THE FORSAKEN PROPHECY!

Battle cry, distant songs of war

Clinging axes with one accord

9 feet giants, in iron amour

Colored teeth like piano keys

Brutish anger in every breath

Rallying after the master warlord

We're at war! We're at war!

All that echoes in human minds,

When they stump their huge feet

Against the dry earth beneath

Men are no longer men

Women and children, insignificant 

Alas! Fear has gripped us all

The scavengers have sensed it

An impending bumper harvest

They fill the skies in their numbers

Flying around in wait

For the separation of soul from body

The carcass of them too weak

Perhaps strong enough to embrace death

The end has beckoned

While we still slumber

A prophecy taken for granted

We should have listened!

Enslaved by arrogance

Soaked in insolence

We should have heeded!

Flee! Said, the revelation

Yet haughty as we were

We chose to stay and fight

Bravery or foolishness?

Well, the giants have come

And we are no better prepared

Drunken from hard liquor 

Our death has come

The Holy Books are fulfilled!

TONIGHT!

 

Hand me that bouquet 

For I found the special someone 

Tonight will be good

A red dress will be cool

Tonight she's giving it all out

To one solely deserving

It will be such a night

It will be worth the wait 

"He loves none but me

A prince made just for me

He made the glow on my cheeks

He made the smile on ma face

He might not like flowers

But this bouquet is for him

It's more than just flowers

A token of my appreciation"

Knock knock on his door

Surprise! Prince Charming

And there he lay on his bed

With another lady in his bosom 

Her hands turned feeble

Too weak to hold the flowers 

She still wore her smile

Yet to come to terms with reality

They were both asleep

Her presence wasn't noticed 

And so she left a note

"Tonight was meant for us"

Her heels couldn't hold her

She walked home bare footed

And straight to the shower

With her pretty red dress

It was such a night 

The longest night of her life

Her longest night in the shower

Laughing with tears on her cheeks!

MASK OF SMILES

The crescent shape between her lips

Far extending into her cheeks

The golden glow in her eyes

Perfect portrait of a smile

She goes nowhere without this mask

Natural mask of perfect beauty

When your eyes do behold,

Her mask of smiles will warm your heart

You cannot help but look twice

Conspicuously white glittering teeth 

Yet it's true as they say,

All that glitters is not Gold

Her smile is all the world sees

But the wise might have noticed

Noticed why I call it a mask

Her treasured mask of smiles

Beneath this mask, thoughts can't fetch

A perpetually bleeding soul

A brutishly bruised spirit

A dungeon of wailings

A girl's life like a castle

A forbidden castle 

In a desolate city 

Within the valley of darkness

For what she has seen

What she has heard

And what's been meted upon her

Our shallow minds cannot fathom

Yet she smiles

Everyday her mask heals

Heals not only her

It heals the world!

THE VALENTINE NOTE

The walls still bleed
The walls of the prison
The prison that kept St. Valentine
From whence he wrote his note
To the daughter of Asterius
The note that birthed the quote
'......From your Valentine'

The hearts still bleed
The hearts of the men
The men who witnessed the martyrdom
Of one who died for love
Who suffered of the tyranny
The tyranny of Emperor Claudius II

The name has lived on
O! Sweet Saint Valentine
Roman Priest of Whitefriars street
May we have a heart like yours
To preach love from dungeons

And so, to you, my love
Yeah! You, who read this note
May your heart never frail,
And for a second ponder
That I will be here only in good times

May bad times never come
But when they do
You have my word
This love will never fade

From, the bleeding walls
Of the Emperor's dungeons
I write these words
......from your Valentine!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. RICHARD TIA II

Here we wake again
To a day of no disdain
Here we come again
With joy and bliss to gain

If the clock had her way
Her hands won't strike away
An end may never befall this day
Everyday might be today

Defying the mechanics of Quantum
The power love yields over a Magnum
The few who fathom these two lines
Gather here in body, soul and minds

And so with one accord we sing
Of the great tidings birthdays bring
Praying and wishing you a longer life
Devoid of all discord and strife

Words may not be enough
Yet! Tis our gift from birth
Served to us on a silver platter
To serve the world on a golden platter

Here we come, NASA
With your long awaited answer
We'll deal with that another day
But for now, its Tia's birthday!
