The Old Knight and Firebreath Part One

A king with might and piety
He rules his land quietly
Silence always seeks sound
Peace ends when it's found

A wizard casts a spell
Damning the king to hell
Creating chaos and death
Naming his creation Firebreath  

A dragon, a dragon, a dragon flies out
Fire, fire, fire it spouts
Farms, Taverns, Castles in flames
Now he's the one who reigns

The wizard loses control
The dragon burns him like coal
A creature without its summoner
Burning every commoner

A knight takes his sword
He swears to his lord
The last thing the dragon will hear
Is this man's happy cheer

So the knight goes to its nest
Bearing his lord's crest
The knight keeps his word
And slays the giant fire bird

He makes sure the dragon's dead
Then he takes the giant head
Brings it down to the town
And all he gets is a big frown

The dragon he had killed
Was still very unskilled
For that was just its child
And wasn't even ready for the wild

The knight is thrown into a cell
He slowly becomes very unwell
His mind isn't what it used to be
Still he escapes after finding the key

But the sunlight is so bright he loses his sight
He can't tell his left from right
Nevertheless he goes to the town
All he does is ask around

Where is the monster that plagued this land
He shall still die by my hand
Nobody had ever seen the knight or the dragon
The creature killed the people and left the land barren

Everyone the knight had ever known
Was now beneath sand and stone
No wonder he could escape so easily
Nobody stopped him from using the key

So where do you people come from then
We have traveled here from afar old man
Why come to a place that has nothing to offer
Our lord sent us here good and kind sir

All of a sudden a man comes running
Talking about a creature he found stunning
He had escaped the monster's breath
And avoided certain death

Where is the dragon may I ask
For killing him is my task
I saw him flying up the peak
His baby is what it seeks

So the knight asked the villager to join him
For his situation was pretty grim
His blindness is what stopped the knight
On his own he could never win the fight

After long debate the villager said yes
Promising to help the knight in this mess
They followed the destruction the dragon left behind
But when the man saw the monster he resigned

Leaving the old knight on his own
Blind and only flesh and bone
Fearing that this is the end
Still he did make a stand

Predator of Nature

I feel a sense of haste thrust out towards the coast,
All motions disturbed and turned to one way,
The sea has made the work of man its host,
Life once hidden in trenches to see light of day,

When the lonely lion lies longing for its own,
Licking a hole inflicted long ago,
Issue she had never seen fully grown,
Trying to grasp who should now be her foe,

If ears could hear the muted screeches of the green,
Would hearts be swayed enough for hands to stop?
Must pain through eyes always be seen?
Or would rain wash away branches bloody and chopped?

When sleeping heads on cussions have finally awoken,
Let the barren land once roamed be our token.

The Wingman's Sonnet

Can I tell you of this man's view,
His most blessed sight of you,
Enriched by a lively spring's hue,
A fresh love and each day anew,

Would you then not return his love,
When he sustains only with happy thought,
His mind so pulled, cornered and caught,
Your pairing not only profound but made above,

Do you not long for long-lived happiness,
Born not with wish just work, talk and a kiss,
He shall provide you more than joy and bliss,
He'll satiate your desires even the ravenous,

May I then be the first of many to congratulate,
And hope many years together be within your fate.

The Old Knight and Firebreath Part Two

He took his sword from its sheath
He felt the ground shaking underneath
He asked god for his help
And made one last yelp

Curse you, you foul beast
You have killed from west to east
Today I will restore my name
Killing you will bring me fame

The dragon heard the man's cry
But Firebreath is smart and sly
He had learned the human tongue
Hearing the knight made him overstrung

I have killed many that is true
I conquered the earth and the blue
But why should that be considered wrong
I should rule for I am strong

The knight was amazed after hearing his voice
So he thought to himself: let’s give him a choice
Leave this land and go far away
For I will kill you if you stay

The dragon burst out into laughter
And started speaking again after
You, a petty old blind man
Don’t speak like you have a plan

I will tell you now, human
See through your delusion
I no longer kill for sport
You can still leave and abort

I have lost my little one
He was my one and only son
What’s a king without an heir
I have lost all interest I swear

Mighty dragon, you seem wise
But I see through your lies
Even if you did speak the truth
You’re the one who took my youth

