Memorandum​

A Collection of Poems and Short Stories​

This thread will hold within it some poems and short stories I've created. Most of these were made years ago, back when I was much younger and my mind wasn't as limited to my consciousness as it may be now. You can also check out my ongoing novella, Euindale if you'd like! c:

Enjoy ~

​

Spoiler: In the Darkness

In the Darkness​

In the darkness,​

Unless a moonless sky,​

The stars shiver,​

A howl echoes, a cry,​

In the darkness.​

The wind grew cold,​

The breeze grew bold.​

They approach,​

In the darkness.​

One by one,​

The stars fall to the ground,​

Their light stolen.​

And in the darkness,​

There was no sound.​

Fear their approach,​

Fear their empty souls.​

Fear the creatures,​

The creatures,​

In the darkness.​

​

​

Spoiler: Destiny

Destiny​

At the end of the road,​

At the end of their hope,​

At the edge of their destiny,​

They turned away.​

The precipice was nothing,​

Nothing they hadn't faced before.​

They weren't finished,​

They needed more.​

Looking out into the stars,​

They saw little to fill their souls.​

This end they found,​

Was riddled with holes.​

Their true journey, they realised,​

Was yet to be found.​

At the edge of their destiny,​

They turned away.​

​

​

Spoiler: Euindale: The Battle of the Stars

Euindale: The Battle of the Stars​

The way the stars dance,​

Upon the celestial skies.​

The way the light shimmers,​

Shimmers and then dies.​

The darkness that creeps,​

Like the a freezing gale, a slither.​

That darkness consumes all,​

The silence then comes thither.​

Those stars that dance,​

The stars themselves,​

Waged war upon the darkness,​

The darkness that delves.​

The battle that ensued,​

As brutal as it was long,​

The Battle of the Stars,​

Written into stone and song.​

Where once there was life,​

There was now void.​

The darkness engulfed all,​

All was devoid.​

In the years that passed,​

One light was born.​

A light brilliant and bright,​

A light of hope, adorn.​

The light drove back the darkness,​

Back to the void whence it came.​

The stars rejoiced in joy and pride,​

And thus began a time,​

The Age of the Stars, its name.​

​

​

Spoiler: A Day

A Day​

As the wind blew, I listened,
For the blowing wind whistled,
The river, glowing, glistened,
The birds sang, nestled.

The sky a bright white,
I beheld a rare sight,
Blue, no longer the light,
Soon replaced by night.

The sun fell from the sky,
In to the mountains, high.
Rain replaced the dry,
Falling, never shy.

The moon lay covered,
By clouds that devoured,
Above a flower that flowered,
As time moved forward.

The rain concluded, ceased,
The clouds vanished, pleased,
The sun rose from the east,
Life, once again, released.​

​

​

Spoiler: Euindale: The Cave of Earthbound Starlight

Euindale: The Cave of Earthbound Starlight​

Stars litter the roof,​

Of the cave within the earth.​

During nights and during days,​

Stars illuminate without dearth.​

The Books describe the cave,​

The cave that seems to exist​

Within the halls of the Stars themselves,​

Where eternal light lies in its midst.​

The Cave of Earthbound Starlight,​

As the Books have named.​

A link between the worlds,​

For its majesty, it is famed.​

A place of such brilliance and beauty,​

Of such power and grace and allure,​

Ever closer to the Stars above,​

It is as they are, blissful and pure.​

Added the poem 'Destiny' to the list, it's my favourite so far! c:

 

Added 'Euindale: The Battle of the Stars' to the list. This is going to be a series of poems depicting important events in Euindale, a land of my creation. It's supposed to be in conjunction with a small novel I'm writing but for now, I shall leave it here as a part of my memorandum.

 

I've added the poem 'A Day' to the list. It is of a much ligher theme than the others and it was made upon the request of @[member="Blisca"], who I met over at the battle server, when she asked me to look at the world in a brighter way.

 

'Euindale: The Cave of Earthbound Starlight' has been added to the Memorandum. It's basically an idea I had, during a very boring ride home, of a place where the Stars themselves can visit Euindale.

 

I'm sad to say that there will most likely be no more poems for a few months. School is almost over and my final exams approach so I'd like to devote myself to my studies. That said, I might upload a poem or two within the next couple of months if I find the time and inspiration coinciding. No promises though so don't expect it! xD

I will write more once school ends and I have the freedom of mind for it!
