Christmas in the Village

It's Christmas in the Village
Everyone's full of cheer
With all at the Bastard Bar
That we hold so dear
We've Sysman with Strawberries
Dipped in chocolate, so sweet
JD laps up ale
From the bowl at his feet
Lerk the Avuncular
Still talks to the trees
Sylvin mutters about teddy bears
Serving her own special tea's
Night Owl's at the bar
On his own private stool
Pondering a game of darts with SCUZ
Whose becoming a drunken fool
Anduilin carves dragons
In the corner so quiet
Roshambo would like one
Like a big kid,he's a riot
Riddick and Tazo are nestled so tight
Thought they were a statue,
They've been there all night
Darkfox is drooling
Over Karate's new dress
She's clearly a 10
Even Greg is a mess
Turjan giggles while drawing,
A bit pickled and lude
He's been sketching some pics
Oh lord, it's Hoopy Frood nude!
Mathurin is showing off
His skills in karate
Jen makes an entrance
The bar stops....what a hottie!
Pipboy and Wraith are off shooting pool
Shadowman dressed to kill
The Estrogen Brigade drools
Amber, so quiet in the corner she sits
It's He@dbytes chair, and he'll have a fit!
Steve so inquisitive...must know how things work
Counting bubbles in ale, it's his own little quirk
JC wears a shirt, with Pink Teddy Bears on it
He sits at the bar, and writes Sylvin a sonnet.
Lovebunnie my son, misbehaving and flirting
He'll be grounded tomorrow and his head will be hurting
Paladin comes in with his new shiny gear
He's got Tink on his shoulder
Giggling so innocently, whispering in his ear
The party's full swing
They're bobbing for cherries?
I'll say no more..
Have a Christmas thats Merry.


If I've left someone out, and I know I have, but I just can't do a poem THAT long. I love you guys. We've all been a source of support for each other at one time or another. I can't count the times you guys have pulled me out of a "blue slump". This is my way of saying Thank You. Merry Christmas.

Looking back I see a girl
Mischief twinkled in her eye
Gazed upon a handsome face
Her innocence would slide

Time went by, things had changed
Yet, still in thought he stayed
Then one day she saw his name
Somehow a path before her lay

They talked for hours, catching up
On all the years gone by
Her world so different from what it was
She breathed a heavy sigh

It all came rushing back to her
One small moment in time
She remembered when their skin once touched
And her body came alive

She didn't understand what happened
Young, naive and blind
She wanted just to kiss those lips
Feel those arms entwined..

But, that was just one moment
and that little girls' now grown
She had to face reality
They could never be alone

Fantasies are what dreams are made of
Just don't try to make them real
She knew that if she let him,
It's her heart that he would steal

The dreams were very vivid
She woke smiling, and quite flushed
She knew that it would never happen
Her heart, no longer did she trust

Bittersweet Destiny

The picture that I have of you
Stays locked within my mind
You'd have me heart and soul
If only you weren't so blind

I must not say a word
How deep these feelings go
It's not my right to have them
But I have them even so

Watched and wondered, oh so long
What it feels like in your arms
Emotion overtook me
I felt so safe and warm

But that is not my life
Bittersweet destiny leading nowhere
Somehow you understand me
I go where angels do not dare.

Playing with Fire

A look so playful and full of fire
Dark eyes full of pure desire
When you're near, sweet music plays
You broke my will...please have your way

Not so very long ago, in a land not so far away
We bantered and played...never thought of you that way
With Winter winds you went away, how I missed you so
Then without notice, I looked, and you were there..
All you had to do was smile, no words you had to say

The first time that you touched me and my senses came alive
You left me wanting more of you, even just to hold me tight
Shivered me timbers and rocked my world with a simple kiss
I know what I would ask for, if I could have one wish

What every woman wants..someone thoughtful, gentle, kind
Lost track of times that we made love, but I kept that in my mind
For if you knew, you surely run, I've had these feelings for awhile
What I wouldn't give right now, just to see you're smile.

While drifting through a daydream
Upon the stoop I sat
The realization of my insignificance
To that of the average ant

I do not have an army
My weight I cannot lift
So, really what's my purpose?
Through these thoughts I cannot sift

A light that beckons far away
Cast an eerie glow
Looks so peaceful and serene
Yet, I don't think I should go

The void that I call life
Only changes is in it's size
A vastness so indefinate..
The darkness of my mind.

A poem for Slyvie:)
A tiny elvin creature
So cute and cuddly sweet
She brings us tea and cookies
To lay before our feet

We seldom take the time
To say thank you and we care
But she is very dear to us
A gem that is quite rare

Armed with tea and bunny slippers
Nothing shall get by
Please don't try to steal her cookies
For you'll be risking your own life

A wish for just a full nights rest
Uninterrupted bliss...
We miss our Lady Sylvin
...give that baby a kiss

*Hugs*

Elements of You

Like the wind, you could lift me
My spirits would sore
Like the rain, you would drown
all my sorrows away
Like sleet, you stung my face,
so I knew that I could still feel
Like snow, you would blanket me..
try to keep me from harm
Like the sun, you still shine
My thoughts of you are warm
Like the moon, you are but a mystery
For I don't know where you are.......

Destiny's Lifeless Garden

I wonder if you even know,
Or if you even care
Whats it's like to wear these shoes
Made from isolation and despair

A destiny of no control
Always hanging by a thread
I can cry on my own shoulder now
As I lay down my weary head

As naked as Winters barren trees
Alone like a lifeless garden
So empty like a hollow shell
Like stone, I have been hardened.

