The Sea at Night

One of my latest Narnia poems

A Night at Sea

I look up at the stars as they glow
High in the Narnian sky
I smile as I gaze at them
And from my lips escape a sigh

How glad I am that Aslan allowed
For me to Narnia return
I haved missed it ever so
My heart for it did yearn

We do not know where we are going
Yet we sail still
We must help King Caspian
His oath to Aslan fulfill

The sea at night it is a dream
A poem that words could never tell
The waters murmer with the wind
As if enchanted by a spell

The moon caresses the dark ripples
With a pale, frail light
It casts a shadow on the dark sea
A shadow that is pure white

The ship is rocked to and fro
Gently, lovingly rocked to sleep
By the music caused by the wind
And the lullaby sung by the sea

The stars in the sky speak to me
They tell me "child, run off to bed"
"The night has come for you to rest"
"You must go and lay your head"

The sea whispers "go child"
"And we will rock your cradle sweet"
"You will not even notice"
"How so swiftly you fall asleep"

The wind replies "to your bed"
"And I will sing a lullaby"
"About the wonders of the night"
"About the stars, the sea, the sky"

I must obey, I know I must
Yet it is so hard to leave
For the moon is telling me
"Child, must you really go to sleep"

But I know I must be off
For tomorrow holds advertures untold
So I bid goodnight to the moon
And my cabin I do go

I lay down and close my eyes
As I'm rocked by the waves
I can hear the wind sing to me
I have no reason to be afraid

Just before I drift to the land of dreams
I see Aslan stand by my side
I feel his warm breath as me bid good sleep
And I thank Him for the night

Happy New Year

I haven't posted here in a long while, it's been really hectic recently, but seeing as 2011 is over and 2012 has begun here is a poem to start the new year

As the old year passes away
And we stand at the doorstep of the new
I will say this small prayer
And wish a wish for you

May the sun brighten you path
May laughter fill your ears
May you find a comforting hand
That will dry any tears

May you alway have faith
Even if things may seem tough
And know that through all the tests
You will surely triumph

May you feel God's presence
Even when all seems lost
May you always find the strength
To fight and carry on

May God bless your new year
As it dawns clear and true
And may many blessing shower down
And your wishes be granted to you

The Innocence of my Childhood

it's funny how when we are young we so want to grow up as quickly as possible, yet as soon as we are grown we suddenly want to grow back down again

The Innocence of My Childhood
As I look at how I’ve grown
I marvel at how time has flown
But if I could I think I would
Go back to the innocence of my childhood

How I wish I could but relive
Those young years that have now passed
How I wish I could but lift
The magic spell that Time has cast

I would chase after butterflies again
And old friends would knock at my door
And I would greet them as I once did
And we would play together once more

In spring we’d watch the growing flowers
We’d feel the soft summer wind blow
We would chase the leaves in autumn
In winter we would play with snow

We would once more share secrets
Whisper to each other as we used to
We would talk about when we’d grow
And of the things we want to do

But time has gone, and I have grown
And like the wind that blows so wild
My younger years passed, and before I knew
No longer was I a child

Now in school I enter my senior year
And adult life is drawing near
But if I only could, I think I would
Go back to the innocence of my childhood

The Rescue

A very very very long poem I wrote :)

The Rescue
In a castle filled with gloom
In tallest tower, in highest room
Surrounded by wall a four
Grey in color, nothing more
A door doth stand, made of wood
Under key and locked for good
But if way inside you find
Simple room will be confined
Upon the floor a braided rug
And a table with a jug
By the table chair doth stad
Upon chair lies a woven band
In the corner stand cot for bed
With a window overhead
Upon the window drapes to flow
That with the wind oft' flow
Upon the bed Fair Maiden lies
With nutbrown hair and hazel eyes
By day she will lie and sleep
By night she doth sit and weave
Looking out of window and gazing at the moon
For moment doth forget her woe and gloom
For moom in lovles silver white
Shineth on her silver light
And in the distance star doth see
Small as speck of dust can be
But in it shines the hope and faith
To fill her for another day
And every other single night
A new star will catch her sight
For star, though nothing more than dust
With its light represents her trust
That soon the night of bondage will be done
And day of freedom will rise with sun


