9 of 48

Let there be... ; Let there be a God, Buddha, Allah, or anything divine. Let there be an afterlife. Oh afterlife be sweet. Be heaven. Be a peaceful place for all those wandering souls That have left the earthly bodies Of our loved ones. Let them rise to something better than dark caskets That lie six feet under. Let there be...

'Battle of Weapons' Knife and Gun meet on a battle field, Boasting, counting all their casualties. "My Blade is sharp and cuts the flesh. In only seconds will flow red and fresh, The blood of those that run into me. Shining silver, the last thing they'll see." "But listen", the Gun says in return, "Shooting a hole that itche... More..

Dear composer, Softly tinkling on your piano You tell us your story. One key after the other Pushed with so much delicacy. Every note so wonderfully chosen. Rhythm is your companion.

Weathering the Storm; The sky that we look up to and adore, So very far and out of range. I am Beneath and screaming for your love to sore Above me. Sky of endless grey be damned! You are to comfort us but then you rain. Sighing trees. A band of vivid colours Now and then; A smile, a hand, I refrain! Flawed perfection, foul ... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Puppets

Puppet; Puppets on strings But the master has gone Still attached Not knowing where to belong Fidgeting, struggling To loosen the ties Trying to break away From the familiar disguise Master, Master. What did you do? How can I possibly live without you? Where should I go, what road am I to take? I'm free at last, but my life ... More..
