Silver swiftness
Flies through the sky
Silver shadow
I watch you die.
Hidden from our mortal sight
Only seen through dreams eye
Wary and mindful
Fear turns to shy.
Cool as the full moon's shine
Majesty magic wisdom
Fair as the suns new dawn
Where is your hidden kingdom?
Coat so soft and silky
Silver with a heart of gold
Wings of great magnitude
Ageless young and old.
Wings bold and graceful
Feather's sharp and straight
Great peaceful winds
Calming breathe as they create.
Hooves a deep night black
Silent is their gait
No less power do they lack
Lead you on, meet your fate.
Silver thorn atop your head
It's desired in the hearts of all
The key to your wisdom?
The key to your downfall.
Love for you
Such have I
Cherish wish seek
Search for where your lairs lie.
Warn you of your fate
Save such a beloved life
Stop the arrows to your heart
Or the double edged knife.
But whats done is done
The past gone by
You are there somewhere
And still I serach for where you lairs lie.
Or is all that is left
Is oone with no horn?
Diminished in wisdom
Horse onece Unicorn
The raindrops had stopped falling on that cool summers day
The sun was thawing the clouds away
When suddenly from behind the rainbow in a silvery haze
I stared in awe; couldnt help but gaze.
Something magnificent in gentle flight
Came drifting down like snow in the night
Something magical with eyes shining bright
With a sturdy horn and a mane of pure white.
I gazed at this vision or was it a dream
Was it a Unicorn, could it have been?
A mythial creature we've all heard of
The creature of hope and treu love.
Bringing some hope to my lonely heart
Trying to mend the faith that had fallen apart
I reached out to touch its beautiful face
Longing to take it in a loving embrace.
The eyes of the Unicorn met mine for a moment in time
The message was clear the creature was mine
To walk beside me on those long lonely days
To help me understand it's magical ways.
I had found a friend who would always be near
In times of sorrow, loss and fear
I carry this vision close to my heart
My love for my unicorn will never part.
It will walk beside me till the day
That special someone comes my way
Then my unicorn and I will have to part
The Unicorn will have to find another lonely heart.
Someone who needs a symbol of hope by their side
Someone to chase away the evil tide
Someone to bring back faith that is lost
Someone to chase away the frost.
Unicorn please never forget me
When the raindrops stop falling
And the sun thaws the clouds away
Because my Unicorn I might need you someday
To chase sorrow and despair away.
The soft winds blow around the trees
The soft moonlight aglow the land
Sets shadows all upon my hand
And amber glow of twilight peace
Releases me into a place of sunshine bright
And of willow frights
But for all the beauty of thy lands
Nothing more will dazel me
Then to see beyond the hills
Beyond the trees
Beyond the lakes and beyond the thorns
And look into the eyes of a beautiful white Unicorn
With eyes a shutter and nearly faint
I feel no fear within this embrace
The light glows bright and my fears grow dim
To see the Unicorn come prancing in
Her mane is twirled by the whispering winds
Her tail is feathered by glows a bright
For stepby step I hear no pound
For feet so gracefully never touch the ground
The sun above the grassy plains
Sets glitters to the golden horn
And eyes of blue shine like stars
The whisper of a horses neigh
Is more that of an angels play
No mortal hands shall embrace
The warmth of love
Of gods own grace
Her coat glows white
As that of a ghostly fright
But no fear do I feel
In this time that fear is pale
Closer and closer oh how she comes
But oh how a touch would fail
Closer she comes and stops at my feet
"Come my dear boy, the time has come to meet your fate"
She whispers these words so softly in my ear
And I rise to my feet as the words continue to repeat
"Come my dear boy, the time has come to meet your fate"
Oh how I wonder what does she mean
Can this be real can this be true
Or is this a dream
A tear in her eyes falls to the ground
"I, am my dear that you had to drown
You were quite brave my boy
To show not a frown"
The Unicorn looks down and gives me a smile
"Come now the time grows near and we must leave"
Leave I say where to and why
For my life is over am meant to die
No words answered but a smile of serene
Nothing to fear for the light has become dim.
