Welcome to Dark Tear's Poetry Corner...

just out of reach
another damn mirage
drive you mad
tease and tug at the heart
feeling the image ripple
back and forth almost my memory
wanting you to be a part of it
even though you are
hush don't say it
let me believe
floating a bit too high
losing the reality of the fall
surviving the gift
bleeding from the harsh whisper
to see this everyday
BLACK
tis time to take your grip elsewhere
forever is always never
your evil blue eyes trapped
cradle my shattered soul
whip the crescent into your abode
truly exist within
being worth a million full moons
to give up the fear
and swallow the rings



?


where there are no words
i catch myself staring
looking deep within
trapping the image
wanting to remember every glimmer
it makes my heart jump with passion
do you know how that feels
i almost forgot how it was
to feel
your embrace softly reminded me
to kiss you even for one last time would be more than enough
searching for the words to tell you
remaining mute for some mysterious reason
maybe it is my silence that keeps me safe
not letting you have the key to my tears
but wanting you to have it all
wandering in this world of confusion i have created
and yet you are not turned away
when i close my eyes the image of you is there
strong and pure
when i open my eyes i only hope you will still be there

drifting in a dark sea
choking on what i know
laughing at what i don't
hands searching for safety
trying to find you
seeming only to find myself reliving my nightmare
remembering how the waves thrashed my heart
and how the predators thrived on my soul
wanting your arms to wrap around me
making the past disappear
when our lips touch you are the only thing i know to be real
can that be the only way to survive
to look in someone's eyes and drift away
floating in the clouds where the sun and moon don't reach
drinking in the beautiful blood of happiness
continuing my existance with you
never to slip from your embrace again
