Moonlight Sonnets

Life is a story and you are the writer.

[thenightpoem]

Power

An elixir of change

The bane of our lives

Before it the pieces rearrange

Its mystery, deeper than the hieroglyphs

From philosophers to astronomers

From gardeners to emperors

From elders to youngsters

All united by a silhouette

So unique yet so widespread

Is it a Light of hope, or a hidden threat?

A divine miracle , or an eternal debt?

Once set upon the mind

It makes all that it touches blind

It’s hunger never ending

Its hunt unwavering

Its rampage uncontrollable

Its yearning eternal

Growing, expanding, over all it towers

All that is good and pure it greedily devours

A Treasure of the gods?

Veils woven from within

Twisted in whirling knots

Is this how it’s always been?

Its almighty strenght

Like Moises it cuts Deep

Makes all bow at its knee

And those below it weep

A sword so great

Not many can withstand its weight

Or wield it without faith

Shatterer of the Iron gate

They came from far and wide

To wield it all have tried

But instead they’re tied

And at its stone all died

A beast, a monster

Hate and jealousy foster

Taming it is a quest

A true character’s test

But What is this beast

This tall Crystal tower

For which our souls is it feast

That my friends is........simply power

[thenightpoem]

Plea to time

Oh, thy mighty Lord

Sitting alone in your Iron Fort

Get down from your throne

Away from others of your own

There’s no reason for thy fright

So come down here and sit alongsides

So please take a seat and let us recite

The Tales of Arthur and his Knights

Let us take you back to days long gone

Enchant you till mighty Dawn

To the rhythm of jingly cowbell

And pain of splitted nutshell

All the way from the fortress

You can bring along your mistress

For here there’s no distress

So come, thy Lord and join the rest

For here you’re always welcome

Among those of our kind

So leave there thy mighty emblem

For we don’t care of race or bind

In the land of stories told

From the young to the old

Come here oh mighty Lord

But where, you have not been told

For everything you see is floored

By Swings of mighty swords

Underneath those of your kin

So please my Lord don’t nope

For there still lies hope

And though our bones haven’t survive

We are still alive

So we beg you, oh mighty Lord

With our Tales you’ve been delighted

And Even though we have been parted

With us you still bonded

So bow you ear to the ground

Listen to our sound

Cause beneath great swords and heart’s bleed

Lies our final pleed

So please, oh please our mighty Lord

Keep the fire within well lit

Carry it on, spread the myth

And listen carefully our beloved Lord

Whilst stuck in your Fort

For all your effort, his adevntures are still stored

Eternally in the songs of the bard’s chord

[thenightpoem]

Missing You

Many dances have passed over us

What was once united now is broken

In the threads a mere token

A molecule in a bus

Two petals in the wind

Like two peas in a pod

Together we were the duo

Our hearts intertwined

Images playing on repeat

Shattered and filled with dust

Our dreams young and sweet

Now lie in the rust

Do you still remember me

And the way we used to be?

All the fun and laughs

We were like two halves

Do you think of me?

The way I think of you?

Or all of it away you threw?

Have you thrown it in the undersea?

You know what, it doesn’t matter

Because these images may shatter

But their spirit will always linger

Inside you, voice of a faraway Singer

I wish you could be here

That the dances would go backwards

Reunite us once more

And be the two of us again, just like before

Yet alas, here I am weeping

In her lap as I am bleeding

My wounds, deeply aching

As the statues are slowly breaking

Even though many dances have passed over us

My images are still clear

Deeply wishing you were here

And everything to be like it once was

And even after so many dances have passed

My heart still is in Deep pain

Images replaying in my brain

Constantly like a movie recast

It doesn’t matter how hard I try

Or how many tears I cry

Cause in the end

I still miss you, old friend

[thenightpoem]

