Thunder
Claire Cass Dec 2012
The gates of heaven opened wide
As the angels yelled and cried
The sky was alight with the glow of their spears
Humans on earth looked up in wonder
As the sky was torn asunder.

Diamante
Claire Cass Dec 2012
I wish we could have gazed upon the stars together
And seen the diamonds twinkling in the sky
I wish we could have stared at the moon so bright
And full in the heavens
I wish we could have spent more time talking
Together just you and I
These things I wish o'er and o'er again
As the diamonds rain from the sky

Fly
Claire Cass Dec 2012
Fly
Fly away into the darkness of the night
The stars will reach out their ethereal light
Fly away into the night
The moon will lure you with its gravitational might
Fly away into the night
To the planets in their rhythmic orbit
Fly away in the night
To the sun and its warm embrace

Ad Astra
Claire Cass Dec 2012
Stars twinkle in the inky black sky
Fire and power radiate from this fiery orb
Explosions emanate from an overwhelming nebula
Yet writers compose prose about this radiant crown
Yet wishers wish upon this lustrous glimmer in the darkest of nights
Yet travelers look upon them as a beacon of hope
Yet children sing about them in their quaint songs
Stars twinkle the inky black sky; celestial bodies of hope love and power

My Lullaby
Claire Cass Dec 2012
Whirr of the fan set on low
Soft talking down below
Crickets chirping out my window
Wind softly does it blow
These are the reassuring sounds that I know
They lull me to sleep, just so

Lumiens Oriens
Claire Cass Feb 2012
As dusk settles into her short lived throne

Night waits in the sky ready to cover the world,

In her utter darkness

The sun fights for those last rays

Clinging onto the orb

Trying to hold onto his lofty reign

But alas night descendeth on the Earth

His shroud covering the heavens

The stars puncture through the inky blackness

The moon rises and gives light to all that prowl

Night reigns with a mighty fist and lingers almost endlessly

Every little shadow is hers

Every cave she claims

As the sun struggles into the sky once again

Helios driving his fiery chariot

Night goes willingly knowing she has left her mark upon this globe

For night has always been...

But always, always, always there is a shimmer of hope in our hearts

And in the world there shines the population with life so vital and

So glorious that night can never truly win

Once night ruled the sky and the very air we breath

with a cold iron first

******* all that was life from the world

But the light has come and with him comes his

Resonating, clear hope into the world and

Into the souls of the people

Light, life. and hope intertwined

First Love
Claire Cass Dec 2012
You coax the stars from the heaven
With your words so enticing
You can make the saddest of days joyful
With your laugh, so light and airy
Your smile dims the sun's bright rays
Your eyes so ever-changing stormy blue and emerald green
They put Poseidon's realm to shame
You carry my fragile heart so tender
And ease all my pain
You bring out the best in me

Cleansing
Claire Cass Dec 2012
The tide washes away the traces of your footprints beside me. It erases your physical presence in my life with gentle lapping waves but the emotional ties cannot be severed so easily...but soon the ocean will smooth the rocky hardness of my heart and make it pliable. Soon I will be able to look back and see you only as a speck from the shore.


Not really poem form but I like it like this!
Claire Cass Feb 2012
Cry, wail, lament, and mourn

The love you shared, and the fact

You will never see your

Lover,

Soul-mate,

Dearest friend again.

But rejoice, celebrate, and be joyous,

That their soul has left

The weak, sick, form they once inhabited.

They suffered and were in pain.

They cried out to be put out of their miseries

But held a strong face.

They watched the sympathetic faces of the blurring crowd;

But one stood out among the rest.

The true visage of their love

And the sorrow that clouded their eyes.

That sorrowful love made the pain

Better and

Worse.

In those last moments of life they want

That person beside them,

That last look,

That last "I love you,"

And that last image in their eyes,

Burned into their mind is

You.

To them that is the best. most wonderful sight

In the world.

In that moment they know

They have not died in vain.

While you cry after they pass,

They rejoice with the knowledge of seeing

You, one last time and that you are living on.

So be sad for today,

But remember they left you to live

And be happy.

So cry for today,

BUT

Awaken tomorrow with a new purpose,

The purpose of living for your love.

*The purpose of Death.

Rain Dance
Claire Cass Dec 2012
The sound of power tears through the air
The clouds cry with relief
And the ground soaks up its offering
The people revel in its happiness
Relief from Helios' ever present heat
**Rain indeed

Girl on Fire
Claire Cass Dec 2012
The night is filled with fiery untamed thoughts,
Confusing, errant, and new
Swirling in my head
Like smoke rising from its fire counterpart
Trying to decipher these signals from afar,
And instead they come faster and faster
Like fire eating at the brush
Smoldering and sizzling in my brain

Word Art
Claire Cass Dec 2012
I cannot paint
I cannot draw.
But I can draw
The most beautiful, detailed sketches
With my thoughts
But I can paint a scene,
A story, and a dream
And make it vibrant
And alive in your imagination,
With only my words.
My art is special in another way.

Facade
Claire Cass Dec 2012
I smile for the happiness I feel inside
For the pain I try to hide.
The utter despair I sometimes feel
The smile to conceal
Smiling for the joy
For the love of a boy
The smile is not just for what I feel
Sometimes it is a seal
For the emotions that rage away
Inside my heart everyday
So judge me by my cover
For those emotions are hidden under
The facade that sometimes my lips fake
The smile for my *own emotions sake

Lie to Me
Claire Cass Dec 2012
Darkness draws in on all sides.
The light being ****** in softly and lovingly
Into the silence that permeates this utter void
That cold hard dark caresses and carefully utters
Sweet, sweet promises to the light
Promises never kept
Lies told so easily
The light fades and fades
Pulled in from the allure
Of that enticing darkness
She doesn't realize that she is hurting herself
Led astray but something not needed nor wanted
Lulled by promises of love
Promises of love
Only a small piece of her remains
That enchanting light that the darkness had to claim
Darkness draws in on all sides
Lies told so easily

Cry, Cry, Cry
Claire Cass Dec 2012
The thunder roars
And takes my breath away.
The lightning flashes
All i see are the clouds
So black and menacing
And as the rain falls down around me,
I look up to the sky
And the tears I shed are
No different from
The drops that fall
From my face.

— The End —
