To My Dark Love

Your hair is thick with chestnut curls
Your eyes with amber waves
I feel my life begin to whirl
I must be strong and brave
Adrift on unquiet endless seas
My mind begins to haze
The world is filled with a humming breeze
As time comes into phase
In your gaze, my eyes are caught
I fall and fall with grace
This lesson we all must need be taught
We will all find our place
Together the world seems all right
Falling in love in the dark of night

Harpie

Harpie

Along a darkened road

By a glistening brook

A lonely maid sat waiting

For a love to come along

She waited very patiently

She could not comprehend

Why no one ever came looking?

What caused her heart to rend?

Eventually no one remembered

The poor maid waiting there

Till all that was left of her

Was her long luxurious hair

Then there came a minstrel

Lacking proper resources

He used the hair for strings

And the bones for harp pieces

When he brought it to town

The hair played its own tale

The lesson learned by all?

Sometimes even the good fail

No Words

Someday never comes

Tomorrow waits for none

If you can hear me, answer

Cause my darkness screams in the night

My throat is raw, I’ve screamed so much

My tears burn fire down my cheeks

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever ended

My terror frightens me

I have no words

Anguish is a lesson in patience

Sorrow is a tale written in woe

There is no longer a hiding place

Time is all that’s left
