One breath of spring
Clouds and mingles in the air
A touch of the summer
So early in the year
The ground barely frozen solid
The fallen trees in frost
The broken fences lay
Watching the leaves silent, fallen
The moon glittering high
The stars crisp and clear
The wind barely sways
The world frozen still
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
Yes, some of these are varied versions of each other
As the moon hangs
It’s one and only head
To gaze upon a frozen place
That sheds its colors to gray
It shines upon the
Snow-less ground
Covered in decaying leaves
And fallen fences
Streams are still and
Frozen until the spring
And fallen trees lay
Dying in the earth
A spark pf spring
A golden gleam
A breath of summer
Only a taste of what to come
It’s one and only head
To gaze upon a frozen place
That sheds its colors to gray
It shines upon the
Snow-less ground
Covered in decaying leaves
And fallen fences
Streams are still and
Frozen until the spring
And fallen trees lay
Dying in the earth
A spark pf spring
A golden gleam
A breath of summer
Only a taste of what to come
December
A moon bright
High
Above the stars crisp and
Clear
In the winter night
Hush
The colors gray but
Still
Beauty lingers in
Fragments
Left behind forgotten
Now
High
Above the stars crisp and
Clear
In the winter night
Hush
The colors gray but
Still
Beauty lingers in
Fragments
Left behind forgotten
Now
Once upon a year gone by
A hole forever wide
A year
Fulfilled a moment more
A moment left
In paradise
A fragment left
To shatter
[Newer version]
A moment left in paradise
A year gone by dead
The past awakened once again
Turning futures dark ahead
Blinded by confusion
Still tempted by false light
Follow in to darkness
As it slips out of sight
Back to whence one started
Memories new and old
Collide with lives remade
As one’s heart turns forever cold
A year
Fulfilled a moment more
A moment left
In paradise
A fragment left
To shatter
[Newer version]
A moment left in paradise
A year gone by dead
The past awakened once again
Turning futures dark ahead
Blinded by confusion
Still tempted by false light
Follow in to darkness
As it slips out of sight
Back to whence one started
Memories new and old
Collide with lives remade
As one’s heart turns forever cold
That day
Silence in the dark
The cold night air
Hugs the earth
The quiet deepens with
The arrival of the
Moons light
But awkward it never was
Nor ever will be
A stream that bubbles
Not far away
From fallen trees
Broken fences, decaying
Leaves and damp soil
Colors were bright
But turned gray with winter
But even during the silent
Hours of a day
The light forever shines
On the place so far
Away
The cold night air
Hugs the earth
The quiet deepens with
The arrival of the
Moons light
But awkward it never was
Nor ever will be
A stream that bubbles
Not far away
From fallen trees
Broken fences, decaying
Leaves and damp soil
Colors were bright
But turned gray with winter
But even during the silent
Hours of a day
The light forever shines
On the place so far
Away
This is deep...real deep
Soft and smooth
Connects
With sharp and silver
Crimson
Pools within creases
Pain
Pulls everything clear
In focus
Memories numb and fade
Scars
Remain to remind
Freedom
From the pain inside
One
Moment in time to
Breathe.

No title
How can one be so loved
And yet be so alone
Never have I felt this so strong
Like something echoed unknown
I can’t be my own best friend
I can’t truly trust the rest
I am over the brim with
Unsaid thoughts that leave me stressed
Do all people act like this?
It seems everywhere they do.
No one to help me out
Or comfort one through
Fine, I’ll find a way
I promise you I will
To find a way to cope along
Even if you all stay still
And yet be so alone
Never have I felt this so strong
Like something echoed unknown
I can’t be my own best friend
I can’t truly trust the rest
I am over the brim with
Unsaid thoughts that leave me stressed
Do all people act like this?
It seems everywhere they do.
No one to help me out
Or comfort one through
Fine, I’ll find a way
I promise you I will
To find a way to cope along
Even if you all stay still
Too much to ask
I am useless
A shadow in the air
Unless someone needs a friend
A whistle and I’m there
I have wants and wishes
But I do never dare
Ever breathe a word of them
Because no one seems to care
Silently, I help those who
Ask me favors, large or small
No matter how long they’ll
Keep me up; I swear to do them all
Once I tried to ask
A favor of my own
A mistake, top busy, too much
I see I’m standing alone
A shadow in the air
Unless someone needs a friend
A whistle and I’m there
I have wants and wishes
But I do never dare
Ever breathe a word of them
Because no one seems to care
Silently, I help those who
Ask me favors, large or small
No matter how long they’ll
Keep me up; I swear to do them all
Once I tried to ask
A favor of my own
A mistake, top busy, too much
I see I’m standing alone
Where once they stood (both versions)
Where once they stood
A silence stands
Where once they stood
A still that never shatters
A chill forever lingers
A cloud forever hovers
Above where once they stood
The rain will never fall again
The sun will never shine
Where the shadows of them stand
Colors have all drained away
Everything is black and white and I am
The only one left where they once stood
Pictures of their faces
Memories of smiles fade into nothing more
Where once they stood
Where once they stood #2
A silence stands
Where once they stood
A still that never shatters
Gray dust falling
Right into place
Because nothing matters
What happened here
Remains forgotten
The truth forever untold
But here was I
Where once they stood
With colors bright and bold
Friendships, laughter filled with glee
Fragments of the past
Forgotten ashes left in space
Although I live
Where once they stood
It is an empty place

Breaking Free
Without fear
Without care
I spread my wings
I fly away
Nothing ahead
Nothing left behind
Just air
Just me
Without anyone
Alone, unarmed
Unafraid
The still of the night
Surrounds me
Breaking Free #2
Wanting to take a dare
Needing to break free
Afraid of losing myself
And losing thoughts
Daring to step forward
I take a shuddery breath
Hoping it’s not a mistake
Or another trap I must fight
Despite the constant feeling
Of being caught and trapped
Of not being able to escape
I know I can start again
Without fear
Without care
I spread my wings
I fly away
Nothing ahead
Nothing left behind
Just air
Just me
Without anyone
Alone, unarmed
Unafraid
The still of the night

Love and Death
Love and Death
I’d take back all those things I said
Just for you and me to know how it really was
I should have realized, but I didn’t know
What you really meant
And now each day I need you more
As the darkness razes my black soul
Tears of sorrow, tears of pain
But never tears of joy
Call out from the dungeon of my mind
“Nothing can save you now”
Feel the pressure closing me in, like I’m about to snap
Realize I may not have taken the last chance I’ll ever have

