Oceane, Adrift
Undone from sea-moorings,
I float.

The sea has bid me barren, an
island with no anchor.

Bleak and pale I drift,
to and fro.

Gentle giants nudge me,
their fins propellers – spurring
me on.

Sailors cry out, their
voices lost amid deep thoughts and
deeper dreams.

I drift, an island set
free too soon.

Anchorless, I ride storms and waves;
the way children ride ponies.

Torn from my harbour,
I sail.

More unnamed lyricsFire in the sky, dug deep, thrust high
Torn apart, ripped open in lust
Promises nailed to flesh

Far cry from civil tongues in heat
Varied spectrum over stolen air
Scattered oceans weep

Boundaries lifted
Warlord's advice
Forward step
March
Degrade

Mammals stride
Gods collide
Hammer's sparks
Fight
Rally

Pathways of fractured glass
Breathe smoke and blood
March on through famine and strife
Bear death's mask on every skull
Unison unto death, souls arisen in prayer

Column
Rank
Grief
Pain

Heart's death
Sorrow's breath

Good Morning, BoyHis wide eyes crack, raw with sandy sleep,
and soft light breaks over the mossy shingles of
far away rooftops --
a kindled spark of excitement while he
pretends to be sleeping.

The breeze,
soft as his stuttering
breath when it sighs, in and out of his falling and
rising breast,
clings to the air like a little brother,
toddling behind to stare open-mouthed at
how fast over the barns the wind can walk.

Oh! Good morning, boy.
You're awake after all.
His hair falls into shaggy golden hills that
shine with a farm's sun-tinted wheat.
His head rolls, drawn up by a slow and motherly string
until he is smiling at the little hous

Fleur de la mortIt was your laughter that had at first drawn me to you;
so wonderfully simple and carefree.
You came across as unusually innocent,
and it seduced the corrupter in me.

Sonnets of syrup spilled from your rosebud pout;
sweetening the bitter pill you willed me to taste.
And with my eagerness to please you,
I obligingly swallowed with unquestioning haste.

An angel you appeared to be,
blessing me with nightly visions of a most colourful heaven.
Discreetly you sewed the remnants of its crystalline shades,
which sprouted to ravenous hunger by week seven.

Within me flowered pure ecstasy;
that flourished with every indulgent feed.

The joys of pulling out a splinterNourish those overcast Mondays
Like Coco Pops
Stop,
Lock
And drop the confetti frown. It’s
what’s keeping you down

like the pour, the dull throb of raindrops
Bounding across the pavement
With their lunchboxes.

I’m not saying you have to get wet,
Brave the maelstrom for your boss,
Your teachers
The petrol costs

Just promise you’ll greet that sunrise
Stark naked for the sake of it,
Take apart the clothes of your curtains
Courtly and proud
Of what
King and country call unmentionables.

Use your hands to make sculptures
Out of every door handle
Avoid all the preamble because all they do is leave splinters
In your brai

Modern Family"You know what you are, son? Lazy, that's what! When's the last time you shot someone?"

Eros sat impassively in front of his PS3, thumbing the controller at godly speed, while his father, Ares, was fuming by his side.

"Ares, dear, you know how he is," his mother said peaceably, placing a large bowl of popcorn on the table. "He'll do it when he feels ready."

Ares was a bit of a workaholic. He maintained his athletic physique though hours of grueling training every day, and he made damn sure there was at least one war somewhere in the world at all times, to keep himself busy. His son Eros, on the other hand, had always been the pudgy, lazy t

Sting.My face burned as she pulled her hand away. "What the fuck?" I yelled. But before I could register what she did, she did it again. "OWW!"

"How could you do that to me?" she growled, her face streamed with tears, "You told me you loved me!"

"What are you talking about?" I panicked, backing away.

"You said you'd never leave me, and that we would be together forever!" Her body wracked with sobs, "Why did you leave me so soon?"

I stood there, frozen with shock, trying to register what she was telling me. I stuttered, "A-are you okay?"

"No!" she shrieked, "I can't take it here without you! My life is in pieces and nobody sees my mask failing&

Lost within LoveShe lost her mind loving him.

EclipseAt summers height,
in the morrow of mid-day light.
Was birthed a darkness,
that obscured the great ones glare.

Its shadow bore despair.
So mothers wept,
and farmers cawed,
as their belief bled.

The Titan ruled,
but for an hour or so.
Only to turn and flee,
when the light approached.

Time too Short

Literature / Poetry / Sociopolitical / Free Verse

Our world today had been changed
From one of safety, to another deranged
We gasp and cry at the news we hear
Hoping it is a dream
But what matters more
Is the parents who think
of these words so cold

Those little children
Special friends
they are little fighters
Right to the end.
Gone from our lives
But not from our hearts
We'll keep them there always
Like we have from the start.

No parent should ever
Outlive their child
But now we must see
the lesson on trial
Pray for these families scorned by hate
and let us hold close
Our family blessed and safe.

This is a poem I made in honor of all those children and staff that lost their lives to that horrid man. Please pray or at least learn for the residents and families affected in Newtown, CT.

Life in its blessed state is pure but fragile. Don't let it waste, wilt, or snap before your eyes without cherishing it.

I heard about this from our relatives who are attending the school. It was horrifing. How close they were from losing their lives.

~tyler9862 Jan 10, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

mhmm; its insane, intense, and painful. But thank god your family was sparred

~ajjkmon Jan 11, 2013

I still wake up every moring in this pain-riddled world wondering how such an unworthy race rule this planet.

It is a mystery to ponder but one I cannot answer. I don't think any species really is worthy to be honest. I started pondering the ideas of buddhism and a lot of things make some sense. This though is one of them I don't think any religion can give a true answer to

Thanks. It hit my state and my friend is kin with a victim. And people were spreading hate or trying to make issues over their deaths; Fight hate with love right?

I hope she's going to be okay,

yeah I guess that is true, theres not much else to do, but
to unite against anger

~tyler9862 Dec 29, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

She will be.

And yes, they left without one protest. They knew they would not be able to and they left. We took it as a victory
