Ode to a Lipgloss
That Fell in the Drain

O My Lipgloss!
Who oncekept my lips
<br> so moist
Your sweet taste and
shine
Delicious as sugar.
But so unfattening!

O Lipgloss Mine!
That once I kept
in my pocket
But not again.
Your moisture now
too wet
From the depths of yonder
Stormwater drain

O My Wondrous Lipgloss!
That you fell for
the good of
Nothing.

Such a waste!
My lips now cracked
and dry
Without you
Such sorrow was mine
at our parting

But now your are gone
To block the drain
Was your final mission
A martyr in the battle
For watering the road
And gutter

Thankyou, My Lipgloss!
For your loyal service
Over the years.
My Lipgloss!

[SwordBound]

[Kamiri (Ianthe)]

Here's another one I wroe for some school thing - something to do with description I think..

Lemon Sherbet

Shiny, delicate... yet twisted,
A secret heart hidden.
Clear, white... yet golden,
A tiny bird’s egg.
Smooth, creased... opaque folds,
Golden surface glossy with sun
Sticky, afraid of abandonment,
Sharp aroma lingering, tantalizing,
Reality of treasure close.
Delicate flavours tickle,
Rough, biting back,
Sweetly sour,
Teeth tapping...
Begging to be bitten
Sticking... brings the end nearer...
Shattering, cracking... fizzing,
An image of sea foam,
On dancing waves.
And it is gone,
Empty shell brunches hollowly,
Memory held,
Of things lost...

[Kamiri (Ianthe)]

Listen

They say time heals all pain
But the bitter wound deep in my heart
Dos not listen
As you would not hear my warning
When you answered the haunting call
Of pipe and drum.
Did you listen then?
When dying men’s screams
Echoed louder than thunder
Across the field?
Was anyone there?
To hear your own final words,
As I wished to?
Can you hear now?
As I stand beside this carved stone
And whisper your name
To the wind?
What will you hear then?
When I too, am gone
And no one is left
To read the faded words
Lovingly inscribed:
“Always remembered
Rest in Peace.”

[Kamiri (Ianthe)]

The House

Once there was a good house there, on that hill
The sun shone, life was good
Happy, carefree summer days
But time passes
And sun fades away
Leaves fall, winter approaches
Days grow bleak and empty
Though change come gradually
It cannot be halted
Lakes dry, their water gone
Mountains turn to dust, blown on the wind
The walls crumble, ruined, disappear
Once there was a good house there, on that hill
And now it stands no more

This is one I wrote today. I'm thinking about turning it into a song, although I think I'll have to rewrite some lines so it flows better

Untitled

Don't ask me to lie for you later,
I can't do that anymore
It's gone far enough as it is, now,
I don't want to fight in your war

I don't want to hear where you're going
It's better if I don't know
It's over now, that's the main thing,
Don't look for me when you go

I don't want to hear your excuses,
The time for sorry is gone
I'll wander away with head held high
And find where I belong

Just pretend this never happened
Forget, and let it be
But I think that, given a lifetime,
You'll still remember me
