**The Spirit Of The Wind**

The cool wind blew,

Past my ears,

Telling me the untold,

Stories of the past.

I was waiting for you,

In the dark night,

Under the sky,

Filled with light,

Of the ever twinkling stars.

But you did not return!

I waited by your grave,

Every day and

Every night,

But you did not return.

The wind told me,

Your story and,

I told it to the world.

I missed the soft,

Touch of your hands,

But I stood there,

Unable to help you.

I waited for you,

To return with your,

Ever dazzling smile,

But you did not look back.

My eyes started,

To fill with tears,

But I remembered,

My promise to you,

I did not falter,

After that unfortunate day.

I smiled when,

I looked at you.

I thanked the,

Cool wind that,

Showed me my path.

I can never forget you,

And I never will.

For you taught me,

The true lesson of life,

I know you are with me,

In the form,

Of that cool wind.

I will remember you,

Every day, every second!

The world will remember you,

And will never forget,

The spirit of the wind!

My friend's got a big grin

Last I ever saw him though

Burning bright, never let him go

He was a star

But he was still caged behind bars

Jail of death, set him free

Come on, just let him breath

Up in the heavens

Brightest among them

Stars looked up to him

And now they look down

On the stone with his name

Written there and pretty plain

His smile so soft

And then he was shot

Cheeks are wet with tears

Fates cut the string with shears

So what am I supposed to do

Act like I've got something true

Well I'm broken inside

And I ain't gonna lie

His star was brighter than mine

So now all can do

Is cry on right through

The service

But curse it

Should've been me

Now it's too late

How do I let him be

When he's still bringing me to tears

Put flowers at your grave

Now all I can do is crave

The good times we shared

Cause now you're gone

And I'm falling apart

And I wish upon a star

That you could breathe

Grave set you free

But I gotta let it be

Cause your gone

And it's my fault

Rei looked away just in time as scarlet blood splattered everywhere. Tears slowly rolling down her cheeks, she looked back at the inanimate corpse of her friend, with his pale skin, too-big glasses and jet-black hair, contorted into a silent, never-ending scream of agony. The long, curved dagger that had killed him was lodged firmly in his chest, where his heart was.

She looked up just in time to see a dark figure dart into the refuge of the trees. Casting one long look at her friend, Rei kneeled down and looked at his geeky face once more. I’m sorry. She thought solemnly, It’s all my fault. You wouldn’t have died if I wasn’t such an idiot. I will avenge you, even if it means I die trying.

She then stood up, her jaw set in a hard line of determination and she ran. She ran into the soft mossy stillness of the forest, where the trees towered over her, their tips almost reaching the bright silver stars. The coolness and peaceful nature of the forest almost somehow soothed her mind, making her feel all sleepy. Rei shook her head, try hard to shake off the magic of the forest. As her vision cleared, Rei finally saw it.

The demon was a dark, dark black with scaly reptilian skin. It stood on four of its legs, its white face a mess of melted, sunken in features. Its eyes where tiny glittering onyx orbs of malice. The demon charged towards her with its grotesque mouth hanging open, opaque slime dripping out. Rei stood her ground, her daggers in hand. She threw two towards its eyes, momentarily hindering it. The demon roared in agony, clawed at its eyes, and merely started running towards her faster than before. Rei ran, ran for her life, but the demon was on her heels.

With a jolt of terror, Rei realized that her strength was waning and she was slowing down, and the thing seemed to run even faster than before. She was going to die. The last thing she saw was a spray of her own scarlet blood before her vision faded into still, black darkness. I tried, Luke, I tried. And I died trying. I'm sorry. It's still my fault.

### Emperors Potato, Lord of Dawi and Spuds

The soft tears of the stars

Descend on a cooling world

A world broken open

As barren as mars

OOOO

Defcon two then defcon one

The fun begins on the second

Ready bombs and load the guns

Nuclear war is here!

Have no fear,

The Empire will triumph!

Strike the enemies

With atomic fury!

1.2.3 four

We are off to nuclear war

Though the capitols gone

We still are not done!

Drop the bombs and load the guns!

Destruction is plenty fun!

Who cares about the drops cost?

If we don’t the war is lost!

A nuclear winter descends on all shores

Nobody lives there anymore

After the warfare the destiny of earth is sealed

A victim of nuclear war

There tou go. Was thinking about whatever happened in CK2 after the end, poems, and how I had to beat Caleb, and though Hey what if I made a poem song thing

Remmeber guys, Nuked are like drugs. Don’t do them. That’s the moral of the story

### Samirah ara

The girl sat on the raft, in the middle of the river, her cat at her side. The cool breeze rippled the water, and made the trees on the bank sway. The girl stroked her cat, somewhat absentmindedly, feeling the soft fur beneath her fingers. The cat purred quietly beneath the girls hand. High up above them, the stars shone brightly, illuminating the heavens. They hung up there in the sky, like frozen tears, forever suspended in place. The girl and the cat watched as a star silently fell from its place in the sky, and disappeared beyond the horizon. They both turned and watched as the sky began to slowly light up, as the sun began to break free of the earth, and rise into the sky.
