Poetic Jackals?
So yeah, I have, at times, been known to write the occasional poem. Off and on I would write poems to suit my mood, though more often than not that mood was a bad one, so most of my poems have a leaning towards angst and depression. I've stopped trying to write about love and such since, well, my last parter never appreciated them, and I've not got someone to write them to currently... well, I might... but I haven't written poetry in so long, I'm not sure I even know how anymore.
Anyway, here's a few samples of poems I've written in the years past. The first three were written with no real emotion behind them, though may seem a little on the down side. The fourth is rather depressing, but might make a good song or such. :P And the last is, well, dragons. Mwaha.
Tree Buds
The trees
Under attack by green lumps
I'm told they're called 'buds'
That they'll turn into 'leaves'
I pluck them off and they die
I save the tree!
Wonder...
Did you ever wonder why things go the way they do?
Is it some preset record we follow?
Are we pawns in someone's game?
We play the game called 'Real Life'
Costs may vary, loot is random
Everyone loses
Striving
I strive
I crave
I move
In waves
I strive
to grow
to live
and so
I work
and slave
to wind
up brave
until
the end....
Cold
It's cold outside
The rain bothers me
I can't see
What's right in front of me
My eyes are clear
But my mind is lost
In the midst of madness
Sinking inside of me
I hear you call
But I cannot answer
Lost in my mind
Deeper inside of me
Alone in my mind
I think of you
What you meant to me
What I meant to you
I stay in my mind
Despite desperate plees
To come outside
Outside is too cold...
It's cold outside
I stay inside of me
For I can't see
What's right in front of me
Dragon
Dragon, do you sleep at night?
do you dream of your sad fate?
knight of white does hunt you there.
watch in silence, he is near.
Dragon, can you sleep by day?
knight of white ain't far away.
watch your back or you may die,
early on or late at night.
Dragon, can you stay awake?
Do not sleep or your sad fate
may find you whilst you snore away
any time of night or day.
Dragon, are you still around?
or have you flown to island sound?
knight of white has long since passed.
his death was witnessed by the last...
Dragon, are you still alive?
no one wants to kill you now...
come out from hiding, Dragon brave,
and see the sun in early day.
Dragon, dead as night's clear sky...
dead of sickness, fear... but why?
Fear of death, brave Dragon had,
so hid and died in caverns wide...
Dragon's spirit, it does soar...
knowing now to fear no more...
knight of white sleeps ever more,
Dragon lives in minds of lore.
