Hey, this is a poem that I have thought up...to...well, get more attention to my current fanfic, The Coast. The main character in it has written a poem, thought not the poetic type (or so he claims). Ideals for his recent experiences.

Seldom is my waking thought
Through knife and gold my soul is bought

To heed the weary, rest the shaken
My head is heavy, my eyes, forsaken

In a secular wedding of web and throne
Of riddled faces, of tandem bone

This weary homestead in the mist
The tree, though dead, as alive as the Hist

Anchoring in a pool of souls
Meddled ashes, lies untold

Embrace the keys, forgive the tomb
Find grievance in the wooded womb

The sun is chasing through the treetops
And the nymphs are turning with tumbles and hops

Green and brown pain the serenity
And I wonder; will the soil here remember me

But no, for lo, and high as a tower
It holds the beacon, the lustful power

A woman nor not, a man yet thought
In tidal and stream, ebb and muscle rot

A vulture to infinity, a criminal to the sane
She hast the lips of an angel, yet holds not a name

A crown of shadowed scarabs, a cobra in her eyes
Her left hand holds divinity, her right is my surmise

Perhaps a hallowed hymn to thee
A bristled path, One-In-Three

What is ours is gone, our memories going dry
Though of what can we say she is, her names held high:

A meddler

So tender
Never hiding
Always fighting
Killing vowels with her tongue
Even though no words are sung

Inept in her sullen gloom
Notorious like an Antler's bloom

Toasts to her chime the night sky
Horrid visions, the SHARMAT will not die
Embrace the keys

So as to forgive the tomb as it seethes
Inert is her loving grasp, as it only could be
Golden and musky is her breath, the only thing free
No err can she bare on her shoulders
Shrieking sirens above us as the earth smolders

Ha, I admire your honesty~!

Now I'm moved to wonder if you write poetry regularly, and if so is there any I can find here since I'm always interested, when characters write something, to put the character's work and the author's work up to the light--side by side--to look for where the author's own style influences how the character writes and where in the work it is clearly the character's voice. Ew. Repetition. I need another word for character, but that make sense?

That said, yes I get the feeling this would make more sense to me if I click that link. But gosh darnit I have to go to school. Will try to remember when I get back.






Liked those lines a lot. Not sure why. Gonna say "pleasing to the ear." Some nice ear candy. Makes me melt~

Oh yeah, for sure, thanks.

I have a LOT of poetry, but few TES-related. Haha. All the good stuff is on my hard drive, personal life-experience stuff.

But hey, just don't forget that The Coast will always be there, so be sure to check it out when you don't have school, or when you get off, or something cool like that.
