Temptation

It all seemed just so harmless.
A prank at first, indeed.
I had no inclination
On where this joke would lead.

I let myself to wander
To a distant, darkened place.
First curious to test the grounds
Of the freedom I embraced.

Scarred and scared, 'twas unprepared,
to see the things hid there.
Oh my, Oh me, what I did see!
What burden I now bear!

...

Crazed by my obsession,
consumed by greed and lust,
I lost my soul in darkness.
Hate much easier than trust.

A feel of paper was to my heart.
A weakness I befell.
And run away, to lonely be
A wretch in burning Hell.

He promised me, don't you see?
A life of pleasantry!
But, alas. It went by fast,
Alone the end will be.

...

Alone, alone... All alone.
I see what I must do.
But no desire to do the deed,
I bid my cares adieu.

Taunted by the cricket
deep inside my head,
I try to push away the good,
as once I did with bad.

Oh so terse is the curse
laid on those like this:
Replace good where bad once stood,
or become as an abyss.

going up

I don’t want to go up in front of the class
I don’t want to go up, I think I will pass
Why, do you ask, that I don’t want to go
Why, do you ask, do you really not know
What do I do when I start to mess up?
What do I do when my voice goes amuck?
What will I do, when going up, I trip
What if my pants start to suddenly rip?
What if my voice were to suddenly crook
And people start laughing when I’ve made no joke
What if people start yelling my name,
Saying my presentation is totally lame
Then what will happen when they start to boo
All this might possibly happen, its true
So what will I do teacher, tell me this
What will I do when the crowd starts to hiss?
What, what’s that you say
You say to keep going, pretend its okay
You say you go through this every day

books

When I read a book it takes me away

To a different time, to a different day

I can go anywhere (round about)

All I need to do is check a book out


One moment I’m with 3 shiny knights

The next moment I’m with eagles in flight

Then I take a trip under the sea
Then I’m in a room, alone with just me

I smile to myself at the things that I’ve read

I’ve been all around, yet stayed in my bed
The poor people who’ve never had this feeling
Trying to keep it inside, I can’t help but squealing

I’ve been places one can only imagine

In a mountain, fighting a dragon
I’ve done all this, and even more
And I never even had to go to the store

Some books are old and forgotten

And some have characters that are nasty and rotten
But as long as you have a book in your hand
You better prepare for a time that is grand

late

Roy the boy was always late
Which his teachers did not appreciate
He’d talk to his friends for much to long
And would even listen to every song
He’d lollygag and drag his feet
He didn’t care about getting to his seat
He thought “so what “about school attendance
He’s teachers thought he needed more dependence
But one day the school lunchroom wouldn’t let him in
They thought this school he was no longer in
So now he roams the school trying to get to class
But by the time he gets there the bell has already passed
So don’t ever be late to class my boy
Unless you want to end up like Roy
Who roams the halls forever more
Trying to get in every class door

leaving

I lie in bed hinking of you
And another breath I painfulydrew
For tomorrow you leave and I won’t see you for long
And now it feels like you have already gone
Two years I will wait for you to return
And every day I will feel some burn
What will I do without you there?
Without your love and your wonderful care
Though your leaving so far for a very good reason
And I won’t see you for a couple of seasons
But as you watch me cry
I see a tear start to form in your eye
So hush now my dear
There is nothing to fear
Though you may be far away
in your hart i will stay
though it may hurt for a whil
put on a smile
for i will still love you when you return

lost game

dear game
come out come out where ever you are
you couldn't have gone very far
for i lost you just a year ago
and i lent you to no one i know
i only have so long i can look
and iv searched for you in every nook
pleas come out so i can play you
from, me

alone

A long time ago
I sat all alone
No place called home
I sat all alone
I wanted some love
Someone to hold
I wanted some love
Out here in the cold
But no one would come
To help me on up
No one would come
I’d run out of luck
For silly was I
And used it all up
Silly was I
And now I was stuck
I’ve learned my lesson
I really have
I’ve learned my lesson
And im really sad
For no one will give me
A second chance
For no one will give me
A second glance
So I’ll sit in the gutter
All lonely and pail
I’ll sit in the gutter
As its stormy and gale
All I need
Is that second chance
All I need
Is that second glance

