Been away for quite a while, due to matters in my personal life, however i'm back now, with a few more poems...please read and critique them if you want to...

To Nic

The lesser mortals sit and weep,
And long to pass away in sleep,
The pool of tears is far too deep,
But one day you’ll fly away


[Moment in time

Dark room, with the flicker of the screen,
Sound turned low, quiet whispers.
The faintest rustling of fabric,
Sliding arms about me,
Into warm seas of a comforting embrace.
Soft breath on my hair, my eyelids heavy with sleep,
You hold me as i sink deeper.
A moment shared, a moment remembered

War Child

The room is filled with mournful sighing,
Her only companions, the dead and the dying,
She covers her ears to drown out the crying,
But it still echoes in her head.

Along with explosions and machine gun fire,
She’s screaming and screaming as war rages higher,
she thinks that she lacks the courage required,
But it’s there deep in her heart

Wow, they're really beautiful. You either have a great talent or a gift. They really touch the heart of the matter and show raw emotions. I like!

Thoughts of Vampires...

Silent as the grave

So cold I feel my coffin calling,
Lips as silent as the grave,
Fingers scrabbling to stop my falling,
Because I know I won't be saved

Watch the surface of the water,
Wait for the bubbles to finally stop,
I stand here damned, death's own daughter,
From the flame shall rise a monsterous crop

The prophet's role is not mine,
I'll murder them along with the rest,
I struggle, bound by immortal vine,
There's no point hoping for the best

EEK! These seems to be getting kinda angsty...well..lonliness now...just feeling very...well, alone really...please tell me what you think

Thoughts of other lonley days,
Staring at a screen,
The more that i think about it,
The more that it seems,
That I really shouldn’t be here,
I want out of my life,
So please let me out of here,
Just give me some light,
Keyboard clicks, pictures flash,
Mind melting into air,
Just look in the most obvious place,
You know that I’ll be there

I look at pictures of their hands,
Longing for their touch,
Someone to just listen,
Is that asking too much?
Look at yellowed pages,
Wishing it was true,
I know no one will reach to me,
I’m only words to you

I crave the heart-stopping power,
Of long awaited love,
A lighting bolt to strike me,
Something from above?
To block out long dead faces,
To shield me from their threats,
I know they’re only nightmares,
And i’m not defeated yet,
The road is long and arduous,
Whipped by life’s cold breeze,
But i’ll go if i’ve a companion,
Is there someone out there...Please?
