The hearts bondThe hearts bond7 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
The hearts is a strong thing it binds two souls together in the beautiful thing called love. love is the connection that brings two people together. as distance may separate the body it will not separate the heart. absence makes the heart grow fonder. Those who take this amazing thing for granted are not but fools. love may be strong like steel but if tempered just right even the mightiest of steel will bend and break. be not a fool but a wise man or woman and embrace the love you are given. hold your mate forever more and let the wings of love protect the love.

To Know SomeoneTo Know Someone4 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
We bear the scars of hurt and strife
Collected in the course of life.
Our hearts we guard with jealous zeal
And hide what we most deeply feel.
Though loneliness persists within
Not satisfied with simple sin
Coarse lust can never sate heart's need
For love in body, mind, and deed.
When by sheer chance two people meet
Their armored souls from head to feet
Must be ungirded carefully
Slowly, to let the other see
That there is not a thing to fear.
Unguard the feelings we hold dear
To share the secrets deep inside
With honesty, no thought of pride.
There's openness with no pretense
So lay aside your last defense.
And for a moment

Hamlet opened his eyes. He had heard someone calling for him, deep from his dreams. Who was it? The sleepy dog looked around, he saw a familiar face "Oh! Eris!" "About time Hamlet! This was almost the fourth time! Heavy sleeper!" Hamlet stood up, he had slept all the night but, somehow, felt tired. He looked at Aderyn, laid next to him, still sleeping, she surely was a heavier sleeper than him "Hamlet, we have to go" Eris started "Beyra wants us all down there" she pointed with her head a place near the wood outside with a very big rock and, actually, few figures

Ghadhanfar is the oldest child of Ghadah(mother) and Gamba(father). He has 2 younger sisters, Abebe and Daia. He does love them even if he spends most of his time wishing they would just go away. He'd rather be out with Zenta than learning pride laws and politics, as he must do to become king, or baby sitting the cubs. Abebe frequently gets him in trouble because while he is suppose to watch her and the other cubs he will start showing off and flirting with Zenta. He knows he needs to be responsible but he still has a difficult time putting thought to action. He is a arrogant but knows when he has been proven wrong and has been humiliated man

On The Inside His eyes show a devastating shade of darkness. The scars on his nose are signs of a streak of losing. They etch deep into his muzzle, around his flanks and neck. They almost make up a whole new set of markings on him, ones he was tattooed with rather than born with. And he lays silently, watching the people passing him up. He's lost everything, and he recalls this. He's ashamed of his marks, of his battle scars, of the fact that he had ever been in a ring.On The Inside1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This

Dear ShelbyIt's youDear Shelby2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
who stood by me
while I grew up
It's you
who never backed down
when life was rough
It's you
who held me up
through all those years
Yes, it's you I fear,
who went away last year.
And it's you
who still lives on
in my heart
And it's you
who never wears
or falls apart
Because it's you
who I feel around me
still
At night
while I am lying there
Because it's you
who I feel around me
still
When I'm outside
and the air is fresh
and the memories of us
walking alongside
oh, they never dull
because it's you
who I will always remember
it's you who will always
be here
forever.

I Don't Blame YouI feel used sometimes,I Don't Blame You3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
But I don't blame you.
It's my spirit that is gracious,
And my fight weak, too.
It's my devotion running deep
In contorted little knots.
Do I continue to impress,
Or let this relationship rot?
I feel lonely sometimes,
But I don't blame you.
It's my heart too reliant,
And my mind frail, too.
It's my hope for the future
And for my dreams to come alive.
Do I let these desires drive me,
Or do I allow them to die?
I feel lost sometimes,
But I don't blame you.
It's my emotions in bloom,
And my thoughts positive, too.
It's my happiness when you're around
Bringing me assurance.
Do I continue to smile,

It rushes by,
We walk right past
Stare for a moment,
Maybe less.
We waste it on money,
Fortune and fame.
We walk right past love
Until it fades away.
Then we are greedy
As we were all along,
We ask for time back,
But it's long gone.
We beg and plead,
To have time back
To hold that love in our arms,
To make everything intact.
But time is not fair,
It treats us no favor.
It walks in and out of our lives,
Making no stops for believers.
Believers of hope and love
And second chances.
Time grants us none of those,
It merely flashes
Just a brief second,
We learn in the end
Time is not here for long,

This Is The OneIt's no surprise the ones like me stay locked up the longest. I have the potential to pull someone to the ground with little effort. I also, more knowingly, have the potential to inflict wounds. But, with or without the potential, does it matter if it's not what I ever intended to do? The sad reality for me, and those like me is, while we have the potential to hurt, we don't have the potential to prove we can love. No, we don't have that at all that was taken away from us many years ago.This Is The One2 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

Und sie trägt ihr Sehnen hinaus in die Welt

Sodass sein Sehnen, sein Leid, vergeht

The day was humid, the sun was still high
While I waited for the gray mini van
Hundreds of colorful cars sped right on by
Finally they came; one red and one with tan
Both were hyper and fuzzy, a boy and a girl
With light brown eyes and noses of dark pink
The red stayed, while up his sister did curl
On a blanket alone; both small as mink
My puppy was brave and showed not his fear
For he whimpered only once before he slept
Agile was he, like all kinds of brother deer;
Only loving and he was never unkempt
Guarding me from things that were proved harmful,
Always there, my dear beloved dog Carmal

In the solace of the blackest dawn I seek you
Where unblinking eyes sojourn in forests wild,
the kiss of ash and sanguine bespeaks
Whispers of a thousand skies rust and fall
The syrup of the gloaming hums thru the trees..
Obsidian mists bejewel the hunger of my soul,
like silhouettes dissolving into the poise of talons
In murk of scorched grove, Witches tears drip from
the leaves caressing the tip of my tongue
Acrid winds scented by forbidden incantations,
slither deep into the prelude of Love's sacrament

The caramel coloured cat dunked his brown patched head under the icy streaming water, his grey eyes exploding from the intensity of the cold. Damian was once again trying to clean his fur. However much time he had spent grooming the mud off, he always missed a bit. It felt refreshing to have the freezing liquid wash through his thick and ruffled fur, though if he had a choice he would of much preferred to be groomed by another cat. Just as he felt he couldn't hold his breath any longer, the small tom tore up from his shallow part of the stream and scrabbled out, careful to avoid any mud clinging to his fur again.

Tzurai didn't have many duties to do today-- really only needing to train her apprentice, which she did, so now she had two choices; Sleep, or explore and possibly hunt. Her body screamed against her protests to take a nap during sunhigh, so because of that she set out to hunt and stretch her paws. She hadn't been to the lake for a good day or so, and figured there was no harm if she traveled there now-- and besides, it was too nice of a day to stay in the confines of the camp.

Silently through Moon's soft light
Prowling through the lonely night
Moving swiftly through the snow
For I have many miles to go.
It is not sustenance I seek
My belly full, my fur is sleek
No prey tonight will feel these claws
Nor crunch between my cruel jaws
I move through places new to me
Uncaring who or what may see
Though silent as the dark am I
And in their quiet beds they lie
Why must I run this lonely race?
What forces on at such grim pace?
The ancient call has gripped my soul
Dark loneliness consumes me whole
Am I the last one of my kind?
I put the cold thought from my mind.

The forest animals start to come out of the dents.

All starts to come to life as spring arrives.

Parents guide them through the unknown.
Their footsteps are at first unsure but later they become full of life.
The voice of happiness of the young ones now echoes across the lands.
