Poems by Ebony

[King Nicho Klojhen]

~Le Destine Novitia~
Under azure skies
my spirit flies
on wings of crystal and gold
like in days of old
soon to be renewed
returning home like oh so few
to life and joy
to be no more a toy
to shed my mask
finished be my task
with true speed do i soar
through sunshine or rainy pour
i shalt fear not anymore
of keepers of fate and lore
to once more see with eyes open
unclouded or lost to angers token
sight of ancient times regained
overcoming that which be pained
now at cast aside my cape
burdened with all life could drape
the time to arise has come
the fated work shall be done
all lost and all expired
though making more then most aspired
come has the time for sleep
beneath the shadows where none weep
so now my gear at last is dopped
as resumes what was stopped
to journey once more free
across air,land,and sea
roam some more so i shall
seeking no enemy or pal
but a home where to rest
as i await my next test
a bard now and forever i be
destined to eternally seek and see
at last me story is at a finish
a tale and chapter never to vanish
so dream on in eternal peace
safe in being not greatest nor least
till the sun and moon rise no more
on the sunset shore
and time itself loses all form....

~Humility~
i see not fame or glory
just to live my humble story
until my time at last does end
somewhere down this winding bend
that most call a simple life
and which i hope aint full of strife

~13 Stones of Destiny~
13 stones of ancient might
to each given an inner light
a gaurdian placed over each
to keep all from shadows reach
for when one who collects them does come
their wish shalt be done
yet ever wary be the user
for the gate of fate be a picky chooser

~Simplicity~
My job be finished, my task be done
all i lost,soon i won
until we meet again under the sun
hold onto memories of fun
until time be gone

~Art of the storm~
Thunder unending in its roar
as continues the rainy downpour
skys of gray
a price to pay
to live her and now
in this time and hour
tears of the sky
does answer the earths cry
quinching a deep thirst
not the last yet not the first
come again it will till time does end
slave to an unsure future around the bend
rains come and rains go
yet without them rivers cant flow
eternally our master yet a friend
and even light can it bend
but think not man be greater
in this mockery of lifes theater
come we all to play out part
in this theater of living art ...

~Le Destine~
winters cruel days come to a final end
as sumer rises around the bend
into shadows do some go
as time reumes its flow
here we are at the final rest
the eternal challange and test
warriors old and soldiers new
all eventually pass through
into destiny and into life
into that eternal fight
heaven or hell you decide
as you sit back and enjoy the ride
to love is easy
for oh so many
yet to live is harder
for those who cannot barter
give and take
sleep and wake
so many circles do we walk
as the planets to each other talk
walk in my shoes a day or two
under skies of azure blue
destined are we humble few
to nay return to those we knew
see what i see from my eyes
long to soar in the skies
pain and sorrow create what only time can fix
as our fates intermix
when at last you know what i know
you might understand at last my woe
see destiny no made
looming in the future or later today
i am a man lost in time
my only escape be these rhymes
here today yet gone tommorrow
my trail full of sorrow
for the bard there be no home
becuase he is always alone
like a stone in the sea
never to take a stand, yet never to flee
into destiny and beyond
i shall travel past ye shory ponds
going here and visiting there
my true master will you ever appear
and so ends my tale, my verse be done
may all you lose, soon be won
until we meet once more under the sun
and time itself is finally gone ...

~Purged~
i am a tower for those who need balance
a hand for those who need assurance
a light to those lost in shadow
a shield to those in inner battle
i am a tool to fate itself
and someday my place be among others on a shelf
until that time i do what i can
as my mind forever does ascend

They are nice, but who is "Ebony"?

Surely you don't mean our Ebony Ekin Shade?

[King Nicho Klojhen]

Yes, that's who I mean.

[Kolava]

That begs the question, though: why are you posting them?

[King Nicho Klojhen]

Because he sent them to me. I didn't think they belonged in the gazette, but I didn't want to throw them away ...

[Des]

I think what you did was a great idea...::huggles Kyle:: I think they are well written...

