The forces of love bind you by sight
They take you blind into this fright
Where you must fight to stay bright
They push on towards strange futures
Where a stranger may be a suit suitor
And so you share a life and live skewered
They drag you from love into lust
Unravels and rusts away any trust
And blanketly busts, not only what's just
But what lays inside of years old love dust
The forces of love bring joy at a price
A good versus evil that balances nice
Heartbreak not torture but experience earned
A creature tempered by the coals of love burned

I lay in bed in a dark, dark, imagery
As a cold deep shadow watches me
Monitoring--questioningly--menacingly
And I feel myself grow lonelier and lonlier
After a day in sunny foyers and populous piers
I stay shriveled in fear
That the day was a dream
And this isn't a nightmare

Upon the brink
Of rock laiden terrain
And where rocks sink
Is the one in pain
Who aches to sail
Away from woe
To turn their tail
Away from home
Mind stained red
But eyes set blue
Held thoughts unsaid
That don't align true
And so for the one
The world is darkened
Wayward to yellow sun
Arcing as gates tend
Crossing the brink
From the high cliffs
lowering to sink
As their spirit lifts

Sometimes
when I think of the sky
and when I think of the world
I think of myself
Sometimes
when I walk through the days
and when I walk through it all
I think of myself
Sometimes
when I walk a new path
and when I walk with others
I think of myself
Sometimes
When I think
I wonder why
I think of myself

Vigorously I scribble down my thoughts
In hope to express what feeling I've caught
And transfer it to paper form
Hoping for it to become airborne
Just so it infects those without my mood
So through writings they reflect my attitude
Like a biochemical invasion of the mind
The virus spun in these webbed thoughts of mine

Nature, the grand stage
Yes, welcome to the new age
You shall engage in this absolute outrage
The outright destruction of forrest
Replaced by a city of light under behest
Of an external force, the government
But not the sole perpetrator of torment
Meet yourself, an instigator
All individuals ride this escalator
And when we reach the top
It'll fall out from under us, no stop
From the pop of your soda
To football games in Minnesota
We all fall the same if we continue this game
If we continue to ruin nature's grand play
And boo it off stage
Who will we blame?
We won't blame anyone
We'll all be dead, man

I've gone through nine different pens
Feel like I'll be here till dusk
Scratched my head, clawed my eye lens
And my skull's become a husk
With such a crude knowledge base
Can I even write my name?
Turns out no working took place
While I played that zombie game
I try to pull through this bout
But my mind, like my bedroom
Just has stuff I care about
And this strange old mushroom
Okay, think clear right now, me
Be patient, unclench your hands
Test, if you'll just allow me
I'll follow your demands
You don't want money... do you?
No, if that fails that'll be it
I'll fall down that abyss, true?
Maybe I could bridge the pit...
No, no... back to these relics
I've gone through this test, all the rest
And it's -all- hieroglyphics
Like an Egyptian fest
Will this test make or break my life?
Then why does it have to be
Dealing with memory strife!
Why is this paper the key-
I'm being too cynical
Let's see, answer question three
I'll run this methodical
I'll fill this like air does me
Hey, this word's over there too
On that one that I had missed
This one's plural out the blue
Wow, look at how I play this
Maybe as I answer these
I'll recall some old teachings
Maybe, probably, well... uhhh
Yet nothing more comes to being
I'm just a body floating dead
Already on these waterss
Maybe if I crane my head
And peek over some shoulders
No, if two tests match it's done
...How would she ever notice?
Especially if it's one
Or two questions- slow cadence...
Ah these bars, pale, wall bounds
Looking at them ever slow
I hark to the class around
And break the barrier, I trow
His answers match all mine here!
Is it an offense without
Actual offense to bear?
Wait, I hear... i wish to doubt
Someone's already finished
A chair screech and slide in back
I have too-- not quite polished
And so begins that stack
Like dominoes they all stood
And now they fall, some how synced
Building up their tests like wood
Beavers, their conformist peak
Don't go with the big crowd!
Just hold off, you know, check first,
Double check that, what you found
Maybe it was false at first
But no, the pile piles up
I can't see these walls past that
I'm a lone domino, "sup?"
And here it comes, to knock me
Briiiiiiing
And I shut my eyes to let it ring
To let it sweep these desks of things
To let it wash out my mind and soul
Of stress, of conscientiousness
But to displace those with nervousness
Without a sense of complacency
I stumble through the flowing mass
And cast my ballot for my grading

The dragon mighty
Exists unceremoniously
Rough and curt
With such a power to assert
His wings, like the mountains of the earth,
Span into the skies
Two eyes, a sun and moon
And a body rotund, sighs
Hoping that a mortal tune
Will soothe him as do lullabies
This king in ruin
Hopes to be one of human kind
Capturing a trace of human life
A princess wrought into sudden fright
Caught, now in a time of strife
With the creature, she shares the blight
So the kingdom replies distraught
Sends its feeble human knights
The dragon sees them in trot
He longs to know what their lives' are like
Some weaker knights are concerned
Coming upon the gate of the dragon
And thought wiser and turned
Unwilling to burn in a short fashion
But some stood and stayed
Calling for princess Shannon
But revealing their plans
Met a sweeping talon
Knights so unable to rouse a reaction
Fighting with such a faction
Barely having any traction
Made the dragon tired of such a matching
To think, he could be rid of them in one, short, breath
But sighs out steam, instead
Leading them to his nest
And so, they complete their quest
Now roaring from within his breast
The dragon soars away, feigning a retreat from their test
For he knows his place is forever set
But he wishes just to be at rest
His cold eyes so far from life and death
The flying symbol of mortal dread
Raising his head above the rest
Sighs a short breath, wishing to rest

The full extent of the sky hovers above our nest
And above that the void of space holds in our unrest
The deep abyss in which dreams halt
We may try screams, but they don't persist beyond that fault
"Why are we here" - one of our shouts
We read into these words so deeply
Analyzing life so unwieldy
The line that runs horizon to horizon
Seeking resolutions from dawn to dawn
We are tasked to understand words spoken of infinity
What can you expect besides a holy trinity?
Reading deeply into this play of life
Looking for just one hiccup or missed line
Hungry to capture just one word divine
So difficult when the vines of life
Are cut short by time

The audacious titan of a non ethereal world
Radial phenomena of visceral magnitude
Unsheathed virus set onto the solitary world
The vessel for the wayward tune
Grown environment set continuously
berthed by the air and the mists
Made flame by hollow wishing
Wrought twigs posed symbol
Fallen legend
Flame's tail shining
Embers blazing brightly
Heating burning charring
Rising from the smoke and dusty
Flames not swayed to burn single ways
Chaotic melancholic daze
In the aftermath
Nature again grows
And shouts more loudly than before
