Flashback Friday Poetry: Pessimistic Optimism

wondering what dreams may come
in this life that i’ve begun
lost within the Darkened Skies
that lurk above my hope-filled mind
how do i, in all this mess
keep myself from being stressed
i can barely stay alive
but nothing seems to kill my Drive
now what seems to be the end
is a starting point again
to take a new turn in life
dare to endure that awful strife
is the fight more rewarding
or the prize its regarding
Darkened Skies that fill my head
will remain there until i’m dead

Throwback Thursday Poetry: Through the Moon

i sent a Message through the Moon
to someone special i once knew
it’s been many years since this June
that i last saw the one i knew
all of this time that did ensue
a Message through the Moon i sent to you

the Emissary of my Dream
the one that truly speaks to me
in my heart is the shining beam
of you this beam does remind me
the Message that’s been sent you see
the Fantasy of all i wish to be

you in my heart is all i’ve known
trapped here within my own sorrow
shivering my skin to the bone
without you i feel such sorrow
in this Curse of torment and woe
a Message through the Moon i sent my soul

The Tales of Enderas: Pixie’s Lament

Pixies of the night we be
with the rising sun we flee
mischief we live to create
wreaking havoc is so great
upon the fall of the Five
great pleasure came to our lives
such chaos and confusion
a world that fueled our passion
soon others became tricksters
pranks pulled by other mixtures
our reputation had gone
outcasts we were for so long
when peace returns to our home
mischief will be ours alone
