May as well post some rubbish poems I wrote.


The Winner's Lament

Stand as tall as the sun
Back straight and head up
Don't back down, don't run
Meet the gaze of everyone

Slumping dead into defeat
Eyes hollow and voice slurred
Another day I fear to greet
I can't achieve another feat

Look ahead, meet their eyes
See straight through them
Seamless discovery of lies
Never fail to advise

End of the day I fall
Look down to dusty floor
Stare up at trophy wall
My victories only a pall

There is no second place
Fight only to win
Show your pride on your face
Be the one they all chase

Not bent but broken
Empty and ruined
By failures unspoken
I'm only their token

A gold medal given
But still I am hurting
Too much strength exerting
I smile and I wave


Cherished Agony

Swimming in my tears
From losing you
Charging toward my fears
That I won't make it through

I don't remember how
To be alone
Though weak, I vow
I will atone

This grief I cannot love enough
For all my blessings many
Though love now lost may feel so rough
Regrets I haven't any

In loss I know more truly
How great my care had been
I bear my sorrow newly
To forget would be but sin


Mythical Bride

Elsewhere, someplace, long-forgotten where
In safekeeping my heart in her dutiful care

Promised a gift of a unicorn's horn
Carved into the only ring she would wear

Venturing far among sights to behold
Yet only to find an unusual mare

If any longer I love her, dormant it grows
Not to return home without that gift rare

My search will continue, forward again
No matter my sorrow it seems I still care

Nothing as guide, no signs and no maps
Only a dream that I am half a pair

here's something I wrote out of boredom
I Am The Dark
A night falls around me ever lasting
Wander wander in the night
So thick so black I can't even see
I fall deeper into the dark
So comfortable...
At peace with the night
A part of my mind long forgotten stirs
Whisper ever present
The night reaches out
Oh a person?
The whisper in my mind grows
I hear in a soft voice like my own
"Kill them..."

NOTIFICATION: (Here's a slightly older, more malevolent variation. Awhile slightly personal and potentially irrelevant, this was conceived during my previous relationship. Slight admonishment is advised during the concluding statement, as it can be interpreted as an intolerance to religion, and I by absolutely no means condone such detestable conjecture despite my disbelief in organized religion, please be respectable of my theological position. An additional note is the graphical content present, the central summary is a mysterious, vampiric being wishing to transition a younger soul into immortality to vanquish the innate solitude of eternal existence. So be cautious. I also do not enforce that this is a substantial demonstration of my particular talent, neither.)

Blue Circle Around a Red Moon ~ Two-Pointed Kiss - 10.16.14
The bloody typhoon rages across the now red oceans around the world's perfect spherical surface.
But before we are swallowed up by the blood of the ancients, I have but a last and special purpose.
I want to thrive upon the world along with someone I think is as beautiful as armageddon's ring.
If you would kindly accept my gift of evermore, I could see the whole world with you under my wing.

The primordial darkness will be our shower to cleanse off the sins of the lighter realm and glow.
With the darkness at our backs, and the wings out of our backs, we can journey beyond to and fro.
Would you like to live with me forever, a person whose kindness illuminates this dark and dreary time.
But if you wish to stay as a normal, mortal human, I would take no offence and all will be perfectly fine.

To be polite, I don't think I could last another second without you, much less another thousand years.
Drink my blood in any form you like, from my neck, my throat, or even in the form of my bloody tears.
We may have to end the lives of a thousand, but you're worth more to me than all of them together.
You have only a short time to make your decision, God could give you time, but I could give you forever.

Today's poem is here the lovey-dovey day with your waifu approaches, do you have anyone you want to write a poem about?

Who you love is not something that on your own you decide
Love is much like an accident, the best accident there is
It's an emotion that appears one day and on your heart resides
Turbulent as a tornado, but like the center of a storm it has peace

Over a maiden graceful and dashing
A prideful challenge made
Three shooters, three warriors clashing
In beauteous patterns arrayed

Both opponents' acceptance gained
Soon the battle begins
Waiting anxious and pained
For to see who wins

To compete is a noble diversion indeed
For pride and glory won
'Though unlikely to fare well, I cede
Should end only in fun

Thanks!
