POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm far from being the best poet, but every poem of mine was written from my heart. They're all precious to me, and I hope that you'll enjoy reading them.
Things I'll Never Say

Her soul was once a radiant fire
But now nearly all her flames have turned to ember
Her head-strong approach was something I’ve always admired
Yet now it seems like she has surrendered…
To despair and anxiety after five gruesome years
I watch on helplessly as I don’t know what to do
How can I assure her that there’s nothing to fear?
Whenever she asks me what our future holds, I haven’t got a clue
There are moments where I see determination in her worn eyes
But those days are rarer and rarer
Many days all I want to do is cry

Ode of Agax Seucai
The continent of Agax Seucai is shrouded in fear
Even more so than the raiding of Pemilnir
A once metropolitan city to the east of the Karmar mountains
But all that’s left are wreckage and skeletons
Don’t be fooled by the beautiful landscape of Mardearo
It’s just as dangerous as its equally-named capital
Frass, its northern neighbor, is mostly barren
Yet its capital, Jentitorc, is filled with the eerie laughter of children
The people of Sastattia struggle to survive
As they’re surrounded by wastelands and mercenaries on either side
To the...

Ode of Vomera
Who are we and what is our place?
Are we the only living creatures in the darkness of space?
The evening sky is painted with numerous stars
Vainly we look up at them as if they know who we are.
Vomera is our beautiful home
With the vast and harsh tundra of Ascremaux
And the Vicious Mountains of Chardigue
If you don’t die from the cold, you will of the waters of Chardigue.
Poor Mazoche lies forgotten in the corner
Where the terrible winds and powerful waves can make any drunk man sober
The Vicious Mountains continue through Moesplia...

Golden Moon
For centuries, Ithiliel has been content to stare out at the vast sea. Nowadays, her attention has been focused solely eastward.”
Cirdan gave his wife a knowing look. “Our daughter’s heart has been taken. She has turned her gaze from the sea in hopes of a glance of her beloved’s return. Yet, it has been more than five years.”
The lord’s wife glanced at him worriedly. “Will Lord Glorfindel ever return? The Valar have sent him back to Middle Earth to protect Lord Elrond and his family. Despite his duty, I know that he too reciprocates Ithiliel’s affections.”

Dreamy Tree
I stroll through the forest as I do everyday
Admiring the vibrant colors as Spring arrives
I sit down at my favorite spot underneath the shade
And watch the entire forest sparkle under the sunlight.
The birds chirp to their hearts content
And the deer feed on the grass calmly
This beautiful space seems to be under an enchantment
The absolute peace has my eyes drooping.
Suddenly my eyes snap open as the wind picks up
The sounds of nature have abruptly gone mute
As soon as I reach the next line of trees, the wind comes to an abrupt… ...

Tunnel Vision
In a forest during dusk
An intensely bright light had struck
Over a large lake where drinking animals had fled
Than it abruptly disappeared; had I imagined it all in my head?
From my position on top of a cliff overlooking the lake
I pulled out my binoculars, and I didn’t know what to make
Of what I saw; it was strange
A group of figures in the middle of an exchange
Yet one group was shorter than I’d have envisioned
As if my line of sight was through tunnel vision
I adjusted my binoculars, and what I saw blew me away
Strange, humanoid...

Milk & Water [A Toast] + A Dalliance before Dawn (Co-written with SeaEntity1)
Part 1: Milk & Water
This powerful force that binds us together
Has existed since the beginning, and shall continue on forever
384,400km separate the two of us
Yet your ocean kingdoms most always adjust…
To my dominant force of gravity
Wanting to lift your waves up into infinity
Yet despite those majestic waves hoping to reach the sky
They are destined to fall; not meant to fly.
High above I shine my light
And with a cry, the seagull takes off in flight
I hold influence over you, even more so than the sun!...

Words
Words form in my head
Imagination runs deep
Put pen to paper.
Words stain my journal
As I write my heart's content
I can't stop writing.
It's part of my soul
It lifts me above the clouds
Sky is my limit.

The Snake's Tears
Victory is yours, son of Reyes
Blessed are you with abilities during this phase
The Raven's Curse has been put to rest
A reward earned by your best
The search is not yet over, however
For there are 3 more amulets to recover
The journey will take you to the sea
Where a village echoes a common plea
Joy and pleasure have been sucked from each soul
Only to be returned by payment to the one in control
This entity is different than the rest
It will place your will and determination to the test
It is a simple task if you prepare...

The Raven's Curse
The son of Reyes has returned
Listen closely to the vital task you have earned
Ever since you were a child, all you have known was pain
Yet a gift you were not aware of has been gained
A priceless gift; a blood-linked secret kept hidden
Be wise; do not misuse what you have been given
An evil lurks among your land
Something far superior than any common man
A sadist entity that feeds on pain
It is an abomination that must be contained
Use caution; it is very cunning
Be prepared, son of Reyes; the evil is coming
Fortune is...

Eye of the Storm
Verse 1
‘Hush’ goes the wind, blowing out all sound
Just like a tornado, the dust spins around and around
Even in the eye of danger, you still hold your ground
Showing no emotion, aside from a harsh frown.
Mother Nature is not a force to be reckoned with
The coming of Armageddon is a matter of time, not ‘if’
Most would view the scriptures as a laughable myth
Mother Nature will show you all; she’s stronger than she’s ever been.
Chorus 1
You’re struck in the eye of the storm
Your limbs are freezing over, yet your blood’s still...

Skin Deep
Beauty is skin deep
What matters is my soul's pure
The right one will come.
My heart beats for you
Flushing my skin a deep pink
Your touch ignites me.
I vow to be true
Put myself first before you
The rest will come soon.
Beauty is skin deep
I learned that lesson years past
I'll never forget.
What matters is my soul's pure
The right one will come.
My heart beats for you
Flushing my skin a deep pink

I vow to be true

The rest will come soon.

I learned that lesson years past
I'll never forget.
