Love Through the Year

You're the Spring in my step,
My Summer Sun.
The cool, refreshing Autumn breeze,
A perfect snowflake, Winter's only one.

Throughout the year, I see and hear,
Whether bad, or weather clear,
You're everywhere I stop and stare.
Times may be bad, but I don't care.

From a warm and calming ocean breeze,
To the crisp and pure December freeze,
In multi-colored October trees,
On the wings of April's honeybees.

In the June, July and August heat,
My heart can't afford to skip a beat,
But your warming presence is in the air.
Whenever I feel it, I know you're there.

From hectic September to chilly November,
Your calming aura helps me remember
Every one of my memories
Of your flawless voice's melodies.

December through February coat the world in white,
Creating a beauty that's out of sight.
It reminds me of your radiant glow,
Purer than anything I'll ever know.

March, April and May fill the planet with birth,
Inciting within me giddy joy and mirth.
I see in the flowers your cheery complexion,
And spend hours dreaming of your perfection.

Throughout the year, I see and hear,
Whether bad, or weather clear,
In nature, I cannot cease to see
What, forever, you are to me.

"Thunder"

Thunder! It booms,
Overhead, overhead.
Run now! I hear,
We are dead, we are dead.

More thunder! Explodes,
Rips holes in the night.
Lightning! I see it,
Lighting our fight.

Boom! It's relentless,
Pounding, pounding.
Cutting down the allied ranks,
Resounding, resounding.

Exploding! It echoes,
Across the canyon of darkness.
Stealing men's lives,
It wants nothing less.

Thunder! I hear it,
Destroying my soul.
Lightning! I see it,
The rising death toll.

"Angels of Night"

We are the Angels of the night,
Blood-thirsty Angels,
Angels who have killed and kill,
Black-winged and feared.

Angels of the black night sky,
Angels killing and killed,
We can control a person's soul
And mind.

We are the darker Angels,
Angels with power over man
And woman.
With black wings, and cursed.

"A Lonely Man's Love Letter"

I long for you when I'm away,
At work, at home, in night or day.
I want to see you one more time,
To be exposed to you, sublime.

I spend long hours thinking of you,
And all the things you've made me do.
You are all I want to hold,
Whether you feel warm, or cold.

I dream of feeling your curves, so smooth,
And lifting you to me, your memory soothes.
I'll kiss you again on your lips and be
Refreshed by the breath you breathe into me.

I could spend all day wiping sweat from your neck,
As you keep me from becoming a useless wreck.
Solely your existence has given me meaning,
You spend time with me, whenever I'm needing.

I'll sit down again with you before me now,
And wonder why, and wonder how,
My hand is wrapped around your throat,
You feel so cold, is this what I've wrote?

You are, forever, far away or near,
My true love, my bottle of beer.

"Regret"

Every time I turn my face,
I feel the stinging of your hand.
I hurt you so, and now you've gone;
You knew I'd never understand.

Another night I sit alone,
Still thinking of that rainy day.
I can't believe I did so much,
So roughly it pushed you away.

This heavy heart I have to hold
Is killing me with every breath.
I had to hurt your healing hands.
I swear I'll love you till my death,
If you'll come back to me.

"A Christmas Card for You"

It's hard to be perfect,
But you do it oh so well.
You're pretty, you're modest,
You know it but won't tell.

Beauty deserves beauty,
Something just like you.
So with that I went hunting
For a gift of beauty true.

I searched the mall, the store, the globe
For what a goddess just might want,
Until I realized with great dread...

There's nothing nearly good enough
On this Earth for you.
So come with me and spend my money -
Do anything you want to do.

"A Girl, a Smile, and a Rose"

I came upon a marvelous sight as I was walking down the road,
A lovely looking girl, cuter than any story ever told
could hope to have between its covers, and all of what I see,
A girl, a smile, a bright red rose, all as perfect as can be.

There must be something of that rose to have her show such care,
Some perfume or some aura that could keep her sitting there.
She doesn't seem to see me watching, does she even know I'm here?
If I call to her, she'd run away, she's shy to me I fear.

From afar I watch her twirl the flower in her gentle hands,
Gazing as she dreams of queens and magic in fantastic lands,
Somewhere she can hope to go to leave the pain of life behind
And maybe take me too, to leave me here would be just too unkind.

I look upon her more and think some plan has been already made
To go and take a step away from all the games that life has played,
Escape into that peaceful place she knew awaited her beyond
The limits of a dingy town with weed-filled parks and a dirty pond.

She sits within the border of the only pure life known for miles,
Enjoying all the time she can, ignoring all of life's hard trials.
A moment seems to last for days as on the flower bed she waits,
Knowing that soon she'll return to life and all the things she hates.

Maybe if I talk to her she could avoid her dull life longer.
We could start and never stop, our magic world would grow still stronger.
Suddenly I notice in her smile there's a bit of grief,
It pains my heart to know that I could offer her relief.

I wish I wasn't such a fool to see her longing for a friend,
I'd go and be the best she's known, inseparable until the end.
There's just no way to know how she'd react without me acting first,
But I feared more rejection's sting, a pain in which I am well versed.

It makes no difference now, I know,
What could have changed had I just chose
To go and introduce myself to her,
The girl with the nicest smile.
The girl who now I visit alone,
Her name carved into her gravestone.
My last memory of her remains,
A girl, her smile, and a bright red rose.