Virus: Return of Mechalynn
Rage inside me swells
As one thousand lost souls
Rise to the surface
I speak their name
Their purpose,
But bear none as my own
I am merely a reflection
Of blood in a pool of tears
Reminding us only of pain
Shared in the bygone days
Of a dream

Emergency Poem
I wrote this REALLY quick...just so I would have something non-personal if I needed it....
In the distance
Just out of reach
A cathedral stands
Catching the rays
Of the morning sun
Just one glimpse
Of the stark white walls
Before the trees
Hide it from
Our eyes and disappears
The sky so pale
Bright with dawn
The world still asleep
The moon still high
The sky alights
The cathedral now
Only a memory
A split second in time
The cross above catching the
Sun, as we drove by

Also, a little while ago
There are so many memories
In my past that insist
To forever haunt my mind
With things that don’t exist
There are things in my past
I wish to forever forget
But still they replay over
In shadows they lurk and sit
Despite the happiness I feel
They refuse to go away
They continue to nag and pull
On my mind, everyday
I avoid sleep like the plague
For fear of the nightmares
That continue to play themselves
Yet, my eyes reflect the mirrors
I continue to be someone
That I only pretend to be
Yet somehow no matter what I do
That person is still me

Echo's Prison
The house is dark
The windows small
The exits barred
The silence tall
Cameras watch
My every move
Monitors record
My every mood
I sit I stare
Talking not
My thoughts run wild
They’re all I’ve got
I wait and listen
For any sound
Of any being but
No one’s around
An empty house
These prison walls
I’m free to roam
Only through these halls
The windows small
The exits barred
The silence tall
Cameras watch
My every move
Monitors record
My every mood
I sit I stare
Talking not
My thoughts run wild
They’re all I’ve got
I wait and listen
For any sound
Of any being but
No one’s around
An empty house
These prison walls
I’m free to roam
Only through these halls
From Tilla, much love
Laugh if you will at this. I have never been on stage or in a band in my entire life. Which, I must say is a very long time. Maybe I will give it a shot...someday.
But for now, let's look at my poem, even though I have have once experienced it, I used my imagination.
Bright lights spark
Anticipation
Our one chance
To win the nation
The song begins
He takes a breath
It’s hard to hear
Above the rest
His song is short
And I am next
The guitar in my hands
To sing with the best
Before I know it
The stage is mine
I sing alone
Until her time
We take our turns
Singing to the crowd
Our hearts beat fast
The music loud
They scream and cheer
The want more
Beads of sweat fall
And hit the floor
We take our bow
Before our break
To prepare for the play
Where energy is fake
Our two minutes over
We take a stand
We sing our songs
Hand in hand
Side by side we are
Our show almost done
But we must keep it up
Until the very last one
Costume changes
Our final act
We are pumped up
Our hearts race fast
We sing it loud
We give it all
Breathless we are
But we’ve had a ball
The night not yet over
We take out bow
It’s time to dance
Not settle down
We leave the stage
And find a place
Just to dance together
Before we leave without a trace
Our hearts begin to slow
Our minds start to unwind
We cannot cease our yawning
So tired, we are blind
Finally exhausted
We fall into bed
The sweat sticky and dry
The memory fresh in our head
So as the night dies
And we fall into our beds
Falling fast asleep the
Memories dancing through our heads

I apologize
I apologize
For the things I might have done
For the things that may have hurt you
I apologize
With my whole heart
Because now I know it was true
Even if it’s over
And you want to forget
I still want to
Apologize
For the times I made you upset
It takes two to make something work
And two to tear it apart
So I hope that you will
Forgive me
Before a fresh new start
This may be the final poem
I write about me and you
But I know that a part of me
Will always, forever, love you

More from Lilac
I found these in a secret hiding place in Lilac's room.
They are from a year ago OUR time...so sad...I feel bad for her. Anyway.
When I get a moment
Just me alone with thought
I long to see your face again
A picture’s all I’ve got
It stares at me from behind
The silky glass frame
It taunts me with its smile
It taunts me with your name
I can not find the words
To begin to cover what’s my heart
Or any of this feeling
I feel when we’re apart
Something about you caught my eye
The first day that we met
I knew that there was something
A feeling I didn’t get
It took a while to believe it
But now I feel that it’s true
After questioning for many nights
I really do love you

Really don't remember writing these
Eh...these look old...so...I don't know
As I stare into the clock
Frustration in me builds
I must know when I’ll see him again
The mere thought gives me chills
I thought I’d never feel
This way ever again
And maybe it’s not yet as strong
But I need to let him in
I fear not only for my heart
But also for his, as well
Because he’s all I think about
As this love inside me swells
I feel like taking this chance
Because this is love I know
And all I pray is hopefully
God won’t make him go

Once more
He holds me close to him
His arms around my waist
I hug him as tightly back
My memories before erased
I pry myself away
Just enough to see his eyes
He softly smiles at me
His expression kind and wise
I wrap my arms around his neck
As he holds me closer still
Our cheeks touch, side by side
If not yet, love could kill
Swiftly he turns his face
Towards mine, our lips collide
Forever it seems we stand like so
For time we try to abide
Like feathers swept across ones hand
He touches my left cheek
I gaze into his eyes again
Because I can not speak

Totally random
Feeling safe inside his arms
As he holds me close
He softly strokes my hair
And I begin doze
Far away I hear cartoons
But I concentrate on his heart
The constant rhythm in my ears
I hear even when we’re apart
I close my eyes to memorize
The smell, the taste, the touch
Of every moment with him
For time races by in a rush
I do not want to move
And no one makes me try
His hand gently traces my face
And stops below my eye
I softly smile, but stay still
Only holding him tight
Gently there he kisses my head
Before saying goodnight
Slowly I stand on my feet
As he reaches for my hand
He has a loving look
As if things went as planned

Last one for today: By Echo
The silent whispers of the wind
Call me into flight
I can not sit here inside
Just listening to the night
I spread my wings and fly away
Into a cool summer breeze
That whistles as it makes its way
Through the Forest trees
Everything is silent
Save the beating of my wings
I close my eyes a moment
As the night bird sings
I follow the sound of water
To a sandy shore
Where the moon above the water
Reflects like nothing seen before
As the sun begins to rise
I prepare to leave
Flying is such a magic gift
That no one would believe
Hope you enjoyed the millions of poems. lol
Tilla Ophelia Marsh
Good Afternoon. Until Tomorrow.

