Emerald Eyes!

And this is my second piece!

My last one took about 3 days to write...

This one took less than an hour!

This one flows a hell of a lot better too!

I'm REALLY proud of this one! It's a lot more upbeat than the last one!

And I know, my eyes shift from green to brown and somewhere in between, but there is at least enough green in them to warrant the name of this piece!!!

Anyway!

Emerald Eyes...


My emerald eyes have opened…
As I wake unto this day
With dreams and possibilities
And oh so much to say!

With people always changing…
You just never can foresee…
The way this world is turning…
And what this might mean for me!

As I’ve grown up these many years…
I’ve seen so many faces…
Some people come and some may go…
And some just fill the spaces!

Our roads are rocky time to time…
Our hearts can lose their light…
Let me explain!
All’s not in vain!
We’ll find our feet tonight!

For some of us, it’s hard to beat
The hate in someone’s heart…
But don’t return that hatred back!
You’ll have your place to start!

At times we feel like we’re alone…
Some people aren’t so great…
That doesn’t mean that you’re condemned
By dearest brother Fate!

Keep looking for the hope you need…
I’m telling you! It’s there!
Just keep your head up towards the sky…
This life’s not THAT unfair!

You’ll find the light you’re looking for…
It’s shining in your soul…
And even in a world alone…
That light can keep you whole…

It’s faith that’s brought me here today…
It’s faith that keeps me strong…
For I know I will find my place…
A place I too belong!

I see this world for what it is…
So genuine and true…
I know this because I have found…
People like me and you…

Although we may be scattered…
I assure you we are here…
And when we come
We’ll be the ones
To take away your fear…

I wish you all could see this world…
The earth, the seas and starry skies…
And all the people smiling here…
The way I do… through Emerald eyes…

The Wish...

So I've been on a bit of a streak lately! Things are going well and I just wanted to write!

This one's gonna seem a little down, but IDK It came to me (though it was a PAIN to get it to rhyme, probably why it's a little sad in the middle = P)

I'm working on another one right now too.. lets hope that one goes a little more smoothly, and I don't have to resort to anything sad! ^_^

This one is probably a little more like some of my classic work... I can't believe I just said that... Lol

The Wish...

When all the world had passed me by…
With nothing left to hold…
I gazed unto a midnight sky…
And watched the stars unfold…

I made a simple wish that day…
Upon that light so free…
I wished Someday…
Somehow…
Some way…
That light could shine for me…

A better world I knew I’d find…
A love I’d soon embrace…
A hope to hold a heart so kind…
As tears ran down my face…

Yet Brother Fate cast me aside…
As I began to fall…
My heart and soul were lost inside…
These chains would soon enthrall…

A boy was I in days of old…
When I had made that plea…
10 years have passed, and truth be told…
My heart is still not free…

Love will deliver me from fear…
My chains it would unbind…
That moment here…
So Crystal Clear…
The freedom I will find…

Although my path has been lonely…
And the journey’s had its pain…
This life holds little misery…
This heart holds no disdain…

Forgiveness to this world… my home…
That I thought passed me by
I thought that I stood here alone…
Just looking at that sky…

I made a wish so long ago…
Unto that sky so blue…
And with a smile, this I know…
My wish… it will come true…

Light

So I've wanted to write something new for a little while now...
Since I found myself really being happy again... I'm glad this one came to me so quickly...

I borrowed a quote towards the bottom, but I guarantee very few (if any)are going to know what it is, or where it's from. Lol Anyway


Light

So much time has been wasted…
Dwelling upon the darkest of days…
Searching through the stars in the sky…
To find a light that shines for me…
I’ve been a fool…
Wasting away in my own desires…
When the truth has remained at my side…
All this time…
Buried within the darkness…
Lies the brightest of lights…
In my own heart…
At the depths of my own soul…
Here is the warmth I’ve always wanted…
That I’ve always had.
I will not waste another today…
Nor will I pine for the midnight sky…
A star can shine for everyone…
I’ve been greedy…
Selfish…
Wanting a life I don’t deserve…
A Dream I need not realized…
And in this moment…
Here and now…
I see that I am the blind man…
Searching for a sight…
A vision that I have always had…
I am my own wings…
My own love…
My own freedom…
For far too long…
I thought I had lost those precious feelings…
That unbridled Joy
A poorly hidden smile…
All the joy in my heart…
Seemed lost and forgotten…
And yet here I stand…
At peace with myself…
No longer knee deep in the darkness…
Pining away my existence…
Searching for something better…
When what I really want...
Has been right here…
This path doesn’t have to be lonely…
This world doesn’t have to be frightening…
This night doesn’t have to last forever…
Though storms may come…
And Darkness may linger…
As long as I hold on to the light inside myself…
I’ll always have something to fight for…
Destiny is the power in my hands to change the world…
Strength is simply the will to never give up…
And Courage is the Magic that turns dreams into reality…
I will keep walking forward…
Down the road I’ve made for my self…
With my head held high…
My eyes gazing upward and onward…
Towards the future…
Waiting for the happiness that awaits ahead of me…
But embracing the same feelings that I hold now…
And I can’t stop smiling…