"Now hurry my friend for we must leave
Times for play are to be put to rest"
And side by side we leave the land
The land of the living the land of the dead
The land of the secret and untold dreads
The soft winds blow around the trees
the soft moonlight aglow the land
Sets shadows all upon my hand
And amber glow of twilight peace
Releases me into a place of sunshine bright
And of willow frights
In the deep forest
Lying under the trees
Is the dragon who sits in grass to his knees
Also there lies the fairy dwarf and elf
All there to gaze upon her magnificent self
She lies in a patch of sunlight grass green
And around her, animals they kreen
For she is all knowing, beautiful and wise
And kindness sparkles in the depths of her eyes
She is the Unicorn
Lovely and fair
As the breeze blows it ruffles her hair
Her fellows of magic gathered beside her
And the fiar young maidens to giude her
She shall conquer the darkness of all who defy her
And so the sun sets
And then the moonrise
And all is well
As stars shine in here eyes
Soft tendrils of a silver mane
Brilliant blue eyes glistning like rian
A touch of the softest of white
a wondrous coat shining so bright
A spiraling horn entwined with gold
a gentle being that shall never grow old
She prances within a moonlit glade
Then among the tiny sprites she lay
The purist of souls this being owns
Always understands never condones
A heart so gentle a love so strong
She is the one who will never go wrong
A creature of hope, a heavenly sight
This beast this pure being of light
She is the one with the golden horn
She is the very last Unicorn
I wait
will I always be alone?
The last of my kind?
Are they all dead?
Dead and gone I know
I know
Thought I wish it were not so
Now that none believe
What now?
Do I hide away in secret?
Do I pine to death for my kin?
I greive
But what more can I do?
Hunted into near-extinction
I,
The last of my people
The last of the Unicorns
I feel so
Lost
Magic could take me away
To a world that would appreciate
My strange beauty
But dare I go?
For the last few that DO believe
Could I leave them?
I wait
For answers
For guidance
I wait,
The last of my kind
I wait
Alone.
In mythical legend they stand alone
The most majestic creatures i've ever known
Never sighted they fly high above
Full of passion magic grace and love
A heart of silver precious and pure
No human can touch them, they can be sure
For they have wings which wisk them away
To a far secret land where only they stay
A white mane embedded with tails
Of faries adventures and heroic males
Stories all entrusted to this marvellous creature
Your thoughts and secrets it will never feature
A horn which has more meaning then gold
It could never be stolen auctioned or sold
For it is for the one and only unicorn
Its magical gift given when born
A Unicorns death happenes every day
From myths and legends we all stray
Only in old dusty books is this animal alive
Without imagination it will not survive
My pride is like a castle in the sand
Washed away by hope and need and pain.
You left me holding someone else's hand,
And now you stand alone in midnight rain.
I want you back again if you want me;
I'm ready to rebuild what we have lost,
As the owner of a dream swept out to sea
Builds back upon the beach despite the cost.
My love for you is stronger than the waves,
Stronger than the doubts that we may share;
If you will say the word that my heart craves,
I'll find some flowered field and take you there.
And Time will sweep this interlude away;
It will barely be a memory someday.
A marriage celebrates a new beginning:
A couple starting out as man and wife.
A shower celebrates a happy ending:
The last days of our single life.
The wide world now has narrowed to a garden
In which our pleasures plant and reap.
The outlines of our characters will harden
According to the promises we keep.
Our joy will soon become a melody
In counterpoint to those for whom we care,
Seeking a profounder harmony
Than any we alone could know or bear.
So shall we find a greater grace within.
One life is over: Let the new begin!
Given angel's wings, where might you fly?
In what sweet heaven might you find your love?
Unwilling to be bound, where might you move,
Lost between the wonder and the why?
If you were but a flame of pure desire,
A light so lovely you could not be seen,
Near mad with yearning, yet somehow serene,
And that were all, what more might you require?
Charlie is my golden, longhaired sin.
His eyes tell all his dark brown chocolate thoughts.
All he wants is loving without end,
Ravenous for touching of all sorts.
Left on his own, he cannot comprehend
In lonely misery how I defend
Even just one breath away from him.
Tiffany is tough, like a diamond bit:
Intense, sharp, witty, penetrating.
