A Plot of Life

Surprises in life
Come as they may
Like a lump in your throat
That won't go away.
Never quite ready
For what can't be seen,
Only you'll feel it
Once there you have been.

Onward they come
Downtrodden or not,
Happy and safe,
There's a twist in the plot!
Could be untimely
Or fortunate yet
It's part of this life
The motion's been set.

Tears with emotion,
Falling like rain...
As death comes to knock
As a loved one is lain.
A heart felt so heavy
From a job that's been lost,
The burden too heavy
From the tally of cost.

The joy of a newborn
Just opening new eyes,
The laughter of children
Playing outside.
The quiet surrender
To one held so tight,
In a moment so small
Everything seems so right.

Surprises come sudden
We can change what we may
But sometimes we can't change
The hand we must play.

Assumption Dispelled

She speaks in tear swept whisper
Without a remorse
Rebuking her teardrops
She tries them to ignore.

She listens to no one
For matters concerned
And speaks from her heart
What she surely endures.

I thought pain it engulfs her
With confusion amiss,
Denied without pardon
Apart from her bliss,

A heart torn asunder
She weeps for a soul
Yet the words from her lips
Right the wrongs
And cause me, her to adore.

She speaks of a beast
Met once in the dark
That carried her off
And then stole her heart,

Such deep hidden beauty
She saw in his eyes
And heard what had caused
The great pain in his sighs.

He never saw light
As he stumbled in pain
Growing so inward
And deeply in vain.

Never could she save him
But could she lead him away?
Could she love him enough
That he never would stray?

She played on his heart
As she called him by name
Leading to light
Less subtile than day,

Somewhere in the doldrums
Where light and dark feast
Peering strange visage
Of man, not a beast,

Love brought them together
When darkness had fled
Happy ensued
With tears that were shed.

She speaks fond of the memories
Without a remorse
Rebuking the tears
Once their loneliness bore.

Absolutely beautiful MisKim....all the stuff that dreams are made of.

Thank you vivian2981 for your comment, I'm glad you liked the write.

Hee hee Thanks DKW.

Hey there Jimz and thanks bro. Things have been pretty hectic here, but all is well. I hope all is well your way also.

Awww thanks (((MsTeddyBear)))! I hope all is well with you. Sorry about being away for so long. I'm trying to come back more often.

Unhidden

You are the night that surrounds me
When I am alone
The whispers that beckon
Speak from the pillow I hold.

You are the heartbeat
Sustaining my life
The water to quench
A thirst that won't dry.

Perhaps you're the tune
That plays fond in my mind
Or a smile that shines
To brighten my night.

You are the one
Whom touches my soul
Kissing my pain
With the love you well show.

I'm only worthy to lie at your feet
Yet gently you urge
These strange feelings in me.

To grant you a wish
If only I could
With heartfelt emotion
You know that I would.

To hold you eternal
I'd give you my soul
To love you forever
This, dear, is my goal.

Volumes are spoken here as they are consumed in awe. Very nice.

Very nice. It is silence that affords us to put off the insanities of life sometimes.

Wow, what a precious gift. You always were a heart stopper and that's what I like about you so much. Remembering someone isn't about what they did, they're remembered for how they live. Very heartfelt, Thanks LAMom.

Aww, thanks MisKim. That's sweet to say. I'm glad you liked it.

Aww, Thanks (((LAMom))). I've been away too long.

Very nice DKW, sorry I was late to read that one. AngelLight is always helpful, even when sometimes she doesn't know it. hee hee

Willing Captive

Never were I a knight of any form
For The dark hath been my armor
And mine persistance, my greatest virtue.
The torch once carried in anger
Now extinguished by the love
You give so complete and freely.

I stare into the deep pools of thine soul,
Basking in the warm comfort of being found.
You are mine lady of light,
Whom condemns my darker self
Into the obscurity of forgetfulness.

Thine eyes see within this heart
And sing away the rage once felt so deeply.
I tremble to thine touch,
So delicate and demure.
For you,
I am a willing captive
Held by the touch of your lips.

Thine hair flows as silken ribbons,
Riding upon the gentle winds;
Your voice is carried sweetly
And laid upon mine ear
To gently remind me
That you are.

Dream In Twilight

In twilight I dream
Somewhere in time
Something here is missing
Yet something felt not right.

