Hey, I stated once before that I love to write poetry. Well, if anyone has a request let me know and I'll write something up for you on here. Here's one of my pieces called Raven Black. Alone I sit here dwelling the past, every memory burning past, Bottle after bottle I down them fast, Hoping to kill the pain that lasts. Every night I go for a walk, just to sober up for the morning to come. But every time I go for these walks, I hear fluttering of wings pass by. No lights to see where or what it was, just the shadow of a bird now sitting on a branch perched. My stomach told me to run home and stay on my porch. As a drunken broken man I picked up a rock and threw it. But this bird just sat there watching me. "What do you want?!?" I yelled to it. This unknown conflict seemed to be eternity. Finally I heard from it's beak, "Nigh...end is Nigh." I didn't want to believe that the bird just talked to me. I repeated the question and it replied, "Nigh...end is Nigh." Not knowing that a car was driving down the same road, I picked up another stone to throw, thats when it happened. As I was standing up the lights came on. Not enough time to jump or to hold my hand up. My body got hit as it went flying through the night air. Landing next to the tree that damn bird was, I can finally see what it was. A Raven so black that you swore it was nothing but a dream. Landing next to me it said in my ear. "Your time is not over, you now owe me a favor." Passing out from the pain, I woke the next day in white sheets. The morning sun had woken me from my slumber. Looking around I can see the cards, 'Get well soon D.' But something caught my eyes, in the corner I saw a shadow of a bird. Looking at the window there it sat. My Raven Black was watching me. |

This is for you Webster since you asked for this a long time ago....well, here it is. "In the eyes of Tamara..." We came from New York, traveling across this barren country. The Dead at Every Turn and Fork, But I wanted to Hurry. My twin was out there in the dark, We march to California. We had to make stops along the way, and losing people almost every day. No matter what life threw our way, We overcame them all the same. I can feel her out there to stay, Waking up in the night not sure to cry or to be brave. My now dead wife gave birth at Belle Isle, so we had to stay for a long while. We didn't have any real style, except everyone looked up to me as their leader and I didn't want to show them my fear. But I didn't give up on my hope on you Sarah. Always on the move towards you, I didn't want to sleep until I knew. And when we did show, you were there as if you knew. We came together in an embrace. You met Julie and Tyler, we met your girlfriend Masumi. I am so happy that I found you Sis, nothing will break us up again. Not even if the gods above throws at us an Earthquake. |

I went ahead and pinned this. I know Webster will approve. Poetry is one of my favorite things. As to the part about making requests.... the most I'd do is toss a title out there to you once in awhile.... Compare the idea to dangling a raw piece of meat out there for the dead or not so dead to bite into. Or perhaps its as simple as handing a dog a bone... |

I know Webster, that poem helped... all too well. Think about what I said it read like to me... a story. *raises eyebrow* I might not follow you around anymore but I can read when something jumps out at me in a not so scary way of course lol Now enough spamming his thread. I know, that was a tad bossy of me. (not) |

*reads Webster's response and thinks... uh huh, I remember this little game. Tell Tanya what she wants to hear and she might not throw a fit* No kissing @ss, Web. lol, One day you'll do that and get caught Damen. Just saying. and since Web decided to play a role.... Damen, you get the punishment. Write a poem using this title, if you're willing... "Let Darkness Cover Me" |
