I guess I'm a little late, but here are a few of mine (I know it's a lot, but I think that these are really good, and I'd like to share them with the world):
The One’s Tale
By: The Dragon
What arm is there to catch me?
What net is there for safety?
I am tossed upon an endless sea,
I just want to be set free.
But no one can ever save,
The one who can’t be seen,
For the one is the one brave,
Soul to be so keen.
To who may read what I write,
You can never understand,
What words cannot ignite,
In this endless stand.
To reach the endless end,
To win the hopeless fight,
To straighten the endless bend,
Or to calm the longest fright.
You must burn the pages,
Re-dip the quill,
Tame the fires of ages,
And finally fulfill.
What we have tried,
What we have failed,
All of our pride,
Remove all our veils.
In this hour,
Of truth and of light,
Evil gains power,
The darkest night.
What seems so right,
Is forever wrong,
Filled with light,
And with song.
But its true path,
Reveals a tale,
Of all the wrath,
The most biting scale.
The teeth of gold,
The claws of white,
The body so old,
The mind so bright.
What darkness could sway,
And light could not,
Will always obey,
What I have forgot.
And in the one’s hour,
Of greatest need,
The only true power,
Is that of a seed.
A seed of death,
A seed of bad omen,
Seeking the breath,
Of all the betrothen.
Of all the love,
Of all the hate,
What is of “of,”
Could only be fate.
The Reflection Of Perfection
By: The Dragon
The things that are perfect,
The things that are great,
The things that reflect,
My love and hate.
You, are that mirror,
There on that wall,
You are yourself,
The fairest one of them all.
When all have left,
You can be there,
With the smile you have,
And the smell of your hair.
Your wonderful shape,
Your sparkling eyes,
Just looking at you,
Gives me butterflies.
The lump in my throat,
The tears in my eyes,
The words that I wrote,
Could not summarize.
The way that I feel,
The thoughts that I had,
The permanent seal,
What could make me more sad?
The explosions inside me,
I could never let out,
The part you will see,
Is only the doubt.
My heart pumps my blood,
My tears fall like rain,
I will never forget,
How crazy, how sane.
The only thing,
That drives me away,
The song that I sing,
Can not let me stay.
If I sit in one place,
I will surely die,
I can’t keep this pace,
Or see eye to eye.
For the love of the sun,
For the love of the moon,
My heart weighs a ton,
I must see you soon.
My day is spent waiting,
For when I see you,
The rest I am rating,
The things that I do.
I feel like a child,
How lonely, how cold,
I remember you smiled,
When I tried to be bold.
I don’t know if you’ll see this,
I don’t know if you’ll care,
But I am is bliss,
When we share the same air.
They Clipped My Wings
By: The Dragon
They clipped my wings,
But I tried to fly,
I fell down beneath,
An azure sky.
Hurt and wounded,
I found my way,
Through this dark,
And gloomy day.
I walk through desert,
I walk through rain,
Nothing I know,
Can cope with the pain.
The sun and the moon,
The heat and the cold,
I will be home soon,
A sight I shall behold.
On broken wing,
And flustered air,
I try to sing,
Of my despair.
As I rise above the cloud,
I see below the cold night,
People there, they are so proud,
And in my anguish I lose sight.
Of what really matters,
Of what’s really there,
My dreams are in tatters,
But no one cares.
My dreams fall apart,
My dreams rain down,
On every heart,
In that lonely town.
Everyone will go there,
Most will leave,
But every hopeless prayer,
Can not bring reprieve.
The town will last,
And escape the ravages of time,
Remember the past,
Remember the climb.
Today But Not Tomorrow
By: The Dragon
Today,
What is today?
Today is the moment,
Which can never say.
Today I shall be,
Surrounded in darkness,
But light flows from beside me,
It warms me, now less.
If I could only say,
If you could only know,
I would not be so gray,
This is painfully slow.
I feel I must say,
I feel you must hear,
That today is the day,
I shall never come near.
Today is the day,
Not yesterday or tomorrow,
Today is the day,
I express my sorrow.
Tomorrow is nothing,
There is nothing there,
Just an impression,
Of the burden I bear.
Yesterday is forgotten,
From the things I know,
The future is rotten,
Like the tale that I sew.
If the world was perfect,
You would be here,
If the world was perfect,
I would be there.