In the distance uner heat and sun
Hooves of horse, they gallop and run
Kicking up the dust and sand
Over hot and beaten land
Yonder mountain filled with snow
There fierce winds will often blow
Ice on path not seen at all
Until you slip and to death fall
After moutain swamp marsh
Conditions cruel and ver harsh
Pathway you must try and seek
If death you do not want to meet
Men in pride who often step
Do not take this path of death
This long and death-defying road
If made for men of faith and hope
Upon horse which doth runs
Rides his father's only son
Forsaken comforts of his home
To this road of fear and woe
After Maiden Fair he seeks
Who was locked by Evil Beast
In a tower filled with gloom
There to sit and wait her doom
Beast of tower does demand 
In marriage her young heart and hand
And if in fortnight vow she will not take
She will not see the sun or wake
So on rides Knight through land of woe
Where the bravest dare not go
He fears neither snow nor dust
In love's power he does trust
Go fast he must to make it in time
So on through sand and snow her rides


As sun sets and creeps the night
Fearful castle comes to sight
Dark in shadowns it doth stand
Putting fear in bravest man
Towers to the sky they loom
Filled with fear and woe and doom
Wall of stone goes all around
So no way inside is found
Walls they are thick and high
So over them you may not climb
Gate of black the entrance seals
So that stranger unwelcome feels
But if by all this you are scared not
You will find the gate unlocked
Pathway leads from the gate
To what is yoru certain fate
Huge gigantic oaken door
Guards the castle's inner ward
For therein Evil Beast confines
And therein Maiden Fair he hides
Evil Beast stands big and large
With hateful eyes and long sharp claws
He abides in castle dark and cold
Of it strange stories are often told
And to this castle Knight must come
Before this dark night is done
For if in times he makes it not
A great evil will be wrought
This dark night it will decide
With one battle, one fight
To whom Maiden Fair will go
To Knight of Valor or Beast of Woe


To the fearsome castle gate of black
Rides the Knight in armor clad
In he enters castle of woe and doom
His purpose to enter highest room
But before he can get to his only love
He must see what his valor is made of
He must Evil Beast challenge and fight
And it must be done this night
For with this night has new moon come
And with it Maiden's fortnight is done
Haste  must he make to inner ward
Before Beast knocks at Maiden's door
For if Maiden consent give not to him
The light in her high room will dim
So forward charges the Brave Knight
For Maiden's honor he will fight
And so the challenge has been made
Evil Beast has gone into rage
Brace yourself the battle is nigh
This is the battle that will decide
Grasping sword and holding shield
Knight charges to the battle field
He fears neither pain nor death
He will fight till his last breath
Beast does fear but will not show
Breath of fire he fierecly throwss
On and on goes the fight
Not even moon will come to sight
Suddenly Knight to the ground doth fall
It seems the Beast has won after all
Has the rescue failed this day
Or could their be another way?
Look to the east, sun doth rise
Gone and done is the night
And Knight stand, taking a deep breath
This night he has won and coonquered death


Now Beast has fallen back in fear
He doth know his end is near
Raises Knight his sword on high
For he has the power of ligh
Down the sword crashes to the ground
Making loud and sudden sound
Evil Beast, you need no more fear him
For the ground has swallowed him in
No more will Maiden need fear for her life
Victory is with the Prince of Light
Now enters Knight tower of doom
And climbs to the highest room
Before Maiden he doth stand
And with a kiss he takes her hand
"Maiden Fair, for you I gave my life"
"Now I pray, will you be my wife?"
Maiden smile and answers with a bow
"To you alone will I take my vow"
"For it was you who rescued me"
"And to you true I will always be"
Takin her hand he leads her to the prison door
This castle need be her prison no more
And as they leave the horrid gate of black
With one glance she does look back
To her suprise where castle used to be
Lies a vast field of green
Knight smiles, "now that victory is won"
"Evil Beast and his castle are gone"
"You need never aain fear so"
"That to him you will one mroe go"
Then upon his horse he sets his bride
And together they will ride
Till they reach the Kingdom of his Father
Where he will bless them his Son and daughter
The night of bondage is gone and done
And freedom has come with the rising sun

