F is for Falling

I always fail. Leading a trail of red ink behind me. I’m driving off the rails of success, Distress and defeat clouding over me.

As I fall from the sky, My wings turn to brick. I’m unable to fly, dislocated and forced to a hall. The corridor shows me, No amount of success reveals greatness. Only failure.

King

Your father held the crown high, Along with the heads of his enemies. But your strength was still higher, Prevailing through the gore of the ground. His Radiance shines no longer, All because of you. You little rebel.

Now, a new king reins the Carja lands. That king is you, Avad. You’ve gained more than just truces beyond the Sundom, Friends in every corner, A seeker from the tribe, And a guard worth keeping around.

Are you proud, Sun-King? The “14th Luminance of the Radiant Line,” A long title to say, You’re worth more than just keeping around. You can’t bring them back, But you can bring others forward.

The Court

Spoilers about The Voice of The Court of Owls

Your smirks of disgust, Eyes of power overlooking Gotham. The Voice deceives those approaching, Slaughtering more than a massacre. You avoid the eye of the Knight, Not once wishing to cross paths.

The hood escaped your pitfall, And it was clear, then and there, You were planning for defeat. The key told tales of your arrangements, Showing what that ore really does for you. Your idiocy will be your doom, Kane.

Happy big word day! I'll see what I can do about another big word poem since I'm not busy.

Stars

My problems and worries are not as significant as they might sometimes feel. A star. When you think of the word “star,” you think of a blazing hot orb that just floats in the sky, meaningless beyond light and heat. When I think of the word “star,” I think the same. But what does the word “star” even mean?

“(n) a fixed luminous point in the night sky which is a large, remote incandescent body like the sun.” But what does it mean figuratively? That’s what you make it.  Just as you make a small abnormality in your schedule. Picture this: Student A, always on time - meaning never late, in this scenario - is five minutes behind. Student A is panicking, worried that the time he is behind will mess up his entire day. The plans he had set aside on a metaphorical spreadsheet, now burned to ashes. But nothing happened. Student A made it to class only two minutes later than he usually did, leaving him five minutes to get settled and start his day at school. If you didn’t notice, I’ve been italicizing, bolding, and changing the colors of different words and phrases. I haven’t been doing so for the aesthetics. It’s to add meaning to the words. More meaning than they have. Let’s replace some words in the first sentence. My Your problems and worries are not as significant as they might sometimes feel. Our star, the Sun, provides us with life. You take it away, Earth dies, and so do you. “Okay… why are the words italicized?” These words have more meaning than what you think of. In all reality, life on its own is just a play on words. The Sun resembles your average day. School, work, whatever you do on the daily. Life is.. Well, life. But it has more meaning, trust me. “Take” is formatted because it resembles your problem. Maybe you’re late, like Student A. Maybe you got fired, or are failing a class. Let’s move on. Earth will die if the Sun is taken, due to the heat and light it gives. (This is simplifying the general definition of the Sun, mind you.)You feel like your life is being taken from you. Those bad grades and missed days are catching up, chasing after you, until you're in a spiraling pit of despair. Pause. What made you spiral? If you said the past, you’re on target. But what is the past? It’s time. Whether you think you’ve used your time wisely or otherwise, life is still going. You panicked because you felt like the more you thought about it, the more you “realized” you had wasted your time. But now, you’re 10 minutes late. You feel yourself spiral further, before realizing, The Sun is still here. It’s hiding behind the Moon. Just as you’re trying to hide from these problems. You can’t escape your problems. The past is the past. Your problems from the past deserve nothing more than the past.My problems and worries are not as significant as they might sometimes feel. Move past your problems. They only hold you back. Let’s go back to defining the word “star,” ignoring that the Sun is a star in doing so. A star is still a large orb carrying heat. But figuratively, It’s a day. A day in your life. A day in my life. A day in Student A’s life. Anyone’s day in their life. What is a milky way? A ton of stars.  A ton of days. Days on days on days is a milky way.  Your milky way. You choose what star burns brightly. You choose if the star dies. My Your Our problems and worries are not as significant as they might sometimes feel.

Cingulomania

Your words stab deep, My heart penetrated with hate. I just wanted your embrace. Warmth and light for only me. In contrast, I’m met with your cold gaze, Hatred seeping through your jaw.

I try to nuzzle against you, But your arms are frozen. Am I touch-starved? Or have you just been fed by another? My thoughts are crushed, As your hands clasp to my clothing, Ripping my away from you.

You make me fall flat on my face, My fate sealed inevitably. Am I truly destined for this? Lack of envelopment with another? Have the Gods granted me access, To a world without you, Known as Hell?