If the world was perfect,
There would be no doubt,
If the world was perfect,
There would be a route.
If the world was perfect,
I wouldn’t be shot,
If the world was perfect,
Oh, but its not.
That means that you,
Can not understand,
That what makes me different,
Is the side that I stand.
I could never tell,
And that kills me inside,
But while I do dwell,
I shall have to abide.
To keep my distance,
But my heart can’t help but scream,
Do something, Do something,
But it’s only a dream.
A dream of fury,
A dream of love,
A dream of glory,
A dream I’m sick of.
A dream of compassion,
A dream of rage,
A dream of dreams ashen,
A dream of a cage.
A cage that traps me,
And nobody cares,
Just a decree,
“Of the burden he bears.”
Out of the darkness,
I find the will,
To tell you the truth…
I love you Jill.
When is enough, enough?
By: The Dragon
Here in a cave,
Filled with right,
I am a slave,
Who can’t see the light.
I fill will dread,
For all I have lost,
I must hear what I said,
No matter the cost.
The danger you face,
The villain I trounce,
In my embrace,
Like a panther, I pounce.
You stay with me,
And I save you once more,
I wish you could see,
I hold the key to the door.
I understand,
Where others are lost,
I can expand,
And warm the frost.
I kill the killer,
I save the saved,
I raise the pillar,
To free the enslaved.
But all is for naught,
For you can not see,
That all I have fought,
Is for you to be free.
For you to live,
Without shadow of fear,
For me to give,
And stop the spear.
For nothing so holy,
Is blinded as much,
As God’s greatest folly,
Where He has lost touch.
As He sits on his throne,
Love showering down,
He has not grown,
Only polished His crown.
For if He only knew,
The way of the world,
He would subdue,
The feelings I hurled.
And upon my soul,
He would place gentle peace,
And give a toll,
For every caprice.
For every you,
And every me,
For every wind flew,
And every sea.
On my heart’s branding,
He would place a seal,
Of understanding,
For all that I feel.
As my greatest friend,
I need you to know,
I can no longer pretend,
Not to love you so.
But don’t get me wrong,
It isn’t the same,
It doesn’t belong,
On the same aim.
I need to tell you,
So you will see,
My love for you,
Is my love for the sea.
Not as a lover,
Or a girlfriend,
But more than a cover,
A universe to transcend.
I hope you do not,
Feel we are back where we were,
For that is a thought,
That brings me great fear.
If you take this wrong,
I will surely die,
Stabbed by a prong,
Lifted up to the sky.
For this love is different,
Like of a sister or fame,
Something so bent,
Is never the same.
Why I Love You
By: The Dragon
I love you,
How could I not,
I feel your beauty,
Like the treasure I’ve sought.
When I steal a glimpse into your eyes,
I forget about what’s bad,
I forget about life,
I forget to be sad.
I forget about sorrow,
I forget we are here,
I don’t worry about tomorrow,
I don’t worry about fear.
I forget about knowing,
I forget where we are,
I don’t worry about flowing,
I don’t care how far.
I forget about love,
I forget about hate,
I don’t need a shove,
I don’t need to be great.
I forget about nothing,
I forget about all,
You don’t need to worry,
I won’t let you fall.
I won’t let you be angry,
I won’t let you try,
Because anger is evil,
And it will make you cry.
I hope one day to see you,
In a state close to tears,
So I can be there,
To help soothe your fears.
And I can protect you,
With a gentle bouquet,
And while you are blue,
I shall softly say,
“You must cry,
From bad experiences you’ve had,
Or else they’ll consume you,
And make you mournfully sad.”
You have a beauty,
Indescribable to me,
A soul so deep,
It rivals the sea.
I wish I could tell you,
The expanse of my love,
But I am askew,
With no idea what to speak of.
I could tell you,
That you are my greatest desire,
How my love burns inside me,
Like a great roaring fire.
I could try to detail,
How badly I want you,
But would only fail,
For the length of my queue.
I could explain,
That I cherish our time,
And without you, I pain,
And when I’m with you, bells chime.
I could tell you of these comparisons,
But it would all be for naught,
For they couldn’t begin to tell,
Of the feelings I’ve fought.
So in the midst of this madness,
I try to avoid sinking,
As I can’t help thinking,
That when I look in your eyes I know…
I forget about fighting,
I forget about war,
You have the power,
To make my soul soar.