Song of the Fairy

My sister had a picture of a fairy and she asked me to write a poem to match the picture here's what came out

Song of the Fairy
Hush and listen can you hear?
Come this way and lend your ear
Melody plays in the air
A song so sweet and sadly fair

A song of fairy with a lute
Accompanied by unseen flute
Sending to the air her sweet notes
That with the wind sadly float

A song of teardrop falling from her eye
Accompanied by silent sigh
She does weep of world so cruel
Were evil men do sit and rule

A world that has grown cold
A world that lusts for gold
A world deaf to babies cry
A world refusing to why

Hush and listen you have heard
Song sweeter than that of birds
Keep the song in your heart
And in the world change your part

But think not that the song is done
For the song is still being sung
Better go and call your friend
And tell him all that I have said 

I do so Want to Live

I am very, very pro life, this was a poem that  I wrote to go along with an essay I had to write for my school, the poem came out a lot better than the essay, here it is

I Do So Want to Live
You never saw me, you know me not
And so I ask how can it be
Since you never saw, nor never sought
Why is it that you do not want me?

What did I do, what have I done
That made you to so cry and mourn
Tell me, why don’t you want me to come?
Why do you stop me from being born?

Why do you want my life to end
When it has only just begun?
Why back to Heaven do you wish to send
When from Heaven I have just come?

Perhaps you think you do not need me
Perhaps I have interfered with your life
Perhaps there is no father to be
He is not your husband or you his wife

Perhaps you feel you cannot afford
Perhaps you say your health won’t allow
But please I beg of your own accord
Do not end my life that has begun just now

Mother dear, if you don’t want me on this earth
If you wish to live a life all free
Then I beg, keep me till my birth
I’m sure you’ll find someone who wants me

Perhaps you would be truly glad
If circumstances would permit
But they do not, and you feel bad
So why not end the troubles real quick

But I beg of you, my dearest mother
Just wait till I have a little grown
Then I am sure you’ll find another
Who will take me for his own

Perhaps you are so confused
Right and wrong you do mix
Not sure you are what to do
And you wonder should you risk?

Wait till my birth and you may discover
That you truly, really want to keep me
You may find, you may uncover
That it was of me you always dreamed

Whatever the reason I do pray
And I do hope so too
That you will look to God this day
About the life he gave to you

Please mother dear, do not abort
The life that God to you did give
I beg my life do not cut short
I do so want to live

My Secret Garden

This is not made up, I really do have a secret garden and I wrote this poem about it :)  

 

My Secret Garden
There is a place, a secret place
A mystic place, a magic place
Where I go to be alone
I found it on a walk one day
And claimed it as my own

A secret place, though many know of it
A mystic place, thought nothing new
A magic place, though oh so ordinary
And yet all three descriptions are true

The gateway to my secret place
Are two trees with branches intertwined
And as you walk and pass through them
A different world you will find

Yes a different world, a different land
Is my secret place, my garden fair
Believe it or not it is true
I should know, for I was there

The trees are small and evenly placed
All are birches save one pine
The grass is soft and oh so green
In this secret garden of mine

Always peace, always calm
It a place of quiet escape
Inside you find only hope and love
There is no room for fear and hate

Inhabitants? yes indeed!
But at first they will not show
Yet if kind and gentle you always are
They will accept you as their own

How do they look, That is hard to say
But if you will listen, I will explain

In the ground among the roots
Kind little people live safe and sound
And in the trees, among the leaves
Gentle fairies do abound

The ground people tend the grass
The fairies keep the trees so fair
What of the magic? oh you breath it
Magic is what makes the air

Of course my garden has a king
A great big golden butterfly
And with him rules his silver queen
And their palace is the pine

At first the people I did not see
Who in my secret garden abide
I was busy with all my problems
And of me they were oh so shy

But now what great friends we are
And I do love them so
And when the time to leave doth come
They ask me not to go

My secret garden, my secret world
Others too perhpas there go
Yet I think I alone do know
Of the magic that it holds

And if you think all I said to be untrue
My secret to you I will impart
If chance leads you to my secret garden
Close your eyes and look with your heart
