Too much romantic literature for alex!

Show off your art.
A pop-up book of flowers from grade 4 are driving her insane...

Too much romantic literature for alex!

I wrote a ballade royal!
(i'm ridiculous)

Ode To The Phoenix

I often dare to wonder what to make
Of countless hours spent in silent thought.
The foolish wind makes noise for noise’s sake,
Howling through trees but saying naught
Of help in finding what I long have sought;
Of Love’s immortal pain and falt’ring grace --
A fallen angel, landing on her face.

But O, to see the one for whom I long
As once again the air inflates her chest;
A final gasping breath of broken song,
A moment’s gift before that timeless rest
That steals the only thing that’s ever blessed
This wretched life of mine with happy light --
Once gray, now starkly cast in black and white.

I watched your ashy limbs disintegrate
Into a darkened heap. The golden key
Is born anon in arms of holy fate.
Awaken, fiery eyes, that you may see!
And loose the bonds of soil, and set thee free.
Shalt rise again from earth’s revolving trap,
And join the choir in the thunderclap.

My soul yet aches for freedom from its pen:
Fair Muse, delay your necessary flight
And lay with me ‘til I am well again;
My wings are bent and waning in their might.
How covetous am I of such a height,
The like of which is rivalled by the length
Of time I’ve spent confounded by your strength.

oh wow, that's beautiful.

it sounds like something that should've been in the lord of the rings.

if you've read those books, you'll know that's a compliment.

well, if you haven't read them, you'll know it's a compliment anyway because i just told you.

slightly? :GASP:


Speaking of Romantic Lit, I was all proud of myself for memorizing parts of Keats' "To a Mockingbird" for my lit exam. But then I didn't even get to use it. Bastard. *shakes fist*

I have to say, I'm fairly impressed. But then again, someone eating 52 hot dogs impresses me. THAT'S A LOT OF HOT DOGS.

That is one fine piece of writing.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Well they ARE both displays of talent and art.
