One Little Thing After Another

I have a presentation to show in 15 minutes. And I’m nowhere near done. I was given an assignment by my boss on how the company could make it’s latest project better. That was two weeks ago. You’re probably thinking that I had plenty of time to do this project. If so, you are correct. I’m sure you’re also wondering how I managed to not get this project done. I had two weeks to complete it, and more so, I didn’t have a busy schedule. So, what happened? Let me explain to you something called “procrastination.” Y

A Poet's Goodbye

A Poet's Goodbye What does a poet say before the end? Do they seek the solace of a friend? Do they hear a song of love within? Or remember all that had once been? Do they sing the sorrow of their heart? Do they mumble, mutter, and fall apart? Or is it for in silence then? For the most surreal when

Secrets (Contest Entry)

Tied tongues Knotted ears Slap the poker You spread your lies Everywhere Hiding the truth The stabs the scars chipped in the Icy spring you call a heart Eyes that mirror False realities and broken breaths of dreams you dare'nt let go You think its bad To hurt - to feel So wound up in bandages You lost your slender beautiful figure Hang yourself in the shutters Deep in the dark night How far will you go To keep your "secrets"?

The Keep of Ever-Weep

The Keep of Ever-Weep Hallowed halls so crumble to be Remnants of a brighter sea Never again to see the light Silent in the darkest night What lives within so shudders and shakes Good is lost within the stakes Chaos comes to seal the fate Where all who travel become awake Spectral songs that draw you in A siren's call you touch within Darkness blooms within your soul Darker than the blackest coal Constricting chains that kiss the sky Dancing where no song shall die Where echoes bounce that won't reply In melancholy to ever fly Hew subdue and feel alive Losing what is right inside The echo that you want to hide The timeless call all must

Larathain Nai Lo Starlight

Larathain Nai Lo Starlight (The legend of Larathain) The tempest of fate I tempt once more Forever this litany to truth I swore Death my trade and daily chore Every stolen Light deserved far more Within me, rage I've always felt The coldest heart begins to melt A conscience born of fire to smelt The world of darkness I will welt By sword and spell I hold within The strength to change without and in No challenge I fail, this I won't sin My fury is told by where I've been Eternity within my eyes To Innocence I've said good bye Every fight and I don't die By every night into the sky Starlight is my name and soul Elven is my grace and toll T

Caught within the Call of Chaos

Caught within The Call of Chaos Chaos sang a song to me within the wistful whistle of the wind A haunting font of melody to warn me of its sin The spectral call upon a breeze piercing through the dark A racing heart began to seize upon the still of art The weave so softly sang to me whispering the woes within A hark to spark The Darkest Sea suffering in their sin A roar of rage upon the air raving for release Callous folding to the care pleading to decease I close my eyes to every sound centered in my mind In silence is my solace found within the peace I find In my altruistic fantasy I see the truth to know In reality of society deeper

No Distinction Is Drawn by battlebrothertherix, literature

No Distinction Is Drawn

There is no black and white, Only multitudinous shades of grey, In which we all reside. Knights alike, and dragons. For 'tis not the body which defines, Determines the right and wrong, But the mind and the will, And the cause and creed. For no angel or devil, No demon nor saint, Nor monster of any kind, May claim to hold the first stone. We, our purpose, is not chiselled, Not set in that same stone, Carved by the blade That only sees two sides of a coin. So I speak. To the dragon who sees the knight as a hero, The knight who sees the dragon's might, The princess who holds the sword, The trinity most unlikey, say the legends. They tell o

Sleepless

Tucked into bed, warm and safe You feel there is something out of place You realize that it's because you're alone You're left with the memories from eons ago You're the only one who can keep your fears a bay To wipe your tears, to dry your face You long for the contact of another soul But you know that's out of your control. You'll lay in bed, thinking what life has become Soon you'll wonder if it all went wrong You'll consider the life you have already lived And regret some of the things that you did But then you'll think about what the future hold If you will be brave or you will be bold If you will find someone to share this life And to

Robin

Robin. I grew up with you, as many of my generation. I watched as you fought pirates, never wanting to grow up. I watched you as you struggled as a ten-year-old in a body of forty. I watched as you became from a simple robot to a complete man. Forever I will remember of you as a crazy blue Genie, with so many personifications. Forever I will remember of you as a boy who was stuck 26 years in a game. The inventor who created Flubber, or the doctor who wanted to bring joy to the sick. You inhabited my childhood and my dreams, with so many movie characters. But now you are gone, gone to never return. Hollywood just became poorer. And with you,

Sister

Sis. Ever since I saw in the cradle I loved you. But I also envied you as we grew up together. You had your many friends, you always took the best grades. And in my case I had no close friends and took only the low ones. You always succeeded in things I didn't, and that's painful. I struggled to reach your point but in the end I made myself a fool. You always would go out with your friends and some dates. While I remained at home with my books and my videogame. I tried to reach you, but no matter what, you took flight. You entered university and I was still in high school. No one understood me, I already considered taking my own life. When

Whispered Promise

Whispered Promise Looking in the mirror what do I see A cracked reflection staring back at me Once alive and vibrant, full of life and hope Empty eyes reflect with no joy at all Wondering if it would matter if I were here Would anyone notice if I just up and disappeared Fading away silently into the shadows grey mist Never to be seen or heard from again The sad song of death does call to me A somber melody that won't let me be Beckoning me with its sweet serene sound Its musical notes holding me spell bound Closing my eyes, releasing all tears~ A chilling touch pulls me near Wrapping me in a lover's embrace "Sleep forever, I'll keep you s
