Adventure Cannot Wait

It seems Adventure cannot wait(At least not for tonight).Despite the hour growing late,It’s roaring for a fight.It seems its needs I must placateWith word or rhyme or creed.Sometimes, my Muse I satiate;Tonight, the Beast I feed.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Final Fantasy Vocal Collection:  Pray (1994), composed and performed by […]

The Time Has Come

Although the time has come to dim the light,I would much rather stay up late and write.            Regardless, I would best be served            If I head swift to bed,            In order to get sleep deserved            And rest my weary head.For now, the time has come to say goodnight.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while […]

Weapons

The weapons that we wield are notThe arms with which most wars are fought,But razored word and witty thoughtNow claim our victory.The battles of the future areNot hopeless fights, nor quite as farAs we would like.  We earn each scarWith knives of poetry.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Dreaming in Rain […]

There and Back Again

I set out on a hurried trip,A brief sojourn to visit folksAnd family.  This fellowshipThe weekend filled with ample jokes.But serious my reason still;My grandmother has fallen ill. But all is well, at least for now,Despite continued mysteries.We pray for answers anyhow,And healing from this strange disease.Tonight, I sit at home, and waitFor news of […]

With this Poem Penned

I did all that I could today To do some good during my stay, To watch a show, to sit and play, And even try and write. Now that I’ve reached this sojourn’s end, I find that just around the bend Is slumber.  With this poem penned, I simply say good night.                                                                               |           […]

An Unexpected Call

It seems an unexpected callNow summons me away.This is not what I want at all,But won’t be bad, I pray.A day or two, then I’ll be back(At least, this I expect).Tomorrow morning, I will pack…I hope I am correct.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Fantasy Music – Daydream Mix (2016), uploaded […]

If Only

I’m on the cusp of something great,Only to find the hour late.It seems my work will have to waitUntil another day.If only I could justifyAnother hour.  I relyOn sleep, however.  Thus, good byeTo projects underway.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to The Elder Scrolls Music & Ambience | Peaceful Forest, 5 Beautiful […]

Alchemy

Not unlike changing lead to gold,A timid girl is turning boldIn her ambition. Truth be told,Her shift is alchemy.To see someone who once sat backAnd watched the world around her crack,Now fighting like a maniac…She’s reached her apogee.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to 3 Hours Arabian Music | Ambient Middle Eastern […]

What is a Quest?

What is a Quest?  Why do we takeOn such an epic weight?Perchance we have a thirst to slake,An onus to feel great.Why do we seek to glorifyOurselves?  Or is it more?Perhaps, instead, we pacifyThe poet’s need for lore.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Progressive Ambient, Downtempo, Psytrance, Psychill Music Mix (2017), […]

I Spent All Day

I spent all day amongst the peaks and valesOf made-up mountains (and all that entails).            I also wrote of libraries            Of blacksmiths, elves and more.            The road I travel oft varies,            But seldom does it bore.I spent all day devoted to my tales.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to All the Trees […]
