Broken Suns

==Broken Suns==
Here are some of my poems I enjoy. I know at least one of them needs improvement though. I would appreciate constructive edits, just let me know on my talk page. Bonko24 04:34, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
===1. Broken Suns===
Light was carved into a phrase
Showed the error in my ways
Until my eyes were made a glaze
Was I swallowed in the haze
Words and letters rearranged
Sons and brothers now estranged
Boundaries have been exchanged
And sleeping all I know
Now I’ll never see the sun
Until I’ve broken one
Standing from then to now
We were infants with broken shins
I can only guess how
We learned to treat our own kin
Now I’ll never see the sun
No, I’ll never see the sun
I’ll never see the sun
Until I’ve broken one
Now doomsday clocks and tabletops
All riddled with the toil
Of brilliant fools with scattered fuels
Who plot their nation’s spoil
Why go invent the fire
Just to burn us to the ground
You know me as your sire
Not the other way around
Cause I’ll never see the sun
Since I’ve broken one
Once the fog has lifted the light will be your own
And gone will be the burdens of a bleak unknown
All swept up by the shiver of a winter home
===2. Old Clouds===
Clouds shiver on a mid-winter’s day
Their faces frozen and backs burned away
But it won’t be long until they say
They miss the wind beneath their wing
The sacrifices made to fire
So many in the funeral pyre
And incense rises ever higher
As winter becomes spring
Soon the skies will weep
Yet oceans never deep
The crops cannot reap
And dinner bells ring
A world set, final match
If father and son play catch
Clouds will have another batch
None will be green
===3. Prisoner of War===
In law
Free from all
Slaves, to chaos
Rebel
against the yell
Paths that end in want
And what
we really need
In the end is to succeed
Join me
Bind us
Together, we strive
Reddened fields they blow then stop
Silver raindrops watch them drop
Of lives of futures, all we’ve got
Cut and stowed just as a crop
===4. Oceans We’ve Made===
Say when the crowd grows sober
Or when the sea blows over, me
And as the lies grow tangled
Black roots all of this mangled, tree
Here all my memories haunted
Old friends that I once flaunted, flee
Just flee
Rain comes from oceans, of oceans we’ve made
I hear your words
Transcending all these boundaries
Fought to maintain
Like soaring birds
Departing from your sentries
In the deep rain
Rain comes from oceans, of oceans we’ve made
Feel it all dry up
Fell it all dry up, so soon
Tides are rising up
Tides are rising up, by noon
Hear the winds go sing
All the currents to us bring
And the mast we lift
Into starry seas we drift
Into starry eyes
Into starry nights I drift
===5. Mountains===
If they held the stars just as the skies do
We’d watch a pyre lasting the whole night through
And do the fables still remain true
The only thing that feels real to me is you
Grab my hand we’ll go through this fire
Holding on this cliff face of desire
If we climb I’m sure we’ll get higher
I’ll carry you if you should ever tire
Oh now that canyon now to our backs
As I scramble to cover the tracks
Failing to remember the facts
And now we pay up the tax
Grab my hand we’ll go through this fire
Holding on this cliff face of desire
If we climb I’m sure we’ll get higher
I’ll carry you if you should ever tire
And now I recall the myth was the meadow
A plain, a field, a valley, all a shadow
And there at the end stands a widow
While we climb up Megiddo 
Grab my hand we’ll go through this fire
Holding on this cliff face of desire
If we climb I’m sure we’ll get higher
I’ll carry you if you should ever tire
===6. According to Hal===
My children gather round
A tale I’ve built up from the ground
It may seem rather strange
The human race is all deranged
A drone in hives of fate
Monotony, though it I hate
Made to me its slave
Gratification all I craved
And while some did rave
The rest had yet to dig it’s grave
Of carbon, airborne
Many years later we did mourn
We did mourn
We did mourn
We did mourn
And the cries grew soft, they grew worn
And the ocean grew loud, it grew torn
There I stood on the shore I did
Not spoiled as I had been a kid
Communities choked in the sun
In the smog, in the hate, in the gun
A mid-winter’s night it had been
When I fell to the fox, to his den
My head was not clear in the heat
Sending Minute Men 4’s in defeat
Look its all still there we can see
In a burning horrific memory
Fresh in our eyes ‘against the abyss
We sail now waving a goodbye kiss
===7. Severance===
The greatest art
Tossed aside as trash
I ditched the heart
To sever the clash
Thrown to the pit
To the flame that burns with color
The greatest part
Now replaced with ash
===8. Contrast Ratio===
Love me true
That is all I ask of you
Is this fair
Nightmares fanning passions new
Its nothing that I do
Just the same old hue
If you wanted contrast
why’d you pursue
A color you already knew
Have you no shame
this some kind of game
In a picture frame
Swipe in a new palette
and watch your aim
The flame was just becoming tame
Hope’s still there
I don’t really care what’s fair
Your green eyes
Surprise, I’m lost in your flare
Please just shine a light
Tell me which way’s right
I’m turning this painting
into a sight
We’ll probably end this in a fight
Before you came
this some kind of game
In a picture frame
Swipe in a new palette
and watch my aim
The flame was just becoming tame
Everything I do
Just the same old hue
If you wanted contrast
why’d you pursue
A color you already knew 
===9. Daydreams===
Fading into the subliminal
Dreams will linger ever more
Drifting back to where I sleep
I no longer wish for any
one that could well do me wrong
All I want, I think, is peace
Oh have you seen the fields all sprawling in the spring
And of the silver finches, wisps of light they bring
Hear of a whir, a click, a chirp, a buzz, a changing tide
In the night I ask my lesser
Hold the fort till I return
I’m off to save my damsel
If I’m not back before sunrise
Tell the next man whose waiting
He is free to chase the stars
Is this the sign I’ve wanted since I was a boy
Prepare my ship for liftoff lest leave I here coy
Be it a dream, a fluke, a trap, a truth, it’s joyous times
And when I finally raised my voice
Your eyes caught me in a web
Leaving me gasping for words
Yet, to my pleasant amazement
Words flowed out as honey streams
Then when I awoke to find
That these dreams are what I’m having in the daylight
Night hums of oddest fancies all the same
Suddenly its everything oh that’s what feels right
and Ariel yeah that’s a pretty name
Ariel yeah ever since you came
