Gallows

Together we play
As different as night and day

Two people from backgrounds far and wide
Our love on wheels for we do glide

House of rich and house of poor
Class of act, so very sore

On and on our lives did run
Up until I had been shun

And here I sit, in dismay
The ends of rope begin to fray

Tight to lose that rope does go
As I swing to and fro

For I sit there right before
Gallows of four with swinging doors

Bodies of men swing back and forth
The Lords of Heaven pointing North

And up I stand and up I go
Up with the spirits, that do flow

For up to Heaven is my place
Scarred for life on Earth I did face

For my act of class was not so fair
From people's looks, I saw glares

Atop that platform I did stand
Far beneath me was hard sand

Between it and I, lay a door
They called it peaceful compared to gore

But I doubt as I stood upon that deck
They had tried it with owns neck

For that door did open, you do see
When he put down his cup of tea

Raise of hand, point of finger
Feeling in my neck no longer linger

And as my body swung adrift
In all my life, it was her face I did miss

Sand

Epic Poem (AKA: Very Long)

As the light comes to day
I stand there in the sand
My long coat was around me
The vastness very grand

The sand in the storm swirls
Those grains of sand my life
Swirling round and round again
My cries a cutting knife

A knife that is no longer sharp
My heart a piece of ice
Left to sit in the sands of time
My attempts have been thrice

Thrice have been my tries for love
But love not come to me
For I have tried my best you see
But the sand before me is a sea

A sea which goes on forever
Forever in each way
And there I stand, my coat around
Hoping to meet that Fay

And then from the Heavens she came
Her wings a quick flutter
Down and down as she came forth
Up until that shudder

The shudder of that sand beneath
Just before I could say
My body enclosed by that sand
Swept away from that Fay

Falling out into the darkness
That darkness the abyss
The grains of sand turn into stars
Fallen to the grass I do miss

Looking up to the stars above
Laying on my back
My coat spread out beneath me
My mind and heart lacking fact

The fact that love is out there
Out there for me to find
To find there among the stars
One of them to be mine

And then I find that lovely girl
Whose person I adore
Her lips so nice, her skin so fair
This Fay I would fight for


With her I fell in love with
To love with all my heart
My soul never been so sure
So sure right from the start

But along down the road of life
Something seemed to change
You or me I'm not so sure
Something for sure is strange

And I'm just trying to figure
As I look at today
Of that phone call from this morning
Why you seem to push me away

You tell me everything is fine,
Yet here I get calls
Telling me subliminally
That I'm going to fall

I already fear the dark
Unfortunately that part is true
But despite anything that comes
I still much love you

But I question your motives
When it seems so strange
That you avoid seeing me at all
As if there is something to gain

I'm sorry you think this way
I feel it is my doing
But I just want to know
If it is from me renewing

Renewing to see the future
My future out before me
Telling me to slow down
Or this what will happen I see

For I will change my ways to conform
Conform to ways I do not know
Know that is which my mind does not
Knowing then my mind needs to slow

Slow down to the pace
The pace of the people
People of this wretched world
The key in a steeple

The steeple of love
The steeple a symbol
This isn't a joke,
My heart isn't nimble

Being nimble for days
Of days since past
Past into the sands of time
Time never seeming to last

The sand in my hand
Slipping through my fingers
Down unto the ground
The feeling of lost still lingers

To be lost in infinity
That infinity of sand
The grains of sand my life
With only one place to land

Down and down I go
To that abyss far below
Myself I'm unable to save
But I have nowhere else to go

And then in my eyes
For wings due lie
Far above me
At noon's due high

Zoom down the wings do
Do closer to me
Closer and closer
Until the whites I can see

The whites of the eyes
In them an amber-green
The green turn to blue
For blue I now see

Your arm stretched out
Fair hand at the end
My hand reaching back
My heart beginning to mend

To the nose the smell of sea air
Gone, swept to the sea
The length of my coat
Flowing behind me

My hair blown back
As I look over my shoulder
And my eyes fall upon you
Sitting on top of a boulder

Your black dress around you
Swept around by the breeze
Those lovely blue eyes
Reflecting the mood of the sea


