Glaedr the poet

Family comes together
For always and forever
In sickness and in health
In poverty or in wealth
...

Family to me has many meanings
For all are full of diverse feelings
Love and anger, both within a single one
Children who stay and children who run
...

I throw my gun in the back of my truck
With it I hope to kill a 12-point buck
...

The love of a mother is beyond compare
One who dearly loves and is always there
From scraped knees
To falls from trees
...

I am tired
tired of the walls closed around me
tired of blindness when I wish to see
I am scared
...

The mighty wings of the chosen
The mighty dragons long forgotten
Above all creatures do they tower
There lies within them limitless power
...

I am trapped within a population sea
So much my heart desires to be set free
Desire for large buildings, I have none
I want open fields and to see the rising sun
...

Love I cannot have, for it is love that I fear
Never again shall I draw someone ever so near
No longer love will my heart ever hold
For my heart has hardened and turned ice cold
...

War has caused me much pain
By peace only will I abide
Thoughts of battle make me insane
My sword lays forgotten by my side
...

I do not express my anger
I prefer to be at peace
I go away from present danger
and my problems begin to cease
...

My sister is someone who I cannot comprehend
Never in my wildest dreams could I ever call her “Friend”
I can easily say we do not get along
She argues, she fights, she hates to be wrong
...

My body received rest but my mind was left to wonder
From reality and reason does it continuously falter
The dreams I have dreamt are now long forgotten
They have withered, disappeared, and turned rotten
...

Many have died, many have perished
But this man has yet to fall
Gone for months, time that is cherished
Yet he still answers the call
...

Hail dragon! Predator of the air
Do not rejoice, do nothing but despair
For you are gone oh dragon, passed into legend
For the merciless warriors of old you could not contend
...

Words cannot describe how I feel
My knees weaken, my heart beats fast
This feeling within me is so real
How much I hope it will last
...

Our fires burn with a fearless rage!
They burn at the humans in this cursed age
From friends to hunted the dragons soon became
We are now called 'beast' and by no other name
...

I've read enough of heartbreaks and tears
Even more so of depressions and fears
I've heard enough of your deaths and rapings
Even more so than your scars and abusings
...

Upon the saddle I am mounted
My foot in the stirrup is set
Precious time is happily counted
a kinder horse have I never met
...

People speak of homeland as the countries that bore their ancestors
They speak of pride, tradition, and origins of predecessors
I have no interest in where I came from, or a family history
The past should stay the past: an unsolved mystery
...

I once asked you to marry me for my love had no end
I thought we'd always be together, then you called me 'friend'
I was called your fiancee, but your brother I became
Yet my endless love for you, has always been the same
...
