Napoleon {Animal Farm}

The minds of thee are so easy to bend
List’ning to absurd orders without say
Such creatures can’t tell if I’m foe or friend
When I shall fall, I’ll never see the day

For with an iron fist I’ll always rule  
As a boar with a plan so they shan’t see
That none are really much more than a fool
Even though they’re all the servants of me

The windmill distracted them like the plan
So I could saunter in and turn the tide
Now they’re my hooves, especially the man
Frozen in fear when rebellions died

For I’d rather work with humans, it’s true

Than suffer in hell with the lot of you

Outro

I fade into the outro
Blocked by the sound of people
Making their way to each other
Busy movements mask my disappearance
As I wander to look for purpose
The people never notice
Everyone is too busy looking through life
To pay attention to a minor figure in the shadows
But in the crowds I lose what I knew
And I quickly join the crowds
Without questioning whether this shall stick 
But I fade completely
Looking for a faux purpose
When I had known what I was to be

Melted Silver

I have sat here
For what will have seemed
To be but one thousand years
Trying to phrase how I feel
But my tongue of silver
Melts to be recast later
When I try to utter a word
I think it's the way your hair falls
And the bony structure of your hands
So thin yet sturdy
As much as the intelligence gleaming
Behind the reflection in your eyes
And the witty sense of humour
Rolling like the waves from your mouth
But you turn my head to melted silver
Where I keep the words to describe you best
You melt my heart to a state of security
Where to you I will rest the worries of my head
And you recast my very being
Making me far greater than before
For it is in fact you
That I have fallen for

The Tale of the Sunflower

I sat there once upon a morning
Observing the world as it truly was
When the little whisper of a flower
Caused me to turn in awe
Where it was rooted longingly
Wishing for others to notice
That it was there
And it was alive but alas
They all stayed in their busy lives
And the flower cried at last
"Tis true I may be odd
And taller than the rest
But please give me a chance to shine
And I'll give it my best
For the lonely heart rooted within
Can only shrivel now
For rooted in me is a saddened heart
And to lighten it, I don't know how"
But no one except for I turned
Or even heard her song
And she bowed her head in defeat
And cried through the night long
Until the very morning next
The golden rays awoken
And the Sun lifted her face
In which these were spoken
"Darling girl please don't cry
They simply cannot see
That what lays within your very soul
Is extraordinary beauty
Let me here dry your tears
And stay forevermore
For I will listen to thee
And love you from shore to shore" 
I watched this very exchange
Which made her heart soar
And she now spends her time looking at him
With love older than folklore

More Poetry

How does one adequately
Measure the amount of worth someone
Has to them?
Does that task require every
Drop of water in existence throughout
Galaxies upon galaxies til far out space
And sand covering the seafloor to the
Smallest sandbox in a child's backyard?
Would one need to count every
Animal of every specie, discovered and unknown
Each and every strand of hair
Is everything in existence needed to be counted
To have an idea of what one's worth to another?
The task is daunting and long
 But to have an idea it must be done
Though it's far greater than that and the
Sum of their parts
To know how much you mean
To me
It's far greater than the strength of any storm
Or any problem thrown our way
For darling, I love you
Through all our days
And this may be too much to ask but
Do you  love me the same?

Insect in a Jar

 To be entirely honest to all
As mine his heart shall never be won
For free spirits cannot be captured by
A container so plain as I
Each time I gain an insect of a sort
Captured within my simple jar
Adding beauty and wonder to my thoughts
But against the sides they all fought
It seems to me that my life shan't resolve
In love of ye olden tales or it at all
My life is to be spent as a wandering soul
For of this jar I have no control
The bugs fly in to simply want out
If that's what romance is all about
I shall cast it up into the wind
Where the dice and cards will truly spin
Until my fate tumbles to the ground
Shattering my jar without a sound
For insects aren't meant to be trapped in glass
Because superficial looks won't always last
Insects are meant to fly free
And if it's true they'll return to thee
I cannot keep his heart in a jar
If I do he'll love another from afar
Sleep shall come and I'll wistfully dream
That he had eyes entirely for me

