Kyanah crouch low to the ground, her head dipped, her eyes closed. A soft rumble was felt in her feet so she put one hand on the ground to see if she could tell more about it with the more sensitive parts of her palm. The rhythmic pattern was familiar, almost like a horses hooves pounding on the earth, but bigger much bigger. Her head snapped up as she heard the faint thudding slowly growing louder as the creature neared her. Time was of the essence now and she had to act fast or her opportunity would cease to exist. She leaped high into the trees above her, jumping from the lower branches to gain a higher perch. This beast was huge, she didn't really need to worry about getting too high above it, she had to worry more about being too low and it crushing her. As she neared the smaller branches at the top of the trees she saw it, a large horse-like being with a ghost white mask. It was still a ways off, not yet reaching the edge of the trees a few yards away. She hid among the leaves so that it wouldn't see her, or she hoped it wouldn't. The large creature stopped suddenly at the very edge of the forest having caught her scent, "Great," she muttered angrily to herself and charged forward, springing from tree to tree. The beast stood waiting for her, breathing heavily from its run, drool dripping from an angry mouth. Kyanah lunged, finally reaching the edge of the trees herself, her form flying through the air above the great monster hoping to defeat it in a single strike. She was halted mid-air, however, as the beast reared back and kicked her square in the chest causing her to fly back into the trees heavily wounded. The young woman groaned as she hit a large trunk and slid to a stop on one of the tree's larger branches. Barely conscious she saw another form arrive, a familiar one this time. "Captain," she whispered as she fell into the darkness of unconsciousness.

We may scream forever But you will never hear Sadness cried out to her The same as sorrow and fear Our lives have become empty She will leave us soon Never did you show pity As was written by the rune A source of power grows deep Into the earth we search But the path is forever steep The bottom a demon's perch Our hands and feet grow bloody As we try to find the cure So that she cannot leave us already For her heart is pure Deep within the earth we'll find What she needs to be saved Hopefully it will be the kind That on the rune was engraved Her symbol of power Old as the sky The eagle upon the tower And the falcon on the fly If we find it soon her life will be spared It was written by the rune We will never again be scared When sickness comes again We can always fight it And from evil we will refrain To save our loved ones from it

Falling
Deeper and deeper into a slumber
Dreaming
Filled with horrors of our world
Light
Dim and in the background
Darkness
Lifts from the ground and swallows the scene
Power
Surges through your veins
Strength
Purges weakness from your limbs
Brighter
A light in the distance grows
Awareness
Builds your senses beyond their peak
Sudden
Your body begins to move and fight
Yearning
Summoned from within your heart
Fighting
Darkness stands no chance
Damaged
Fading darkness is drained by light
Me
What you're seeing and wanting
Wavering
Made impossible by your strength
Love
Is what powers us through the dark
Infinite
Longing that will never fade
(still can't find a better name.)

Fighting to be a Lover Tuesday, October 13, 2009 From deep inside my mind Memories tug at my consciousness A string of hope i must again find The single strand I chose is this A feeling so deep inside my being I had forgotten it was there The memory has left my heart singing Words come to me from nowhere Melodies burst forth from my lips Soft and sweet on morning air The sadness from my heart it rips And all I had to do was stare Strange thoughts fill my mind as I think of you Nothing like I have ever known before After all of the darkness I think I finally came through Thinking of this all I want is more Fighting memory and fear To finally feel this strange feeling It is strongest when you are near Making my whole being begin to sing Falling deep once again But this time not into the dark Thought and memory become clouded and forgotten As the light in my life you did spark Freedom now stands before me Unlike so many years where it was out of reach The strings of my heart you set free Now to spread my wings and fly from the words they preach Come take my hand You can fly away with me We won't have to touch land Until we are where we want to be

