"This Road"

This road I travel is dark and long
With many twists and turns.
And even though I may act strong,
With every step, my soul burns.
Turn the corner, turn the page,
I see you standing tall.
A new act begins on lifes grand stage,
Will you catch me if I fall?

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

Time has passed, you have gone,
I travel alone, you have moved on.
I carry with me a memory,
I follow the road to eternity.
A new traveler passes me by,
I slow and I watch her sit and cry.
I take a seat next to her,
What dark memories haunt this traveler?

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

I lift my hand to comfort her,
She shakes her head and sighs.
She raises her face, begins to stir,
She glances at me with tear-stained eyes.
No words are spoken, her gaze says it all.
She has grown tired of the pain.
As she slowly rises, stands so tall,
Her voice echoes through the rain.

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

A simple question, seven small words,
Spoken by this traveler.
The road of life has eroded her soul,
She feels trapped in this bottomless hole.
Her voice rings out, repeats the plea,
A desperate cry of misery:
"Will you catch me if I fall?"
Her voice seems so meek, so small.

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

I lift my hand to her dark eyes,
Slowly brush away the tears.
She leans into my touch and sighs,
I have put to rest her fears.
We now travel the road together,
And although my burden is strong,
I will never abandon her,
Heads raised, we walk on.

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

"I miss you"

River of pain, salty badges of truth
They pour from the windows of her soul
Her light is fading, she fears the last
He will come back to save her….

He left, he left. Life’s cruelest punishment
Neither wanted it to be like this, he leaves
She stands there, her back to the sun
Her wish is whispered on the wind

Come back to me, come back to me
On wings so swift and gentle
Give me that loving caress
And lift my spirit from this hell

She would follow, travel the distance
He means more to her than life itself
And she would gladly give up all that was
For all that could be...

Faint voices reach her ears
Keeping her head above the water
Treading in that sea of remembering
She would not let herself go under

And reaching that cliff
Running fast, legs burning
She stops at the very tip
Dredges up her last reserves

Stay long, and be strong
You know that I shall return
You, the light of my life
You know this to be true

And she keeps it up
Hiding her tears from everyone
I will be strong, I will not fall through
Once again turns her back to the sun

The invisible messenger brushes
Past her ears, rustles her hair
That voice which keeps her going
Be strong....for I shall return…

[Lycanthrope]

To She Out of Dream:
To she whom has guided me through hardship
Kindest to aid me in all ways
Cruelest to flaunt what we both know can never be
That her flesh, insubstantial, not there
She can be but in my mind
but there she and I reside
In eachothers arms
A love that never was
and never will be
and I can still remember the taste of her lips
And though I know it was just a dream
I know you have taught me much
given much
taken much
But come again in sleep
oh goddess of dreams
where again I can know the bliss
that that our illusory love
did provide.

[Aeria]

Sit with me

There's a time that can't be told,
A calm within a storm,
Sit with me but for a while,
Beside this fire warm.

Yes I know the world calls your name,
And you'd rather hear it's cry,
But please, just for a little while,
Let's rest here you and I.

Sit with me, my friend, and tell your tale
this is a rare respite,
Just this once forget your cares,
And relax here for tonight.

Outside it snows, blustery and cold,
But here we're warm and safe,
So sit with me but for a time,
I will not keep you late.

I'm so very much alone, and I appreciate
The kindess that you show
When you sit with me and tell me tales,
I thought you'd like to know.

Okay, co-poem by me and Cloud. First two stanzas are his, next two are mine...and we kinda switch off from there randomnly. Enjoy.

"What Dreams May Come"

Random thoughts from my whole day,
In my mind they hold no sway.
But in her mind, their grip is tight,
Prophesy comes to her at night.

Dreams of the future, can they be true?
Or are they really out of the blue?
For these dreams, don't say, 'oh well',
They'll come to pass, time will tell.

