Ninjas



Ninjas
01-30-2005
This one is for christmas,
it was written a long time ago,
about two of my nephews. :)


Little solider following me around everywhere
Like I’m his idol or something.
Little guy tries to tell me why he cares
But, we can’t understand anything.

And when we hear foot-steps,
We know just who it is.
He tells us all the secrets we want kept
And claims everything is his.

Chorus:
After a long day,
You take my fears away.
Patch, in a way,
You will always be my son.

Little ninja thinks about one thing
And one thing only.
He’ll choose that game over anything
And without it, he gets lonely.

And, when we hear that laugh,
We know just who it is.
He tries to do his little rap
And claims the words are his.

Chorus (#2):
After a long day,
You take all my fears away.
Ati, in a way,
You will always be like
The little brother I never had.

Curse Upon This Land



Curse Upon This Land
03/04/2012


Now, the fog comes,
And fills our streets with confusion.
We cannot find our way through it,
So we stay indoors, and hope everything
Turns out for the best.

That is the state of our nation now,
After the horrific death of an imperfect emperor.
He wasn’t the greatest ruler we ever had,
But he certainly did what he could,
With the limited resources he was given.

All the people ask now,
Why did another member of this family
Have to pass away so swiftly?
We knew you had a few enemies,
But, we didn’t think it’d come to this,
We can only hope that the young prince
Will lead us to greater prosperity.

It’s a sad day today,
There is corruption within’ our borders,
It turns out, that all along,
Within’ our very own home,
There was a sinister plot,
That unraveled on that unfateful night.

There is a sense of paranoia
Filling our streets.
Everybodys watching their back,
Looking all four directions
Looking for the monster
That destroyed a good man.

When you have so much fog surrounding your land,
It’s hard to see what might be lurking.
It’s very possible that a snake
Could have been slithering around,
And we never seen it coming.
(We never seen you coming.)

All the people ask now,
Why did another member of this family
Have to pass away so swiftly?
We knew you had a few enemies,
But, we didn’t think it’d come to this,
We can only hope that the young prince
Will lead us to greater prosperity.

Daddy



Daddy
03-17-2011

I remembered the day it happened.
The day you passed away and your
Eccentric brother took over the throne.
Everyone had good things to say about you daddy.
They said you were the best emperor of all,
And I should be proud to have a dad like you.
If only you could have lived longer
To watch me grow up.
Tell me daddy,
What would you say to me right now?

I walk along this obstacle course of a life
Just waiting to find an answer…
As to why life has to be this way.
I put letters on your grave,
I sob and cry your name,
But, you never answer me.

Every day in the present is filled with such gratitude,
It feels so lucky to be a future king.
But, nobody knows the empty hole I have
From having only one parent…
I only get one answer,
One point of view,
One side of the equation.
I want to know what’s on the other side.

I walk along this wreck of a lifestyle
Just hoping for an answer from my God…
As to why my daddy can’t see me succeed.
I always smile back at the crowd,
And wish the best for this empire,
Things were certainly better when my daddy was alive.

What a test I have been given,
What a road I’ve chosen to follow.
Looking out into the road of the future,
I know exactly what this empire needs…
They deserve a better ruler like me
To make one final fight for this empire.

In The Chamber Of Fate



In The Chamber Of Fate
03/04/2012
This is a darker poem...
on supposedly doomsday lol. 


I snuck right into your chamber,
Crept around until I found where you were hiding.
There was a couple torches lit,
As, you were writing in your journal.
I stepped behind a barrel
Where you couldn’t see me,
As you studied away (studied away)
On government, on kingdoms, on wars…
I listen as you chuckle to yourself,
And wonder how such a great researcher
Could make such a woeful ruler.

Pre-Chorus:
I had a cross-bow in my hands,
I didn’t know if I’d have guts to use it.
I think about all the anguish this could cause,
But, I just have become so obsessed with power,
That I felt like this was the only option left
To gain the throne,
And put this country on the right track.

Chorus:
My hands shake as I pull the trigger,
I’m filled with such regret,
Even before the arrow pierces your skin.
I watch as the blood flies everywhere,
And you slowly grab at your neck,
And you drop to the ground.

I rush over to you,
With tears swelling in my eyes.
I cry at first over the fact I’m a murderer,
But, eventually, I laugh,
I laugh hysterically, cause I’m overwhelmed,
By the reality of what I’ve done,
As well as the excitement
 over securing the throne.

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

I pick up your body,
Clean up the blood,
Take the arrow out,
And set the scene up,
To make it look like it
Was someone else.

I leave the chamber of fate,
To alert the country, and my family,
That the emperor of 11 years is gone,
And there will be a new man to lead
This nation now.

In The Garden Of Love



In The Garden Of Love
03-28-2011 to 04-08-2011


I follow the path through the garden
And I see you waiting so innocently.
Young Love has opened my mind
To the thoughts of who will marry me.

You’re a lower class citizen,
So we have to meet in secret.
My family doesn’t know of our adventures,
They’re too busy in the chaos of war
To know what we have together
In the garden of love.

Your hand reaches my hand,
And you tell me of your history.
I listen with all my pride,
Trying my best to control my desires.

You sneak out late at night,
Cause you hate your father.
You can’t stand the politics
Of this nation,
So we just chat about the matters
That concerns our relationship.

I put my hand on your hand,
And tell you of my victories,
You listen with all your might,
But, I know you’re just playing shy.

You prefer to take things slow,
And I adhere to your demands,
I would never do something foolish
To scare you away for good.
Someday I’ll break the news
Of the girl I want to marry,
And my family will learn to accept it…

Da Da Da… Da Da Da
Da Da Da… Da Da Da
I’m In love.

Da Da Da… Da Da Da
Da Da Da… Da Da Da
So In Love.

Wedding bells will ring in the garden of love
As I slip the diamond on your finger,
And kiss you with all my passion.
I’ll carry you in my arms,
Look into your charming eyes,
And tell you I’m the luckiest man on earth.