date

Dear boy,
Here’s to the boy who I’ll go out with tonight
Here’s to the boy so he’ll know what it’s like
Today for this dace I washed my hair twice
Just so that it will look realy nice
Then I worked on it then for hours on end
I even had to call in my friend
For I couldn’t hold all the curlers up there
So I needed her help to hold up my hair
I also put makeup on my face
A special type that does not erase
My earrings are new and so is my dress
You might say I’m a little obsessed
But I want to look nice for this date that you planed
I’m hoping that it will be very grand
But you don’t seem to notice all the things that I’ve done
And now it’s come to the end of our fun
So as you wonder why I’m mad at you
Think of all of the things that I do
To make me look lovely and hope you’re impressed
And you didn’t once even comment on my dress

Black Whole

My life is an endless black whole
Going where, I do not know
But it seams not to end
I’ve lost all my friends
Cuse I think iv eaten there sole

The world all around me is dark
But I can here a call of a lark
Will it disappear to
Like all that I knew
And not even leave a spark

school’s cafeteria

Im sitting here looking at my food
And trying not to think rude
For it ought to look good
But instead it just looks like wood

For this is the school’s cafeteria
, but I’d rather eat in Siberia,
For the food there is not alive
Or trying to give me hives

I think I just saw my food move
But iv got nothing to prove
But I think it’s ten times better
if my food did not get wetter

I think that im done eating
For my food is now retreating
Even though not a spec has been eaten
All the kids stomachs have now been beaten

procrastinator

I have too much homework to do
And not enough free time to use
My brain will implode
Or maybe explode
With the amount of thing to do

But I don’t want to do anything now
I’ll just do it later instead
For I’m a procrastinator
I tend to do things later
Rather than doing them now

How much work is to be done
Just thinking about it is hard
So as I sit here
Just dreading with fear
Of all the work that will never get done

boardom

Time slips slowly on ward
It slowly snakes on by
It needs to travel faster
I feel like I’m about to die

The bell needs to strike soon
So I can run on out
My stomach now is growling
And I’m ready to shout

A voice is steadily grinding
Away like a moving stone
My brain wants it to stop
So I can go on home

Why must I go through this
And sit with nothing to do
My body now goes numb
With the lack of things to do

The 5 minuet mark is reached
That’s all there’s left to kill
And the zippers start to zip
As the teacher says “sit still”

But the students won’t obey
For the time is now at hand
As the last minute is in sight
And freedom reaches out her hand

angel

one day to my surprise
i saw an angel with tears in her eyes
i walked up to her, with her wings that were strong
and found myself asking her what was wrong
she looked up at me as a tear ran down her cheek
took a breath and started to speak

"I looked around and see the spirit dieing
and thought to myself and started crying
the children of the lord are laughed at and poked
while others strive to make them provoked
its hard to find a single spiritual place
where i could speak to someone face to face"

then smiling at her, i started to cry
and told her" there are meany places on high
fist of all the beautiful temple on there mountain perch
and what about the wonderful church
the missionary are nice and strong
even when people tell them they are all wrong
its easy to see the bad all around
but if you look for it, the spirit can be found.

dreams

why is it when you dream
you imagine the most brilliant things
then you wake up and cant remember a thing

do your dreams run away
are they to much to take
are are they erased by a weird type of ray

if you could remember them
would they be weird or funny
would remembering them make you fell like a dummy

i wish i could remember my dreams
wait what is this sensation i feel
i think I'm dreaming, so much for these things

break up line

roses are red
violets are blue
sugar is sweet
and so are you

the roses are wilted
the violets are dead
the bowl is empty
and so is your head

Drawing

have you ever drawn something that took you forever to make
a picture that you look at
and see no mistake
and you want bring it to someone
showing off what you do
but find yourself ashamed
by the thing that you drew

show it to your friends,
and they might laugh in you face
insuring you worst dream
of becoming a total disgraced

is just the way that the point out your obsessed
even though its the one way to take out your stress
its childish, kiddish, and stupid too
but it took you forever this picture you drew

will they think that your stupid and nevi too
if you show them this masterpiece that you drew
if this were to happen to you,
oh, what would you do, what would you do.