Oh Look A Poem {Cute}

To be called cute
Is to simplify everything I ever want to be
Down to basic attributes and personality quirks
Never have I wanted to be cute
All goals have been to burn down the world with my words
And memorize it with my smile
I dream to be able to remove problems of old
And start a society anew
Folding me down into cute
Cancels out all I ever wish
Never have I
Or will I
Pass to be labelled as cute.
Because I'm not
Nor will I ever be
I want to be beautiful
Beautiful people change lives for the better
And that's what I aspire to do
To change the norm
Inspire all around
And do what no one else is brave enough to do
But that seems to far fetched
I'm just a young girl from a small town
So call me cute if you will
It's better to be simplified
Than not at all
In this ever impressive world.

David {My Stories Have Lame Names}

     Truth be told, he was addictive. There was something about him always made me come back just for another word, another glance, another something. And I loved it. He was a little reckless, not always watching to see if he knocked over something in a person, but he was a major sweetheart and that was problematic in the long run. Crafting something beautiful but knocking it over and breaking parts of it wasn't the most stable way to do things, but that's beside the point. David was dear and that's all that mattered to me.

     "Hey Jonathan..." He would always start, no matter the conversation, whether it be about the weird sunburn on his back or how 'hella' the stars looked when Jadyn was manipulating space prints on her computer. "Hey Jonathan, I found this comic we wrote when we were kids. Take a look. My ironicness in it is killing me," he smirked and threw the flimsy graphic novel at my forehead, causing me to react with the weirdest face that I could conjure. "Fine. But it better not be another one of those ones where you would just take your bro's search history and print it up for me to read and get in trouble for."

     I glanced at the book in my hands. 'Rockin' Superheroes in Pajamas'. Great. The memory of writing this began playing through my head, but I still opened it and began reading. Upon reaching the last page, I began to laugh. "David, this wasn't originally here," I managed to get out between fits of laughter. He turned bright red for a second, before regaining composure and smirking. "I just thought that this kid book needed something to liven it up. And I did. It's great." "David the last page is literally just us making out in brightly covered pajamas while that troll dude stands behind us throwing up." "Great, right?" I rolled my eyes. "Come here, you nerd," I said to him whilst pulling him closer to me. "Come here." "God, I'm already here." "Shut up." And I kissed David, he turning it into the best thing I've ever done in the middle of his family room. But neither of us noticed as the meteors began falling outside our window, coming closer and closer to the house we were in.

You're Getting What I Promised {Charlotte}

     To think the stars were blossoming into something greater for the both of us was wrong. I knew deep down that the affection I felt towards her would be never returned, but yet I still chose to ignore it. Doing so was easier on nights like this, where we would just sit on the porch, iced tea in hand, and talk about nothing and everything. "Charlotte," I started, smiling slightly from a name as beautiful as such that only traced the beauty of the girl herself. "Charlotte, what do you reckon is hidden out there? Behind the clouds, beneath the sea, out in space?" She just about laughed, for I asked this question every night to her, and her answer was always the same. "I don't know, Alyssa. What do you think?" I turned to her, taking in her in all, wisdom and intelligence along with her round green eyes hidden beneath brown curls and freckles. "Oh Char, just beauty. Extraordinary beauty."

     She pulled me up, somehow strong being the short and round girl she was, and looked up at me. "Come dance," and she dragged me along, to the small bridge over the river. "Char, there's something different about you, what are you doing?" I was completely aware that this wasn't the behaviour of her usual self- Charlotte was a shy girl who was completely infatuated with the farm boy down the road. But I still didn't try hard enough to figure out what was happening. All I ever wanted was in front of me, and I wasn't the type to try to fight it away. "Oh dear Alyssa, just dance. It's all fine. Dance with me." And I obeyed. We swayed underneath the stars, I managing to tune out all noises about, including the slight susurrus that grew into something larger. Like a giant fly or mosquito coming for the blood of two girls in the night. But I still didn't care even though it should've told me something was up. Suddenly, the noise stopped and the land was filled with an eerie silence. And Charlotte, oh dear Charlotte, was being dragged away by two alien things in handcuffs. "Oh Lady Rancardin, you're under arrest for the murder of the High Priestess, and for resisting arrest." And that was the last thing I saw before they knocked me out.
