One day our angel was here on Earth
One day he left the Earth
We loved him dearly but never knew
How much we did until now
He lies in our hearts forever
Just because he was special to us
We all know now we'll see you again in Heaven one day
And talk about the great times we had
We will be able to see your smiling face
And hear your voice as it was just yesterday
Every time a tear falls it's a possibility
That's because we miss you lots
When we hear your name we would look at the sky
Put two fingers on our lips and blows a kiss to Heaven
And end it with a peace sign to show we honor you

IN MEMORY OF "OUR ANGEL" CHAD # 31
Melissa Messick©

What beauty what grace
the soft smile upon
her face
her hair of red gold blows in the breeze
I lose myself in her eyes with ease

Simple beads a crown upon her head
gems would be no more precious in their stead
the plain silk gown that she wears
takes on the quality of royal airs

Held captive here in this thorny prison
at my approach shadow creatures have arisen
no concern for what happens to me
I must do all to set her free

I draw my sword in order to hack through
she calls out, hold brave sir, I beg of you
consider a moment there is a chance
this is not as you perceive at first glance

Would not my gown be tattered and torn
if I tried to escape this prison of thorn
and my arms and hands covered with scars
should I wish release of these briary bars

The shadowy creatures that you see
they are just to protect me
from all that is not good and pure
so it is not as you thought I am sure

I remain here of my own free will
should all else be gone I would be here still
the keeper of souls for all of this land
I hope now sir that you understand

Forgive me M'Lady I did not know
now that I do I will quickly go
for now my heart with joy is leaping
I place my soul too in your hand for safe keeping

The moon glistens upon her silken locks of hair,
Reflections glint in her effervescent blue eyes
Soft smooth skin reveals not, her age
Time has been kind to this Nymph Sage

She is daughter to the woodland sprites and dryads
With a smile that is of enchantment and mystery
Her kisses of magic that touches the wind,
Echoing her dream of desires breezes across your skin

Your heart beats with emotions askew,
Passions blazed with love anew
To the nymph's call of love
Ringing in your ears echoing,
As soft as the cooing of a dove

"Come to me my love,
Come to me and dance"
"Our time for love is now,
Come and take the chance"

"Very little time is left, I fear,
For my time to leave is near"
"Time for us to become one,
Before the rising of the Sun!"

Drifting into the arms of your dream lover,
Two hearts destined to be
Lovers frolicking and dancing into the night,
Brings memories of you and me
Queen.Amethyst©

Guardian eyes
protecting my heart
as my soul rests.
Encamping about me,
allowing me peace..
in this moment.
Mind adrift,
wishing upon stardust.
Breathing...
scattering it slowly
into the night.
Suddenly..
as my wishes are
carried away,
cool breezes flow
over me.
Release..
of what might
have been..
Acceptance
of what is..
Hope..
for what is to come.

She lurks in mist of the thickets
Her beauty only fair
All the nymphs are so beautiful
What happened asks she dare

Her garment purple with passion
Forms softly on her frame
She closes her eyes to dream
Of beauty she wishes to gain

She releases the light of her spirit
The magic comes from her soul
So gentle, softly bubbling
As eyes are wide aglow

Reaching out to catch her spirit
The delicate crystal spheres
They release their inhibitions
Extinguishing all her fears
gigi©

There among the brambles
I imagine that pixie
she becomes vivid
in my dream world
I see
the color purple
symbolizing hope
eyes closed tight
illustrates a birthday wish
with eyes scowling
with curiosity
yet melancholy
visions of obscurity
aha
twinkles of mysticism
land upon the palm
symbolizing a memento
beams of flashbacks
recollections
grasp tightly
hold on always
keeping the dreams
making them reality

Life is a journey of Love and Sadness...
Love will live forever and sadness is forgotten...
Only time will show you this greatness...
Without the angels dust life is rotten...

I go searching for my angel, but she is always just out of reach...
My heart has tasted her warmth, she still has more to teach...
She blew her dust on my soul, and now I am on my own...
Please don't leave me all alone...

I once thought Lust was love...
How wrong I was, the answers came from above...
Don't be so quick to say it is done...
Or you will miss all the fun...

That Hug, that look into your eyes, shows me I still love you...
Or is this just angel dust you blew...
Each day is the same, forever blue cause I love her...
I did my best, life did the rest, no tears to cry I feel blue forever...

I don't want nobody, I was happy with you...
I never said I love you but you know I do...
I can't believe it's over, but there she goes...
My angel where has your dust gone, it smelled like a rose...

