Forbidden Pleasures

Forbidden pleasures

Who makes the rules

Unfound treasures

And beautiful jewels

Can that line be crossed

What could we truly be

And at what cost

Do you see what I see

I know there is more there

Waiting to be found

Can you feel how much I care

I feel like I'm being drowned

If you knew the amount of desire

That I feel for you

My burning fire

That wants one to become two

Forbidden pleasures

Who makes the rules

Unfound treasures

And beautiful jewels

~Arc Morpheus~

Never Meant Too Be....

Softly as a gentle breeze

Lover crept into my heart

So softly I did not realise

Until we came to part.

'Twas then that love so suddenly

Grew claws, and without warning

Clamped around my heart and left

Me bleeding and in mourning.

So stunned was I by this attack

I did not cry out 'Stay!'

And frowning at my silence

You turned and walked away

I never knew, until you left

How much you'd meant to me

And now you're gone, I guess

Our love was never meant to be....

~Arc Morpheus~

Flowering Friendship

Friendship is like a flower,

Growing in its glory,

Each and every seed,

Telling its own story.

As each flower blooms,

And then continues to grow,

More of its strength and knowledge,

Continues to show.

And like a garden,

It blooms much more fair,

When carefully tended,

By those who care.

Once in a while,

You come across a friend,

Who is as beautiful as a flower,

With a good heart to lend.

So I picked this flower,

And pulled it apart,

And soon all its pieces,

Grew into my heart.

But when I realized,

Is that this flower that grew,

Was not just leaves and petals,

But pieces of me and you.

Your love and kindness,

My strength and power,

Have helped us to grow,

Into our own little flowers.

And now with our friendship,

I’ll never let go,

And we can help others,

To flower and grow.

Vampire

Skin is cold as ice

You breath a chilling breeze

Your hands caress me gently

Fire in your eyes burning bright

Your eyes full of seduction

Guide me slowly towards you

Hypnotic waves of love

Speeds my heart to coo.

Blinding me with passion

Too much for me to stand

I want your touch upon me

Your kiss upon my hand.

You smile at me with pleasure

And grab me by the waist

You plant your lips upon my neck

Begging for a taste.

The room is getting colder

Spinning fast and dark

Your smile is all I see

At the last beat of my heart.

I wake up in a hurry

Hunger feeding at my lost soul

You give me blood to feast upon

My eyes black as coal.

My dreams are now empty

My heart is now dead

I ask you if you'll stay with me

"Forever." is all you said.

Ode To A Friend

Even though I never hear your tender voice

Of tone melodious and sweet

I know your thoughts you'll always share

As if we always meet.

Even though you never walk into my home

In your own special way

I will always view your inner soul

With all your loving traits.

Even though I never see your loving face

Or look into your eyes

You will still be my forever friend

The best that God could find.

Even though I never feel your gentle hand

And clasp it in my own

Your heart I'll still forever hold

For that's where I'm at home.

Though I can never know your lifelong ballad

Yet, a tune of joy you are

Sweetest music in my soul

A song within my heart.

A Moment in Time

There are moments in life when you miss someone

so much that you just want to pick them from

your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;

but often times we look so long at the

closed door that we don't see the one,

which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.

Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile,

because it takes only a smile to

make a dark day seem bright.

Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;

go where you want to go;

be what you want to be,

because you have only one life

and one chance to do all the things

you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,

enough trials to make you strong,

enough sorrow to keep you human and

enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily

have the best of everything;

they just make the most of

everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always

be based on a forgotten past;

you can't go forward in life until

you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying

and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end,

you're the one who is smiling and everyone

around you is crying.

I'll Love Again

Shattered heart

Battered soul

Fell apart

No one to hold

Hold back tears

They keep falling

I hope he hears

My heart calling

Into the wind

Love blows like sand

My wounds will mend

I'll love again

Jessie' Eyes

Your eyes are captivating

Your eyes are electrifying

It looks beyond the skin

And permeates the system

It sees beyond the surface

And mingles with the hidden treasures

The heat of your eyes is overwhelming

They are hotter than the rays of the sun

They shine with glitters

And dims to soothe the nerves

The cloud of your eyes envelop humanity

And make them like the stars of the sky

As they shine upon the world

And turn your eyes into precious gems

Lost Souls

Two lost souls,

Searching for answers

Riding the winds

desperate to change.

As they glide through the air,

They see each other,

recognizing the source of their pain.

For a lingering moment,

they slowly touch,

Taking their time to feel again.

Slowly the winds stop blowing them,

in different directions,

Their bodies collide with gentle perfection.

But, the stillness alarms her,

without motion he can harm her,

So she dances away,

the winds blow harder.

"Alive" she cries,

as she gains control,

but; As she flies she realises...

With his sweetness,

she has left him a piece of her soul.

My Soul Bled

My mind - it travels;

My eyes feel blind.

Can't see the present -

Just what's left behind.

Taking a journey

Deep into the past,

Where love did reign -

Storm clouds were cast.

No matter the bliss,

We loved and let go.

No matter the tears,

It had to be so.

We had to move on.

I tried to escape.

It just didn't work;

Your love was a cape.

I left my homeland.

I fled with fright.

You still chased me

Through every night.

The sleep I lost;

The tears I shed.

Oh, the heartache;

My soul - it bled.

The Man Whore

Deception is the spell you cast

Spinning your cruel words into gold

Gold that turns into translucent trust.

