Throwback Thursday Poetry: To Be Bold

you see her sitting there just down the way
so much excitement thinking what to say
many scenarios come to your mind
but the right words you never seem to find
too much thinking only drives you insane
this will cause a malfunction in your brain
when the time comes you will know what to do
until then my friend think of nothing new
let your life happen don’t plan each event
keep hiking that mountain don’t pitch a tent
in your time of dying you know you tried
and if she says no you don’t have to cry

Early poetry from James.

The Tales of Enderas: Woes of a Warrior

He sits skulking in the shade
the home the Winged Horse has made
in this secluded meadow
where He drowns in His sorrows
when asked why He weeps so much
“I have lost the people’s touch.
None know of My sacrifice,
when I nearly gave My life,
and so should have been My fate,
but I failed and was too late.”
with these worlds He humbly sighed
and closed His large gentle eyes
the warrior that we knew
had died that day with the few

The Tales of Enderas: Through the Bat Cave

the path you seek has danger
this path through Caves of Wonder
but to find the one you seek
prove to the Bats you’re not weak
you must first bargain with them
so you may enter within
then you must bargain again
just so you live to the end
the Bats are sly ones indeed
their only thought is to feed
they seem so nice and helpful
really they want a mouthful
they take you onto their cave
here they will make it your grave