For two who thought that all was right
Truths they covered themselves, clouded sight
And fate again has played her cruel cruel hand
From what was a bond, grew from fragile strand

It showed again again, time and time it came
They brushed it off, thought it was all a game
Then one time, it grew stronger by the hour
Stunned, played not by their minds, hearts power

Twisted these bonds, should they raise the thorns?
And convince themselves it didn't happen come morn?
What to do, what to do, the answer wasn't clear
And the cards in the deck, time came too near

Before, they ran away, kept it under wraps
But now they have fallen in their clever traps
This changes everything, this wasn't meant to be
Or was it? How could it? Did they actually see?

Truth, it seemed to really be,
Fruit borne from reality.
Fragile strand, now strong as steel,
Causing both of them to reel.

Finally pausing, looking back,
They still weren't sure, was love not lacked?
With these thoughts, they did grapple,
All these worries stemmed from an apple.

The tears, the falling, the covering up of it all
Were the others unimportant? Against fate, mere featherfall?
This is real, this is true, is this finally the way?
And what will she dream of, and will she say?

In her hands lie the key, she can put it under lock
But trembling, stumbling, key almost dropped in shock
And on her knees she goes, and then she began to weep
Why must she uncover this secret, prophets sleep?

He sat there, waiting, anxiously so,
He couldn't bear it, he must know!
But now he waits for her return,
To find out all that she has learned.

The next morn now comes, she now wakes,
Her dreams have told her of their fates.
She comes to him, looks in his eye,
What she has learned can't be a lie...

Can it?

[WanderingActor]

Again

I did it again
I pushed them away
At least I made it out
Without getting hurt myself

Lament for the innocent
Condem the shameful
A life of constant trouble
Is what I want to leave behind

So I run as fast as I can
I run till they forget who I am
I run and I run but I get tired you know
But I know that they'll follow me and restart the pain

If I could disappear
Then I surely would
But I'm too damn scared
Of what I would find if I could

But I cannot stop
I can't slow down
I'll be stuck in this rat race
Till I finally find my place

So don't worry about me
I'll keep running away
But if you try to get to know me
Get the hell out of my way

Cause I would hurt you
And leave you
And feel no remorse
Once I get started, I can't leave this course

Please don't think about me
It's better this way
Don't tell me you wanna know me
I don't want you to know me, okay?

So get away
If you need to reach me
I'll be somewhere in the world
Running from someone else

So just forget me
I'm already gone.

[The Mirror Emperor]

On a night alone with no one there
I think no one likes me and that no one cares
I'm sick of rejection, the pain and all that halts
all that's bliss and I think it's my fault
I press the barrel to my head and pull the trigger
No one would even care or notice, I figure
Vanished from the world and all because
I thought no one cared who I was.

[Cloud Strife]

"I can only imagine"

I can only imagine?
Is that all I can do?
Just stand here, look pretty,
Be gift wrapped for you?

I can only imagine,
That you must be thinking, how?
I can only imagine,
What you're asking yourself now.

Can all I do be just for you?
Or am I some big show?
Do you just want me to forget,
Or will you let me know?

You can only imagine,
How the regret within me now grows.
You can only imagine,
Just how much your silence is a blow.

Leave me for dead, give up on me,
I'm torn between two worlds.
Leave me alone, you'll not regret,
For when this all unfurls

All that I thought was true
Was nothing but a dream.
The reailty I held so dear
Is now tearing at the seams.

I can only imagine,
Just where my choice will lead.
I can only hope, as I go on,
That I'll help the one in need...

[Dante]

She said she'd be gone for an hour. It was closer to three.
I asked her to tell before she went but she silently left me.
Now I sit and angst and hurt and wonder if it's real.
Because all I truly know right now is the emptiness I feel.

[Cloud Strife]

Your eyes meet mine in warm embrace,
Showing our love for each other.
Our smiles grow wider; we realize
that our love is most pure.

And here I am now, in your arms,
And you are safe in mine.
We sigh together, happily,
Content to be here with each other.
