 Whispers

by Joseph Roque

So,

this is what it's

come to.

Where you are.

What you've become.

In one single, simple lifetime,

you decide to prefer

the company of graveyards,

to gatherings of live humans.

What? I say again;

what in your walks there,

do you find

that mankind

does not offer you?

Peace of mind.

Respect.

Quiet time.

Harsh words there,

are never

more than whispers.

WAR AND TALE OF TALES AND WARRIORS
By Andrew Conforti

A story is told of a brave one
Who became a hero in the eyes of a kingdom
A tale of tails of beasts and dragons
As the sick and the dead were rolled in wagons

The beasts raided the lands with such power and might
The Citizens felt just worry and fright
The blood soaked plains and the fearing people
The gold rich dungeons and the signs of the reaper

Corrupt Kings ruling through ears and flood
The fallen empire, the ashes and blood
The burning forest, the smell of death
Rotting corpses in the beast's breath

At this time of darkness and discourage
A hero rises and climbs the mountain of courage
He holds a sword in his left and a shield in his right
A hero begins to swing with all his might

The beasts fight back and put up a battle
But the hero reigns victor, mounted on his horse's saddle
Dragons still blow fire and flames
The hero however continues to reign.

Blink of an Eye

by Brittany Stout

You had me good.

Knew just the right words,

that made me believe

you were real,

and can trust you.

But with a blink of an eye,

it was like a knife to the heart.

You took off into the dark

without a sense of knowing

if you will be returning.

Waitin to see

will determine if we’ll ever be.

You can’t even come around,

ashamed to see how I will act,

but now you know.

You won’t even talk

so, in a blink of an eye

I’m saying good-bye.

A TASTE OF SIN
By Andrew Conforti

A beautiful world has been created
A garden full of life
A garden named Eden
A great creation by God for two souls

The souls roam freely
The souls are intelligent
Yet the souls are deceived
A serpent slithers into their minds
The serpent corrupts the souls
And they are destroyed

God had warned these souls
He warned them not to bite the fruit of sin
The souls did not listen and had a taste
The souls did not gain wisdom
They became nothing but sinful bodies

Why have thou bit the fruit?

The souls were tricked
The joy that became sorrow
The creation of sin

Why have thou bit the fruit?

God was upset
The devil laughed
But God forgave
And We still suffer

Why have thou bit the fruit?