Recent stuff from Lilac
No matter how much space
Time will put between
My heart refuses to let my mind
Forget what it has seen
Although I have long forgiven
The betrayals of my past
My heart has kept things hidden
Which it’s showing me at last
I can’t forget the eyes
I looked upon with love
A fire between us so strong
Pulsing though our blood
*died with the mourning dove
What started out as truth
And burned down with lies
A love and fired smothered down
A song that with the wind dies
*An echo of love that dies
Never will his face of love
Nor his face of deceit
Leave this sight behind my eyes
Or his memories in the street
*as his memory continues to play in the street
As I look into the face
The one I’ve grown to care
I see the one before him
Caught within my stare
* Instead, standing there

Dedicated to Echo
It took so long to heal
My bleeding aching heart
So long I’d thought time had forgotten
To give me a fresh start
But slowly they’ve awakened
My senses bloom again
I see that life is beautiful
And it’s been fogged by pain
But now the pain has faded
All memories of the past
Will remain somewhat forgotten
So my heart can live at last
So take your cruel comments
Your whispers behind my back
Just take it all and build it up
*You’ll be the one it will attack
I don’t care what you’ll say
“Cause no one can bring me down
I am going to smile
Because all you do is frown

The Apple
Small enough to hold
In the palm of your hand
Blood red, glossy, slightly bruised
As it catches the light in the room
Symbolisms in fairy tales and tales of old
A fruit to stay away from
Forbidden or filled with poison
One would only have to risk
With its taste of vibrancy
A crispy, juicy crunch
The sweetness of it inside
Is enough to make on melt
Falling from trees so high in the sky
Tumbling to the ground
One apple is enough for me
As I hold it in the palm of my hand

I stare across the distance
Through the fog of time
I see two children staring
In a mirror that once was mine
They sat alone together
Not saying a single word
A tissue box between them
I suppose that they were bored
But she had just moved in
The house across the street
I was young and just real shy
And I stared only at her feet
We became friends that day
And continue to be still
We’ve been though thick and thin
‘Cause some friendships can’t be killed
We played countless games of ding-dong ditch
And sledded off the walls
We told each other ghost stories
And even played with dolls
We climbed up a bunch of trees
And rode our bikes a lot
We sometimes lost our balance
Or tripped over loose rocks
We picked up bugs
And sometimes gave them names
At sleepovers we snuck downstairs
And drew pictured for tiny frames
We talked to older neighbors
Alice, Doris, and Boo
And once we thought this woman
Turned Joe into a monkey too!
Both of us were in swim team
Only she was so much better
She was the athletic one
I was just the writer
Even though time has put
Miles of space to split us friends
We’ve written letters back and forth
Because we’ll be friends until the end
Emily Marie Alexander
Through the fog of time

They sat alone together
Not saying a single word
A tissue box between them
I suppose that they were bored
But she had just moved in
The house across the street
I was young and just real shy
And I stared only at her feet
We became friends that day
And continue to be still
We’ve been though thick and thin
‘Cause some friendships can’t be killed
We played countless games of ding-dong ditch
And sledded off the walls
We told each other ghost stories
And even played with dolls
We climbed up a bunch of trees
And rode our bikes a lot
We sometimes lost our balance
Or tripped over loose rocks
We picked up bugs
And sometimes gave them names
At sleepovers we snuck downstairs
And drew pictured for tiny frames
We talked to older neighbors
Alice, Doris, and Boo
And once we thought this woman
Turned Joe into a monkey too!
Both of us were in swim team
Only she was so much better
She was the athletic one
I was just the writer
Even though time has put
Miles of space to split us friends
We’ve written letters back and forth
Because we’ll be friends until the end
Emily Marie Alexander
A poem from Celedae
YAY! I get to be included too. Alrighty. Well, I was sort of MIA when I wrote this, so these should all be new to you, but these were written in Novemeber. November 8th of the thrid age...uh...2007, to be exact
(I have many different copies of the same poem. I am not as good at poetry as some of the others...but here)
This poem is dedicated to a human friend of mine, who fell in love with an elf...
He saw her in a crowded place
The angel with the eyes that wouldn't see
Whose heart was filled with the love
Of another, who held the key
He pushed his way through to her
Despite his tiny chance
He tried to get her to see him and
Snap out of her deadly trace
However she refused him
Yet, he tried to save her from the pain
She let him in to be her friend
But his efforts were in vain.
A warrior, he went off to battle
And in a fight he died
And the women he so deeply loved
So proud, never even cried
That was the first one...here's the longer version
He met her on a crowded day
A girl with love written on her face
She seemed so awkward standing there
So Lost and out of place
Yet she was also lost in thought
Dreaming she were far away
With someone who she loved a lot
And wondering how he was today
He saw the silver heart and he knew
His chance with her was slim
‘Cause her hear was set on someone else
And he knew it wasn’t him
Still he called upon her
Everyday since they met
Just so he could hear her voice
And share each other’s secrets
The summer finally came to them
And he could finally see her
Despite the fact she had a boyfriend
They made plans to go out to dinner
Right be fore he left again
He brought flowers to her door
He woke her up from her sleep
But she let him in, like the day before
The clock suddenly betrayed him
And soon he had to go
He took her hand and stood to leave
When an idea [the moment] struck him with a blow
They walked together to the door
And as they were saying their goodbyes
He bent down and kissed her
Shock clearly in her eyes
He felt her tense with a little bit of fear
And he worried he’d gone too far
When she tiptoed up to kiss him back
Before the impulse left a scar
Suddenly soon after
She stopped answering her phone
And if he got a hold of her,
She always had to go
Weeks later he got ahold of her
But when she picked up the phone
Her voice was cold and quiet
And she sounded so alone
She told him she had let him go
And he’d just walked away
The love that she had cherished so
Had ended to wrong way
After that she’d stopped communicating
And started pushing everyone away
She was losing all her friends
But he decided he would stay
Finally her broken heart woke up
Although she felt so cold
A small sliver of light helped her live
And turn the pain to gold
And yet he stayed there for her
Even though he got mad
Because she wouldn’t talk to him
But he knew that she’d been sad
Because he sat and waited for her
To just move on from a broken heart
She knew at least one friend would listen
No matter how far apart
Even though her heart was scarred
And sometimes she felt the pain
She hoped that this friend of hers
Would help her trust again

Note from the Author of the Poem: I can not believe that I am actually letting Tilla post these........not like he really even remembers any of this stuff...because technically it never existed...but yes these were a long time ago. Years and years for me...only nearly two years for you...enjoy.
So many things were left unsaid
So many things I wish you knew
Tell me things so I can understand
Because our love was so true
But first let me tell you
All you need to know
Before you break my heart again
With your icy word of snow
I’ve told you that I’d love you
Always, I’d be true
But now some things are different
And it’s all because of you
Everyday I struggle in
The fog that’s smothered me
And everyday the pain inside
Makes it hard to breathe
And every smile you might see
I try so hard to fake
Because I don’t want you to see
My heart continue to break.

