A night within the Shadows.

All about him the cold wind blew. No moon tonight, and the stars were dim behind the thin cloud cover that blanketed the sky. Sitting there, quietly atop the ancient temple, he knew things were going to be changing soon. Knew that the fragile balance he had achieved within his own tainted soul would soon be violently tipped.

These things he could not ponder for much longer however, for the shadows of the forest were beginning to stir. He could feel them waking from their ancient slumbers, coming to life as though some great demon had taken hold of their puppet strings and pulled them taught.

A deep sigh flowed from his chilled lips,
"this is it," his voice was rasp, "this is the day I face my demons."

His body slipped silently into the night, and soon he was well on his way to facing his destiny. No more preparations could be made. No more last minute hesitations. It was either face the world now, or forever vanish into the darkness. He would not lose. He would not be forgotten in the pages of history. Tonight he made his stand, and tonight he would win.

A love

A burning flame
Like passion came
Filled my soul
Beyond control

I lost my life
To endless strife
Then found your light
which stole my sight

Given time
To write this rhyme
I'll hold you near
With zero fear

Give me a chance
Within this endless dance
To hold you to my heart
And begin this perfect start

A light without remorse
letting time run its course
Given chance to breed
Loves slowly growing seed

Welcome

Welcome to the darkness
The shadows of my heart
THese feelings of pain and anguish
Give sorrow a brand new start

The love we feel
Gives light a chance
But i dont know the steps
To that endless dance

Here i'll lie
Sit against the wall
Remain unnoticed
Rather than eventually fall

I know i loved her
I know its true
But the road before me
Is more than i can do

Each step i take
I stumble again
I know so long as i walk
I'll never manage to win.

To much to ask?
To have a light
A guided way
Rather then the dark of night

No, Im lost
I'll never find the way
Though now im in the shadows
she could have been my day

So here i go
Endlessly
Without a trace
Of love of pity

One last breath
I'll take the plunge
A shattered heart
With one last lunge

Pierce me
So deep and endless
As i drift away
I know true bliss

I saw the future
As i glance towards the past
while the path seems simple
It moves to fast

So now im stuck
Stranded in life
No one to love
Nothing but strife

Come now
Do you really think thats all?
Did you really boost me up
Just to watch me fall?

Funny
But i can't laugh now
because this field of sorrow
Is my own to plow

Remember my face
When it knew true bliss
Remember my face
When i dreamt that first kiss

To much to ask?
perhaps thats true
But all i have left
Is that first memory of you.

So welcome to the darkness
The shadows of my heart
For as one life ends
another must surely start.

A new start

I gave my heart to a girl i met
A girl whose gone away
if i could take it back and try again
My heart with her would stay

And never leave
In this truth i do believe

Even though i failed this time
A second chance might prove true
To show how much my love can mean
And give it all to you.

I'd deny fate
Simply to show it's not to late

Listen now, and don't look back
This is not some plea
I know things can't be the same
You'll never be with me

I walk alone
This is the truth I'm shown

But that doesn't mean my love can't try
and i can't wish it to be strong
and when the day is done again
You'll miss me before long

And thats the truth
Never forget the dreams of youth

For now i've had a chance to go
and give my dreams a second chance
And if you saw me in the moonlight
With me you'd surely dance

and love would find
Eternally together it would bind

But everything is gone now
and time has moved so fast
The bonds of love are broken
The chains just can not last

But i love you
And thats all i know to do

So heres my final song for you
a dream i pray makes right
For if a dream can turn to truth
My heart it may take flight

and soar so high
But i know my heart may die

So heres a chance right now
To tell you how i feel
The moments may have passed away
But the memories are so real

I wont forget
and never could regret

So one last verse before the end
I'll tell you what i know
So long as i may smile
For you joy I'll always show

Real or not
This feeling is all I've got.

Make me shine

Show me the way to light
My terrified friend
I've forgotten what its like
To feel loved again

So long I've walked so straight
And never looked back
Its hard to veer from fate
I think i may rest now

How many moments do we try
Before things just turn gray
How long before we die?
And everythings ok?

I wont fight you
If you really want to leave
Theres nothing left to do
Don't you know?

Just forget me
Im not all that special
Why can't you see?
My love is all that made me shine?

Memories of kisses

I see memories touched on those lips
Those lips i once loved to kiss
The memories bring me such sorrow
Though the actions once brought me such bliss

Why are the day's numbered now
As we look back and count them down?
I once saw a dream in the future
Though now in the past i drown

Given a chance to live it again
I know I'd follow the same whim
Though my life once seemed so perfect
Now it all feels so grim

Give me one last kiss
Touch me with those lips so soft
Poison them before your kiss
So my soul may be sent aloft

Because i love you

I've had enough of holding back
all the things i know I lack
The faith dwindles thin as air
sometimes i think you just dont care

One more thing down on my list
now i think you get the jist
Don't come to me when your in pain
'cause things can never be the same

I tried to love you, yes I did
You ran, and then you hid
Did you think i could let go?
tilt my head and say i didn't know?

They say things happen for a reason
But to my heart it still feels like treason
Don't turn and walk away
'cause i can't beg you to stop and stay

Now the moments gone to hell
I'll just retreat into my shell
Pretend i never saw you smile
Feign hate, but i'll still love you all the while

That is the fate i know
And I'll never let you go

Because i love you.
