In shadows deep, where the lost souls crept,  
I walked to the lake, into darkness I leapt.  
Nobody around, just the Echo of Fate,  
A watery clear mirror, reflecting my hate.  
No sound, just whispers of the dead in the night,  
Gazed at the water, consumed by its light. 

Appeared from nowhere, crossed time, bridged space,  
How did Love know where to find this place?  
Dancing in the twilight, a Specter of Dreams,  
Blue-Green eyes like the abyss, hiding sorrowful schemes.  
Knew from the start, Love wanted her heart,  
To be bound in darkness, never to part.  

Destined to meet, had no idea why,  
What a kind, hopeful, passionate romantic guy!
Foliage reflection, in a silent forest clime,  
A window, a portal, a wormhole in time.  

Peeked through the Veil, past the Divide,  
Caught in the currents of this cosmic ride.  
With every heartbeat, the shadows conspire,  
In the depths of the lake, lay our burning desire.  

In the stillness, I felt the world fade away,  
An ocean of memories, where dreams come to play.  
Her laughter, a Siren, beckoning to the lost,  
In the realm of the ******, Love, no matter the cost.  
Together we danced, in the chaos and grime,  
Eternally bound by the Threads of Time.  

Fish made their move, taken by surprise,  
As Divine Love entered, in disguise,  
From the depths of silence, emerging like a flame,  
A heart bound by destiny, yet free from the chains.  
  
So here at the lake, where shadows entwine,  
In death's cold embrace, love's spark will still shine.  
With a ghost by my side, and to us fate yet to unveil,  
In the echo of the water, our love will prevail.
Walked to the lake, nobody around,  
The sun dipped low, not a whisper, no sound.  
Watery clear, mirrored skies so wide,  
In the stillness of dusk, I felt love collide. 

Fish made their move, taken by surprise,  
While divine love entered, masked in disguise.  
Appeared from nowhere, like a spark in the dark,  
Lost my breath, every word left a mark.  

Knew from the start, love wanted her heart,  
To make her stay from far away, never torn apart.  
A kind, hopeful soul, just a romantic guy,  
With foliage reflections, where love learned to fly.  

Silent forest clime, like a dream in a trance,  
A window, a portal, a chance to romance.  
Peeked through the veil, past the divide,  
In the echo of silence, I couldn’t hide.  

Oh, how did love know where to find this place?  
Crossed time, bridged space, a sweet embrace.  
Destined to meet, though I had no idea why,  
In the dark of the night, under the velvet sky.  

Oh, how did love know where to find this place?  
Oh, how did love know where to find this place?  
Oh, how did love know where to find this place?  
In the dark of the night, our hearts interlaced.
Woke up to a fading sun,  
Another day just begun,  
But shadows whisper in my mind,  
All the doors I left behind.  
I’m searching for a sign, can’t find a way,  
A list of choices, where did I stray?  
Got my heart on my sleeve, my dreams on the line,  
But every turn I take feels like a waste of time.  

Check behind the doors of doubt,  
Facing fears I can’t live without,  
Each one holds a piece of me,  
But none unlock the mystery.  
I feel the weight of what could have been,  
Every moment lost, another battle to win.  
With every step I take, the past pulls me back,  
But I’m chasing the Light, I’ve got the strength to act.

Oh, the nights are long, the doubts run deep,  
But I’ll keep searching, I’ll never lose sleep.  
Behind every door, there lies a new chance,  
A flicker of Hope, it’s time to advance.  

It’s a long walk to the end,  
Where the roads all twist and bend,  
Miscommunications led to Mistakes,  
Bad Choices, or Good Breaks,  
But I’ll keep moving on, my Friend.  

It’s a long walk to the end,  
Yeah, it’s a long walk to the end,  
But I’ll sing my song, I’ll rise again,  
On this long walk to the end.  
It’s a long walk to the end…  
It’s a long walk to the end.
Soft little bubble glowing brightly on the bedroom floor.
In the dark shadow of the early morning peeping shyly.
Dancing in the corner like a delicate flower of light.
Glittering, flickering, sparkling like a brilliant gem.
Snuffing out, relighting, fading then shining strongly
like a spotlight beaming past the veil against it.
The blackout curtain imperfectly drawn against the intrusion.
Protecting the world inside from the tiny heaven spark.
Reaching in from a fiery source 1 Earth's Orbit away.
Cracking the barrier against the 4th dimension at its weakest point.
Breaking through the darkness of the new day's dawn.
Disturbing sleepy reality as morning progresses.
Bobbling across the floor like a wobbling balloon
Flaming with growing intention from the simplest photon.
Filling the room with its awesome power
... chasing the darkness away.
Can we?
Can we still hear?
Asking the Question,
Can Everybody Still Hear?
We can!

Do we?
Do we still care?
Knowing the Answer,
Does Anybody Still Care?
We do!

May we?
May we still go?
Daring the Odds,
May Somebody Still Show?
He May!

Shall we?
Shall we still dance?
Taking the Chance,
Shall the Children Still Dance?
They shall!

Will we?
Will we still have time
Robbing the Hall Clock,
Will the Fiery Hell's Bells Still Chime?
They Will!
Cinquain Poem. 5 Stanzas. Attempted Syllable Count: 2, 4, 6, 8, 2
In the long ago past ancient timeline,
A maritime mirror shined bright like glass.
A Cross reflection above the treeline.
Division between like a deep abyss.

Surface tension broken with just a touch.
Stepping out onto on top of the brine.
Moving Minds;Disturbing Thoughts;Did So Much
Don’t worry Child, You did it All just fine.

Passing beneath, under the overpass,
After walking thru a long dark tunnel,
Finally reaching Critical Mass; Then
Rose up high, airborne in a cloud funnel.

For you and I, He gave his life: He died.
Rising again revived; the Son survived.
I'm unsure if the title should be something else; Suggestions?

Walking down a long lonely road
Ever closer nearing the edge
Stepping out off the gravel grade
Walk along right next to the ledge
Saw a cross above the treeline
After traversing the dark tunnel
Passing beneath the overpass
For you he gave his life; He died

Smooth water across was like glass
Tension broken with just a touch
Divide between; a deep abyss
Moving disturbing did so much
He stepped out on top of the brine
Don’t worry child you did it well
Nobody there gave a Rat’s ***
He rose revived the Son survived

Touching the surface a clean slate
Dip it in deep creating wake
The sky a perfect reflection
Send out ripples filling the lake
Long ago past ancient timeline
Rose up high in a cloud funnel
Finally reached critical mass
Emerging on the otherside
Ballade form ... not sure if it's done correctly, seems confusing, 8 syllables per line
