And I Shall Love You, Until I Love No More {Licentia Rhyme}

This is like the thoughts of Romeo and Juliet, speaking with Death. If that makes sense. =/. Enjoy.
``````````````````````````````````````````

Snow, charming to her touch, burns unlike before,
And I shall love you, until I love no more."
Sweet caress by moonlights hand; souls will unite,
Whispers softly, "Love at hand is death at sight."
A soothing breeze glows deathly; "Admit defeat;"
Dash to him; "Without you, I am incomplete."
Master of hearts, dare you breathe a timely death,
"You live too long; mangled veins protest this breath."
Echoes build, tombed cry; "...until I love no more..."
Burned hands touch the snow; souls of love yet ignore.
Snow, charming to her touch, burns unlike before,
"And I shall love you, until I love no more."

Sweet caress by moonlights hand; souls will unite,
Whispers softly, "Love at hand is death at sight,"
Nevermore shall igniting bonds bring to touch;
Dangerous ignorance pass; untimely, oh such!
"Succumb! Render mercy, faithless that you be;
In moment's time, lost admist, but never free."
Woes to woes; love is brutal amongst the cold,
Test precise; taste gracious boundaries nothing holds.
Echoes build; whisper in your ear, "...never free..."
Burned hands cool snow; "You have my heart, and the key."
Snow, charming to her touch, burns unlike before,
"And I shall love you, until I love no more."

A soothing breeze glows deathly; "Admit defeat;"
Dash to him; "Without you, I am incomplete."
Souls mend their hearts; they've not forgotten the dark,
Rendered black, hearts sing pity upon the mark.
"We have lived not in vain, but for love and word,"
Crashing templates for the latter that occurred.
Grasp failing hands that seem lost in time, a shame;
"This is death and love, don't you see! Not a game!"
Echoes build; "Grim arrives soon, my dears, be still,"
"We will not succumb!" Does gasp a greater chill.
Snow, charming to her touch, burns unlike before,
"And I shall love you, until I love no more."

New poem??

The Middle Of Everything.

Sparks of blood fly through the air,
swiftly making the sun go bare.
No light to show, show the way.
No hope to let, let her pray.

Burdens have lifted her soul too high,
and her minds been wasted in a rubbish lie.
With power that's faded deep within,
this childs been shaken, never to win.

In the middle of everything she sits all alone,
while she looks at her bed, on the molded stone.
Her thoughts but a course that form but a square,
leaving her soul not a thing to care.

It's just getting worse the life she lives,
with nothing to recieve and even less to give.
She watched herself die right before her eyes.
She watched herself bleed and let out horrid cries..

She can picture it now, the nightmare of death..
Since, she's now all alone, not a thing left.
In the middle of everything she sits all alone..
while awaiting the help and living on stone

The Rest of the World Knows

Every time I look into your eyes
I still see something there,
That hint of something more.
But when others look
All they see is the dullness seeping over me,
Trapping me in your web of deceit.

Every time I see your smile,
I remember your hungry kisses,
That taste you left on my mouth.
When others see that smile
They see the conniving, twisted words
That your mouth holds.

Every time you brush past me
And I feel the touch of your skin against mine,
I get this thrill, this passionate feeling inside.
But when others see you brush on by
They see you brushing me off,
Like dust on your pants that you want to get rid of.

Every time I think back to all the signs
That all the others saw but I refused to see,
I realise that I never wanted to believe anything bad about you.
You were perfect to me but the others didn't agree.
While I was happily dreaming about you,
The rest of the world knew the truth...

For Philip

Where were you when my world fell a part

by NyellMoonlight

Hourglasses broken, omens darkened mystic clouds,
the mind is haunted by echoing distant wows;
crystal tears froze, scarlet venoms pour from the heart,
where were you when my world fell a part?

Promises breached, once again dipped in twisted lies,
my head became the dungeon, no more soaring to the highs,
cold and starless nights can't heal me, I knew from the start,
Where were you when my world fell a part?

Nocturnal melodies don't sip their tones for me anymore,
powerless and shattered, I'm not ready for the mind- war,
to give up all defenses, no, I'm not that smart
where were you when my world fell a part?

Tattered butterfly wings melted slowly on the ground,
learned my lessons, tend to scream, but no one's a round
kissed- goodbye all angels, demons of painful art,
where were you when my world fell a part?

And the winner is....

BLISSFUL TORTURE!!!!