I lay in bed awake
Like a thousand times before
I think of how we all used to be
A stray tear hits the floor
I struggle with the memories
That cease to make me smile
Instead they make me hurt inside
And curl up like a child
But it’s for the best, I guess
And I should just let it go
Everything I’ve tried was useless
Because it died so long ago
Somehow I have to except the fact
That all things come and go
And our friendship wasn’t meant to last
Because it wouldn’t let us go
But finally I see so clear
The love behind it all
Behind the betrayal and lies
The caused us all to fall
In the dark, I close my eyes
And the sleep that was forbidden
Wraps me tight within its arms at last
And the betrayal I felt, I have forgiven.

What Now?
The heart that beats within my chest
Begins to pound with fear
Everything is going to change
As I wipe away a tear
Just the thought of all the secrets
The betrayal and the lies
Makes my stomach knot and churn
And my heart bleed and cry.
Everything comes crashing down
My paradise is at an end
Everything was an illusion
No matter what, he’s still my friend
He means more to me than I can say
And I’ve loved him from the start
But my heart it splitting into two
As everyone tries to tear us apart
First my dying past flies by
My memories all in a rush
The long dead friendships
And trios turned to dust
I sigh and shiver without cold
And I think of all that’s been
And in my heart I realize
How much I truly love him

Promise me
Lilac Ann Black
A promise made so long ago
So fresh within my mind
A written piece of friendship
That’s torn and aged with time
Promise me you’ll never leave
No matter what they say
Promise me we’ll always be
And forever stay this way
Promise me you won’t let go
With a kiss upon my cheek
Hold me tight and let us hope
That time, perhaps, is weak.
Say you’ll love me forever
But only if it’s true
That nothing will tear us apart
Because our love is true
Say this nightmare isn’t happening
But, I will wake to find you here
A promise whispered so soft
And yet my heart is filled with fear.
(Also 2006-2007. My guess, Summer of ’07)

Fear of Losing you
By Lilac Ann Black
My eyes are dry from lack of sleep
My cheeks burn from salty tears
The bloody knife stuck in my back
To remind me of my fears
A shadow hides in every room
Staring at me in the dark
It bares its teeth, threatening to shatter
The love that’s in my heart
So many things that make love strong
That has tried to make us weak
So many people blinded by society
Don’t realize our love is what they seek
Betrayal stands and guards the door
As Secrets pulls me down
Lies is whispering in my ear
And I can’t make a sound
But no matter what happens
Or what anyone says, I know
In my heart, that the two of us
Will always find a way to stay together so
(One of the last poems she wrote in her time...before her time travelling happened. I think this was written in 2006-2007…possibly after February 26, 2007. Maybe in the beginning of the summer, possibly afterwards)

I gaze up into his eyes
A soft and kind color blue
As I ask a mental question
To which the answer I already knew
His hand reaches out
And holds mine within his grasp
He gazes down upon me
Leaving questions never asked
I’m scared to look away
I don’t want to ever let go
So I fold myself in his arms
Maybe so he’ll know
I want to love him
With everything I’ve got
But it’s such a gamble
For such a wishful thought
I push my thoughts away
As I hold onto him tight
His arms holding me closer
As we listen to the night

Introducing Julian Starkey
Before you read the poem, I seriously wanted to say
THIS POEM IS AWESOME...(so are yours Saphire/Radar and Storm...)
The Last Tenderness
By Julien Starkey
My Bestest Brother in the Whole Wide World <3<3<3<3
I love this guy lol
At the very first glance
I thought she would give me one last chance
It was such a beautiful romance
Until I was stabbed with a lance
Cry baby cry, no
Words of love still echo
I think I’m going loco
I’m no longer a friend, I’m a foe
I’ve lost my girl
She was my world
The beauty of her curls
Her face immaculate as a pearl
Since those days, my life turned tragic
It sure gave me a big kick
I am no longer her pick
All there is is a silent lyric
Julien has his own blog: Go to it!

