World of sorrows, world of fears
World of pain and world of tears
Grey blankets cry and hide the sun
Shadows fall; fell dark has won.
Ground a tremble, deep wellsprings quake
Hearts broken, millennial guardians shake
Ghouls rise and hover, the forests sigh
Spirits gloat and grin, their time is nigh!
A young girl waits
and hopes
and prays
for an angel’s call
to rally
to save.
But there is no answer.
Young men cry, old men cower
Where now is the ancient power
Where now is the witness tower
Why hast thou forsaken us?
A young girl looks and sees a star
a bright, a light from angel far.
Trumpets ring! Heavens sing!
A glorious sun! The night is done!
The angel’s grim smile,
the demons’ foul shrieks
the sword rightly cleaves
and lo
the dark
it leaves.
A young girl now rejoices at last
to see the sun and the shadows past
to see the yellow flowered places
to see the sweetened roses’ faces
to climb the emerald grassy stair
to feel the wind’s song in her hair.
Tag: poetry
I think I’m in a poem writing mood.
Springlight
Golden beams slide through double doors
Lazy notes fill the air with springtime
High voices reach the marble balcony above
Snow orbs and cobalt spheres float like doves.
Chocolate flows like river swift
Trumpets blow and strings sing
He bows and ever so gently asks
She smiles and her heart unmasks.
How long the night!
How rich he danced!
How sweet she sang!
How their hearts rang!
Her dark hair laughed upon her head
Her coral gown softly framed her smile
Her blushing feet moved like lightning
And how her cocoa eyes glanced, brightning.
Sitting at last with comrades dear
Sharing sweets and talk alike
But now the final music trance
But now the last spring-sun dance.
Gently the waves of music issue
Tenderly does he take her arm
Softly does she touch his back
Slowly, slowly, fade to black.
Almost over is the star-wished night
Out into moon smile do friends alight
And ever drenched in spring shine rain
Do happy and weary eyes in ending, bright.
So, it’s spring break. I just realized I haven’t written anything substantial in a long time. Right now, I’m at home in Tampa, chilling in my room while Rob plays Madden ’02 on his Gameboy. He just got here today and tomorrow we’re going down to Sarasota to finish off our spring break before going to Gainesville. But I’m starting this off all backwards. Let’s go back a little ways…
This semester’s been pretty good so far – even though I have a lot of work, I like most of my classes. Intro to ISE. Financial Accounting. Operations Research. Statistics 1. AutoCAD. The hardest one is probably Statistics, but at least I’m doing ok gradewise so far. Anyway, this is all boring stuff that probably none of you want to hear, so I’ll just skip to spring break.
I actually haven’t done much so far this past week – I came here last Friday and have basically been relaxing at home. Which is SO NICE. Great home-cooked meals and being with the family. I had a lot of Operations research homework as well as financial accounting homework, which was annoying, but I’ve gotten most of it done. Monday night was Sara Wilkin’s b-day, so me and Dream and Amanda went out and celebrated with dinner at Estela’s, this great Mexican place. I do so love Mexican food…
Wednesday, a bunch of us hit up the beach at Fort Desoto – I probably should put some pictures here, but I’m getting a little tired; maybe in the next few days I’ll post a picture update. Anyways, the beach was awesome. Even though the water was cold, we got some good sand-castle building in. And of course, you can’t go wrong with grilled hot dogs, mmm…
Today, I’ve been doing more homework until Rob got in from Tally. We then went to Wal-Mart and Target to restock my college snack supply and I applied at Target to work over the summer. For dinner tonight, my dad made chicken parmisan and it was amazing! Dream and Chris came over too and afterwards we watched United 93(great movie…so moving) and then the Gators game(first round of the NCAA tourney). We beat Jackson State 112-69. Not bad at all.
I guess I should probably get going to bed soon since we’re gonna get up early tomorrow to go to the park to play basketball, but I’ll leave you all with a short poem:
Mid-morning
Harsh as glass against the skin
Dull as unfound pearls half-buried
Reaping fruits not quite ripe
Reaching for the diamond light
Waves rippling strongly onwards
Trees bowing before the clouds
Water cascading down upon the shore
Traveling through the wilds evermore
Sun peeks over the azure horizon
Rising crystal vapor gleams
New morning parades its lace
a blushed glance, unveiled face.
I don’t know why I’m posting this, but Dream wants me to, so why not? 😉 This is a bit of a fluff poem, but I like it. Hope all of you do, too. 🙂 What do you do when you like a girl and you don’t know if it is right to pursue her, hm? That is the question of the hour. Anyway, onto the poem.
Sun shining through clear prism of blue
Leaves descending on an airy balustrade
Lavender petals frame a perfect picture
Hands touching each other in love.
