14/F/Chicago, IL I like to write stories and poems that relate. They make brilliant decorations for complex worlds, telling tales of otherwise abstract concepts. I'm just here for a good time and maybe inspiration
Chasing fallen Aspen trees Screaming out into the breeze Running, running, can’t catch me Out here in the Ashen trees Ashes of the Aspen trees Burnt down beauty, No matter to me If you call out They’ll answer thee Fairies once in Aspen trees Falling, falling, Fallen leaves Spinning off along the breeze Spiraling onto the ground Make sure not to make a sound Summon spirits in the trees Reach your hand out to thee A touch of faith, It’s time to leave The Fairies’ dying Aspen Trees

Aspen Trees
To wish upon a raven One must first grow its wings To wish upon a raven Waste not time on petty things To wish upon a raven One must know how it feels To soar above the heavens To feel freedom and know fear To wish upon a raven Knowing suffering is key To wish upon a raven Knowing tragedy of banshees How they wail, how they groan The very song, the very tone Setting loose the sorrow Sending warnings to the free To wish upon a raven You have to understand That sometimes you’re the omen Of bad luck and stories planned To wish upon a raven Ignorance you overcome And if you wish upon a raven The raven you become

To Wish Upon A Raven
Come here, my friend Where the autumn leaves fall In the pond there, down below Don’t they look pretty Oh such a pity, That the prettiness always must go You know it's not my fault And yet you blame Everything pretty someday decays The balance of beauty Seems to degrade Once I am here, your old friend decay I play a line between life and death The new, the old The now and regret Now I'll tell you my friend With your head held sadly There must be death before life can be made Ignorant humans, Never recognize beauty Once it starts to fade

Decay
We’re down at the tower Waiting for our share Of the precious liquid, there is none of which to spare Thirsty, hungry people Waiting for their crop Which always shrivels at the stock, They know they cannot stop Waiting for rains to come I swear that we are cursed The water just goes down the drain, But still the people thirst Wars of land and power That the sheriff cannot cease The townsfolk are hungry, They are hungry for peace The government’s long gone And yet we have to stay She has us in her iron grasp She won’t let us get away Hiddens lies Her perfect crime Bitter bitter beauty Something wrong The siren’s song Melody of promise We come here to the tower, And the fields most every day To get our share of water Giving life, that is her pay She hold our lives on strings Suffocating power She is our lord for she’s the one Who controls our water But our lady’s ****** tactics spill more blood than can become The rivers can’t run red when there’s no water left to run