Is this just another chapter of my story...
or is it for me to relive the pain and all its glory...
My soul is growing empty with this game of lust...
Where is my Angel dust...

winds blowing from the west and from the east
somber soothness from the north and pain from the south
opposing forces and contradictions that belie sanity
the mind like an alien world froth with drought

Lord help her conquer the misery and confusion
that permeates the fragility of her mind
where is the peace and contentment of being five
where is the value of a intellect refined

the core of truth faith temperance and knowledge
sustains from lies doubt immoderation and ignorance
innocence flowing carried by the east wind
dividing light from bleak, rose petals spewing thru a spiny expanse

windows to the world closed, feel the softness of her skin
steely blue not evil black not explosive optimism of pastel
harmful perceptions blown by the winds of the west
musing wondering can west be east can suspicions be quell

hope and salvation are close at hand a wish a dream
she holds the answer poised in her hand is it fantasy
delicate and soft with a heaviness needing support
a wisp of breathe a gentle nudge a flight of fancy

a chair of thorns to remind her of life's inequities
tentacles reaching upward unswayed by the gales
of beautiful thoughts joy determination and resolve
inhumanity lurking in the unforgiving darkness impales

creatures lurking hidden by the dark prickly bramble
reaching to pull her down into the briar patch quills
tormented and sightless mind living in her own world
deep down a balancing glimmer of solace among the chill

O to rise above the median into the quiet measure
imperfect as it is blossoms appear hither and there
ghostly phantoms abound amid the benign subtlety
a man frozen a woman passive others seem not to care

is this the best she can do is this her future
do not despair this is one step another tier a plateau
rise rise above the dim consciousness of clutter
into the glorified tranquility that we can never fore know

a pellucid sensitive mind searching for fulfillment
wanting to be carried over the chaos and pitiless calm
thinking pure thoughts and unselfish love
hope, a source held and launched from a quivering palm

white hot nucleus she grimaces in pain
a star of purity to cleanse the profane
a spot of sunshine to illuminate the way
a speckle of color to stimulate the brain

please lord clear the clutter

Quietly she sits and ponders
Her mind, it drifts and wonders
Surrounded by her hopes and dreams
All is not as it seems

Fairies, Gnomes, nymphs and trolls
Between , betwixt, the dreams they hold
Dreamy eyes and wishes held
Her days and nights all are but felled

Wishes made do not come true
It would not happen, this she knew
Still she hopes and awaits her fate
Walking slowly, passes through the gate

Could this be the new world she did seek
They watch her carefully and do not speak
Softly she walks, so meek, so sweet
Who is the one she is to meet

She closes her eyes perchance to see
Is the future as it should be
Or is it as it may seem
All and all, perchance a dream

Amongst the growth
Of thorns and demons
Surrounded by evil
The maiden knelt
Extending her palm
Prepared to endure the upheaval
But as she closed her eyes
To the beasts
She opened her heart
And she felt at peace
As the light of life
Erupted in her hand
The soul of the heavens
Followed her command
And the demons tuned
To fairies of song
And beasts frightened
Quickly scurried along
And there she stayed
Amongst the growth
Of life and fairies.
Nightscribe©

In winter's death she settles in
Amongst the barren bloom.
A maiden fair with golden hair,
She lights the dark and gloom.

With magic hands, she conjures up
A bit of fairy dust
That sparkles as it swirls and bobs
Against each windy gust.

Carried through the air it lands
Upon each withered bough.
A gentle stroke of pastel pink
Lies buried in them now.

But along with Spring's first warming rays
Of sun-kissed misty dew,
Their vibrant color will burst forth
A fragrant rosy hue.

From of the baying of the christian hounds
The last remaining druid flees.
Among her fallen brethren
She finally goes to ground.

She sends her mind to seek her followers
but they are few and far away.
Disciples have all been subverted,
converted or killed by the religious curs.

Gathering the remnants of her remaining strength
her magic she condenses.
She concentrates her energy
to send a psychic link along the timeline's length.

At last, a glimpse of the people that she seeks
existing far off in the future
in the modern version of this land
a group of believers often known as freaks

A breath to send her magic before she is overrun,
blown across space and time
to be received with open arms
by the the believers known as Wiccan.

A seed of hope is planted, her destiny is done
she turns to face the zealous dogs.
With her death, the Christians rejoice
for they believe the religious war is won

I saw Six walking in the middle of the night.
She had six fairies with a glow shining so bright.
She sings for the forest although it is her deed.
I wandered alone to see the mist that bleeds.
Six asked me to stay for only one week.
I just might return to hear her magic speak.

Sticks and twigs come to life
Know your secrets and your strife
Dance and play beyond your sight
Understand them well if you might

Good and Evil lives one place
The same, I think, behind our Face
Dreams of living happy pleasure
In our hearts stored like treasure

Beguile our souls with what might be
Offered up only for our mind to see
Tortured feelings Lost and Black
Reality conspires to bring you back

Leaves and branches have sharp eyes
And remember well your desperate lies
The Sparkling dust of truth and fact
Reminds a mind that's gone off track

Pale and smooth your body now
Time will change that picture somehow
Voices speak and help you feel
The brown and green that soon will seal
A fate of time and circumstance
When fairies bold will take a chance

Where is your feeling this enchanted evening?
Does it mingle with a woodland greening?
Or hold you back from being whole
And adopting well your chosen role?

