Nature's Family

Chaotic power full of rage

full of fury as powerful as its age.

Power to destroy and also create

a power to love and also hate.

 

Boundless fury fills our ears

endless motion throughout the years.

Beautiful creations fill our eyes

Everlasting in the skies.

 

Formations of gold, black, and grey

can bring either joy or dismay.

Bring down on us the tears of gods

helping the spring's new blooming pods.

 

Whispering secrets as they hit

while their father above throws a fit.

Booming and shouting up a storm

throwing spears in a swarm.

 

While Father is up there making trouble

Mother is below dancing in a puddle.

As her children form and the grow

Their forever beauty begins to show.

 

They spread their arms to catch their feed

the life blood that they will need.

Becoming bigger in lasting wonder

there are the children playing under.


Perception

Perception is merely

what we fear,

but also can be something

that we hold dear.

 

I see you as beautiful

and hate you for I am not.

I see you as funny

and love you for the thought.

 

I see you as my equal

and wish to see you so,

but I also see you as smart

and despise all you know.


Fire

Cackling light

Soothing heat

Dancing glow

Wood's defeat

 

Crimson red

Icy blue

Sun's yellow

Orange in hue

 

Beaten by water

though they combine

for steamy vapors

that intertwine

 

Lack of air

hinders its growth

loss of air

puts it out with loathe.


Hole in my Soul

A feeling inside

from which I can't hide.

Its my love for you.

A hole in my soul

 

why I don't know,

but I think its for you.

A strength in my heart

from the start

 

when I first fell in love with you.

You are my soul,

you make me whole

for I am in love with you.


The Black Knight

Death rides down the streets

of a cold dark city.

His intent unknown

but many easily guess.

 

All they see is a shadow

where his face should be

for he is death, faceless,

endless, and always working.

 

Suddenly you hear a knock

but its not your door.

Its the sound of a horse

trotting but you shrug it off.

 

You say "Ha, this is the city,

there are no horses in the city."

Then a pale white horse

steps through your wall.

 

Frightened you look and see as its rider

a cloaked figure sitting, staring.

You try to run but your feet don't

move, you try to talk but you can't.

 

Death dismounts his steed and walks

toward your paralized body and ever so

gentaly pulls out your soul. At first

there is pain but then forever comfort.

 

Your soul is gently folded and put into

a silken bag as the Black Knight of Death

remounts his steed. You know that

you are now dead.
