 The Ram's Heart
 * Character: Aries

I was born in the hands of an ever busy godly friend.

Free to roam, made a little laugh out of everywhere I've been.

Then you come crashing in, like the princess with its bling,

And I'm trying my best to understand all of the love you bring.

Yeah, my whole heart's got a grip on the situation,

Like a bubblegum sticking on a bench in the train station.

Yeah, my whole heart's got a grip on your own,

And I have the right mind to say how far we've flown.

I will hate if I only gave half of my heart to your's,

Moreso if I were to offer it to you by force.

<p style="text-align:center;">But, no, I know my faith is as strong as I know it,

<p style="text-align:center;">That if it was that too big I don't know if it'll ever fit.

<p style="text-align:center;">Yeah, my whole heart's got a real good imagination,

<p style="text-align:center;">But I can only think short for so long,

<p style="text-align:center;">For my mind was mesmerized by the distant gallop coming.

<p style="text-align:center;">I knew at once that a horse was coming my way,

<p style="text-align:center;">And it was a horse with a heart that I swore would go beyond the line.

<p style="text-align:center;">Sadie, I know that you was, is, and always will be mine.

Broken
 Shadow Fairytale .



By: Lee Seunghyun

Two paths have crossed as the sun shone brightly

Companion out of companions selected,

No prince, knight, but figure shaded darkly;

Hailed he who has healed her lone perspective.

'Round the castle, they walked for what seems like miles,

''Side by side as they exchanged their love, smiles. ''

Trials, sacrifice, friendship, and full trust,

Their feelings went on from new dawn to dusk.

Darkness's castle walls 'round them closed down,

She grasped Cinderella's smile, it's shallow.

The horrible truth and pain has just dawned;

''Yes, he dispersed back to the gloom shadows. ''

Duets haven’t sung, a story untold,

Their memories now flooding back look hoary.

The unexpressed words worth more than much gold,

Daylight to a 60 sec summary.

Beneath night sky, her heart pierced by moonlight,

Out of nowhere, wiped are her flowing tears,

Her shadow closed before 'twas out of sight:

"Don't you worry, fear, I'll always be here."

Spreading true love to all its "witnesses,"

Delusional aren't they who trust love's art.

Story of a "shadow" and a princess:

"Everything will be kept safe in one's heart."

Notes: Shadows are our reflection that can be seen once shone by light, source of illumination; here, taken literally. We all have shadows which represent our distant relatives, our inner selves, intangible objects, and especially to deceased loved ones. Also, the poem’s time line is a whole 24-houred day. "Day" means beginning or our time of glory; we feel the “day” because they're here for us and become our comfort zone; the "night" or the end where they aren't really “gone” as we think. We are infused with the thought they are gone because we plunge ourselves in darkness, hiding from the light and grief makes us only see “60 seconds” of the “light” or bliss. Once in a while “the moon will shine at the person's heart” to signify there is light even in the darkest of times. We may not have feasible proof they’re near and protecting us, but we can be sure they live inside us forever in our precious memories and heart where nothing can rip them apart of it, that is one of the many forms of love. The reader can percept this as erotic love, yet the sight of friendship is much preferred. The author believes true friendship is superior to all forms of love, for it is brotherly and sacrificial. This poem is entitled shadow fairytale due to the fact the "shadows" live on in our hearts makes it a fairytale.

Nephy
Character Name: Cast Logan

Notes: Cast loves making poetic compositions although dislikes the genre a love and romance. Once, in her school, their teacher tasked them to make a journal about a letter to their future husband/wife. Failure to submit by the next day, 65 on their journal grade. Her throat clumped and tightened. She almost vomited at that time. So, what choice does she have than to just do it while she can in a form of sonnets? That night, she spent it all brainstorming on what to compose. She haven't found anything in the present but in the past. Her past about how love had afflicted the father whom she loved so much when her own mother was the real reason of his death. The hatred she still has in her hadn't still changed and to express it in the form of composition, is the best way to voice out what she has to say about love. Although the poem is plain, it has a coded message for readers to decrypt.And so, she began to write. ..