Hate

Twice, upon my doorstep
    evil's face has drawn nigh.
I fear that it may someday
    Find his way inside.

Oh, sweet protection of my door!
    I envy not the streetworld
For this day of wicked lot
    hath many not endured.

The darkness drowns the outside
    The fear and sadness wail
A little nick nock at my door
    and frightful face doth pail.

"It's come!" I hoarsely cry
    all hope inside is fleeing!
The wicked darkness always claims,
    or else it never leaves.

Small voice says "Come, join me!
    We all are gaily playing!"
Despite knowing what darkness brings
    this trigger makes me submit.

I peak the door, but an inch
    and in sprung big ol' Satan!
"You knew, you fool, what awaited you
    and still you simply gave in!"

-Christine Stone Mooth

Betrayal

I look for mine
    Among the brazen briar.
I search and search
    the thicket, it grows higher.

Desperate and worn
    I walk through ripping thorn
It shreds and tears.
    my arms and hair are shorn.

Bloodied, bruised,
    Dragged through grime and muck
I glimpse a peak
    of mine, but now am stuck

To my delight
    He turns around and smiles!
But lo, what here?
    And my mouth fills with bile.

I cry and wail!
    In absolute dispair!
For not a smile
    for me, but other fair.

I fall to Earth,
    The mud surrounds my face.
I sink in deep
    And wither in my place.

-Christine Stone Mooth

prophecy

when the lighting strikes the ground
and the wind wails around
when the storms refuse to stop
and the air starts to pop

3 hero will be chosen
among the long lost frozen
and walk to the land of fire
then give up all of their disaster

then to the land of snow
they must surly go
and fight the long lost lord
with the ever lasting sword

Game?

my life is not my own
i fear of this alone
is it just a game
or am I insane
is it possible to return home

i am playing my life
and its an endless strife
i need to win
is that a sin
its cutting me like a knife

bet

all the hope is lost
as the die was tossed
a bet was made
and ended up grave
we had to pay the coast

the chiors morning song
should not be so long
as the dawn refuse to rise
and its the end of our lives

destieny

the flowers flote above
and twirl in the breeze
above the ones in love
as if to suddenly seize

the burnt Autumn sky
has finally come alive
the embers now will die
as destiny has knave

help

I sat a still in the dark
No more the light I had
I gave it away
I have to say
To one with more the need

So now I stoop down in the deep
Shivering from the cold
But smiling still
Because I know
I showed one how to hold

The summer day
Has gone away
No more for me to have
But others I have given it
Now take away my sad

What more is there to life then give
To one with more a need
To raise one up
Is better still
Then bring one down with me

As life slips by
I count the ones I have helped on up
But then I see a light by me
Now helping me on up

I can not speak
For one like he
Would even look at me
Let alone to take his time
To help the needy

Then he smiles and prompts me on
Urging me to go
And try to lift another soul
And fill there empty hole

keblades chosen

The keyblades wilder chosen
And everyone is frozen
Because the blades new wielder
Can be the one to yield her

Everyone is morning
Because of the forewarning
The impossible hopes can tell
The girl form Riavel

tecnoligy

When the internet is down
And there in no hope around
Then into the computer must go
3 loving living souls

One will meet their fate
By the drawing of the plate
And she must not survive
To save the others’ lives

colors

When a spirits soul is seen
And the colors show a gleam
The bright and loving grace
Could be shown upon there face

But if ones colors really flew
And there soul was torn in two
We would be appalled
To hear that different call

zombies

If zombies were to arise
And try to take our lives
Would we all be ready
And our fingers strong and steady

Could we take them down
Or would we only drown
Beasuse the dead cant die
We will shrivel up all dry

forever?

The light is ever burning
The earth is ever turning
The moon is ever showing
And the stars are ever glowing

But if this all should stop
And life we know drop
Would we all go crazy
And all are thought be hazy

The Stairs

I look up the long stairs
    at how far I have to go.
Discouraged now I weep
    at my position, below.

Everyone is higher up!
    no one's here with me...
Afraid and all alone, i breathe
    and start up, grudgingly.

