A Wondrous Garden.

A Wondrous Garden.
_______________

Not long ago, I
was ready for
The Dirt..and
Death stood
knocking on
My Hearts
Closed Door..

but thankfully
Love answered
First!

(To show me
Worlds I had
never known
Before.)
__

Her Smile
challenges The
Devils in My
Head..

asking them
to Dance,..

while filling my
Thoughts with
Angels instead!

(Transforming
Ancient Horrors
into Romance.)
_

Now the Dirt
is a Wondrous
Garden..

Where Flowers
Bloom from
The Once Dead
Earth..

and My
Darkened
Heart (by this
Goddess) is
Pardoned!

So that I
May Witness
now My Souls
Rebirth.

Down the Crimson Halls.

Down the crimson
halls I hear...
insanity..scratching
it's name across
the walls.
(in mocking-cheer.)

"come closer...
closer little lamb."
(the Shadow soothes.)

"into the parlor
of the Damned."

(where Broken
Flowers lie
Abused.)
_

Here it's always
so damn cold..
so empty,..Dark..
and stripped of
Purpose.

Thus It matters not
what Romantic Myths
The Angels Told!

(in the End One's
Heart is Worthless.)
__

Down these Crimson
Halls I tread...
with babbling voices
in my Head..

writing Curses
on The Wall..
(inspiring
Mortal Dread.)

while Hoping
that I do not Fall!

(into the Parlor
of The Dead.)

Once upon a time
I was a Madman...
fretting to and fro..
in a room full of smoke..
and Ghosts.

The cold walls
alone could not
contain the insanity
in my Head;
no matter how much
they screamed.
(or bled.)
_

Then,
Love found me,
in my Crazed state,
and restored my
sanity. (before it
was too late.)

Now the World
is Perfect..and
Beautiful.

(a Paradise
full of Grace.)

This is LIFE.

This is Life.
(a poem formed from
a conversation with a Friend.)

You make me remember
My Youth...

When romance freshly
blossomed..

this is it...

(I am Happy)...

This is LIFE...

A Friend has found Love!..

while the other looks on in
pleasure and envy..

(simultaneously)

Giving thanks to God for his
own Blesse'd Partnership.

This is LIFE...

Nothing more, nor less...

exchanging good feelings through
a Happy medium...

this is it...

(LIFE.)

In the 21st Century...

With LOVE a Sacred Muse...

Show me...my friend..

(how Beautiful she is to You.)

at your own leisure..

for I am a third party here..

And this is LIFE.

(May you Live it in
Good Cheer.)

your smile

Your Smile Haunts
me like a Pretty
Ghost who strangely
sings my Heart to
Life once More.

Angels Bleed 
from The Strings..
so Beautifully.

On this
Moonlit Night
Without Suffering..
in which I'm Free!

to meditate on
Love's Delight.

(which has recently
found me.)
_

Oh..If I live to
be Timeless..
this shall Go
Down in History..
as the Inspiration
which brings forth..
(my Souls Release.)

my love. (because of thee.)

My Love,

Because of Thee,..
No more do Phantoms
stalk my Heart,..
or fill my Head with
Horror Scenes!

(for you have
replaced them
with Angelic
Dreams.)

Never before
has such Love
come upon me..
that I sat breathless
at my Writing Desk..
trapped in  perfect
Thoughts of thee..
recalling the words
of 100 Dead Men!

(who Live Forever
as Poetic Saints within
my Restless Memory.)

Love...
MY Love!!!

Because of Thee..
The Nightmare Days
I once had know..
shall be My Greatest
Dreams!

(now..and for
Eternity.)

J.Stephen.H.

For you Nardine,
my perfect Love..
my One and
Everything...
My Godsent
Messenger
from above!!

(who has Eased
My Grim Soul's
Suffering.)
