Vor allem die hier üblichen, extremen Wetterumschwünge sind äußerst gefürchtet; wenn aus einem lauen Lüftchen in Minuten ein todbringender Zyklon e

Ich binDer einsame WolfIch bin1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Belogen, betrogen, verstoßen von meinem eigenem Volk
Wider aller Graumsamkeit bewahrte Ich meinen Stolz
Meine Grün-blauen Augen
Brennende Entschlossenheit, kein Irrglauben
Kalte Leidenschaft um Seelen zu Rauben
Arroganz und Zorn beschatten mein Antlitz
Meine Macht ist das Wort, doch meine Klauen sind spitz
Mein Geist, mein Blick, ein durchbohrender Blitz

VersuchungEine helle SeeleVersuchung2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
So völlig unbefleckt
Demjenigen wehe,
Der sie hat entrückt.
Edel, mutig, rein
Ganz erfüllt mit Licht
Durch lieblich Wein
Sie tausendfach zerbricht.
Der Sturm er tobt
Die Rose verweht
Der Dorn gelobt
Das Herz es steht
Die Versuchung zu groß
Gier tat den letzten Stoß.

Herrin ueber Ebbe und FlutSchon seit mehreren Jahrzehnten huldigten die Völker der Wellenreiter, ihrem Gott Cardean. Sie raubten, plünderten und unterwarfen diejenigen, die schwächer waren, um ihren Herrn zu stärken. Mit jedem Jahr wurden es mehrere Menschen, Feen, Echsenhäuter und Nebelinge die versklavt, getötet oder konvertiert wurden. Auch die Schätze des Meeres wie Perlen oder Korallen waren vor den Anhängern Cardean nicht sicher.Herrin ueber Ebbe und Flut2 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

Argwöhnisch betastete Hauptmann Ronald McTalbot die notdürftige Bandage an seinem Kopf, während er sich auf die holografische Projektion der Daten seiner SmartCard zu konzentrieren versuchte.

NothingPromisses are broken so easily and lies are told the same way. People can do that even with eye contact, and you know why?Nothing3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Because nobody worries about you, nobody cares about how much that’s gonna hurt you.
If you cut yourself or someday get tired of pretending, everybody is going to say you were just being a drama queen, but that’s because they don’t know the pain that everything causes you. They’re gonna make you feel worse until someday, after all the failed attempts, you’ll get to kill yourself and then nobody will understand the reason, but don’t worry about their pain, because they’ll forget

Lėtai pavienės snaigės oka
Dangaus beribiame skliaute;
Kodėl irdis taip okt nemoka
Krūtinėj mano altoje?
Siela mylėti mano gimus,
Dabar bejausmė ir alta:
Ji Tavo odiuose suilus ,
Tau dingus liko vėl tučia...
Todėl stebiu a snaigių okius,
Kurių nė pats nesuprantu
Gal jie suildys sielos kratą,
Kurį anksčiau suildei Tu...

IllusionsNow you see meIllusions3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Now you don’t,
Illusions are lies
You could see, but you won’t.
Refuse to believe
What’s in front of your eyes,
It’s easier to ignore,
To stand tall, but hide.
You raise yourself up,
But are you really better?
Do you except the truth,
The world in its truest matter.
You write it off,
A silly parlor trick,
But is it just the fact
You’re afraid you’ll fail at it?

?Why?Why do I have all these enemies?Why?10 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
And friends who don't believe?
With the memory of days gone by
I constantly ask myself, "why?"
Why do I feel so empty inside
On life's long, endless ride?
Why do I want to leave this life
Ending it with a sharp knife?
Why do thoughts of death haunt my mind?
Why do I feel like a doll you must wind
And be constantly contemplating suicide?
Why do I run and hide?
Why does school upset me so,
Reminding me how much I wanna go?
Why do I hate everything around here
While always letting go a silent tear?
Why do I love doing nothing at all-
Sitting alone, staring at the wall?
Why do I miss my old, dear

Obituary for Common CourtesyToday we mourn the passing of yet another beloved old Friend, "Common Courtesy", who had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old she was, since her birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. She is remembered as a great philosopher and teacher who helped us to cultivate such valuable lessons such as:Obituary for Common Courtesy4 years ago in Socio-political More Like This
Opening a door for a stranger in need or not in need but purely out of kindness and respect for your fellow man;
saying "Please", "Thank you," and "Excuse me";
extending a helping hand when you see others in trouble or in need of something;
offering to shade someone from the rain or sun when you're the only

Roses and VioletsRoses are RedRoses and Violets7 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Violets are blue
Before you promised me
That you would be true
I gave you my love
So that we can start
But instead you just smiled
Right before breaking my heart
So now I am crushed
While you are still free
You're more happy now
That you have forgotten me
The roses are dead
But the violets stayed true
They have left my life
Nothing but Blue

InhumanYour lies are so much more beautifulInhuman6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
than the truths you attempt to tell,
how I dislike the efforts you make
to be noble, it ill suits you
and your goodness holds no interest to me.
Why must we play that game
of pretending to care,
it is the moments of brutality
that spark your eyes which arouse my interest.
I prefer to think of you bloody
not draped in white,
you see with you I don't have to
masquerade as a better person.
There are times, frightening and sublime
when I feel I could throw it all away,
and walk the savage war path
without ever looking back.
But you hesitate and falter,
I do not believe in your guilt,

Truly, the walls were a light shade of orange and green. Autumnal colors, matching the current season. But my broken mind wouldn't let me see the color. To me, the walls were bleach white, like those of a prison camp. Fitting, to how I saw the cursed place. They called it a psych ward, but I saw the truth. It was an asylum. A place for the broken and insane. Like me. The last destination before you reached the point of no return.
I had been dropped here the night my mind broke itself down. It was cold, and because I spoke next to none of the native language, we had trouble finding the right place in the vast expanse of the hospita

We adapt and adjust.
Constantly dithering on the cusp
Of what is considered wrong and right,
Ensuring that our ambitions remain in sight.
We would be willing to do anything
In order to get what we truly desire.
We would be willing to risk everything
Even putting our friends in the line of fire.
We may share the bounty with others,
Allowing them to experience the fruitful taste.
Given the option we will even care for our brothers.