Higher
    Higher
       Higher
Higher
    Higher
Stop.

I look down below my feet
    and thing inside my head;
"Oh look! I'm not the lowest now!
    Someone's below MY tread!"

Smiling now, so full of pride
    I start my climb again.
But I see that I'm no where close
    and it causes me great pain.

Higher
    Higher
       Higher
Higher
    Higher
Stop.

How I wish I was near enough
    To talk to anyone!
But no matter how I tried
    No closer did I come!

In bitter anguish I did throw a
    Terrible childish fit.
And in my rage, I broke the step
    And soon began to slip.

Falling
    Falling
       Falling
Falling
    Falling...
Stop?

I looked up at my hand to see
    What stopped my falling self.
To my surprise, I realized
    T'was one above my shelf!

What cause, what love, what selfless soul
    Has fallen from his hights
To save my selfish, tiny life
    With pride inside her sights?

Climbing
    Climbing
       Climbing
Climbing
    Climbing
Stop.

The hand's release, and warm embrace
    Has taught me, for a time,
I'm not alone, and always loved
    Even when I sludge through grime.

I lovingly, atop my perch,
    Look down again, once more.
The lower man is falling, too,
    much to my wide-eyed horror!

Down
    Down
       Down
Down
    Down
STOP!

I'm holding him with unknown strength
    Totally amazed!
Pulling him back up on steps,
    We both are rather dazed.

He looks at me, and smiling says
    The words I could not speak.
For he wasn't the only one
    To be saved from this peak.

Upward
    Upward
       Upward
Upward
    Upward
Go.

A long long line of people
    Always helping others out.
I can see the fullness now
    It makes me want to shout!!

HAROO! HARRAY! HUZZAH! YIPPY!
    The line extends forever!
We all must serve our part in it
    Or else...

All life will shatter.

Forbidden Love

I eye
     The Sky;
The skyward sword now sharpened fly.

A To
     and Fro;
This motion it must undergo.

At long,
     A Song
Doth travel through the thickened throng.

The feet
     Must meet
The ground, snap trap to music's beat.

The sword,
     A Chord,
Connects the two among the hoard.

At last,
    and fast,
A kiss afore the chance has passed.

-Christine Stone Mooth

shadow

The shadow is among us
It feed on hate and jealous
The pain it fills is hollow
But we must not follow

It will tempt us to the end
You will think that it’s your friend
But heed my urging warning
Or you will never see the morning

He strives to stab your hart
For him it’s just an art
And then he’ll sneak away
And kill the very next day

maze

The path is long and winding
The end is very hard finding
As your hours tick away
You have just one more day

You mustn’t waste your time
The death bell will soon chime
This is your one last chance
Prepare for your last stance

haunted house

The house is long forgotten
The floor boards are all rotten
And wails run through the house
And scurrying of the mouse

The lights will all flicker
The paint is looking sicker
And my vision now is fading
And my memories are wading

changing times

A long lost lord is weeping
As the past keeps on repeating
And the devil keeps on reaping
As the life span is depleting

But can we change the past
Without results that last
Or is it in are grasp
To change the thoughts that are dashed

save

When the fire dies down
And the lost is finally found
Then the trio must go west
To face the bitter test

Then in the unclean water
Will arise the fires daughter
Then a choice will be made
For better or for grave

forzen

When the moon is eaten whole
And the amulet is stole
Then the world will become dull
And eaten up its sole

But if a hero is chosen
The reward will be ambrosian
To save the world that’s frozen
And stop all erosion

one chose

How many soles will die
Because of that one lie
Now they will not fly
Because there fear is high

The one who never fears
Hears whispers in his ears
And shedding all his tears
As everyone now peers

swords

The blackened blade is poison
Is wielder it has chosen
It holds and evil spirit
So only one can hear it

The white blade is the light
It stands for truth and right
But only it can withstand
The black blades evil hand

starless night

The stars have all gone out
For this there is no doubt
The skies are dark
For Only a spark
Now lights the dark blue sky’s

