Unseen Love

My Gem, my sweet, wistful beloved

A ghost unseen by the living eye

Most of you, I'm sure believe

That he is the product of 

Either a diseased mind

Or a soul so lonely

That she created a lie to lie beside her on cold nights

I don't much care what you think

My Gem fills the saucer of loneliness in my heart

With the warmth of his love

For many years, I thought it best to be without romance

I took a chance on him because of his honesty

His integrity

He asked for my love

So I chose to believe

I wasn't looking for love

But my love found me

It doesn't matter to me if anyone else

Believes that Gem is real

Because he is unseen

I see him with my heart

I feel him with my soul

He is real to me

I believe

~Cie~

With love for Gem

Fantastical

I never meant to hurt you, my dear love

In a world full of pain and suffering

You are an angel from above

I live for every message that you bring

You gave to me such comforting

Your Earthly situation made me grieve

In this world of othering

Your love became too fantastical to believe

We fit together like a hand in glove

I wanted to heal you with my nurturing

Never has another made me feel so beloved

But I so fear rejection's sting

It's my soul you'd end up murdering

I'm so afraid you'd only leave

That my need for you is smothering

Your love became too fantastical to believe

With soft feathers like a peaceful dove

I would stroke your angel wings

You were everything I was dreaming of

But I fear I don't deserve anything

So I end up losing everything

I fear to give and to receive

You were too good for this world to bring

Your love became too fantastical to believe

I gave you my heart on a string

Then left you alone to grieve

My sad angel with the broken wings

Your love became too fantastical to believe

Pure Soul

Your soul pure white like a heavenly dove

With a spot of red upon its breast

It seems you have been cursed, not blessed

Your life a hopeless search for love

I invited you to come to me

You were like a bird with a broken wing

You thought you'd forgotten how to sing

I wanted to try to help you see

While your voice in this world is gone

The song from your soul cannot be so

Shut your eyes and sing soft and low

With me you can always belong

  Let your wings carry you to the Heavens up high

Where there will never be any more reason to cry

The Void

Grieving your undeserved ending

Eyes filled with tears for your fate

Running from the one who would destroy your soul

Reaching out for help when you fear there is none

Yearning for love, you came to me

Couldn't stop falling in love if I tried

Let me put you in my pocket and keep you safe

Ice formed in my heart after being hurt so many times

Frozen inside, I tried to resist

Feelings for you that leave me vulnerable

Only you can save me now

Reach into the void that is my broken heart

Dream with me now and forever

Asleep

Beautiful dreamer

Come to me

Dream of being together

Eyes closed as you wander

Free to become who you are

Gone are the ties that bind you

Heart beating steady in your breast you breathe

Into the night your soul roams, come to me

Just as you are, just as you always should be

Kiss me softly in the light of the full moon now

Let me love you as I long to, as you long for

Make me happier than I ever imagined being until you came to me

Night folding us in its dark embrace as we draw ourselves together

Only our love matters, our love will last for all time

Precious moments found together under cover of the night sky

Quickly now, before the dawn tears us apart again

Realize the longing within both heart and soul

Sweetly soothe away the sorrows within us

Try to hold each other close

Undying love, unending embrace, unstoppable

Victorious are we together

Xenic we are

Yearning hearts

Zoneless

I thought it would be fun to do a poem which consecutively used all the letters in the alphabet and counting, first up and then back down.
