END OF DAYS
BY: ANNONYMOUS
Reveal to us our earthly cage
Hurricanes hath sound the horn
Sprout the seeds of natures rage
Chirping birds on sunny morn'
Donate lies of peaceful play
Observe the calm before the storm
Humanity sleeps in the frey
Of tranquil, subtle instinct lost
Glowing souls regress to grey
We ultimatly pay the cost
Of paradise neglected so
Touch the boney finger frost
Final line of final page
Twas Eden children, not a cage.

What, may I ask, is I?
They say, a man, but a human
Created by a god, or one of them all
If any at all
Labeled I, He, Him
What I see, if I is me
Is what I feel
Not what my eyes can see
So that which is within
Comes out here, in pen
Confusing, of course
Not much can be sure of
But I try to focus it all
Trying not to break, or fall
To find my purpose
Something I alone can do
Something for me, indeed, is extreme
That thing I need to find
That which is mine
That thing, I ask, is I
I
IN THE VETERAN’S DEATH

BOY AND GIRL:
BY: AVRIL D.C.
There’s a boy in the window, dressed in blue,
He’s got a secret; it may not be true,
Time and again, on many lonely days,
He thinks about a girl while he’s in a daze,
Imagines his girl with bright auburn hair,
Loves her face, her lips, her stare,
Hears her voice upon the wind,
Imagines he’s good, imagines she’s sinned,
She’s got lights like angels, from up above,
But even in his dreams, she’s not in love,
Her lips turn down and her stare has lost rule,
But her eyes, he gets lost in a cerulean blue,
He imagines she’s dangerous, don’t interfere,
The look in her eyes is wicked, but sincere,
And he a good boy, can’t help but fall,
He wants her to live, and he wants it all,
Now that he’s captured under her spell,
The look in her eyes drags him to hell,
Could hell be like love, if it were a dream?
Even though passion separates the scream,
Content with his name on the Devils scroll,
Accomplished, he’s reached his final goal,
Eyes all lit up as his girl is created,
Before him is worth the time he has waited,
Here is a girl with bright auburn hair,
Exact same face, same lips, and same stare,
Her eyes don’t show the same solemn glow,
He thought he’d made the deal down below,
Now he can see the angels above,
And knows that God has granted his love.

The flag finishes fluttering
The monuments - echoing
The ocean refrains from waving
The wind ceases blowing
Birds stop migrating
Flowers stop blooming
People quit moving
The nation retreats from honoring
The invalids wound begins cauterizing
The friends tear lies freezing
The candles dim shining
Children no longer smiling
When the veteran is dying
I WANNA LOVE YOU
BY: ERVIN SARAVIA
I wanna love you
I wanna love you unconditionally
I wanna love you like Jesus loves his
children
like the flower loves the sun
Want to love your secret garden that has
been kept hidden for their pain and sorrow
want to see the stars that you dream
about under the starry sky
feel your divine grace
filled with compassion, love, and forgiveness
in your eyes I see forever
Let’s fly to wherever the wind takes us
I wanna love you without bounds
without limits
I wanna love you
for Carolina and the world
