Abandoned Heart- Unrequited Love She walked along an empty street; The darkness of night blanketing her soul. Left destitute and depleted. Once full of life; A heart that beat strong With passionate love, Was now barren. Exhausted, from the existence Of a tragic romance. She bestowed every depth of her being; Extending her hand- Finding an unanswered reply. Her love overflowed Into a vacant wasteland of idle words. Foolishness, Foolishness She cries; To give herself away To an idle n’ inexpressible rendezvous. Intimacy proved- Fruitless, Temporary, Forgotten After the door shut behind him. So, her heart bleeds With every abandoned step; Mixing with the tears Of unrequited Love. Twisted Mind Of The Raven I feel you lurking around every corner Spinning your twisted mind’s reel Thoughts consuming only, you Though perceived by those affected By your ravenous selfish words. You are the Raven, and I bid you flight To torment only your own soul I pray not for another to be trapped By your luring words full of untruth. Fly into the depths of your created cloud So dark where no other is harmed by your claws That dig deep into vulnerable kind souls Giving light from the One who made it so On the first created day of seven, In which He was pleased, to perceive as “good” Good you are not, but blackness surrounds Staining your being with all that is unpleasant So, I declare, to you, black Raven Return to your home, you created below. Angel Of The Night She lights up the darkness With her melody. The barren surroundings Await her grace, And longs.... For her music in the night. Her being lingers with each delicate step Purposed, though unplanned Through the ravenous forest, Casting a night glow upon the path. A brilliant glimmer of incandescent light, Aluminates tiny flowers Like the finest diamonds. She is a creature of comfort Between the setting And the rising Of the sun. Providing peacefulness During the black clouds At midnight. A hope when perception It is obscure. Her melody Is filled With solace compassion, Bringing repose to the torment Of the surrounding darkness. She is the radiant angel of the night… May the heavenly light, which burns from within, Always illuminate your path. Brightening the beauty which surrounds you Providing comfort for your soul, Upon the darkest paths. When the light shines through, From the rising sun, Or blankets the ground, With hues of golden orange arrays, May your steps be firm. Stride with confidence; traversing the journey With everlasting hope. Blanketed in serenity and peace, Knowing God is there, Guiding your way. Illuminating clarity When your path becomes obscure. Making visible, your direction, On a cloudy day.
