Entry #1

Black, Blue, White, and Red
All of them are connected to the Rose princess by a thread
White rose is a healer who flirts the princess as he sees her
While Blue Rose is a chemist that wants to be stronger
Black Rose has many secrets he doesn't tell
But the Red Rose's feelings for her still swell
The Arcania cards is what they fight for
Each step brings a new door
Working together as a team
But also, best friend

Entry #2

Title: Servant of Fate

In this confusing life,
All I see is you,
And through all the tears and strife,
I want us to be true.

Your departure broke my heart,
Tore it cleanly into two,
But though we are apart,
I know the other half's with you.

Do you miss me out there?
Think of me amidst it all?
Does my face cause you to fear,
That alone you may fall?

But though my heart aches,
And longs to be with you,
I stand with a brave face,
Knowing I must stay strong for you.

So that when we reunite,
You may see forged from pain,
A stronger better knight,
Than you saw when last you came.

Loyalty forged from longing,
Strength forged from pain,
Solitude from not belonging,
Though my heart remains the same.

At last when you returned,
I smiled at you once again,
Knowing that this is what I'd earned,
And that my efforts were not in vain.

But your face presented a different image,
From what I'd imagined before,
Instead you had a cold visage,
With loving looks no more.

You grew cold and heartless,
And ruled with an iron fist,
But this made me love you no less,
Though your affections would be missed.

And so I stayed by your side,
Committing atrocities at your command,
Because my affections I'll never hide,
Even if it meant to die at your hand.

And then the day came,
When your servants did rebel,
They wished you sorrow and pain,
And cursed you to hell.

But I stood up knowing,
It was my time to shine,
I knew my time was up,
And that this fate should instead be mine.

So I hid you away,
And instead took your place,
To prevent your suffering that day,
And take in your disgrace.

So amidst their curses loud,
I put on a brave face,
Smiled happily at the crowd,
And said goodbye to this place.

I hope you remember me,
Not for what I'd done,
But as the lover I was meant to be,
And for you your shining sun.

Entry #3

Title: Lock and Key

I always wondered who would be
Who would be the one for me
I waited so long and never did see
The one to complete me
Like a lock and a key
But then one day my eyes did see
See that you were the one for me
See that we were truly meant to be
See that you were my lock and my key

Entry #4

Title: Karen

Friends come and go
Like my friend once ago
I haven't seen her in years
I feel like shedding some tears
We were like Peanut butter and Jelly
We drew funny faces on my belly
Sometimes we had a fight
But at the end she was right
We fought about silly things
We cut out some card-board wings
Everything was going smooth
So we took a picture inside a booth
Till the day she moved everything was crazy
The day was so hazy . . .

Entry #5

Title: Spring and Beginning of Summer

The season of flowers,
that grow throughout the hours.
rain and sun,
spring has begun!~
butterflies, worms, and bugs,
and small flowers in mugs.
refreshing air,
blows through my hair.
splashing in my face, water from a hose.
it's feels cold, but i hold my pose.
weeds and flowers bending,
Spring is ending.
Summer is here,
so put on your swimming gear!~

Entry #6

You are the only one
who can bring light to my heart
You are the sun
My own piece of art

but soon you'll go
I'm giving you away.
I'll end this show
and throw it into the bay

He is waiting for you
Im just your huide.
I already knew,
that we'd have to divide

You may grow to hate me,
but please don't forget me.

Entry #7

Today morning I went on Gaia
There was a contest from the guild Shouoto Ara

It was a contest about poetry
Then I was wonderring how my poem will be

because someone like me
can't not write so much beauty

I'm really bad at this staff
I'll just make people laugh

My poem is just a disaster
Hope next time i'll make it better

Entry #8

my eyes are red
like the sun but they feel
like the darkness of the nite
one wish i hv will stay
a dream to fly away
to travel to the sea but
being held back by
the bonds of war an
the shed of blood
nvr to see the sky so blue

Entry #9

Title: Invisible

I walked down the streets filled with people,
Yet no one noticed my spirit wandering.
I walked down paths with twists and turns,
And still I’m left pondering.
When I walked in cold the night,
Who saw me (I’m just wondering)?
I crept into a dark alley,
Where I saw a very bright light.
I was captivated by my fright;
I fell asleep and I slept,
Until I heard a fight.
I was scared, But I stayed, And I wept.
I slowly made my way out,
And then I fell to the ground at someone’s great might.
I saw a bird; Slowly move off the ground in flight.
I felt sorry, In my weekend and sorry plight.
I looked to the sky, With no stars in sight,
And I promised myself, No more will I be invisible,
No more will I hide in plain sight,
No more shall the people around me ignore me,
No more shall I stay on the ground,
And no more shall I give myself up in broad daylight.

[note to author: this was sent in paragraph format - i assumed it was meant to be in "poetry format" (i don't know if thats what it's called xP ) and made it into lines. if this bothers you, just let me know.]
