Daniel:
It has been suggested that I translocate my poetry from the Chez Tremblay board to over here, so I hope you enjoy them.

Daniel:
Do not let me go into that dark night
By Daniel

Do not let me go into that dark night
Alone and cold in frozen moonlight
The tiny fire burns inside
Alive and warm, yet so far away
I can hardly wait for light of day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Isolated and distant from your sight
Let me stay by your side
Together and ever in romantic play
Night after night, day after day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Lonely and hurt without your delight
Come along for the ride
Loving and joyful will we ever stay
I rely on you so much, as the sun of the day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Sad and despairing because of your plight
In everything, I've never lied
Happy and hopeful, please come away
I am here for you, let's seize the day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Patient but hopeful, I feel your fright
It rushes over me like a rising tide
Yearning and insistent; come away, come away
Tomorrow can be a brand new day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Present and willing, let me be your might
But yet you still push me aside
Absent and resistant, have you nothing to say?
I fear the night but you hide in the day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Wanting, desiring with painful insight
This dark heat to which I'm tied
Avoiding, escaping your tragic play
I too am now silent in the day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Loving, deserving of love's height
I must from time to time abide
Hating, hurting myself this way
But it's something I need every day

Do not let me go into that dark night
Cold and alone. Its just not right
There is no greater divide
Warm and willing, but you had to wait
Now, dear friend, it is too late

I won't let you go into that dark night
Final and lasting, I see with your light
Over lost ashes I have cried
Renewing and eternal, I swear if I may
My love for you outshines the day.

Daniel:
But...
By Daniel


I'm here, I'm here!
His eyes laugh out
His lips aquiver with glee
But I barely twist my mouth
I just stand there silently.

I'm away from the truck
With a sideways glance
An anxious look crosses my face
But his grin reflects perennial dance
His quick movement closing space.

He smiles, he nods
His eyes meet mine
So full of hope and dreams
But I look away just in time
Nothing is what it seems.

With sour note
And bitter taste
I explain the situation
But his eyes dim with sudden haste
I face my own damnation.

His eyebrows sink
His smile fades
He blinks and looks away
But I say nothing to his face
There's nothing I can say.

He twists away
I feel him turn
A sharp and pulsing ache
But I still have so much to learn
Of love for love's sake.

Bereft, alone
I apologize
Yet knowing he'll be back
But tears well up in his eyes
My darling, darling Jack.

With tenderness
And sweet sorrow
He utters his goodbyes
But I never saw tomorrow
Nor thought that he might die.

Kea:
awwww Daniel...

I love the poem "But "...so beautifully written...

hugs

Daniel:
How Often
by Daniel

How often I have hoped for
A moment such as this
When moon with silver light
Shines down upon our kiss!

How often have you pulled away
From this sacred embrace
And walked away, not looking back
With a halting, shambling pace?

How often I have called your
Name in the middle of the night
And Felt the pain of loneliness
Without you in my sight.

How often have you looked aside
And tried to hide your fears
Unwilling to address them
Growing them over the years?

How often I have needed you
And burned with heated fire
Aching for even a single touch
From you, my heart's desire.

How often has your need for me
Been still and taciturn
When all I wanted was
To be needed in return?

How often I have wept clear tears
The blood of my heart's pain
Washing away the salty sorrow
With unfounded hope again.

How often have you pushed me back
self-hating and afraid?
I've tried to offer solace
You've turned away in shame.

How often has our love been
so totally ignored?
How often have we refused what
could sweetly be in store?
How often has swung open then closed
opportunity's door?
I can't count, can't stand it anymore.
