IllusionsHow crazy these delusions,
That arise in sheer confusion
For half-asleep it sets in my mind,
An eternity where thoughts are unconfined
Sense it makes when in this state,
But soon a reminder follows
A quick awakening brings reality, returns normality
To this half-deluded mind
As if to ever find,
Some sort of conclusion
What is normality, but an illusion?

Old FriendHello there again, my old friend
I didn't invite you, nor I ever do
How long will you stay?
Or will you ever go away?
Have you been here all along?
I thought you were gone,
Will you prove me wrong?
As long as you're here,
Don't come in too near
Keep a safe distance,
Don't consume
Find your own place
At the edge of the room

At least when I'm all alone,
I know I can find you at my home
Always by my side,
Willing to be my guide
Like an unsound ghost,
Providing company when I need it most
But I wish you would let me be,
And give back my eyes to see
I'm fal

DreamsWhat wonders the imagination can bring
With opened ear and untamed eye
Dreams that we shall toss and fling
And float about towards the sky

By luminous light of thought
Day and night will awaken newly
And become what you have sought
To find your most distant Thule

Never letting go of that which we cherish
The spirit of innocence and truth
Why without it, what would we but perish?
In the darkness of lost youth

Insane NormalityDon't fit me in your form
For i'm far from the norm
Don't try to contain
All that's in my brain
This normality,
makes us insane
In a mad world,
only the mad are sane

Memento Vivere When we’re old and decaying
And our souls set free
Our limbs will become trees
And from out those trees
Our fingers form leaves
And from out our mouths
Sprout words,
That will form into birds
And these birds will fly
To the peak of the sky
And sing songs that ring
Immortal melodies
That sift through the breeze

Grief of a GhostThe light I always imagined
The transportation I have longed
Have not come of this new state
What have I done to be so wronged?

All around me has not changed
The house I always knew
And the walls the same color
The air the same hue

Yet when I lift my hand
In front of my cold face
I see right through the figure
Barely a line left to trace

As I take a step, or clench my fist
I feel my limbs as floating gossamer
My whole form is but a mist
I never imagined it would be like this
When I ceased to exist

I hear in the next room
Cries of weep and woe
Familiar cries of my mother, my f

ArtThe corporeal embodiment of the human soul.

The Ravens of ValhallaO’er desolate shores wept the fate of immortal flames
And into a Winter sun I bleed my dreams,
as a thousand years of love & war dressed the sky
Long-ships sailed to the otherworld upon Odin’s breath
Betwixt night and day I wandered, shimmering, peering
— Till my chalice of Dragons blood flowed but no more
I became a warrior lost in the stars, drifting, ever falling,
Until the shadows entombed my soul in Raven-lore

Lo the tempest eerie; ‘magick entwining spirit and flesh
Upon snow I awoke dreary, beneath winged-silhouettes
‘Couldst be, my Princess adored; — last of the Valkyrie!
I recall — myriad of

Come Away, Come AwayCome away, come away
As I lazily lay
It was the last day in the month of May,
When it said come away, come away

Still I sit, never flit, out of wit
In my chair in the middle of nowhere
To go anywhere, I surely do care
But still I sit there, in the middle of nowhere

I can't find the strength
As I lie at full length
In this bed that I dread
But still it said,
From far far away,
Come away, come away
Like a daunting whisper, it taunts
Never leaving me, it haunts
To grant me needed ambition,
Or supply me with intuition

Carry me away, I say,
Take me away, so far far away
I can no longer

Childhood Open your bedroom window
And fly to the stars at night
Walk across the sun
And see it burning bright
Ride an enchanted unicorn
Across a sun setting beach
Then leap to a rainbow in the sky,
It being just beyond your reach
Dance amongst the clouds
And sing with angels in Heaven
Then think to yourself,
What it would be like to be seven

Speak to talking animals
Imagine what they'd say
Dream of colorful landscapes
Then live to see it that day
Move to a faraway land
And live in a golden castle
Then pause and think for a second
What life would be without the hassle

Swim alongsid

Lullaby!Gentle heartbeat old as time
Metronome tempo close to mine.

There at night when claimed by sleep
Early morning hear its beat.

Two hearts quintessentially sing
Melody soft, substance takes wing

Crooning beautifully, no stop or start.
Syncronized rhythmn, beating hearts.

In tune with life, tender lullaby
softly sung like angel's sigh.

The World of My DreamsOut of the grass sprang gentle hands
that carried me over a field of clovers
And I drifted beneath the clouds,
gazing in the idle wonder
that creeps upon men like curling ivy

There was no bluer sky than that day,
and the trees-
there have never been more hearty trees
than the giant oaks towering above me
as the hands carried me further-

And when I awoke in this mysterious land,
I breathed in the scent of moist grass,
relieved to find that it was not just a dream,
and that the world in which I lived
was as beautiful as the world of my dreams

Flipping PapersWhen they flipped those papers
I just broke down
It was all going away, all the pain of yesterday
I laughed hysterically at my own lies
As I felt myself come undone from their ties
Blinding darkness dimmed against the light
Freedom! I've come back again
Smiling is no longer fake
Living no longer a chore
All those silly days and all their silly ways
Is a distant memory now
Something my brain won't allow
That past, I will never go back
This light is too bright for it to fade to black
Dark days must come for us to know happiness
To remind us of the joy we missed

Tangled Up StringTangled up string and tangled up thoughts
Passing one down to the next
If it's just tangled up string and tangled up thoughts,
Where do our thoughts come from?
I find it from her, and she found it from him
And he found it from them
It requires such thought, to think about this
But our thoughts are one of our own
Are thoughts always one of our own?

Autumn Home

by ~Shamoneness, Oct 4, 2012, 3:43:12 PM
Literature / Poetry / Nature / Traditional Fixed Forms

The wistful wind
The tide of the trees
The red and gold color
Of crisp fallen leaves

The vast green floor
And blue tapestries
Blew right through me
With the gentle breeze

My peaceful heart
Knows its home
This great rock
Of which I roam

This is SO amazing! It's short, but It conveys so much. It paints the perfect picture, of the one place you will always have. The description of fall is so perfect. I saw it in my head like I was walking through it. I love it! Great job!