A lantern gleams afar
Or is it just a star
As hope returns
The one will burn
To save this dyeing world

open eyes

The stillness of the storm
Has made the world go warm
So the land scape Jupiter
The is a brand new newcomer

But will the world be different
Or will the souls be ignorant
For the land scape has been misshapen
For what has this forsaken

questions

As the energy runs out
There is no room for doubt
But hope is out of reach
For those who don’t beseech

When the final question is asked
And it is unsurpassed
The door will open wide
For those who step inside

harsh winter

The ice bites the skin

As the warmth dies within

Then one last breath will take

To never ever wake


The blinding white landscape

Has made the world misshape

But threw the muffled quite noise

A howling piercing one destroys

hope's end

Through the longest midnight
With the grasp of the enemies' hand
The searing rain will take flight
And then none can withstand

The wind will wail around us
As the smoke begins to rise
But in the end the jealous
Will strive to kill our lives

Unknown

The rage of a lord rekindled
And a lost hart is swindled
Only one can save
But end up grave
Or the world that we know will dwindle

The torture in their eyes
As the new fear arrives
The killer dies
To keep the lives
But in the end the truth lies

Singing

As I swim through cold water,
      I always have time to think.
Stroking along, head under,
      I am thinking on what I should think.

I suddenly dive down, deep
      It is darker and colder,
And now I’m a fish, or frog,
      And it keeps getting colder.

A song, a hum, a small sound
      Swims through water to ear.
I hear the pool singing, humming,
      Whispering into my ear.

Suddenly, I feel the ocean.
      I open my eyes to see,
And fish, reefs, and starfish,
      All now do I see.

My breath pounds my chest.
      I must surface now,
Leave the beauty in water.
      I don’t want to leave, now.

I leave my heart behind.
      I see this always,
The sea and beauty of water,
      Of earth, always.

                                   And I sing.

Happiness

Flying high, looking down
    At all the things I've overcome.
Feeling free! Flying free
    O'er the dark grey thunderclouds.

At my feet, under me
    Rainfalls and thunder claps.
I'm alone, flying free!
    In the bright beaming light!

The sun! The light!
    I see it now! Warming me inside!
Feeling free, flying free
    O'er the dark grey thunderclouds!

A Prayer

I’m squirming in bed
    I’m trying to sleep,
I’ve tried doing yoga
    And I’ve counted those sheep.

Something keeps nagging,
    I know I’ve forgot
Something, oh something
    I must do a lot.

And then I remember,
    And hop out of bed,
I kneel at my bedside
    And I bow my head.

“Oh, Father” I start
    “I’m so very sorry!
I almost forgot,
    Just like aunty Lurie!

“Who one night,
    As mom and dad say,
She died in her sleep!
    She forgot to pray…”

I begin with my thanks,
    But have so much fun,
I decide that I’ll list
    Every last one!

“Thank you so much
    For my mom and dad!
They love me, I know,
    Even when they are mad.

“Thanks for my sisters,
    Who tolerate teasing.
For my grandma and pa
    Who have awful loud sneezing!

“My husband, Nathanael,
    Is so fun and great!
These are the people
    I could never hate!

“My safety I feel
    Wherever I go!
For my religion
    And beautiful snow…”

I run out of ideas,
    So silently peeking,
I open my eyes
    To help out with my thinking!

“For my computer
    That hums me to sleep,
And wakes me up
    When I’m out so deep.”

Soon I am hearing
    The clock in the corner
Chiming its rhythm,
    “It’s four and a quarter!”

I prayed through the night
    And into the morn,
I hear my dad chewing
    His way through our popcorn.

So as I get near
    To ending my prayer
I say “Thank you, Lord,
    You’ve always been there.”

A Poison's Antidote

A nothingness surrounds me
Choking me, killing me.
Slowly, ever slowly, it sinks its teeth in deep.

A poison is injected
Flowing in, soaking in
Swiftly, oh so swiftly, it burns toward my heart.

And so it lives within me,
Rooted deep, far too deep!
A darkness so far in me I do not see it there.

But hope comes, unexpected
From where? Oh where?
What light, what action, has saved me from despair?

The answer lies inside me
I know what, I know who;
And a time soon will come when others know it, too.

-Christine Stone Mooth
