True Kolava but its the style i prefer..as they say, to each their own

[Ebony the Wandering Soul]

~Voices in the wind~
time you be our eternal judge
yet you guide us without grudge
into lands of ancient day
a simple price do we pay
for truth kindness
to ye eternal witness
for love hope
so we can better cope
though the days might be long and hard
and the nights a tax on those of the bard
in light do we rise up and rejoice
and never look back on our choice
as our voices join the wind
with faith can we turn the bend
now fall the blossems of cherry to the ground
and what we lost have we found
a home,a life,a family at last
discard we can now our darker past
to walk once more on hollowed land
for met is the inner demand
with peace can at last we walk
as with friends do we talk
for within our souls be a jewel
a fragment that is fates eternal tool.....

~crimson snow~
in winters night have i seen the darkness
a bitter chill that ever harkens
it call and gnaws and ever does seek
hoping for a future dark and bleak
yet as the snow falls like frozen tears from the sky
on wings once more can we fly
for we know ourselves to be true
from days in the past when we flew
in azure sky and twilight night
trouble battle humble and viscious fight
crimson was the days long past
oh how they passed so fast
like a blur of madness and light
a dancer of knives ancient flight
but alas to what good
is a legacy hidden in a hood
when in the end nothing do you have
but a crimson snowy path
of what you did and what you were
when all your heart knew was how to hurt
sadness and bitterness are sour bedfellows
that dwell in those whos soul rests forever bellow
so try for the light and inner hope
and mayhaps within you can find the inner knight or pope....

~Within Wind and Stone~
written in stone some say mant things be
yet to those who with clear sight we see
only that which has been long gone and lost
ideal put forth at a great cost
for behind every notion, idea, and writ
a greater loss rests then any effect can hit
for we learn from mistakes always
as we walk these ancient hallways
looking upon what has come before
a peek into times hidden door
on a life long forgotten and sometimes dull
when someone felt fates pull
and answered with utmost zeal
rising to the challange without appeal
sometimes for good others for wrong
who is to say when beats destinies gong
perception my dear chap is the key
that decides who we be
is a man who runs a coward or brave
many judge on who he later does save
why must we judge on deed alone
and yet not on character atoned
here as i sit and write
within me brews an inner fight
for sorrow and anger intermix
in ways only they can click
for great is the woe that i do know
heavy is the burden i must tow
for my time is not yet come
for my day to at last be done
and my deeds be written within stone
while wind blows above my home of bone.....

[Ebony the Wandering Soul]

the poem Within Wind and Stone i dedicate to my cat who died last night btw...Lucky Seven whos luck ran out at the age of 2 and whos soul rests beyond us all now, in a better place and home then can be found on this earth.....

~Trials of Sorrow~
to all comes a time when woe is at its peak
and inside they feel truely weak
for their loss be ever great
as cruelty visits their fate
to all who have known this time
felt the void within chime
and known sadness beyond true words
let me be truely forward
though death and pain be known too well
those we cared for know no more hell
at last true peace can they find
as they move on and leave us behind
its the memories we keep within our heart
that let us move on to play our part
and help others who have known what we do
to make the best of what they have been through
for if we close off our hearts and deny our selves
we might as well be toys on shelves
lifeless and without a soul
that which makes us full and whole
long does the bell toll
within us that burns like a coal
in throat and chest both
feelings few feel should be wrote
but screamed raging against the bitter night
fought with our souls in flight
in eternal battle against the cold
that knows not gender and cares not how old....

[Ebony the Black Spectral]

~Crimson Tears from the Skies~
Crimson tears fall from the sky as silent darkness comes
sins from the past we all shall bear for what mankind does,
into darkness and into night do we silent keepers seek
as from the innocent are culled those too weak,
shattered souls and crimson lakes slowly fill this ancient land
as chaos and death once more join hand in hand,
who are we to stand in its way us children of a forsaken time
our boddies fragments of what screamed once in our mind,
once proud and noble to a flaw
we headed not those who with eyes open saw,
our end upon the coming eve
with false hope and insight we let others decieve,
now in the darkness do they travel
creatures and beings bent on a single goal to unravel,
all that we have made and all that we once were
to be gone leaving not even a memories blur,
erased to the last without any hope
how can we who stand remaining cope,
in time mayhaps we will also see
what fate means us to be......

~Musings~
People say many things but when the time of truth comes do so little
are souls truelly so false and brittle,
that what they say is a lie to what they do
do they not know anything true,
its often said that the greatest men are known to all
yet why is it they are only seeable once they fall,
and martyrs are they for a cause they might have known little about
becuase of word passed from one to another from mouth,
so many decieving lies in this cruel dark world
hopefully truth will cleanse all soon in a glorious caring swirl......

