The Unknown
June 2nd, 2009
Gathering mist and gathering night
Darkening clouds and darkening light
What lies hidden in the distance
Darkened by unknown resistance
War is coming, that I know
Where to find it, isn’t though
Battle cries are near at hand
Soon we all will make a stand
We cannot see what is not written
We cannot slay what is not smitten
Make no plans, you cannot feel
What is lies and what is real
War is coming, that I know
I fear it comes far too slow
Choices are made with knowledge naught
People killed, without a thought
Gathering mist and gathering night
Darkening clouds and darkening light
What lies hidden in the distance
Darkened by unknown resistance
I do not know what happens next
My future holds what my past reflects
Tombstone
June 1st, 2009My apologizes for no posts for two months.
End of the year school is bad, and I was away in England.
I’m back now though, with a light school load and hopefully a lot of writing in my summer!
Here’s a poem I wrote on the plane ride back from London:

Forgotten marker of a life,
Worn with age, marked with strife,
What tale lies hidden underneath?
Who’s love was shown here by this wreath?
70 years of living, here,
Are preserved now like a mirror,
In which we gaze into your past
And find out when you breathed your last
Your whole life summed up in three letters,
“Here in lies,” the words like fetters
Bind your tale, trap your being
I can only guess now, what you’ve seen.
Forgotten marker of a life,
worn with age, marked with strife,
What tale lies hidden underneath?
What body trapped here, in this sheath?
Condemned
April 30th, 2009
The flickering light
Which betrays my trust
It darkens the room
It seems unjust
The candle that burns
With the wax that keeps dripping
Signals the end
Of my life, which is slipping
The guard keeps on waiting
Right outside my cell
Regarding the candle
Like the toll from a bell
At the last beam of light
He’ll march through the door
And lead me away
I’ll come back no more
So I sit here in silence
The end is so near
The light keeps on dimming
The time’s almost here
The darkness condemns me
No more will I tread
Past trees, streams or rivers
They’re cutting my thread
This darkened room fills me with doubt
And suddenly the light goes out

I like the basic idea but man it’s put together really oddly . . . that’s what you get for writing poetry during classes.
I might try to redo this when I have some spare time.
Dragon-wake
April 29th, 2009
A hasty poem scrabbled together during some standardized testing. It’s for a class I have. Let’s hope I get above a C for it.

Shining scales of golden hue
Sparkling like the morning dew
Claws that rake and rip and tear
They can uncover any lair
Beating wings with rhythm fly
Their flying drowns out any cry
Smoke which billows from your nose
Steamy clouds that slowly blows
Bright light flames leap from your tongue
Flickering fires have always sprung
Your beady eyes shine bright with greed
Your endless desire, they wish to feed
Slow flow
April 27th, 2009Not many, if any, poems will be posted this week as I’m at projects aprox. 12 hours a day this week and have all my other free time devoted to school (uck!) but hopefully the next few poems will be good.
I have some new ideas and, of course, Hunter has some progress to do.
Unintentional
April 24th, 2009
will scar my heart forever
the red that pools down on the floor
was caused by my endeavor
I didn’t mean for it to end
the way I know it did
I didn’t mean for this to be
Oh would my God forbid
You weren’t suppose to be here
I wasn’t mad at you
But then you saw my hidden gun
And then at me you flew
You should have stopped and asked me
You should have calmly walked
For when you ran across the room
I didn’t even balk
And now I stand, too stunned for words
Too shocked to run away
The sirens sounding at the door
Howl like a dog’s loud bay
I’m standing in my prison cell
I’ll never stand outside
These bars, through whom, I’ll glimpse a life
I’ll never more reside
the red that stains my hands like ink
will scar my heart forever
the red that pools down on the floor
was caused by my endeavor
Mirror, Mirror

Undivided
April 22nd, 2009

You walk across the crowded room
As if you’re all alone
You stand out in the pouring rain
And all your beauty’s shown
Your stunning smile never fails
To skip my heart a beat
Your bubbling laughter always makes
My face burn fast with heat
I can’t resisit your charming grace
Or not stare at your eyes
I’ll spend my life beside your side
Until one of us dies
