Lonely

Lush green are yonder valleys but
only I can see them not.
Nimble creatures scurry about.
Everyone sees them but I do not.
Laughter echoes in those deep valleys.
Yearn, I do, for company that I have not.

Saved by the Valkyrie

In the endless abyss of darkness I stood waiting,
looking for a way to end my days, but
on yonder ledge stood the maiden on horseback.
Valkyrie, her hair as golden as sunshine.
Eternally framed in my mind's eye,
you showed me the path to the surface.
Out of the abyss I climb and stand in the light.
Unashamed you smile and say "Everything will be alright"

My Dear

There is something about me you should know my dear.
I'm not perfect, my dear, and that's what I truly fear.
You deserve the best that exists, year after year.

I'm not perfect, my dear, and that's what I truly fear.
I hurt. I fight. I am hurt and brought down to a tear.
That's not what you deserve, my dear.
That's not what you deserve, my dear.

I'm not perfect, my dear, and that's what I fear.
You are the only one to have come so near.
Just being with you has brought, to my heart, a cheer.
Just being with you has brought, to my heart, a cheer.

I'm not perfect, my dear, and that's what I fear.
But I'll bring you happiness from everywhere to here.
I want to brighten up your life, my dear.
I want to brighten up your life, my dear.

There is something about me, my dear,
that you should know right now and here
I'm not perfect and I easily tear.
But your smile has given me courage, that's clear,
to finally face each notion I fear.
Solemnly, I vow to protect your smile and that's a promise, my dear.

Something belated... ;)

About 10 months back I met a fairy
and although small, she's cute and merry.
Youthful soul! How peaceful and clean!
Understanding and friendly: she's an angel to me.
Sheer innocence and wondrous grace,
happy I am to have caught your gaze.
In short strides have you come into my life.
Just a smile, and I forget my strife.
Auspicious be the day when you arrived
in this world to be the one who would provide
new meaning to my life so grey

MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY!!!

Nature's wonder

Nature knows best, the time of every new
promise that flows from the rains and dew.
The promise of wealth of the land.
The promise of calm waves over the sand.

A welcome breeze does gladly send
the scent of flowers across the bend,
of the swift river, clean and pure,
sparkling with treasures of Nature, galore.

Rolling hills and mountains with snow
ever so pleasing, with a holy glow.
And mighty trees with rich foliage
bring sweet life, to all, in every age.

A shower of blossoms, a howl of thunder
a carefree lamb, a caring mother.
Wonders of Nature, all around.
Wonders of Nature, forever abound.

For a dear friend

Delicate heart and pure soul,
earnest spirit, playful and cool.
Even in sadness, you manage a smile;
kind and warm, to friends beside.

Special you are, to those special to you.
Healer you are, to those who are hurt before you.
A friend you are, to those who need you.

Joyous be your life,
and sunny be your days, and
in friendship, may you find
new peace and old love.

My first acrostic poem. Hope you like it :)

That night

Tonight, I may not see you any more
Ah! my heart! It feels so sore.
Cursed Fate! Oh how cruel you are:
and with me, you forever spar.
But sweet Love, I wish
to see you again, before I perish
into the depths of sleep
tonight, cold and deep.