For her the earth presents a stony face,
Formidable, yet touched by wily grace
Accessible to those who echo it.
Not likely will you find her meditating,
Yet for her trials, she's admirably fit.
Truth is rarely an expression of love:
Honesty most often precedes pain.
In hope there is the fragrance of illusion;
Romance requires the charm of light confusion;
The best lovers are criminally insane.
Yet lies, eventually, will suck out passion.
One must be truthful if one hopes to love:
Not cruelly, but enough to ease delusion.
Each love must be broken, then built back again.
Happiness is not a tended rose
Amid the prescient beauty of a garden:
Perhaps one senses soon some gate may close;
Perhaps one senses soon the earth will harden.
Years come and go like waves upon a shore,
Violent or peaceful with the wind.
After one has given up on more,
Love waits within the heart, its passion thinned.
Even in a passage void of light,
Nether windings black with rage and grief,
There are waters sweet with lost delight
In which one finds a strong, serene belief.
No happiness can overcome life's pain
Except one love, and love give life again.
Blessings are the things we take for granted.
Each holiday we notice what we see.
Most know the Earth is utterly enchanted
Yet walk through life and love mechanically.
Valuing one's gifts takes resolution
After days and nights of fantasy.
Love brings the sweet relief of absolution,
Enveloping our hesitance in need.
No touch inspires so swift a revolution,
Transforming all the hieroglyphs we read.
In your love is the charity of spring,
Neither self-obsessed nor blinded by some creed,
Embracing the grey dawns that blessings bring.
How can I say what is too much for words?
A rainbow cannot fit into my heart.
Perhaps we should be musical as birds
Perched singing of our love with practiced art.
You cannot taste my happiness, or feel
A little of the chill of your caress.
No word or metaphor can make it real,
Nor song contain the truth I would express.
In my love there are mountains miles high,
Valleys rainbow carpeted, and wide
Enough for clear, still lakes to steal the sky ...
R-R-R-R!!! I cannot tell you what's inside!
So you must turn to what you feel for me,
And read therein my tender rhapsody.
Reach deep, my love, and I will be there, too:
You have me in your heart, as I have you.
Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
You are like a tossing sea
And I am like your shores.
You are like an endless wave
And I your waiting sand.
And I will wait forever as
You come and smooth my hand.
I will wait forever, yet
You are a part of me.
I hold you in my arms, while you
Come to me endlessly.
Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
I love you with a love that yearns
To be your golden shores.
Thank you for being the love of my life,
Half of the child asleep in my womb,
A husband whose husbandry made of his wife
Near as blissful a blossom as ever did bloom!
Knight of my nights and dance of my days,
Yours are the eyes in which I am most me.
Only with you will I wend through my ways
Unburdened as heaven, unscathed as the sea!
Never think that I don't love you, though
It may be hard at times for you to know.
Castles must be built with sweat and tears:
Know, my love, I'm yours for all your years.
My lover bathes me in his precious light.
I am the Earth to his all-giving sun.
His needs are burned away in serving mine,
Consumed in the production of his love.
In my awe I'm sometimes forced to wonder:
How can such sweet radiance be sustained?
So selfless is the self in need of need,
So much in love with giving others love.
Still, the sun requires no return.
Light and life come humbly from its fire.
And so I worship him as did the ancients,
Grateful for the gift of being near.
Even though we fight a lot, I love you.
We fight, I think, because the stakes are high.
I sometimes get so mad I cannot stand you,
But underneath my anger I could cry.
I have an uncontrolled need to control you,
To be your only destiny and guide.
I know it isn't fair to try to mold you,
But my poor love's entangled in my pride.
Ah, love! Please love me even in my fury,
Which rises like a tide beneath the moon.
I plead before my only judge and jury:
I want to change, but know change won't come soon.
Love finds it hard to let the loved one be
The person who is loved so passionately.
Do not doubt how much I love you
Though my time with you is thin.
I am always thinking of you,
Always loving you within.
A full-time working mom and wife
Just doesn't have much time to give.
But I have given you my life,
And you still reign where I most live.
I do the best that I can do
And hope that you will understand
That everything belongs to you:
My eyes, my thoughts, my heart, my hand.