I seldom have the joy of simple chat
Like the last child picked for dodgeball
Or the path of a Black cat
Annoying little pest, it must be a gnat!

So if you want to know, or you even care
It aint pretty, my friend beware..
Just too much of a living hell
Excuse me, I've a soul to sell...

Achromatic Incubus

As I wandered through the wasteland
I came upon a place
The flowers so achromatic
Like death upon ones face

My private little incubus
From which I can't awake
I chose another path
No need to depredate

A dark Nimbus always follows
It doesn't matter..I can't hide
Muffled voices that are Aeolian
Existance nullified

In search of equanimity
Vermillion skies that bleed
Lost and tired, broken down
Immolated for The Creed.

If you could hear my voice again
I know you'd understand
there's too much shit I'm dealing with,
I just need to hold your hand
We don't need to walk into the sunset
Like some sleazy romance novel
uncomfortable silence in a veiled wall between us
You hold the key, in this you revel
just an unbalanced mind in an unbalanced world
smoke and mirrors to deceive..
it just appears to be quite level
At one time you were my everything
The friend thats never lost...
Crossed the line, went too far
Heavy price, I paid the cost
For you won't hear my voice again
As it slowly fades away
But I'll hold the memory of you my friend
In my mind you'll always stay.

Thank Heaven for Rainbows

Did you know your like a rainbow
Pretty colors in the sky
Sometimes the glue that holds us
Always ready with a smile

I don't know why you chose him
Luck smiled upon him that day
You don't know how we cherish you
In each and every way

A special person..a heart of gold
You've got a gift, you know
Passed on to you from one so special
From a sweet memory I hold.

What I'd like to say is Thank You
For being who you are
You've helped us all go through so much
A brilliant shooting star..

I wrote this for my cousins wife. His brother just passed away over the weekend. She's held us together through an awful lot the past couple of years and she truly is a Godsend.

How I miss that shoulder
That I leaned upon too hard
A deadly game of poker..
Wicked fates that dealt the cards

Something in how you knew me
So much I couldn't tell
A downward spiral, lost control
My life a living hell

At one time could count my strengths
Now my weaknesses prevail
A nasty view.. an unbalanced mind
'Tis a truly wicked tale

I've dealt with the hand I was given
For it was I who dealt the cards
The game now chosen, Solitaire
It is my just rewards..

Defenseless, no more fight in me
My wish to stay where I call home
Peaceful are my intentions
For I do not care to roam

I've wandered through the Wastelands
They were so desolate and cold
The Chair is my best companion
With sweet memories I hold

Always there with your quick wit
Ready to lend a helping hand
So young and full of life
Now in someone else's hands

When last I saw your face
We said goodbye to your mother
Now I must say goodbye to you
Alongside of your brother

I wish I'd said more often
How much you meant to me
I made sure last time we spoke
Somehow that gives me peace

I think I hear some music
Coming from the skies above
I know your there with Mom & Dad
Please send up my love.

Always questioning sincerity
From an unmanageable blunder
This unnerving introspection
Gives you cause for wonder

Fear not my angel
I mean no harm
No mistaken intentions
Just keep me warm

Isolated from feeling
Please....no more pain
I wonder..have all of my words
Been comletely in vain ?

I suppose the real question is..
Who's questioning who?
What I need an honest answer to
While we're dancing this dance...
Do you really believe I deserve that chance?

It's not even my style of writing, but it just came out...it's most definately an odd one for me.
The chilly autumn rain
falls like frosted tears upon my window
Remembering dreams now faded....
Lighting flashes in the distance
I hear the thunderous words
Howling through the bitter winds
In search of shelter from the elements
Finding little comfort from one small trees bough
Found huddled and shivering
Standing all alone.

Chronicles of Uncertainty

I've learned so much on this crazy path
of unplanned self discovery
A bizarre chronical of misspent time
Essential to ascend towards some sane form of recovery

Still unsure of what lies in wait
A path thats not too straight and narrow
Somewhat of a non-entity, no longer discontent
Lost are nightmares of the sins, that I cannot repent

There is a future, somewhere distant
A sun not yet on my horizon shines
The nimbus that was guiding me, no longer up above
Today I'll live for me alone...just one step at a time

Most likely I will faulter, perhaps stumble, maybe fall
One thing I know for certain, I must take down the wall
This life it isn't perfect, sometimes we must feel pain
For if we feel, we love, then something has been gained.

I never corssed the boundaries
That separated me from you
So taken in and mesmerized
Not sure what I should do
Possessing these awakening thoughts
I've seen clearly as a vision
Dare I cross the tracks that lead to this division?
So many questions come to light
Are they left better in the dark?
What is it like in your arms
Is this a solitairy spark?
Talking to you for hours,
Never bored with what you say
I look into your gorgeous eyes
All my cares just fade away
Knowing I can look, not touch
This is driving me insane
An unspoken admiration
Have all these thought just been in vain?

I thought I saw a rainbow
In a starry twilight sky
It gave me hope to carry on
But not to question why..
Inquistive by nature
I asked the question that arose
The answer wasn't what I thought,
That's just the way it goes..

Always in a downward spin
Spiraling out of control
Keep on clawing right back up
Don't give up and fold

Such an iron maiden
A picture portayed by some
Shaken..with a spirit bruised
So completely come undone

Something always made me smile
But now is faded, gone away
There are no colors anymore
It all just fades to grey...
