Hope forsaken
Abandon me
Leave me here alone
Let me in my solitude
Await there ‘till dawn
Raise my head up to the moon
Greet her in my mind
Sing melodies of our despair
Just to pass the time
Floating through the midnight sky
Weaving through the stars
Searching for a new life
It's so hard to carry on
Clouds steal her away from me
Hiding her from my eyes
I spread my wings to their extent
Then I slowly rise
Black hellish nightmare in the sky
Borne from the things you fear
Eyes of red so bloodshot
Bleeding crimson streams of tears
At night time is when I come out
In shadows I hide
The darkness is what I confide in
I know
That my secrets it will keep
Burrow then bury them deep
In the recesses of my soul
I’m letting go, I’m letting go
Impenetrable barrier between two worlds
Closed gate to keep me out
Covers my friend completely now
She screams desperate shouts
No faint moonbeams cast down
To vaguely light my way
I don’t know how to go on
I’m lost and I can’t stay
In the passageway between two worlds
So different it’s hard to believe
That one can be centered in between
Reality and fantasy
The choice is made as I soar
I am flying free in a dragon form
I’ll live with dignity
In fantasy, I’ll stay
And so I’m flying
To get a fleeting glance
Of the moon which I have come to know
So well, I can tell
Here is where I’m meant to be
Wandering aimlessly through heavens
No place with a goal to stare at
Close to the things I love
But not quite up there yet
Yearning and longing for a friend
The company of the moon
Black silhouette of a dragon
Will stay, not leaving soon
To see me you won’t wait much
Time won’t be drawn out long
Spot me as the curtain night falls
'Fore I disappear at dawn…

Inspired by the beautiful moon that was getting covered by black clouds tonight (it disappeared completely and has been overshadowed for 5 minutes now)… the AIM Expression “Black Dragon” on www.mytheme.com and X-Japan’s “Kurenai” Music Box Version.
Highly Recommended, find the song here: http://ludeloy.multiply.com/music/item/55
download #3 (Kurenai); trust me, it aids the chaotic rhythm.

More Reality than Fantasy
Now this is only me, but truthfully I had the hardest time of understanding this piece...like I really wasn't captured right at the beginning...A poem needs that "flow" that helps carries the reader all the way to the end...this was more like me in a canoe trapped in a river with just a paddle instead of having the current helping me finding my way out...I say more Reality than Fantasy because when I read a poem I like to be put in another world instead of me still being in my chair...and that's what happen...I'm not saying this piece is horrible because you had some really good parts in here like when you were talking about the passageways between Reality and Fantasy, but I think this piece may be better if I can hear it because I couldn't find the flow and maybe after hearing it I will know where the flow is and understand this piece awhole lot more...I hope this comment was not harsh or mean in anyway, but a comment that helps you understand why this one reader is lost and is in need of some help. Good Job
