The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 More poems because I can't stop Mercy River Spoiler Mercy River A strange word A contradiction of two words Yet they fit Yet they belong together The river is tempestuous Dangerous Deadly Rough Shredding And yet There is mercy here In this unforgiving river There are hands that don’t let go Those who pick you up around every bend Who keep you from drowning Who give you a breath of air when you are 100 feet under When you are further than they can reach They still reach out And find a way to grasp your hand And yet they don’t reach out themselves When they are drowning When they give you a breath of air It’s all that is left in their lungs And they shove you upward As they drown themselves For you As they take in air Don’t let go Keep a firm grip Pull them upwards with you Reach out to him if you need a hand But don’t let go of him For them Or for yourself Please, be the hands that don’t let go Please Lord, don’t let go Don’t let go This is his river Unmerciful to teach Dangerous to caution Deadly to show safety Shredding to show mercy Mercy on this river of life. Siblings Spoiler Siblings are annoying And pests And loud Until you get older When you get older You get closer to them You care for them You start to love them To want to always keep them close And when you get friends When you get lifelong friends They become your siblings as well And for all of your siblings You feel a deep love A deep care And you just want to protect them from everything Siblings are wonderful All kinds of siblings Blood and adopted All deserve love All feel your love When you grow Just a little bit older 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Got quite a few poems this time I Wonder Spoiler I wonder If they saw my pain this morning If they saw my worry If they saw the hunger gnawing at my belly If they saw the tears trailing my cheeks I wonder What they’d see If they saw in my brain Would it change how they thought of me To know the thoughts I don’t voice to them The thoughts I don’t voice to myself The thoughts that whisper I made the wrong choice That coming back Has only brought pain That I’ll just fail them all That I’ll just make things worse Like I always do That I never developed my gifts That I won’t in time That even if I could I couldn’t use them to help That seeing their thoughts Wouldn’t help That knowing the intent of their hearts Wouldn’t help That I am utter rubbish And that I made the wrong choice It wishes me to correct it Perhaps Perhaps I will I don’t know I think or fear I don’t know which That I will If I lose one Because I Can’t Ever Learn A Lesson Not The FIrst Time Not The Last The pain of Caring Spoiler It burns And it burns And it burns It sears my soul It burns me in my care Destroying what tiny amount of peace I had before I wouldn’t take it back Never would I Never would I not care But it still burns And I don’t know how to balance it. How great the pain of searing love I think I understand this now This great love for them It burns me It consumes me Perhaps it will burn me all up The Foolishness of Love Spoiler I fell for you Harder than anyone else Harder than I will for anyone else And it hurts It burns And I’d follow you anywhere Even into death I couldn’t stop it Didn’t realize it until There was nothing I could do But be swept up along for the ride I don’t know the exact reason I fell for you Just am glad that I did In the foolishness Of my love Charity Spoiler I once knew a friend Who loved Charity I didn't know It had passed to me Charity is love A fountain of love That will never run dry It is compassion A compassion as deep as the root Of the great sequoia trees It is service A burning desire to serve A flame eternal, never to die It is brotherly love A love unfettered by anything The chains having been snapped It is hope Hope everlasting, that will never die That will fill your soul and never leave It is the pure love of Christ A boundless love Impossible yet possible to understand If one has Charity Charity doesn't care if you fall Nor how long you take to get back up Just that you do get back up What would the world be like If all had Charity, I wonder The city of Enoch left So I guess we know What would happen If all the world had Charity It would be a unimaginable place It would be vastly different Charity It is wonderful It speaks to my soul I hope that I have it And if I do have it That I never lose it And that I May share it with others Share this love for Charity It's back Spoiler It is back again It wasn’t so strong For a while But now it’s back There was an idea In my mind this morning And so I listened to the video The whole way through And I cried At her pain Of a stranger Who I’d never met It hit me like a wave Took me along for a ride Couldn’t stop it So I just tried to ride the wave Only drowned a little Just a little Just was swamped By her pain Her sorrow Of a woman I’d never met Still feel it Can’t quite shake her sorrow Even though I never knew her Because the gift is back And it’s stronger than before 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) I have a new poem, tried to start writing a scene yesterday but I didn't quite have time. Hopefully I'll have time to finish it soon. Thy will be done Spoiler Thy will be done Never knew how much These words would sting What little comfort they used to give Seems gone now Or not It’s hard to tell Hard to know what