Best Poems Written by Ember Arc

Me, Dreams, Reality

One bright night
In the Twilight of day
I awoken to a dream
With in a world of worlds 
Not my self, but still the same
What was it? Never more
What year was it? Forgotten 
One must be careful to not remember such imaginary things

The sky dose not turn 
In this world in worlds
Me, myself, god and the devil make king
Make three 

I can be anything I want to be

I stop the moon and the sun
Half of me in light
The other half dark

I sit up, my legs are gone
I rub my eyes with monkey palms
And when they open I have monkey paws
I’m climbing, swinging and jumping along
The branches of the tallest tree
Up,up,up and up I go
Till there is nothing but the sky
And a drawn out view of the horizon 

I fall

Down,down,down and down I go
Through a rabbit hole 

I’m not a monkey but a beast
Swimming to the depths of the sea
A man eater
With gills and rows upon rows of sharp teeth
The bottom is dark and cool
Something snaps my instincts
So I rush to the surface 
And breach ocean waves

I gasp for breath over a sea of Prairie green grass 
under prairie blue sky
My hooves dig into the earth
The plans stretch before me
The rhythmic earth in me
Pounding my hart to beat
As my hooves vibrates against soft sand

For Iam no longer a stallion of the plans 
But a lion of the sea
My flippers dragging my body from white sand shores
Back to the sea
Colors explode like fire works
Corals, And schools of fish 
Tranquil and mysteriously 
The vast binary universe of the ocean blue
Stretches out before me
Taunting a game of hide and seek 
I zip and zag
From Sid to front 
And back to forth 
Gliding and jumping

And

Spreading my wings
Warm damp air catches me
Coming cloud fingers through my hair
Up,up,up,up and up
I go
Till the world is a board game
boring games are no fun
So I turn to the sun, so close 
The moon so soft
I flutter and flap and sing

Till my voice is horse 
And once again I am me 
Plan, boring always in my head
Dreaming of dreams me

How I wish I could be stair light

Zooming though space
Something special 
Something free

Anything oh anything but me

I
Who dreams of milky ways and alien trains 
Of foolish wishes and Dagon kisses
A spell to never grow up

For stories don’t tell children dragons that they exist
But
That they can be Slain
And the true tragedy 
Is an adult who has forgotten how to play
In wonderland 
Because the dream of children
Rot away in grown up brains 
That will always keep them tethered to land

Oh how I wish you could all see
The child that hides 
Inside me, inside you
Inside we

How
Oh how I wish
To never grow up
Like Peter Pan 
And fly
And fly
And never land

For being told to grown up are the most devastating 
Words for a child to understand 

So I fight it
This rule that turns children into men

And that is why
I can be me
For I, in witch I mean me
Can almost remember what it felt like to be free

To not be tethered to a world of what adults think is not make-believe
So I must, I must
I must 
Stay in my head

A dreamer of dreaming dream

Letting reality be clouded over by fantasy 

For I just can’t grow up

There is so much I still believe

So much child wonder 
As if I was wonka 
Or Saint Nicholas
Perhaps even pixie dust
Happy thoughts 

Let’s get lost in story books

And by story books 
I mean history 

The truth and I are one
Times the stars, time the moon
And divided by the sun

Let’s cupphone the offspring of man
Leave a message on their answering machine
That they are none
The child,them and I are one

I’ll never grow up
I will never land
I will never stop believing in things that make
Life magical 

The world is not real
It’s the ignorance of when an adult 
Is supposed to stop believing 
And instead believes 
That all children must grow up

It’s all made up

The last strands of childhood
Raped up into in world
That you can never forget, that you must land

And every year we are growing
Growing,growing and then we are dead

Iam growing
Growing, growing 
Further and further out of childhood

Out of happy thoughts 

We get derailed by dream cops
Sucked dry until 
You forget the Bare Necessities 
And how pigs fly

And that my friends
Is all children’s fate

But not I
No no I
For I and me
And us
And we 
Will forever forget about my worries and your strife

For I do
I do
I do
I do 
Believe in  Fairies
And pixie dust
And dragons 
With all my hart
Allowing my dreams to blaze free

So that I can be anything I want

Anything but me
Because being me
Means forgetting 
And forgetting kills your dreams

So take my hand
A deep breath
Think happy thoughts 
A bit of pixie dust 
And take a leap of faith 

Believe.
