The ElementsOh Fire – flaming beauty,The Elements2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Your passion burns in me,
Desire and such heat,
But then, you never stop to see –
Oh Water – flowing liquid,
Your shifts I understand,
First calm and then you're raging,
But sometimes you're out of hand –
Oh Earth – grounded spirit,
So steady and so mild
You always know your place
But sometimes you go wild –
Oh Air – unseen magic,
Your winds live in my heart,
Where they blow I wish to follow,
But you cannot make me part –
All pieces of the puzzle,
Each a different part,
You live on in all of us,
Oh, nature's work of art.
The ProtectorI want to keep her safeThe Protector3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I just want to protect her
But there's no way I can do that
Being with me means being in danger
I can keep her safe
From anything that could hurt her
Except for myself
I am far too much of a monster
So the safest thing I can do
Is to keep her away from me
While trying to keep her safe from distance
That's just the way it has to be
And I know that it will hurt her
But she'll be better off that way
And she might not understand
Why I have to keep away
But I couldn't live with myself
If she got hurt because of me
So no matter how I love her
This is the way it has to be
I do it because I love her
Maybe
YouDo you know just how you always make me feel?You3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
You make me feel alive and you make me feel unreal.
You make me feel like magic when magic cannot be,
And you make me feel so different, or perhaps just more like me?
You make me long for stories and places that don't exist,
You make me feel like sunrays when really I am mist.
You fill my head with gold and stars - and things never seen,
You make me feel just everything when I'm really stuck between.
You make things seem so clear, yet so confusing at the same time,
You make me dream of dreams and long for lives that can't be mine.
You make me burn like fire and like light you make me glo

And scatters of gold.
My mind is free,
It will never grow old.
Lands of magic,
And stories of love.
I’ll be reborn like the Phoenix,
And I’ll rise above.
Whatever life will send me,
I know I’ll make it some way.
In the end I’ll always be alright,
So come whatever may.
Though life is full of hardships,
I’ll keep fighting on each day.
For the magic in the world will save me,
In the end it will all be okay.
Heavenly EyesFading sunsHeavenly Eyes4 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
On darkening skies,
Like an ember
Before it dies.
The glowing moons
Then slowly rise,
On the black
Encasing skies.
The stars appear
And shine like eyes,
Upon the heaven
As the moons rise.
And at long last
When the night dies,
The suns again shine
On the world with bright eyes.

Our world is plagued by war
Problems that won't just disappear
That we can't just no longer ignore
We can't ignore what's happening
We can't ignore what we do
We need to save us from ourselves
We need to start anew
I have been blessed with my powers
But there's only so much I can do
I am but one person
And I am only human, too
In my Fortress of Solitude
Is where I find my peace
I am free to simply be there
It's where I am at ease
Yes, there is darkness in this world
A lot of horrible stuff
But I am strong enough to bear it
I am good enough
Never FadeShrouded in darknessNever Fade3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Oh, my lovely one
You were simply magic
More so than anyone
You were a living myth
We could hardly believe
And we believed the wrong things
I guess we were naïve
But no one burned like you did
And no one ever will
And they can never change how
You gave us such a thrill
And I remember all the times,
The times you gave me magic
Gave me reason, gave me rhyme
Those who fail to see are tragic
I will always cherish
All the things you made
You are everlasting
Your light will never fade
Violin The weathered wood felt velvety soft against the girl's pale cheek as she held the delicate instrument to her face to inhale its musky scent. She ran her thin fingers over the grooves and dents, as if following a map to her destiny. In many ways she felt as if she were.Violin2 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
With the gentleness of a mother holding her newborn, she nestled the violin under her chin. Each metal string was plucked once with careful precision, checking for the clear, clean tone, which called out to her very soul. It was perfect.

You aren't so much a human
As a pathetic, lovely little doll.
Pass up chances to love because
It just might make you see
You're not the only one in this life
Who's too afraid to fall.

It's not as if the world would have changed.
It's not as if the sun would age.
It's not as if the moon would explode
and it's not like I'm creating a road
or leading the way to what I believe
and it's not like I'm praying on hands and knees.
It's not even like I have a story to tell;
I've never been a slave; I haven't walked through hell.
I don't have much to show for my breath you call life.
I'm not a god and I can't bleed light.
If I create dreams that are never there,
why is my mind continually bare?
I have no reason, purpose or rhyme.
I am not dead, and I'm not divine.