Poem:

 Love's Sonnets 

First Sonnet: Still In Wonder

I made an oath and a promise to me

That I swear to my heart I would not love and be loved by thee,

How can I feel and define what the heart speaks in beats?

I see love as to be a battle but coming home with defeated fleets.

No one ever wins nor does no one ever lose

Returning from an emotion with bloody scars and bruise,

A gruesome heartbreak sleeping with sleepless nights

An unyielding heartache with awfully tearful beady eyes,

As I apprehend I came to realize how selfish I’ve been

Christ have suffered because of love, and because of sin,

I’ve thought and considered only the torment

But never have I gave a glimpse and see love’s enduring commitment,

A letter to my future husband is what I intend to write

But choosing the right words is not easy to find.

Second Sonnet: To My Lover

Dearly, my lover, I’ve never envisioned I would meet thee

For I made a pledge, a vow that I swore to me,

I caged my heart so never would I feel love’s horrid fantasy

But then there you are, you held me up and set me free,

Love as I perceived was all feign and truthful lies

As past was veiled, I used to be adamant to open my heart’s eyes,

I fled from love for I thought it was all misery and distress

''A coward have I been! Love is pain, cruel but kind and merciless,''

Enduring all that is like death, I’ll do whatever for true love’s sake

Only then have I understood, love is what I am to offer and never forsake,

A broken promise is what I have left behind

Regret never whispered for I found what I never ought to find,

I’ve felt again what feeling have I lost

Numb from the shivers, your warmth melted away my winter’s frost.

Third Sonnet: For My Groom and Husband to Be

Church bells ring, a wedding am I to attend

As I walk down the aisle I still have one last message to send,

To my groom and dearly husband to be

I shall give my priceless gift and unbreakable promise to thee,

Towards the altar we will march, now, hear me as I say,

My vow I shall state and my gift shall I lay,

With you and only you will I forever be

I will live within even hearing death singing tenderly,

In sickness or in health,

In poverty and in wealth,

Obstruction may come but never will I bend faint-heartedly

Only to you and you alone I am giving my kept virginity,

As I say sincerely my I do and as you say yours,

You are mine forever and I am yours.

<p style="text-align:center;">''Many Ages ago, it was thought that Swans were silent for their entire life. However, just before they died, they would emit a beautiful farewell song.''

<p style="text-align:center;">''This Poem is Jasmine's Swan song to her ex boyfriend, Logan, whom she "loved"; but it didn't work out. ''

<p style="text-align:center;">Again, this is sad, so stop reading if you don't like sad poems.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;"> Swan Song.

<p style="text-align:center;">We searched for love

<p style="text-align:center;">in gold chests with shining gems

<p style="text-align:center;">in castles on clouds, high above-

<p style="text-align:center;">But found instead, gold and bronze.

<p style="text-align:center;">Rich, we searched on,

<p style="text-align:center;">In the deepest pits of the

<p style="text-align:center;">darkest cave; found a lamp,

<p style="text-align:center;">You rubbed it, but we were only granted smoke.

<p style="text-align:center;">We searched 20,000 leagues under the sea,

<p style="text-align:center;">You hoarded corals and pearls,

<p style="text-align:center;">Presented them to me on a silver platter,

<p style="text-align:center;">But the ever-shining jewels did not love me back.

<p style="text-align:center;">​Despite it all, you said you loved me, that

<p style="text-align:center;">You'd never let me go

<p style="text-align:center;">Not even death could make us part.

<p style="text-align:center;">Always.

<p style="text-align:center;">Then, why did it feel wrong in your arms,

<p style="text-align:center;">Cold in your once inviting embrace?

<p style="text-align:center;">Why was it hollow when we kissed,

<p style="text-align:center;">Stiff on your once soft lips?

<p style="text-align:center;">I searched in the dark.

<p style="text-align:center;">''I lay with the wolves. Alone,''

<p style="text-align:center;">falling to pieces; trying to mend

<p style="text-align:center;">the shards of our broken love.