Farewell

Many dances have passed

Changes have appeared in the cast

Yet here I stand

Singing my chant

Warm yet cold

This is my song

My call to the old

For it is this that I long

Oh, mighty Chronos

Ruler of time and the Cosmos

I call upon thee

Bestow your power on me

Or if that isn’t not good

Then if you could

Then use your sickle and wren

And take me there again

Make the dances reverse

And sink in ancient hieroglyph

Let myself in those treasures immerse

And my past once more relive

O, mighty titan

Who you so many frighten

Again, I bow and beg you

Make my wish come true

From above your voice I hear

For your song is so sweet and sincere

I couldn’t help but come here

To listen and to it be near

For millennia I have lived

And I’ve seen the world turn and shift

Yet such a sound soft yet strong like a gong

It is unlike any I’ve heard before, your song

Strong yet Soft. Sad yet oh so fair

Desire, happiness and many a tear

Woven with such tenderness and care

It glows so warm and gentle, like a solar flair

Such a beauty is your aching

That my being you managed to enchant

Listening so closely, even my soul is breaking

So much, I can’t help but along to chant

All the while I am sad

For I feel your pain

Tying you down like a chain

As you’re walking down the path

And while your song you play

As the night will soon give way to day

Yet beneath its eyes so starry

All I can say is I’m sorry

I’m sorry for as I here stand

Hearing your desire so grand

It hurts me so much, for I can’t

Your sweet, gentle wish grant

Your soul so pure and sincere

Many mortals I have known for I am old

Yet you are special, my dear

Among the rocks, a gem. Amidst metals, pure gold

So, you have heard?

What pain and longing I harbour?

Through my many a soulful word

Carrying my deepest hurt

Yes dear, I have

And I simply cannot believe

What beauty you’ve made from grief

Superior to any noble’s treasured staff

If you like my song so much

Then is it much to ask of thee

For if you know so much

Would you please guide me?

Help me through my plight

For you much have seen and are wise

Aid me to regain my light

And soothe my soul’s desperate cries

Come here, dear

Let me see you face

Please, come near

Let me your soul embrace

Inside it is heavy rain

Filled with memories of days younger

Sweetness turned to pain

What is now black was once color

There is something you do

You can regain your light

And you can shine anew

And rise in joyful flight

There is something you can do

To heal your broken soul and heart

Your journey will be long and hard

Yet soon, you’ll shine anew

I know how to heal my hurt

Yet it is so hard

To fix my heart

And fly again like a bird

That, well I know

There is no need to despair though

For I will always be here

And on from above I’ll cheer

Is it truth that you are now spilling?

Or am I just dreaming?

That you are so kind and willing

Your help so readily to be offering

No, dreaming you are not

I really do want

To help you untie your chain’s knot

And form with you a bond

Oh, then you I must thank

For down here coming

I must be frank

Your listening has been comforting

Moments like these are rare

When people are willing to just be there

Without a need for something to uttter

Not a talker, but a kind, compassionate viewer

Now, my dear

The time is near

Soon the night will give way

To a new, shinny day

But before I go

There is something I want you to know

In order to be free from the chain

And cease your pain

Let yourself flow

Be one with the sea

Don’t worry, take it slow

And soon you’ll be free

Then I guess it is time

That I stopped wallowing in regret

Let the bells outside chime

And take a deep breath

People come and go

Yet you are here

To watch and help me grow

To soothe my soul and my mind clear

If you say it’s the only way

Then my tears and loneliness I must quell

For here I cannot stay

Even if around me it seems to be hell

Reality is scary, my dear

For it is filled with much pain and change

Yet, though to you it may seem strange

Lights are not just far, they are also near

Cherising your past is great

Still, to life there is so much more

So my dear never lose faith

And open that old, busted door

There is no point to regret

I’ve done it for too long

Thinking of things undone and unsaid

And turn them into a song

Those people, things are long gone

For they, as I much have changed

Now I stand underneath the dawn

As the colors above have rearranged

Thank you, Chronos

For listening and your kind words

With you by my side, I can defeat Phobos

And rise again, as would birds

Now it is time

To finally break free from my cell

Then, I shall listen to this divine sign

And end this painful spell

Now my wounds I must mend

Close this door of this hotel

For this chapter has come to an end

You have been loved and cherished

In my heart I’ll keep you untarnished

Yet now, to you all I must tell

Farewell, guys. Farewell…

[thenightpoem]

