Hear my cry
o darkened night
give me taste of understanding...
Tell me why
o sweet white knight
I feel the glove of reprimanding?

Shall I quiver?
Shall I beg?
Whisper you,
dream sweet to bed?
My dreams are but a sea of sand...
My heart, the stranger
in strange land...

Tell me how to make it right.
Tell me, I might sleep tonight.

tears from your soul me twin
a heart bleeding ... needing answers...
prayers for s'en to know serenity
me loves ya baby...
looking south...singing a lullabye in the wind
*kiss kiss*
me


There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Very well done Serenity,
much different than your normal style.
I love this!
I give you my shoulder to lay down your head and cry that sorrow out till you sleep with the angels.

This is very haunting! There should be sound effects with it..the lonely cry of an owl..the wind gently blowing...very good!

Everytime I try to break away, I read something this good and I have to stick around for more ... thanks serenity ...

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

lay thy head gentle goddess
soft upon my heart
let me sing thee a song
finest example of my art
a song of thy life
sad but gentle
a lullaby to ease thy pain
to close thine eyes and help thee to dream
dream of a life that might someday be
guiding thy heart to a place in life's stream
and showing you that life
can be more than a dream. . .

superb my friend. . . you heart shows in this one. . . excellent. . .

wow, serenity, this poem is short but packed full with wonderful imagery...like the way you phrase "taste of understanding"..."glove of reprimanding"

esp like "my heart, the stranger in a strange land"...short and effective, implying that the speaker doesnt know herself any more

thanx for the read
