Mother Nature
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Her eyes are set deep,
Dark and profound,
Blue and crystalline,
Full of mysteries,

In spring she dresses in green,
She is joyful, full of life,
Autumn brings another dress,
Hues of brown, red, and orange,

She keeps balance,
Destroying, resetting the land,
Her nature is beautiful,
The original scenery,

She watches he children,
Keeping them safe,
Even when they take her,
And abuse her resources,

Her storms and catastrophes,
Are like a mother's hand,
Spanking, teaching her children,
Quickly replaced by love,

She does not hate,
She cannot hold a grudge,
She can only love,
And passively watch,

Let us love her back,
Repay her for her pain,
Stop cutting, and ****** her,
Appreciating her beauty.

Truely
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Hiding nothing from each other,
Only good feelings and pleasure,
Never going to let go,
Except one of us lied,
Secretly playing the feild,
To find true love elsewhere,
Leaving me behind,
You move on alone,

No Escape
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Hollow and alone,
He lays on the floor,
Hiding from his fears,
Behind a locked door,

No one will find him,
Because no one can see,
The lives that he has taken,
Arbitrarily,

A plan was set in motion,
Premeditated ******,
He went day after day,
Only one step further,

As the goal grows closer,
His course becomes more clear,
He cannot stray off the path,
He must surmount his fear,

A life is a precious thing,
It is fragile and frail,
It should not be neglected,
And cannot be for sale,

At the end of a gun,
A life's value you can find,
It is all to unfortunate,
He who shoots is blind,

After the flash of powder,
Post action thoughts begin,
Whispers all around him,
Reminders of his sin,

Hie cannot find forgiveness,
For a sin he shan't confess,
Deeper into depression,
His feelings recess,

A thought, a way out,
Strikes all who dive so deep,
A "simple" way to end it,
Their own life to reap,

The aftermath is worse,
Then all the sin combined,
When another life is taken,
A soul in sin confined,

Dive
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
The crusty age-ed man,
Wobbles on the precipice,
Trembling, shaking, catatonic,
Contemplating life,

Before him, beating the air,
Amidst the swirling snow,
Flies his beast,
Watching him carefully,

Suddenly plummeting,
Hurtling toward earth,
As the ground races up,
He widens his eyes,

His heart rate slows,
He relaxes and concentrates,
Probing for a consciousness,
He feels it coming,

Behind him is the roar,
The blue flames surround him,
And the beast appears beside,
catches him on its neck,

Feet above the spines,
It beats it's massive wings,
And pulls out of the dive,
Beast and rider gliding along,

Skimming along the water,
Mist ****** up,
Into the evening air,
Perfecting the scenery,

The End of a Dwarf
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Day 87
We hit a harder seam today,
Several pics broke,
Gami is still sick,
I think he will pass soon,
Our food is holding well,

Day 92
We are though the bedrock,
Soon we will hit pay dirt,
A team met us with fresh tools; This means blisters again,
Morale is dropping; Gami is hallucinating,
Today he called out to Ragem; Why would a god answer him?
He is a hindrance,
Food supplies are still sufficient,

Day 93
My day-clock was broken today,
Glimli found the first gem of the mission,
In the shuffle someone smashed my clock,
It will be harder to deal with no light now,
I want Gami gone, Things are going wrong,
No one will turn back, god help us,

Day 96* *I think
I am doing my best to keep time,
When I am off the pic line I count seconds,
Gami has grown silent, I expect to bury him soon,
My bad luck has not gotten worse, I found a gem today,
We have begun filling the first of twenty carts,
Our food stores continue to hold,

Day 100?
I lost all time, We are all attempting to recreate day,
We light a lamp at three quarters oil,
While it burns we think day, when it dies; night
Gami seems to be coming back from the edge,
Today he walked on his own,
A wyrm and some rot were found in our grain,
I fear my luck has left again, I offered my first meal to Ragem,

Day 100 Something
I need to leave, Gami has recovered but his brain is damaged,
He speaks gibberish, He is insane,
The others follow him because he claims to have seen Ragem,
Gami has been given two guards, and a throne,
I don't understand whats happening,
We continued though pay dirt; found several gems today,
I have heard the walls whisper, we will begin supporting the ceiling,

