Drunk with Dreams by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Drunk with Dreams

Follow me! Don’t stray, don’t plea Sense we leave behind! Bring with you Yourself, into A journey through the mind! Conscious thought or memory Emotion or eternity Answers mix with blasphemy Don’t dare to blink But care to see The flashing of Unconscious night Or creaks and sounds Throughout your sight Where sun and star Refuse you light But cheat you not Of what you see Your hearing is not Necess’ry To see a shadowed Dream to be Time can’t touch you In a place That won’t recall Your thoughtful face As you move Through mirrored halls Reflections flee And climb the walls So al

Fathers Day by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Fathers Day

A face I learned to love so well Has left me to my grief It's hard to see the good in life When the reaper is a thief Her green eyes I'll never see Her voice I will not hear Another moment we'll never share As long as you aren't here My family, they miss you too The parents and the kin It's like they too, can't replace That little space within I remember when we were smaller When I didn't know your name You were close, but not like now The meanings not the same My mother introduced us You did not own a thing Into our house you would come With but yourself to bring As time wore on you would become Our newest family member

Il Anor III - A Hearts Journey by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Il Anor III - A Hearts Journey

A woman hugged her partner close And whispered in his ear No one heard the words she chose Save whom she called dear With those words in mind he rose And took a breath of daring And looked around at all of those His words would not be sparing It has been just a decade Since the day that they had met Under moonlight, in the hidden glade Two hearts could not forget: A lonesome spring was looming Lonely winter it had been For a young man's life was blooming Like a king without his queen A part was absent in his life That he'd sought all these years A woman that would be his wife And love away his fears But none he'd seen thus

Il Anor II - The Pirate Trove by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Il Anor II - The Pirate Trove

He started with what started him An origin of a fable A tale our brains deny a whim When passed around the table On a vessel upon the sea In times so long ago A kingdom and the wind agreed To move where it would blow A ship like that did not exist In times that we call close But in the past it sailed amidst In both sea and ancient prose The kingdom was the vessels hull With a mountain for a mast The titanic seems to be but dull To a ship that spanned so vast Beyond a ferry, ship or boat Beyond a craft or liner A descriptive word I couldn't quote For there wasn't a vessel finer The deck seemed a wooden plain And the sails

Il Anor I - Genesis by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Il Anor I - Genesis

They're little more than sayings here But I'll say them to be sure Nothing is how it would appear, Take care what you wish for If it's escapade or a silly game That you're seeking from within To send Mother dear you fear insane Your chances aren't too slim Because unlike any town or place That you've been to before There's so much more than time to waste In the land of Il Anor It's still a mystery in its own To obtain what you adore Yet few venture the burning sands unknown For the land of Il Anor It answers to a desperate prayer, To the daring who'd believe In finding hope in a desert bare By mirages that deceive It's

ABC by jazblack009, literature

Literature

ABC

Three letters make the sunlight dim And seem to haunt my days Taking life away from me In so many different ways Each subject is a priority My pen is grooved by fingers And even when Fridays past The torture sets and lingers Everyone's grown up so fast And I feel I can not slow The thing that separates us, Shows us different ways to go My year will scatter to society The criminals and workers The humble and the boastful And the majority of flirters The irony is that this determines What may become my fate Yet it takes away my living To replace it with what I hate Longing for the week to end Only to discover That the fami

Dragon's Gold III by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Dragon's Gold III

As the beast roared triumphant Among remains of mauled Helms and weapons reflected light Onto faces of men appalled The light of a Tormenter's rage Blazed throughout the night A glowing caught a soldier's eye: A blade that burned with light At the feet of the scaled tyrant A sword flashing like the sun So through the ash and blood stained scene A soldier began to run He dropped his sword and dropped his shield This boy flew like the birds As he ran towards the sword He recalled the cloaked mans words… "If the beast within the egg Becomes your greatest foe Use its fire against itself With blade of fiery glow" He took the b

Dragon's Gold II by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Dragon's Gold II

So with the mind of the twisted king Inside the dragon's head (A cursed dragon and evil beast Unloved and Overfed) It ravaged the kingdoms enemies Destroyed them with its storm A storm born by its hateful rage When its heart was torn The lightning cracked the fire roared The people cried in pain Little could withstand this force All efforts were in vain The cities fell one by one To the madness of the King Until he had thrice what he'd paid For that dragon sibling To ensure his wealth would last He would hide it all away In a cave below the Mountain High In a land so far away So as the king of greedy sin Marvelled at his

Dragon's Gold I by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Dragon's Gold I

