Scribbled this out in a hurry on the way home. Another Alexander the Great poem, but I'm rather happy with the way this one turned out.

Pella in June

Father scopes the sunrise
Red gold and radiant
Proudly observes
Factions of pure fire
Tamed and called to heel
Helios’ golden hounds
Harnessed in molten
Stripes of glaring leather

He dreams in decadence
A king ( Read more... )

I love history, but not American. I still enjoy it, but not as much as Greek, Roman, Macedonian, French, or really any other. I have my own reasons for it, but despite them, I still always enjoyed the Croatoan story of Roanoke. A name left behind after nothing else. I don't know why, but there's an appeal. This isn't based on that event, but it was ( Read more... )

I wrote this one...in health class, months and months ago.  If I remember correctly, it was also written in light blue pen. I can't explain why that seems to matter, but I feel it does.

When the Selfish Receive the Selfless

He is willing to fall for you
Can’t you see his worshipping eyes
The faintest tremor of glossy wings
The regretful shudder when he ( Read more... )

I wrote this one to get out of my first person addiction and to try a new rhyme scheme I don't usually touch. I'm not sure if it's as smooth as I'd like.

To Be Frank Over Foolhardy

For those of you that speak of love
The beating heart and fluttering dove
The blessing of the heavens above
I suggest you calm your tongue

Dear love itself is so rarely true

I think this one came from the petulant child in me, who's a little tired of everyone telling her how hopeless we all are. :)

Who Wrote Revelations Anyway?

I’m tired of your prophecies
This twisted addiction to fate
This reliance on “blessed” cards
With every choice too late

I’m fed up with your endless preaching
Your black book with silver scrawl

I think the book of Revelations inspired this one...I did write it a while ago :)

Revelation

Fire and brimstone
The warnings for centuries
Carved ashen pavement
Overflowing with the white wash
Of molten bones

Orange sky fogged
With acid clouds
Heaving poison sobs
Happily scathing the dry land
That has already faded itself
To dust

Houses sit deserted
Wailing in ( Read more... )

I think I mentioned a while ago that I would post all my poetry here, but I suppose I sort of lied since I haven't done so. Of course, a perfect way of breaking this horrible habit is by posting my newest; an eight page long monster dipped in history and so many allusions that my usual editor needed a full explanation. :)

If a God and a Man are One ( Read more... )
