Thanx.Deep in the night I sit and wait.
I wait for the call,
That feeling I only get from you.
Will you come? Will you be here?
How long will I wait?
Will it be forever?
Deep in the dark I feel so lonesome
Knowing that you’re out there.
Hoping that you’re happy.
Praying that you’re safe.
Wishing that my heart and presence
Will draw you near.
Deep in the shadows, alone in my thoughts
I feel you draw near.
No longer shall the moon be my only friend,
The stars no longer my light.
But you,
Only you.

Hey kittens!
Suddenly, I've been having these poetic surges bursting out of me and I had been asked in my last poem's if I had any more poetry. So I thought that since I've been writing more lately, I'd post them in a new thread. I keep thinking of things through the mind of Tara... basically these are about Willow.
It's been kinda different for me to write in this rhyming prose. I don't usually write this way (not that I write poetry that often - just lately having these sudden urges). I feel like a jester or something speaking the prologue in a Shakespearean play. Oh well. Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated.
But, please be gentle. :a Pweeazze??? lolHere goes...
********************
I’d always felt alone in the world
Until you came into mine.
There’d been nothing for me ever to hold
In all the years gone by.
Nothing had ever brought joy to me
So much as time spent with you.
Now my heart is filled with so much glee
Because I gave it to one who’s so true.
Never in my life have I felt so loved
By one I truly adore.
Our lives entwined, the fates have spun,
I pray forever more.
*********************
An Ode to Willow
Willow is the one I truly love,
She must’ve come down from up above.
I swear that she’s perfect in every way
And is always there to brighten my day.
Her smile is sweet. So gentle, her touch.
I still can’t believe how I love her so much.
When I feel lost, I just think of her face.
The next thing I know, I’m no longer displaced.
She lights up my life with all she may be,
I never thought I’d know a life filled such glee.
It’s not hard to know, when push comes to shove
That Willow is the one I truly love.

==========================================
A new poem just came upon me... I just wrote it this minute....
**********
Darkness came,
Shadows fell,
Caused by moonlit glow.
A match was struck,
The candles lit,
Inside the wiccas' room.
Spells were cast,
Incantations said,
Blessed be it was.
The night was long,
They went to bed,
And together they made love.

==========================================
I'm taking a new turn on the poetry. This poem is actually written from Willow's point of view. I guess it's kinda season 4-ish... around the time of "Who are You?". Any feedback is always greatly appreciated
***********
Will You Let Me Take You?
Will you let me take you
As everything in my life?
My hope, joy, sadness, glee;
Everything meaningful.
Will you let me take you
To share you with my friends?
With courage, strength and knowledge.
Such powerful weaponry.
Will you let me take you
Deep into the night?
For romance, kisses and caresses.
Intimate love we share.

==========================================
I wrote this one this morning. It's kinda shorter than mu usual, but hey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know that you are near
When light shines upon me
I know that you are near.
When the sweetest scents fill my senses
I know that you are near.
When feelings of awe overwhelm me
I know that you are near.
And when I hear your call my name
I know that you are near.

The Depths of the Night
How many times had I felt so alone
Deep in the depths of the night?
But one faithful day you came along
And filled my life with radiant light.
Life had always treated me bad
But now it has turned to bliss.
I had often wondered in those lonely nights
If life could ever come to this.
My heart can feel so free now
Like birds in uncharted flight.
Because all that I am can love you
Deep into the depths of the night. [/i]

"...the hardest thing in this world is to live in it..."
~Buffy, The Gift.
==========================================
This one's from Tara's point of view:
I used to cry.
I used to cry all the time.
Though the sobs were silent.
The tears: invisible.
I guess you could say I cried every night.
I’d felt pain.
I felt it all the time.
Though nobody noticed.
I’d been mentally tortured.
The abuse was just always there.
Now you’re here.
You’re here all the time.
Though we may be different,
Our hearts feel the same.
The connection is so surreal.
I feel loved.
I feel it all the time.
Though sometimes I get scared,
You are here for me.
Life now feels so good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one's from Willow's POV, I guess it would be quite early in their relationship. Kinda around "New Moon Rising"- timish:
I see it in your eyes.
All the pain you’d gone through.
The sadness, suffering and misery;
A burden I’d have carried for you.
I cannot turn back the clock now.
Though I really wish I could.
But I make this pledge, a solemn vow
To show you how life can be so good.
I love you with all my being.
I’ve never felt this way before.
My heart and soul I give to you
To keep forever more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one's Tara's POV again. I'd say about the same timing as the previous poem:
Do you think that you could love me?
Though I am nothing much?
Do you think that you would care for me?
Would you make the fuss?
Do you think that I am worth it?
Would it take too much of your time?
Do you think it’s too much effort?
To have me linger on your mind?
Do you think that I could hold you?
Through the goodness and the strife?
Do you think that I could love you?
All the days, the rest of my life?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one, I'm not so sure if it's completely W/T. I mean, the initial inspiration was Willow's dream in "Restless" (possibly because I'd just woken up from a disturbing dream), but then it looked like the first stanza was kind LoTR related. The last two stanzas, esp. the second last kinda reminds me of "The Craft". *shruggs* Go figure:
The nights would be so restless.
The days, so very unclear.
The shadows fell upon us
And filled our hearts with fear.
The only light given were moonbeams.
The stars were no help at all.
Tears kept running like water in streams
And no one could answer our call.
Dangerous thoughts have crossed my mind.
Everything’s so surreal.
My powers to you, I give to bind
So that with clear thoughts I can deal.
The deed has been done and I’m free now.
Thank you for pulling me out of that hell.
I no longer fear the sky and clouds
And I feel that all will be well.

