This is a poem based on the book: Call Of The wild, written by Jack London. It is a real good book, and it inspired me to write this
-
Raised up a simple dog,
...
Soon I will die
and I want you to know
I wish you all luck
before I must go
...
Everyday before I wake
I dream a little dream
always different than the last
simple it may seem
...
I’ve been walking a single path
just searching for the truth
but now this path splits in half
and a don’t know what to do
...
I’m just a lonely candle
that lights this empty place
my flame keeps falling faster
and my wax just drips away
...
You are an angel
with a halo of gold
beautiful wings that
sparkle and glow
...
One day when i change,
my life will turn around
and all my pains and sorrows
will fade and not be found.
...
My blood drips
upon this cross
cursed I am not
though I become a loss
...
As I lay
beneath this tree
I see the way
things ought to be
...
Only through death
can one be free
when their spirit departs
from insanity.
...
I walked a dark path
that led to my end
a path that went downward
becouse of my sin
...
To me, you were a rose
sitting in a vase,
a lonely little flower
that was withering all away
...
I can't find the words
that describe how i feel
so i got you this ring
to show it is real
...
Outside of my tent
I sit on the ground
watching the nature
that lives all around
...
Today I want to write a poem
but nothing comes to mind
so I will just write this piece,
it should pass the time....
...
Open your eyes
so you can see
the present I give you
that present is me
...

Call Of The Wild
This is a poem based on the book: Call Of The wild, written by Jack London. It is a real good book, and it inspired me to write this
-
Raised up a simple dog,
I passed from hands to hands.
And learned the law of club and fang,
It’s the law that life demands.
I ran along-side Huskies
and walked on frozen land.
In search of yellow metal,
That calls up mortal man.
I found my master murdered
Face down in the creek
And now I live in the wild
A place so full of peace…
I lay next to the nature
And listen to the sounds
I watch the Living food
that is moving all around
I hear the call, that echoes
Which stops me in my tracks
It’s a tantalizing music
To which I can not turn my back
I sense the pride within me
It’s yearning to break free.
I can hold back no longer
It’s time for me to leave.
I leap into a fury
And race into the wild
Running to my hearts content
Greedy like a child.
I don’t know I’m running,
But my instincts tell me to.
The call is so demanding
Like fish drawn to the blue.
Everything I ever need
Is here within this place,
Every meat I’d ever want,
And water is replaced.
I stand up high on mighty cliff
And howl to all that hear
So they will know that I’m alive
I rule this place here.
It’s the call of the wild
And the blood in my veins
That pushes me on forward
Throughout the endless rains
I am master of this place
And ruler of the land
I need not be wolf
Becouse I am who I am
