Farewell to Thee

I've seen your face here for all these years, And so, for thee I shed sweet tears. You're leaving the place that you know so well, To move on in the world--Farewell. You're leaving these halls To walk a different path. Your steps now echo within these walls, And memories come easily in the aftermath. Success will come to thee, I know-- Remember me as you go. My heart is sad, but wishes you well On your journey to distant lands. Wait for me, I want to yell, But your future is only in your hands. I pick up the pieces that you have left to me And piece toge

The HeroOne day, someone remarked about how disgusting I was, being so astoundingly fat.  Everyone else just laughed.  No one thought about how it would feel to be in my position.  There’s an Indian prayer that says let no man judge his neighbor until he has walked a mile in his neighbor’s moccasins.  They obviously hadn’t heard of it.
I was lost in thoughts of embarrassment and vengeance when I saw a pair of feet in front of me.  I had been looking at the ground and now I looked up into a well-tanned face.  The dark eyes looked into mine.
“Hello,” she said.
“Hi,” I replied.  I felt confused.  I should go around The Hero

crush"Hope" is the thing with feathers Soaring and arcing in the heavens. The air claps with imitations thunder. Suddenly, the body crumples, The wings flailing. As the body lies on the ground, The scarlet stain spreads So thick and dark Oozing almost black now, On the pure, white breast. The naive spirit has fallen. crush

Ocean SoulsWalking along the ocean, Just after the sun has risen, I can feel the cool, wet sand beneath my feet. A fog swirls around me And I know that it is really souls of those lost at sea Come to visit us.

ScarabThe dripping sun Washes over me Like waves of lava. It soaks every hidden corner of earth. The slippery sand is bleached white And sweats with heat from the sun. The sky is washed clear With the inferno of the sun. And mirages jump up And dance From the earth, Living spectres of Hell. Even the dry wind Tastes hot on my lips. Nothing may escape from The liquid inferno Of the desert sky. Scarab

OK. So I finished putting up the poems that I feel are my best. Not all of them are my very best, but they're my favorites for whatever reason. (Even if they're my favorite, doesn't mean I think they're well-written. I just like them.

) A lot of poetry, and I still have some at school, which means I'll need to drop some from the gallery to add those. No big. I'll drop the ones that I think aren't as well written, but some of those I really do like. Mer. Anyway, that's all for now.