Radar/Saphire's Poems
Some are Radar's and some are Saphire's
Ray just sent them to me. I am not sure which is which.
I am asuming these are from 07-08...
"Leave Me Be"
You claim to love me and want whats best,
Yet you won't even let me rest.
Why can't you see that I've grown up,
I'm no longer your little pup.
I've been in pain and seen much sorrow,
Yet I'll still get up with the sun tomorrow.
You need to learn to let go,
Let me deal with my own woe.
I know I may make mistakes,
But I need to learn when to turn on the brakes.
Please, I beg you!
Get a clue!
Let me choose my own path,
Or you may release my wrath.
"What I Seek"
Each and every day I search and search,
As everyone watches from their high perch.
What do I seek? I really don't know,
This search only seems to cause me more woe.
What I seek can not be named,
Nor can it really even be claimed.
It's not a place, it's not a thing,
But when I find it, there'll be reason to sing.
"Why I Cry"
People ask me why I cry,
But the truth is...I don't know why.
I think it has something to do with what's bottled up inside,
My family never seems to be by my side.
I hide away in my mind,
I dream that I am among my own kind.
Why does everyone seem to be,
Always and forever against me?
All of this sorrow that I feel,
Is always hidden behind a seal.
Why do I cry? I think it's easy,
Though it may sound a little cheesy.
I cry for my pain.
I cry for my sorrow.
I cry for whats to come tomorrow.
"A Special Place"
As I look at the sky,
I see the clouds drift by.
As I watch, my mind slowly wanders
To a place where many a girl someday ponders.
It's a place of magic, a place of dreams,
A place where there are no winning teams.
But each girl's is different in its own special way,
It could be a beautiful bay,
A meadow of flowers,
Or maybe even a place where one can have super powers.
Different they all may be, but in some way they stay the same,
For like a young girl's mind, none of these magic worlds are tame.
What's mine like you ask?
Explaining it's a simple task.
My world is one like no other,
Where one can change into another.
It's a place of magic, a place to be free,
It's a place where I can be me.
"My Time to be Free"
Speeding through the sea,
With just the ocean and me.
I feel the wind in my hair.
I haven't a care,
It's like I'm flying through the air.
I look around, as far as the eye can see,
There is glittering water all around me.
I smile and laugh as the boat jumps,
I don't even care about all the bruises and bumps.
This is my time to dare, my time to fly,
My time to watch the rocks zoom by.
Once I leave, there will be no time to go my speed,
I'll return to a place where I must follow another's lead.
"My Mask"
I wear a mask on the outside
And set my tears aside.
I smile, but it doesn't reach my eyes,
Out of my mouth comes white lies.
Tortured when I was young,
I put on a tough girl mask,
To complete a simple task.
Be see as strong, not as weak,
But my emotions are at there peak.
How much longer will I last?
I've been strong in the past,
But a girl can only take so much,
Before she becomes to fragile to touch.
"Why?"
I wish I could say that I'm happy as the days go by,
But that would be the biggest lie.
I yearn for adventure and someone to love,
I wish to no longer feel like a caged dove.
I feel like I'm trapped in a place with no love,
I bet death's hand would fit like a glove.
Why can't anyone see through my smile
And see the soul that pain defiles?
I am different, I have grown up,
But all this pain, I've had enough.
Ray just sent them to me. I am not sure which is which.
I am asuming these are from 07-08...
"Leave Me Be"
You claim to love me and want whats best,
Yet you won't even let me rest.
Why can't you see that I've grown up,
I'm no longer your little pup.
I've been in pain and seen much sorrow,
Yet I'll still get up with the sun tomorrow.

Tomorrow
I will post the BEST one tomorrow.
I must leave. I have to meet Jasken and Ash...at twilight. It's far from here and will take me awhile to get there.
Good Night.

Time
Time
The clock is ticking by so slow
But the day flies by so fast
I am alert with every sound
For the bell to ring at last
The nerves inside my stomach
Make it scream and squirm
I want to express this feeling
As I struggle in class to learn
I guess I knew that one day
The secret would slip out
But all that’s left inside me
Is fear, anger and doubt
What happens to one’s heart?
When everything falls through
And love just isn’t strong enough
To pull you through, too
Lilac Ann Black- Feb. 07
~~Note from TIlla: You can see how suddenly the tones of her poemschange...am I right?

Awkwardness
Awkwardness
I feel kind of awkward
I wonder if you do
Knowing that they saw us
And Lied about it, too
We agreed to keep it secret
To never tell them the truth
But I suppose that didn’t work
Hopefully, in the end we won’t have to choose
They are all our friends
And we care about them, too
But, darling, promise that you’ll love me
And that we’ll make it through
I know they’ll start their teasing
Their whispers and their lies
Will you love me and trust my heart enough
And make sure our love will rise?
I never want to lose you
It would kill me if I do
So don’t let them trick your heart away
Because you know I’ll be true
I pray this won’t affect us
And we’ll continue right on through
‘Cause I feel your heart was made for mine
And I mine was made for you.

Will you love me and trust my heart enough
And make sure our love will rise?
I never want to lose you
It would kill me if I do
So don’t let them trick your heart away
Because you know I’ll be true
I pray this won’t affect us
And we’ll continue right on through
‘Cause I feel your heart was made for mine
And I mine was made for you.

Good Afternoon To all
MORE POEMS
So long it’s been
So many months of secrets
Betraying and the lies
So long we’ve sat in shadows
Trying so hard to hide
For longer than expected
Yet shorter than desired
We were able to keep it secret
But for us the time expired
They whispered and they plotted
And then they heard the scream
They followed the snowy footprints
That led them to our stream
I thought I saw them move
A tree branch start to shudder
But I just ignored it
Just the wind which made it flutter

Done for the day
Tomorrow I will be posting Lilac's poems from February of '07...HER 2007 anyway.
Then I will search Echo's room for some because I know s he writes them and I am sure Lilac has some more hidden away. I will write more later.
But for now, I must practice my piano because I haven't since last week and the piano teacher may get cross with me. (I didn't practice last week either)
So I must leave, for now.

Daddy's Poem
Her hair was up in a pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
and she couldn't wait to go.
But her mommy tried to tell her,
that she probably should stay home
Why the kids might not understand,
if she went to school alone.
But she was not afraid;
she knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today.
But still her mother worried,
for her to face this day alone.
And that was why once again,
she tried to keep her daughter home..
But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls.
There were daddies along the wall in back,
for everyone to meet.
Children squirming impatiently,
anxious in their seats
One by one the teacher called a student from the class.
To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.
At last the teacher called her name,
every child turned to stare.
Each of them was searching,
a man who wasn't there.
'Where's her daddy at?'
She heard a boy call out.
'She probably doesn't have one,'
another student dared to shout.
And from somewhere near the back,
she heard a daddy say,
'Looks like another deadbeat dad,
too busy to waste his day.
The words did not offend her,
as she smiled up at her Mom.
And looked back at her teacher,
who told her to go on.
And with hands behind her back,
slowly she began to speak.
And out from the mouth of a child,
came words incredibly unique.
'My Daddy couldn't be here,
because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
since this is such a special day.
And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
and how much he loves me so.
He loved to tell me stories
he taught me to ride my bike
He surprised me with pink roses,
and taught me to fly a kite.
We used to share fudge sundaes,
and ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him.
I'm not standing here alone.
'Cause my daddy's always with me,
even though we are apart
I know because he told me,
he'll forever be in my heart'
With that, her little hand reached up,
and lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat,
beneath her favorite dress.
And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads,
her mother stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter,
who was wise beyond her years.
For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life.
Doing what was best for her,
doing what was right.
And when she dropped her hand back down,
staring straight into the crowd.
She finished with a voice so soft,
but its message clear and loud.
'I love my daddy very much,
he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here,
but heaven's just too far.
You see he is a Marine and died just this past year
When a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught Americans to fear.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away.
And then she closed her eyes,
and saw him there that day.
And to her mother's amazement,
she witnessed with surprise.
A room full of daddies and children,
all starting to close their eyes.
Who knows what they saw before them,
who knows what they felt inside
Perhaps for merely a second,
they saw him at her side.
'I know you're with me Daddy,'
to the silence she called out.
And what happened next made believers,
of those once filled with doubt.
Not one in that room could explain it,
for each of their eyes had been closed.
But there on the desk beside her,
was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.
And a child was blessed,
if only for a moment,
by the love of her shining star.
And given the gift of believing,
that heaven is never too far.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person
an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them,
but then an entire life to forget them.

