Oh, ancient Greece,
How much you have filled my soul.
The aesthetics of your kind,
Are more than satisfied
...
As I walk down this path,
I see the reflection
Of sky staring back
In radiance.
...
I leave the sorrows of life
In dust behind my heals,
Lost to a frenzy of strife,
Long, long ago.
...
Kitty grins and secret sins
Bottled plans and so hard again
One more hour, one more second
Just to know it will be fine
...
My thoughts haze to here and there
Even a schizophrenic has his days
Although life’s not fair,
But why must my thought leave and not stay?
...
You crawl forth, slithered,
The glare blinds the optics of our mind.
The acid king, hallucinations
Of grandeur, now you know you’re alive.
...
As the sun goes down
We whisper softly to each other
At the time of twilight
Is when we find it the hardest
...
The way you smile,
Leaves me breathless.
Your voice is a choir of angels,
Painted on a canvas,
...
What is time?
But a rotation of the planets,
A love gone to the wind,
Or a setting of the sun?
...
The beauty of lies,
Between you’re eyes.
The song of drugs,
I find in you’re veins…
...
Most days I seek wisdom inside your heart
The heart of liars that cheat from the start
The roses never reach to them as we walk,
On into the night
...
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
All your crashes has left me little much
See through my sight as it bleeds open,
Knowing what is inside, leaves less to cope in
...
It’s the cold way we walk
Down the street, to the world we know.
The useless, and the shallow,
It only goes to show, how we
...
Dark clouds brittle in windy sighs
Fluttery clowns run in and hide
Your eyes radiate like the moonlight
Your face as gorgeous as a wild sigh
...
Inhale deeply, the ocean breeze
The set of dreams it will make
It’s the calmness, that makes us see
The breeze of the sea, which we all seek.

I'm 19 and am in my first year of collage. I love reading, writing, and playing music. Poetry is one of my passions, the others would consist of writing storys, and writing songs. i love to sing for people when i play my guitar, and i know that music is the universal language that can soothe your enemies.)
An Ode To Ancient Greece
Oh, ancient Greece,
How much you have filled my soul.
The aesthetics of your kind,
Are more than satisfied
By your beautiful eyes.
The epics of grace,
Odysseus and Helen’s sublime face.
The war between two cities,
And a tale of returning to beauty.
The dialectic of Socrates trial,
The Christ before Christ on clouds much higher.
The dialogues devoted to supreme justice,
By Plato’s divine universals.
Aristotle’s poetics devoted to the epics,
And particulars brought by the golden ethicals.
Sappho and her poetry,
Herodotus and a tale of histories.
The land of marble devoted to democracy,
The Spartan grandeur and Athenian cultured society.
The Oedipus complex brought to Sophocles.
Vengeful acts by Media for adultery.
I sing joy to all the tragedies,
Aeschylus and the dance of the Eumenides.
The Minoan society and the island of Crete,
Greek culture and so much to keep.
Athena the bright eyed goddess of wisdom,
Came of Zeus, our lord of Jupiter.
Juno and her rivals in the kingdom,
Brought us tales of jealousy for the future.
The pre-Socratics of philosophy,
Thales, Heracleitus, and Anaximenes.
The golden verses of Pythagoras,
And the sophist named Protagoras.
Aristotle’s pupil brought grandeur to the dream,
Alexander the great extended the means.
The logic, the literature, and the home of philosophy,
Mythology, and the tragedies, histories of epic poetry.
The things that have been and will always be,
I will always remember the glory that was Greece.
