Thousands of banners wave, each carried by a stately horse; The whole procession is discipline and brawn. But lo! As the dreaded foe comes into view, Despair worms its way into the mens hearts. For though their army is brave and strong, the new Combatants have many a man, and better sword and dart; They outnumber the archaic legion countless men to one. Still, these erstwhile champions hold their heads high, And prepare to fight, though their victory cannot be won; Valiant to the laObsolete


HoneybeeMy little honeybee, oft you buzz along, Bearing the seeds of life in your vibrant coat. You raise our spirits with your will to live so strong; Where others drown in sorrows, on joy and cheer do you float. Your scent is ambrosia, your embrace soft and featherlike. A kiss from you is a thousand times sweeter than The purest nectar after a long rough hike. Your eyes reflect blue better than the ocean can, And your smile would tempt even the devil. As for your sting, I have naught to worry about; Such a thing is endearing and does not kill Only I can hear your pitiful shout.Honeybee


Hall of MirrorsNo matter where I run or hide, I cannot escape my face. Whether laughing, leering, or sobbing is not important; It remains to haunt me, reminding me I have no strength or grace. No matter how hard I run, there is always the upward slant; A bitter slope forged by angry words and shameful pause. I often wonder at the mighty barriers I build, Devoid of proper pain or just cause. No matter now noble or goodwilled My intentions are at first, they warp and shift, Becoming the whims of a heartless wretch. Between me and all lies a bottomless rift; No matter where I trek to fetch  Hall of Mirrors


DisciplineThe sands of time keep blowing in my face And the roaring water pounds upon my back. Yet through it all, my breath retains its steady pace. The water keeps up its relentless attack, But none may now break my discipline, For thought my body sits under a torrent of feeling and sound, My reflective mind remains locked within. Moving as slow as pain, my soul exits and extends around Me, stiffening my body and strengthening my mind. Unassailable! Here I may drop anything I remember to forget And simply put it all behind Now, being empty where I once would fret, I can retDiscipline

Is it you is it me?
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
it's adrian

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.
I so, so, so appreciate it~!

REALLY?!??!?!??!?!?! Do you live in North Carolina too?!?!
That is sooooooooo COOL!!!
Umm...I'm not comfortable putting both my first and last names along with my state and school on the internet, so I regretably cannot give you my last name.
If we do happen to go to the same school, it'd be so cool right?!