Jsut a touching poem for you to read
Deep down
Deep within her soul
Beneath her icy surface
Lies a heart of gold
It stays there for a purpose
You see, her hearts been broken
A thousand times before
Too many times I’ve seen her
Pick up pieces from the floor
But no matter how strong
She thinks that she may be
Somehow she’s got it all wrong
She’s as fragile as can be
However she tries to hide it
It shows within her eyes
The thousand dreams been broken
By all the thousand lies
I love her anyway
Despite her human flaws
Because she means the world to me
And obeys the friendship laws
Though she’ll never love me back
For sure I know
Because she is a wounded dove
Left out bleeding in the snow
-Kevin about Fauna (again)
Kevin can get a little sappy...

This was a school assignment: 06-07
Haikus:
Filled with stormy clouds
The rain filled sky darkens as
Colors mix and churn
Raindrops fall softly
Whispering they fall, they are
Diamonds from the sky
Free Verse:
The Secret Storm
Clouds are silent spirits
Filled with mysteries
The raindrops are their secrets
That they try to whisper to the ground
No one can hear them
Only soft whispers of a sound
Above the noisy thunder
Their secrets stay best untold
Next time the sky rains down
If you listen close
You might here them whisper
Their mysterious secrets
And my own time
The clouds are silent spirits
They send whispers in the rain
The gentle breeze that carries them
Is filled with love and pain
The clouds, they send their secrets
They send their mystery
To the ground in raindrops
Where they break free
Secrets are all around us
They creep silently in the night
They travel down the gutter
Until the morning light
But as soon as they hit the ground
And the sun comes out to play
The whispers and the secrets
Evaporate away

She once was-November 2006
She once was
She was so tough and silent
Her heart a solid wall
Who knew that they would
Make it crash and fall
The day she found them
Standing side-by-side
She could feel the friendship
Beginning to arise
She never even noticed
That the wall was falling down
Until she almost lost them
And her heart she had found
She knew she shouldn’t love them
She knew it wouldn’t last
‘Cause something always happened
And time flew by to fast
But no matter how she tried
She couldn’t tear herself apart
From them, her two best friends
After they mended her heart

~I think this is about herself...she talks in third person i know...
Tilla Ophelia Marsh
Yes, this is about me...the trio...my friends...who don't exist anymore because Saphire and I are freakin insane and we changed the future...

Fauna-November '06
Fauna
The sunlight shines
And turns the leaves to
Golden in her hair
I stare at her in wonder
She was sent
To me
From heaven
As I look into the sky
I thank the stars
Above me
For the sacrifice
That they
Have made to send
This angel to the
Earth to show
Me that love could be mine
-Kevin, about Fauna
(Good friends of mine...)

Clueless-November 2006
Every beat of my heart
Makes me think of you
The many memories torn apart
The dreams are broken too
The fog of pain begins to clear
The memory becomes a stain
And now I see between the love and fear
A time when only you were here
I must forget your clear blue eyes
I must forget your smile
I must be deaf to the dove’s cries
And walk an extra mile
I need to get away from you
Moving on through time
But them memory just won’t stop playing
And the dove won’t stop crying
I won’t admit I love you
Tell you I’m in pain
Instead I try to hide it
Like the desserts hide the rain
Because your not who you were
When our love was true
You’ve changed so much in many ways
That now I don’t even know you
Lilac Ann Black
~~Um...this was a LONG time ago.......long long long time ago...techniquely it was just a long ago because it has no time to it...this time doesn't exist anymore...never mind...that's confusing...

Story of my life-November 2006
Where should I start?
Being so alone
So many confusing clues
Find me far from home
First the broken heart
A strong friendship bond begins
As soon as it comes it falls apart
As we all struggle to be friends
Warning signs were everywhere
Fate written on our souls
Then I got the letters
Saying I have been told
First the friend I couldn’t trust
Then the only one who could save me
Last one telling me it wasn’t over yet
And there’s so much more coming
And me trying so hard
To keep my heart shut
Afraid to love again
Afraid of being cut
They don’t know it yet
But they’ve attacked my heart
I couldn’t live without them I bet
Only now it’s become an art
Trying to keep our souls up
Trying to stay together
They don’t understand or see
The scars there forever
We’ve lied, killing each other
Softly with deceit
Talking behind each others backs
Tiptoeing with bleeding feet
We’re different with each other
Than we are with everyone else
We think we know each other
Inside out, do they know my heart melts?
We tell each other secrets
Telling them to another
Who changed them into rumors
And I duck for cover
People wound and scar us
Try to tear us apart
We almost kill each other yet
Somehow we are linked by the heart
Lilac Ann Black
~Um Yeah, I, Lilac, would like to say that this is also about the trio and I know a little bit of it sounds corny but I was running out of ideas. Tilla, I can't believe you are posting these....
~~Sorry, Lilac. They aren't half bad though...

