Ode To the End of War
Sharpened pens were brutal swords; a war was forged
Blow after blow was struck, with blood rage engorged
Not one single word between them had been spoken
No flag of truce waved, or friendship offered as token

Nothing was off limits, nor were any boundaries set
For years they'd battled,...

Teething Tigers
Western wars brought to foreign fields
Bullet barrages blocked by grim guillotines
Petulant petrol fans the flickering flames
Courageous captains solder soldiers together
Teething tigers ripped from mad mothers to 
Carry demented decisions from bribed bullies
All hail the casket caravans of yesterday's youth...

A Cold Voyage Into the Depths of My Mind
A very dark and lonely place, my mind is
Most of my time is spent there, as not much goes on to my person
To ever take me outside of it
A fantasyland it could be thought of as
Barrages of thoughts spinning wildly off in the distance
Off the...

Wolf Drinking Water By Moonlight
Never a crescent but opalescent
This globe, suspended and always present
And the Wolf cannot be flesh or bone
In this void in time's dim desert zone

The Wolf drinks water by frozen moonlight
Tween slurps She's panting with all of her might
Behind Her is cool, clear space, not a...

~DAMAGED~


TAUNTING OF YOUR SADIST WHISPERS, ECHO IN MY HEAD
CONSTANTLY REMINDING ME, OF YOUR DESECRATION INFUSED
MY SELF~ESTEEM RENDERED UNTO ME, IN RATIONS FOR OBEDIENCE
NUMBLY, I ENVISIONED A CHANGE...THAT WOULD NEVER COME

WHELPS 'PON MY SOUL, DEEPER THAN THOSE MY SKIN
YOUR MANIACAL BARRAGES, VIRTIGUOUSLY PERVADE MY SLUMBER
FOR WANT...

Premium Member Life's Tough, Chill Friend - Try a Nap
Life's Tough? Chill Friend! Try a Nap!

An afternoon nap (for hour after one's lunch) clears the cobwebs
that make eyes' lids sag, that cocoon good intentions like they were
more butterfly's wings (1) God might hatch on the world near Time's ending.
But dreams that folks spin don't...

The Retelling of the Myth of the Legend of the Mythical Icaphus
"MY ARMS ARE SORE!" 
*silence*
"HEY!! DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ROCKS?!?!"
*silence*
"FINALLY. I DID IT! *HEAVES* "
"CA-CAAW!"
"No. You have to be kidding me. This absolutely sucks."

Legendary Icaphus then forged a knife from a broken bone,
And legendary Icaphus slayed the bloodthirsty raven!

The wings of the bird still...

Why
Why
I query my inner soul
Is it an abomination
To cherish a tender
And loving partner
In an amorous 
relationship?

Why
I query me
Is it that life
Is but a home 
Of struggle unending
For the faithful 
lovers?

Why
Again I query me
Is it that lovers can't
But face unending
Yearnings and 
yellings
In the face of selfish...

In heaven, hearts will agree… love is the answer, love is the key ~ by poet

When I see the wonder
Reflected in eyes
Dancing like stars in the skies
Waltzing with fireflies
Supporting each other, harmonizing
Like the music of laughter
Silencing every doubt, each hurt
With a gentle kindness
A distinct sort...

To Leave the Ground Unbroken
Want to know who I am?
Ask me, here I am.
My door is open, 
 for a small token,
of a borrowed ear.
Hearts made clear,
in a stolen moment,
left unspent.
 Hidden messages,
constant barrages,
soils the future,
family culture.
Tarnishes the view,
from me to you.
Acceptance,
Or repentance;
The choice is up to you,
whether you...

Sandy Hook Poems 2: Student Tributes
Here are tribute poems for exceptional children and teachers who should be alive today:

Emilie Parker,
the horror grows starker
as we see your sweet image
and cringe at the carnage;
but dear, how you mesmerize
with those vivid blue eyes
and death cannot sever
our hearts from you, ever.