120 at least
It's over we will die here, Going is so slow,
Putting supports up quarters our progress,
We expected a relief train earlier, no one has come,
Gami is ruling, everyone obeys him, but why??
I need to dethrone him, but the others will take his side,..
He must die, I will **** him,
I am developing a plan to get close to him,
Food has been rationed, I suspect because Gami is piggish,

Day 130
Today is the day of Death,
I warned Gami that the ceiling was loose,
He sent three men including one of his guards to the pic line,
They were killed swiftly by a large release from the roof,
Also two men died of sickness, likely from bad grain,
I have showed intrest in being Gami's guard, I shall not write if I am,
For fear of this falling into the wrong hands,
Ragem help me!!!




Day 145
I DID IT! I was able to **** Gami,
I followed him to the back of the group for his rest,
While he slept I placed the prepared rock in his mouth,
Then struck it with another driving it into his throat,
He died silently, and no one ask any questions,
Life has returned to normal; mostly,
We are very short on food, and continue to have bad luck,
Our gem payout is very shy of what it ought to be,
We will turn to steeper tunnels,
Praise Ragem!

Day 150
Our food is gone, few people have personal stashes,
We sent a party back up the tunnel to look for a relief train,
They have not returned, There are only fifteen of us left,
Our steeper tunnels have helped with our payout,
Hunger is always in my fore mind,
I hope they return soon,

They are here! They found the party killed but not pillaged,
Someone kept them from delivering the food and tools!
I suggested that Gami may have, to keep it for himself,
This seems to be the accepted reason, But Give Thanks, FOOD!

Day 160
Sickness persists, total numbers are down to twelve,
The sounds of the dead are all around, I fear death,
Supplies are full, but morale is horrible,
The good earth continues to give up her gems,
Maybe we will finish this work and return home?
I have been called to fill in for deceased, work loads are increasing,

Day 166
I am completely exhausted, two more have died today,
But the others seem to be recovering, Our carts are almost filled,
There is hope for survival,
There are now ten of us, shifts are halved, and rations are doubled,
Work has slowed, The walls seem to breath, Telling us to leave,
I miss my table, my wine, and my wife,

Day Something
We have decided to turn back, We dug into a chasm,
The pic line broke into it, then the rocks they stood on fell,
We lost three good men, The chasm is deeper than we can see,
There is orange light and fog at the bottom,
It will be hard to push these carts up the steeper tunnels,
Supplies hold well, has bad luck returned?


Final Entry
It is all over, as we pushed our riches up and up, The floor broke,
Dropping us into another, older, tunnel, The gems went everywhere,
Two more men were crushed by rock and carts,
We have no way to return to the tunnel above us,
We do not know which way is out,
Furthermore our food sits ten feet above us, watching us starve,
Why did I not turn back when I had the chance,

**Sweetie I love you and I I .. Cannot say how much I need,:;,.. Without anywhere to see my.:'"; AHHHHhhhhh.....

Magnolia's Protection
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Under the magnolia tree,
A warm spring night,
The petals begin to fall,
But I cannot see them,

I sleep soundly,
Looking up toward this beauty,
The rainbow colors,
Will never reach me,

The elegance of nature,
Creates the most beauty,
From the branches and petals,
To the intricate roots,

All who see this tree,
And its petals,
They think of me,
For I am always here,

This tree protects me,
Its leaves keep the rain off,
Its roots keep me sheltered,
And its colors keep me alive,

Even as I sleep,
In a coffin below,
My favorite tree in life,

Silent Feelings
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
An unwanted twinge,
A sheathed blade,
Ready to strike,
A killing blow,

Hiding in shadows,
Waiting to strike,
A patient enemy,
Is the most deadly,

Like a dagger,
Slides between two ribs,
These silent feelings cut,
Directly to the Heart,

No armour can protect,
A man whilst he sleeps,
The only place that is safe,
Is the place after life,