Day is ending in this magical place We sit there side by side on the soft grass As the last colors of the sunset fade away into the deep blue of night Darkness slowly creeps up on us But we are not afraid of the dark In fact that is exactly what we are waiting so patiently for The silver white light of the moon begins to shine softly upon us It's pure light giving everything a beautiful glow Myriads of stars shine brightly above our heads The full moon's glow makes it nearly as bright as day But we know better, we are creatures born of the night Shadows dance playfully about us Their soft voices calling for us to join them We easily give in to them and our bodies begin to move Dancing to a beat so ancient and entrancing Our feet must move across the soft grasses Winds conduct this most ancient orchestra Leading the leaves to play the one song most prized The rustling beat so soft and smooth We must be silent or we cannot hear it's glorious sound Sweet smelling grasses flow gently below our bare feet Then the ancient lyrics begin to be heard The voices of all the insects and animals sing in the tongues of the ancients We do not understand their words but the meaning is clear The voice of the wind sings the loudest above our heads And the earth hums softly below us The message is loud and clear in our ears "You are forgiven, now dance freely!" It plays forever on the winds that surround us And is imprinted into our eternal memory It's power ringing on for an eternity This single phrase now spoken The life long curse is broken So now we dance forever Bathed in the moon's silver light
(rereading this poem I have found that it can have so many more meanings than the original one)

In truth we see By sun's last light The day that's past The life to bring Our morning's gone To winter's land Night to come A dreaded plan Sing your song Dance your life There's only one day So dance till night Bring in dawn before the dusk Be the summer Where winter rules
(If you can actually understand what this means, you have made a great accomplishment)

The moon is hope Like the moon Hope waxes and wanes At times completely disappearing Like the new moon But afterwards it comes back Ever so slowly the bright light again graces the night sky Then after a time The light becomes bright and full again And we no longer need the hope So it fades away Until, once again it is gone completely And that is when we need it So it grows again And it goes on and on For every person in all the world The cycle of hope And the cycle of the moon Are one in the same

My eyes open To the blinding light Someone stands before me In the darkness where I live Not an angel as you may think But a savior of the earthly kind The light in the dark Hope hidden in despair All can see him But only I see the light My hope and my reason The only purpose for me to live Yet it was only a dream I will never find him Forever I will live in darkness For an eternity will I fall? No hands come to grab me up Only to pull me down Down into my own mind the prison made by me The only one I cannot escape alone In darkness and despair The heavy weight presses down On mind, body, and spirit Smashing me to oblivion

A caged bird sings
Beautiful melodies filling the air
Graceful wisps of longings
Notes that flow so far
A newborn kitten mews
Such a soft cute sound
It's voice bringing the news
The circle of life still moves around
A whisper is heard on the wind
Furiously I wake from this dream
Knowing it could all be true
Hearing the bird and kitten scream
As death again becomes new
Furious gales whip what tries to stand
This cleansing in nature's form
Winds batter and break the cage
Setting the song bird free
It tries to fly in nature's rage
And lands in the old oak tree
The mother cat cries in fear
Needing to protect the newborn life
From my eye falls a single tear
As I watch their mortal strife
Winds crash through with hurricane force
Bashing that old standing oak
No longer can it withstand and it aims its course
Falling to where the kitten last spoke

A weary sigh upon my chest Long and forgotten at its best Mine is gone long ago Forever weeping sad and slow Tears run rampant down my cheeks I can't stop them, not for weeks Tired winds howl at my door But I don't listen to them anymore A fearsome creature I have become In this darkness my heart is numb A forest far away waits for me But alas the way I do not see Fear torn skin lays at my feet Light long past as death I greet Tiny holes seen through dead man's eyes Silver thoughts pass as the last part dies A vein of terrible misery As blood flows freely from me Torn and battered I lay down to rest I cannot stand i've done my best The last battered breath escapes my lips And I remember those fateful trips Journeys to lands so far away Though it is there I wish I could stay Forever roaming wild and free that was the life I wanted for me But alas my journey has ended My heart still far from mended Beaten I lay dying at death's beautiful door Until I saw you and life I wanted more I stood once again to see the sight It was so hard it took all my might But my beaten body rose as I had hoped And for your hand, my hand groped Until you pulled me up to my feet And to life's light I am once again able to greet A tired beaten me held tight in your arms And past mistakes are forgotten harms Safe and sound I roam again But not alone, I roam with my friend Two weary travelers are we But a smile is shared between you and me One so promising of the next day That "I love you" is the only thing I can say Though the words don't express what it is I feel Because it was my heart that you did heal Not an easy task to do Many have tried but the only one to succeed was you
