Dedicated to someone, somewhere.....

Late in the night, as I lie on my bed
Restless, tossing and turning
As the fire in my heart keeps me awake
I sleep not, and yet dream of you
My friend. My love. My desire.
As the bottled up passion roars like a lion
Threatening to tear me apart
To throw me off the fringes of sanity:
I dream to hold you. Kiss you. Love you.
My bed seems inadequate, unable to offer me any calm.


You lie in another corner of the world.
A world so similar, and yet so different, from mine.
As if a reflection of you and me.
You. So pure, angelic, serenity and innocence personified-
A white rose. I dare not touch it
For fear of corrupting it.
So sleep, my sweetheart, and dream in your lovely sleep
Blissfully ignorant, of the feelings I have for you
As I lie awake here, and wonder
Do you ever see me in your dreams?

Home

The rejoicing fades away

As I walk my path

Away-

From the place where it all happened

The place where I was victorious,

The place, where I rejoiced,

With them,

Upon my fallen adversaries.

But now I must walk.

Away from the rejoice, from them

Away from the battlefield, my glory

I walk. Because I have to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of the road it waits for me.

My destiny. So different from the battlefield.

There may not be any cozy beds for me.

Or a nice meal waiting.

No one awaiting my path,

To welcome me inside.

But I still call it: Home.