Dragon's Gold It was a dark and stormy night The moon hidden in the sky Cold winds had froze and the lightning chose The fates of heads held high The thunder roared in clouds above It rumbled on below The ground disturbed by the marching heard: The army that would not slow So the storm and swarm rolled on There was lightning in their eyes Rain still hailed, flags still sailed Towards what they despised The earth was littered with broken skulls Charred bones and blackened shields The dragon's fire engulfed men's desire None have survived these fields Legends of this lands been told By people young and old Inspired greed f

The Taste of Life

The Taste of Life I need some paper with lines of blue So I can sit down and write to you The Rumours that you’ve heard are true Living’s lost its taste I sit alone here with kin and friend I sit alone here once again And leave my brain to comprehend How living lost its taste There’s no such thing as the cold up here Nothing but heat year after year Is there winter I could commandeer? My living’s lost its taste Midnight seems just two steps away There’s few steps left till New Year Day My train of thought moves toward the fray Where living lost its taste The train points forward but we move back To w

Perfection? by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Perfection?

How long have I been waiting? How long can all this last? Ideas are Congregating But were hiding in the past Ideas seem to come too late When everyone has gone No one wants to sit and wait An audience withdrawn I'll impress my reflection Or stir the likes of you If I kill your inspiration I'll have to cloud your view My life is like a journey With origin and end Words are my attorney And rhymes a closer friend Am I a talent counterfeit? Why refuse to read? With a mind that won't commit And words you would not heed What do I have to make you do? To keep you all returning I'm running our of words for you My mind forever

Monday by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Monday

Wake up to a Monday that you've never met. You're two minutes in but not ready yet. At the end of the day you'll just want to forget, Or pretend. Your showers too long and the bus is too quick. Wouldn't stop for you, some state transit prick No time for breakfast, so you're gonna feel sick, Hours on end. Who knows if your chances will stay the same? Monday will stay as long as you do Right now you feel school is more than lame One day you'll say you long for sky blue Catch a late special don't know if it's yours. Get on any way, to steel eyes and square jaws. Used to Monday with her retractable claws, You don't care The ot

Masks by jazblack009, literature

Literature

Masks

Masks of stone and masks of jade Masks of tongues that may persuade The devil in his throne of fire To give in to his own desire And destroy the masks of all you know With everything but face to show Giving birth to honest plain Where lying people still remain Thoughts and feelings all will hide Behind facades that won’t subside With apathy towards the soul Sacrifice for self-control Masks of gold and masks of steel Some masks never made to peel But slowly give in to erosion Or outburst of your self-emotion And for a time would give away The things that flee from light of day Against the will of mask and wearer Now an

Literature

Smells Like White Spirit

Smells Like White Spirit (sing along to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana) With sealant guns and two strange friends You think we work, we just pretend It's all a fraud, we're not insured Oh No - have you just overheard? How low, how low, how low will we go? How low, how low, how low will we go? How low, how low, how low will we go? How low, how low, how low!

Gulf in Beliefs by relativestranger, literature

Literature

Gulf in Beliefs

Religious hate of jealous pride The strong committed genocide The waste of life, the human tide Of dead bodies float through the night Through it all, our time we bide Wait for the right time to strike Then in we go one simple stride Attack forthwith but hurt both sides We went for good, we made it worse And that’s why all the old men curse That war Destruction on a global scale Opponents all locked up in jail A brand new war where daddy failed A new set of orphans to wail The reasons covered by a veil A flimsy WMD tail Excuses given have gone stale As more and more coffins are nailed The traffic jam, another hearse A

Counting for Nothing by tightwhitepants, literature

Literature

Counting for Nothing

Fourteen hundred paces wasted walking to your door, and every time a pointless pounding headache - sore, resounding, raw; what follows next? as you'd expect a shocking exhibition of that bloody mix of tears and spit and semen spilled across this gritty floor. and from the day that we last spoke I've counted twenty-four. How come I'm your ignored - you must have grown so bored of me and now my fingers, gnawed and nails all bitten paw through scores of letters better left unwritten - never sent, now torn and scattered, littered with my bitter thoughts unuttered, so utterly distraught I am, I poured a litany of scorn and lo

Goodbye by lunaiy, literature

Literature

Goodbye

"Goodbye" is such a cheerless word, the heartsick's grieved farewell, The acrid taste of distance come to tear the joy away From all that you have seen and heard, as many come to tell-- For all that's left is horrid numb; the world is painted grey. They say the sign for love is found, a single blood-red rose, But I, I know, there's nothing quite the anguish, quite the pain, Resplendent 'midst the thorny ground, and wretched in repose-- There's no such thing as starry nights and glasses of champagne. For love is bittersweet, and though the world may soon forget, We only reap what we have sown, no greater truth we'll find. It's easier

