He sits, listening, To the sounds of wisemen bickering. They plan and they plot, They prepare and they propose, But one is not enough And so the whole battalion goes. He sits, listening, To the sounds of small flames flickering. They throw meat to the wolves, They crush a thousand hearts, But this is not honor And so one mind begins to spark. He stands, speaking, Of his people, his fondness leaking. He is defending their hearts, He is righteous and fair, But this is not his court And so tempers start to flare. He stands, agreeing, To a duel of fire, his temper steaming. He will face the wiseman, He will win this fight, But that is not his opponent And so defeat is in his sight. He kneels, pleading, For his own surrender, his soul bleeding. He will not fight his father, He will not fight his king, But his father bears no hesitance And so his screams begin to ring. He bows, burning, And his father says this is learning. His mind cannot trace the lesson, His face is melting with his will, But he survives this tragedy And so he yearns for his fathers love still. A lone prince sails, chasing, After a life he knows he isn’t facing. He stood for the soldiers at his back, He fell for their lies suffering bad, But few know this painful story And so he searches for honor he always had.

A Lone Prince
Tides change with their mood The cold moon pulls the rough waves to pale shores in a show of true affection Ocean pushes away in a fit of rage to pull fools to the depths.

The Melon Lord
Four weeks that you were gone In Ba Sing Se I was feeling like a pawn The Dai Li keeping the war a secret I felt so helpless and weak but I had to keep looking for my fuzzy friend The issues of this city we had to amend You were broken and betrayed The fires hot making you afraid Iroh and Zuko set you free Now reunited I can brave the Elements

Four Elements
I miss the Painted Lady The way she strides on top of murky depths Making it pristine like rain down crystal beams Like a white tipped brush that sweeps one with grace The way she erotically leaps from ripple to ripple With her gestures like man in amphitheatres I, longing for when she dove for blackness say I miss the Painted Lady.