Hearts melt like chocolate in the sun
Tender glances lead to soft words which
Flow like a brook through the summer woods
In such love eyes meet and purely sparkle
Sun pouring through porous cotton
Trees bend gently down to emerald field
Rose petals float and caress the air
Hands held gently as a medal of love.
Love entranced eyes gaze with pure light
He looks at her with her hair softly dancing
She looks at him with his eyes strongly piercing
And they love.
So, almost the end of the week – FINALLY! The only thing I have left to worry about is my statistics exam at 12:50. I think I’m ready for it – but still a little nervous. We’ll have to see how that goes…
I had my 7:25 accounting discussion today – it’s so weird going to class that early in the morning. It feels like high school all over again. And it was SO cold this morning. Had to be in the 30’s, which I haven’t felt for a while. It was weird because as I was walking to my class, I had a cup of coffee – the inside of my hand was nice and toasty while the outside of my hand was freezing. Very odd sensation, let me tell you. But, for some reason, I don’t mind the early class TOO much. Just the waking up at 6-something. That’s not fun. Oh, and in class, while we were going over stuff I sort of already knew, I wrote a haiku. I’ve never really written them before, but I did. And it’s pretty lame, but hey, all haikus are. Here it is:
Accounting is a
very bad place to be at
an early hour.
Actually, I wrote it a little differently in my notebook, but it didn’t follow the form(ok, I don’t write them all the time), so I modified it a touch, so it actually is a haiku(5,7,5 instead of the 5,5,7 I had). Oh, and hour is two syllables. I so decree it.
Anyways..since you probably didn’t want to see my haiku anyway, I’ll change the subject. I’m sort of hungry, so I should probably eat breakfast soon. But I’ll talk about the Career Showcase instead. That was on Wednesday and was much fun. I was really worried, but I don’t know, I found it very..exhilarating, to be there and talk to the recruiters from different companies. I don’t know if I’ll get an internship, but at least I met a bunch of different company people and passed out my resume a lot. After it, I was exhausted though. I wish I’d gone last semester, but at least I went this time. I’ll definitely have to go next fall to get an internship for NEXT summer.
Ok, I’m not sure of what else to write, even though I know lots has happened, so I’ll just call it an entry and go have breakfast. Hope everyone has an awesome day!!
I’ve decided it is time for a random poem.
Rain hits the window
Clouds fog the sky
Darkness breaks
the morning
there is no sun!
Wind grabs the rooftop
Black clouds stand by
Lightning stabs
the darkness
I will not die!
Clouds swirling
Thunder striking
Lightning sounding
Darkness roaring
O Woe is me!
Mist falls gently
White clouds float by
There is now
no darkness
I see the sun!
Wow, today was a hectic day…
Woke up at 8:32, so had get up and run to my 8:30 International relations class(in which I had a quiz)…thankfully, he was just handing out the quizzes when I got there. I think I did awesome on that quiz, missing two at the most, but we convinced him that one of the questions was faulty, so I should get an A. Calculus test was not so fun – even though I studied a lot, it seemed a lot harder than the homework questions. The physics test was bad. Very bad. Sometimes I don’t think I’m cut out for engineering, if I can’t even do well in Physics 1…Well, I have the rest of this semester to think about my major…
After that, wrote my lab report(which I didn’t write until today because I was too busy studying over the weekend) and then went to the last five minutes of chem lecture. Hung out at the Reitz with people, then dinner.
After dinner, total awesomeness took place. Chris and another guy re-enacted the last duel from Episode III, between Obi-Wan and Anakin…both wearing Jedi robes(Chris with his black glove), they fought down the lawn, through the laundromat, through various halls, in the study center, and finally by the mud pit, where Chris got his legs cut out from under him. Very awesome to see. And Sweeney rocked out as Padme – she definitely should have been casted for the part.
Now, I’ll probably get ready for bed…first time in a few days I’m getting to bed early.
This week will go by so slowly..but this weekend, I’ll be in Tampa!
Red sun rises
Birds sing
grass waves
in the breeze
and the armies
march.
Yellow sun hangs
trees stand proud
deers drink
from cool waters
and the armies
draw near.
Nature
stands still
and watches its demise.
Man
against man
and brother
against brother
as blood runs
freely, deeply.
Red sun falls
nightingales wail,
iron scent
of blood draws
the vultures
closer, closer.
Hope you all enjoyed that, as depressing as it may have been. Some inspiration came from Red Badge of Courage.
He is lost
lost in his
pursuit of
himself and
his purpose
and he is lost.
Satisfaction
is found nowhere
in money
in love
in pleasure
in power
and he is lost.
His search
takes him down
a lonely road
and he trips
and he falls
and cannot get up
and he is lost.
And there is light,
and there is a Voice,
one who knows the Answer
one who is the Answer
and his hand is gripped
and he smiles
and he is found.
