Most of this is poetry I wrote when I was very young. Some of it not so young. Mainly here so I have a place to look at it and try to make something new.
Bound by many cords
The heart is pulled in five directions
Each rope is held by loved ones
These are important strings
Made of silver, they shine balefully
As the moon's cold light
East, west, south and north
These ties will spin your limbs
The rope made of gold
Is reserved for the beloved
Give it freely, this one will grow back
Give it freely, this one will grow back
Shorter, it is harder to extend
And if severed, it is painful
Even worse to put forth again
Choose its holder carefully
Finally there is line made of diamond
Carbon crystals formed, the rope held by none
This flies to the Divine
Sometimes you cannot see or feel it
Do not doubt its existence
Pull with all your might
Ascend!

Today I saw the sky
Like never seen before
The giant rolling clouds
Like some far off distant shore
The blue vast like the rolling sea
Such a sight was never meant for me
The sands and the seas
Make beautiful harmonies
Sights and sounds--Nature's song
All this beauty was never meant for me
God's beautiful creations
Objects I don't deserve
These beautiful creations
These we must preserve
Like never seen before
The giant rolling clouds
Like some far off distant shore
The blue vast like the rolling sea
Such a sight was never meant for me
The sands and the seas
Make beautiful harmonies
Sights and sounds--Nature's song
All this beauty was never meant for me
God's beautiful creations
Objects I don't deserve
These beautiful creations
These we must preserve

She walks in the night
Beauty her right
Tiger's eyes
Much like fire
To the left
To the right
Something in sight
In harmony of the night
Sparks fly
Tongues lie
Eyes flash
Lives crash
Deception her name
The lying game
Beauty's impression
Leads to depression
The pit deepens
A child weeping
Beauty her right
Tiger's eyes
Much like fire
To the left
To the right
Something in sight
In harmony of the night
Sparks fly
Tongues lie
Eyes flash
Lives crash
Deception her name
The lying game
Beauty's impression
Leads to depression
The pit deepens
A child weeping

A flaming arrow
Flying
Piercing flesh
Eyes like fire
\Slowly scorched
The fire spreads
Through my soul
Eyes like fire
\Sparked by words
Truth quickly ignites
Yet some will not take it
Eyes like fire
\I look
Surrounded by flames
Darkness
Eyes on fire
Flying
Piercing flesh
Eyes like fire
\Slowly scorched
The fire spreads
Through my soul
Eyes like fire
\Sparked by words
Truth quickly ignites
Yet some will not take it
Eyes like fire
\I look
Surrounded by flames
Darkness
Eyes on fire
