A Poem A Day, Authored By Me

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Hold Tight, Earth Spins Faster After Thou Art Born


Hold tight, earth spins faster after thou art born
and its days grip deeper into thy new soul.
Forever thy spirit's newfound loves will be torn
and each day's journey takes even a greater toll.

Nights thee rests under fair moon's beckoning glow
seeking to recant follies from past actions.
May thy path lead thee to truly, truly this know
fight cruelty with kind acts, as best reactions.

When found, thy love-heart has wandered far astray
retrace steps, ask for light to much better see.
Hold as a rock in each dark and horrific fray
for by doing so, lasting wisdom comes to thee.

When dark, evil thoughts thy mind dares to invade
Your soul depends on this, never ever thee trade.

Note- This is a presentation of a 35 year old poem that I have done major edits to(new verses now make up about 75%).
Thus I give it today's date and not the original date it was first drafted, decades ago.-Tyr

As Your Fruit Made Bitter Its Promised Sweets

When I said yes, I meant damn sure I do.
And in that declaration my soul lives.
Living meant more than we united two
You taught by saying, "one never forgives"!

Hell freezes before I stop loving you
Sworn vow, that you in hot-lust so soon broke.
Once glowing love's bright light shown on we two
Soon each promise you saw fit to revoke!

Dark deeds found great favor in your sad soul
As your fruit made bitter its promised sweets.
Your heart blacken as beating chunk of coal
As I fled deep hurts in my sad retreats!

Where once stood an orchard of lovely trees
Now holds barren ground, me upon my knees.

Note- Inspired by a sad event in my life , when I, as very young man, fell deeply in love with a beautiful but far too wild(even for me) sexy vixen..
Her memory burns hot but far, far deeper burns the massive pain she gave..

Baby, Baby, Lets Slow Dance In The Rain

Smiling she said, baby lets dance tonight
Baby, baby, lets dance on past midnight
Lets dance as before, you hold me so tight
Baby, lets bring our dreams back into sight

Baby, baby, lets slow dance in the rain
Baby, baby, lets slow dance once again

Then, she got his ten million dollar smile
She had so dearly missed it for awhile
That night, her wish happily sprang to life
That eternally she would be his wife

Baby, baby, lets slow dance in the rain
Baby, baby, lets slow dance once again

Smiling she said, tomorrow just one more
Passionate kiss, darling I do implore
And a bit tighter if you do not mind
Darling, we are best, we will ever find

Baby, baby, lets slow dance in the rain
Baby, baby, lets slow dance once again

Note- I placed this as Romanticism, yet perhaps better would have been identified- as in lyric form..Tyr
