tcs_tonsils_ 2829 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Selection of Poetry - Volumes 19 & 20 On this 11th of JULA AG PIOV, 459 E.S. The Koenas The Queen of Haense, a leader of old Her reign was oft-times troubled, stories we are told They say she was an proud leader, nothing more But her legacy is something that is still adored A Queen of Haense, a woman of might Built a palace in great majesty and height The palace was built with the finest of care For the Queen's court and her people to share Queen of Haense, leader of the time Brought a forest to life, a great feat sublime Creating forests of deep and verdant green A place of refuge for her people to be seen Falling into Nothingness In an evening of fools What is here today is here tomorrow What is here today is a brand new world. All of the past was gone All of the present is gone Now the years are pushing cold 'Tis evening and never sleepin' And the groom does his somerses in the day light And if I could have you back And the days are hours My sweet desire would sway The sand across the sea The autumn moon Should I call you When the morning should find These three words have come to me Now the morning finds These three words have come Now the morning finds These three words have come I would watch the tears fall from your eyes And I would search for you Above the winters Throughout the cosmos Into the Evening Frail as the wind, life is fleeting, Watching our days from the dawn to the evening. Wealth, fame and hopes all fading away, It’s hard to keep our dreams in play. As age takes its toll and wrinkles show, We realize how fragile we all must grow. Life is so short, we must make the most, Accept that all beauty will eventually be lost. So cling to the memories of all that you hold dear, And make now lasting, because frailty is here. When the end comes it’s too late to say sorry, But here’s to life, fragile and yet so mighty. When all else fails and the journey ends, We’ll rise above this frailty and be friends. Keep Away I don't wanna be the one who gets told to go Don't look at me and say I'm one you run from Say you will stay when you don't have to But if you want to go there's plenty of places Where the sounds of a sunset and the sun Echoes distant in my ears. It's not the end of the road There's no desire, it's still today It's not the end of the road No matter what you do it's all the same It's not the end of the road There's nothing to prove, it's still today. If you want to go there's plenty of places Greed is the Downfall When you walk in, is anybody there? When the morning comes It's hard to hold us all We're an impassioned soul Driven by desire and greed We’re our own destroyers. Desire and greed That's what makes us Realize it's just one more horrid feat. I've got nothin' but the streets I know. I can't guarantee I'll see you, When it is all said and done. But it takes more than just givin' up We're just beggars and canads. All stretching our hands towards those Are stretching their hands to us. Castles Made of Glass Castles made of glass, to you I write. How I hate the way you crumble and break, Invading my mind day and through the night, Always dreaming about the cold namesake. Let me compare you to a contender? You are more temperate, deadly and brittle. Bold frost nips the robins of December, And wintertime has the old doolittle. How do I hate you? Let me count the ways. I hate your Cracked brick, see through and brittle. Thinking of your cool see through fills my days. My hate for you is the little littell. Now I must away with a medley heart, Remember my bleak words whilst we're apart. Kingdoms Made of Stone A kingdom strong through days of old Does stand as mighty and bold. For rule and law and peace it holds As swords held high will never fold. It stands as a knight in shining armor Devoted to its people, ever secure. The legends told of its gentle rule Ringing in its ear with a dulcet lure. From border to border, near and far The kingdom renders it's shield of courage. Safekeeping its citizens near and dear Under its loyal laws it does battle rage. From kings and queens of great decree Leads the kingdom through times so tough. Through admiration, courage and zeal A strong kingdom does stand tall and proud. Ancient castle walls and golden thrones, Upholding the kingdom's best and worst. A fortress built to shelter and protect The people so loyal to it’s crest. Men and women of every rank Do make up the kingdom’s tapestry. Nobles, commoners, and farmers too Like threads weaving a history. Brave knights and brave soldiers strong March in columns, never to falter. In defense of this great land Lay their lives down strapping the banner. In the winter months the snows blanket the skies, A time for rest and renewal. In the spring the kingdom is revitalized As nature grows in full renewal. From golden sunsets to brave midnight moon This kingdom rises above the rest. For as long as its tower stands tall It shall forever remain its people’s best. Death is Lurking May my tomb