I've been writing poetry a lot recently and I decided to post it here. Ummm...It kinda gets a little morbid, I don't know why, so, just warning you. I hope you enjoy.
LIFE, DEATH, & TIME
I'm falling in time.
The timing of rhyme.
The falling of eternity.
It feels like falling eternally.
Too many things are on my mind.
Too many times when life is unkind.
But that is what life is.
The breath of life that's God's first kiss.
Sometimes I wish life was not so complex.
I wish I could, this life, annex.
So many deaths shown to cold hearts.
Almost as if death is an art.
I'm watching black snow now.
I know it's black, I don't know how.
It mixes with cherry blossoms red.
The colors of the lifeless dead.
THE WARRIOR'S LAST WORDS
The swords clashed as darkness grew,
Their feet of ash, their clothes ash too.
They disappear as their speed is matched,
In their spirit's deadly clash.
They fly to fight one another,
Showing their hate for each other.
They hold each other at swords length,
Trying to best the other's strength.
They are matched, but know not that,
They keep fighting like dog and cat.
They break apart in disarray,
Causing sparks to display.
They gasp, huff, and wheeze for breath
As they play this game of death.
The one mutters words of hate
As the other begins a different spate.
They jump into the air as if,
To them flight is but a gift.
They reach each other in midair,
Their swords slashing with deadly flair.
As they land, one continues to fall
And listens silently to his judgement call.
The victorious turns, sheathing his sword.
He opens his ears for his opponent's last word.
As crimson life flows freely out
he says to not die in regret or doubt.
TODAY IS NOT MY DAY FOR WORDS
Spoken words go unsaid.
How I wish my toungue not fled.
Today is not my day for words.
A friend's murder could have been stopped,
and ally's sentence could have been dropped.
Today is not my day for words.
I could have fixed another's heart.
Instead of healing I made it smart.
Today is not my day for words.
Now I stand here and I cry
for my friend who, today, did die.
I could have stayed the killer's hand,
but my toungue was tied, I could not stand.
Today was not my day for words.
So as I pick up this cold gun,
and point it at me, my father's son,
I remember all the times that I
could have spared you from your cry.
But then I go on to think
of how my words made your soul sink.
Of all the words I could have said...
and soon we will both be dead.
But then, my life was never one of words.
PS: I do NOT condone suicide. Sorry, but when I wrote this stuff it came to me I didn't really control it. It was in my head and demanded to be on paper. Ummm...Yeah...I am a little disturbed by the fact that there was suicide involved, but...sorry. Anyway post comments please.
