Raise Your Hands Up To The Sky

Dancing, stomping, spinning feet
Drummers pacing with a beat
Children laugh and they all cry
Raise your hands up to the sky!

Celebration in the air
People shouting without care
Townsmen break out Christmas rye
Raise your hands up to the sky!

Drink is flowing, food is good
Crowds extend into the wood
Mugs are filled with eau de vie
Raise your hands up to the sky!

Bodies layed into the ground
Silence for a moment round
Speak a farewell, friends, good-bye
Raise your hands up to the sky!

Battle's over, gone and done
Put away that ugly gun
Peace forever, we can fly
Raise your hands up to the sky!

Woven Spell

She whispers a time-strung lullaby
Seduces with nets of golden passion
Lures with hearths of pulsing life
Tempts with fumes of aging flame
To play her high strung instruments of love

She captivates two lovers
Gives months of endless lust
Offers enthralled passion
Only to rip away from each
What could have been

She enchants two lovers
Brings egg and seed to life
Grows with time a kindred fruit
Only to cause an end
Of innocence so pure

She bewitches two lovers
Entangles their hazed minds
Infatuates each with their dearest
Only to draw apart
One's being from the other

She gives her children a song
Seduces with tunes of alluring poison
Lures with union of sweet creation
Tempts with satisfaction of ever-after
To do (away) with, as she sees fit

Okay, second and third attempts for poetry writing. My first one stank and was too short. So now there are these ones. Please, PLEASE tell me I'm improving in SOME way! ... wink Or just point out the flaws and how to improve, that'd be much appreciated.