Incomprehensibilities

As detailed as you state, Your words hit a full slate. My brain can’t handle this, A train ramming through it. All you say, I miss it, Like a needle in the haystack.

Duh.  Should’ve understood it from the start. But just like a star, I’m more opaque than clay.

The last line isn't meant to make sense; irony towards the title Tomorrow is big word day! Thought I'd contribute!

Moon to My Star II

All I wanted was devotion, But you overlooked me, Only offering some light. I love your shine, But I need more. Earth had more.

I want to be your moon, But I need more than some celebrity star. Alluring as she is, You will always shine brighter than any other star. But I need more. Attention was all I desired. Not some light.

When she found out I was with you, And saw me fading without your glow, I realized I was just greedy, Greedy for attention. She left me, Just as you did. I love you, I’m sorry.

Moon to My Star I

You always said I was your star, And you orbit me as if you’re my moon. So why are you leaving me for Earth? Am I merely just a dot now? How will you shine without me?

You can’t just encircle the Earth. Who will revolve me? Who will I pass my light to? You’ll never shine without me. You’re just a dim rock without me. She won’t love you, Not a dim rock for an alluring planet. That’s all you are without me.

I loved you for who you are,

Not for your appearance.

She doesn’t know you like I do, So why won’t you stay? I can’t do this again. My companion star has left for another system. Don't make me carry this weight alone. Not again. I love you.

Under the Stars

Your eyes shine, A twinkling jade. They ground me, Recalling an image of the stars. But they’ve pulled me past the shore. Farther, And farther, From my star.

I gasp as I endure, The waves that hold me back.  I reach up in fatigue, My extremities searching to seize some sort of surface. As I seek for ventilation, Salt water pushes me down.

I look ahead in a squint, Seeing the stars. My mind images you, My warmest star. Oh, darling. If only you were here, To drag me to surface.

I’ll hit the seafloor, Breathless, Filled with water. They say we relive moments when we die, But all I see is you. You really were my only real moment.

Icarus

I dared to take a bold step, Off this bastard cliff. I escaped my prison, Just to be caught in another. My waxy wings caught me, My father cheering me on. But I flew too close to the Sun, Falling into the prison of unbeknownst.

The Sun melted my escape, And neither of us had a Plan B. You blasted fool. I was imprisoned because of you, Your attachment to me holding me back. Why did you dare help Thesus from the Labyrinth?

I've been making poems here and there, just haven't been posting them </3 Be prepared for a bunch of poems to get posted in like the span of 3 minutes bc I'm choosing the ones I wanna post- lamo-

Mountains

Maybe Haven always had it out for me, Leaving me a view with no one to see it. I go to our favorite spot, Every night I don’t work. And I hope, one day, I’ll see you waiting.

In my dreams, I notice you, Eyes glistening as the Sun sets. You turn to face me, talking about the clouds, Reminding me of our past. I chuckle in my slumber, All before I witness your dissipation. And then I wake up, Knowing you really are gone.

Requested by: its_thecoocoobird Getting back into making poems - picture this in Ryan's POV to Gabe I made it to nationals! I'll be out near the beginning of July. Guess how much it's gonna cost 😭

Conference Update!

I am home!!

I am super exhausted, and will need at least a day or so to relax. I'll get back to posting ASAP!

I desperately need prompts... Don't be shy to send anything!

On another note... Should I make a TikTok account? Might be able to advertise myself more...

Have a great day or night, and don't forget to drink some water! Love y'all!

[aether-the-writer]

Venerate

I strive for praise, Live for adoration, But all I receive is a, “Thank you,” Or “Good job.” I want more than that, I crave more than that. But I never voice my demands.

For I am a dog, unable to speak, Able to bark my emotions, For no one to comprehend. I’m kept on a rather short leash, Stuck in a backyard of no hail.

Been in the drafts for a bit. Don't have time to make a fresh one since I'm double-checking my stuff. Sorry! I'm going on a conference trip tomorrow! Will not be able to post! I'll make up for it with more poems about Horizon. Y'all really liked it!

Future

The air vaporous, Its contents contaminated. We doom ourselves, Us ignorant pricks. Our lands are flooded, Overwhelmed with filth from humanity.

The longer we remain uneducated, The longer Mother Nature suffers. She struggles to repair, to restore. But once something (or someone) becomes extinct, They cease to exist for future kin to enjoy.

Protect our planet, Before there is nothing to protect. You’re focused on defending nothing but yourself, Forgetting that without the sun, the moon, and further elements, We doom ourselves.

I'm running out of ideas . . . *hint* *hint* *wink* *wink*
