#gigantic - Hello Poetry

A soul so precious it's aura gold Yet stained with sadness untold Broken Frayed In life's waves is tossed Still keeps good spirits Despite all he has lost He is rain on a hot summer day Heart beating underneath shades of grey Band-aid to cushion wounds no one else seemed to see Healed with one kiss from him effortlessly But now he wears armor over his own skin Preventing new love from seeping in And I don't think I can break through to his soul Without ripping a gigantic unmendable hole

An Aura Of Gold

A soul so precious it's aura gold Yet stained with sadness untold Broken Frayed In life's waves is tossed Still keeps good spirits Despite all he has lost He is rain on a hot summer day Heart beating underneath shades of grey Band-aid to cushion wounds no one else seemed to see Healed with one kiss from him effortlessly But now he wears armor over his own skin Preventing new love from seeping in And I don't think I can break through to his soul Without ripping a gigantic unmendable hole

We embarked upon a titanic voyage to a new world. It’s said that behind every great man there's a great woman; But a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. 7 bells rang late that night, as our ship stuck fast; between the devil and the deep blue sea. Fingers frantic! tapping code…—-… Sailors quickly battened down the hatches and stowed away the Riff-raff, for they knew fine words would butter no parsnips, Better here than there in third class. Some fiddlers on the deck played “Nearer My God to Thee", As the bubbles rose from beneath the sea, come buckle down boys for the devils to pay, come hell or high water he’ll have his pay. Mothers row, land lubbers row, it's time to leave this god forsaken place. pulling hard for freedom. Ten steel decks split and snap, as they join the ***** and hundreds either shriek or pray; as La dolce vita slowly ebbed away. Mercifully the cacophony descends ever silent, as fifteen hundred souls become neither fish nor flesh, rotting from the head down. Save our souls •••- - - •••. … — …

Men shielded their eyes from her effulgence, Heat rippling across the valley Cascading into cool mists - That was how the tempest began. Each naive stride and stroke Raking chain reactions through the fields, Winds picking up speed She began to dance. That was when she noticed the chill. Her arms opened wide to beckon her sisters, The sea, And they ran to her, Changing her, Lending her Their powerful wings. Cyclopsian, she rose above, First drizzles, then droves, and deluge. Shiver, shiver, shake, Drops sprayed and furled Across the innocent Wreaking havoc From moon to covered moon Until she'd spent it all. Heat, chill, water, light, wind, All gone. Spent. To trudge up the mountain Searching for radiance once more.

Day 10: Gigantic

Men shielded their eyes from her effulgence, Heat rippling across the valley Cascading into cool mists - That was how the tempest began. Each naive stride and stroke Raking chain reactions through the fields, Winds picking up speed She began to dance. That was when she noticed the chill.

1 The surging water threw strange shapes, Waiting crows with stabbing beaks In the sky and in the drowned souls, Festering in the swell. The huge irrepressible waves Spread wings flattening houses with a single downward swipe. It was a sudden death, They died screaming-avidly watched by millions nestling before TV sets Unmoved if sympathetic. They had watched enough CGI Not to be bothered by such drama. 2. The girl quietly combed her hair, Bitter black in the lamplight, Watching the snarling fox shoot from its lair Slathering with fright. As she lifted her arm again The salt spray struck her, flattening her face The wave soothed where her smile had been Her limbs acquiring a greater grace. It ****** in cars and houses, gulping down The unresistant landscape with unforgiving speed, Turning the living green into regurgitated brown Digesting the landscape with ******** greed It drew her little body back into the equalising sea Just another bit of debris.

The gigantic sphere in somewhere we don't know resting on the throne of the Sun The gigantic sphere up in the east sky rising slowly like a man climbing up the Everest The gigantic sphere up in the west sky falling slowly like a snail climbing down the Everest The Sun is slow but we feels fast Why so fast while so slow? 'Cause you are having Fun!

The Sun

The gigantic sphere in somewhere we don't know resting on the throne of the Sun The gigantic sphere up in the east sky rising slowly like a man climbing up the Everest The gigantic sphere up in the west sky falling slowly like a snail climbing down the Everest The Sun is slow but we feels fast Why so fast while so slow? 'Cause you are having Fun!
