Off My Mind

Theme - Fantasy

Upon the shadowed midnight moon,
The darkened sky brings all in full,
Tears of sadness takes my mind,
Sometimes feel like i've gone blind,
Upon the sacred shadowed moon,
stars of light show less soon,
the darkness pulls all light from this,
all i think is of that kiss,
i have nothing left to stand on,
just to fly like i'm a dragon,
when you wish that wish once more,
think of me like once before.

Dragons wings and mist of dark,
Zombie kings and lords of spark,
Flames grow high into the night,
wait for me to join the fight,
still the hero of the relm,
time to stand and remove my helm,
time to see what i have missed,
no time like the once been kissed.

Willows bend,
bows can break,
but still i find,
that willows wake,
not a crack,
a fissure seen,
only that of dragons wing.

((Dedicated to amy, the willow of my inspiration))

this was totally cool, my favorite one yet! so much to say so little space, so i will just leave it at that.

I agree.. I think it's the best poem i have ever written, but your the first one to reply to it, i guess it's that good ^_^

*jaw drops* You dedicated that to me?!?!?! That was WONDERFULL!!!! It took me TOTALLY by suprise! Mikerz, I love it!!! I was reading it aloud in my class and I saw that at the bottom and I went nuts - Ask my friend. Hehe I'm gonna print this out, again, thank you sweetheart. :)

Heh heh heh

I did that just for fun.. I also put in the willow part in the poem because it helped it flowed, and i was thinking of how you are.. you bend, but never break. Like i said, you are my willow of inspiration.. ^_^

*blushes* How sweet of you Mikerz :) I'm glad that I could have been of some help - Makes me feel better. :)

You are really good! I love fantasy and I think you are the best so far that I have seen!! Congrats!  :D Great job.  (who's amy??)

*chuckles* Thanks Evengelina, Amy is Zenobia....

I'm adding this to the Dry Tear Book not because I helped inspire this poem but because I think this is the best work he's ever done. The words are beautiful, they flow with each other and it tells a perfect story. I almost start to cry every time I read it.

I would agree that this is his best. Nice choice hun.

This finds a place to touch a soul !
Fine work my friend !
Bill

I'd agree with your choice on this, Amerz.

Mike, hun...this is fantastic! I love this poem. I like the imagery, and the language used....a great poem, and definitely worthy of being in the book. Congrats :)

There will be more, give me time... But not a soon as you think... I was in a mood, and I let my mind flow.. another good one is on one of Kat's poems in this book.. (RazorBlade)...
