clouds of sanguinary distress
in my dreams
Glorious and bloody
or so it seems
How do thoughts
turn so grim?
Is it my depression
that builds this whim?
I see it coming
in my dreams
The scissors cutting
Fate at its seams

NaPoWriMo #3
before the fearsome dragon
I softly ask her number;
No response happens
My mood much colder
than the shake she served
Before I leave, a tug on my shirt
Shyly she hands over her note
The sun hits my face out the door
I feel the shadow lift; sorrow fades to glee

NaPoWriMo #3
and hide my sorrow
for my procrastination
Self motivation;
Such a hard occupation
Fighting unproductive delay
I know I am able, but may
I, in my defense, say
Procrastinator unite on the morrow

NaPoWriMo #2
As I ordered my root beer float
Bonny girl behind the counter
Scared to ask her number in this encounter
She seemed quick to judge
I, a mountain of terror, did not budge
The girl sweeps past me with a wink
I'll find the courage to ask her; I think

NaPoWriMo 04.04.08
Beholding the encompassing sky
You begin to wonder why
I have brought you to this bay
Cuddling under the warm blanket
Enjoying our new found love
You wonder, like me, if we'll make it
I know as true as the flight of the turtle dove
I see the stars like you
Lighting even the darkest places too

For the Emperor
In the Emperor
His enemies I rend
As his Ereberor
Much blood have I
Spilled in his name
Many bodies torn asunder
A champion's won fame
Last words I hear
When I cannot mend
Only in death
Does duty end
Call to Arms
Defend with pride
My dear country
I eagerly enlist
Rigorously I train
They happily ship
Over there
Here a war
A battle yet again
My country's honor
I must protect
Raise the banner high
Into the battle
I carry my blade
Ready to strike
Like a rich man's chattel
Where there is no shade
Helos hover like the shrike
Hornets slap the dune
My fort, I dig
Deep in the self filling sand
My helmet stifles
The rifle exposed,
Ablaze my hand
What a war
What a place
Here; Over there
Another move
Another hole
Dig in, ready? No
One more bomb
A man left dead
His body in shreds
No sleep tonight
The stars too bright
To fray my fright
Time to march
The daily routine
The endless desert
Shock waves rip through
Our ranks; make due
Bury them in the sand
To serve and protect
To fight and die
While media prattles
This time it was me
I had no chance to see
Only hearing a rifle's rattle
My body fell limp
The sand my shroud
A shallow grave
Send word to my mother
I died in another
War my country waged

A shot at a sonnet
If there was a fairer lass I had seen,
She could not compare to my daft Fanny;
My other half, completed, she has been,
Her gift for arousal is uncanny!
Always one for cheerful smiles, with glee
She bore afree mind, for which used oft
On me to bring pleasure eternity
Her cries louder than the full choir loft
Alas comes end to our fun, she onto
Another must she run, her job is done
She is my joy fulfilled with adieu
With grace she will succeed in the long run,
To haunt my every sparked fantasy!
Her loins are my cage; I have lost the key!

Elegy for my Great Grandmother
In passage
Of much time
Bear no grief
Shed not tears
Raise your head
Open mind
Heart agape
Ears unshut
I begin
This, a sad
Elegy
Mourn not death
Praise only
Deathless deeds
Let these feats
Warm our souls
In ill times
Remember
Nostalgia
Thy passed kin

Julia
I
Under my nose
The fair maiden
Sat gleefully
In pious daze
Oh, Julia!
My heart lept out
Oh, Julia!
Venus did shout
I longed to see
What we could have
I ached to meet
My twin once halved
She says she fell
For me from high
I fell also
I went awry
In my crazy
Awkward ways to
Attract her, I
Succeeded not
It was not true
I was too rich
In a wealth- wealth
of emotion
Like an overcast
A shadow overwhelmed
Her still shown grace
Her friends think ill
Do no listen!
Their young mouths spurt
Words immature
Of him, the me!
She listened, sad
Really for me
I fell hard, yes
The fly hits rock
Ignore me, go!
We could have had
Our sadness shed
You as my light
Depression sets
Its fangs dig deep
Another bout
Sadness thy game
My pen sorrow
My paper soul
I begin it
Tragedy's name
To Julia
My almost, dear
Bonny and apt
Wicked and sly
Can you not see
It was meant to
Be? So I plead
Repent to thee
A wall of steel
Held up by tears
We hide ourselves
Out of these fears
In truth be told
We are players
On the sad stage
Called passing life
We act the part
Only to deceive
All who wish to
See behind mask
I fade out now
Go to my dark,
gloomy corner
Cosmos collapse
II
The sudden bang
My thoughts expand
Waves of reason
Wash away mourn
Realize I live
Sill on in life
Wounds heal and teach
Lessons through strife
Licked and splinted
Scars always fade
Just allow time
Good things are made
I served my time
In asylum
Of quick, just love
She slips my mind
I move on now
To a better,
Perhaps, chaff life
A road hard won
2.05.2008
Sweet nothings
Unshut your bonny eyes
Lift up your heart
Inhale the morning light
And listen to me say
Smile you are beautiful
Madness is thy name
In you I confide
Trust and my amour
Here in a bonkers way
2.04.2008
Back from the Brink
Happiness I see
To Venus I plea
Please let it be she
She brings much glee
I feel on a spree
Running with thee
I am free

Build these fantasies
The strive of fame
Become the reality
Or fall in shame

Untimely End
Bards sing my tale
Few as skilled
Always I prevail
Meet my cessation
Beneath this face
Odin! He demands an explanation
Am I a disgrace?
Odin! His eye not deem me weak
Puzzling is my unbroken chain mail
Look! The battle on the peak
Respond with a chuckle "I fell"

Ascension
I will only rise
Be welcomed to Glory's halls
Winged maidens sound their horns
My time is not now
Many more must my blade fell
Hitherto many have fallen
Fallen but not dead
Their deeds scorch the land
As fire across a sheep's coat
Raise a stein to our brethren
Who have already ascended
Carry on
It is the only certainty
For all whom die
Only the brave live again
Forever our deeds reign
Into enternity we make merry
Waiting in that great hall
Until Ragnorok calls
On that day
Odin bid us fall, call glory!
By his side we stand
To meet our final end

"Corey, I am not going to lie, I thought you were a loser, but you're actually really [insert synonym for cool here]"
You thought I was no one
You will get out done
I have just begun
And you have none
You are just a pun
While I am the new bull run
So stop watching reruns
Hang out with the new ones
My crew and the funs
We have with loaded guns
I have three full tons
Of fucking hamburger buns
Will you buy one