The sea a surprising calm
Waves of it no longer crashing
Only to be replaced
By the sounds of swords clashing

A sword now in my hand
Rising to defend
My enemy across from me
My heart undoing its mend

The small battle ensued throughout
Small compared to cause
The cause with great purpose
Wishing it a mirage

A strike and a slash
A gash on my cheek
The sword raised in the ready
My words unable to speak

And down it comes
Down on top upon me
The sword bearing down
My own image I do see

Is my own death before me
That image I do see
Bathed deep in my blood
My soul forever never free

And then I realize
My arm very sore
As I look up towards the sky
My sword bathed in his gore

My stomach now meek
The sword clatters out of hand
Down to upon the ground
Back to be covered with sand

The two hands of mine
Hitting sand hard
Down to the earth
For my cheek now scarred

Sitting up on my knees
I look towards the sky
My hands clasping my face
My eyes ready to cry

But the tears do not come
Cometh from deep within me
As I remove my hands
To see those eyes smiling with glee

To upon your face I do look
Look with my own eyes
The ice blue still there
But I do no longer hide

My legs standing up
For with them I do rise
For me I do look deep
Deep within your own eyes

Your eyes of that blue
And within them I see that symbol
My eyes lay upon that steeple
My heart not needing to be nimble

No longer pulled from all sides
My heart now lays here in rest
For you now lay beside me
My heart never more a guest

The sounds of those bells
Upon the pavement we walk
The sight of rice thrown
Do afterwards we talk

We talk of the times from before
Long before this day had come
Sifting through the sand of time
My wish never been undone

And then my hand reaches up
Up to my cheek's side
Fingers feeling my scar
Within me no longer to hide

Your face becomes angry
Angry eyes no longer that blue
For then I sit there in thought
My mind slowed as if in glue

This isn't what I wanted
Too much happened too fast
For I had to strike down a friend
To force something to last

Your figure looks at me
Before turning to sand
My whole world around me
Returning back to be damned

And there I sit again
Again there knee-deep
The sand up to my thigh
With no one else to keep

My eyes return to be closed
The sight of that sand just too much
My head buried in knees
Just before feeling that touch

That touch of an angel
Forgiveness in that touch
For you then stand over me
Meaning to me all that much

My eyes look up at you
Broken from my own doing
Before standing on one knee
Myself done from reviewing

For this reviewing was not renewing
But rather a chance for me
For me to see my future
My future out before me

But in order to see the future
For the future I want to see
I sit here to look back
Back upon memories of me

I do look back at my memories
Towards all the past fun
And I smile in awe
As it comes in place second to none

I'm going to cheerful
I'm keeping you with me
You make so happy
Oh please don't leave me

I feel myself changing
Better all is this change
The better in my life
With all for me to gain

To gain is what I have
Have set out before me
To thee I must say something
For you and I, I do see

And then there I am
Swept back to the sea
Upon thee I look upon
And upon me do thee

And there my ice blues do stare
Stare into thou light blue
Light blue as the sky
The sky to me anew

Anew is my life
My life new with you
With you I do see
More than just a few

Out friends and our family
All happy and known
You and I with some
Two little ones our own

Two little girls
One young and one old
For the two of them play
With fairy wings colored of gold

My lips drawn close to yours
Closer and closer still
The feel of our lips pressed
That void of mine filled

That void was infinity
To which before I was lost
Lost and not to be found
Until our paths crossed

When our paths crossed
That long time ago
For you I did fall for
But not letting you know

And know you did not
Until a few years had past
After you and I both met
And then our meeting did last

As our lips are pressed
Time seems to slow down
My arms wrap around you
'Round that black gown

Your hand on my neck
Fingers stroking the back
My soul purring inside
The sound that of a cat

When our lips part
My head snuggles to yours
In your ear I whisper
"I am forever yours"

My heart is now at ease
The soul of mine at home
For you I do adore
The love for you is known

I must say, my favourite of your poems so far is: Gallows

This is not due to the way it is written, or the words used. But rather the emotion it recalls in me when I read it. I don't have much time right now to give pointers or such: So I shall be back!
I thought I would just quickly comment to tell you how much I liked it: In my books, it is beautiful.