When everything falls apart-(November 2006)
Now I know what must be done
My heart is saying it’s true
I knew this day would come
No matter how the friendship grew
I hope this won’t be too hard
That he won’t hurt too much
My heart pounds through my chest
As my choices fly by in a rush
Sitting here so far away
Wondering how this will all end
Knowing that I love him
I wish I could go back and begin again
So many things I’d love to change
But the past is already dead
And I know it’s far out of reach
My soul is missing something, I must go on ahead.
My heart is saying it’s true

Flight-(November 2006)
Flight
The clouds float across
In the bright blue sky
A still unmoving ocean
That’s pleasing to the eye
Sounds are very quiet
Muffled in the air
Sometimes even silent
There’s people filled with fear
Soda’s fizz and bubble
Coffees stir and brew
Laughing, kissing couples
Who don’t even have a clue
My friends I miss terribly
My dog I miss with pain
I’m floating in this ocean
As it begins to rain
The sun, it disappears
Behind a stormy cloud
I feel like I’ve left my life behind
I want to scream and shout
No one would hear me anyway
So caught up with themselves
So I sit in silence and wonder
As excitement in me swells

Storms Poem 2
animals we are, yet fair of form
to attract our prey, beauty is the norm
yet we are beasts, with no hope in sight
we are predators of the night
our visages, pale as moon
are fading, gone all too soon
shunned to shadows, banned from light
yet mortals crave our icy bite
seeking to share our exquisite pain
yet all their efforts die in vain
for our burden is for us alone
young as life, old as stone
crimson mist is flowing fast
growing, hiding all the past
we alone remain unchanged
for us, the future is unarranged
to us, there exist no laws
for we are the crimson mist’s only cause
oh shining moon, take us away
for our sins we daily pay
condemmed as evil, worshipped as god
towards eternal future we endlessly plod
shackled by torment, we cause only strife
we live out a play, an act of life
as varied as you, yet condemned
as the source from which all troubles stemmed
perhaps that is true, but why
is there no grief, no sorrow in your eye
oh god forbid if he is real
these feelings that i think i feel
i fear this, that this it true
i think that i have love for you
oh run away, away you must!
our eyes’ color betrays our lust!
Again, Not stealing. I merely have an obsession with poetry...

The Island that Time forgot (October/ November 2006)
The Island that Time forgot
Watching from its shore
I see people afraid of pain and dying
Yet I sit here unafraid, forgotten by all time
I watch the children grow
An intruder on their lives
What’s worse to see them age and wither
To see them turn to dust
Underneath the Velvet sky
I hum a little tune
It is an ancient lullaby
That I can sing to everyone
But no one even knows I’m here
Invisible to their eyes
Watching the sun alone rise from
Dawn and down to dusk
Now if you listen closely
To the whispers of the wind
You may hear me singing
On this island that time forgot

Wishing Well- November 2006
If I gave you a penny
For the wishing well
What would you wish for, my dear
For the sound of silver bells
Or would you wish
That you were far away at sea
Surrounded by the ocean blue
With no one else but me
Maybe you would wish
To fly high up in the air
And we could have a picnic
On those clouds up there
"No" you say to me
And I frown in reply
"I wish for you stay with me
Until the day I die
No matter what you want to do
Even fishing for the stars
I always want to be with you
Whether you go near or far"
Lilac Ann Black
~I bet you when she finds out I am posting these she will be...upset. But she loves me, so she won't kill me. ALl I know is that she refuses to read them...they bring back too many memories for her...I caught her trying to burn them once. She couldn;t because they are the only thing from her time realm that she has. That and HArry's jacket and his shoe...long story...

Across the winds- November 2006
If it were possible to lie forever
To fall asleep and dream
To escape the evils and the stress
Emotions of loss and pain
A boat floating down a purple river
Velvety black fish swimming close
Bright colored birds with yellow beaks
And gentle breezes through blood-red trees flow
Away from caution and from caring
From pain and away from fear
Where everything is beautiful
And the fog begins to clear
The raindrops turn to silver
The fruit it tastes so sweet
The grass so furry soft
As it sways beneath my feet
The starts come out at night to play
The moon begins to sing
Trees whisper back and forth
It lulls me right to sleep
Somewhere the ocean is the deepest green
The sand the palest yellow
The shells are all unbroken
The thunder begins to bellow
The raindrops disappear
Leaving everything so dry
The sun begins to glow
And the clouds disperse across the sky
It’s then I wake unwillingly
To the real bind
Of loss, pain and broken hearts
Where beauty is hard to find
Lilac Ann Black
~Note from (me) Tilla
These poems were just the beginning of the war in her time...a part in time which no longer exists because of her confusing time travel...they will sound...Different from the Lilac which you know today...for the most part. This was before she...became so entirely angry. (Yes I knew her then...I'm one of the few who remembers who she was....)

Goodnight for now
All it took was time: time to see it, time to enjoy it and time to let it go ♥ I have forgotten too much, yet I know something still haunts me
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I thought I posted a little too many poems so I am stopping for this evening. I have a lot more to post for later.

The Wall
He made me build a wall
Around my bleeding heart
I made sure that it couldn’t fall
But, I tore you apart
You said you loved me anyway
You promised me so true
And in my heart I know somehow
That I’d always loved you, too
My wall began to crumble
As panic began to grow
What would I do without it?
But you were making my heart glow
You said that you would help me
Keep my wall so strong
I knew you didn’t like it
But still you played along
I began to trust you
Against my hearts will
But I let you in anyway
And I’m glad you love me still
So here we are together
Walking hand in hand
And yes I’m truly happy
And I don’t want this to end

The Trio (published) September 2006
The Trio
The summer I can’t forget
Still plays across my mind
Some where far, far away
Behind the fog of time
The memory of laughter
Of tears of joy and pain
Will stay with me forever
The three of us in the rain
No matter what we went through
We rode through think and thin
We made a bond unbreakable
Promising friends until the end
But things we didn’t see
Situations we didn’t plan
One second could destroy
The friendship that we had
Time will always change
Everything that it touches
So cherish each moment before time
Steals it from your clutches
Lilac Ann Black
This poem is dedicated to Harry and James. I love you both and always will. No matter what. I am sorry that fate stole our frienship and time tore it to peices. Maybe one day we will have the chance to make it right again.
I hope we do, because without my best and my boy, there is a hole in my heart as wide as the universe. I miss it. I miss you two. Maybe it's not too late. Maybe...
You two were my light in the dark, my heat in the cold, my happiness in sadness, my safety in fear and my Dairy Queen buds.
Is it too late to apologize? Because(and,Harry,don't yell at me for saying it again...) I'm sorry.