I am alone, in deep thought.
It seems that I could not find what I sought.
Maybe I did, but now it is too late.
I suppose that I should accept my fate.
No matter how spiteful my heart can be.
My thoughts and dreams will set me free.
I sit, and wait, and try to forget.
I want to appeal to those with regret.
They understand. Only they see.
How can I be you, when I am merely me?
It is I, naked and shamed.
It is you, the one that they blamed.
Who is this, that lingers here?
It is your companion. Your dear friend, fear.
Oh, how I long for the past to return.
How can I change, when I still yourn.
You asked me for what, the answer
HopeWhat are you without hope?Hope7 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
How can you make it through each day?
Why would you let it die?
When it can help you on your way?
I know to let yourself hope,
can fill each day with fear,
but to live your life without,
will just bring unwanted tears.
Do not presume that I don't know,
how hard each day can be,
though hope does fill me up inside,
it's hard for you to see.
For many years I've had hope,
follow me through my days,
for just as many days that pass,
fear chases my hopes away.
Though fear is always there with hope,
how could I let it die?
This something that I want so much,
is the reason that I try.
To give up so easily
Be StrongA hidden reserve within each of usBe Strong8 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The ability to do what we must.
But no matter how many times we fight
It does not increase our might.
The meaning of strength is not to win
It is to keep coming back again.
It allows us to get to our feet
By doing that we help others in need.
It means not being a pillar for just oneself
and giving inspiration to someone else.
For when each of us draw on our strength
Others can too and it can push them to greater lengths.
When others witness the power inside
It can drive them to stop thier backwards slide.
In the mirror you see someone who failed
But they see your determination to prevail.

More Than A Physics TestShe said she wanted to touchMore Than A Physics Test2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
the ceiling of the world.
We climbed into the hot air balloon
the very next day.
It was warm, almost too warm,
but her hands were cold in mine
and her gaze was frosty,
her eyes starlit and heaven sent.
I asked which ceiling she'd prefer,
in hopes of stretching a smile across
that galaxy expression.
It was a multiple choice question:
a) The troposphere
b) The stratosphere
and
c) The balloon fabric in the hot air balloon
She picked d) none of the above,
and ignored the smile waiting for her.
She (distantly) wondered where we would soon be--
a) Heaven, slowly reeled in as if caught on a fishing h

The pen taps on the table, marking out a steady, rhythmic pattern. Already a dent is forming in the wood; it's shallow, but just hollow enough for the girl to see. She rakes a hand through her peroxide-blonde hair, running her fingers through the black roots and pink fringe. She can feel the colours there and she bites her lip carefully, so as not to draw blood; she wouldn't wan

I cannot see inside your mind.
There's something there, what can it be?
I wonder if you ever think of me.
I sit and stare, look deep in your eyes,
But what's inside is all a surprise.
You mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know,
But how you feel, you do not show.
It's frustrating not knowing where I stand,
My emotions lying helpless in the palm of your hand.
I wish you would tell me the thoughts in you head.
Instead you just lay there, numb, in your bed.
You're brilliant. You're beautiful. A true work of art.
I just wish I could find a way to your heart.
Just to be near you, it makes my heart

2. Take a moment to think of nothing but her; ignore the tears welling up in your eyes. Now think of her voice. Now think of the hurt. See? No more tears.
3. Let the anger take over until she's not the person you fell in love with. Really, you don't even know who she is anymore, and it can't hurt to lose someone you don't know.
4. Read your old poems without thinking abut her; listen to love songs without crying; flirt with someone new without comparing them to her.
5. Stop writing for her, stop writing to impress her, stop writing to tell her how you're too afraid to feel. She doesn't care anymore, you shouldn't ei

the full moon hangs behind
The wolf song that is sung
in search for its own kind...
He once was called "alpha male"
the lead wolf of his pack
A position lost with age
due to the stamina he lacks...
He once stood strong and tall
this old aged canine king
Tonight he walks the dark alone
with no pack, no den, nothing...
For time is without mercy
pulling the strong to their knees
He lifts his voice once more
to send his song on the night breeze...
The countless stars across the sky
watch him from far above
He mournfully recalls his life mate
of his life, the missing love...
His mind drifts to the ma

If I could make one wish,
And know that it would come true
I'd wish the whole world wiccan
So you can be a witch too.
I think wiccans get the best in life,
We also get the worst
But that’s because the Christians
Rained upon our faith a curse
Common misconceptions of our faith include
Bloodletting, putting spells on men,
Riding broomsticks, eating children
And consorting with Satan
But on the inside, it's not like that,
Nothing like that at all
We're all a part of an intricate web,
A web that’s called the world
We stand in circles and call to us
Energy to love and heal
We thank the lord and lady

In the night so high, above a grassy meadow.
The shining lights aglow, older than eternity.
A vast open space empty, filled with transparent life.
Absent of strife, one moon in our sky.
The earth so low, with grass green.
Ranges unseen, mountains so high.
Where none have to lie, cause everyone knows.
The earthen lows.
The crimson sea.
Filled with joy and glee.
Limitless expanse.
Unburdened by demands.
A spire rises up, fuelled by the height.
Inspired by the right, instilled in the heart.
Accepted by the smart.
Written by the wise, edited by the others.
Wind smothers, what doesn't shud

Days of running through fields of dappled sunlight,
And watching kites
Soaring like chained birds above the hill behind my house.
Do you remember the days of sunshine?
Days of spinning through sprinklers,
And eating lunch on checkered blankets,
And lying, fingers entwined and breath held beneath the juniper tree.
Do you remember sweet summer nights?
Nights spent strolling arm in arm,
And laying in the hammock
Pretending we were sailors guiding our ship by the stars.
I remember those days,
The days of our youth.
Days and nights, those were once ours.
Once ours alone.
