Poems From Me

Poem 1

Eden for naught

Search not for Eden my brothers,
Search not for Shangri-La.
For they are hidden from our sight,
As sinners look to Ra.

Instead fulfill your lives,
And at the end of those,
Look out at the country side,
For simple Thanatos.

He'll take you by the hand,
And lead you to your fate,
Be it heaven, hell or in between,
He never makes mistakes.

So stall your search for Paradise
Gamble not your soul,
For, tomorrow, all will be reviled,
And together, we'll be whole.

I'm sorry if it's short and if it's confusing. I'll gladly explain anything that needs to be.

Goody goody another.

Olympus Is Lost-Part 1: Prometheus

"And from the ashes of Olympus
Whose ruin was dire,
Rose mighty Prometheus
The Titan of fire.

Where ever he steps,
fields light ablaze,
And with a wave of his hand,
Night turns to day,
In an exploding glory,
of Promethean flame.

And so he set out,
To free his brothers,
Who were hidden in prisons,
Inside of his mother.

But he had to move quickly,
Lest the god's see,
That he destroyed Olympus,
In order to be free,
From his chains of torment,
and Eagle's sharp beak.

once again, if you have trouble understanding it, I'll gladly explain.

This is the first in an on-going series.

Oooh, Classical studies references. I love Classics. :3 I like how you have a theme to your poems, it's like you're telling a story. I've personally had trouble doing that myself. My writing goes.. all over the place. So yes, good work, mate. c:

Thanks! and now I have another piece.

Olympus is Lost-Part 2: Transformation.

So Prometheus walked,
Like any giant does,
And the villagers gawked,
To see what he was.

And how did this come to pass,
A flaming beast from a man?

Prometheus had escaped
From eagle's beak and torment,
And then began his mountainous decent,
To Olympus's golden gates.

In order to go to earth,
he had to give his form,
And be reborn
Within a fiery shell.

And so Olympus was destroyed,
Inside a blazing inferno.

Prometheus continued onward,
O'er mountains and through fields,
And did not stop going forward,
Till Typhon's prison did yield.

New piece

Olympus is Lost-Part 3: Cerberus

And they did watch,
Those Olympian gods,
From Hades's dark latch,
As Prometheus continued on.

And Zeus did turn to his brother and say,

"Hades, my brother,
My friend come near,
I have a request like no other,
One that you must hear.

I request that Cerberus,
that earthreal hound,
That guardian of your dark gates,
Be released from his chains,
to do our bidding again,
And to stop the Promethean ape."

and hades did ponder this request and say,

"Release the hound,
From chains and collar,
So it may search above ground,
And search for the Titan,
So the day might lighten,
And your home, you again, must rebuild."

And so it was settled.

Cerberus was loosed,
On the world above,
Going about it's duty,
And it's duty, it did love.

It tracked the giant,
From Olympus to Athens,
Where forests were burnt,
And houses left ashen.

It went north
To the mountains,
When it saw a sight,
that made it hard to remain.

A trail of fire leading to the mountains,
Where the second Titan was already awake.

Ta-Da!!!!

Numbah 4

Olympus is Lost-Part 4: Typhon

Typhon, the Titan of Wind,
The youngest son of Gaea,
the many headed serpent,
Abomination of Rhea.

He raised his head,
Sunlight glimmering,
He tested his strength,
Sunlight shimmering.

"Freedom," he said
"Is what I have lusted for,
Waiting many long years,
for an open door."

"And what have we here?
the hound of Hades has come near,
To be hunted like a deer,
Oh, my brother, you plan is clear."

So Typhon sent a jarring gust,
At might Cerberus,
Who, while recovering, was devoured,
In a single headlong thrust.

And Typhon caught up with his brother,
So, together, they may find,
Atlas and his prison,
Suspended within time.

I don't have any other way of showing people how I see things or what I see, so here goes nothin.

My Mind.

When I close my eyes
What do I see?
An endless darkness
swallowing me.

It's peaceful at first
falling down,
But that was at first,
then came the sound.

It quietly came
with no warning or sign
just a whisper at first
the passing of time

But it became louder
til i couldn't hear
So unbearably loud
I cover my ears

They're screaming at me!
I don't know who
They're very angry
angry at you!

I spoke to you
in whispered tones
so no one could hear
i hope know one knows.

I spoke of my dreams
and what they meant
I spoke of the faces
and of my end.

you laughed at me
said I was lying
You got up and left
And now I am dying.

Dying to know
who are they?
why me?
why today?

They laugh like you did
saying that you are a problem
They say you have to die
and I don't blame them.

I see their point
their heartless ache
I take their hand
and then I awake.

But it is not me
When I rise
It's them
and through their eyes I spy

Seven Shadows
of all size
"Step into the light" I call
Much to my surprise.

I see seven demons
creatures from hell
they advance towards me
Like a storm wave swells

Then I cry
"this is the end"
"Nay," they say
"We have yet to begin"

when they grab me
i cannot see
but I can feel them
their hands, and claws, and teeth.

When i suddenly hear
"Josh! Time to wake up!!"
I open my eyes.
It has only just begun.
