POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The sack of Rome
It was not built in a day
However it fell in a night
Burned in a display
To show off their might
Through years of internal destruction
Ita walls fell onto the soil
Years of political corruption
Had left Rome in turmoil
If there was something to learn
From a once proud city, burned to ash
Its showing too little concern
Will only cause a gash
Dont over reach
And dont fall victim to scandals
Or it's your wall they will breach
Those damn vandals
However it fell in a night
Burned in a display
To show off their might
Through years of internal destruction
Ita walls fell onto the soil
Years of political corruption
Had left Rome in turmoil
If there was something to learn
From a once proud city, burned to ash
Its showing too little concern
Will only cause a gash
Dont over reach
And dont fall victim to scandals
Or it's your wall they will breach
Those damn vandals

My flower
Your beauty is much like a flower
Vibrant, delicate, a work of art
An eternity with you would only feel like an hour
For in the short time we've spent
You have captured my heart
Vibrant, delicate, a work of art
An eternity with you would only feel like an hour

Death poems
I will only visit this world but once
Therefore
If there is any good I can do
Let me know
Before I bid my final adieu
When I am gone
Do not shed a tear
You cannot see me
So you have no clue
I'll always be right there
Beside of you
The tears I weep
The words I speak
Will never bring you back
You may be gone
You may not see dawn
But my love for you will never lack
Therefore
If there is any good I can do
Let me know
Before I bid my final adieu
When I am gone

I'll always be right there
Beside of you
The tears I weep
The words I speak
Will never bring you back
You may be gone
You may not see dawn
But my love for you will never lack

Loves ruins
Some say love is a fire
Although I only know it as ash
Love that once burned so hot and bright
It spent all its energy
Leaving nothing but ruins
Charred memories of the past
Although I only know it as ash
Love that once burned so hot and bright
It spent all its energy
Leaving nothing but ruins
Charred memories of the past

La tua domanda non ha una risposta.
Have I pushed you away?
Were you even wanting to stay?
Where will you go?
Did you believe my intentions to be faux?
Are these the games that you play?
Trying to intentionally lead me astray?
These are secrets that I do not know
Answers, I believe you owe

Prisoners
They starved us
So we refused to eat
They beat us bloody
So we became immune to pain
They scolded us
So we ignored their cries
They showed us hell
So we took our vision as well
They became mad
So we became patient
They tried to break us
So we became stronger
They started killing us
So our souls were finally set free
So we refused to eat

They became mad
So we became patient

So we became stronger
They started killing us
So our souls were finally set free

Inner beauty
Are you brushing your hair?
Are you painting your face?
With whom are you trying to compare?
Underneath that disguise I cannot find your trace
Are you trying to make yourself feel good?
Did someone say that you are not beautiful?
Perhaps you misunderstood
With this disguise that you don it's your true beauty you muffle
Beauty is not solely what is seen
It's about the person you are
It lies somewhere beneath the skin
Not obscured by any mar
Be the person you are in your heart
For that is far more beautiful
Than fitting...

Heart strings
With each spoken word
We slowly stitch our lives together
Gradually learning more about the other
Their Hope's
Dreams
Motivation
Each word exchanged
Threads the needle again
Through the fabric of our being
Turning two to one
The closer it comes to being finished
The more in sync we become

Dreams

Each word exchanged
Threads the needle again

The closer it comes to being finished

Gods plan
For whom ever you pray
May they help guide your soul
Just remember that for however long you stay
Fame and fortune are not your main goals
Your God has stated their rules
Depicting how you should live
Stating not the importance of jewels
But the amount of yourself that you give
For it is in us that he remains alive
Walking with us, acting as a guide
He wants for our faith in him to thrive
Living as his servants, by his rules, we abide
Life is not about the name that you bear
But the amount of your...

Conquering your flaws
Share with me your imperfections
They are what make your beauty so immensely unparalleled
Your flaws will serve as an erection
For you to stand upon while your self hatred is swiftly expelled
Whatever heinous thoughts the devils in your head are scheming
We will fight them collectively
Bringing annihilation to your deamons
Winning back your confidence decisively
A team of two is more potent than that of one
For we will serve as each others foundation
Your darkest thoughts you will no longer have to outrun
For with your...

My autobiography
I would be lying if I said I were over you
I would be lying if I claimed you were not still on my mind
It was through your love that my vision was rendered blind
My heart imprisoned
I would be lying if I said you were my first
I would be lying if I said you were my last
It was in your embrace I felt truly blessed
Your image now cursed
I would be lying if I said I didnt want to go back
I would be lying if I said I didnt want move on
It was through your departure that my heart was swiftly broken
Fragments left scattered ...

Holding the pain
Everyone smiles
Just as everyone cries
Days filled with sorrow
Met with days filled by joy
What makes us cry?
What forces us to laugh?
When we cry why do we remain down?
Long after the fact we retain our frown
Why when we laugh does it only last for a while?
Oh how easily we favor pain for a smile
Does laughter hurt more than tears?
Is that why we are usually left with a frown?
Often letting our smiles turn upsidown
When we are in pain
What is it we gain?
Surely it must be something
Otherwise our sorrow would be...
