He walked into the building, eyed the elevator quickly filling The stairs seemed more fitting for the heavy task at hand. Yet the solitude makes for empty afterthoughts To the adjacent elevator he made way at once.
His eyes to the cityscape, fervent work to something great Hoping he wouldn't hate having to leave his fellow man. When the bell rang the top floor he slowly walked Found the service staircase, and made his way at once.
The stairway held a frigid draft, as the stairs became a path Shaking was his hand as he put it forth towards the door. Pausing for a moment to savor the sense of touch But it was trivial at best, and he opened it at once.
The atmosphere was strong, the walk just felt so long But it was all spot-on for the delicate task at hand. He found solace in the snow falling from even higher up As he approached the ledge, then down he fell at once.
-my inspiration here was The Raven.
I just took this from my more popular myspace blog, but whatever.
The elusive nebula comes together As a fog condensing to life The fiery pressure, ever stronger Gives birth to a glorious light
The vernal star gathers heavenly bodies A galaxy slowly aligns Graceful orbits, in unison, silently Callow in the eyes of time
The seasoned moons take on craters Atmospheres change and age Our radiant beacon, how glory awaits her The solar system a massive parade
She's inured in the heavens, a fixation of wonder Settling as aeons go by Weathered lucent testament, shines like no other Sits divine in her children's skies
Clouds diverting light , shines oft obscured Several planets glacial and complex Ever-shorter on sand as the hourglass pours Awaiting what shall occur next
Tumultuous times, planets collide Battered are the moons, far past birth Bodies consumed, the forbearer violently cries Her core surging towards enormous growth
In a screaming end, she shines with sheer consummate light A glorious passing, flaring through all neighboring night Words cannot explain the immaculate sight, For when a star dies, never does it burn more bright
I submitted this one to a school literary magazine. Hopefully I have some luck with it ^_^ and it gets published!
