Our Hymn

 

 

It was the most beautiful time in the world

We grew up in a small town

We were so young and bold

We never did what was told

 

We found our path in this story

We were the hero in our own world

And we did what we had to do

To survive all these hardships

 

It’s like a piano play

Delicate and strong

We both made our own hymns

The hymns of our souls

 

Merged as one

How could they tell us it was wrong

We stood up against them

Love is pure love is strong

 

And so we found our own way

A path far from the light

But as long as we had each other

We were able to survive the cold nights

 

We were just teenagers

And so we could not oppose the inevitable

We were ripped apart

You were no longer aloud in my heart

 

When I look back on those times

It was the only time I felt truly alive

I still remember the touch of your lips

And the feeling of your skin

 

A Story From Yesterday

Nothing more than a dim memory

Which was allowed to stay

In my souls chamber

The place of our hymn

The place of our love

Rings are Peace, Love is War

This is a tale told from generation to generation

As if it was a story from yesterday, full of curiosity and infatuation

Of a couple who sat on a throne

Tied together by gold

Their lands full of insanity and anger

Full of red from blood and danger

Begging to be freed from the grief life would bring

All solved by a tiny ring

 

Marriage is the answer to a gory war

And what was the past will be ignored

A romance is expected to be built from lies that have been told

Throwing in the perfect fold

Though they may never learn to love, they can learn to like

May they learn before they strike

 

This couple may seem unaware of their life at first

A royals blood having been cursed

A ceremony that will bring peace to the nation

Even with their doubt and hesitation

Somehow they’ll learn to tolerate the presence of another

Instead of letting the people suffer

 

True love will never be an option for the two on the throne

For their hearts belong to someone else to own

That doesn’t mean a friendship can’t blossom

They both know it’s an unspoken promise

To pretend to play the perfect couple

And with another love they will smuggle

 

The man is in love with one of the same gender

This man he will love forever

People may frown and look away, acting as if it shameful

Even so, for this love he will remain faithful

His wife opens up her heart to allow this man into his

This secretive romance will be sealed with a kiss

 

The woman has found a farmer boy to adore

At first glance is what she fell for

He was working hard with the biggest smile

Within that moment she could imagine them walking down the aisle

Though her status demands a higher position

This bride could care less for tradition

 

The two birds of a feather show the public their love

A friendship will only ever be enough

To be happy is to follow a path

Even when you face the wrath

Of people, gods, or even family you should trust

What you may be doing will never be unjust

 

Love may bring the blood at your feet

It is better than feeling incomplete

War may start and rise again

If you don’t know how to pretend

But before they find you, you must get away

However, that is a story for another day

 

 

Aw man. I haven't done poetry in quite awhile. I need to brush up on my skills again. Oops.

Move on

 

Remember the story you told me?

A story of sadness

A story of struggle

A story from yesterday

That still makes me think

 

It already happened

It can't be rewritten

This story of a little child

Abandoned by everyone

 

A brave young child he was

The kid in this story

How helpful and kind he was

No wonder they broke him

 

They left invisible scars

Scars that this kid will never forget

But that doesn't mean he can't move on

He just has to stop to regret

 

You told me he's still sad

That he'll probably never forget

That he wished to have done something else

That he still can't go on because he regrets

 

But let me tell you how I feel about it:

 

It's already the end of the chapter

But I feel like the story will go on

Your story from yesterday...

You just have to move on

The music has stopped

But we're still dancing

You've got this smile

That makes my heart melt

 

I don't know why I felt this way

I wanted you to know I don't want this

It's better to hide the feelings

That will put an end

 

I'm very sorry for liking you

I'm very sorry for loving you

So please, don't hate me

Please, trust me

Hold my hand and look into my eyes

In that way I would know

There's still a string between you and me.

