Painless Love

Can love exist without pain?
Does anyone love without thought of personal gain?
Will love between two people last?
Is it possible to overcome pain from the past?

a million shards of glass
imbedded in a bleeding heart
is it too late to start?

A heart left bleeding heals
Painless love, are you real?
As two hearts reach beyond the stars
a love purer then ours
blooms in the memory of lore
where romances of old sleep remembering our past
holding our future here at last
there our hearts dance forever more
on a silver sea with endless shore


I wrote this about my fiance when we first fell in love.

"A Pixie's Pleasure"

Delicate and dark lashes dampened
A tiny nose wrinkling wetly
Hands held out and holding drops of rain
Giggling heard throughout the dreams


With a flutter of wings she flew
Leaving the tiny tulip of a seat behind
She wove a crossing line through the leaves
Laughter passing into visions


She dove down over the pond's surface
Emerald eyes brightening and smile forming
A quick wink and a titter and off she sped
Snickers sounding to sleeping ears


This was her world, this was her freedom
Here she danced in dreams and loved in life
Here she was she and joyed
This is where emerald eyes beamed


This is the dream world...

A childs dream

If walls could talk
if streets would speak
you would hear so many things.

You would hear a child laugh
you could hear a childs dream
you would hear a childs hope

As a child grows and learns
the hope has become a tender flame
that burns so low and slow

The dreams they are put away
they are so deep inside they are forgotton
but not lost

The voice a childs laughter
becomes the words of a man
and the tears of a woman

If walls could talk
if streets would speak
we would remember all that was said

our world would be at peace
our world could have a childs love again
our world would be a childs dream.

Wind of Souls


The wind blows through the branches
of a cold, dead tree.
The wind screams out its pain into the night
for all to hear its misery.
And on this wind
all souls ride
when Heaven won't take them in--
and on this wind
my soul shall ride
until the screaming dies.

Written in my little angsty stage in high school, but I like it.

This is an untitled Halloween Story I wrote for English 10 my senior year. I've gotten quite a few good responses from it so I'm gonna go ahead and post it here.


A dark alley could be seen before her, how she got here was beyond her. All she knew was a dark hunger that she felt. A hunger she had never felt before but she knew it all too well. A young man was walking toward her from the other end of the alley with a murderous glint in his eye. But she had the upper hand; she had already decided he would be the one to satisfy her hunger. With and inhuman leap she was upon him and it was over all too soon. She stood up over her latest meal licking what she could off of her fingers.

Hearing footsteps behind her she turned to see a man in a long red coat. He had a rather large grin on his face as he pulled out a large gun from a pocket on the inside of his coat. She could barely think as he pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger.
The last thing she saw was his still grinning face.

Melusine woke in a cold sweat. That nightmare seemed all too real before her. She was grateful when it quickly faded from memory. But a piece still lingered, the grin of a gun-wielding maniac in a red coat. She shivered at the thought of it and went downstairs to the kitchen.

The morning went by rather slowly with a bowl of frosted flakes and Saturday morning cartoons. Her parents were gone for the week and weren’t returning until next Sunday. Which gave her the house to herself.

She went up stairs to clean her room, her goal for this week. By the time she was done with most of her room it was already dusk. Taking the dirty laundry downstairs she walked into the cold room that held the washing machine and dryer. Opening the washing machine she saw there was some clothing in there already, which there shouldn’t be. Pulling it out she saw it was the clothing she wore yesterday, but they were stained with blood. She remembered some of last nights nightmare and in horror dropped the shirt and pants. Looking at her hand’s she noticed some of the blood, still wet, had rubbed of onto her hands.

In a frantic rush she ran to the kitchen to wash her hands but when she turned on the faucet the water ran red. The doorbell rang but she didn’t hear it. She wanted to just run away and pray that she was dreaming. Melusine ran into the living room and collapsed on the couch her insanity wanting her to sleep.

The front door burst open and in stepped the man in the red coat. Melusine slowly looked over the couch and saw him looking in the living room.

“It took quite a while to find you… You haven’t fully awakened yet which is why you were able to escape so easily last night. But I have found your body and you can’t get away this time.” His grin never left his face but proceeded to get wider.

“What do you want with me?” she shouted. The man stepped closer, “It’s nothing personal, but I have a sworn duty to rid the world of vampires. And you just happen to be one.” He reached into his coat and pulled out the same silver gun from before. “I hate to ruin this little conversation but its time to say goodnight.”

Melusine watched in horror as he lowered the gun at her head and pulled the trigger.

I wrote this when I was 14 but it has always been close to my heart.


When Time is Lost

I heard it in the wind
I saw it in the rain
I felt it in the thunder as it roard across the Plain

in my hear I knew it
and the tears beat down my face like rain

in my minde it was clear as day
and my heart felt like it would shatter

I heard it in your voice
I saw it in you eyes
I felt it in your embrace
and I knew it when you spoke my name

I knew there was unspeakable pain
pain you tried to hide
a loss so great it haunts your dreams
I know it tares you up inside

you are my friend so let me help you
you are my friend so let me guide you
you are my friend so let me be here for you

you hear things I can not hear
you see things I can only dream of
you feel things I will never feel

So tell me of your pain, let me hear.
Show me what you know, so I can see.
let me feel whats in your heart, so I can feel.

You walk upon the sand
you look upon the tide
you hear the dolphins play

your laughter fills the room
and your eyes shine like stars
and then you remember that day
of long ago and the pain returns

I walk upon the ground
I watch the egals fly
I listen to the trees

My laughter only a whisper
my eyes twinkel like that of a candle
and then I try to remember that day of long ago

I wonder where time has gone
and how the days have passed unnoticed
longing to be with you again and my heart
begins to break like waves upon the coral rocks
and winds upon the mountain clif tops

you have gone to heaven now and
i have found your box of treasures
old photographs and jewls
pictures and letters drawn and written
I thought thoes things had been long forgotten

and I lift my face toward heaven and I call out..
Mother I remember!

But time is gone and you are gone
so i turn to my daughter my child and I tell her I love her

So time will not pass us and the days will not leave us unnoticed.

I heard it in the wind
I saw it in the rain
I felt it in the thunder as it roard across the plain.
the end.

I love everything you all have writen. Here is another one of mine.
