Light and Dark
I look Up,
See a Light,
I Reach for It,
And It slips away.
I follow It,
Drawn to the Light,
Grasping Desperately,
For I am Afraid,
Fearful of the Dark.
When, Finally,
I take Hold of the Light,
I look Down,
See My Shadow has Grown,
For Darkness Feeds on Light,
And Light on Darkness.
How, then,
Can I have only Light?
I try to Run,
But of course,
The Shadow follows.
If I were to Give In,
To Accept them Both,
What would Happen?
I ask Myself this,
But find no Answer.
And how can I,
When asking Myself?
My Best Friend
Until the End of Time,
Down through the Ocean Deep,
I will be the One to Love You,
The One to Cherish You.
Though You may not Know,
I have long Harbored,
These Feelings toward You,
My Best Friend.
I cannot bring Myself,
To Share them Aloud,
If I did,
Then They might become Real,
And I would be Forced,
To face Acceptance,
Or Rejection.
I must gather My Courage,
And tell You Directly.
So, What do You Say?
Will You Accept Me?
No, wait,
Do not Answer yet,
Give it Time,
Think with Your Heart,
Not Your Mind.
Because I know,
At First Glance,
I may not Seem like Much.
But I'm sure,
That I could Find,
My Potential,
Were You to Answer,
You'll join My Side.
Either way,
I'll Find it One Day,
But I would Like,
You to be There,
The Day that I Do.
This Key
This Key I shall give You,
A Key I dare not Employ,
I Hope You will Wield it properly,
In some Wondrous Manner.
It is no Ordinary Key,
For Doors it does Not Release,
No, It Releases the Truth in Others,
To Expose Them for the World to See.
I'll entrust You this Ability,
For while I know Some may Abuse,
You will Command It suitably,
Some Good You may surely Do.
Believing this, I will Watch,
Watch as You Travel forward,
To the Infinite World,
To what Lies Beyond this Horizon.
I observe You take the Key,
To a Single Person,
A Solitary Individual,
Who would never Himself Bare.
And once You have Completed,
You Bury the Key,
Deep Beneath the Earth,
Where None may Stumble.
With the Last of this Power,
I see You Wander,
No longer One, but Two,
Into the Diverse World.
Blue Feelings
To wrap My Arms around You,
Would be My greatest Sin,
I know the Pain You hold,
That You'll never let Me in.
So I'll stay by Your Side,
Be there to Comfort You,
You'll come around One Day,
Your Feelings no longer Blue.
Allow Me this One Request,
This One Selfish Favor,
The only One I care for is You,
Our Time all I will Savor.
Your Fight
Though the Night be Long,
Though the Day be Brief,
I shall Hang on,
Until We take Our Leave.
Through the Dark, I'll Navigate,
'Till We receive that Light,
Then I'll have to Wait,
'Till You end Your Fight.
Triumphant, You stand,
And I join Your Side,
You take Me by the Hand,
And say It's merely the Start of Our Ride.
Here is where I'll wait;
Your battle victorious,
We'll be together.
One Night in the Snow
I lie in the Snow,
The Blanket of Time,
My cold Breath is low,
We'll be just fine.
I Know not Where,
Nor Why or How,
I came to be There,
For What Matters is Now.
A Drop of Saline,
Fallen down My Cheek,
On Her Shoulder I Lean,
For I am too Meek.
What We Fear most,
Is not Death or Age,
It is simply the Boast,
The turning of the next Page.
And When I Finally get Free,
I Flee for My Life,
For What once was Two, is now Me,
And I Flee not from a Person, but merely Strife.
The River
On the Eve of Time,
I Sit and Wonder,
If What I did was Right,
Will I be Ripped Asunder?
I Often ask Myself,
If I have Hope,
Am I simply kidding Myself?
Would it be Better to Mope?
There then Comes a Moment,
When I Believe I found My Answer,
When My Heart feels light,
My Legs Quick as a Panther.
Yet, I Soon hit a Lull,
A Point when the Feeling Ends,
The Scene suddenly Shifts,
As Away the River Bends.
This River is Special,
One of a Kind,
It Follows no set Course,
Rather My State of Mind.
Sometimes I Dash along,
Others I Crawl,
But what Truly Matters,
Is Whether I've been Tried.