Hide and Seek by AceOSpades, literature

Literature

Hide and Seek

I'm playing hide and seek with God He hasn't found me yet He counted to infinity And didn't break a sweat If you were me, where would you hide What tiny sinful nook... Where's the place, upon this earth, Where God won't think to look? First I hid behind a stone Too big for God to move He hoisted it above my head With not a thing to prove I realized that God could see Where I would choose to go The future is an easy thing For omnipotence to know So then I thought about my will It seems that fate is bound How am I supposed to hide When I'm already found? Then I thought about the souls Of everything on earth I thought of

Modern Magic by tightwhitepants, literature

Literature

Modern Magic

The witch Baba Yaga once baked herself bread out of spiders and liars and red razorwire that was garnished with flowers from the vaults of the dead, and sweetened with lye from a child’s funeral pyre. It was light as the crisp, cracking bones on the fields and as sharp to the taste as the ash-scattered shards that were all that remains of the swords and the shields of the warrior king and his bold bodyguards. In a chicken leg hovel at the edge of a wood the witch Baba Yaga licks the dregs from the spoons that she used to stir soup, spiced and thickened with blood that the dying ones spilt from their widowing wounds. But her

A Lifetime Waiting by Robino, literature

Literature

A Lifetime Waiting

A Lifetime Waiting: By Robin Nederlof. Eyes like ocean blue. A body beyond my wildest dream. The first time I saw you. I told myself, I had never seen. Butterflies inside of me. You just aren't from this planet. How come you are all I see. While you are so far out of my league, damn it! Even if I would be surrounded. By thousands of women who look so pretty. I would still pick you out of it. Because you are the only one I see. Rejected again and again. I guess I was never in your plan. For another man you fell. And turned my life into a hell. He had everything I didn't have. A pretty face and a great voice. My

The Mountain Ghost by AceOSpades, literature

Literature

The Mountain Ghost

A summit, on a mountain high, Where many climb, and many die. A challenge placed upon the land, Where all the heroes come to stand. But far below the stormy peak There's a little frozen creek. Chilly earth meets frozen grass, Where every hero has to pass. Right here is the perfect place To look upon the mountain's face And bite your lip, or bow your head And see the daunting climb ahead. Get your drive, and get it here Get the nerve, and lose the fear And by the time you have begun You'll know the hardest part is done Up there, by that tattered post, Lurks the famous mountain ghost. He talks all the hopeful souls Out of

The Quest for Truth

0 min read

It is becoming ever harder to find, top notch rhyming poetry on DA, so i figure I'll have a journal where i can feature some people who should be mentioned if the topic of rhyming poetry is mentioned, in my opinion anyway... I'll update this as i find more talent ^_^ first and foremost, one of the best rhyming poets on DA imo: ~AceOSpades (https://www.deviantart.com/aceospades) all his work, has many things in common, his work is a pleasure to read, his poems are clever and thought provoking and he keeps coming up with new ways to do it, i take my hat off to this guy. (you should to) A new face... well to me :icontightwhitepants: A very knowledgeable poet, and his work

Rhyme scheme change

0 min read

Well after a while i realised i don't have enought time to double rhyme my whole poem so i'm going to switch to the rhyming scheme i used in Il Anor for the actual story and the double rhyming scheme for flash backs and stories of the past. the idea was suggested by ~Garnet-43 (https://www.deviantart.com/garnet-43) a poet who writes those heart warming little rhymes, mostly humourous and very talented, she's also helping new poets to standon thier own two feet, which i think is very generous. :iconaceospades: Go read this guys poetry if you have a spare moment, if you have to choose between reading one of my long ass ones or three of his talented ones go and read his :XD

The Stranger's Story

0 min read

Yeh thats the fourth part of Il Anor, and its coming, i have the story in my head. i just need to find words to do it justice. I havn't been writing Il Anor that much lately i've actually been looking around at some other poetry and found two very cool poets. ~AceOSpades (https://www.deviantart.com/aceospades) AceOSpades (https://www.deviantart.com/aceospades) is a brilliant rhyming poet and IMO one of, if not the best in DA. I would try and recommend a favourite but to be honest i just can't chose, they're all very clever. :iconbeautifullywasted: BeautifullyWasted (https://www.deviantart.com/beautifullywasted) is a talented poet and photgrapher, his poetry uses different rhyme schemes and good topics to write on, also worth a read. And finally,
