[Dark Phoenix Rising]

Through your people your heart is mine
and it will be for all time

Till you take the taste of blood
and mix it deep within the mud

then your heart it will be free
but then your soul will belong to me

So listen now and listen well
to the tolling of this bell

When in shadow your feet are lost
That is when I shall claim my cost

To take your life for mine it be
10,000 years you'll serve for me

and then your heart I'll let you own
And your soul to keep you've won

And never more i'll call you'll see
your debt is paid, so mote it be

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

When the sun rises in the west
that's when he will place his test

A test to see who will die
and who will live past this lie

those that follow those that pass
will gain the life that never lasts

Those that fail and those that don't
will suffer the fate of those that won't

to live to see another day
This they'll wish and wish they may

for death comes for those that did not flee
a dreadful keening on their knee

when sorrow breaks and gone at last
The world will heal at long last

And one day soon so mote it be
the survivors will return to thee

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

People come and people go
But still I find it's you I know

to the east and to the west
Heres to he who knows best

To dry up this flood of tears
to comfort now these weary ears

for one to shine anew once more
if just for an hour or more

Peoples hurt and peoples hate
he will take and so to wait

for the one that's strong and true
to find the way into her hew

and dance around and round they go
all throughout the mistletoe

and then for now they turn to sleep
so that this time, safe they keep

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

In the window or in the door
They invite you in to see more

To join them in their merry fun
with the feeling be undone

to love and laugh it is they know
what you need to grow and grow

for one is all and all are one
who's to know this merry sum

while some may come and some may go
all is one and this they know

through hate and lies strike all you see
it's love and laughter that shall be

all that sorrow turns through thee
a love that's true and pure, you'll see

for all that glitters is not gold
the time is now to break your mold

to see the world anew once more
and listen now the world of yore

see the world and dance it's tune
and live again the merry moon

your love and life for all to see
who is it now my queen to be

[janggut]

really nice ones, DL! the first one - is it insipired by a book/film/game? sound so RPG-ish. that fantasy feel to it.

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

in nearly all cases the poems came to me, rather than me thinking of them. The one in question came to me while I was on the bus home from work.

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

What once was done and now we go
to dance amongst the mistletoe

We spin and dance and round we go
Dancing through the mistletoe

Though one was lost throughout us found
that we call the beauty sound

To dance and sing for everything
who's love and laughter goes within

So in the hollow we may go
Singing through the mistletoe

for one's poor trouble so we sing
To calm the troubled soul within

And then they join us through and through
and so our dance begins anew

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

for the time and so you see
what this life it means to me

to see her there upon the floor
gone to sleep an hour or more

When the tears roll down her cheeks
That's when I no longer speak

Instead I hold her in my arms
until she comes back to her calm

And when she laughs, then i know
Why i love her deeply so

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

Just keep on going and pull on through
And see the world in it's silver hew

And go on to join the golden dance
In and out the woods they prance

To heal you when your heart stays true
and hold you when you're feeling blue

The love and laughter that they make
They bid to you to hold and take

and so inside you feel the fun
and thus it is your healing done

and thus it is her will is done
the lady's grace has saved someone

---

edit: make and kame have the same letters
and there is one letter difference between fan and fun

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

If roses are red and violets are blue
then my heart can belong to you

to turn the dusk into the dawn
and once again your heart it warm

to wake beside you in the morn
and watch you sleep so safe and warm

to hold you close and cuddle tight
and keep you safe throughout the night

DragonLord, the poems are great. I really enjoyed reading them.

I like all of them but especially "People come and people go" and "Just keep on going."

Thank you so much for sharing them.

When a poem comes to you, do you write it down immediately or does it stay with you until you do?

Shan

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

Thankyou for the complements. When a poem comes to me I usually have to write it down straight away, otherwise it goes (not been carrying a notepad recently so no new poems). However sometimes I can trigger it by coming up with a rhymning couplet and then letting myself carry it on.

One thing is certian though, I can't really steer the poems once they've started, otherwise they come out wrong.

P.S. I apoligise for the edits, but my handwriting can be a little awkward to read and so I'm spotting transcription mistakes.

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

I would be intrested to know what those 2 poems say to you.

[Shan]

I didn't have time to answer you before we left, DragonLord.
Now that we are back though, I will try to get you an answer posted this week.
