Poems From Study Hall

"Wanderer", "A Sinner's Prayer", "The Journey to Heaven","Kyoko's Last Wish"

So, hey, four poems this time. I wrote three of them today, the last three, and the other one is one of the several that I have from weeks ago. I was writing poems in study hall before I decided to actually post the poems. I just got scared to death by a weird buzzing noise by my ear, but I am armed with a Nerf axe and ready to type. Happy reading!

Your silver voice

Still gives me chills;

Or maybe it's just the wind.

I hear your shout

Among the hills

And yet it still kindles me.

Like a bright light

That stays long after,

Your eyes, they never leave.

They'll stay here with me

They'll haunt my grave

I'll never rest in peace.

When things are bad,

And times are sad,

And I feel like I can't stand up,

You comfort me

And promise me

You'll always fill my cup.

Beside still waters, you'll take my hand

And protect my shallow heart.

You'll make it so I can once more stand

And together, we'll never part.

"Everything will be alright"

You whisper in my ear

But once again, just then, I was

Too far away to hear.

I drifted in and out of stars,

And plunged to rocks below me,

I tried to open the metal bars,

But thy kept me from being forever free.

Never again to hear the birds,

Never again to see

All of the dozens and thousands of people

That cared so much for me.

But then I heard your voice again

That called me back to life,

And, my Lord, my King, you said,

"Welcome, my child, to life."

Oh, crap!

I'm dying, I'm dying,

I'm dead;

Can anybody see?

Hey, someone, anyone, somebody please,

Protect my treasure for me.

I know that she's still young,

And has a lot to learn,

But with her laughter, love, and smiles

Her keep she'll surely earn.

So please, someone, protect my treasure;

Let her always smile.

She tries to act like she's always tough

It's just that I don't think I loved her enough.

I feel the need to explain that last poem, because those of you who read it will probably be like "Whaat?" Kyoko is a character from my favorite manga, Furuba, or Fruits Basket. When she's dying, she's asking anyone to protect the daughter that she left all alone, the protagonist Tohru. I loved that chapter, because the feelings were raw, and I tried to use some of the phrases in said chapter, but that's what Kyoko's Last Wish is about. The first one is kinda a Juliet point of view poem, I mean, Romeo's eyes haunt her and stuff. The next two were about God picking us up and dusting us off and always being with us and the journey to Heaven. I was going to call the third one Stairway to Heaven as a joke, but...I didn't. So, comment and vote? Please? With sugar, whipped cream, sprinkles, and strawberries on top?
