The Dark Side

The darkness wraps around me 

Like a lovers embrace 

Cool fall nights bring me to life
 
I follow La Luna
 
For she always guides me
 
Let me take you to my hidden place
 
Let me lay my lips upon yours
 
Let's exchange words
 
Passion filled words -
 
that carry along with the wind
 
I am a woman of the night
 
Goddess of the shadows

"Worlds Collide"

Insides on fire

Burning alive 

Mind in shock

No words

Just flashes 

Images of pain

I feel it all

Floods of emotion

Breaking me down

Helpless

A suffocating black hole of nothing

No wings here to fly away

No rope to climb out

Just whirling thoughts 

And time

Everything in slow motion

No feelings 

Too many feelings

Screaming on the inside

Eyes of detachment

Distant from the world

The darkness creeps in 

And then the silence comes

(c) 2013 Mended View


"Invaded" 

Vacant feeling

Crawling 

Scratching

Clawing

Just to live

Hard to breathe

Harder to move

Functioning takes everything

Mind invaded

Thoughts not my own

You put them there

Now you're in my head

Swirling around

Bringing your damage

Destruction everywhere 

I silently scream

Wondering when it will end

When I will be free of you

"Isolated" (Revised)

Standing here in a crowd,
I look around
At everyone who I love
And of whom I am proud

Yet, I feel very alone,
As I see
Others talking to everyone else,
But just not to me,

And as I am stuck, here,
With another
Who is arguing, now.
On illogical matter.

I face her, disbelieving
That she’s arguing
Instead of enjoying
Other people’s company.

But yet, she continues.
So, I sigh,
And think of going away.
I got to leave, tonight.

My mind shuts it all out
And I walk
From the house and from the
Negative noise and talk.

But, I feel my arm tugged.
So, I turn
And see that it's her.
She just won’t seem to learn!

My mind then escapes to
The thought of
The quiet, calm, nice beach
As her yelling’s too rough.

And as she yells at me
In her fight,
I realise peace won't be
On this chaotic night.

If I could just get away
From it all.

 "Try" (revised, again)

I try so hard...
To get over you.
But your image just keeps
Flashing Through,
No matter what I do.

There seems to be no way
To get rid of you
(your image still plays
In my memory
In sexual dreams of you)

And I don’t know why
I can’t get over you.
But, my mind and heart
For some reason
Just refuse to.

Schedules don’t allow
For us to be together.
So, it feels like we’re apart,
Even as you talk to me.
Want us to be forever.

But if this can’t be,
Then I don’t want memories
Nor the dreams
Cus they are just teasers
Of what will not be.

Poetic Expressions

The Mysteries of Love ~ By Drake Desire ~

As the night falls
The darkness comes
The bitter coldness creeping in
The light of love holding it back
The feeling of warmth surrounding in
The path is lit for the journey down the long road
The way ahead is uncertain
The love is strong and will grow
They to grow strong with each other
The new day is next filled with mystery and wonder
What will it hold where will it go
No one knows but them as they walk the path of the mysteries of love

"Night" (version 2) Author: April Morone

I'm here in the night.
The darkness, intoxicating.
I stir from the feel of it
And from the feel of
You against me

As you pull me close
And your hands roam over me
In the cool night air,
Which sends waves of electricity
Through me.

I then feel your kiss
And I get closer, and
You take my cue
And disconnect to undress us,
Then lay us down on the cool beach sand

I breathe deep
In a breathe of cool air
And take in all of you
As you lay yourself on me,
All my senses aware

Of you
And of the night.

mabel's 10th birthday shel c.7.26.2013

sadness, for all of
it.
for all of us, each
wedged within
our own
compartments. separate

from one

and other,

together only
in the experience
of our isolation. 

ILLUSION.

we are united
in our practice of
illusion.
bound by love. 
and
dis-ease.
in stead of flow.
live confined?
versus grow...
reality is union
and i will know
TRUTH... one fine day, i will know, I AM

Try By Cerywyn Pagana

I try so hard

To get over you.

But your image just keeps

Flashing Through,

No matter what I do.

There seems to be no way

To get rid of you

(your image still plays

In my memory

In sexual dreams of you)

And I don’t know why

I can’t get over you.

But, my mind and heart

For some reason

Just refuse to.

Schedules don’t allow

For us to still be together.

So, it feels like we’re apart,

Even as you talk to me.

Want this to be forever [of us].