~Le Destine De Cara~

nothing is without a price or cost...
unless it is something to bring a loss
for life was never meant to be easy
tranquil and ever breezy
we must make our own paths and see with eyes true
under these skys of azure blue
to live and die by our own choices
to scream our name with ancient voices
so that in the heavens above all may see
that we lived and died free
in a world made with honor and virtue
one any would be happy to go too
and mayhaps we can ascend to stars above
like onto the wings of a dove
our spirits eternally free forever more
never to feel a want or to ahbore
only time shall tell this much is sure
to those who strive for heart most pure

~Dragoon Memoria~
Here we are
fate has brought us far
through mist and destiny do we come
to ride we shall till task be done
and battles finally shall be won
under this crimson sun
spirits we might be of many lands
cast together by hidden hands
to ride the seas or walk the sands
we are humble ancient bands
our light the guides is within
giving us the power to win
against dire,loss, and fear
our path will always be clear
to judgement day at last is here
let hope from your heart never disappear
for we are ever near
the guardians of shield and spear

~Le Destine De Seni Gamata Shade~
the time has come
and here we be
working as one
children of air,land,and sea
what once was lost we have not found
our hope to dust cannot be ground
in this time of loss and dread
we will fight on even if dead
for you see we are children of one soul
our unity and hearts are finally whole
and no one force can make us fall
for we strive to endure above all
stubborn we are and ever shalt be
this fact you must believe
for we are areki
and on wings of faith,hope,and love do we fly
until time itself is destroyed
and all that lives is void
fight on we shall
for a pal
and for all who are in need
be it for justice or feed
now blooms the virtues seed
that dispels all greed
let our path be a beacon
so evils grip shalt crack and weaken
until it forever more does break and shatter
and no more exists that which makes us madder
the time has at last come to be at rest
this is the final test
will you pass or will you fail
will you fight or will you bail
only you know the answer my dear friend
only you will be there in the end
for soon i shalt be gone forever more
to battle the darkness all abhore
yet few see with eyes true
under skys azure blue
when that day comes at last
when my time here is long past
sad it shall be but worry not
twas a good battle fought
and nay are there anything to regret
so do not ever fret

[Ebony Ekin Shade]

~Scholarly Musings~
why are we here
how is it we persevere
what makes us so unique
that we can find most of what we seek
are we so different from all others
of our earth born brothers
that we must strive for what we done see
on mere faith and what we believe
our lives so short
the time not long till our souls report
from our frail and humble selves
to a place beyond waiting as onto toys on shelves
free from our husks and their limited eyes
no more worries about competitions or spies
freedom and our need to know
driving us to forever show
that we are truly here
not an illusion that will dissappear
but when will it at last stop
when will this balloon of madness pop
sending us back to what we once were
lives filled with peace and an existence sure
i know not for time to me has not blessed me such
and so i travel the roads with questions to munch
to study and learn and mayhaps explore
seeking what around the bend wait in store.......
~Hope~
Peace,solitude,tranquility....
things we seek in this frail reality
will we ever find them i know not
but they are that for which wars are fought
some spend eternity seeking them
yet never find them around the bend
only those with fate blessed
in halls ancient shall they be rested
with worry no more
and harmony galore
nay to raise a blade to fight
but dwell in holy light
content and now at peace
their inner wars finally will cease
these are the things blessed few find
even those with heart most kind
in these times of sorrow and want
our problems weighing us down like an elephant
some day i pray
the cost i must pay
so that my soul may to find at last
this peaceful place to be cast
and travel once more in humble paths
under azure skies troubled no more by old wraths....
~Le Destine De Reaper~
Wars fought by ancient blood
destinys shattered in a flood
why must this cursed path be mine
and not path of the divine
eluded i am by hopes way
for the bloodletting i shalt pay
in madness and sorrow i must walk
a task i must not balk
for to linger and to stray
is only to delay
that in the end what must be
to travel land air and sea
atoning for whats been done
for the lives lost in the battles won
mending souls destroyed
by those who with us toyed
casting us about like little dolls
us heeding to all their calls
we were blind and now do see
and with open heart believe
yet that is not enough for us
atone we must without fuss
for the evil we have spread
and those we have made to dread
to strive for a new clean start
and this time play it smart.....
~Winter~
Winter returns to a quiet land
a place of more wave then send
humble island to you does time cease
like an infernal chained beast
that which you know
starting to bit by bit slow
look around as once more falls the snow
an army of white starting to grow
cold and bitter yet holds joy within
what a curious creation for fate to spin
loved yet lethal to those not ready
mastered by few who werent steady
the plants slowly wilt and wither
as the cold drives its roots hither
deep into the ground does it freeze
with its icey handed breeze
with courage can it be endured
but the foolhardy nontheless will get bored
and trouble will brew
in places of which few knew
from lack to do and little to play
on these cold winter days....