With no warning,
From an unknown source,
A pin ***** is felt,
And the life is snuffed out,

Cracked "the Skull"
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
There upon the top of "the Skull"
Stood three old ****** trees,
That have see the ages change,

They had seen the older times,
When people slaughtered by command,
All types of animals to save themselves,
But the bloodshed could never end,

These trees have seen the New ways,
They have seen the lack of sacrifices,
They know the feeling of freedom,
They stand as reminders of the Old,

Upon this small hill,
These three trees saw the ages change,
With a final sacrifice, of Human blood,
One final all encompassing ****,

These tree trees stood and held,
Three men above the rest,
So their agony was seen,
For all people to enjoy,

But what the executioners did not know,
That they were working for the executed,
Without this sacrifice, there was not redemption
They killed, and created their salvation,

The mysteries of thirty two A.D.
There upon the "Place of the Skull"
The unbelievable sacrifice to save the lost,
This love could crack any **Skull

The Shape of a Soul
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
A                                         Soul
it has no                        definite shape
but we do know            how it can be found,
Just look behind          our feeling and pain,
It defines our essence, Our most pure self
We carry it around everywhere we go,
It may not take up space, But we
know where it is, We can
not forget it or leave
it at home, It is
always with
us where
we go!

Lucifer
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Candles flicker,
Shadows jump and dance,
In the room,
Where a woman stands,

She is beautiful,
By mans standards,
High brows and sculpted cheeks,
A temptress' smile,

She stands,
Still like a stone,
Dressed up,
Perfect make up,

The door shrieks,
and slowly opens,
She squeezes her eyes shut,
A chill from her toes to her nape,

She knows,
No man may pass though,
The door of the dead,
She can guess the spirit,

Her mind cuts back,
To an October day,
She lost everything,
And turned to him,

He gave her wealth,
He gave her looks,
He gave her Fame,
He became her all,

She gave him a promise,
She gave him her heart,
He stole her soul,
And comes to collect,

She recoils at the touch,
Of sharp ice,
And fiery Steel,
She recants,

But it is too late,
She is his,
He will ravage her,
In his eternal fire,

Doomed
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Sitting alone,
Waiting for something,
Time to reflect,
Time for pondering,

The mind wanders,
Back, Back,
Before "it" happened,
When life was "normal"

When the sky was blue,
Before the rivers ran red,
When the fields were green,
And flowers would grow,

The forests were green,
Animals roaming,
Birds singing,
And food could grow,

The skies are purple,
Filled with debris,
From other earths,
And deep underground,

The machines were merciless,
Wholly set to accomplish a goal,
To violate this ****** earth,
And take her seed,

To plant elsewhere,
Grow and nurish,
Then harvest again,
Such is their game,

But earth cannot comprehend,
The powers that be,
Lying behind,
Such extraterrestrial visitors,

Escaping back,
To that wonderful world,
With everything needed,
And more to enjoy,

When people were free,
And bread was cheap,
When pleasure was possible,
When children could play,

For never again,
Will happiness be heard,
For once it is barren,
They destroy the world,

To Live is To Survive
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Stranded alone on an island,
A man floated among his dreams,
Tried to ignore his coming death,
Tried to silence the inner screams,

His world was shattered,
One fateful day,
When his plane fell down,
Into the bay,

He left his daughters,
And his wife,
Across the sea,
He left his life,

He drempt of home,
And many a night,
Against odds and nature,
He would fight,

For he was strong,
And determined was he,
For again with his family,
He would be,

He fought for months,
And on and on,
But no one would come,
To set eyes upon,

This lonely soul,
And tormented he,
Was tempted to himself,
From suffering free,

As he held the knife,
And scratched his skin,
He could hear the calling,
From deep within,

He knew that if he died,
There was no chance to see,
His daughters again,
Or with his wife to be,

So he pressed on,
And fought harder,
But it seemed from salvation,
He only got farther,

His heart and soul,
Were both shattered,
He could move on no more,
His will was tattered,

Then the chopper,
Flew into his cove,
And into the water,
His salvation dove,

As they moved onto land,
And toward his bed,
They found him lying,
Bitter, cold, and Dead,