My Poem of Boredom- 2005-2006
My Poem of Boredom
-My own secret room
I have this little room
That’s been placed inside my head
I was there when I was born
And will stay there ‘til I’m dead
This room does not hold things, but memories galore
This is where all my thoughts are stored
It holds a lot of creative things that I have never showed
This room is mine and will stay mine no matter where I go
This little room is not the only one
Because everyone has a brain inside there skull that is theirs alone
Lilac Ann Black
(I was really bored)

How? -2004-2005
How do you stand there?
Looking at me
Like nothing happened
Was it all just a dream?
Am I a shadow?
That only follows my past
Do you even see me?
Or have I disappeared completely?
We stand on each side of the wall
That we built ourselves
Now I can’t get through
No, I can’t get through to you
Are you still there?
I stand here waiting just to hear
You say you want me back
Ever since you just left me standing here
We stand on each side of the wall
The one we built ourselves
Now I can’t reach you at all
Have you forgotten…

Um..these are old
“Minka, Minka”
In the shadows dark and creepy
I can’t feel you, can you see me
In my dreams so soft and sweetly
I hear you call me
In my dreams I hear another
Softly talking to each other
Dark and low I hear the laughter
That’s dragging me after
Where are you I need you terribly
Here I sit it’s cold and clammy
Ice cold hands they tug me gently
Taking me away
There I sat, I’m fading with them
Getting colder by the second
Where are you, I thought you’d be here
This is our last goodbye

January
January
Dark, Cold, and everlasting nights
January, the month your heart frezzes
and will never thaw.
The time when relationships break and
disapear into the snoe, only leaving
footprints left behind.
When death is a common smell.
You grow cold and uninviting.
Where only hugs and love can keep
you from frostbite.
But love, is as scares, as food.
As fast as my tears appear
they're froozen to my cheeks.
Yelling is a common sound through out
the steets in town.
A month feels like a year.
Hope is just a dream for those living on
the streets this month.
People pray for the months to come
to bring warmth.But first they must surive, January.

Death's Kiss
Death's Kiss
Sucidals kiss lays on my cheek like the
lipstick left over from my mothers kiss.
The kiss, burning the skin deeper
and deeper everyday.
Life will end,
when the kiss reachs my rosey lips.
The poison will set into
my youthful body killing
everthing in its path.
As I gasp for my last breath the flashs
of my life, good or bad will rampage
through my brain, until the oxygen is drained.
My body lay lifeless in wait to be discovered.
Unsure of my faint if anyone will weap for
my lifeless body that
lay on the bathroom floor.
I am forever tarped into ablivon never
passing on to the otherside
to find the warm hands of god.
I only see darkness.
As like I am traped in a dark room with no lights,
and no way out.

See It Through
See It Through
by Edgar Albert Guest
When you’re up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it’s vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!
Black may be the clouds about you
And your future may seem grim,
But don’t let your nerve desert you;
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
See it through!
Even hope may seem but futile,
When with troubles you’re beset,
But remember you are facing
Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fall still fighting;
Don’t give up, whate’er you do;
Eyes front, head high to the finish.
See it through!

When the Year Grows Old
When the Year Grows Old
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
I CANNOT but remember
When the year grows old—
October—November—
How she disliked the cold!
She used to watch the swallows
Go down across the sky,
And turn from the window
With a little sharp sigh.
And often when the brown leaves
Were brittle on the ground,
And the wind in the chimney
Made a melancholy sound,
She had a look about her
That I wish I could forget—
The look of a scared thing
Sitting in a net!
Oh, beautiful at nightfall
The soft spitting snow!
And beautiful the bare boughs
Rubbing to and fro!
But the roaring of the fire,
And the warmth of fur,
And the boiling of the kettle
Were beautiful to her!
I cannot but remember
When the year grows old—
October—November—
How she disliked the cold!

Because Of My Obsession With Poetry
Here is Storm's Poem:
What is evil, and what is good?
Are they opposites, or similar?
Moreover, what do they look like?
Is good blameless and sweet?
Is evil dark and menacing?
If you saw them, what would you see?
Would good be an elf child, peering up with innocent eyes?
Would evil be a vampire, hypnotic and darkly appealing?
Or would good and evil switch?
If they switch, good would be a “blessing in disguise”
sent to “teach you a lesson.”
While evil would be “sly trickery”
to “lure you to wickedness.”
Some say that both assume different forms
to complete their work all the better.
While others say that those are merely delegates
sent to perform others’ duties.
If you do not hate evil, is it still evil?
If you do not love good, is it still good?
Are their identities their natures,
Or how people react to them?
If people do good, will they be good?
Or is humanity essentially evil?
Is that why we are obsessed with being good?
And which does intelligence lie under?
Good, for bettering yourself?
Or evil, for challenging what you have been told?
What is the extension of good?
What are the limits of evil?
Do even they understand?
No one knows.
No one ever will.
Don't Kill me Storm. I was not stealing it.

My Request
Hello,
Radar, I am requesting that you please e-mail Echo those poems that you so fantastically wrote and generously shared with her today. (Hopefully you won't be mad that she told me.)
Also, if any of you, out readers, have any poems you would like to share, please feel free to send them in. Since, for lack of a better phrase, my blog is still in the dark, so to speak, I will probably post them on Echo's blog as well as my own.
I won't be posting any of my own poems as of right now because Echo, Lilac and I are extremely swamped with homework and I have an appointment with Jasken and Ash at midnight.
Why wait any longer
Why can't you stay
Why say I must be stronger
Please Don't go away
If you leave again tonight
If there isn't another way
If you must go before the light
Please say you'll return one day
This is hard for both you and me
This is why I always pray
This one thing will always be
Please promise you won't stray
(Okay, I lied)

Underestimated
Sure the name says Echo, but I won't lie. I'm not Echo.
My name is Tilla Ophelia Marsh. For years, I've watched and waited. Silently, I endured life through someone else. Until the person broke. I watched each and every one of us stand and fall. (You will be confused so I won't bother explaining)
Emily and Ellen were the earliest, the children.
Larka was the keen one (wolf senses rock by the way)
Celedae (pronounced seladay)was curiosity.
Laciana was love.
Lilac was anger and caution.
Echo was happiness
and I am fear.
A little poetic, a little depressing, but yes. I am fear. I do not scare people, nor will I ever admit that I am afraid. I am more poetic.
You see, There was a time when Radar and Echo did not live together. Echo got tired and left, becoming a loner. That's when she met us. All of us: the twins-Ellen and Emily Alexander, Curious Celedae, Lovestruck Laci, Lilac and myself. Each of us wanted to be a loner, instead we found each other. All of us are similar, but all of us are different. Together, we make a whole. Apart, only one personality trait shines through (hence the fear, love,anger,curiousity)
This blog will mostly be poems. Poems I have written. Poems I have found.Lyrics to music we listen too and maybe some stories.
Take care for now.
