Mnemonics and aspirations

Try to take things in stride.
You are not second-rate.
Don’t forget who you are inside.

Nothing changes if you run and hide.
The road is neither narrow nor straight.
Try to take things in stride.

Find friends in whom you can confide.
She (or he) is worth the wait.
Don’t forget who you are inside.

Everyone you love will someday have died.
Love them now before it’s too late.
Try to take things in stride.

Lose your face; not your pride.
Do not anger. DO. NOT. HATE.
Don’t forget who you are inside.

Learn to live with what you decide.
You’re the author of your own fate.
Try to take things in stride.
Don’t forget who you are inside.

Oceanic

I stare out at the sea
and watch the world go by,
feeling happy.

The blissful simplicity
of watching waves climb high.
I stare out at the sea.

Taking in the symphony
of every seaside cry,
feeling happy.

Enjoying the warmth on me
of sunlight from the sky.
I stare out at the sea.

Drinking tea
while I lie
feeling happy.

Filled with a quiet glee
and contentedness while I…
I stare out at the sea
feeling happy.

Homage to a fallen hero

Farewell Mouse Knight:
Kusakabe Tarou, The Brave.
You bravely fought the fight.

Chosen because of your fright
instead of the strength most warriors have.
Farewell Mouse Knight.

But you found out your love’s fated plight
and decided that she was one you would save.
You bravely fought the fight.

You made your wish one April night
and put one foot into the grave.
Farewell Mouse Knight.

When she was in danger in your sight,
you used your body to shield from the glaive.
You bravely fought the fight.

And before your soul lost its light,
you bowed out with a fiery wave.
Farewell Mouse Knight!
You bravely fought the fight!

– This poem is a homage to a comic chapter I read today written as a Villanelle – the style I picked for this month.

Yes, I know I’m a geek but I like this comic and I really liked the chapter today so 😛

(In case anyone’s interested, the series is called Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer and I highly recommend it.)
