Darkness falls on an alien world And shadows creep beneath the silky mist As the tree of life heralds another dusk The birds of night take flight, they must. For hallow and thistern and small bright sunsun These three heavenly bodies align in a cistern And all know tis the hour of laykrull The old dragon whose touch alone blisters With fury he snarls through the dark And turns to ash every green bark All except the mighty tree of life Who by morning light brings renewal and soothes those in strife. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Let there be light! That was in the beginning of the world When nothing was deadly, When the earth was healthy. Doves graced the sky, like the moving stars in the day, lawns stretched all over, with perches of beautiful roses in many colours. Humans knew nothing but smile, and without fear they conquered tomorrow, Babies drank nothing but milk, not worrying if there was ever tomorrow. But then came darkness, falling with fury from the sky! Slowly eveloping the once lovely earth, with a strong vow to blot out the light! Humans invented envy, envy invited greed, Humans embraced lust, lust welcomed jealousy. The world became angry, and here comes war We ceased to remain as family, never to act as one. Blood stained the lawn, the roses withered away. The grasses grow dark, the birds all flew in awe. Nothing but death surrounds the earth, as the darkness slowly bid its time. Creeping slowly but effectively, as it gracefully blots out the light. Who then will save us, even if we cry aloud? Who then will bring the light, now that our minds are dark? Darkness taking over, we all are embracing it. Darkness slowing hovering, raring its head in all our daily needs. The fog of darkness, has crept into the light.. The human's need for darkness, will finally kill the earth... But there is hope, we see a new world behind us... We were not left alone, the creator has heard the cries of the few lights amongst us. Thank you *there is hope for the earth, even in this midst of nothing but darkness in the hearts of men 7 Likes 1 Share |

NATURE The winds are blowing, I could see the trees dancing, and birds flying/running helter skelter, what could they be up to?, as I looked sheepishly through the window. I remembered my geography class, could this be cyclone, chinook, tornado or hurricane as I asked myself inwardly and kept staring, mother nature has beautified its environments, I blurted. The sky has been beclouded by fogs and I could see some droplets of water, oh! It's raining, but my curiousity wouldn't let me go away from the window. I could hear some bickering noise, the trees were singing, as the naughty bird perching on it, gave me a frivolous smile. Earth is really blessed. How would other planets be, if I only I could take a trip to my most-loved "mars", I banged the window and sleep took its cause. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

As the sun withdrew it's radiance, The moon is climbing through the skies, Oh how the night birds calls, Calling from their trees. My souls longs to join them, To see the sight above the skies, Out of the pit of this great black world, And feed in the mysteries of the galaxies. Out of the darkness I'll hover, With playmates in the moony night, We'll escape through the fogs at battle, And travel forever forward. Though we might not reach the gates of heaven, We might tiptoe in the rim of paradise, Then retire to our nests and wait upon the sun, To ride again in the sailing blast. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Dark moon Dark moon, it comes as the sun evades, the bats flee atop trees like errands prepaid Owls scour the night less, as darkness abate trees becomes desolate of its inhabitants away. Atop the mountain the moon settles viewed in the perspective of tree scanty like darkness shadows a part, sun rays apart it reflects on the ambiguity of reference it depends to the gathering of the moonlight event, tales are told at the old ones intent fury snaps when the dark night gathers thick cloud It rained as i view from my shutter in the dawn, early morning precise. 1 Like 1 Share |

Night sky A sky full of clouds, a mesmerizing vision a sight to behold Radiant, billowing from water droplets cooling, was this beauty made. The owl hoots out loud, Birds of the air scurry off, they do not belong. Calling to the moon, perched on a branch of this tree, its favourite spot. A whirl of cool air, flashes of bright light, the moon, silently replies. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The Dawn Of A New Day. Darkness creeps away. The Moon still bright. Not as dim as in the Night. The Sun Sets in the Sky. To give light to the Earth. Birds fly in the sky. Filled with mirth. The leaves take in the sunlight. And make nests to the tree's delight. As the Earth moves around the Sun. The Day has just begun. As I hear the thrust waking at day break, Singing A New Song.

A Haughty Walk like a serrated saw,so is her braid, Nimbly, she grope not like a maid, For the street her feet knows, Walking with broadened nose, With a curly hair,brown or red?, Kissing her neck,as pride got her led. Eagle-eyed,searching for a prey, Men will fall,but not if they pray. When you see her,look away, If she touches you,run away, Lo! She's pretty, But is she piety?! 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Looking so Radiant like the Sun. Living vibrantly with so much fun. Ever so strong and proud. Doesn't have to be loud,to be heard. A source of inspiration to Many. Not fizzled by negative attention. So stylish and voluptuous. People termed her scrumptious and virtuous, And also Succulent. Children find her as mild as a dove. She is neither good nor bad. Looking so beautiful and majestic like a lioness. Knows no pain,but paean. I call her Missy. 2 Likes |

[size=20pt]THE BEAUTY OR THE BEAST? [/size] She is an epitome of beauty, the definition of pretty, The young ladies' model, and every man's dream... But like every female entity, she habours a secret, Her little pretty secret, a skeleton in her closet She is a symbol for humans, compared to nothing but onions Each unravelling brings nothing, but another round of tears Red blood flows in the veins, yet we spit out white saliva We cover our real self, we display a different spectrum She is an epitome of beauty, a symbol for the ladies, Looking really pretty, but having many secrets.... *only God knws wot we all hide underneath our smile 5 Likes |

So ravishing she looks; lighting up the whole city; So dauntless she looks; you cannot doubt her ability; Day and night, her name on everyone's lips, Her joy is putting smiles on people's faces with her dexterity, She is a defender of the weak, a living hope to many. 1 Like |

Who is this mysterious stranger On whose chest lies a symbol of power Whose feet move swiftly towards danger Never minding the difficulty she might encounter Who is this wondrous being Who saves us as our travails begin The custodian of a city so mean The rescuer of dangers long foreseen She is superman's cousin, Anita Kael! The kryptonian saviour who guards us well! Faster than a speeding bullet, she races to quell And rescue all innocents from evil's spell! 4 Likes 1 Share |

La Femme Extraordinairé Who's she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array? Oh! She's a virgin bethrothed to a virtuous man, her self confidence is superb, she's a daughter of eve. Boys bemoans she's too egoistic, Men salutes she's a wife material, I admire her, you admire her.. I wish to get her kind of, is my everyday anthem--as she passes by... 3 Likes 1 Share |

Braids bellowing in the bristly air, blue eyes focused on the beastly lair, another day, another mission, another quest in the trails of her passion. With subtle moves and a sultry pose, she confronts and confounds her foes, then striking with beguiling agility, she delivers death with a calm serenity. A dazzling, dangerous demagogue, Relentless in defence of humans, she is the vaunted spider woman 1 Like 1 Share |

SEDUCTION............................................... Desperate for her target/ Unleashing lust on the street of temptation/ It's easy to behold her beauty/ Her angelic eyes steal the moment/ A kiss from her is life sentence / Her hug draws the gate of hell/ She swings her steps/ As she scout for her next victim/ Becareful of her seduction/ Else, she prey on you... 1 Like 1 Share |
