June

A forecast we have yet to spill,
that there's an empty windowsill,
all things silent, all things still,
still, a longing, still

Where once sun shone from eye to wing,
Oh, was she pretty; could she sing!
That such a fire, had it affection?
Doth not matter, I have a will

Some things we love cannot return
That is a lesson all must learn
Through all the hate, you'll congregate,
A special love, left not to burn

Spread wings, take flight
Throughout the night
Know you're loved; that is my will.

Shadows

Wandering through the darkened midnight bog
a slender stranger listens from the lake
striding past a glimpse into the fog
darkly leaving shadows in his wake

Oftentimes in glow of eerie light
a soul of innocence, yet all alone
when deviating from the path in sight
Shall not leave any trace of flesh and bone

A tempting lamplight shone amid the haze
it’s ghostly luminescence drew a glance
A foolish mortal creature sore amazed
wandered from the haven of the path

Searching for the otherworldly light
the hand which grasps the candle’s tarnished haft
undiscovered to the unwise child
which sought these secrets in the moonlit shafts

Worried as the full moon’s glow grew dim
he ventured back to reach the distant trail
wandering past the ghostly trunks and limbs
his futile efforts were of no avail

The lantern-light now disappeared to air
The lonely soul rebukes his witless wish
The midnight growing darker by the hour
The slender stranger lurking in the mist

Okay, two more! XD

Bowman

Hold onto the grip,
Feel a thrill as I slip,

My hand onto the string,
The arrow it sings,

For the X.
Hits where I expect

[DeMaizu]

I had to write an ode in my Writers' Workshop a few days ago, and I decided to do one about my boy dog. I swear, he is the dumbest smart dog there is alive on this planet. Anyway, here it is;

Ode to Skylos

Dark brown fur,
white socks and stomach.
Loyal, and miserable alone,
waiting for his sister
to come home from walking.
Toy in mouth,
happily growling -
but now toy is gone,
and he stares
at where you have hidden it.
Come around the corner -
"Who are you?"
Noise erupts
from his throat,
until he looks
and sees you glaring
in exasperation.
Ears up, head tilted,
what's that?
Curious eyes
seek something
through the glass door.
Fainting goat,
cat,
in the shape of a dog.

[another eternity]

you’ll hear them before you see them
as they whisper soft words into the night
the sky will be twinkling with faint stars
miles and miles and miles away
however, clouds will obscure most of their light
as well as the tints of purple and blue in the atmosphere
the chanting gets closer, and you gaze upon many figures
none look alike, yet they are all similar
with dark coloured clothes, and shining eyes
“Hello, lovely~” they coo, fawning over your mortal features
how cute it is, to have soft, fleshy skin
the leader steps forth, bright pink eyes resembling mangano calcite,
and whispers
“Would you like to join us?”

Just wrote this lil one today
I may continue this story in more poems
or perhaps I'll try my hand at actually writing a short story
who knows? lmao

[Loelya]

oh awesome, I have a lot, here are my favorite three though XD

The Sun

Morning is dark, and crisp, and still,
Until the light with brightness fills,
And throws it's rays upon the hills,
Bursting from the sun.

Up o'er the ocean tide it falls,
And stirs the birds, which soar and call,
To gaze upon, and know this all,
Signals the day that has begun.

Burning, reaching, casting light,
To chase away the dark of night,
And stretch and spread it's golden might,
Liquid warmth from fire spun.

And as it sinks below the sky,
Daylight fades, and slowly dies,
Clouds burning red to catch man's eye,
Reveals the day has come undone.

Aspire
Paint the stars with silver light,
Walk on water, the rain despite.
Come here, come near, come find your wings,
I'll dance with you on Saturn's rings.

The world spreads out before us now,
The rarest sight we've been allowed,
The angels sing and beckon, call,
We laugh, we dive, and then freefall.

The whales soar high in atmosphere,
You'll hear their songs, so crystal clear,
While waterfalls pour from the sky,
We watch and live, not asking why.

It seems the day has come to end,
But at the dawn, return, my friend.
And we'll seek out new sights and shows,
With wings reflecting morning's glow.

Immortal

I reach, stretch out and touch the glass...
I'm standing still, so time may pass
I live without a second thought,
A long lost dream, and hopeful naught.

I'm standing here, before the frame
Of mirror, broken, lost, and maimed.
But one large piece survived the years,
Reflections pass, like fallen tears.

The image comes back once again,
It hasn't changed, been worn, or dimmed.
Same person stares right back at me,
A gaze filled with uncertainty.

Observing, my reflection stands.
Same heart, same soul, same face and hands.
I haven't changed, I'm set in stone,
As years go by, I'm left alone.

Expressions dance, weave through my eyes,
With no concern, for stolen lies.
I have lived for centuries,
No one person ever sees,

How I myself, have never changed.
If they had, they'd see the range,
Of years I've lived though, and never aged,
In everlasting body caged.

us; bruised hearts, bruised skin, bruised dignity. we crawl back to each other like we forgot the ascent into hell from the last time. every time a bell rings an angel gains their wings, but every time my phone rings and you name lights up on the screen i can feel my chance at redemption slipping further and further away. i wonder how we ended up so broken

i have a ton more, but i just want some feedback!

[Ranger of the North]

Btw!
I've written
some more!
