Ride and row down the river of old
A king like no other with a kind heart of gold,
He yells behold behold for your king is here
The screams of praise turned to screams of pain,
Before the king's eyes a terror consumed his domain
None were spared none were safe all would disappear
The darkness ravaged through the night
Horror and terror, chased the old king in his flight,
Only to wake up in a sweat to a peaceful scene
And realised it was only a dream

Drowning on Land

I can’t help but drown on land
Weighed down by the little things
The negativity that’s insignificant as sand
Its voices pulling on my mind with strings
I continue to fall deeper under the water
No chance of coming back
One small comment and I fall further
The inky darkness of pain almost black
All the support and praise washed away
By one perspective as naive as mine
To dwell on this makes life grey
It hurts and pains, but I say I’m fine
When really I can barely stand up
Yet I refuse to say no, to give up

I don't even know. It sounded kinda cool

Time Beyond Space

The fourth dimension,
The dimension of being and then nothing
Its tool, the clock ever going tick-tock,
Never seen nor heard nor felt nor smelled
But never without,
Underrated yet most important
Our kindest friend, our worst enemy
Past and future in the time current,
All together make us present

The Jabberwock

He comes ever closer,
To hunt and ****, a monster like no other
Down in the Tulgey Woods he hides and waits
Dark as night and evil as death he follows
"The claws that catch and the jaws that bite"
Those who venture are sure given a fright,
All dare not walk the woods in fear of sure death
All but one who took up his blade,
And braved the beast no longer afraid

Winter's White

The last season of the year
Cold and harsh at first glance,
The land white and clear
The snow flies around as if in dance,
Feel the chill of the air, cool and crisp
The sun shines bright yet we feel cold,
The wind blows almost speaking with a lisp
The trees white, stories untold
A season to reflect, to ponder
Light shines down, the white scene lit
A time to play in a land of wonder
Snow a tool for imagination, to show spirit
Wait to see what each day will bring
While others just wait for Spring

Old poem that is actually pretty good O.o

Our Gaps

A great divide between us
A bridge broken and battered
A love stronger than lust
A hope cracked and shattered

We look across the gap wide and deep
A gap so wide we can't see each other
The other person across scared, waiting
But a feeling of belonging, translating

How did this gap even get here?
Who made it so we can't feel one another
So that we can't love and hold
Each other's lives we want to mold

A bridge we must cross together
A meeting in the middle, two souls
A fear of falling into the ether
A connection to fill in the holes

We begin our walk to the other side
The bridge swaying, creaking as we walk
People follow so we don't go alone
All of us looking for our own home

Then the bridge breaks and we all fall
Going down we scream and cry
As we fall we grasp at what we can
Hoping our lives are more than sand

A gasp of fear and pain
A hand in mine holding tight
A darkness my soul it will stain
A light made by love, creates flight

Not my best. Wrote this in the middle of my chemistry class because equilibrium is lost on me.

Moving along the Current

A leaf needing to the found
Is picked up by the breeze
The leaf now safe and sound
The wind continues, moving with ease
Dancing with the leaves
Like a current, my body weaves

Through the sky it flows
Not caring about who sees
Twirls and spins as she goes
Free of pain and disease
Ready to fly, an idea it conceives
Like a current, my body moves

It starts down to the ocean
To help move ships
Its moves creating a commotion
The onlookers awed by the tricks
Elegant and graceful, it perceives
Like a current, my body moves

It flows, stepping around gracefully
Each movement made with passion
A dancer at heart we see truly
No second thought in action
In each gesture she believes
Like a current, my body moves
