Another sonnet. Why do I keep doing this to myself?
Silver Blood
The glade is beautifully silent as I Wait in the shadows, a knife in my hand The shimmering coat reflects in my eye I know that his life is at my command
Silver mane and hooves indeed shine so bright The infantile horn not more than a bud But none of those things do I seek tonight All I am after is one drop of blood
A single drop would save ten lives at least The only hope for my family dear But that's all it'd take to end this poor beast I lower my blade and let out a tear
As I weep for all the lives I've let slip His gift of silver on my face does drip
Been fighting a manic episode since last night, and poeting about it seems to calm me a bit, so here we are!
Fabricated Joy
Swimming in an ocean of fabricated joy As it rises ever higher in my maddened mind All I wasn't to do is drink and dive Until the salty happiness fills my lungs Right now I don't fear drowning Because in tomorrow I know thats what I'll want And today I'm too drunk with this water to care Yet with every sip I take Something calls me back Reminding me what is left to breathe for. I wouldn't mind losing my life That speck of sand on an unending shore But sometimes when I think of you And the easy laughter we share The way I feel when you're happy The way you see through my soul All the wonder and life and everything we share I think that maybe, just maybe, There's something worth fighting for So I let you pull me back to shore And I hold you tight, never letting go
Bonus poem written in the throes of uninspiration. Haha, enjoy!
Struck
Sometimes you can wait forever For inspiration to finally strike As you lie there lethargic From living too hard Or dreaming too small Or just because you're tired of being you You might end up writing a poem About being uninspired And then it'll hit you-- You can write poetry about anything at all And that, my friends, is power.
Just one of those days where poetry like this needs to be written.
Daily Lies
Are you okay? Everything fine with you? You feeling alright? Smile and nod Of course I'm fine Of course I'm not breaking Everything's just wonderful with me. Anything you want to talk about? More than they know But I shake my head They don't understand They simply can't. What's wrong with you? So, so much is wrong. But they think I'm crazy already, No way I'm going tell them this. But then there's you. You don't stare at me like I'm a freak. You just listen. And I listen back. And somehow, strange as it is, That's all I really need, All I've ever needed, To be okay.
Wow, I can't believe April is already over! I tell you what, guys, this has been one of the best months of my life, and it's been because of all of you. It's really been awesome poeting with you guys this April, so thank you all for the wonderful time!
A special shout-out to @LadyGemstone, @Gravitem, and @Whatchamacallit, you guys are the best.
Silken Sunset
Silken sunsets cascade 'cross the valleys Washing my face in gentle golden flames As another day's embers slowly die. It's very rare for such a quiet dusk To hold the true hope of a golden dawn, But as I sit here basking in the warmth After one more glorious day with you, All of you shining angels wreathed in flesh, I think at long last I know what friends are And I couldn't stop smiling if I tried.