==========================================
A new poem had dawned upon me at last! One not written from either of our girls' perspective but from a humble shipper's. Please, let me know what you think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sparks of the spell twisted and turned
They engulfed the wiccas’ room.
What they conjured was a powerful source;
The key to their enemy’s doom.
The magic they shared was potent and strong,
Though nothing compared to their love.
These bonds were gifts spun by the fates.
Something that joined them as one.
Magic had brought them together at first,
But nothing can keep them apart.
For the love they share is eternally blest,
Rooted deep in the depths of their hearts.

==========================================
This one was something I wrote earlier this week. I was pretty down. It was inspired by a few things... mainly mixed with things from Willow and Tara and my own personal experiences. All feedback will be greatly appreciated.
~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
Do you know what it’s like to feel the walls tear down?
To feel unsafe and scared of yourself?
Do you ever wonder what you're capable of?
To know that you’re the only one who can give you help?
Have you ever felt that you’d gone insane?
That you’d lost your better half?
Did you think you’d never be whole again?
So many questions you just have to ask.
Have you ever lost the one you loved?
Knowing that it was all your fault?
Did you fight your way to get them back?
But found your love came to a halt?
Though some may think you’re free now,
Do you feel like you’re locked in a cage?
That life just likes to torment and hurt you?
That you’re heart is filled with rage?
Have you ever felt so angry?
Like you’re the one to blame?
Were you unsure if you did something wrong?
Were you afraid of this unknown shame?
Has the earth felt like it’d break at your feet?
Or the sky would fall from above?
Had you felt that you would sink and die?
No matter how you’d push or shove?
Did you ever fall in then out of love?
Then hurt someone you knew?
Had you known that it wasn’t meant to be?
And turned right into a shrew?
Have you chased and searched for that one to hold?
The one you’d never want to leave?
To find that they had gone before you came?
They’d left your heart uneased?
Did you feel like you could win their heart?
Could you keep them safe and snug?
Would they keep you ‘till your dying days?
Would you know that you’re in love?

==========================================
Here's another piece I just wrote. We're just about to get season6 down here (at bloody last!), and this was kinda an end-of-s5 inspired thing. It's from Tara's point of view, remembering what it was like before Willow had restored her...
=================
Though the darkness had encircled me
I’d yearned to see your face.
I searched to find you everywhere
But you’d left without a trace.
I felt so lost and lonely:
The most scared I’d ever been.
I was always tumbling and falling
… So surreal… a ferocious dream.
Feeling that way would’ve killed me
As I know it really could.
But I put my faith in you and our love
And you found me, as I knew you would.

Well, I just remembered about my first W/T poem and how it was alll on its lonesome way back in its own thread. I don't know hpw many people have seen it, so I just thought I'd repost it here. I think I wrote it about 2 months ago. This is the original message I had written before it:
I just wrote this while thinking about Tara sitting in her room at the end of "New Moon Rising". I think the courage and the selflessness she shows in this episode is so admirable and just shows how much of a wonderful person she really is.
===========================
Deep in the night I sit and wait.
I wait for the call,
That feeling I only get from you.
Will you come? Will you be here?
How long will I wait?
Will it be forever?
Deep in the dark I feel so lonesome
Knowing that you’re out there.
Hoping that you’re happy.
Praying that you’re safe.
Wishing that my heart and presence
Will draw you near.
Deep in the shadows, alone in my thoughts
I feel you draw near.
No longer shall the moon be my only friend,
The stars no longer my light.
But you,
Only you.

It feels like forever since I've been at the Kitten board - oh..... it would seem that a week can be an eternity. Anyway, I somehow got some inspiration late last night before I fell asleep. I'm not sure what I was inspired by exactly. It's not like I've seen the W/T break-up or anything - but I think that's what inspired me. Well, that and my own. I'm not too sure. As usual, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve pulled out the ladder and climbed up the rungs.
You pass me the decorations to be hung.
They say it’s a party, but I’m not so sure.
They’ve put out the candy; they say it’s the cure.
The music’s put on, it’s blasting out loud.
Nothing fantastic, but it pleases the crowd.
They could dance all night; they’ve nothing to fear.
But I feel my heart sadden. Down my face, runs a tear.
There’s so much to say, but no words could express
All the feelings inside: all the heartache and stress.
My head feels so light. I don’t think I should stay.
It’ll be for the best if I just go away.
