Forever (A poem about love)

Forever is a very long time
In the beginning of Forever
When the stars high above
Did not yet shine
My love began

Forever is a very long time
When the dust of the explosions
Still settled in empty space
When skies were born
My love was young

Forever is a very long time
When humanity was new
Painted horses danced
In the firelight
My love was bright

Forever is a very long time
In the ancient cities
Where math first lived
As new ideas
My love multiplied

Forever is a very long time
When castles had hard stone walls
When kings ruled
All they could see
My love grew vast and strong

Forever is a very long time
When new ideas were abundant
In Victoria's time
A time of finches
My love evolved

Forever is a very long time
When buildings scraped the sky
When lines were
Made useless
My love flew through the air

Forever is a very long time
Four billion years from today
When the sun grows cold
When life is dead
My love for you will endure


What do you think? I really like this one. But, it combines love, poetry, history, and I get to talk about space.

Now, as this updates automatically, I am on an six hour plane trip.  Why, you may ask. Well, because.

But seriously, we'll be visiting my aunt who I haven't seen since my birthday, and I haven't seen Potato for two years.

(By the way, I made a tumblr! Its where I'll post interesting or strange things my friends have said, along with stuff i think is cool. The URL is worse-than-tonks.tumblr.com, because Dragonchild upon seeing me with blue streaks in my hair a while back stated, "It's blue now! you're worse than Tonks!")

To you I offer this

If you love somebody
If you have dreams
If you know in your heart that we are all one family
I offer you my home

If your luck has turned against you
If your hope has been crushed
If everything you used to love has been obliterated
I offer you my hope

If you've ever written words like these
If you've ever cried for followers
If you've ever put your heart on the line in the hopes of someone listening
I offer you my respect

If you are anyone
If you have doubted yourself
If you need a friend in times of hardship
I offer you my hand

If you cry yourself asleep
If you hold a knife in your hand
If you wish for the end to come sooner then later
I offer you my love

If you have wished on a star
If you have searched for four leaved clovers
If everyone tells you that faeries aren't really real
I offer you my beliefs

If you are reading this
If you care for people you've never met
If you know that every second counts in our lives
I offer you my thanks

Silver Stars (A Random Words Poem)

spike spear prick pearl water wash away fly soar stars sky listen speak float hover gentle breeze sparkle shimmer shiver shatter shine crystal winter weather wisp wind wish twist twirl turn burn fire smoke rain hail never always gone gone gone

To Survive

They laugh at your fears
They whisper your name
You scare them
What do they know?
You are only human
But you tell them:
Life isn't perfect
Bad things happen
Scars are invisible
There's more than their bubble
You show them the light
They'd rather the dark
They don't want to know
So they crawl away
They fear you and your truth
They laugh when you cry
They can't see your scars
But they know that they're there
Because you don't let them forget

To See You Go


My mind was open
My eyes were
Closed
Shut
The stars were out
But I couldn't see
Through the cracks
In my bedroom wall
So I searched the land
The sea
The sky
To find a clue
A pointer to where you are
Are you there?
I know you can see this
Find me
The moon is high above me
But alas
So far below your feet
I'll wait for you
At the station
The place we said
Goodbye
So long
I closed my eyes
Tight
So I wouldn't
Have
To
See
You
Go
