Ramblings

Background: I have said before that I get a lot of ideas in the middle of the night. So this is a prose kind of poem that I just wrote once when I woke up. I had my glasses off and it was in the dark so I can barely read my handwriting and I don't know why I wrote it in the first place, so hence the title: Ramblings. I think I actually fell asleep after this. It was a long night since I had to finish tons of homework. It was the day before the end of the semester.

Ah, to drown in the scent of ink

The authors mind to be released from the confines of social and structural law

Stay away from the words that will slowly bend your mind and drive you away from the light of sanity

The place of no return-so it has been dubbed.

A carousel of pain and fear, one that will never end

Round and round it goes, fear, emotion, suffering

And the pain of the endlessness

For it is our duty, no, more, our destiny to record the words of those who have been silenced by fear, destroyed by emotions, and those who have themselves been around the endlessness of wandering

Duty to find those words of the suffering emotions

Bringing out a pen and paper to show the world the TRUTH

The truth you don't believe in because you don't wish to believe

Where We Can Be Free

Background: I started writing this a while back but I had lost the paper and had the edit the first verse since it didn't fit. I think I wrote the first verse during the AYLI-A-Thon and just kind of went with it. It does follow a scheme, reason why the first verse didn't fit. I'll still add it here though. Then come the new first verse and the rest of the poem. It can be interpreted in so many ways, but if I say the real reason, it will ruin it.


On a lonesome tower, I stand alone
Seeing the darkness creep upon my home
I wish to fly away from here
To a place where I can be who I am
Away to a place where the gypsies roam

Come ideas, come away with me
Come now, where we can be free
Our adventure has come and gone
Our life has been so long
Let us stay here at our home
And will never again have to roam

Come Child, come away with me
Come now, where we can be free
You will fly as I could not
You will be all I could not
Let us travel to where-ever we wish to go
And we never ever be trapped again so low

Come lover, come away with me
Come now, where we can be free
We shall marry far away
We will dance here in the May
Let us live the way we wish to
And I will never be apart from you

Come sister, come away with me
Come now, where we can be free
We shall never be taken again
We will never be at the end
Let us run 'tween the rose so red
And we will use the meadows as our bed

My pearl

I've been doing my work day in and day out, I get so tired that my head gets full of doubt.
I work on my homework that is suposed to be "fun", but still I really wish that it would just be done.
I let my mind drift from reality to this beautiful pearl, one that would be the envy of any rich earl.
And if you were to see it from afar, it would defenitly make you think you were gazing at a bright star.
But I would rather give it away to someone I knew, If it ment I could spend more time with the pearl that is you.
