PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the night is silent as the moonlight surrounds me 
protecting me from the darkness that seems to want to 
swallow me into eternal damnation 
alone I am wishing for things that will and can never be again
one spark out of all the fires that burn in the night to ignite the phoenix of love from the cold gray ashes 

when you're young you live for the fairytale world of heroes and honor . you believe there's a unconditional love that takes no work 
it just is and always will be 
true love never has any doubt no consequences ,
the hero rides away searching for the kings holy grail 
which is never found .
and all the promises said in the heat and passion of the night
were made with a true heart with the expectations of lasting for ever more .

the sad but simple truth is even a granite mountain can be taken down from it's lofty heights with time and elements slowly but steadily never realizing the dangers till it is to weak to fight back 
I open my eyes….
I stare into the night with what some would perceive as nothingness 
just the billions of stars twinkling back but I can't help but wonder could each of those stars be a reminder of a misguided love gone wrong ,how many fools came before me staring into the heavens thinking of the happiness of long ago when fools believed 

how many would give anything shy of their child's or they're own lives just to feel the way they once did 
I'm a man of many things some I'm proud of ,some not so much,some have brought only self stained shame 
I have been and at times still am a walking contradiction of terms 
where I see with no clarity of who I really am 
in My life I've truly loved three women neither of which was any stronger than the other ,

just different there's that first love you will never forget as long as you live just cause it was the first confusing an painful . the second I lost to no fault of mine just the forces that be decided to take her from us...... 
the night is silent as the moonlight surrounds me 
protecting me from the darkness that seems to want to 
swallow me into eternal damnation 
alone I am wishing for things that will and can never be again
one spark out of all the fires

that burn in the night to ignite the phoenix of love from the cold gray ashes 
no one knows it more that I the mistakes made by both sides 
her's is a love I miss so dreadfully that tears could and have flowed at any given time

living without her is my punishment for believing there's a unconditional love that takes no work 
it just is and always will be 
my atonement for my sins