[Ebony the Wandering Soul]

~Paths~
Times and tides forever entwine
as decided be destiny divine
many choices many a path
will it lead to heavely treasure
or hellish wrath
only fate knows as we walk on feet unsure
seek we do a hidden guide
as we live this destiny divine
but will it help us we cant know
until at last its hand it does show
and by then its far too late
accept we must our chosen fate
as we cross that sealing gate
and wonder what might have been
as we sit,tranquil in fates den

[Ebony the Jester DM]

~Random Musings~
a tear drop falls to the ground
another party says its goodbyes
why must the world be so cold and cruel
why must we strive only to fall and die
life our eternal judge and master
keeps us running ever faster
in the end when we rest
we learn just how we faired on this test
of twists and turns and hidden doors
a life that is fun yet ever bores
patience...truth....hope...
so fragile yet our only rope
from a pit of eternal despair
from which there be no repair
here comes the reaper i know him well
to take my soul to heaven or hell
some fear others rejoice
for eaches destiny has been decided by their choice
of how they took their humble path
victems now for their own wrath
their decisions come back to ever haunt them
in that final cold sweet end................

[Ebony the ever bored]

~Le Destine De Des~
In all things is pain, in all things sorrow...
no one knows what awaits them tommorrow...
all we can do is try our best
in this eternal confounded test
where we are but pawns at times it seems
as sanity and reality seem to be torn apart at the seams...
some have asked how i can rest at night as i am and will ever be
all the while they are blind and cannot see
that i live my life one day at a time and face my inner demon
and in the end the truth alone will remain
for i hide not from my pains and problem many
todo so would be unwisest of moves of any
death be thou not humble and nor be i
if it wants me its gotta fight
for on wings of inspiration and hope does my spirit fly
and onto life do i hold tight
any who think they can live my life better let them come and try
but mine be one spirit that wont quit and die
a child of le lune and brother of pain and flame
i walk the balance between the mad and the sane
born under a water sign
fighting against my lifes design
with an ever expanding mind
who knows what at journeys end i might find
but when at last i do lay down that final time
never again will i rise and rhyme
for only when i have no more to give will i lay to rest
the burden thats ever been part of my test...
my life, my love, all that i am and will ever become
will only be put aside when i am done.........

~Choices of Fate~
As time goes on the music does fade
turns now does another page
what was shall be no more
what is shall arise from where it was stored
we are all children of fate in one way or another
guided by faith and earth mother
but when we reach beyond what we are
we at times crash or excel rather far
to soar or dive that is for you to decide
for soon comes the defining time
will you give into that blessed sweet silence
or take up arms and fighting stance
will you bow down and except defeat
or brace for battle on marching feet
we are what we beleive we can be
this has been made clear for me to see
when the last page finally turns
and the world with darkness or light burns
only then will it be too late
to decide you own fate......

[Ebony the Wanderer]

~visions~
Sages and seers, ancients with peer
who are we to know what form they shall wear
a message comes in many forms
in words, in symbols, in letters torn...
in ancient day by oiled flame
or darkest night by light of the sane
truth wears many masks
and walks ever more paths
who are we to judge what is and will be
if we are blind in what we see
take a trip with me in my trip
as from the glass of probabilities do we sip
hundreds of choices and thousands to come
each resolving when one decision is done
but what of those other roads
do they vanish like shriveled toads
forgotten as life speeds on over them
bringing their existence to a possible end
or do they merely wait their turn
for their candle to finally burn
and it be their chance to make
their path to take
and our dream from which to wake
and see gone all we forsake............

~Duel of Ebonys Heart~
Stars of winter night
eyes open with new sight
as the claws and blades clash one more
seen is a beauty few can properly adore
now to walk upon a new path
to face eternal bliss or past wrath
only time will tell
if this will become a personal heaven or hell
a walk of a million days begins within
leading one to justice or sin
as ones heart burns and blazes
eyes clouded by loves hazes
what truelly is love to be so strong
to take on madly on a journey long
through cold winter nights
and burning summer fights
the blood boils faster and hotter
to a point control is a bother
and so wages within a eternal battle
that seperates the strong from the cattle
to resist long enough to be whole
or to give in like a lowly vole
the heart and mind wage war on one another
like twin dueling brothers
while the soul sits back and waits
for the revealing of the cards of fate.......

[ebonythewanderer]

~le destine goldenmyst~
in times of sorrow
when unclear is tommorrow
a shining hope awaits within
for those who can look past their own deepest sin
darkness and doubt
cannot bring about
what the heart desires
that which fuels peoples fires
can you see into your soul
will you make the kingdom whole
ask yourself as you look deep
let the truth inward seep
only you know the answer
how to cure this inner cancer
the fate of many rests in you
show them the path that is true
now is the time now is the place
the final test the final race
if you can find within the needed peice
the kingdom at last will be at ease....

~Clear Eyes~
once was a time when i saw clear
when my eyes were open and there was no fear
then i saw something i wanted not to see
in my heart i wanted to not beleive
but truth cannot be hidden from in a cave
it must be faced by soul brave
embracing what was denied
letting my soul become in pain deep fried
at last i know my purpose and path
no matter the cost or the wrath
to tell the tale of the lost lands
as the ancient knowledge expands
forever true must i be now
in this time in this hour
with these words do i tell how
to give back the land its power.....
