Die fleckige Kapuze im Gesicht,
mit Augenringen bis zum Schlüsselbein
und auch nicht immer ganz im Gleichgewicht

Er führte Boron selber an der Nas' herum,
und dass er stets zu seinen Taten stand,
nahm ihm sogar die eig'ne Gilde krumm.
Berra war den Boronsdienern nicht geneigt,
die taten ihm gar schlimme Dinge an.
Dafür hat er dem verhüllten Pack gezeigt,
wie schon ein einz'ger Mann sie ärgern kann.
Doch nie hat er die Leute umgebracht,

Darksome night and shining moon,
Hearken to the Witch's Rune.
East, then South, West, then North.
By the powers of land and sea,
Be obedient unto me.
Wand and pentacle, cup and sword,
Hearken ye unto my word.
Cord and censor, scourge and knife,
Waken all ye unto life.
Powers of the Witch's blade,
Come ye as this charge is made.
Queen of the Summerlands, field and dell,
Send your power unto this spell.
Horned Hunter of the night,
Work my will, by magickal rite.
By all the might of Moon and Sun,
As I will, it shall be done.
By all the powers of land and sea,
As I say, So Mote It Be.

Lost HopeA whispering wind and a falling tear,Lost Hope8 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
What is it now that i have i now to fear?
A lost hope that now inside me shall ever dwell,
Caught in a state of perpetual hell.
Why must the one i care for always Betray,
Cheating by night and now by day.
I have lost all once before,
and now it would seem i'm back at it's door.
Trapped now between love an hate,
Must find a way to escape the bait.
A symbol of love i look to see,
For what i feel inside of me.
I do not wish for all hope to be lost,
I'll do what it takes no matter the cost.
I will not let happen what happend before,
Heartbreak and lots of pain galore.

As I gander to my side;
A black figure swoons toward me,
As I frantically run to hide.
The darkened night's now waning,
As the sadness in me grows.
I wipe my tears away,
As I struggled and arose.
I hear the floorboards creaking,
As he draws ever near.
The shadows on the walls were dancing,
And his intentions became quite clear.
My heart grew ever sadder,
As I struggled on my feet.
My own inner torment
Would lead to my defeat.
The figure drew closer,
From where I dwell and hide.
One more gander upward,
And the figure was beside.
I went into the kitchen,
And picked up a knife.
I held it out b

Lying there, serenely
Though once I remove her mask
And my hand grasps her form gently
The beauty and wonder
Which can flow from her
Unto white sheets
Black stains left apparent
It never does cease
Strokes and Scratches
Ideas put forth
Beauty of mind
Changed into form
With a final caress
We leave our mark
Mask returned
Sadly we part
A sleep overtaking her
And again she lies
Coolness and collected rest
So richly deserved
Last longing gaze
Before departure

That I must hold for all eternity
Now with you away I am forced to hide
With you gone life holds no prosperity
Your happiness brought joy into my life
But now you are away with someone new
You have thrown my existence into strife
Leaving me with only my thoughts of you
I cannot claim to understand your mind
Or fathom what it is you desire
But the way you left me was too unkind
By putting me in such a dismal mire
never again will I be one to love
It will always be you I think of
Come Discover MeCome Discover Me9 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I was once designed by builders
Though I seem to have forever been here
A living structure whose sight bewilders
Please come discover me before I disappear
I am alone, none would desire
To stay inside when I don't speak
Though the exploring they require
I can provide, and is unique:
Pipes, that through my body run
Some hellish hot, or blue from frost
Look for an exit, there is none
The paradise of being lost
They twist and turn and bend and curve
Some thin as twigs some thick as trees
Wander through me alone, observe
How travelling begins to freeze
And vents with fans that turn around
Scattering the gathered dust

GenesisGenesis9 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I saw an angel twined in the arms of a devil,
slumbering like the cherubim and imps.
Fluttering amongst the seraphim....
I saw the sun hold the sky beneath its eye,
and saw the star crossed lovers stir.
I watched with angel eyes as light eternal,
from that self-same sphere of yellow,
dancing red and orange flame, did weep,
for love long lost and its late labors,
that did bring forth a beautified romance...
And lo a kiss, from angels lips,
did fall on high, and a devils sigh,
lost to selective ears. A languid hand,
holds close in caress. A deathly kiss,
to bring about a twinkling life.
Love's MetaphorsLove is a curse,Love's Metaphors9 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
A breath of desire,
As clouded as mist,
As wild as the fire.
Nothing here will exist
Without thought to Love,
No hate, no anger,
No despair, or future.
Love is a light
That blinds you forever,
No mercy has Love,
That brings you together.
It creeps and takes
You far from aware,
It claws you and
Keeps you safe, have a care,
For Love is a monster
No human can tame,
And if you're not carful,
You it will maim.
Never let it catch you
Never let it find you
Hide from it, fight it
Live for it, die from it.
Love is a curse,
A breath of desire,
As clouded as mist,
As wild as the fire

Logic, Causality, and Reason
Have fled with Sorrow's champion Justice,
As if to Priam's halls, yet they will find no sanctuary
as Zeus' colossal steed bears down upon them,
showing no fear.
I, ignorant Christ,
hang high with my barbed wire crown
and gun-shot stomach; hands stapled
to an irrelevant Something,
while my feet bear razor cuts,
self-inflicted.
Above it all, the Green skinned dollarties reign,
proud as their sightless eyes are turned away from the scene,
gazing blindly and endlessly

I know you're hurting and I feel it too
I realize I haven't always been there for you
It pains me to hear you suffer
Even though your miles away
I wish I could be with you
To show you I care
To wrap my arms around you
Tell you Ill always be there
I couldnt tell you how many tears Ive cried
Praying that you would make it through the night
I miss you even when your gone for a moment
I couldnt stand the rest of my life
It might seem weird and really strange
For me to say that I feel this way
But your my friend, and thats what I do
Im always there to listen to you.

White one, with flowers pink and red-
Lately, you've been dwelling in my head.
Dearest shoe-box filled with baubles,
It's true; your top still wobbles.
You're too full of memories and squabbles.
Dearest shoe-box of worn-out thoughts,
Let me open you up, re-connect the dots.
I'm sick of letting the memories rot.
Dearest shoe-box with a blanket inside,
Look at all the trinkets those folds can hide!
There's the photo I always kept at my side.
Dearest shoe-box with secrets old and worn,
I think it's time to mend my heart, still broken and torn.
It's time to let go of the hurt and scorn.

Running down the hallway, I race down to the gym. I've always been late to my classes, but never to P.E. I've always liked P.E. and I never knew why. Maybe it was because I love to run and exercise, or maybe just because of the hard work and effort I put into that class it just helps me not think of my problems. I don't know, but I really didn't want to be late to this class.
I ran quickly through the halls, weaving my way through the groups of people and the teachers. They didn't even care to stop me? Wow, some teachers. I finally got to the boys locker room, and ran through the door. Everyone was still getting dressed, and a lot of guys we
