My Cyrano - This feeling

CYRANO

This feeling that invades me, total and joyous, terrible and jealous. It is truly love, the sad rages, the constant thoughts. And yet it is not selfish. For your happiness I would give my own life gladly, even if you must never know. If it could be that sometimes where I was, no matter how far, I could hear your laughter born of my sacrifice. I fear nothing but your loss. Do you realize? Do you perceive this soul in a shadow? A soul to you the candle that gives me warmth in the chilling darkness and light to see. Without you I am lost forever. This night, this glorious night, is too perfect. It only means for me to die now, with the sight of you trembling like a leaf through branches of jasmine. I love, greater than anyone, I hold the sun in my heart for you, my half soul. You illuminate me, those eyes a beacon to shore. You are my life and in those eyes. I surpass all things, in those eyes love itself could not love as much as I.

anger

anger, let it boil, fertile soil
as the blood runs hot
it surrounds it confounds
and o'er flows the pot

the enemy eaten, meat is beaten
killing receiver and sender
the bread will sop, arguements chop
a debate with no defender

now you choose, a kiss confuse
the gallows far from loose
the gentle kiss, feigned justice
ring rope burns as a noose

justice's daughter, tastes of the slaughter
blind but she can taste,
logic defies, truth without eyes
to hunger goes the waste

trouble enmesh, we lick the flesh
and rage for our pound so soon
to lazy for sloth, we stir the broth
and take our satisfaction by the spoon

for your inspection, this election
a need to target sate
10 in a room, will choose no doom
but find someone to hate

dirge

the poet's rage, turns the page
to the gods pay the debt
chaos reigns, order's pains
in forests of regret

a battle rhyme, time to time
futures gone to this lyric
the sklad's fire, makes the lyre,a liar
the cries their own music

listen child, manner mild
from the shadow of cape and cowl
it shall suffice, this sacrifice
this wounded banshee's howl

it was a dream, this poet's scream
the sorrowful rapture in tune
face defeat, hacked down like wheat
my blood will scar the moon

Ballad of the Ugly Hero

A knight fine of face and eye, will sour,
When on face more than self rely,
His courage will fail, lacking in darkest hour,
Not having what the scars of ugly heroes imply,

Although Roxanne was in Christian’s power,
And old DeBergerac hated his nose,
She fell to a poet’s power,
And they live forever in prose,

And for Belle trapped in a tower,
The beast’s regret what he chose,
With feral roar made Gaston cower,
All for the stinging price of a rose,

So are you up for the task,
When a broken nose or cheek you trace,
Sheeps clothing, skin deep runs the mask,
When you divine courage in a mere face,

So let bard rhyme and heralds shout,
Of All the beauty aesthetic,
It’s the pretty one’s that pout,
And ask for anesthetic,

So gather round this table,
And drink your fill of mead,
The ugly heroes you find were able,
Although our tales you’ll never read,

For in our broken bodies and scars,
Is the vellum our tale is writ,
And our deeds are remembered by the stars,
More than some good looking twit.

I say this without compunction
A labor of life intention
Form may be function
So is reinvention

To the battle with intuition
In a quest to redefine
Joy in work is the mission
When signing on the dotted line

How does one enter
A new world from the old
You have to find the center
And be courageous and bold

The actor owns the stage,
The warrior owns the blade
The poet owns the page
Where all there are made

Life has the clue for rebirth
A code of dots and dashes
To decrypt listen for you worth
And the phoenix will kiss the ashes

two become one
with guilded hearts soar
both become undone
when love becomes war

eris smiles at the strife
a lovers debt ill afford
war and love also life
music melody oft discord

war and love both scar,
weapons of kiss and blade
times like these few and far
when created and unmade

the situation burns desire
love's labours in the arenas hour
we who are about to die inspire
a crucible of loving hate devour

but in those eyes and touch,
a heavenly hell we demand
a burning paradise is as much
as mere mortal can command

so with the fight prapared
she my cathedral and lament
battle I was never scared
when loves whispers eloquent

give me war to tower storm,
and a abandoned fortress stage,
my love gives passion to my form,
when Charon collects his wage
