American Izzy here, lover of turtles. I love to write, I began when I was eight. I write short stories and novels, but I remember I began with poetry, and still love it to this day. It was my window into the world of words.
Infinite blue fields   Growing cotton, unworn,              unsold Letting the wind carry off the crop     And night brings an end to the season.

She killed my brother, so I'll **** her O what a glorious, glorious ****** There was no evidence, but still Her burning guilt is all I feel My brother was all I ever knew But still she stabbed him through and through The ****** sight made police unnerved And thus justice was left unserved Their fault, I take it in my hand To be the hero of the land I sharpen the knife, hide it away And await her arrival on a warm summer's day She comes-acting cheery- how can she be so? How can she act merry and be all aglow? I hate her more, where is her guilt? Where is the shame on this pile of filth? Is she glad to be rid of my poor deceased brother? O he that loved her with love like no other? He that trusted and gave her all kisses? How dare she **** him! How can she not miss him? She talks, and a fake tear appears All that I give her is anger and lears She looks so confused and steps towards the door As I move my hand to inside the drawer The knife, shining- ****** slides into her chest Twice to the right, and one in her left She falls to the ground, reaching for me Oh, what a sight, a sight what to see! My brother avenged! Justice was given But now the knife must be put back and hidden The body be covered and buried with care My innocence perfect when police come to there They found her body, still I don't fret For I am as harmless as harmless can get The police came to interview, just to do that So calmly I sit, and happy they sat Questions? I give them a most solid alibi And serving them tea to satisfy I stand to prepare it, and keep with the talk And hand cups to them with a small cough One gets up and looks for a spoon And, forgetful, I point him to my doom For he opens the drawer and he looks right at me He holds up a knife for all to see The dried blood streaks are only proof made O fateful, O cursѐd, O severing blade They lock me up tight, I spit at them, hiss I'm innocent! Innocent as innocent gets! I killed her because she killed my brother I served justice more than any other! They shook their heads and show me a note Before he died was what he wrote “But he was thrice stabbed, is this a lie?” “Yes it was,” police say, “Suicide.” I do not believe them, they are insane My brother, and sister, did not die in vain! Because she killed my brother, and I killed her And I am NOT guilty of senseless ******

Lion, dweller of the desert with gleaming fur and crushing paws    wandered, searching, thirsty, wanting when only yards away was fresh-rain ponds just barely out of sight          and the lion was almost satisfied For now, it was patient But then, from its dark, dry hole a snake, red, long, its body curled in waves    it came and teased the lion selfish, ignorant, it swam through sand right in front of that thirsty lion Not counting its consequences The lion's fur rose as it watched the snake go It's heart, mighty, proud, longed to ****** the serpent or chase, at least chase But its clever mind scorned- The lion needed water, its thirst growing great The fresh-rain ponds were just over the sand hill The heart fought the mind The mind finally gave Knowing the worst with great disregard It leaped through the gold dust and pounced on the snake      But there- its heart was great      but its mind was resentful with spite thirsting to wound that heart's lazy pride so it let that scarlet snake slipped right through, free from the paws    to retreat in its hole until morning This lion's heart, it beat and swore This lion's mind, it smirked and snubbed And it sat in the sun of the desert, much greater than it    Just wrinkling to nothing        Bitter with loss for drink and food No compromise to be reached,   The lion withered for nothing To have its ashes mixed with the sand and blown          away

The Lion
He's confused, but I am certainly not Looking towards closet and holding a key I'm waiting for a lock to turn and open For now, I'll waste and watch and wait While he wanders 'round the gate When the time comes I'll say I thought For one moment I thought I'd seen A gleam, no, now needing a place to mope in I'll recover, bloom, heal, feel, satiate But all I feel now is love, no hate Of course, there is a chance I've sought My mind and eyes been much too keen And imagined his secret, with worries so smitten I suppose I must only seek my Fate Thought good things come to those who listen- and wait.

Closet's Key
To the World I'm watching Through a telescope of ten buttons and one screen I'm waiting Just for you to go and smile on camera I'm forgetting what my grandmother said you used to do I'm wondering why you had to storm in and pull that trigger I'm fighting the urge to do something that would be very stupid I'm listening for just that small note of rarity when you are good I'm seething as you repeat those same mistakes that you won't learn I'm hiding from the horrors of all your faces that sneer I'm feeling trapped and surrounded by your millions of arms and fingers I'm praying that you will stop focusing on differences and see you are the same I'm running from the gripping fog that wants to ****** me up also I'm trying to make some change but there is nothing I can do I'm trailing after your destruction and picking up my own tears I'm tempted to submit to your skewed values and just give in I'm biting to your words so I can live swimming in death I'm falling into your sad, sad maze of rotting words and promises I'm asking why you can't hold hand and for once get along I'm thinking about how many angry people how many sad people never laugh I'm trembling when I see the flash of fury taken out on poor innocent children I'm hoping someday I'll take your hand and you'll squeeze back and smile

Dear World
They told me time would fly I wish it did but it won't Flat out refuses to go by with ease As I'm paralyzed by yesterday it seems like yesterday- just then? Can't be, but still I remember all of it too well for my own convenience. Stark memories of us frozen in life I think we're laughing but then rain -tears?- blurs our old photograph so that we might be fighting or you might be leaving. We're both sad. Both crying. And I don't understand it. We were just stupid with stupid minds and stupid misconceptions of faith & loyalty & commitment & love Ah- love. We never said the word aloud but it was there and it was glowing and we both knew it. We both saw and heard it We believed it & wanted it so badly. But fate was cruel. I was cruel and you were cruel and we were wild and mad and we loved every second of it- together Hah, I thought that meant forever But everyone knows cliché never happens in 'real' life, whatever that's supposed to mean Opposed to a fake life? That must have been what we were living A world of lies, a mere dream with nightmarish consequences. Huh. Bet you never thought of that. Bet you never thought about anything. Its sad to watch an intelligent man make such stupid errors Reason and logic mean nothing, absolutely nothing when emotions flow through your blood Don't you just love being human? So, here we are with out choices to make hearts to bend and promises to break Or... perhaps we extend our hands to each other Call it peace, truce, dare I even say friendship? Because like broken glass or shattered porcelain Add a touch of glue And we might just mend.

Law
Tempest of Fury Tempest of Fury Spins over and over Around and around Seizing, not stopping Crackling, popping Destruction exceeding all bounds Thunder of Rage  Thunder of Rage Loudness that lingers And echoes and stays Booming, unyielding No way of shielding Yourself from the sound of this rage Wind of Undoing  Wind of Undoing Wraps up and strangles  All beautiful things Whispers and withers Sneaks up and slithers Chaos, surprising, it brings

The Storm
I want to run away from you Escape your grasp, escape the truth Smiling like I've found my king Holding back one thousand screams Why does love cause so much pain? What am I from love to gain? Gasping, breathless, in the night Fighting back the coming light My heart must be a shining blue Icy, cold. But living, too Falling through an endless hole Caught inside your desperate pull Holding to your biting smile Our hearts crashing all the while I want to run away with you- But only if you run too

I found the end of a rainbow But it wasn't a *** of gold I followed the trail through sandstorm and hail And all I got was dust and some mold So I guess I ain't the first one there Or the leprechauns' real poor Cause, I swear, the gold ain't there But now whats a rainbow for?