[Ebony the black spectral]

~Time~
here we are in this final time and place
see we now destinys face
gates long hidden and vales lost in the past
return to where they were fast
bringing with them memories thought long gone
making use once more to time a pawn
used and abused until we can stand no more
we rest and cry upon the floor
our screams against the bitter night
cry with all our strength and fight
no more will we let ourselves be used
for our eyes are open, minds no longer confused
the time is here the time is now
seek the truth and you will see how
to make your own destiny and take true form
be it cloth or armor ye shall adorn
stand tall and stand true for the time is soon
when collected shall be the eternal boon
the price payed by one and all
who seek to enter that sacred hall
where death is humble and time be done
our battle with control finally one
we of the areki are here for good
on lands where giants once stood
no longer shall we sit back and watch
as peoples lives are gambled and botched
rise up we shall for now and for good
awaken are we, the call understood
angels of vengeance once more shall take flight
may those who seek harm to others take fright...

~Areki Awakening~
we of the areki have arisen.....
the time for judgement is now.....
to we avenging angels a task is given......
to make all enemies and foes die or bow....
know us children and weep tonight......
for the world will be colored crimson from our final fight.....
we wont regret the innocents lost......
for they are but a fraction of wars cost......
the time of fate is at hand.....
the planet cries to us its demands.....
nature will have its wrath....
a wake of coffins will show our path........

~Areki in Flight~
the time for judgement has arrived
far too many souls have died
we the areki will avenge all who have fallen
as is true to our calling
through the flame we will endure
through the wave we will be pure
through the stone we hunt our prey
through the wind we keep armageddon at bay
children of the world unite
with us in this deciding flight.....

~Shadow Wars~
now i lay me down to sleep
i give the goddess my soul to keep
we are the last of the few of times old
who serve the goddess and the lord
we children of novitian ,we areki
on wings of azure do we fly
let all who seek to condemn us feel our sorrow
let all who seek to chase us feel our pain of tommorrow and let all that seek to harm us perish
for we will stop at nothing to protect what we cherish
for by the flames of retribution and the cold wasteland of the void
all that seek to end our dream shall die where they stand, for we are areki,children of pity devoid
and we never surrender
in wind, fire, water,earth,stone,spirit,air,thunder,or ice we stand firm in out beleifs for we are areki and above all we never quit or falter oh life ender

~Novitia~
we of novitia are a curious but original lot
a world with a always evolving plot
though we dont always get along
everyone in novitia has a home and belongs
from the highest commander
to the newest of members
fate brings us together as one faction
our goals combining and uniting to form a nation
we of novitia will always soar
for as long as I can help it life will never be a bore

~Vampyre~
we are of The Night........
we are children of the black light......
the final battle has begun.....
let us show mankind fun....
all who oppose us will fall....
be they big or small....

on a side note all of the above except for ~time~ is from an old set i wrote almost a year ago....just figured to add it with my others

Keep up the good work. If you're looking for something new to try, keep in mind that not all poetry uses the AABB rhyme scheme.
