Queensley's Musings

1. That bitter anger

Met with refreshing sweetness,

Becomes melting snow.

S. L.

2. Star ships

She never understood why

But he still waited.

Remembering their chance encounter,

Feeling her in the still of the night,

Staring at the spot where her star ship touched down,

Feeling the wind play on his mind,

As her touch did on his skin,

And though not of his kind.

He knows she'll return to his waiting arms,

When the stars align just for them,

But she knows it'll never happen,

'Cause such is what the stars say.

3. A Warrior's Pain

My eyes spoke volumes

And lips quivered in pain,

Wanting to move,

At least say something,

Hands were unwilling,

Paper kept floating away,

Called by the breeze of hurt

And no words to bleed the pain with

Silence!

Utter silence!!

Maybe that would help

As against this ringing in my ears.

This pounding that keeps hounding me,

Telling me to do something,

Helpless and alone,

I stand tonight.

A lonely warrior-

Fighting..

Wishing..

For her love by her side,

But knowing he's gone,

Never to return.

4. Prisoner

Catapulted through storms,

Ascending from depths stringing me on,

Spirals of death that entangle me,

Capitulating still

Known to all yet wanted by.

Wanderer of the seven seas,

Resistance the watchword,

And while these battles are won,

I'm left defeated.

Scavenged and sorrowful,

A victim by choice,

Delving in horrors unexplored,

Fresh start on wounds paled and forgotten.

Drinking fear and terror sparked anew,

A cemetery of lies,on threshes revived,

Broken bones and hope.

S. L.

5. Soul's Art

From within the monster,

Hidden in the furs of despair,

Protected by the pain,

Encased in the void.

Nursed by the hurt,

The oyster of sadness,

At the heart of it all,

An awakening.

Towers of strength,

The taming of emotion,

Long eclipsed by wounds of times and memories past,

Bursting springs of beauty.

The Pearl is discovered,

To quell the monster and his struggles,

A noble voice,

Penning down feelings.

Some random,

Some true to self,

But holding secrets in their words,

Could be a thousand.

But all's summed,

In one so true and deep

Art!

6. Elfchen

Promises

Commitments made

Heart's true rhythm

Holding on to forever

Love

S. L.

7. Emotion - The Pendulum

Swinging me back and forth,

My mind ticking away,

With thoughts and words

Hands not moving.

Unable to pen down these feelings,

Filled with words,

Yet utterly empty,

Devoid of a voice with which to speak.

S. L.

8. What better tonic for a saddened soul than friends who stick close to us to lift us up

9. Sun Princess

She's my beautiful princess,

Draped in the rays of the sun,

Poised to receive their luminous kisses,

Not a care in the world.

Except to get the picture perfect pose,

The sun hitting her skin,

Barely human with the blinding glow,

Working to cloud my brain

And stop my heart

I can't get her out of my head,

She's my sun princess!

S. L.
