The Dark

I spend my nights,
hiding from the dawn,
up all night,
everything is wrong.

Thoughts racing through my head,
heart pounding in my chest.

I know it won't be long,
my wonderful darkness,
it will all be gone.

Forced to live in their mundane life,
I'm not like them,
I have no wife.

It is tomorrow,
and soon the light will come,
full of sorrow,
for now I must run,
hiding from the sun.

Born of Storms

I am a spirit,
a storm brought forth,
cold as ice,
winds from the north.

Loud is my thunder,
gentle is my rain,
drown out the hurt,
wash away my pain.

It still hurts,
even though I try,
destruction by lightning,
hiding the reason why.

I wrap myself in thunder,
slowly move on,
the way I feel,
can't be described in poetry or song.
The thunder rolls on.

Oh Starry Night

Oh starry night,
in your arms I find delight,
I spread my wings and take flight,
in the starry night.
You pull me into a cool embrace,
your mist soothes my hearts desire,
and quenches hate's deadly fire.
By your eerie light,
this I write,
no need of candle light,
your darkness I do not fight,
my eyesight you do not bite.
Your gentle breeze across my hair,
with love as a mother's care.
You have a heart,
'tis what I found,
neither of us make a sound,
peace in each other we have found.
I say to you dear friend,
let our closeness never end.

Frozen Tree

I am freezin',
yet I'm not sneezin',
what is wrong?

Now I know,
it should have stayed,
that is the right way.

What did I do?
I had to choose,
every time I loose,
every time the same thing I do.

Let me freeze,
let me leave,
so myself I will no longer deceive.

I am me,
a frozen tree,
I should just let it be.

Once, Twice, Ice

Before me the icy depths await,
there's no escaping my fate.
Behind me,
my hands are bound,
death creeping,
the only sound.
A heart no longer beats within' my chest,
I shall never be laid to rest,
over the edge I step.
Falling further,
faster,
is it really such a disaster?
Color draining from my face,
falling into,
out of,
and around this place.
Transformed by the bitter cold,
to me its secrets told.
I brush the frost from my hair,
everyone avoids my icy stare.
From me they turn and run,
they do not understand what I've become.
A tear runs down my cheek,
ice hits my feet.
Wish I could melt away,
no, the chill is here to stay.
Everything to hide,
nothing to say,
everyone just stays out of my way.

Shadow

I am a shadow,
a shadow of the night,
hiding in darkness,
away from the light.

Forged by life's icy hand,
resisting it's every command.
Born of a broken heart,
hiding in the shadows,
comfort in the dark.

Frightened and alone,
with no one to talk,
chilled to the bone,
in the dark I walk.

Alone I walk,
in the cold night air,
with the darkness,
everything I share.

Every night it's always there,
never hurting,
somehow it cares.

Me it understands where others do not try,
no longer do I ask why,
all I do is cry.

I am a shadow,
a shadow of the night,
no longer do I fight,
this is my plight.
