Jewels, gold and gems, oh what strength they posses,
Yet only to greed and illusions of avarice must they confess,
They can mend broken hearts, though only so little,
As to procure a pardon from their lover; unjustified acquittal,
...
Nature, thy double-edged sword,
The serene and peaceful hallowed fjord,
Teeming with life and everlasting light,
That lasts well into the dark of night,
...
Scales luminous and talons sharpened,
The dragon's vicious roars disheartened,
Courageous knights and true-shot archers alike,
Staring at the beast with unkempt spite,
...
Thy monstrous beast flew faster with wings afire,
Settling on smouldering perches forever higher,
Soon it hovers high enough to overlook the earth,
Under which lies humanity in its wasteful girth,
...
Here in nature I sit in thought,
Past experiences compared to naught,
Beautiful leaves, frail and guilded,
Like memories, oh loved and wilted,
...
Steady thy blade with haste,
Death marches not at low pace,
The hour of ravens draw near,
Dark moments quickening appear,
...
A life of freedom,
Joy of a sound mind,
Innocent by action,
Damned by the find,
...
Death, I beg you come,
Pain I cannot bare,
Emotionless and numb,
This mask I wear,
...
Natures unrivaled beauty abounds,
Sounds of soothing birds call,
Echoes rarely heard around,
Resound in the emerald hall.
...
Eyes that cannot see,
Hear the pain of our mother,
Smiles that may deceive,
Our brotherhood to one another.
...
Inner turmoil rages,
Blood starts to boil,
Our souls trapped in cages,
Bound by a false royal.
...
After all I have done,
The moments that came,
Now you should run,
A beast you can’t tame.
...
Purest in the rough,
A precious sight,
Joining two into one,
Encasing loves promises.
...
Rain pours hard,
A million empty drops,
The memories in seeds,
Which bloom to crops.
...
Flowers in spring blossom,
Bright petals smile at the sun,
Cold crisp air of Autumn,
The beauty returns to none.
...
Name is Anthony,19, and loving life. I recently found out I can write some amazing things and have started writing poems and such.... testing myself with what I can do. I love feedback on everything I write, so please go ahead.)
Avarice
Jewels, gold and gems, oh what strength they posses,
Yet only to greed and illusions of avarice must they confess,
They can mend broken hearts, though only so little,
As to procure a pardon from their lover; unjustified acquittal,
Money may buy momentary forgiveness to a wrong,
In the end, only loves turning tides may absolve fault for long,
Strive for a balance of wealth and love in life,
Otherwise out of your back may be protruding a knife.
