"corraled" poems
Once upon a twilight tingle, under the moonlit stars' twinkle
Such a foul fowl, 'tis only a foul owl
"What brings you here on this most auspacious night of nights?" I asked
The task it brought, I knew not, I merely cowered, as it did growl
I, with my guitar in hand, hastely jumped upon the warm sand, tipping, and tripping upon my towel,
As the Owl, with it's luminous eyes, began to tread the now seemingly still and chilled soil,
The ocean's roar slowly died down
t'was not the only sound that began to silence itself
even the pestilent winds around us fell idle to the ground
My reverberating heartbeat now the only audible sound
Fear finally finding sanctum in thoughts of logic
Think my man, think strategic, for this is what you now can do
Afright, now simple curiousity
No necessity was it, t'was a simple question i began to skew,
"what is your name, you obnoxious creature you?"
The now appearing invisible predator corraled the picture on the back of my guitar and flew, cawwing merely once calmly "Who are you?"

On a night of fate,
a celestial being manifested,
a set of golden optics,
Shared a moment with a set of blue.
Shaking metacarpus,
soft against an elated visage.
two minds, two bodies.
two souls, two mates.
Breaths of desperation,
words wrapped around a vascular piece,
Forcing them to stay,
not to say. No; never to say.
the stars are crossed,
a with held fate,
Forbidden to love,
a censored verse, a poet corraled.
Began a word of truth,
Hold it dear to our souls,
and letting go will never be,
on a night of fate.

As he arose from the whirlwind of ash, he wondered what it was that
had actually happened. The last thing he remembered was that he had
fallen off the edge of the frail olive branch, everything covered in
flames. As he came plumeting down, he was corraled out of the air by a
dove. This dove, with her lush, white feathers glistening above the fire
that had engulfed the land, had brought him to her olive branch, but
much like his own olive branch, hers too began to split, and combust. It
was as though everything that he touched died. He despised it. The
dove comforted him, telling him, that they merely havn't found their
olive branch. "It's not necessary to be born into the olive branch to
which you belong." said she. so they searched on and on. To this day,
they search. He had found half of himself, the day the dove came from
above, but alas, he has yet to find the other half. For she is Immortal
Dove, and he only a mere idea, however every idea may perhaps have
the potential to become immortal, depending entirely upon what it is
nurtured with, and the perspective behind it.
