Extra Poems 2

I wrote these two poems a while ago. The first one can be interpreted as the subject being God, but I normally don't think of it that way. The second one is just a poem I wrote for the people who feel down about their "loneliness".

A Picture

A picture in the sky, way above my head

Beauty there lies, quite enough said

A white ball of fluff all year round

Not one whisper, not one hint of a sound

Yet it may turn gray and make the heavens roar

Light shoots across the sky more and more

Scared you may be but there's nothing to fear

'cause that white ball of fluff hangs over you near

To Shine

How wonderful it must be to shine

Shine just like a star

For people to acknowledge you

To know who and what you are

To know you come in groups and clusters

No, you're not alone

For you to have a billion friends

Yes, you're not alone

People will come to acknowledge

Though you're close yet far (No, you're not alone)

People will come to acknowledge

For who and what you are (Yes, you're not alone)

Again, I'm pretty pleased with my poems. I'm actually wondering if I write too many of them. I don't feel like a poet, so I don't know why I write them. I guess poems are just easier to write than short stories because they don't need a plot. And they're easy to end. Anyway, thank you for reading this post <3

My Sketch of Desna (LoK)

This is one of my drawings that I've done. I said that I was an artist and that I liked anime-style art as well. This is a sketch of Desna from the Avatar: The Last Airbender's sequel, Legend of Korra. This was drawn before the actual series premiered.

As you can see, this is not what the actual picture looks like. It's been edited with my photo editor, PicsArt on Android. I used cross process to give it the bluish color and saturated it. I used contrast on it but not too much. I've also used hi-def resolution on it because I tend to draw really lightly, and I couldn't see much of it in the original pic. Part of the pic is blurred (where his hair is) because I used a focal zoom to concentrate on his face. And lastly, I added the artistic design the editor provided me (the purplish....things.....on the edges).
Oddly, I think I'm more satisfied with the photo than I am with the actual sketch. I hope you like it.

Extra Poems

I've never been kissed before but I decided to write this poem.

My First Kiss

Amazing, it was!

My mind was high,

High above the clouds.

And my stomach fluttered,

The cocoons have hatched.

My heart raced

To the finish line.

And it keeps going!

My lips warmed

By his touch.

We were the only

Two people there,

Stranded on a deserted planet

In a whole 'nother galaxy,

A whole 'nother universe.

This poem is a simple poem I wrote. It was supposed to give me inspiration for a short story but I had never gotten to it.

Enlightenment

Here, under the stars and the moon

Guided by their light,

I lift my soul to the heavens

And I am given sight

From the Heart

From the Heart

Poems from the heart

Don't come easy to me

I try and I try

For my words to just be

The rhythm doesn't flow

And the words don't come

Just a few more words

And I could be done

But I'll keep on going

Till content I will be

'Cause I need to express myself

Yet it drives me crazy

Think, La, think

And finish this piece

But I can't find words

But “to be or not to be"

God's World

This is a poem I had written last year. I'm Catholic but I could never call myself religious. I'm actually one to argue about the Bible and God, but that doesn't mean I don't have my beliefs about it. I do believe in God but I am a defender of many religions.
I quote Muhammad Ali: "Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams--they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just like religions do--they all contain truths." Many religions, I'll admit, are weird in a way, but I really like learning about them nonetheless. Religion makes a person, whether they believe in God(s) or not. This doesn't mean I don't like to debate though. I accept beliefs but love to think things over.
The poem I wrote is almost like freestyle rhyming (i like to call it that at least); it doesn't necessarily follow a pattern, but most of it still rhymes. It deals with God's perfection and the sinners who aren't redeemed or saved. I refuse to believe that there is anything but Heaven and purgatory. I believe God is a merciful god who maintains His ever-benevolent ways. I do not intend to make fun of the Bible; this was just me criticizing my family's mixed views about God being ever-benevolent only when you are alive, and certainly not after death despite ever-benevolent meaning eternally forgiving.

God's World

I live in a neutral place

Where good and bitter tastes

Lies in every heart

I live on a neutral land

Where good and bad go hand and hand

Where fear is everywhere,

Where nature and I do part

I'd hate to see the day

When evil goes away

And the souls it lies in will never stay

They burn for all eternity

Never to be once set free

The good are all filled with glee

As they are now part of God's family

The burning people shall rot to death

Useless and meaningless was their first breath

Of God's Sweet, Enjoyable Gift of Life

Thank God for those joyful and free from sin

For they won and sit in God's Heaven

Lucky are those who feel no pain,

Yet "God's Children" burn with no life to gain

"It is justifiable punishment," the Mighty Lord claims

They cry and they wail and they ask for forgiveness

Oh, how they ask for eternal death to be painless

But this loving punishment is righteous and just

So killing them eternally is certainly a must

They wish for help but it never comes

Their arms stretched, reaching for a desired home

But they cannot reach it for they must have wings

They should have been good

But  love hurts and it stings

They hear laughter from the heavens above

They know now that they will never feel God's love

This is peace, the Holy Spirit, God's Holy White Dove

Someone save them, save them from this tyranny

Save them from God's "Loving Mercy"

But no one can stand up to God's rule

Cry for God's Children

But, then, welcome to God's World

Thank God they chose to sin

Welcome to God's World

Where you can "win"

If You Come Softly by Audre Lorde

I am a fan of poetry and other writings, but I don't think I'm as good as a lot of other people. I wanted to share a piece that I had found in a book by Jacqueline Woodson. The book is also entlitled If you come softly. I found the poem to be sweet so here it is:

 

If you come softly by Audre Lorde

If you come softly
  as the wind within the trees
You may hear what I hear
  See what sorrow sees
And if you come I will be silent
  Nor speak harsh words to you
I will not ask you why now,
  Or how, or what you do.
We shall sit here, softly
  Beneath two different years
And the rich earth between us
 Shall drink our tears.

Trial

Since I am new to blogging, I think I will try out different topics and different styles of writing. I never really show people my short stories (most of which are never finished),  or poems, so I will share one in this post.
This came from a little article I read in a writing magazine. I don't necessarily remember what the style was called, but for now I'll call it a "flash poem" (like flash fiction), not that it rhymed or anything. The article was about how a man had killed a priest because he found out his wife was cheating on him with this "holy" man.
 This was my response to the article:

 Title: Trial

 "How do you find him?"
 I grew impatient...
 Boiling with growing hatred.
 It was like losing consciousness.
 Losing concentration.
 It's hard to think
 What happened?
 Had I truly killed him?
 The priest...I'm a murderer
 A murderer in the face of God
 I thought about it: I was relieved, rather.
 "We find the defendant guilty...Your Honor..."
 They were taking me away
 But I was in a whole 'nother world
 By myself...
 And I menacing...chuckled to myself...

 I wanted to make the story shorter but I guess that didn't really work. I wanted at least in the sixties. But I wanted to get into his head so.......Anyway, I was pretty satisfied with this. Thank you for reading :-)