Grave crimes you have committed
All of honor you have omitted
Only one way you can repent
If what you say is what you meant

Fall by my sword
On your own accord
I will do the same
After clearing my name

The cunning dragon took the knife
And acted like he took his own life
The knight upon hearing this
Was filled with joy and bliss

Unfortunately he got too excited
And with his friends he was united
But in his mind his name was cleared
Thus death he no longer feared

The dragon saw the man die
So he decided to fly up high
With a sigh he went up to the sky
But then suddenly began to cry

He thought about his son one last time
Who should’ve now been in his prime
I know you killed him, sad old man
Let’s end this just as how it began

The dragon breathed as much fire as he could
You couldn’t do the same with all the earth’s wood
It made the dragon tired and weak
And finally got the death he did seek

Confessions From the Dead

Dance on my corpse oh lady of the night,
Through life to me only you have been kind,
I offer no prayer nor see you in a holy light,
I ask none in return as time will not unwind,

As the quests of men change but not subside,
So do the seas resembling my raging love,
Free from earthly desire and nevermore to abide,
Now flows out to you unbeknownst to you thereof,

Let not the peckish crows mark my place of death,
Nor brackish waters seep into my rotting skin,
Had not the cold taken from me my lonesome breath,
But left it for view for who dare not make one kin,

If one wish be made for you and yours to keep,
Know me as a watchful sky not blinded in the deep.

Tale of Humanity

Beauty and serenity,
Earth was truly heavenly,
Mountains full of greenery,
Such wonderful scenery.

No sound seemed strange,
And nothing out of place,
But when humans started change,
This no longer was the case.

First the woods started burning,
The humans’ phase of “learning”,
Then mountains were shattered,
They created from what they gathered.

Where is the beauty and serenity?
Wasn’t earth already heavenly?
What happened to the greenery?
Why replace it with machinery?

Fortunately after some time,
Humans destroyed each other,
Everything returned to sublime,
After earth recovered.

Still if you go miles away,
And if you wouldn’t lose your way,
On the long and heavy road you’d find,
The remnants of humankind.

No Motivation

Travel the earth and meet new people,
Live in the woods to hunt and forage,
Go to college and acquire knowledge,
Not follow the rules and do something illegal.

I should choose just one and carry on,
I wish I knew what I want,
I say I can do it all, but I know I can't, 
Before I know it, my motivation's gone.

I don't know what to do,
I want to do everything,
But nothing too.

Doing everything feels like nothing,
Because I never see things through,
Well, at least it's something.

Little Wimble

Little wimble is oh so small,
He sought the tallest place of all,
He's been wandering since his birth,
Looking for the peak of the earth,

He journeyed from valleys to hills,
Then to mountains with colds and chills,
Each time he climbed he had it rough,
But nowhere could be high enough,

Wimble's hands gave up 'fore his will,
He fell down and now remains still,
During his flight he came to see,
People smaller than they should be,

Although he didn't feel content,
He was glad that this is the end.

Our Only Son

(Son) Father, mother, time has come,
I’ll go out while I’m still young,
To venture out and see creation,
And wander through every nation.

(Father) Silly boy, don’t you know?
Life is long, take it slow,
Wait some time before you go,
As our child that’s what you owe.

(Mother) What will we do all alone?
Who will help us but our own?
When we’re old and senile,
Will you come all those miles?

(Son) Before you die, I promise,
I’ll come back, I’m honest,
I’ll take care of both of you,
And show you how much I grew.

But the son who went away,
Soon became nature’s prey,
Before he could come back,
He got buried in some crack.

First the parents were full of hope,
But after thirty years they began to cope,
That the next time they’d see their son,
Was when they’d died and life was done.

Death In Part

A life so giving, 
A love so filling, 
But a heart of stone,

A wife so caring, 
A child so becoming, 
But I feel alone,

I feel only the bad,
Give me what I once had,
That childish ignorance,

Must I again be a lad,
Lose everything as a dad,
Succumb to more indifference,

I curse death for my ill fate,
He has made me despair and hate,
Finish what you did start,

My mind is gone but my husk is late,
Fears hinder me from taking the bait,
I don't have the heart,

Snakes are writhing within me as I go to sleep,
I breathe slowly and once more very deep,
Finally, I feel it, happiness, never again shall I weep.