Dreams

Just one look

It’s all it took

You took off my Cape

And helped me escape

Here I’m always safe

Following the wave

Entering the gate

Here is where you wait

There you stand

In the sunset

Towards me raised your hand

Here I’m your juliet

I take your hand

As the water began to flow

In our special place we stand

And we watched the starry glow

Your eyes, two rubbies

Lips, gentle petals of rose

You can fufill my greatest desires

With you time just froze

Under the moonlight

Watching the celestial dance

Until the arrival of daylight

Feeling the romance

Then came a bright gray

And took me away

To my own dismay

Because it began a new day

When I walk around

I see your pretty face

There opens my wound

My mind is in an everlasting haze

When I come back

You stand here smiling

For this moment I’ve been waiting

My day is no longer black

As we sat in our place

The stars shone brightly

And we began to slowly dance

To our heart’s symphony

You look in my eyes

I can tell your desire for closure

As the maiden began to rise

You held me even closer

Caught in an endless dance

We stood toghether in bliss

Right then you found your chance

Locked my lips in an eternal kiss

Like you there is nobody

My heart screams

And there stands reality

Telling me ,, Wake up! Stop being carefree!”

Then I realize these are just....... dreams

[thenightpoem]

Song to Helios

Oh, rider of legend

Thee deserves tremendous respect

Thy importance never questioned

For without you, we would be eternally wrecked

Nurturer of life

Rider of the golden chariot

Descend now from your zenith

And help us thrive

Destroyer of evil

Nightmare of Demons

Understanding it ain’t simple

Fighting their dark legions

So please my lord, take flight

Commence thy travel

To make the sky once more dazzle

With your resplendent light

Others, they don’t understand

The way you help our land

From the brain of sand to the plant

Everything you nourish and to us grant

Yet you are not alone

On the celestial plane

I am aware, my Lord of the duality of the throne

For here two kings reign

Yet, this is for one

The one, glowing sun

So please, do not feel sorrow

For this ode is not for you, oh Apollo

It is for you, son of Cronos

May my praise be carried by cosmos

Heroes, bow, lower your arrows

Bring them forth. Commence Sopranos

I acknowledge your presence

The Witches father

Giver and helper

I await your dazzling entrance

I Plead with thee

May my prayers reach your entourage

Step before me

And walk through the mirage

Shed the veil of sadness

Save me from the darkness

To your likeness there is none

For the sun is only one

While rulers, there are two

This song is to one

The one whose daughter spun

She who cast the curse

The witch of Aiaia, Circe

I sing thy praises father

Ye who makes our lives better

For without you, there would be no raj

Remembered be you. Blessed be you, lord Helios

[thenightpoem]

Fighter

Black was I all I saw

And all I’ve ever known

My heart so many times thrown

Scared by many a claw

Still on I went

Trying to keep fighting

I’m trying, trying, trying

Yet it doesn’t seem to end

Come on girl, get up

Don’t look like a beat-up pup

Come on girl, get the perfume from the shelf

Girly, keep it to yourself!

Don’t you dare let it show

All the pain and all the woe

No one must know

The suffering you now undergo

I’m trying, I’m trying so hard

To keep it together

To clear up this stormy weather

That has taken over my heart

And yet it just keeps growing

The whispers keep on going

The demons are still growling

And I, am drowning

More and more by the day

Heavier my soul weigh

Burned by lightning, deafened by thunder

Yet through all this I wonder

Is there a way

Or something I can do

Is there something I need to say

So I can be happy too?

