Poetry

[gwynhefar]

Primarily because I realised I don't have any of this stuff online anywhere. These are all old poems that I've written, and I'll probably keep adding them as I find them on my harddrive.

"Sisters"



Oh you and I, we’ll be together
Forever and a day
We’ll dance among the purple heather
We’ll chase all our cares away



I’ll be the bush and you the rose
Safe among my thorns
Under a tree, hidden from foes
And safe from the hunters’ horns



I’ll be the lake and you the salmon
Safe in my crystal deep
The horse will break free from the whip of the ploughman
And the king will awake from his sleep



I’ll be the church and you the priest
Preaching God’s Grace and his Glory
And Beauty will save us all from the Beast,
But that is another story.



I’ll be your sister and you’ll be my sister
Forever and a day
And we’ll dance with the Dawn for the Day never missed her
And we’ll dance all our fears away.




"Stranger Things . . ."



When I woke up this morning the sky was still black,
For the sun had forgotten to rise.
And a blue moon rose over the cows coming home
As a squealing pink piglet flew by.
The newspaper headline said "Hell Freezes Over:
The Devil Comes Down with a Cold."
And a square rolled by singing an old nonsense song,
Till he tripped and fell down a round hole.
So I sat on my front porch to watch the green dawn
Spread light o'er the rosy gold grass,
And the little dog quacked at a passing white duck,
Who then promptly turned round and barked back.

When I read the first one, it seems like it wanted to be sung.

Yeah, I can see that. I'm crap at writing music though. If anyone wants to put it to a tune, they're welcome to. Just share the result with me :)

Lovely.
