At the end of his laughters
Returned home to empty chairs
His mother beneath rafters
Hanging by her hairs
Anya Jul 2020
Goodbye my sweet innocence
My hunger takes precedence
Anya Jul 2018
Righteous men cannot rest
Cannot laugh in light no more
Burdened by that shameful crest
Who yielded from the corps

The spy for two sides
With two separate cause
And even now he is uncertain
Who’s spy he really was

He wished they’d heed
To what he feared
But none so deaf
As men who won’t hear

Shut upon himself
Sowing not upon harm
Though for simple whiles
For lost kisses and smiles
He layed his weapon to arms

Though never to learn
Their power burned
Forgetting the peace he brung
Be thy sleep
Calm and deep
Such weight on a mind so young

Innocent hands
Spread like disease
Though the resting land
Was put at ease

Tragedy not heard
With each bellow and wail
Though through this sight
Peace did prevail

And with this night
His strife began
No longer a child
Though no longer a man
Anya Dec 2019
I cast off my coat and my troubles at the door
My ambition seemed simpler in years before
But my skin and sight are molding
And these dreams that I'm holding

They seem familiar but I know they’re not mine

Each hole that I fill
Is a color soon to ****
The sure thoughts of this kind
Resemble the mind

Both lacking and endless in time

These dreams are my drive
They’re the reason I’m alive
But although I don’t believe in him
God always seems to hinder them

Those dreams that I spend with hue

This life that you hold
Though its mine it seems quite cold
But despite my talk with fate
It may not yet be too late

To start my endless life anew
Anya Nov 2018
If we forgo pursuing truth
Then we allow ourselves to die
I’ve done so long ago
When complacent with her lie
With the word of a woman
Who carries death in her sight
Unfit to reject her own skill
For she brings with it slight delight
Both soldier and weapon
Difference had died with her
The daughter of hopes rejoice
Now walks as a hopeful killer
Burdened are the knowing
For fitting words had rung
And she knew of what escaped
Beneath her velvet tongue
Anya Mar 2020
Her beauty mellowed the muse of keys
Each eye riveted from the bounty of thieves
Every man bowed his gun from her celeste gaze
Bewitched by the bìtch with hair of golden maize
In days where her arm was something to be feared
When each breath promised last and rightfully revered
Soon words became weapons and death did not differ
With echoes of pyre and lead forever with her
Though soon she forgot the mercy not upheld
As days no longer cared for what each hour held
Anya Jan 2020
The ring of iron songs
Like hammer and tongs
Speaks words of each page
With knowledge of every age
Anya Jul 2020
I will try to love as you
Walk in every shoe
Should we take an uphill road
Toss me a bag and share the load
No word repeats
Anya Nov 2017
Dreaming jellyfish
Sing their song
And sleep on the gentle shore
And long through the night
With their glittering light
They sing their songs evermore
Their song echoes out
Without volume or shout
In the colors that hang in the sky
Their voices bound
To a silent sound
Then drift to the heavens up high
Anya Apr 2020
O Lady Lorde
We give to thee
Our woven hands
That braid the sea
And to your home
We sail away
Unto the waves
From light of day

We sing to you
When rest is near
Asleep we pray
That you should hear
Our voice of old
We carry home
To lie beneath
The ocean foam

In woods of green
And misty snow
We gently ride
To waters low
And once asleep
We follow streams
To silver pools
Within our dreams

These mourning songs
On this bright eve
Our heirs depart
And left to grieve
We leave the land
Not to return
This land of lure
We all shall yearn
Anya Aug 2018
The size of our suffer
Is relative to each other
Like gas between walls
It evenly falls
What fills our breath
Doesn’t seem to matter
Because between sickness and death
We choose the latter
Anya Aug 2018
How do you love the empty air
For it seems as though it does not care
Or perhaps it does
Perhaps it loves free
But I wonder because
I hoped it loved me
Anya Aug 2018
Never was a man who knew of good
Revealing no mercy when I knew I could
Years of cost and lives I’ve sought
Praying for divinity when I know not
And to all the lives that I can never be
Sickness and health are gifts to the free
Anya Mar 2019
Not  as powerful as the gods
       As we made them to be
So forget the laws
       And lay by me
Forget the days and lonely bliss
      There are many ways
            To lay a kiss
More ways to love
        Then one alone
No crime above  
For what’s bred in bone
Anya Mar 2020
Fire
With anvil bells and tongs
We build our city strong
Beneath
The halls that we call home
Lay our fallen brothers bone
Ride
We take to mountains yore
To friends and fiends the green lands bore
Fight
With blood beneath our brow
To safely keep the kingdom crown
Hear
The ring of flying steel
To graves below the waters wheel
See
Our pride shall never bow
For victory stands within our vow
Pledge
To silent oaths we swore
Hinder sons and daughters war
Sing
Our songs for heirs to tell
While we await them long in Hell

