the moon, so silent, abstract and wondrous

Posted by Robert Anderson On Wednesday, February 23, 2011 1 comments

the moon, so silent,
abstract and wondrous for the life
it breathes in me which
easily ignites my desire

though i only wish to captivate it with words
i have no intention of ever reciting to you
it whispers of vagueness
and i listen intently

remembering when you and i shared within

the very spirit of beauty
each and every
midnight rendezvous 'til
i whisper 'i love you' through teary eyes

oh, if i could alter these memories then
i'd surely have us together, and
in the essence of dreams, forevermore...
forevermore

The Estranged Charlatan

i'll carve my truest thoughts into the wall
tonight with hope that you will hear my plea
the clock once told me one day i would fall
yet never whispered how i'd not be free
the pain i feel invites my heart to break
the winter snow drifts beauty for awhile
although i have nowhere to go, i'll make
the best of this in thinking of your smile
there is a scythe that hides within the wind
it holds your voice and tells me you don't care
oh i apologize for how i sinned
  i never meant to bring you such despair
you tossed me to the streets with no remorse
and cried how you could do with a divorce

tonight you will not see me

tonight you will not see me
as the moon can't see the sun
and the stars up high in the ponderous sky
unveil what must be done

when life begins and ends with doubt
a line so frail and weak
please think me not as careless dear
for in this my heart speaks

as vague as i may seem sometimes
i know that you still cry
you shiver to the storms that dwell
within you as you try

oh how i hate myself right now
for all i've put you through
tonight you will not see me
 in such i bid adieu

A Broken Heart's Lament

Posted by Robert Anderson On Saturday, July 18, 2009 0 comments

I think so much about our final year
Now that you've gone and left me here to stay
I used to think that you would never near
A time when death upon your soul would play
You were so young I thought that every day
The sun would shine and we would always be
Here for each other far before the gray
Breached both our lives and set your spirit free
I know one day it's your face that I'll see
When fate should twist in time and have me go
Just know for now I'll hold you here with me
Beyond my pain where all my love does flow
There is no-way I'll think no more of you
I'll have no peace until my life is through

The Rejuvenation of Dignity

 Please understand that presently I must display
To find the life we used to know within our dreams
The very beauty which I feel has died today
Oh, trust me when I say your self indulgence seems
To push my heart away as we no longer share
All that we had when sweeter days bore fortitude
The glow of virtue throughout every night we'd bear
Made way into a place where this would oft include
The fluency of lust which burned within your soul
I wish that all our time had always been like that
Yet moment after moment you have lost control
and now it feels as though my love and hate combat
There is no way of helping you when you can't see
What you have done to us, I wanted you to know
I'm tired of dragging myself through the dark debris
While feeling just as all we knew died years ago
I cannot keep forgiving you for every time
You bring me sadness and drown me in your despair
Then leave me all alone to think about the crime
Which causes me to wonder if you even care
While peace within myself for what I do believe
Now that I've pegged the true form of your inner core
Gives back my spirit as you watch me gently leave
This isn't like the times I said I'd leave before
I'll search my way to what you could not give, my sweet
and dream a dream that one day may come into view

When I do find the one who will make me complete
You'll wake up to the thought that what you lost was true