A tearing of my spirit
So faithful in it's hold,
Painfully aware,
Unrelenting and so cold.

Caught between the borders
Confusion spilled amiss
Comming round so slowly
A death within a wish.

Visions maybe memories
Voices, twisted words
Scratchy records play
Memories out of verse.

Shadows dancing rampant
Fog begins to sway...
Eerie shapes disturbing
What light was here to stay.

Squeezed into submission
A fight is worth what's lost,
To the spoils go the victor
Summing up the cost.

Twilight dreams of madness
Caught within a hold
Plaguing dreams of grandeur
Painted my fool's gold.

Conforming to confusion
Pretend to right what's wrong
Awaking out of anger
And again a life moves on.

Fadedspirit 4/29/2009

DKW...Ahhh...yup...ya know how my backwards mind runs forward....lol
I'm glad ya understood it and liked as well, thanks. *big bear hugs back atcha*

I actually almost got confused writing that one...lol

For the curious minds who wanna know......I've been swamped with work as well as tending to my garden. I usually pop in long enough to read a bit and wake up with my keyboard implanted into my forehead....lol

Awww, thanks (((LAMom))). I didn't mean to be missed too much. I'll have to try to come back more often. I'm glad you liked the write.

Thanks DaveyB. I'm glad you liked it.

Inversive Ammendment

The morbid sting of life's injection
Heralds the prideful mourn of loss,
A stagnant mind bewildered
By the paths that once had crossed.
A vacant vessel laid to rest
As a concience travels on,
Freed from a world of sea
Where illusions there are spawned.

Behind a lightened heart
Is found a beast enraged,
Within a docile soul somewhere
An unseemly war is waged.
The angry heart's eruption
Feeds upon the weak,
Yet unbeknown unto this beast
The mighty hand is meek.

The thoughtless clash of anger
Reeks of mortal sins
While yet a peace inherited
Calls to life within.

Dark and light
Engaged in murderous delusion,
Aversions made yet paths the same
Call to time's allusion.
Where fertile thoughts had fought to grow
Now lies a wasted field
Where once a youth had played in dreams
The fragments lie unhealed.

Recompense is found so useless
While laid upon dead ground,
The strongest of the mighty
Have been slain by words thrown down.

Fear not the judges' sentence
Yet ponder not what's seen
Sift what seems illusion
While a glimpse of truth comes clean.
Though the war is far from over
Amend for what's been wronged
Enlightened by your sacrifice
You'll find what wisdom shall belong.

Life To The Madness Inside

In the dark
An expanse of neverending time
A day speeds forward
As a minute has barely traveled by.

Caught up in the sea of madness
Within one's self
There's no call for pity
As one feels so dusty
Forgotten, upon the shelf.

A favorite book
Whose memory remains
Stained upon
The heart of the reader.

Lonely gives in
To a depression of sorts
As busy lives hustle by.

As a lone figure sits
In a crowded place,
A shadow remains
Whom wears no face.

Their meaning seen
To many are hid,
Found with heart
Searched deep within.

The passion stirs
Where lonliness dwells
While words spring up
As happiness hails,
The return of a soul
Searching deep within.

A rapture of sorts
Caught within a mind
And seen like sunshine
within the heart
Of a writer.

It's they who bear
The soul they share
And the passions touched
Within their soul
Through the words
They choose to portray.

Not mindless clutter
Nor bantered utters
They give life
To what's inside.

Fadedspirit 2/16/2009

Made From Nothing

A tiny scrap
Of nothing
Filled with great something
Folded so neatly
And placed in your palm,

Wet from few tears
And faded by fears
Was something
No other would see.
None other than you
Could it be.

Expectant intrigued
Unfolded and pleased
With just a small scrap
In your hand,

You held what would be
What the world couldn't see
What your teardrops
Have made so real,

This lump of nothing
You feel.

You unfolded a heart
There in the dark
Stained by
Tears made of long past.

Creased and so fragile
Yet limpidly agile
New life
Into this heart
You've breathed.

None other would dare
Nor ever quite share
The kiss
That would cause me to live,

I'm blessed with the gifts you give.

You took me from nothing
And you've given me something
To look oh so forward to,

The gift of a life within you.

Fadedspirit 2/11/2009

I always love the pictures you paint for the mind. Sometimes there are great presents of hope in the dark.

Very nice.
