The Days Gone By
Its yesterday
And after all these years
I've taken the beatings
And shed the tears
But its only yesterday
There's still hope
So yesterday
I decided not to cry
I just shut out the world
And chose to live a lie
It's today
Where everything is right
We walk the lamp-lit streets
Thinking
Believing
It to be all right
We know this is a fantasy
A dream of memories gone by
But today
I stopped caring
And I'm relived
That today is both building
And tearing me up inside
Its tomorrow
And anything can happen
We could learn to fly
Or fall down to the sky
Things still haven't changed
My sleeves are still bloody
And I can still feel the pain
But tomorrow

The moonlights steady beam
Streaming down through the canopy of trees
A silent river roars beside the evergreens
The gushing water black, soulless, and unseen
Sweeping through the meadow scene
The wind whispers to each blade of grass, whispering a flicker of a dream
Life is not made of tests and money and leaders and queens
Life is this- simple, white, and clean
Life is the meadow, the sky, the free
Its right here- just open your eyes
And see
Drifting, floating, spinning
Sanity is thinning
Looking down on this tiny blue-green blob
A stray teardrop
Levitates through the black
Feel the pain like a stab in the back
The yearn, the ache, the thirst
Feel your heart ssslllooooooowlllyyy burst
Each flickering light a hole in the sky
Never knew that we could fly
Such awe,
Yet such flaw
The home of loneliness and despair
No hope, no light, no prayer
A world of insanity and hate
Perish we will, it's simply our fate
The emptyness brimming with Death
Impossible to take a breath.
You're thinking this is surely Hell.
Then look away- Break the spell
Can't.
Can you?
Beauty.
Wonder.

Danzar listened to his heavy breathing as the snow fell gently down around him. His eyes fluttered open, vision fuzzy and distorted. He groaned. Why was he shivering? Finding the strength to lift his pounding head, his eyes adjusted, and he tried vainly to capture an image of his surroundings.
Tall stone structures encircled him on all sides. The pines were coated in frost, and the ground was blanketed in white fluffy snow. He struggled to stand, only to collapse back down, lethargic and weary. Danzar knew he would freeze if he didn't get up. He tried again, muscles straining with effort. But with each vain attempt, he grew yet more exh

The Blade Tickles Her Throat
The fuzz gently brushes her finger
Sending unatural tremors through her body
The falling sun glazes a final lazy light over the land
And the trees sway with gental obedience
The snow is destroyed, the many footprints puncturing its once imposing surface
Now it has only memories of its former glory.
A sword stands lone in the cold
A glistening helmet resting beside it
The red scarf around the hilt is tossed by the breeze, suggesting misfortune had plagued its owner
She stands still, her eyes glazed with space and time
And she wonders vaugly
Why a blade is tickling her throat
the golden breeze tIckles the trees
rainbow kite soaring under water
all colors all light all darkNess
it all turns bland grey
feel your thudding pulse
Feel your rushing blood
move too fast for our own good
painful content
joyful death

never change, never remain
we are stuck in Time
it eats our soul, acid minutEs
it will be for infinite

Literature
Everybody Hates Me
I sit, pondering over the world
Sipping brandy with a swirl
I ask why I am detested so,
I'm not the enemy, not your foe
For you see,
Everybody hates me
Everyone and every thing,
I understand that I can sting
But is that reason for resentment?
I know I don't offer much contentment
You are all filled with such fear
I'm not evil, not in the least my dear
I give you order
I give you peace
I keep the world going round,
I suppose my reasons are too profound
For you to understand
Just trust me, take my hand
I will send you over seas,
I will set you free
I see your eyes are tearful
Don't be scared, be cheerful
This is not the end

The Great Hummingbird
He rubbed his paws over his groggy, aching eyes. His nose was cracked and dry, body lethargic and sore from the rude awakening. He stretched his jaws in a silent yawn, then collapsed back onto his make-shift bed.
"Astro, the sun isn't even up yet."
"I know," a quite voice squeaked, "it's only been about four hours." Ignis groaned, curling up in a tighter ball.
"Come on, lets go."
"Go where?"
"I just told you a few minuets ago and you said 'sure'! "
Ignis scrunched his forehead, trying vainly to remember.
"Nope, sorry."
Astro sighed. "Remember? I said 'Ignis, will you take me out by the riverbed for a minuet?' And you said 'sure'." He pa
