Beacon in the sky
  Shining bright in
      The darkness of night.
          A guiding light to me home.
           Never fade. Navigational aid in
            Centuries past. Beautiful light
              Forever last

The greatest general of all time.
Born in 356 B.C. in Pella, Macedon.
Son of Phillip II of Macedon.
Became King of Macedon in 336 B.C.
Led an army of Greeks to victories,
conquered most of Greece.
Invaded and conquered the great
Persian Empire. Extended his empire from
Macedon all the way to the outer parts of India.
Near the Ganges river,
his tired and war weary army refused
to go on. Alexander dies in Babylon in 323 B.C.
thus ended the life of Alexander, greatest of all generals.

Was there really an Atlantis?
An advanced civilization
that existed 9,000 years ago?
A city full of wonders
streets made of gold.
Then in a single night the
Earth shook,
as if it were a snow
globe in a child's hand.
The land began to sink into
the ocean, never to be seen again.
Now it only exists in
the imagination of man.
It's 5am and she is awake
Something woke her from her fitful sleep
She wanders the halls
          each step getting colder
Taking in the photographs on the walls
She sees a smiling beautiful couple
She wonders if they're  not just the doppelganger, their double
           she sees movement out of the                       corner of her eye
She stops to stare at one in particular
Back then, her hair fuller, nails thicker  
          a soft, cool breeze upon her neck
Then he fell into the water, never to come up for breath    
Since then, she too has wished for death
            she believes she hears his voice whispering in her ear
Today though death will not come
              "I am here waiting for you to come to me"
The sun is up, death is again gone 
                *she turns her head, nothing to see
I decided to make a story out of "Ghost"
This one is more of the back story. Please enjoy, this is the first time I've tried this. The last "chapter" I hope to have finished by weeks end.

A ghost
The spirit of
a long departed person
Tied to this world
with a message to tell
Yelling, screaming
yet the living do not hear.

Eminem
Slim Shady
Marshall Mathers
All names of my
favorite music artist
of all time.
Spits a rhyme so
great you would think it's
poetry. Songs
that make you laugh
get you pumped up
make you think
make you cry.

Look! Up in the
sky!, it's a bird

*Cena's entrance music plays
I'm a huge Cena fan, and just wanted to write something silly