Anya Jan 2020
A smile from your lips
And a bow to your hips
Never show your yellow teeth
Or remove your steel from sheath
Casually greet the gods
No matter form they come
Try not to be at odds
With all and not just some
And though you must revere
The ones you stand below
Never show rejoice or fear
Until you get to know
Gin
Anya Jan 2018
Gin
Tomorrow if you were to devour man
With the same mouth you kissed my hand
And that same mouth cried it's love to me
So undoubtedly and free
Would it be that easy for me to say
'I love you' the same way I do Today
Anya Jan 2020
More valuable life
With more ways to measure
The merit of strife
And option of pleasure
Anya Aug 2018
If they talk they talk after one
But all the nails in his socket were gone
And though our pastor could not outrun
The secret remains of Babylon
Anya Nov 2018
“Your friend is there
Within the walls
Amongst the smoke that rises
And the ash that falls”
Anya Nov 2017
Pele, goddess of fire
The ocean has masked your flame
Your spirit drowned and chained
A name to which you do not recall
As though your glass
Is full of life's gall
I give you this name
Pele, of flame
That maybe your spirit be free
Escape this empty shallow sea
And use your feet to fly
Dance like the ever changing sky
Like mountain flames on distant isles
Like sparks that travel miles
Dance like the fires that burn the air
Make every step a scorching flare
That is the story I wish to tell
The story of hells angel
But here you lay on the oceans floor
You do not dance a dance no more
But once we escape this ocean of blue
I'll tell all that I meet
The story of you
Anya Jul 2018
After school hours, sleepily
Looking down from the window sill
A deep rest in spring wind chill
If I close my eyes
To this brilliant world
Reflected scenery dances still
If I blow a low whistle
Towards the blue sky
Walking becomes a little more spry
Turning my music a little bit down
To listen to the lively corner of town
When I look up with slight rejoice
I hear a distant singing voice
Ah~ Ah~ Ah~
Today begins like any other day
Bathed in the sun slowly drifting away
The most pleasing place to reside
Is here right by your side
Dull clouds early afternoon
A sudden shower in the middle of June
Blue sky peeked out when I arose
Colors arc out accross concrete meadows
The bell chimes when I reach
Out through the window and to the beach
Warm breeze blows through the empty hall
When I looked up I heard you call
Ah~ Ah~ Ah~
Let’s rest into the sunshine
Taking breaths in a comfortable rhyme
We may not speak for very long
Though with just that I feel so strong
My quiet heart echoing true
When I’m here with you
Anya Jul 2020
Why do you stay at the end of my gaze
That woman whom even gods praise
How does she spend her lonely days
When we each go our separate ways
Lady, so fair, all look with amaze
Who is mine alone, now and always
No words repeat
Anya Mar 2018
Golden fields
Welcome tender breeze
Gaze withdrawn
To these grainy seas
Love cannot wake
To the sun at your door
Of golden fields
Not to sway anymore
Listen not
To sounds of earth
No bells or cries
Or the worlds sweet mirth
Children roam
with one voice late
And fields of gold
Beyond choice or fate
Above mountains and rivers
Of bright flourishing rye
Soon we all need
Someone to kiss us goodbye
Anya Nov 2018
Never forget those you have killed
Never avert your eyes from death
For they will never forget the ones
Who ceased their final breath
Anya Jul 2018
Of all the kings
Bear him to mind
Eternal ruler of these
Riches, magic, and wine
Of fairies and song
Now praise Oberon
Acrostic poem
Anya Nov 2018
It is the fate of the kind
If they wish it to be
To see as the blind
Not a nations decree
Ran
Anya Mar 2018
Ran
Drunk high on desire
Rich memories of you
You gallant cruel liar
A brisk heavenly brew

Leaving no goodbye
Where persimmon leaves blow
Now here you lie
Beneath gray snow

Although I asked
You did not stay
Nor reason you passed
Merely could not say

And though the vine
Of may bells ring
Thy marigolds bless wine
And bring soft spring
Anya Jan 2020
Not my favorite drink
But I do like the color
With such a lovely fragrance
Unlike any other
It goes with any day
With each season of the year
Warm for rainy weather
Or cold for skies when clear
Enjoy it to yourself
Or with company of one other
But when your drink is dry
You’ll quickly want another
Anya Sep 2020
With beauty herself draped in your word
Sounding the veins of any who heard
My heretic soul met heaven and god
All other air I knew became flawed
Anya Jul 2020
I will welcome Hell with open arms
As any mother would
Greet each child at the door
No matter bad or good
Sing the deaf a lullaby
Paint sunsets for the blind
For no matter who they prayed to
They are all here left behind
Anya Jun 2019
To dream of a day without
Any worry, trouble, or doubt
Of a shared home
      With or alone
To spend forever like stone
Not seeing the time or care at all
For sin so large or smile too small
This mad desire that I require
To satisfy my wishful ways
   With those distant selfish days
Anya Nov 2017
A thousand loves

