Moonlight glows in ebony night

Branches reach to find the light

Stretching up to meet the glow

Her barren limbs begin to grow

Shortening distance between the spark

And land now covered by the dark

She reaches midnight’s golden sun

As ethereal colored worlds are spun

Anchored roots that hold her steady

She is unafraid, strong and ready

To catch the moon, perhaps, perchance

Luring him in with her moonlight dance

Elfin warrior
The battle is done
Yet where are your men
What have you won?

Sit on your throne
Count the victories behind
Conquering battles
Now lost in your mind

Bury your sword
In the land you have claimed
Rejoice in the victory
Remember thy name

For you are the only one
Left to this land
Your soldiers lay wasted
By your very own hand

The passionate kiss

A mere mortal compulsion

Used for affection

Rebirth

We tend to chase away the pain
Run away from where it came
Disappear, yet once again
It comes back to us, all the same

We fight the battle to win the war
The one we never asked for
Waging against a mighty plight
Raging into the depths of night

We struggle to find the safest place
To rest from this weary human race
And gather our souls for better’s worth
Yet find an absence here on Earth

Within ourselves, within our heart
We reach inside and find the part
Missing deep within our soul
A simple piece to make us whole

He’s been with us through all our sorrow
He’ll be with us, again, tomorrow
A grace not found upon this earth
The son of God, our spiritual rebirth

Before I Slip Away

Do you hear me when I cry
Feel the teardrops as they fall
Can you hear my trembling sigh
When I feel so very small

Do you see the pain inside
Can you calm the fear
Do you see what I can’t hide
Please, make the darkness disappear

Will you hold me in your arms
Comfort me at night
Will you quiet all my qualms
And chase away the fright

Hear me, see me, hold me close
Don’t let me go astray
Just be my painless antidote
Before I slip away
