Slayed Poetry

by The Shadow

I have lost my sense of poetry,
My muse dashed the hopes I’d held.
I have healed some of the hurt
I allowed myself to be so exposed.
I let them rush in fast at me.
Talking every minute, every day
With someone for as long as I had.
I lost some of myself with them.
I took on a role too, I was king
Mr. In charge and she said yes sir
That’s how it went, heaven forbid
I fail to be in charge or fallible.
Each mistake I lost their respect
Ultimately lost them, though granted
With all women I have dated
It was I who ended it.

Being without her was hard.
It was being without the tides
but it made me think on things
On the uselessness of romanticism.
Aniya no doubt feels my wall.
The hesitancy I have in every step.
I love myself, that could be enough
but her love meant everything.
I have lost my muse.
No flowery poems of devotion
Flowing from my pen.
Words to be thrown away so easily?
How I envy simplicity
Almost wish I wasn’t an author,
A poet now.
Does she even care that I can’t

Across the Sea

by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Reeled back in once again
My heart can’t be forgiven
Love, only you I long
My soul crys the raven’s song
Anika Sora, the sky falls
Cuz I don’t have you at all
I would give anything
That my princess here with me
Alas I am a lonely king
And my dreams live across the sea

To Stone (2011)

by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Don’t think ill of me
I feel like sand
Sand under pressure
Turns to stone once more
Love I know that doubt
In the sub-spaces of my mind
Is not who I really am
My heart isn’t ice
Remember it melted away
To the warmth of your love

Lost Work

by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Every line, every verse I wrote today
Lost, an entire page of poems written
But like a fickle woman it did not stay
I wrote of love, and of pain ALAS!
What kind of curse is this that it’s gone
An hour of writing, like lost song
I will mourn my paper of poems
And hold myself high and remain headstrong

Lady of Sky

by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Like vapour on the wind
You run through my fingers.
What I did I can’t defend.
Will my guilt forever linger?
I write line after line
Of love lorn sorrow eternal.
Sora, the sky isn’t mine!
This battle of fire is internal.
Grasping at the dirt of earth
I am in desperate plea.
Something, perhaps loves rebirth
I need you to break me free!
The walls around my paper heart
Might seem insurmountable.
Beloved, when we’re apart
I feel insecure, border unstable.
Is it weakness to confess this pain?
Would you no longer call me king?
Without your love I feel insane
Your withdrawl from dreams has such sting

Agony

by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Here we go on the spinning wheel
The world bizzare and I lost
Who could profess such to me
No! It’s not I at sanities cost
For Mars I was never enough
For Seattle I loved to much
Misty, my crystal dream, died young
And I live without a womans touch
No, none could love me
I despair how am I like this
Such is my pain, eternal agony
I thought I knew now I’m broken

Her Silence

by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Do I lose hope, give up faith
Is it all lost to me
Every moment, every dream
I keep chasing a lost fantasy

Her silence during my hour
Like a knife against my chest
Added to the wounds to my back
Even now my heart gets no rest

I want to rest myself in her
Kiss her lips and gaze her face
My heart cautious, optimistic
I know it is not my love I misplace