Whispers come from dark recesses
Forest shadows bring cool caresses
Answer quick and move your feet
Own the power, good and sweet
Know the feeling that sets you free
That what you are can someday be

Bellefaere ..... Bellefaere
You are the Dream of my Hope
You rise from the brambles of my thorny past
You grant me strength to cope
With demons and devils who inhabit my days
Who keep my Light bound fast

But as I try to reach for you
To touch your shining face
Amidst the twisted, piercing brier
Grown thick within this place
I call my Heart, I call my home,
This tangled, wicked space
I'm left with just my Hope that you
Will stay but a moment more
And whisper your wish of love for me;
To your parent-gods implore
That we might find our way from here
Out of this nightmare's roar

Bellefaere ..... Bellefaere

Within the forest dark and deep
the woodland nymph doth play
at night she puts the trees to sleep
and paints the mushrooms gray

Her temple is the green wood grove
where fairy fold doth live
within her grasp a treasure trove
of riches she may give

Piled high the bags of fairy dust
all bursting at the seams
the bulging chests of elfin trust
and magical moonbeams

Sometimes to brighten up the night
she saves a few sunbeams
then blows the sundrops into flight
in blackness floats and gleams

The tree trolls guard her as she plays
so none may cause her harm
through endless nights and endless days
she spins her magic charm
Sir_Sun©

Though she cried out in fear they cared not what she had to say
The impish tree spirits and fairies would just continue on their way
Being the only elf in fairyland made her something quite unique
Because elfin magic was strong, while fairy dust was getting weak
Sure it could make them invisible or light enough to take flight
But elfin magic was strong enough to hold back the dark of night
Never could fairies hope to hold an elf, even one as young as she
But she had been taken at birth and had no understanding of free
When the time is right they would dance around invoking all her fears
Hoping to bathe in a shower of her magically empowering elfin tears
Wept dry again she was left to ponder her life, her reason, her fate
But all she had was time to gather her tears and build upon her hate

In our lives exists a place
where thorns and thistle are common
and entanglements lurk
around every corner
Seduced by the breath of death
this black hole of conscious
filled to the brim plays havoc
on a worrisome mind
Filled with agonies and dreads
familiar and our choices
appear futile at best
Struggling to escape
unyielding torments
and false passions expressed
a stranglehold of embrace
While false pride wears a crown
blooming with ivy upon a frown
of scorn and regret
In this innermost sanctum
darkness prevails
as mental darts sail
between sanity and madness
And with outstretched hands
we try to conceal
our innermost thoughts
fearsome albeit revealing
Possibly serenity sleeps
in this bed of agitation
lying dormant awaiting
a resurrection of love
Oh, but to feel the essence of love
as it heals the broken heart
revived, refreshed and renewed
Soothing as a sprinkle of stardust
Serenity would rise from this bed of torment
Reina©

Tiny little wonder hear my plea
I am trapped in a world where I don't belong
losing all hope for escape
constantly under their watchful eye
tangled amongst the thickets.

Most days I lay here wondering
why they have such a hold on me
but each time I try to leave
the softness of my skin becomes bruised
and my hair becomes entangled in thorns.

Perhaps because I'm different
they keep me here on display
not realizing the damage they've caused
keeping me from my loved ones.

Listen well as I tell you of my plight
normally too proud to ask for assistance
but as you can see I have reached the end
of the tolerance for the faces
watching nearly every movement
and hearing every breath that I take.

Cherishing the memories of better times
praying that my imprisonment will soon be over
fly with the wind my sweet little wonder
you are my newfound hope
that better days lie ahead.

Hurry along as I blow a kiss to the wind
guiding your flight until your wings take over
carrying you toward home
tell my loved ones where you found me
and send them quickly
before I become so torn
that they would not recognize me.

You are my hope, my shining light
the faces are stirring, they know you're here
fly with the wind my little wonder
rescue me from a world where I don't belong.

Gnomes and fairies, nymphs and sprites
Keep the elf within their sights
She knows they're there for she can hear
Every sound attuned a pointed ear
Yet she blocks them out and concentrates
On what the magic within creates
Released from her hand she sends
The force on which her life depends
The connection she feels with the Earth
Has been with her since her birth
Becoming stronger day by day
It pulls her gently along her way
Towards the ever present source
Of the Earth's life-giving force
Shadow Whysper©

Hidden in the forest of life
Searching for a meaning
Overwhelmed with many trials
As listening to silence singing

Embracing the thorns of a rose
Wilted from sorrow and lack of care
For one was stricken by the bristle
Seeing not the beauty to share
Rays of an angelic light
Held carefully within her hand
Inhaling deeply all riches
Created throughout this land
Sweet memories of the birth
Enchanted moments at no cost
Bring forth a pleasure to all
In a forest where love will nare be lost.
Princess LoveStar©

Faith ...........she says,
I’ll find it here somewhere
It has been here before
and I’ll not leave before it is born

Though through the prick of a thorn
does it come here to speak
during the midst of the ages
only finding mercy at the will of the meek.

All lost souls.......
breathe the breath of my very air
for when you partake
it’s a journey
undoubtedly, full of care

Take this dust from my hand
So that the images around
me will understand
that during life’s waiting
they will come to see
that faith can be recaptured
in the beauty you see