Well, they are still here

Whispering, screaming in my ear

And they won’t let me go

I guess they are in my tarot

And so, if I won’t be saved

Then I must be the one to rise

To face the waves of fears and lies

And free that which they have enslaved

For as hard as it may be

I must keep going

And to carry on hoping

That I’ll set myself free

Girl, I know it is hard

By them you have been scarred

Still, to them you must stand up

And soon, you’ll be running this club

You’ve been fighting for so long

Through thick and thin

You’re not the same one you’ve been

Keep standing strong

For a long time you’ve fought

Never will it end you thought

Yet in the end, you are still standing

And you’ll keep on learning

So stop hiding your struggle

Look at how much you’ve grown

Sure at times, you may stumble

But at least you are not alone

And thanks to time, love and therapy

You’ve found your family, sisters and brothers

So girl, you are in charge of your destiny

And soon…you’ll shine in brilliant colors

Lastly, ignore the whips of others

For they love to see you down

So don’t let them drown

And fly on like vultures

You still have a way to go

The path may seem endless, I know

Stil, you’re evolving, becoming nicer

And soon you’ll be brighter than any fire

In the end, this is Your story

And only you are its writer

So fight your monsters and stand in glory

For you are not a weakling! Because you girl….are a fighter!!

[thenightpoem]

This poem is dedicated to my friend, @fragileheartbeats. I hope that you’ll enjoy it.

Opposites

I am the sun

And you are the moon

When our duties are done

We’ll meet at noon

I am the Ying

You are Yang

You’re like the bing to my bang

I am the heart

And you are the brain

Together we’ll stand through rain and pain

We shall never be apart

You are black

And I am white

In your darkness, I’ll be your light

And if you need me, I’ll have your back

And so you shine in the day

Under your light, people laugh and play

While I bloom in the night

When people sing; think and write

You may say we are different

Which is true

Yet no matter how different

I care about you

In many ways we are opposites

Flowers in the sea of roses and violets

But just like sun comes after the rain

So bright will shine our flame

And so, we shall shine our light

You in black and I in white

And regardless of differences in the end

In my heart, you are my friend

[thenightpoem]

Issues

Walking through the world

Blackness all around

As it twisted and swirled

Happiness, endless hunt for it to be found

Robots, everyone is the same

Carrying guilt and Shame

Mere pawns in an endless Game

United by a red thorn : Pain

Looking up at the superstars

Dreaming underneath the stars

Hiding behind silver bars

Our many bleeding scars

Only shadows know

Our darkest fears and secrets

That we never show

Our endless misses and regrets

All we are are advoiders

In our maze eternal runners

Fathers,children, mothers

Hunted by ghosts and monsters

Thorns in the dark bringing the pain

Lying deep insise our brain

Happiness painfully breaking

Our souls sadilly bleeding

Pain, our eternal enemy

So we always advoid it

But this is only an illusion

Illussion of seclusion

Trying to run from the ones who land a hit

But this is isn’t the happiness recipe

We should look inside

At the wounds which we denied

And happily embrace

Only then you’ll find a place

The place where you can be at peace

And the suffering shall forever cease

We all have them,

It’s not important from where they stem

But we must always remember that

We all are important, each and everyone of us

Regardless of our path

We need to learn to forgive

And learn our lives to joyfully relive

And only then

We’ll be able to be happy again

Now and forever I want you to remember

That we can be stronger

‘Cause happiness will always choose

People who are stronger than their Issues

[thenightpoem]

Black

Sitting on the ledge

Looking from the edge

Leaning in the darkness

Falling in the endless sadness

Body heavily falling

Hope, grains of sand in the wind

Desperation rising

Shattering my mind

Crumbles, pain of flying

Lights, painfully fading

All around nothingness

Falling deeper in the darkness

Eyes, grey of emptyness

Eternal blindness

Everywhere dark veil of plague

Colour it all dissapeared

Happiness, jockingly smeared

Echoes are all I hear

Endless web of fear

Laughter, darts of poison

Trapped in an eternal prison

Insults, curses, swears of the Deep

Constanly creep

Poison from all corners

Living in permanent horrors

Ceaseless waves of pain

Psyche and body aching

In the sun I’m crying

All rescues simply in vain

Tied down by chains

Poison in my veins

Slowly craking but alas

Here I lay, shattered glass

In the dark, scream of despair

Calling, in hope anyone is there

Body and soul slowly conquered by plague

As they continue to crack

Eyes, clouds of lead

Hope is long dead

There it is, my final crack

All I see now....is black
