the day is cold
fall leaves hitting the earth
wind whipping around us as we walk
colors change from green to red, orange, and brown

yellow leaves floating in the river i walk by
the ducks and birds sing their song
i listen to them and sing back

the day is colder
winter snow hitting the ground
snowmen being built by children
roads and walkways shoveled by adults
colors changing with the sun

i wonder where the cherry blossoms blow
a branch i bear, apple trees
beside me flows a languid stream

in the sight of an ancient tree
within the vale of crystal glow
where visions unseen come and go

in harmony of song
its magic in peace i know
they hail together each new birth of time

in sight of seasons change
summer leaves scatter
to fall colors entering

a distant isle sunk in shadows
winters bitter chill
anew with rare force
till spring may come again

by scarlet rose
four of these lines come from a book called a Celtic psaltery by Alfred perceval graves.
"here they are: a branch i bear,apple trees"
"a distant isle sunk in shadows"
"in the sight of an ancient tree"
"in harmony of song"
"they hail together each new birth of time"

an unknowing path
as i walk
a single tree grows
while a river flows
the sun shining
the wind howling

as i walk
a tomb i see
a grave nearby
no stars

as i walk
the cold grass i feel
the silence of darkness

as i walk
a new day may starts
living is all i can do

the siren may be said to be
the lady of the sea
naiad are her kin

eyes that entrance all
who see her
a temptress to all
eyes that magnetize

bewitching men since ancient times
blue eyes that match her tail
hair as bright as the sun

to light of day
to dark of night
her siren's song i hear
when the siren sings

I feel the pain in my veins
The life slowly fading
I know that it's frightening
I've only just begun living
In darkness of night
I saw in my dreams
The angel of death
we've only just begun
hypnotized by drums
now i know my time has come
the chase has begun
Flames licking at my heels
Trying to run away
Cherry tears fall down my face
His kiss of night
My death
Cloaked in darkness
Standing in shadow

inspired by the band called " the wanted"
some of the words or phrases in this poem are from the soundtrack called
'the wanted' i did my best to do all the words myself.
these guys tend to give me alot of inspiration.
i hope they don't mind.

dead roses
under the fist of hate
through the eyes of hell
flowing rain
lost cold eyes

searching for a way
begging and pleading
under a dark black sky

timeless rage
deadly hell
screaming at the sky again

single lies
darkness forever
hate your beautiful way

crimson moon
black tears
and all love completely erased
rose colored falling flames

by scarlet rose
inspired by the band called "sevendust"
some of the lines or words are from lyrics to a band called sevendust.
these are some of the songs that inspired me....
"mountain" "faithless" "black out the sun" "dead roses"

her movements entice the desolate
she twists and turns tempting all around
flowers of crimson cast their hue
sparks of ruby fly to kiss the night

her movements ****** the lonely
she twists and turns tempting all around
her eyes literally burning

they spin and turn while the fire burns
her eyes burning like heated coals

they spin and turn while the fire burns
sparks flying to kiss the sun
flowers cast their scarlet hue