 

I know from the start I am different

Don't blame me for realizing at this moment

I know it would be too hard for you

I'll stay silent

Don't ask me what's wrong

This is the only thing I can do

Just dance to the music playing on your ear

It's your own

 

I'm very sorry for liking you

I'm very sorry for loving you

So please, don't hate me

Please, trust me

Hold my hand and look into my eyes

In that way I would know

There's still a string between you and me.

 

At the end I have to let go

My friend

Everything will become a story from yesterday.

THE FAERIE CIRCLE

 

Once i chanced upon a hollow

In the woods

A forgotten Grotto

Ever-Twining fauna concealed it

Flames of curiosity

In my heart, were lit

There was a circle, in its center a Tree

Aged and mystical

Surely, it called to me

The circle, was of stones that glimmered

Pulsing with colour

In the sunlight they shimmered

 

The radiant beauty, a spell on me cast

Pulling me closer

As my heart beat fast

Then, slowly it reached my ears

A soft melody

Void of any earthly fears

Louder now, my soul with pleasure it fills

When suddenly appeared

A host, of golden daffodils

But a closer look, stunned me to the core

Brought memories flashing

Tales of childhood, timeless folklore

 

For before my very eyes lay a sight to behold

Hidden among flowers

Fairies, pixies, in colours bold

Gracefully they fluttered, gently they float

As they swayed

In tune with every note

Humanly, like you and i, but ever so small

Such delicate beauty

That of spring and fall

As i stood and stared in wonder,

Upon seeing me

they smiled, beckoning me yonder

 

No fear or hostility, did i sense from them

Only joyful welcome

From all around me stem

And as they twirled around me, i

Found myself entranced

The music, an enthralling high

Like a warm embrace, it enveloped me

Draining all worries

Making all my sadness flee

Till i too found myself dancing, merry

Spinning and twirling

Along with the fluttering faerie

 

Oh how i danced and danced

Unaware of time

Nothing mattered, as i pranced

The faerie’s words, sounding like wind chimes

Sooth my ears

As they giggled and rhymed

Whistl i swayed a faerie, wings blue streaked

Came and placed

A gentle kiss on my cheek

A fleeting sensation, like a butterfly's kiss

Came and went

One i knew, i'd always miss

 

Yet more i twirled, never once hesitating

Drunk on music

Till my vision started fading

And as i fell into dark oblivion i heard

A final whisper

“Goodbye”

a singular echoing word

Later on, i came to with a start

A warm bed

Peculiar loneliness in my heart

Had it all been a dream i wondered

One so real

All my thoughts it plundered

 

Then i saw it, bright pink, a small work of art

In my reflection

On my cheek, a heart

And i realised, i had been but a lout

My peculiar dream

Was real without a doubt

For beyond my house, in the woods that follow

Lies unearthly magic,

A forgotten grotto

Destiny

 

 

The minutes pass us by and we keep quiet staring at the window seeing the rain fall.

The earth absorbs the droplets with a thirst of ancient times.

It’s a miracle the heavens pour down on us like that, water at last.

 

This destiny was foretold, we didn't stop to listen.

Now we are reaping the consequences, a tale as old as time.

This is a story from yesterday that we grew up with.

 

Forgiveness and letting go can lead our actions to an effect, a positive effect.

Always remember that there are consequences for everything in life.

A Chronicle of death, life and rebirth, such was the case of love.

 

It is not surprising that we are taking awhile to get it right.

The oceans absorbed our sorrow simmering down our hope.

Our dreams will ascend and will rain down on earth making it grow again.

Hope itself will bring us happiness, such is the case of love.

Don't

 

It felt like a story from yesterday,

with all those tears that were shed from day to day,

during those long five years,

I was never swayed.

 

Not once.

 

I was doing fine, as so it begins.

This is why I gotta apologize,

because I now recognize,

that without all of these lies..

 

I was never really fine.

 

You should have been drowning all on your own,

and it should have shown,

that it was one hell of a ride,

up to the very end for you to cry,

 

On the inside.