But if this can’t be,

Then I don’t want the memories

And I don’t want the dreams

Cus they are just teasers of

What can’t truly be.

"Unwanted" By Cerywyn Pagana 2013 

Stop that, now!
Maybe you should get away.
This isn't how
This is supposed to be-
This isn't okay.

The way you touch me.
The way you stand too close.
The way that you hug too long
And too tightly
Makes crossing that line harder to oppose.

Step away!
It shouldn't be this way
Because we are friends.
Don't want to be turned on-
Not by you, today.

Please step away!
Your body’s closeness tempts me.
Give me some space.
My body’s afire from your touch.
I Need room to breathe.

Please don’t make it harder
Than it already is.
Want our friendship to be
How it was, before,
Of no complications like this.


"Tired" By Cerywyn Pagana 2013

I lie my head
Against the wall.
Just so tired
From it all.

I start to cry,
My tears come down like rain
And mix with the water that goes
Down the shower drain.

I shake my head in disbelief
Not wanting to accept this situation.
I need relief
And no more complications.

And I need you here.
I’m just so tired,
Could use some cheerfulness
That you have somehow acquired.

I think on you
As I get set up for the day
To write my poems
That you inspire, every day.

And I sit down
At my computer
To type this poem
While I think of you, here.

And I remind myself
Of what you always say
Of that it will be alright,
So I can continue through another day,

As I work on this poem
Until it is finished.
Then, I grab some caffeine
Of a supply that’s nearly diminished.

And I continue on.

 The Darkness
By Drake Desire

As I disappear in to the darkness.

The cold surrounds me,
The bitterness sets in
The light becomes dim
The day is gone
The night has come
The emptiness swallows me whole
The darkness fill me in
The pain of the day

Fades way to the cold of the night
Lay there in the darkness begging for sleep
Nay sleep never comes

I toss and I turn
I close my eyes to the night
I open my ears to the sounds
I fell nothing but stillness
I ache from the trials of the day
I moan from the pain
I ache
I ache

Where will the suffering stop
When will the happiness come

How will I know it when I see
How will it come

I lay in wait
I lay in darkness

Waiting for something
Waiting for the new day

"Unwanted" Author: April Morone

Stop that, now
Maybe you should get away
This isn't how
This is supposed to be-
This isn't okay

The way that you touch me,
The way you stand a bit too close,
The way that you hug too long
And a bit too tightly
Makes crossing that line harder to oppose

Step away!
It shouldn't be this way-
We're just too close.
Don't want to be turned on,
Not by you, today.

It's safer away.
But if ready for more
Than just give that okay-
Let me know your intentions, Please
I implore.

"Meld" Author: April Morone
Date, written: May 21rst, 2013

I feel your arms
Wrap around my body
From behind me
As you wrap me in a hug,
Silently.

I lean back into you,
Relish your sweet embrace,
Feel your chest against my back,
And feel your cheek
Rub against my face.

And I breathe, deeply,
At the same time as you,
Then play my fingers along your skin
As you do on mine,
Too.

So, I turn to you
And take in the sight of you
As you look down on me
With a soft look of love
And of yearning, too.

And I realise, now,
That I don't want this to end
As I look at you,
Because seeing how you look at me
Shows that this love is true.

So, I take you in my arms,
Lovingly, too,
And meld with you
As I give myself
Completely to you.

The Battlefield of Life
By Drake Desire

A small poem about the everyday war of life

The day is dark and gloomy as
I walk through the battlefield covered in blood.
I look around on all the
fallen warriors who have fought the battle of life.

Warriors with nothing to show for
their tireless fighting but their limbs
being severed from their bodies from
the sharpened swords of their enemies.

I see young men that never had a chance
to lead a full life lying in a mass of death.

I continue on through the field of blood.

I look up from the torn and battered bodies,
I see an image of a warrior.

The image becomes more defined as I approach it.

The figure is of the Angel of Death in his blackened armor.

Standing atop of a small hill of the fallen warriors'
souls that he has taken that day.

As I continue to approach the Warrior of Death
I draw my sword and prepare for battle.

The angel draws his jagged and bloody blade from its sheath of darkness.

He starts to move towards me and swings his sword.

His darkness misses me and it is a fatal error.

I swing my sword and strike the Angel of Death to the ground.

I have become victorious, and my life is to keep for another day.

As his body hits the ground light breaks through the darkness.

I then wake from the long and dark night.
