Bring Me...

Bring me a happy ending and i will smile for you.
Show me a love story and i will shed tears of joy for you.
Bring me a fairy tale and i will revel and dance with you.
Show me a long lost love found again, and i will rejoice with you.
But bring me a tragedy, show me a story of rejection and hurt,
reveal to me the pain and the agony, and
i will embrace you like a brother and welcome you to the family.

Don't forget forever

"He is no fool who gives something he cannot keep to gain something he cannot lose"

LOVE'S SECRET

EVER seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears.
Ah! she did depart!

Soon after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.

-William Blake

For whenever you write poetry always be prepared to face yourself because when you let the words come to you then you leave a little bit up to fate.

Is the glass half full or half empty?

"Cause pain is better than nothing at all"
-Three Days Grace

Once upon a time i knew a young girl. She was young and happy, and nothing could take that from her. Some bad things would come but nothing could crush her spirit. Then she met a boy, and for a while she was still that same happy person, but then the boy broke her heart, and nothing was the same. She looked at life suspciously and distrusted the things that came her way. Afraid to be broken again she closed her eyes so as not be blinded by the light, but she missed the sunrise and when she was old and tired she realized that it had been a life wasted if you don't look at the sunrise. Sometimes its to bright and sometimes it hurts but then again hurt is better than nothing at all.

The Calm before the storm

he stood there in the music room

but he wasn't there for music

he was nervous, but the smell of flowers gave him comfort

he was early but being prepared made him aware

he was prepared for the worst but hoping for the best

the moment came and the hope was found

then there was something missing

but it wasn't something good that was missing

it wasn't some joy that he had lost rather

it was worry, it was stress

they had all just vanished

Broken

What constitutes broken? When an object no longer functions correctly, and i guess in that sense we were never right i mean ever since we are a fallen species, but maybe since we are in Christ maybe we are sometimes functing correctly but like a computer or tv sometimes just need to be smacked to work right. But then what about the computers that don't respond to that whack or goad, where are they? Just more worse off than when they started.

Wake up and see that the world is fallen and let yourself be broken for humanity and understand that most of the people you see are damned to hell. Maybe then and only then you will know why you are here.

Tragedy?

When asked who i thought was the most popular literary author in the history of mankind was (excluding the Bible) i though about it for a while, and responded Shakespear. Now i think about the amazing works that Shakespear put forth and 3 came to mind. Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Now all three of these works are tragedy's. Stories in which nearly every one of the major charecters die, whether by violence, suicide, old age, murder, or accident almost all of them die. This revealation seems to me to be rather telling about the human condition. That our favorite "reflections of reality" are stories where death, sadness, and suffering are the main ideas behind the stories. Then i thought more about these "tragedy's", and i have come to the conclusion that they are not tragedy's. Rather they are an accurate reflection of reality, in that the greater evil is always defeated, but in the process of A. indentifying the evil, and B. defeating it that some people will be lost. In each one of Shakespear's "tragedy's" a greater evil is defeated. For example, Romeo and Juliet, in the story even though the list of dead is long the underlying problem of the Capulet's and Montegue's feud is ended because of the "tragedy". Hamlet, the issue of succession of the throne is dealt with and the usurper is killed. Macbeth is differant because of the point of view of the story. However the usurper is killed and justice is served. So my question is this. Are ideals and morals more important than the people that die to uphold them? Because if they are then these stories are tragedies but if they are not then these stories are stories of reality, because i promise that good never comes free and to defeat evil a price must be paid.
