The Muse
The writer sulks the streets looking for a muse to help him think of a story. He looks from face to face until he sees sunlight glisten off beautiful raven black hair that matches an even more beautiful face that has some dirt on it. He slowly walks up to her and inquires her name; they begin to speak for a long time. She has no home or family, He invites her to his home which she gladly accepts. They arrive to his home and he begins to write. He writes a poem at first of her beauty. She reads and blushes, He then asks to walk with him. She again accepts his invite they walk slow and talk of romance and love. Of family and friends, of money and home. They love each other and know it. He stares at her day by day. It’s been a year and poems later he announces his love for her and she admits hers. 5 books later they have a child and live happily with each other.
Dead Boy’s Poem
The living boy dream was to play and walk, he reads of a fantasy world that exists only in his dreams. He lays his head down rejoining him to the world where everything for him goes well. He read of a white horse, He’s always wanted a white horse of his own. He looks out the window seeing the children playing games and riding horses. He lays his head down ever dreaming ever hoping he will get well from a sickness he did not wish for. Everyone but him has it so why can’t he go outside and play, He now can in his for ever lasting dream he will be able to go and play with his family and friends. For the sickness does let the dreamer dream forever.
Ocean Star
A sea Nymph looks up to the sky seeing a beautiful bright world that ever changes she chases after ships that come sailing by her island hoping to be able to get on it. It is another day and night she looks up towards the sky seeing the stars shining bright. She lets out a deep sigh being stuck on this island being cursed by a god. She was seen and given piety by another god, thats when she sees a star come down into the sea. It hits a ship that is sailing past her island she knows no one survives but she still goes and searches seeing a young man trying his best to stay above. She swims to him and takes him back to her island she breaths life into him. He opens his eyes and smiles she rubs his head they fell in love instantly and they lived fruitfully
The Young Sun
The young child stares up at the clouds counting and thinking of shades of each one. He giggles and laughs as he watches them pass by slowly. He goes back to reading his fantasy story thinking of the battles thinking of the battles between men and gods of men and dragons and other things. He is happy and bright and shouts to his mother who is on a bench watching him. He gets up and they walk home slowly. He rests his head when he gets home dreaming yet again.
I am already there
I am already there next to you
Seeing and watching every
Movement you make slowly correcting
Every mistake you have made
I will be there for you day in and day out
I will be there for you since you were born
I changed your clothes I watched you grow
I fed you your first food; I gave you your first lecture
I watched you grow from a baby to a grown adult
I seen you get married; I was next to you the whole
Aisle, I was in the delivery room when you had your son
You did not see me but I was there because I promised you
I would always be with you no
Matter what happened to me
And I plan on keeping that promise
Even if it means I stay out of heaven for a tiny bit more
I want to be next to you.
The Final Promise
The shells fall landing around us
We were so close we were smiling and running
Not a year ago, we were happy where we were
We joined the army to defend our families
We were sent out to the war and we hid in
The bunkers together, we made a pact
To tell each other’s family if we did not make it
Out of this war, we would take care of both
Families. We wrote to them everyday sending
Them promises we would make it back. Then a
Year later we were trapped in the hole. We made
A fight for it and bullets flew all around us hitting
Rock and dirt. That is when I heard you scream and I
Looked to see you falling down to your knees raising a
Hand to the sky saying your family’s names. You then
Looked at me and smiled I grabbed you and held you in
My hands crying my eyes out. I cried over your body
I cared not what happened around me. That is when I heard
A voice. I knew it was you, you said remember the promise.
I picked up my gun and I walked back holding you in my arms
Crying. I took a boat home and we had you buried and to this day
I remember everything we did together since we were born. You were
My twin. And I took care of both families keeping that promise not cause
You were my twin not because you were my blood but because I loved you
Like you were my own son and my own family.
