The sad attempts at putting words to rhythm... by DagonGirl

Drums
Beating Drums
Pounding Drums
Your presence has my heart dancing in sync with the dance within me.

The Forest
* * * * *

Feet lighter than air.
The leaves make no sound beneath.
I glide through the trees.

Green light around me.
Sun shines through the canopy.
The ground is alight.

I remain unseen.
My shadow among the trees'.
I have my freedom.

To nowhere I run.
I don't need to watch my steps.
Destinationless.

This is my true home.
For how long have I been lost.
Now I have returned.

The Forest

-Sunset-

You settle on the sand
The earthy grains sinking between your toes
Your hands feel the damp earth
The shore is before you
It stretches out for yards upon yards
All around you is open
Sand and air surround you
You sit on the middle of the beach
You settle on the sand
The earthy grains sinking between your hands
You smell the salty air
Yards upon yards are all around you
You are urrounded by freedom
The waves are far ahead
You feel their cooling spray
The day is nearing an end
You settle on the sand
The earthy grains soft to the touch
The sun is moving to sleep
It sinks towards its watery bed
The ocean welcomes it
Its horizon is far off in the distance
Vibrant colors streak the sky and touch the clouds
Everything is aglow
You settle on the sand
The earth beneath you is a beautiful force
It creates a sunset so perfect
It takes your breath away
Your loved one finds you on the beach
They settle down beside you
You talk of nothing and everything
Then the moment sweeps you away
You settle in their heart
Their breath and heartbeat become your lullaby
Their company is all that you need
You talk of nothing and everything
The moment is more than a memory
It steals your fears and uncertainties
You lay there on the sand with your loved one
Two hearts are beating as one

** * **
Fanciful notions taken away
Reality has found its way back home
Once again blinded in the light of day
Thoughts seem to drift, they seem to roam

* * * * *
* *** *

Fanciful notions stolen
Taken by the Daemons
Life, Death, Joy, Greif
The fifth just as burning
Five siblings
No outsider shall ever know
We live with one
For our entire life
Until its brother consumes us
The twins, we travel with
Their laughter, their pain
Our company
The fifth, a force
Unstoppable
Immovable object
For who could ever fully understand
The Daemon that is Love
And now I find that same old thing
That young, that peak, that prime
To be in my company once again
Whispering a different song
Once before, she told me thus
"To Love at all is Great"
And then my heart went fluttering fast
At a voice sounding so unreal
That fire died, its ash surrounds
But I do not greive or weep
To Love at all is Great
Once again, a spark ignites
Why do my dreams turn traitor
Just as I thought my past returned
A stranger...
Nay
A familiar face...
Once again, by heartbeat quickens
Not near the rush as before
Now it sounds
As if a dance
Rising to my core
I dance
I sing
I anything
To Love at all is Great

Oh heart you have betrayed me
Time and time again
I pray today its sacred
The time that you did spend
For your talons grasp at me once more
And lift me to the sky
This time before you let me go
Give me the wings to fly

* * * * * * *

** *** **
A different face
A different time
The same old race
The same old rhyme
A heart's embrace
A break, now I'm
Lost again
Lost again

It was before
A sight to see
To listen more
To speak to me
What hearts are for
Not meant to be
Lost again
Lost again

It starts anew
A different name
Nothing to do
But play the game
In times so few
Never the same
Lost again
Lost again

Third to the left
Something's coming
Only chance now
Fly or free fall
Force of fire
Passion tempered
Water flows fast
Balance it now
With tolerance
Hurricane air
Lost in your thoughts
Earth is solid
Hold your footing
Do not give up
Face it head on
Once devoted
Hopelessly fall
Turning circles
Wondering things
Wandering men
Escape the blast
Roll to safety
Never before
Images blind
Photos capture
Truth is a lie
Blasting music
Beat of your heart
Chase the sunlight
A faithful friend
Pandora's box
Behold your love
Everything is
Make it all so
The world is right
A path does light
It leads the way
Out of madness
Into the fray
Love is blinding
Love is truthful
Love is passion
Love one and live
Lost in thoughts
In thoughts of you
It's all nonsense

WALK THIS WORLD ALONE


I'm gonna walk this world alone
with nobody by my side.
I'm gonna face it and be strong
let my conscience be my guide
and when I think I'm doing wrong
that's when I hope that I will find...
the one to hold me my whole life long
so I don't have to face this world alone.


You chase a dream and it seems so far away.
You never know how you got yourself into this place.
You don't know
how to find where you're going.
You don't know
what to hide on your face.

You wish upon that shooting star far above.
You look to the past at what you've learned from love
and you
drag yourself out of the darkness
to be blinded again
and I know...

I'm gonna walk this world alone
with nobody by my side.
I'm gonna face it and be strong
let my conscience be my guide
and when I think I'm doing wrong
that's when I hope that I will find...
the one to hold me my whole life long
so I don't have to face this world alone.

...so I don't have to face this world alone.
(Gonna face it and be strong.)
...don't have to face this world alone.
(That's when I hope that I will find...)
...face this world alone.
(Don't have to face this world alone.)

The one to hold me my whole life long
don't let me face this world...
alone
