Poetry Monday: The Underwater City of Pearl Part 1

A monster will be defeated by the righteous ones
With the help of a stranger from an unknown world
Through the eyes of the Prophet these things will be done

In a distant sea, beyond the horizon
Is a magical world full of illusion
Impossible to reach by a Mariner
Only those who are true and just may enter
But the path that one seeks is filled with danger
Over a thousand years since one has ventured
For centuries this wonder was lost to all
A prophecy of recent will make the call
The new legend predicts a young man will come
To conquer the obstacles with help from some
By the words of the Prophet, shall it be done

Come here boy I have something to tell you
It’s time you learned about a secret place
Full of wonder and enchantment beyond
The likes of which you may have never seen
Yes, yes monsters and magic all around
This is a place that can never be found
How is this place so easily hidden
Well it’s under water to begin with
They say this city has never been reached
At least not in the past ten thousand years
Only one who is worthy; pure of heart
Can cross the dangers that keep it apart
What dangers are there? I don’t even know
But you can bet your tail no one will live
Through the traps that hide a place so special
This amazing place no one can fathom
Everyone has something to imagine
An amazing place where the fish can speak
They swim on up and ask you for money
Such a wonderful place to go explore

Poetry Monday: Overcoming the Burden

when death is upon you
you feel the surprise
your hands cold and clammy
you hope it’s not your time
your elegance is fading
mystery is in your eyes

what will you do now
a sensation you can’t describe
the feeling of letting go
these feelings you try to hide
you can’t throw them away
you can’t lock them inside

with the struggle within
your hope is not alive
what can be done
you’re hurting other’s lives
the madness must end
you decide in your cries

nothing can break you
nothing makes you change
the horrors you’ve fought through
the horrors of your rage
nothing will make you
nothing can break change

you decide in your cries
the madness must end
you’re hurting other’s lives
what can be done
your hope is not alive
with the struggle within

you can’t lock them inside
you can’t throw them away
these feelings you try to hide
the feeling of letting go
a sensation you can’t describe
what will you do now

mystery is in your eyes
your elegance is fading
you hope it’s not your time
your hands cold and clammy
you feel the surprise
when Death is upon you

Poetry Monday: Dreams in Love

Low and behold, the lovely one has come
How she teaches the torches to burn bright
Is this real or am I sick with rum
Hypnotized by such a beauty tonight
Here, within the sands of time, I must seek
A partner whom I will love forever
Her eyes so enchanting, I’ve become weak
Will I give her up for the world? Never
She is mine to behold, no one else’s
The powers of saints mesmerize her face
Before her, my life was full of messes
But now I’ve been blessed with her divine grace

This is just my dream; this is just my wish
Why do I have such feelings for a fish
