So, just about everyone I know has their own thread in AMW, and I decided it was high time I started one of my own. I'm no artist, but I fancy myself to be a bit of a poet. Here's a few by myself:
The Five Seasons
In the cool of these days I lie in the grass and contemplate In a fresh and gentle haze These beautiful breezes of late I long for times to go on forever But alas, they always stay never
Through the days of heat I long for the autumn Through this swelting waves to beat A cold, wet column Like a fresh breath of life To end this heated strife
In these months so gold When fresh joy enchants The colours grow bold With gusts of cool windy rants I fear my life is gone When these perfect days move on
Like a renewal of heart These ages are bathed in white When gone are the times of hurt Here the young are fresh with delight Sweet peace, joy, and love Soon flies away like a dove
Ah, this fifth season It is how I am alive It ends without reason It all too soon doesn't arrive When this season is gone To the afterlife, I move on -------------------
You Live To Die
Men live, men die A pat on the back Beats a poke in the eye This pendulum is out of wack
As life marches on, love might find you If it does, it might stay Or it might sail on with a ship's crew If it's still there, hooray
Soon, tragedy strikes you down Life starts to end, fall to pieces around your ears Those bright lights of love may turn brown If you're lucky, come true will all your fears
Soon pain will come 'round Like a swimmer drown'd You have no will to be alive You impatiently wait for death to arrive
When you see him come over the hill You run to greet him, as a friend Suddenly, to life you have the will But it's too late; come, has the end ----------------------------------
The Long Road As I walk along this road I see many dead on the road I see bodies on the road I see limbs on the road I see heds on the road But never on this road Have I seen love on this road Never once happiness on this road Everything is dead on the Long Road Walk life traversing the Long Road ----------------------------------
I'll add more as the days go on Even though time leaves I'll not be long gone For he that in me truly believes