Somewhere along,
Beings, fates, or gods,
Are harsh and cruel,
Ne'er sparing the rod

Life is not easy,
And never is fair,
But we must push through,
Even when no hope is there,

If we give up,
And bow our head,
Then we are crawling,
Into deaths bed,

The least we can do,
If fight on and long,
Till every ounce,
Of strength is gone,

Slogan Riddle
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
You are in free fall at 10,000 feet,
You have no parachute, no phone to call for help,
No one is nearby, No one else can catch you,

You have a can of spray paint, (any color you choose)
And you have a plastic toy cow,

HOW DO YOU SURVIVE???

A Simple Elegance
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Often her beauty is passed over,
Many a dress is wasted,
She cannot acquire his attention,
No matter how she dresses up,

She dies at every failure,
She longs for a single glance,
To be graced by a single word,
Living to be noticed by him,

Every night she dreams,
Of life with him and her,
The pangs of love chain her,
To a life of slavery,

After her will is broken,
When she is no longer strong,
She reverts to her more natural self,
And he seeks her out,

He finds and admires her person,
He sees that she is at peace,
She cannot believe it was so easy,
To meet her only love,

All of our faking and strutting,
All of the false looks,
They only cover our colors,
And hide us from true love,

Silver Statues
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
There is a land, over the sea,
Where all around, on hills and spires,
Stand tall and gleaming, in morning sun,
The Silver Statues, still and hushed,

They watch over their land, constantly,
Eyes all around, There are no secrets,
The statues know all, even the darkness,
None can hide, from the statues eyes,

Ages of memories, stored in silver,
Boundless wisdom, locked within,
Silently watching, waiting for an age,
When this eternal punishment, shall ensnare them no more,

Statues connected, by thought and by mind,
Standing guard, for all of time,
Ranks on an island, invaluable stones,
But none can see them, or share in their load,

This is the penalty, for those who betray,
Those who cross, and harm their friends,
He is chained, in a world of pain,
For he cannot repay, an innocent friend,

Automatons Below
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
Huge spinning gears,
Large spurts of steam,
Clanking of metal pieces,
A constant roar of machinery,

Earth shaking steps,
A lumbering monster,
It moves with the power of an avalanche,
Crushing all in its path,

Somewhere just below,
A race of giants live,
Technology beyond belief,
Remnant of older nations,

Golden Machines,
Harder than steel,
Machines for war,
To guard their last,

None can find or comprehend,
The power that lies beneath,?A true titan below us,
The Automaton awaits,

The Lamb
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
A lamb, soft and tender,
Wanders, around an unknown bend,

Misguided, pretender,
It knows not, when its life shall end,

Dwarfed by natures forces,
All around fly evils sources,

A small light, flickers, wanes,
Precious lamb, caught in death's dark chains,

All WE can do is love,
For WE are like little lost Lambs.

From the Stars
Maximus Tamo Apr 2016
About the Space flew no Satellites,
So never could any fall to  earth,
There was one who knew his origin,
Good over Evil, Light not Dark, No Slave but Free,

He Flew about with a Question,
Could he be the only of his kind,
He knew none like himself,
He decided to fall to earth,

The earth was bare, laid to waste,
First he made fire, a light to see,
He made a schedule set the time,
A time for suns and time for moons,

He made a home for himself far above.
A perfect place of light.
Filled with Joy and delight.
To share with those he should meet.

He then visited the sea shore,
Noted the difference of land and sea,
He planted a seed and grew a tree,
Vegetation around him sprang,

He looked up and saw the stars,
Twinkling and shining down,
He placed a disk, a moon,
To dance round his happy earth,

This moon pulled the seas,
He pulled a creature from the depths,
And admired its perfect nature,
Then above him sang a dove,

Out from the Trees sprang a deer,
Long and slender it bounced along,
Finally a Man he saw drawn in dirt,
He sat up and began to talk,

Looking about at all the Glory,
Above, Below, And all around,
He couldn't help but say,
"IT IS GOOD"

— The End —
