Trees

Growing tall and out of reach
The trees of old are hard to breach
Oak and elm and pine and birch
Upon their limbs birds do perch
Under them upon their roots
I lay upon them eating fruits

What have I done

What have I done
My words have crashed and burned
I don't know why I did that
I don't know what to do
Forever will I regret what I've done
Please forgive my soul

prt 2

You are to me a lovely flower
My love for you is so empowered
I'd cross a mountain to be with you
I pray that day will come true
A day that  we will be together
I'll learn to be all the better

Hope

Like rays of light upon the shy
Hope doth spring upon my eyes
Finding you hath made me glad
To be without you is surely mad
A childs wish, a parents dream
I walk along this timeless stream

Rain

As it falls upon my head
My thoughts themselves are filled with dread
The angels weep for human sorrow
What will they bring on the marrow
Clouds of grey and skies so dark
Upon my soul they leave a mark

The Hunger Games

In The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, we read about a sixteen year old girl named Katniss Everdeen. This sixteen year old girl lives in a post apocalyptic north america in a nation called Panem which is divided into twelve districts. At the Captial, a highly advanced metropolis, the hunger games are help for sport, but in reality it is a bloodbath. The actual games is a battle between twenty-four "tributes", two from each district, who battle to the death. Each tribute is chosen at random, one boy and one girl, but when katniss' sister is chosen. she volunteers in her place. The book is a wonderful novel that I recommend reading. Stephanie Meyer, author of the twilight saga, comments "I was so obsessed with this book...The Hunger Games is amazing". My own experience was I never wanted to put it down, even when I had to go to work. I reluctantly did, but immediately after i got home, i started reading again.

Morning

Waking from this dream filled night
I see upon my eyes a sight
The sun is up, the mist so fine
Upon us looks the god divine
The grass is wet, the birds are singing
I wonder what this day is bringing

Love

Yearning for the love I seek
I dream of the day that we shall meet
To hold your hand and kiss your lips
When I think of you my stomach doth flip
You are the piece my heart is missing
I dream of the day that we shall be kissing

Death

We march through time to our inevitable end
One by one we will cross the bend
We miss those that came before
Our fathers our mothers we all adore
To pass through that gate which we must go
The tears of those left behind ever grow

Time

What to do with the time I have
I dream alone wishing I knew
Time passes ever more
Life goes on and yet still I ponder
Where in this world do I wander
The beat of time continues on
Go to the destiny I wish I knew
To know that soon I will be through

Promises

You tell me promises you never keep
I sit alone until I weep
As I sleep I dream of her
The love you promised i'd meet there
To be alone I realize now
I'll fight back, I will not bow

Alone

Fear grips me at my soul
Alone I have been evermore
Sitting here upon my dream
I watch the time slip on by
Friendships lost or never gained
I wish to change my past again
To be alone I do regret
Ever more I do forget