come upon us, Aoulless, soulless and scared, And so I pray for when the time comes, I will be able to say good night. This will be the last you hear from me, An instant, a minute for it is written, But the curtain closes, You once promised me until the end of time. May the universe come upon us, Our time has come; the shadow fades, To forever abandon a golden complexion, Gone with the wind, troubled. Darkness descends To forever abolish my dream And pry away my destiny The hour draws near, darkness descends Walls Made of Paper A castle that looks strong and mighty, upon a hilltop proudly stands, with walls of stone, it’s so stately, but its true strength is in its hands. The castle might be wide and tall, it's turrets stretching to the sky, but if one were to push against its wall, it would crumble, and then it would die. The grandeur of it’s grand facade, the beauty of it’s towers and spires, is a testament to its charade, for its strength is only in its fires. The castle looks so strong and bold, but it’s only made of brittle stone. For it can’t withstand the weather’s cold, and soon it will be dead and gone. What My Eyes See In an endless wonder I will stay, My imagination running wild and free. It takes me away to a place of glee, Where beauty never seems to cease. The world around me is so vast, The sight of it so grand and pure. The sky so blue, the stars so bright, My heart filled with so much allure. The beauty of the ocean, the flow of its waves, The mountains that reach to the sky. The wildlife and wildflowers, trees and leaves, A place where I could stay and never die. This endless wonder so vast and so wide, Is a place I can never forget. A place of beauty, of joy and of light, A place of peace I will never regret. Wonder of an Evening Star It glows so bright above, Shines down its light of love, The sky is painted with its hue And filled with dreams so true. The stars twinkle in the night, Bringing peace and delight, The moon watches from the sky, A beacon in the darkness nigh. The evening star, so tranquil and serene, Brings us hope and a peaceful dream, It's beauty, so majestic and grand, A reminder of a better land. The stars blanket the night, Creating a heavenly light, The horizon is brushed in white, As the day turns to night. The night is filled with dreams, As the stars sparkle and gleam, Bringing peace and hope to all, The evening star stands tall. The evening star is here to stay, A reminder of the beauty of the day, Its light, so calming and pure, Provides assurance, for now, and for sure. The evening star, so bright and beautiful, Paints the night with its magical hue, Its beauty, so divine, It's a reminder of life's divine. You are the Mystery I Seek When I see your face You're a mystery You came through your life Now I wonder if you know What it feels like to be loved What it feels like to be alive And now it feels like it's over While we're young and foolish People sending us this message message that it's serious We don't know what to believe We're just trying to keep our cool Let's walk down this lonely road Keep our hope alive Even if it leads nowhere Well let love turn you blind Let your dreams turn you into a star Slumber’s Sweet Dreams How deep can the abyssal darkness go? Does the dankness make you shiver? does it? The darkness that's to deep to see, Below all others is the dusk. I cannot help but stop and wonder, I saw the the foggy visible radiation of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the daylight. Down, down, down into the darkness of the daylight, Gently it goes - the blurred, the groggy, the fuzzy. Where is the Peace? In a world where chaos reigns supreme, My refuge is a moment of serene, Where I find solace and tranquility. The worries of life are a steady stream, A world of stress that I can't intervene, In a world where chaos reigns supreme. My thoughts take me away to a dream, Where nothing can touch me or intervene, Where I find solace and tranquility. Amidst all this turmoil, I still scheme, To find a place where I can convene, In a world where chaos reigns supreme. I can close my eyes and drift downstream, To a place of peace and tranquility, Where I find solace and tranquility. Troubles and worries will never teem, In a place of beauty and serene, In a world where chaos reigns supreme, Where I find solace and tranquility. Betrayal Betrayal is a wound that cuts so deep, It stabs one’s heart, so trust it can’t keep, The faith, the love, the hope, all cease, And all that’s left is a heart that’s deceased. No one can know the sorrow that’s inside, The pain and hurt, the tears one has cried, The broken heart, the shattered dreams, The broken trust, it also screams. It is a hurtful thing to be betrayed, The hurt and pain, it can’t be allayed, It is a wound that one can’t forget, No matter how much time has past, it’s still set. Betrayal is a thing that’s hard to bear, It’s a wound that will never heal, never repair, The hurt, the pain, the sorrow that it brings, Are all too much for a heart to sing.
