Endless Day

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: July 14th, 2009

Another endless day, I sit here, helpless, hopeless, In abject misery and dismay. Mind in turmoil, never a moment of rest, lonely, my endurance and sanity, each day put to the test.. Dark swirling waters, around me they flow. cold as ice, chilling to the soul, Drowning, drowning, caught in the undertow. The shrieking shadows [...]

Doves

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 18th, 2009

Eternity; Did you hear my words to you? Have you watched the sunset I made to bring you closer? I waited all night under the bridge on 2nd street; but like the long shadows under noontime sun; you never came. To a place we once called home, to a land of no birth go I. To the bridge between lands, under the lonely moon. To a hope I never [...]

Leaves

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 17th, 2009

Here we give away our caresses like so many beads, or perhaps as trees give away their leaves in the fall. Some things should be held in greater regard than these: to be kept in quiet boxes like leaves gathered in the fall. When we were only children. -Ezra Hilyer-

Becalmed

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 16th, 2009

Azure sea; Never forgotten amid becalmed storms. Once we were driftwood, Spread apart by sand, sun-bleached, but never faded. Tortured on sunny shores, Blazoned with wreaths of seaweed. Gifted with the sun.

Sorrows Silence

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 16th, 2009

In sorrows silence, In pains embrace, Lift up your head; raise your eyes to mine. My love cast far from me, this dessolate place. Lift me up, lift me up, free my bondage in time. When the sorrow of life, that crushing darkness, holds you fast- Look no more to the past. Glow the future, ruby promise of life. And the smile in your eyes, a [...]

Blood Of Brothers – Tatters

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 16th, 2009

Dip The Quill Deep in the blood of brothers, Paint Your soul red upon the parchment of life. Never regret nor ever forget the love of others, For when the cold light of love turns to strife- When the glory of life turns to ashes, and the pain long forgotten- In fear begotten. wells up again, in memory my love hold my hand. Shut fast thine [...]

Woodland Queen

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 15th, 2009

Her eyes linger in the moonlight, shadowed and serene. As the pale outlines of her beauty are muted by the rain. There is an aura of wildness about her, this woodland queen. She hides in the forest, an escape from the memory of love and pain. The Luna halo above, watches her through the tattered heavens. Sailing the sky, battling the dark [...]

You Touched My Face

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 14th, 2009

You touched my face; but killed my soul, your hand is covered in blood. I see your troubled eyes watching me from the shadows, And feel your hand on my heart. I shrink from you, I tremble at your voice, I fear your scent. You have made me the man I am; you are the pattern, I am the clay. -Ezra Hilyer-

Times Trance

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 14th, 2009

Looking out to sea, alone. A windswept expanse. My memory of you, the only comfort here on the sand. As I stand here. Yes I one. Caught in times trance. We danced here alone- to the beat of the surf and sand. When all was lost you were there, Now at last time has taken its own. And left me here, here all alone. From the cold sea you [...]

Tears On The Wind

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: June 11th, 2009

In the gathering black She stands alone. Forever apart, her features etched in stone. In a light all her own, She waits for the sea. For a forgotten tide that will never return. A single sail can still be seen, Ghostly, faint upon the waves. A trick of the shadows, a specter from long [...]
