Like a howling whale, the mighty ship sails;
One a million feet taller
And larger than anything ever seen

She sails across the seven seas
The cold waves kissing her,
As she moves with such pride;
Her sails gracing the humid air
Her mercy at the hands of sailors
Navigating and commanding

Sound of merriment ringing in the air;
Women and children chattering with no fear
Boastful mouths uttering things unfitting for the ears
Men in black emptying bottles and trays
Cheers of ecstasy embracing the night

Icebergs floating atop the waters
Waiting for its victim to arrive;
The great ship moving with such elegance and bravery;
The waters admiring her features;
Song of siren composed in her name
If only she could tell her end was near

Heavy I walk
Legs quivering with despair
Holding me back so I may not reach that place I desire:
A place I seek
And have tried so much to reach, but to no avail

This burden I bear
This heaviness pulling me down
with no desire of letting go!
Making me wonder if it ever will
Or shall remain till the day I'm called home
To give an answer to the life that have yielded nothing, but utter pain.
At first, I felt there wasn't any need posting this here since I couldn't come up with a much suitable title, but then it occurred to me that there was actually nothing to be nervous about, and so I said, "You got the idea and everything, why don't you showcase it to the world and don't worry about the number of reactions you're gonna get?" So here I am.

Could years pass
And the air still reek of my haunted past?

Could rivers flow
And still come to an abrupt end?

Could cherry trees blossom
And their bloom still fade?

Could mountains, hills and valleys stand
And the earth still holds them firm?

These questions I ask
My mind trapping them without an answer,
And with no one to reassure me
That I can be free from my ******* to fear;

A burden forced on me
By the harshly gust of nature enveloping my past!
One I am forced to bear
Its malodor hovering like a smoke

At what cost in life would be so enormous
To have the one thing I seek?
A thing much precious than all the riches in the embrace of the world;
One to overcome my fear,
And bring an end to shackles only I can see

Emeralds and pearls, I desire not
But the matching keys to my longing release
And if ever again I'll be able to walk,
I shall travel far and wide,
Proclaiming my return...

~Ciara
....It's good to be back. I missed every one...

Climbing up the Appalachians
Is no different from
Taking a trip down
Life's rocky path;
A path harbouring
All things caused
To beget sad
Or ever glowing memories
Conceived from the adventures
And never ending journeys
Carved out in a circle
Having no escape route
Nor an easy path
To a quest
Man must undertake
Lest he remains trapped
With no gain
Or freedom
In a land
Now filled with oppressors
And battles
Only he can overcome
So his sounding cheers
Would be heard
At victory's joyful embrace

Life: A Huge Circle Itself
I'll be editing this when I've got the time. For now, let it be here.

My heart is heavy
With despair
My head spinning
Like a roaring wave
Seeking to swallow all thoughts
As they go crowding up
Like swarming bees
That have no place

Heaviness and hurt
Piling up inside
Eager to put an end to my kind
Thus awakening my fear
In a land so dark
And without an end!

The air I breathe
Trapping me
In my tragic past;
Making me a wanderer
In a world
That has long rejected me
From its warmly embrace

Now I am without a place
Having no one
To put my fiery mind
At ease!
But I know someday
All this would pass
And then shall I be at rest
And have eternal peace
In my creator's *****...

I'm a shooting star
Shining above all stars
In the sky

I'm like a blazing sun
Burning aglow
And lighting all path

We walk the earth
We rule the streets
The sun and the stars
Shining up above

And as we go
The warm breeze blows
Kissing our faces
As we smile
All day and night;
All day and night
Making memories that will last forever....

~Ciara
Blazing Emotions
This poem is centered more on this sad little girl who gets override by her emotions, and in a bid to make herself happy again, compares herself to the sky's blazing sun and stars, hoping she'd wear such a pleasant smile on her face, just like everyoneelse, and bring forth amazing memories that'll never be forgotten....

Motherhood;
Such a blessed ride,
full of hopes and dreams,
longed to be fulfilled,
longed to be real!

Motherhood;
A joy-conceiving memory,
full of expectations,
having newborns conceived,
and brought into the world;

A world so big and bright,
but yet so new....
One so strange and demon-filled,
and creatures cursed to slay;
bound to feed!
The cry of their mothers wetting the earth,
as their pains go burning fiercely
at death's matching feast.