they mean To me right now They mean to hold on To continue In this never ending Stream of terror That it’ll be alright Even as they slid further Even as they burry it deeper Even as I feel like I’m failing Even as these morning become dark Even as it feels there is no end Even as I begin to slip again Even as I am alone Because I never see them anymore And my brain… And my brain tries to sell me lies That they don’t care But I know They’d stay If they could But that they have to leave But right now Right now My brain holds sway But when does this end I hope I desperately hope That once I am around them more That perhaps Just maybe This will all be easier I don’t know I just don’t want to be alone anymore But well Thy will be done I just hope It doesn’t shatter us Even though That’s exactly what I asked for Edited May 9, 2023 by The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Edema Ruh said: ... *runs* *Blinks* *Lets Aes run* *reads more* This scene idea came from a conversation with a friend about how many people could fit on a chandelier. *Cough* @The Halcyon Girl *Cough* The Chandelier (what I have so far ^_^) Spoiler The chandelier rocked again and Thorn glared across at Arrow. If he hadn't been there she would have made a clean escape. He was the one who had stepped on the ground and triggered the alarm which had awoken the Stone Knights. He was the one who hadn't been able to stay in the air. A art she had had to master by the age of eight. Arrow was, well he was more like a knight than a assassin, and even less like a master assassin than herself. He'd been newly inducted and sent with her on almost all her missions so far- The chandelier tilted to the left and Thorn lost her thought as she readjusted her position to keep it steady. Problem was, the fool Arrow had adjusted at the same time too and the chandelier listed even more dangerously to the left. The wind hissed around her and it was one of the few times she was frustrated that she couldn't speak. She was tempted to just tie him up in air but just removing him from the chandelier for a second would mean it would tilt her towards the stone knights below. The wind hissed more violently and Thorn's hands strayed towards her dozens of daggers. But, something stayed her hand, she'd never wanted to slaughter dozens of people in front of the newer assassins. She'd always let the other assassins do that. But, but she couldn't avoid that any more. It was time to prick the knights with the Thorn of the Rose Assassins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted October 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 These two poems are opposites and compliments at the same time. Wonderful beautiful contractions wrought out of pure emotion. See you in the morning Spoiler But... What if I don’t See you in the morning What if your fur is lifeless and cold, In the morning. Your body curled up One last time What if this special bond we have Snaps Upon your death You, never sleeping on me anymore Never demanding pets Never walking over computer and plopping down on homework Never purring when I pet you Never there to cry on and pet When I get too sad What if I wake up to see you still Reaching out for that hope against hope Tears running down my face, as my hand finds cold fur And I sink my face into your fur One last time It finally Becoming Real Heart shattering Into thousands of splinters Already wondering Already mourning Because my traitorous brain is asking What if it was one of you I lost instead? Light/Peace (You can replace Light with peace in this one and it reads the same :) Spoiler Even now Even as I worry Over dear sweet Ember My cat, my best friend With whom I have a special bond I can feel the light As tears run down my face His light Burning through the darkness Giving me light Through this dark night If she does die... If I do lose her... The light won't fade No, only grow stronger The light will fill, the gap in my soul Left by her absence Until another animal Be it ferret, cat, dog, or other Crawls into my heart Curls up close And adds its own light Helping mend and heal My broken heart With new joys And new wonderful life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Chameleon Spoiler There was a boy who lived a normal life. He was quiet and shy. He loved hiding in books and falling into worlds and imagining himself as a main character. He loved it all. He didn't have many friends at school though. He never really cared though. It was as if he was a chameleon. Able to be unbothered by anyone but his books. Eventually he stumbled upon some friends through shared love for books. And he came to love them even more than his books. And then he learned of their struggles and pains and fears and their deepest sorrows. He began to be there for their darkest nights. And he learned a truth about being a chameleon. As a chameleon you can see all, especially those far away. But sometimes they can't see you. And more importantly by taking on his surroundings to hide, he took on their pain. He started to feel what anyone and everyone around him felt. Began to be paralyzed by it. Sometimes it seemed he overcame it for a time. But always it came slithering back. A venomous cobra ready to strike. Again. And again. And again. His emotions were entangled with others. Unable to know what he was truly feeling. Torn between opposites. A silent witness. A silent sufferer. A chameleon hiding on the wall.

