Lover's Masquerade

By Christopher Goben

Lovers behold many of masquerades when it comes to the ball of the heart. There they will hind behind the mask of society when love is taboo to their world. Hiding away their tears of blood, that flows in agony and dismay. Yet lovers will long for stolen moments of passion in a hidden world of shadows.
Like these I bring to you here in this gathering of poems of the broken heart. I give you a look at love that redeems beyond the thoughts of the common man. As one will come to understand that love can be sweet it is always a bitter feat. So now I take you on the dance of a Lover’s Masquerade.

LOVER’S MASQUERADE

(POEMS OF LOVE FROM THE HEART)

WRITTEN BY: CHRISTOPHER GOBEN

I DEDICATE THIS BOOK

LOVER’S MASQUERADE

TO ALL WHO HAVE EVER BEEN IN LOVE AND KNOW THE DEEPEST FEELINGS OF LOVE AT IT’S BEST.

AWAITING MY LOVE

I AM A LOST SOUL SO STRICKEN AND FILLED WITH GREAT SORROW AND SO ALONE.

AS I AM FOREVER CURSED BY THIS DARK WORLD FOR ALL THE EARTH HAS SHOWN.

BITTERNESS IS ALL THAT’S LEFT OF THESE TEARS OF MY DARK DECEPTION OF LONELY DISMAY.

TELL ME TO WHAT GREAT REASON MUST I LIVE, WHILE DEATH MUST NOT DELAY?

WHERE IS THE LIGHT OF MY PITIFUL LIFE, SHE WHO IS MY ONLY TRUE RAY OF HOPE?

HERE I AM NOW WATCHING WHILE SHADOWS SWAY LIKE THE NOOSE OF THE ROPE.

TOO MUCH PAIN HAS COME TO MY DAYS IN MAKING OF THIS WEARY LOST SOUL.

FOR I NO MORE DO WISH TO NEITHER BE, NOR TAKE PART AS ONE OF LIFE’S LONELY FOOLS.

CAN THERE NOT BE LOVE FOR ME, LIKE THAT IN WHICH I DO TOO OFTEN DREAM.

SUCH SORROW HAS BEEN CAST TO THE PIT OF MY HEART WHO CAN ONLY SCREAM.

FEEL MY HUNGER AND RAGE THAT DOES BURDEN THIS SPIRIT AS IT FEELS SO DEEP WITHIN.

I AM ALWAYS LONGING AND HOPING TO SHARE THIS LIFE OF PASSION AND LOVE.

WHY MUST THE GODS FORSAKE ME, NOT TO HAVE THE ONE THEY MADE FROM ABOVE?

SHE TOO I KNOW MUST FEEL THIS STRIKE WITHIN HER HEART OF DEATHLY GRIEF.

ONLY TO TAKE WHAT MOMENTS WE CAN IN LIFE NO MATTER HOW SHORT OR HOW BRIEF.

IT PAINS ME TO KNOW HOW WE CANNOT BE TOGETHER AS LOVERS TO THIS LIFE IN FULL.

SO I LOOK BEYOND THE REALMS TO THE NEXT WHERE THERE OUR LOVE WILL PULL.

WHERE THERE I WILL FOREVER TAKE TO MY HEART AND MAKE HER FOREVER MINE.

THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL I KNOW THAT THIS CURSE ON US IS LIFT AND LIFE IS FINE.

TILL THEN I WAIT AND WATCH HERE IN THE SHADOWS FOR OUR LOVE TO COME TO ME.

WITH JUST A SIMPLE TOUCH AND A LONGING KISS BOTH OUR HEARTS ARE SET FREE.

YET FOR NOW I AM A LOST SOUL, TILL THEN SETTING IN GLOOM AND HARSH SORROW.

I AM AWAITING MY LOVE TO COME AGAIN, UPON SOME BRIGHTER LOVING TOMORROW.

CROWS OF THE SKY

MY MIND DRIFTS THINKING OF YOU AND I

AS I WATCH CROWS PLAY IN THE SKY.

SOARING UP ABOVE TO THE CLOUD

I THINK OF THIS LOVE WE HAVE FOUND.

TWO LOST LOVERS AGAIN UNITE.

JUST LIKE DREAMS OF THE NIGHT.

NEVER AGAIN DO I WANT TO LOSE YOU.

THAT DAY BROUGHT MANY YEARS OF BLUE.

NOW HERE AGAIN WE COME BY FATES.

WE ARE LONG TIME LOVERS AND AS MATES.

I SIT WATCHING CROWS IN THE SKY.

THINKING OF THE LOVE IN YOUR EYES.

BRINGS A LASTING SMILE TO MY FACE.

I'M SO HAPPY AND FULL OF PEACE.

THE LOVE YOU GIVE SETS ME TO FLAME.

WITH A LOVING FEELING NEVER OF SHAME.

MAKING ME KNOW YOU ARE MY ONLY ONE.

I FIND SO MUCH JOY I WILL NOT LIE.

JUST LIKE THE CROWS IN THE SKY.

DAY'S OF OLD

SO MANY LIFE TIMES AGO, IN THE DAYS OF OLD.

I STILL REKINDLE A LOVE I ONCE DID HOLD.

A LOVE THAT ONCE WAS SO STRONG AND SO BOLD.

I DO BELIEVE ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER TOLD.

AS I LONG FOR THE WOMAN I USED TO HOLD.

THERE IN THOSE MYSTIC DAYS OF VERY OLD.

WHERE I WAS HER KING AND SHE MY LOVING QUEEN.

TWO OF THE KINDEST ANY ONE HAD EVER SEEN.

GREAT LOVERS OF PASSION WHO NEVER WERE MEAN.

MYSTIC WE WERE SO WISE AND SO KEEN.

DARKNESS FELL AND NEVER AGAIN WAS OUR LOVE SEEN.

NOW A NEW DAWN RISES AND AGAIN I HAVE MY QUEEN.

IN DAYS TO COME LOVE WILL RETURN LIKE LONG AGO.

BEFORE LOVE WAS DEPARTED BY OUR WORST OF FOE.

OUR HEARTS REMEMBER THE SONGS OF THE RAVEN CROW.

TOGETHER WE WILL GROW OLD, LOVING ONE ANOTHER SO.

VOWING THAT ANYONE WHO MARKS AGAINST US SHALL BE FOE.

AS OUR LOVE HAS LASTED THE AGES SINCE A LONG TIME AGO.

DESTINY

HEAR ME NOW AS MY CALLING CRIES OUT TO YOU.

HEAR ME CALL FROM BEYOND THE AGES OF OLD.

EVER CALLING OUT FROM BEYOND, THE TOMB OF YESTERDAY.

SEE BEYOND THE DARKNESS OF THE MOMENT IN TIME.

THERE IS LIGHT BEYOND THE HORIZON OF THE DAY.

IT IS A LOVE THAT CAN'T BE DENIED, NOW OR EVER.

NOW JUST PUT
