Saint Joseph School

THE LIGHTHOUSE

This my castle stronghold,
This my tower of Light,
Across the ship-bound waters,
Across the sea at night.

Through the stormy tempests,
and nature's maddened cast,
This light shines out above them,
To safely let them pass.

THE BIRD BY THE RIVER

A blackbird alighted with a call,
On the ragged boxelder near us.
My partner and I watched him,
The representatives of youthful curiosity
And he watched us,
The visage of ancient knowledge be it known and not.

We contemplated him and he contemplated us.
Then,
With a flutter of ebony wings we parted ways.
As youth and knowledge often do.

CHIRON MEDICAL CENTER, ATLAS PARK

Darkness razed by immolating thunder,
Set off, ripped asunder,
Angels wail a triumph scream,
A new soul lost into fragile dream,
Demons alight in expectant hellish scorn,
from Earth their wanton prize now torn,
Reaching out to reclaim,
thwarted when another came,
To the heights of unknown wait
to the peak of Heaven's gate,
Angel, Demon, Lord adore!
What I have left upon your door.

MY DRAGON

When in twisted, whispered, winds.....
When threatened by told and secret sins.....
I cry in helpless, tangled tongue.....

Bursting forth with retinue.....
His breath a fiery curlicue.....
A myriad emerges from the sun.....

Around me wrapping, gently wry.....
Comforting, holding, resting by.....
Then by nature's hand undone.....

INQUISITION

The smoke goes to heaven,
and the cross goes to hell.

lol... Jaygo, you better hope she is feeling kind when you post your story... hell hath no fury and all that, you know ;P

what's she gonna do, give me the 'Goth stare of brooding?' oh maybe she'll write a bad goth poem about me..

( OOC sorry Franky. Mimi made it too hard to resist)

I think that's an item i D&D, isn't it? Like a +1 Goth Stare of Brooding?

I can't for the life of me remember ;P

yeah it's in the 'Mundane and Boring handbook"

When I read this translated....

... I, like, have no words to describe it. Totally.

Wow.....this stuff is just so cool ...I love it....

I'm actually rather surprised how much work bad goth poetry really is...I mean..take some usual poetry structures and conventions..throw in some words that rhyme and voila! Goth poetry.....and for my next installment I'll actually have to try something depressing....

Oh and Jaygo, therapy is useless...they just tell me a bunch of stuff I already know...like.."We feel you're having peer issues about 'fitting in' and that you are angry about something"...pfffftt.....no kidding grandma...I'm a freakin' superhero.

Anyway....enjoy the poetry.

Franky X + 1 Goth Stare of Brooding.
