Curse

Rayvn Silverwind · May 18, 2008, 03:03 PM // 15:03

Midst of Battle

Thy piercing glance splits my heart
Spewing forth a crimson song
Which delights a woven string
From whence such a wound did come

If life should drain upon the grass
Never wait to send a letter home
Clench your teeth with thunder
And allow the moon to shiver

Upon a breath your fingers dance
Let them soar with phoenix wings
To the ravaged beast within
Forever in your memory

El Tigre

Upon a breath of wind
Glistening swords unsheathe
Streaked by stripes of lightning
Abound for truest aim

Companion spirits soar
Unrivaled bond of life
Beyond eternal sleep
Our eyes meet forever

As soft as velvet streams
With a sweating dagger grin
An enchanted vessel
White merged with black and red

Tiger's Fury

Soaring through the trees
Narrowed eyes breathe night
Seizing the dark breeze
Unleashing flame’s light

Harmony untamed
Arrows and teeth glow
Targets truly aimed
Resonating flow

Upon trembling ground
A hollow gaze falls
Where Silverwind is found
And El Tigre calls

Stance of Eternity

The purr of night echoes
With a drum beating chest
Blazing through the willows
Without a sound nor rest

Wielding the weight of life
Death is all too easy
To give up is a knife
Twisting ever deeply

The scorns of darkness fall
Yet laugh when they should come
Though smashing through each wall
With hideous eyes numb

Let loose with every roar
Removing stern pity
Grinning as arrows soar...
Stance of eternity

Sun Pixy

A dream to hold the necro night
With harvest moon as shade of skin
A cursed smile beckoning delight
And frigid heart beating within

Captivating even death
To come and bow before you
With hollow and shallow breath
At your word, its will to do

Hungry gazes from jaguar eyes
Enticing the darkness to dance
Giving life to ferocious cries
With poison lips dipped in romance

emptyness has darkened my eyes as I hopelessly beg for my life to end

The Curse

Crimson breezes fill the sky
With arrows and tiger teeth
Beckoning all foes to try
To make my breath their sheath

Their swords hunger for a taste
Of my last beating of heart
To devourer all in haste
Causing all life to depart

I grin as their claws tear flesh
A sea weeping forth my blood
Insane jaws grasp at my chest
Existence lost in a flood

A hideous roar echoes
On the silver forest wind
Shivering the ghastly foes
Their darkened eyes strained and pinned

Resurrect infinity
And all is a hollow soul
Life with death affinity
Reason betrayed...lost control

Is death only lost in jest
So lightly taken again
Without words of any regret
And with all purpose arcane?

Corpse retrieved again to wed
With war forever in time
Everlasting living dead
Not peace, nor love, nor sublime

Call of a Hero

Walking through the distant stream
A hero’s heart echoes call
Soaring like a channeled dream
Beckoning inspired awe

Who brings forth a hallowed night
To grasp the essence of life
To drink from eternal light
Enchanting songs beyond strife

Flexing wings to glide above
A crescent moon’s shining bliss
Capturing flight of a dove
Watching sun, earth, and sky kiss

Breathe forth a breath forever
Alive energies glisten
Waken spirit’s endeavor
Just seek within and listen

Rayvn Silverwind · May 25, 2008, 07:08 PM // 19:08

Winged Compass

Swift winds breathe through soaring forests
Echoing across meadow's bliss
Feather woven with rod unrests
Until piercing; a silver kiss

Wings enveloped in blue of sky
Rhythmic with stripes of black and white
A chorus of silence does fly
Fusion of spirit, heart, and sight

Emerging past the darkened dawn
Visions interweaving in grace
Stars shining upon arrows drawn
Arching to the heaven's embrace

Where freedom poetic reigns forth
Untrammeled hearts summon the wild
Streaming the Compass’s true North
Enchanting sweet red of lip's smile

Requiem to Soldiers Fallen

Through a barrage of night
Weapons clash again foe
For honor, for freedom
Giving all in their might
To relinquish and slay
With their lives do we pay

Crimson hands gripping tight
As their breath slips away
Calling for a loved one
They'll ne'er see again
A mother, wife, or son
Father, daughter...no one

Upon the field you lay
Your body torn away
You have given your life
The red badge of courage
For us, even day
You are not forgotten

One Favor

Hoards of breaths meet the chill
Swords and daggers wielded
Lightning flashes in their sweat
Black as night descends

Thirsty in every devour
Their spirit never solaced
Unawakened and uncleansed
Their forever is to destroy

My Eyes narrow to their grit of teeth
A thousand to one...so be it
Crimson will sing, by thy will...
El Tigre roars with the tear of Thunder

My bow gripped tightly
My stance firm against mighty wind
With Cape whipping its flashing Light

And roars beyond death seethe forward

My hand rises...calling them forward...
BRING IT!!!

Wings of Light

Venomous hordes surge
With their blackened armor clanking
Sweating teeth eager for flesh
A dozen paces to my neck

I close my eyes
Lowering on one knee
My breath becomes silence
As spirit begins to soar

Light of white emerges
Blossoming like a wave behind me
Twelve Legions appearing
Shattering the darkness

Petrified to statues
Their swords and daggers never come
Their mouths ceasing blasphemes
And their might, a frozen roar

Pointing towards the lost
I whisper as the wind
“Do you not know?
We are never alone…”

Wonder

Fur of white and black
Fade in the forest
Paws silent as snow
Breath deep with wonder

Leaves nestled in green
Mingle in the breeze
Singing by sunlight
Watching in wonder

Silverwind whispers
Tiger tail swishes
Merging in the stream
Of dreams' true wonder

Rayvn Silverwind · May 30, 2008, 08:28 PM // 20:28

Star Winds

Fingers flex, pulling back arrow with sinew
Eyes narrow upon the starlight of heaven
Fingers release and soaring begins anew
Above forests, above clouds and mountain peaks
Harmonizing of the silver wind and blue
Ever reaching the pure heights of forever
Finding their glistening mark with aim so true

Rayvn Silverwind · May 31, 2008, 11:35 PM // 23:35

Rain of War

Tumbling through torrents of night
Lightning crashes all around
Trembling the earth to scream
Yellow eyes pierce through the rain

Blades strike with gritting of teeth
Deluge pouring from armor
Lost to the eternal mists
Relentless cries never end

Blasphemed forest closes eyes
War rages the horizons
Ne're ceasing storm winds blow
Drinking crimson in its streams

Liquid cheeks clash into time
Claws sink in flesh and sinew
Taking each breath for the last
With mine as well into night

Rayvn Silverwind · Jun 22, 2008, 12:48 AM // 00:48

Spring leaves
Green wonder
Plucked by wind
Floating
Nestled by time
Breathing in sync
With liquid emotion
Dance to silent streams
And awaken
From mourning
So eyes may see
What ears cannot hear
What does the breeze whisper?

Rayvn Silverwind · Jun 24, 2008, 05:06 AM // 05:06

Strands

With nimble fingers
He ties the rain
Weaving it to his whim
Into a tender tapestry
Formless
Yet in every form
Spoken within silence

With nimble fingers
He ties the rain
Gliding emotion
Into each thread
Limitless
Yet in every limit
Heard without resonance

He ties the rain.

Greetings SparrowHawk,

I feel very honored to have influenced the movement of emotion within you with my poem. It is a great compliment and perhaps what most who share an expression seek to do. Thank you.