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted October 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I forgot I had written these three when I wrote a new poem so here they are if you want to read them. @The Halcyon Girl @SmilingPanda19 been thinking of you two a lot today. Love you both and everyone else who reads this too Tears (10/22/23) Spoiler Tears flow from the boy Staining the bed The pillow The cat The boy weeps for the pain The all consuming pain of a fallen world Where everyone hurts And keeps on hurting Because so much is wrong with the world And the boy wishes to fix it To wrap everyone in darkness at home alone late at night when the thoughts have the most power He wants to be there For them For everyone To wrap them in a warm hug And to hold them through their darkest nights And so he cries Because he can feel their pain Feel it growing Feeding their inner darkness especially Threatening to choke them He cries Sniffles Blows his nose And hugs the cat Turning once again to God He cries Barely able to form the words Only able to think in raw pure emotion. Everything else burned away But raw pure emotion And care Flaring so bright He weeps even harder As he remembers a phrase And the one who knows his pain Intimately Personally Fully And knows and loves him Along with all the others The words come again Be Still And know that I am God The wheels spin rapidly in the boys head As understanding comes to him Peace washes over him Removing his worry But leaving the care Burning brighter than the sun The boy lays on his bed after midnight And smiles at the ceiling To the heavens above Where a loving Father Smiles down on all of his wonderful Beautiful Intelligent Loved And Talented children His children In the image of their father Crowned with love and glory Gethsemane (10/22/23) Spoiler There was a boy Who thought he knew the greatest pain Until he remembered His Savior, Redeemer, and brother Who suffered all the pain he would ever know In three hours And the suffering his friends felt And the billions and possibly trillions of people Who had ever lived on the earth All their sadness Pain Suffering Sadness Abuse Anger Malice Wounds Death He felt it all He felt for the dying man who could hardly remember his wife's face For the mother who died after seeing her firstborn for the first and only time For the father as he lost his firstborn weeks after he lost his wife. The sorrow overwhelming It caused even him The Son of God To bleed from every pore For the pain and suffering of every person The boy wondered how he did it How he survived the soul crushing grief Loss Pain Suffering Of all people Perhaps, the boy wondered He felt everything from everyone Both the good and the bad Otherwise how could he know everyone intimately and personally To know how to perfectly love them and give them exactly what they needed Even if it wasn't what they wanted He knows me, marveled the boy He knows me perfectly And warmth blossomed in his chest Spreading out to his fingers and toes And he realized that the Savior knew this moment too He knew each moment he breathed Both good and bad He suffered so that none would be alone, mused the boy And the warmth returned again This time with a quiet peaceful voice "Yes I did it my child because I love you. I love all of my children. And I like you don’t want any of them to suffer in the dark alone. I am always there For you And for them I love you my child." Godly Sorrow (10/22/23) Spoiler The sorrow of a father for his children is great Oh how much greater is the sorrow of a Heavenly Father For us His spirit children He knows we suffer He knows all of our pains and trials Intimately and personally But his love is far too great To give us lesser things So he watched with pain and love As he sees us stumble and fall Make mistakes Over And Over And Over Again Watches us fall in inescapable darkness The agency of others tormenting and twisting us He lets us suffer because he loves us He puts people in our lives to lift us up To bond us with our pain and troubles To build something beautiful Something grander and more wondrous than we could have known He loves us so much that he can’t help us reach anything but our full potential As his spirit sons and daughters All beautiful to his eyes Wonderfully talented in so many unique and amazing ways Each loved for just who they are By a loving Father in Heaven @Thaidakar the Ghostblood @Edema Rue this one was kinda inspired because of your SU Thaid I know the plan (10/30/23) Spoiler I know the plan I know why I'm here I know the path But then Why is it so hard to walk I want to walk it I really really do But my mind seems not to Coming up with images I don’t want to see Family and friends death for various reasons Worst of all usually by me I just get distracted And the day flies by Nothing I wanted to do done at all And mind poisoned instead I knew life was going to be hard That it was going to hurt That I will have to suffer loss But why then is it So terrifying to imagine a world without any of them It drives me to my knees Again And again And again Crying Feeling Terrified Hopeless And alone Bowing my head Night after Night Crying on Ember Terrified of losing her too Hoping for a night Radiant And resplendent In writing And the Spirit And comfort And Light I know God is there I know that he will feel distant But it hurts so much And I turn to him Knowing he can help But that sometimes nights are just going to be hard. And peace takes time And sometimes Sometimes Blessings come through raindrops And healing through tears And pain vanishes loving a friend miles away Except… Except it sometimes grows worse Because not being able to be there in person Is a very exquisite pain And one I'd never get rid of If it meant not loving them Because I just love them And can't stop I try to trust that someday Someday Everything will get better Maybe not completely As that day seems ages away But at least slightly better Hope peeks from behind the clouds Finally lighting These dark nights Burning away the mists Of depression Paving the way for Gentle Kindly Love Edited October 30, 2023 by The Wandering Wizard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