A breakable bond worth severing.

For the eye does not lie,

About the game you bestow before the world.

Ah look now new prey has lingered in for you.

Dark Magician.

What shall you do...

Spin.

Spin all the gold in the world.

But your gold is worth pewter to me now.

Lovers and Friends

You came into my life when I needed you most,

I had almost faded away, becoming a ghost.

A ghost of the man that I once used to be,

Then your friendship came and helped rescue me.

Now I'm a happy man once again.

Tears, a remnant of way back when.

You're not my lover, only my friend.

Still, with you my life I want to spend.

I couldn't help myself, I fell in love with you.

Confessing my feelings, the right thing to do,

You said you loved me, but only as a friend.

So friends we will be right up to the end.

Tainted By My Love

With you inside me,

feeling my soul,

I let out a moan.

It's sinful, sinful I remind myself.

But it feels so right.

Your fingertips digging into my hips,

my arms meeting on your chest,

I can almost hear your heart beating.

Without hesitation,

I push down.

Moving so as to penetrate deeper.

I want you to feel the sorrow,

buried deep in my being.

See the dreams I gave up on.

What does life have left to offer me, besides sadness?

Is my perception so far from reality?

I feel so distant.

When we lay together,

I uncontrollably cover you in sweet kisses.

It's a poor substitute for tears,

but it's unseen just the same.

I will wrap you in my arms,

and pretend that I'm alright.

But really, what is alright anymore?

I have all these thoughts, shimmering behind my eyes.

Can you not see them?

My fingers are crossed,

and I promise.

I make promises, I don't always intend to keep.

But I'm sure you've realized that.

I'm sorry I could never be enough for you.

Through eyes so clouded,

the word beauty would never leave my tongue.

I don't see myself as such.

In fact, I feel almost,

monstrous.

What love could I give you,

but a tainted one?

Liars and Lovers

People who lie once should not be called liars

Because while everyone lies once in a while,

Real liars lie all of the time.

In addition, real liars make others feel that they are no good.

Are lovers and liars different, or are they the same?

Both are different and alike in many ways.

You can't really be sure if you love someone

If there is no trust in each other.

There is just no other way to say it:

'Without trust in each other's heart,

There will be no heart to trust.'

And one alone cannot trust;

Both must trust.

Bella

I can't help it at times, if I trip when I walk

Or I sing some notes out of tune.

I am not like ones you've seen

on movie scenes –

Lovely, witty and sweet.

I am not the shy underdog

with a heart of gold,

or that daring adventurous girl

full of charm.

I fall short trying to fit in,

where I cannot fit in,

trying to be beautiful,

trying to be good.

I look at me

and I cannot see

what He sees,

how someone could love

the likes of me.

But as I look into His eyes

all I know

is that I am loved,

every bit of me – loved.

And I fall for Him,

fearfully yet joyfully,

I fall…

I let myself surrender all –

my hurts, my doubts,

my anger, my insecurities.

And they all vanish

at the sight of Him.

I am moved,

I am thrilled,

I am healed,

every bit of me –

accepted and made whole.

Without even trying to,

He changes me.

Into His own likeness,

He fashions me.

And I sink deeper

into His affections,

where I lose myself

without truly being lost,

where I discover another me,

the one I've always

been meant to be!

And it doesn't matter anymore

that I could never fit in

anywhere else,

for there I've found my place,

for there I've found myself,

the one He sees,

the one He truly loves!

When

There are times

when I still feel like a stranger in this world,

like nobody knows me,

and I don't know anybody who's there for me.

I want to go home,

but I can't go home yet,

and I remain where I'm lost

and cold

and forgotten.

When will I be able to see the dawn again,

when will I be free

to go where I want to go?

No more a stranger,

no more a nobody,

no more alone,

and without a home.

Inspired

I am an inspirer

I cannot steal your sorrows

and bury them inside my heart

so that you may never see them again.

I cannot heal your wounds

I cannot put my smile upon your lips.

I cannot teach you what to do

for you will not follow them anyways.

I cannot save your soul from pain,

for it is pain that awakens you

to seek the path of truth.

This is what I can do-

I can put down my mask

and reveal to you who I really am.

I can show you how I am imperfect and frail

as you are.

I can share you my tears-

tears of sorrow

and tears of joy,

tears that tell you more

than what I could ever explain.

I can share to you my journey

I can share to you my setbacks,

I can share to you my fears

as well as the courage

that has been forged

as through fire.

I can show you

how Morpheus has helped me

through it all,

and how marvellous life has been

no matter how difficult

the trials were.

By unmasking myself,

I can reveal to you

who you really are-

you are an Inspirer, too!

And you have the gift and the power

to pass on the light

that you have found in me!

Only Love

They can never understand

the kind of love that we have

For how could they?

How could they ever fathom

the depths of our bond?

They do not hear our whispers

nor the sweet nothings that come out of our lips,

they do not know the places

where I seek you,

and where you await always to be found.

They do not know the nights

when I lie awake thinking of you,

they do not know the mornings

when I awaken in joy

yearning to see you,

and to know you better than I have ever known you

in days that passed.

You are mine and I am yours,

we are joined in bliss

as we danced,

forever we danced.

We were lost in our passion,

yet we were never truly lost.

They can never understand

how two hearts can speak

without uttering a single word.

how two minds can understand,

without explaining a single thought.

Only LOVE speaks,

Only LOVE hears,

Only LOVE

can ever truly understand.
