POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi, I'm Elias Wild, and I have just started writing poetry. I love the art, and I feel stronger everyday when i write. I hope you all enjoy!
Pushed Away
At first I thought that we were friends. Now I know I'm expendable. Every time I make a comment. You smack me, hit me, throw me to the ground. I've tried to cope, tried to ignore. But now I know that no matter the cost, you'll keep on pushing, till I can't make a sound. I'm not your friend, merely an acquaintance. Lie on your life, maybe I'll get clearance. I'll stay behind, stuck on the ground. Crying and whimpering, not making a sound.

This is Hard
This is hard, you not here. I've been here for a few hours, but it feels like years. You not here, so far away. Our hands not touching, I face so much pain. But one day I'll hold you, so close in my arms. I'll protect you, I promise, shield you from harm. But for now, I suffer, my like is a hell. But I'll always stay loyal, my heart I won't sell.

Back at the Start
I'm back at the start again, back at rock bottom. My life is in shambles, my heart is in pain. The beast of my happiness has surely been slain. I sit in my chair, at home, and at school. I think to myself, what can I do? Do I end it all now, take care of the pain? I swear, I swear, I'm going insane. There's nothing to stop my emotional fall. I fall from the pinnacle, so massive, so tall. And now at the bottom, in sadness and dust, I sit here and cower, waiting to rust.

Skyfall Chapter 2
Corlioni sat on the crate, smoking a cigar, as he heard the thunder of the Deployer sound for the last time of the week. "Boss," one of the men surrounding him called, "want us to go check out that last pod?". Corlioni shook him head. He was tired, didn't want to deal with some new guy. The mob had been raiding for weeks now, taking out little pockets of prison gangs. Corlioni threw his cigar down, and walked up the steps of his mansion. He thought about the deal he had cut ten years ago. If he agreed to serve his life in Prison City, him, his men, and property would be...

Lockdown
I'm in lock-down, an emotional wreck. I close up my mind, board up my heart. Sit in a corner,tear myself apart. You can help, temporarily of course. But I can't get out of lock-down, my beating heart the source. I dream of myself walking, down the broken lane. Picking up the pieces of,what i think, I had to my name. I go along the pathway, climbing to the core. To find the shattered crimson orb, my legs tremble, they're sore. the whole chamber goes black, and soon I lift my eyes. I have to go on, I have to survive. For her, for them, for my own sake. I'll escape the lock-down someday, don't...

Skyfall: Chapter 1
12 am. Prison City, 2016. 10 years after the events of Operation Skyfall. Eli sat in his cold containment pod, reflecting. Only 16, Eli had been sentenced to life in prison. Protesting in Aldania was a big deal. The pod was metal, cold, and dark. A little glass window lived in the side of the pod, and outside Eli saw pods 13 and 14 being loaded into the Deployer. His pulse increased at that point. Knowing that his pod was going to be stuffed into that hellish cannon, and launched high over the city scared him half to death. He gulped, and his thoughts fell to Alicia. The girl of his dreams,...

Believe in Me
Every night, I get the lecture. That I'll fail high school, that's your conjecture. That I won't get a job, that I'll live on the streets. But I'll prove you wrong, trust me. I'll get a good job, live in a big house. Have a big family, safe as a mouse. And of course you still doubt me, killing my dreams. Your pushing my limits, breaking the seams. If one day I lose it, I guess you'll know why. There's nothing I can do, just cry, cry,cry. Believe in me please, for once in my life. Better start now, prevent eternal strife.

Watching You
Your eyes like diamond, your hair like silk. Your skin as white as a glass of cold milk. I sit here and watch you, a pen in my mouth.My mind wanders slowly, all the way down south. Your hands wave quickly, excited about the play. I just want to hold you, maybe someday. I love you so much, your heart matches mine. I know someday baby, our arms will entwine.

Summer Day
I walk outside, my hair in a mess. I stand for a moment, remember my address. My mind flashes back, to memories my best. To times when I got butterflies in my chest. The times when I thought I could hold you every day. But now that you've moved, I don't know what to say. I know that I've got you, but I still don't feel right. I can never hold you, neither in day nor in night. I know you will read this, and you may begin to cry. But always know darling, my love is in the sky.

Why?
We sat at the table, our families around. We all were so happy, our feet touched the ground. But then you got up, and walked towards me. I always wondered what the purpose would be. You picked up my plate, turned it round and round. Then suddenly you threw it, smashed on the ground. And now I still wonder why it happened to me. I did nothing wrong, I wish you would see.

Night Man
Night man walks, across the earth slowly. Like Forrest Gump, he just keeps on running. His arms reach wide, his shadow leaps far. But when he visits, those eyes shine like stars.

Black Water
Flowing and bubbling, streams of black water. The elixir of life, the blood of the dragon. Pumping and drilling, the only way to feed. Tearing and mining, curbing our own need. Black smoke billows, black liquid burns. Machines keep on going, the power our nations yearns. Black water, black water, thou sources are rare. But I'm a common boy, why should I care?
