3Risen
Take from this only what you can carry. I don't like summaries because the only way I can give you one is by telling you basically what this means. Why read it if you already know what it means? Right. Read it.Poetry: War, K, English, Tragedy, words: 118, 9/7/2005
1Priest of Mercy
There might be some method to the madness of all storms. There certainly is to this one, but only so many people might unravel it: the patient, the wise, or the most terribly fortunate.Poetry: Nature, K, English, words: 132, 7/29/2005
1The Frozen Throne
The blood of kings flows through her veins. Is it not a pity?Poetry: General, K, English, words: 206, 7/26/2005
Blademaster
Though a poem (and rather in short as a result), this piece is wont to be enjoyed by lovers of dark fantasy. This tells of the blademaster, an immortal being most like a god. A powerful metaphor gives this description much more depth.

Homecoming
A complement to one of my more recent poems "The Abandoned Playground," this one expresses the same nostalgic sentiment. Sometimes it's not easy to go home, if only because you have to look on that place with cynical eyes.
