Someone asked if I did anything other than just humorous stuff. Since my brain is gone I don’t feel like blogging that much, I’ll dig out some old really bad poems from years gone by. They’re absolutely horrible and read on at your own risk. Most were written in character for a role playing game I was involved with years ago, so don’t take too much from them. They are from a character’s point of view and not my own.
All Poems (c) various years to me, James Knine under my real name. Previously published under various pen and character names over the years. Enjoy.

Rage
I saw hatred
I tasted it on my own breath
there was nothing more to my world
than seeing you dead
I hate you with all that I am
my life forfeit for the price of your blood
You took what I had
You took what made me whole
You took what I needed to survive
You took my life, my sanity and my dreams
for that you must die
With my dagger and my rage
I shall see you in the Grave.
Slavery
Caught in her eyes
I see myself standing
a dim witted loon
looking back at me.
If she needs I take care of her wishes
If she points I go
If she wants I give myself
If she smiles I die.
Goodbyes
I was here when you opened
three or four people in the world
fighting rogues and earning chairs and whales
in battles out of time
I was here for the training grounds
the fun that was the town square
filled with names that are only memories
having good times for all
I was here for the first dragons
spreading their wings
and taking to the air
and flying with their bonds
I was here for the first marriages
for the affairs for the gossip
printed daily in the DFC
for all to read and share
I was here for the battles
for the joy for the laughter
for the hard work
for the times that are in memory
I left you when things went sour
when it was forgotten
that the world was fun
and all was just a game
In the time away I’ve found
other diversions in my life
In the time away I’ve known
what it is to keep a promise
I return to say good-bye
as the city lights go out one by one
I return with great sadness
to watch you close the gate.
Good Luck and Go Forward.

Lingering Melody
I saw a ghost in a midnight dream
a girl with straw colored hair and ice in her eyes
she warmed my spirit with her beauty.
I saw a ghost in my heart
of a special girl that I do so desire
remembering her causes it such pain.
I saw a ghost in the mirror
reflections on what could, should, may have been
times so precious yet so far gone.
“I love you,” I said with a silent tear.
She looked into my eyes and nodded.
With that she was gone.
Distance
I looked into her ice blue eyes
and knew that she was the one
in longing in loving and in my heart
there was room for no one else
She’s so close but I can not hold her
I can only imagine and dream
of a time that we are together again
but I don’t know if that will ever be
In distance I start to have my doubts
With distance I must have faith in my dreams
From distance I keep those long lasting hopes
as distance is never as far as it seems
She truly is my heart
that I do believe
and if her spirit is with mine
then Distance means nothing to me
Questions or Deceptions
Watching you sleep
I see your dreams
colorful and mystical
I see your heart.
You don’t think I got that far
you don’t know that I see
that you’re not sure that
what’s in your heart is me.
I can live without love
I can live being here
spending the time with you
but can you?
Honestly, can you keep living
with me without love?
Without my heart matching
yours and me being in there?
I worry all that time
that this will be over
but I keep in my fears
because I don’t want to lose you.
My heart says we’re meant to be
but you dodge the issue
going silent again. It’s not the
way lovers are meant to act.
When I sleep, when I dream
I wonder what you see.
My heart so colorful and so mystical
or don’t you know?
