Once upon a saddened heart

a memory I would find

skies of blue and shades of you

dance within my mind.

Frozen dreams and summer scenes

beckon me with splendor

days forever I recall

a time of love and wonder.

But upon a second glance

my heart so longed to show

a chance to love you in this life

I would never know.

Cinderella, Cinderella

Where have you been...

Have you been to the valley

and the city of sin?

Have you given your heart

to all things brand new...

do you run with the Jester

has he made you a fool?

Where is that girl

of innocence and youth...

Sadness for eyes

a reflection of truth.

Cinderella, Cinderella

Where have you been...

Have you been to the valley

and the city of sin?

Cinderella, Cinderella

quickly my child...

Such beauty you have

but just for awhile.

My secret told

within this poem

bound within

my soul...

for it was on

a darkened night

I first met

Father Poe.

And like a father

he spoke of me

proud to give

me life.

Tonight I visit

one as he...

the poet

you call "Night".

"Never More" 

said I...

behold I live

again.

Alive within

this verse and rhyme

born of ink

and pen.

I pray the rain

come tumbling down...

to soothe the souls

and saddened frown.

To cleanse the pain

of those who cry...

to wash away

the reasons why.

To take away

the sound of sorrow

and send them love

come tomorrow.

In dark despair

what do we gain?

I pray The Lord...

send Heavens Rain.

The sky was sprinkled

white with sugar

and each one 

spoke of life.

I smiled as heaven

sang it's song

and moonlight

filled the night.

The goodness danced

across the sky

as night came home

to play...

and the peace

within my heart

rivaled that

of day.

Never more

shall sadness fill

this joyful soul

of mine...

for solace 

in this gentle night

my heart

did surely find.

Not knowing where the day would go

or if the sun would shine...

But still I walked the way I would

not knowing what I might find.

I traveled far and I traveled near

from here to back again...

I've seen the world and loved a girl

making foe and friend.

But never would I have found these things

save a poem was spoken...

for wisdom and the worth of man

begins with roads less taken.

Against an ever

darkening sky

In my mind

I question why.

I've watched the dream

come and go

I've felt the heart

beat ever slow.

I will not let

the sadness win

I face each morning

once again.

Soon a smile

I wear once more

and every dream

an open door.

Fallen angel

don't you cry

broken wings

won't let you fly.

Love has come

to set you free

you're wings I'll mend

come fly with me.

Fallen angel

don't you sigh

I'll be forever

by your side.

Fallen angel

cry no more

the world is yours

till heavens door.

I saw it first

in broken flight

with wings a frayed

in dark of night.

No words were spoken

except to say...

you saw me not

now look away.

It's eyes were yellow

a speckled gold

it spoke a language

from days of old.

My heart beat fast

as fear closed in

what was this creature

in forest glen.

When I was a child

I saw darkness fall...
