The Prince and I

Underneath the hollow tree an owl watches over me
Without a word alone he sits
Such glaring eyes I know this prince
These trees give cry as though afraid
This nighttime air seems so dismayed
I feel a presence well known to me
A watchful owl opens wings and speaks
"Child sweet child why do you cry?"
"Is it cause your alone and have no where to hide?"
"These eyes see more than what you believe"
"An though a good man I see the pain that you keep"
O owl wise owl I know not what you mean
I am not running, I just want to be seen
An if I say so myself, your eyes are quite gone
I am not crying, now quite, be gone
And at this response the prince just started to laugh
For the owl had known the years of my past
" Listen to me now, I see through all of your lies"
"I can see into your future and the past that you hide"
"And though your not crying I still see all of the tears"
"The loves you have lost and the pain through your years"
"So here you are now, lost and alone"
"As you quiver afraid, still just writing your poems"
"I know you can see what potential you have"
"Stop having self pity and press on through your past"
"Your eyes show your pain and also your strength"
"An though there is sorrow, you shine in your wake"
"I know you feel tired, weakened, and frayed"
"But see past this illusion and stop being afraid"
"The path thats before you offers no help"
"Nothing is given you must take it yourself"
"And when the day comes that your path meets an end"
"I promise before you we will speak once again"
An with a sly gesture the owl took off into flight
As I stood there just watching into the night
Not sure of this vision or what I had seen
I felt passion inside me and reached out for my dream
So with only a gesture and an ending unknown
I started my journey with a pen and a poem
An when I feel lost I will look up to the sky
To see my prince soaring showing me why

The Poet's Kiss

As I rise in the mourning and find you asleep
Somberly you lay there with the beauty you keep
Now pressing our lips we remain so intwined
My heart beating to the symphony that I call your mind
So with a warm hearted smile and all of your love
I fly from my window to the stars up above
For I am the sun and you are the moon
And no matter the years we will continue intune
O love of loves with stars in your eyes
You give reason in being which causes my rise
Softer than silk, your hair falls with such grace
Euphoria fullfilling me when you hold me in place
So here I shall sit and fill book after book
Finding the words for the heart you have took
You are more than a lover you are truly a friend
Shedding my tears while guiding this pen
To say you are perfect would be more than untrue
For it is your flaws for why I love you
Never selfcentered and always so caring
The affection you hold is mine for the taking
So many times have I been lost in the dark
Finding my way with the light of your heart
If only I knew what this life meant to give
Then never in pain we would able to live
So lay there at night and feel all of my words
Only you knowing of the poet's kiss that you heard

The Reflecting Sand

This life that he is living is more than just a dream
Can you feel his passion rising it's bursting at the seams
A young man keeps on writing, alone by candle light
You see his shadows dancing, while his words come into sight
His world is but a mirror, a past thats always there
But if he tilts this mirror, then his path might change a hair
It's all about perspective and where he tends to stand
He sees the things that change him but the view is all in sand
This man has so much meaning but no one seems to see
That he cares not for faulty meanings, he's just wanting to be free
So in this darkened room, still shining is his light
He is sitting in his silence, still just writing in the night
