Sing songs to the leafs,
Lamentation to the trees who drop them.
Handily place them.
To the salvation, of recitation.

So that when they mold
into the ground.
That their primitive essence may be found.

For another tree to grow,
out of the seed that you did sow.
But sing to the seed no more.
They have all they need. A breath to draw.

Compulsion is a sad thing,
making all of emotions deafeningly ring.
So you must understand. There's things I can do, and things I cant...
Though I have to say, that don't excuse why ate your aunt.

You must understand, that when you have these enormous fangs.
Sometime you get these inexplicably ravenous pangs.
All I seem to want to do is eat,
the very first person that I meet.

Believe it or not, but I am sorry for these rather large eye's
Which were used to make mocking disguise.
I know the shock must have been great.
The aftermath I knew you'd hate.

Though the woodsman cut me open with an axe,
I honestly don't find the judgment lax.
He did what he had to do,
so who am I to ever blame you.

But though this tale maybe done,
there are plenty of children left to chase and to run...

I look upon this humble earth,
the place I proudly, call my birth.

For there are many others worlds
with placid rings and gentle swirls.

But I look gently with loving eyes.
To the cold gray cloudy skies.

Of earth.
A quick poem about home and the earth :)

Nobility is a word seldom spoken,
an idea that has forever been forgotten.

But out of the red and into the light.
Made this boys world ever so bright.
Was the man who told him wrong from right,
pray that he shall live for one more night.

Though we can never know just what to do.
Or how to convey how much love they have for you.
We know that this love is true.

For a just noble man.
This poem is for anyone who really loves there parents/ grandparents. Just wanted to write something for the people that are in my family who are gone. Hope everyone like it :)

I have no fancy footing nor fortress on which I stand,
but I look upon this humble world, and think it rather grand.

I look to those cold and open pages,
the words from poets written over ages.
telling us from where to come and how we go there.
All that we have seen and done, taking us to nowhere.

They talk of war, and death galore.
Of how we paint this world, a subtle shade of red.
That all that we have ever done is dying and or dead.
but there is something they have forgotten, an idea of a road left rotten.

What of the beauty?
What of the dove?
what of all those ideas that make us love...

Are they not important too?
I leave this choice down to you.

There is something I keep forgetting.
For all your things are still here.

Why does this seem strange, for you have simply taken a voyage.
But there are things amiss, little things here and there.

Why is your closet full of cloths and shoes?
Bookcase is still holding all the books.

Why?

Why would you leave your rings behind?
You always kept them, perfectly assigned to each finger.

Sometimes I think its strange... you are only now in my mind.

Perhaps I am me because, you are here.
Know you make me. Me.

Thus it would rightly follow that I am me and you are we.
Together we must be.

One.

Know that  through you I become, me.
Because of you. Making eyes see.

Half of me, you must be.
To complete me.
The way that you do.
Thank you. For showing me,
that together we, are me.
A small poem on love. hope you all like it :)
