lol its not his he did say that
learn to read

This is my work

tossing in one I just wrote...today! in my bible class out of boredom...actually it's about what I do every day in class...the last stanza is a bit awkward, but I didn't know how to end it off, so I just left it.

Sleep

As slow as a snail
it strikes as fast as a snake
step by step
a feeling no one can shake.

Sounds slowly drift
away into nothingness.
Images blur
and you feel nothing but bliss.

Slowly moving the head
from side to side
while sight dims;
And you simply go for the ride.

Eyelids weigh a hundred pounds
when the futile fight begins.
Inch by inch
the inevitable starts to win.

Thoughts begin to falter
while movement slacks.
Time slows;
You're stopped in your tracks.

Darkness settles in
and sound drowns out
while you
fly away on the wings of dreams.

@Bara  What the hell is a heroic couplet?

I wrote this after watching a scene in Lost Odyssey.  It's not a direct description, but it's inspired by it.

Snowy Blossom

I watched a bloodless flower bloom 'tween ashen fields of gray
Transfixed by shifting shadows 'neath a slowly dying day
Blood dripping from my shattered sword stains the dusty ground
My heartbeat lost in emptiness of never-hearing sound
Wraiths of carnage gathered round the bravely struggling shoot
And dirges play in phantom hands the songs of silent truth
Reaching for the dying beauty my hand stills on its own
Unable to bereft of life this blossom fully grown
Away I turn and leave behind the quickly fading flower:
"Frail life lived for just one day should live its final hour"

I wrote this some time ago, adapted it a bit to post it here. Not overly proud of it, but meh.

Sparks flying
Cables intertwining
In this room of machines
I sit each passing day

Switch it on and
Switch it off again
Lights, sounds, hum a song
Won

Don feel like it

When it's
              gloomy I don't feel like studying because the weather brings me down.
              sunny  I don't feel like studying because I want to go out and play.
              September I don't feel like studying because there is still a year to go.
              June I don't feel like studying because it

Hey Weirdo, No Weirdo, No Weirdo, Go Weirdo
Hey Weirdo, No Weirdo, No Weirdo, Go Weirdo

She met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Flashin his stuff on the street
He said, Hello, hey Flo, you wanna a free show?
'Mmm Hmmm

Get away from me you pervert
Get the hell away from here
Put some frickin' pants on moron
To that crazy Marmelade

Waggled his rump while she called the cops
His trenchcoat flapped like a kite
On the black asphalt street
he started to freak

Get away from me you pervert
Get the hell away from here
Put some frickin' pants on moron
To that crazy Marmelade

Hey, Hey, Heyyy
Seven cop cars came roaring up
Tazers and pepper spray
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until it cried Ow, Ow, Ow
Now he's in pen doing 5 to 10
Pretending that group has effect
But'll he be out on the street
Cause the law can't keep
a whore, floored, and bored

Get away from me you pervert
Get the hell away from here
Put some frickin' pants on moron
To that crazy Marmelade

"On Superiority of Species"

Little spider you must die
Like your struggling captured fly
"Not fair!" you cry but I reply
The lesser one is you, not I.

Not my words.

Without You

I loved you from the start
I gave you my heart!
You said you'd keep it safe,
and never let it break!

You told me your lies
I didn't  realize,
you thought you were being smart...
but you just broke my heart!

I hope your happy,
you got what you wanted!
you let me go and left me low
but how you made me feel
I guess you'll never know!

The tears I've shed,
for these cruel words in my head!
You made me believe you loved me,
then told me "we're not meant to be"
How could you do that?
Am I really that bad?
It killed me inside,
I guess I'm just sad!

You wrote me a song,
made me feel like someone,
but it didn't take you long,
to leave me, and  now I'm no-one!

You're always in my head,
and never off my mind!
All those things you said
its come to an end I'm now dead inside!

I'm sick and bitter now,
with nowhere to go
no-one to catch me as I fall
no-one to hold me tight and not let go!

There's just no point,
I'll just be all alone here,
without you...
...my...friend?

Enchanted

Moved, as a fragile twig that complies to wind's will
Touched, as by a stranger in the crowd, left not knowing whence it came
Swept aside, as the stream pushes aside the oblivious pebbles buried in it's bedding

Enchanted, by magic that is widely practised, but never understood
Entranced
Enthralled
Enraptured

How rich and abundant language can be, when one's mind is likewise so in feelings and thoughts.

I've been bewitched, but not by any witch or sorcerer alike
I suspect it was an angel who cast the spell, a fallen angel
One that has come down to earth to tempt Man
An Angelus Delapsus, descended to mislead

To be warmed by the rays of the Morning Star
Its proximity alone, albeit for an instant, repletes
Alas that warmth fades, gets replaced by lasting coolth
By these impressions alone do I sense the rays, for they are not visible
Even if they were, I doubt one could gaze at their source with impunity

Knowing these depths and heights,
The drive that enslaves me
It all engraves itself upon me
Never to forget how I was charmed, warmed, calmed
By that enchant

It don

At Korandu

When the world was rounding
in a thunderstorm confounding,
all the world resounding with
the chaos of the war;

all the bells sounding
calling men to the war
to banish the moral
in favor of the war;

all the mothers wailing,
preparing there the dead,
venturing onward
to waking realms of dread;

all the people chanting
hatred until death,
all the angels mourning
the banishment of Breath;

foulness lingering on the wind
while marching to the front,
I carried my rifle
as I would my new-born son.
