The deepness of the sea,
Lies stretched before me.
Sapphire blue and emerald green,
It all looks the same,
...
We don't see the fruits of time,
They stand tall and proud,
Unaware of their gradual shroud,
The gardener's trusty spade.
...
The seats drip with blood,
The last footsteps of the departed echo,
The smoke clears,
What is left but death?
...
All roses are,
Mild and sweet,
All through winter rain and sleet,
And though they never shed a single tear,
...
They roam about the darkened plains,
They whistle through the trees all day.
As their eternal damnation comes to pass,
Their souls drain like through broken glass.

I am 16 years old, and live in Australia. I am addicted to poetry, but it has to be old - Tennyson and Coleridge are my favourite Poets. The Highwayman is my favourite poem in the entire universe. I am growing up to be a master ninja and a crazy cat lady. (I already have nine cats!) Jane Austen is my favourite author, and I love Pride & Prejudice to death. I like words that flow smoothly, and then stop randomly, creating tension in the work, like music that rolls off the tongue.)
Emerald's Sea
The deepness of the sea,
Lies stretched before me.
Sapphire blue and emerald green,
It all looks the same,
A deep and glistening gem.