A thousand years

For each love lost

A thousand tears

My dear
My goddess
You who was born in light
Elegant enchanting
Elizabeth
And I
Your silver knight

Out of spite to the worst
Shall soon shatter this curse
And live our days in death
Our lifetime of bliss
In our abyss
Satisfaction in our last breath

And though your grace
Has not changed my face
I bear this burden with you
And soon after years
Hundreds of thousands of tears
We bid our life adieu
Anya Jun 2019
“He always walked with sinners”
          They lie
“He never walked with saints”
    Ever turning to the sky
His righteousness not faint
    He had but one sin to his name
And one it had remained
    His sin of love for a sailor man
Though they saw it just the same
And with that sin they trialed him
     With murders and thieves
With no relief from sturdy gin
     But the restraint of iron keys
Anya Jul 2020
This smile no longer reaches my eyes
For it has become the perfect guise
Just as sly words can sharpen steel
One cunning grin will seal a deal
No word repeats
Anya Nov 2018
We were raised by your many hands
To hold and guide us all
No other fool understands
The strife behind our fall
Anya Jan 2020
Every work of heart is each a piece of art
Be it poems, sculptures, music or drafts
Each are beautiful and marvolous krafts
Novels that remain throughout their age
Perfect art upon every page
Paintings with stories not written in word
And songs that bless all who heard
Man may say and do the worst
With hateful crimes and words accursed
But while we bring the world to its end
At least we have a heart to descend
Anya Nov 2017
Listen, do listen
The muse in the air
Hark, do you hear
The bard of town square
The children near
Danced over the pier
To sing a song to his tune
They sang of Tom
And the cow and the moon
Jack and Mary
And little boy blue
Peter and Paul
And Margery Daw
Songs that were carried
As the wind blew
Though as he played
The sun went away
So each sister and brother
Went back to their mother
And waited to sing the next day
Anya Feb 2020
The white woods walk
About the hills
To the lady of lure
Before the rills

Light gently danced within the shade
As she laid upon the leafy glade

The river rolled beneath her feet
While birds sang clear behind the leaves
Upon her crown the sun lay bare
A garland sat in braided weaves

As she rose the wind etched by
And left the hills with a silent sigh

She danced upon the waters edge
Upon leaves and flowers beneath her feet
Softly rippling with every step
With the water that brushed the wild wheat

Beneath the cold mountains of gray
And beechen woods that softly sway

Her sun weighed hair laced with gold
Fell with mantle through the ferns
And it is for her sweet loving gaze
That each known mortal yearns
Anya Jan 2020
And who
are you
to wonder why
The seas and suns
may never die
And who
are you
to ask and beg
To want and pry
upon one leg
And who
are you
to love the sick
The weak and meek
who all die quick
And who
are you
to see the world
The bane you cried
and rock you hurled
And who
are you
to mend what broke
With hands of bone
and grey torn cloak
And who
are you
to take my life
My love, my praise,
my distanced strife
And who
are you
to heed cold breath
To leave your form
with name of Death
You
are soon
to greet me there
Beneath the walk
of Davy’s lair
Anya Jun 2020
When they come
They  will mock and boast
But those with the last laugh
Will laugh  the most
Anya Oct 2018
Once for the witches rabbit hole
And twice for the foxes hymn
While one began to pluck her mole
The other tricked and teased men
Though two and the same
They’re known for different years
And both are to blame
For trickery and fears
Anya Jul 2018
The maiden so fair
In all her grace
The gold leaf in her hair
And snow pedaled face
Night and day we sing
In elegant song
A rhyme to our queen

      And look Oberon!!!!!
Acrostic poem that correlates with another
Anya Aug 2018
Evil expects that from others
Not to seek comfort from faith of his mothers
And when he seeks something true
He cannot find without ones virtue
What is a man without his mind
A shallow shell with dwindling  kind
Never to yearn or seek what is
To a man to not love what is meetly his
Anya May 2019
A gift of violets for my hearth and home
Her love of gold as mine alone
Wherever she walks the sun is near
She speaks with voices few can hear
And it is her I wish to share my days
With silent merriment and arrogant ways
With gardens of youth and loving end
Depart with he of dark  descend
Magnolias bloom beneath his eyes
So happily this silent lover dies
Anya Aug 2018
Child are you grieving
To words she is leaving
And though she gave
To you, her own knave
You seem to not care
For what was once there

— The End —
