What is This?

Welcome to the first blog I have created outside of a class assignment. I figured I was tired of practicing my poetic skills on facebook statuses which seemed mundane and pointless so I decided to create this (although I am not sure this will be satisfactory either). Nonetheless, I have deemed this as my personal journal for poetry. Enjoy to the few who happen to stumble upon it and feedback is welcome.

The Sixth

Guilt lays hard on the hands of The Humble.
Straying about, here and there
Never stopping to look around, beware
Of the melancholy spots surrounding us thus,
Here, there, around everywhere, with fuss
At us be-cuss no one sees, no one hears
The ones who are coming to bring tears
To the heavy hearted hardy handlers
Who take one wrong turn into Mandlers.

Now spinning, now flipping, now crashing
Into the abyss we have been thrown,
By our own intentions we should have known.
Here it ends, here it lies, the forget-me-not
Fruit that evergrows in our minds.

Our own mistake, our own wrong turn,
Once only once did we reach out and burn
The hearts of the beloved, the hearts of they,
Those who stood before us, listened to us say;

I am here. Here I stand. Before all of You.
What a moment. What vision. What a View.
Follow Me. I'll show you the Way.
Be not afraid. Be not led Astray.

And so we went and we walked
We dined and we talked.
All fine and dandy strolling along
Until that poor schmuck hit a gong.

And so we are here.
At the bottom of the abyss.
And no one can see to the side.
No one can see, only can we bide.
And the Mandlers are around unrelenting.
At this moment in time we think repenting.
And all the while we cannot bear the weight.
Until that poor schmuck opens up the great gate.
And then all shall look to fantastically behold and see.
Up above where we once stood firm upon solid ground.
There is a Light of Hope leaking from every angle around.

Guilt may lay hard on the hands of The Humble,
But after the fall has been accomplished, ye arise from the crumble.

The Fifth

All the woes and pleasures of the world unite,
Bring forth the sweet smells of morning delight,
When all that is can be found,
And all that was lies unbound,
Forever and ever as the stars ordain,
Without cares and wonders in vain.
Yet: the ones who say they know prove,
the ones who say they have proof know,
intelligence come forth from reason,
reason escape from the tangles of treason,
the sun fall through the clouds above,
And the winding mazing roads lead to love.
I shall sing a sweeter song tomorrow,
But tomorrow is yet to come.
