I'll post up my older poetry later, if I feel like it. For now, well, here's something new. Enjoy.

Wings
And lo! before him an angel stood
And she on gossamer wings drew near
The man stood still, low'red his hood
To take a breath, swallow his fear

A rose in one hand, the other a blade
The man's eyes widened, seeing his choice
Then feeling sore afraid
Lifted his eyes, lifted his voice

The rose he took, his hand tremb'ling
She smiled on him with love consuming
His own wings grew, then he flew
So narrowly avoided their undoing
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

A preface to an essay I'm writing.

Prison Urbana

Concrete bars that lock me in.
Gravity is law and flow a sin.
Life runs low below the sky
And only a few care to try
To fly, to fly.

I take wing on life with no doubt.
Take wing on the life others are without.
Concrete bars mean naught to me
Take hold on your life and you will see
That I'm free, that I'm free.
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

No real theme or purpose to this one. Just an idea that finally found its way out.

World Wide Open

Walls of fear enshroud my mind.
Hurt and confused I whirl to find
Myself, standing alone and true.
And by his side, I see you.

Perhaps there's a difference between him and me.
Something he, not I, can see.
Whatever it is, it sets him free.

Something that I never knew.
That our hearts beat as one,
You and I, ever so true.
My life is over and his has begun.

What fear there was drops away.
I can see again, the light of day.
It was something that I always knew,
That my world's wide open,
Open with you.
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

Once again, I have to say that you are very talented at poetry(sorry that this comes from someone who doesn't know a verse from a line X3). Anyway, this is, again, a glimmer of hope in this dismal and confusing world of ours. I owe you one.....

Written while looking out the window today.

Drifting
Drifting and sifting
Through cold, crisp air
Winging and singing
And my brethren are there

Always we're falling
But spirits we raise
Always we're falling
Through cold winter's haze

Silently laughing
As I drop to the ground
Unconciously crafting
A puzzle profound

With siblings and parents
Joined hand in hand
My journey there ends
Unity 'cross the land
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

Written about some cooking I did today.

Waiting For The Butter To Soften
We've all been told sometimes
That patience is a virtue,
No matter how hard to find.
Especially in the kitchen,
Waiting for the butter to soften.

I want to continue my hectic life.
Instead of staring out the window,
Idly toying with a tomato knife.
It takes a lot of patience,
Waiting for the butter to soften.

Outside the window, a bird sings.
In the cold of Colorado December,
The relief it brings quite fleeting.
While I sit in the kitchen,
Waiting for the butter to soften.

Without realizing it, I'm pensive,
In this modern life of mine.
My quiet joy extensive.
As I listen to birdsong,
Not waiting for butter to soften.
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

n_n I know EXACTLY how you feel. I don't have enough patience for cooking, either. Almost burnt the house down cooking some waffles. (half-way on purpose....)

Anyways.... Yeah. Great poetry, as usual. n_n And... You're not going to hold it against Amy and I, are you? o_o

Yes, IS. I am glad Saphi-chan is here, because I didn't want it to seem like I was trying to dominate this thread or something. Anyway, great poem as always, and I. Can. Relate. *can't even wait five extra seconds to cook toast right* n_n'

Where there is hatred, offer compassion.
Where there is hurt, offer healing.
Where there is anger, offer peace.
Where there is confusion, offer guidance.
Where there is detachment, offer understanding.
Where there is depression, offer hope.
Above all, where there is death, bring life.

Written today at a rather bittersweet moment.

The Last Day
It was today the we had to say goodbye.
Today that we severed the bonds that tie.
Today walking out, we all gave a sigh.
Because today was the last day.

Today the sun shone bright and hot.
Bringing summer to a time that's not.
And for a time we all forgot
That today was the last day.

Today we laughed like we always do.
And today, like always, our souls flew.
But today also, we were through.
As today was the last day.

But the last day comes and the last day goes.
And we've found something that no one else knows.
That because of the class we all chose.
Today will never be the last day.
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

Well, that is a style choice. It's what he chose to write in, not what he thought would please everyone else. Anyway....

What is there to say that Saphi-chan hasn't said? Latest is calming/freeing/perfect, like usual. WORSHIP!!!!!! *bows incessantly*

Written yesterday, thinking about my soulmate.

Our First Christmas
It has never seemed quite fair
To feel you beside me
But reaching over, feeling only air
And it never has seemed quite right
That our bodies are seperate
But our souls are so tight

But today by the tree
As paper flies
The gift you gave
Sets me free

With it wrapped around
I can feel your arms
To shelter me
Save me from harm
This day that I dreaded
For sheer want of you
Has given me joy
As our souls flew
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

For a friend. No, for one of my family.

If You Leave
What you mean to me you cannot know
So if I cannot tell, I will show
I remember the day when we first met
I remember the way you hadn't realized yet
(Just what you were, who you are)

And I talked to you
And I talk to you

You still have hope, you haven't failed
I only hope you haven't sailed
(On a ship of fire beyond the horizon)

If you leave, the world goes dark
If you leave without making your mark
You can come back, and this I know
I still couldn't tell, I just couldn't show
(Everything you are)
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

Written for... Well, everyone close to me, but three people in particular.

Thoughts on Love
When daarkness surrounds
And evil thoughts sound
Its screeching battle cry
You don't stand alone
And you're not on your own
Frinds and lovers let their standard fly

The stand alongside you
They stand proud and true
To pick you up every time you fall
To answer your most desperate call
To keep you from eternal thrall
This feeling, their love is true
All that can be said
Is that they love you
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

The season of Winter-een-mas is upon us, so I'm reposting this in celebration.

The Winter-een-mas Poem
Once upon this Winter-een-mas dreary,
I stalked about Blood Gulch, quite weary.
My eye trace 'round the map, and there,
My favored weapon! I grab it! Beware.
Shotgun in hand and a glint in my eye,
I hunt down another n00b and let fly.
A babble of 1337speak comes onto my screen.
Silent, I stalk into the teleporter, glowing green.
A melee attack to the skull as they respawn.
I check my clock, still six hours 'til dawn.

And so, spirit of Winter-een mas fresh in my mind,
I resign from the server, just to be kind.
Normally, n00b-killing is fun.
But they deserve a chance, so I turn tail and run.

Welcome, Winter-een-mas, have fun here.
May your spirit be in my gaming gear.
For one holy week, you have shown
That a sniper-****** need not always pwn.
That rocket-whores are not all bad
And that gaming is not "just a fad."
Welcome, Winter-een-mas, have fun here.
May your spirit be in my gaming gear.
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.

I'm writing the next few based off of ideas from the Battle for Barthis concert in Dominic Deegan (see sig). Here's the first.

Cry Wolf and Howl
The boy who cried it,
He cried it for love.
Cried it and screamed,
To the heavens above.
Yeah, God he wept,
And the Godess, she cried.
And the boy down below
Cried wolf and he died!

So cry wolf and howl!
(Howl)
Cry wolf and scream!
Yeah, cry wolf and howl!
Wake up from your dream!

Yeah, love broke his heart,
Or he broke it himself.
And the girls he knew
Put that heart on the shelf.
So scream for his pain!
(Scream)
Scream for his death!
(Cry)
The boy who cried Wolf,
And cried out his breath.

So cry wolf and howl!
(Howl)
Cry wolf and scream!
Yeah, cry wolf and howl!
Wake up from your dream!
(Repeat)

Yeah, cry wolf and SCREAM!
SCREAM!!!
Eternally devoted and wed to my darling pet, Nagoyaka Aikouka.
