My Dream Last Night

The boy stood in a puddle of blood and water. There was no way to tell how much of it was the boy’s own and how much was just the rain water which ran dripping down from off his soaked body from the dark, stormy clouds above. There was something odd about the human, like he was a four year old adult. Grown already, yet trapped in an unwanted, unneeded body. The boy stared straight ahead, through black, souless eyes which masked mysteries unknown to most.
Slowly, he raised his right arm up and pointed a curved, bleeding finger straight ahead. His head cocked slowly to the right, his dark eyes following the invisible line his outstreched finger created and he whispered, “That way.”

Caged

You cannot escape it,
You cannot be free
No matter how hard you try
You only can flee
 
You never can win
You never will make it
Sucess’s an illusion
You can’t even take it
 
The power to live
Is as fleeting as joy
The freedom of choice
Is just a decoy
 
Every choice that you make
You couldn’t have changed
Every life that you take
Never could be exchanged
 
Though you wish you were free
Inside you do know
That you’ll always be trapped
In this life here below

The Unknown

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

My 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?
