Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Writer

He was a young school boy,
With a beautiful story.
He thought all night and wrote all day.
He was a handsome young man, his name was Jay.
He spun lovely poems that could make people smile or cry.
Whenever he was writing he felt a great high.
He didn’t care about his lessons,
He only cared for his writing sessions.
Eventually Jay graduated,
And when he did he was elated.
Now he was free to write as much as he pleased,
And he made money with great ease.
He married the daughter of a high ranking official.
With as beautiful as a song bird she sang
Songs that Jay wrote for her, and then with a bang
Jay’s life was cut short by a jealous rival.
And with the arrival
Of Jay’s death, came indescribable sorrow.

The Coward

This man, Oscar was his name,
He was more cowardly than a dame.
Oscar was scared of everything.
People agreed that there had to be something
That he did not fear.
Then one day that “thing” did appear.
Her name was Abigail.
Every last detail
Was perfectly suited for our Oscar dear.
She made his fears instantly disappear.
Alas! Alas! She never saw him standing there.
Abigail, so fair.
So pure of heart and soul.
Losing Abigail took its toll.
Poor young Oscar began to lose his hair.
He realized that true love is rare.
Oscar began to be depressed
Thinking that nothing could put his soul to rest.
One day at dawn he took his life,
For he had heard that Abigail was now a wife.

The Dreamer

Every night as she lay in bed, waiting to fall asleep
Ashley dreamed of things that never could be, instead of counting sheep.
She dreamt of fairies, of mermaids, and all other creatures
With magical features.
“Ashley, sweet child, wake up from those dreams.”
Her mother’s voice would seep through the seams
Of her magical dreams.
But Ashley didn’t want to leave, didn’t want to stop,
She wished that she could hop
Right into her fantasies.
-----------------------------------------
The Drunkard

Mitchell was his name,
And sinning was his game.
He drank and drank all day long.
He would sing a discordant song.
He cussed and cursed at everything in sight.
He patronized prostitutes day and night.
His blond hair was shabby and uncombed.
One set of clothes was all he owned.
One eye was green and one was blue.
His stench was appalling but he hadn’t a clue.
------------------------------------------------------------
The Fairy

Her name was Amethyst, I’m fairly sure.
For all ailments she had the cure.
A maiden by day and a fairy by night,
When she transformed it was quite a sight.
Never did she smoke or drink any booze.
She had many suitors from which she could choose.
One particular man caught her eye.
And one night she began to spy
While he peacefully slept.
Then one night as she crept
He suddenly awoke.
Earnestly she spoke
Of her love and her true identity.
His smile was that of uncontrollable glee
As he asked for her hand and she agreed.
Neither could wait to be married, not the groom nor the bride.
At the wedding the bride’s fairy friends and family had to hide,
For only the groom knew her secret.
And he had sworn to keep it private.
-----------------------------------------------
The Fairy’s Lover

Peter was the fairy’s lover.
His goal was, with affection, his love to cover.
Not simply a lover, not simply a groom,
This relationship was abloom.
Sometimes he slept with her during the day,
And at night he let her go and play.
One day at dawn when he awoke
Nowhere was she to be found, and so he spoke
To the other pilgrims, he asked them for help.
When they refused he let out a yelp.
So, alone, he went to search for his beloved
And found that she was being coveted
By another man as she slept in a field.
The two men began to shout.
Soon the shouting turned into a bout.
Amethyst was awake, scared, and screaming.
Blinded by hate neither man heard or saw even a fleeting
Glance of this fair maiden as she ran from the bloody battle.
And she hopped into the saddle
And was never seen again.

The Inventor

His name is Leon,
And there is nothing he could not improve on.
Leon was a man of charm,
And always had a woman on his arm.
But when in his workshop no disturbances were tolerated.
For fear that his inventions might become tainted.
Eventually, he took a wife.
Then one day they had a fight,
And in spite
Of his warning,
She broke into his workshop hoping to find some of his earnings.
But she triggered one of his devices
And had her skull crushed by the gears, but her husband was indecisive.
He told the police she got what she deserved
For not listening to his warning.
None the less he was still morning
Over the loss of his dear wife.
But his rage made his morning less,
But still he had to confess
That no other woman could replace
His dear Isabel.
----------------------------
The Orphan

This poor orphan is only six years old.
She lives on the streets and eats things that stink and are covered with mold.
Did I mention her name, I don't believe I did,
Patty is the name of this poor orphaned kid.
She has one outfit, an old tattered dress,
And I must say, her appearance is a complete mess.
One day she was asked if she would like to stay
With a friendly family who lived far far away.
The lady who asked her was dressed very nice.
And Patty did long for something besides old, spoiled rice.
But then Patty thought it might be a trick,
To get her hopes high and let them down quick.
As if reading her mind the lady said,
"This is no trick my dear, we'll give you a warm bed.
We want to help you, you poor starving thing."
So Patty decided to go along
And as they walked the lady began to sing a sweet song.
"You sing very pretty" Patty did say.
"Why thank-you my dear, and by the way
My name is Kailey. I am the lady of the house.
You will be my daughter from here on out."

The Outcast

The outcast I will speak of here
No one would even go near.
Except for one single, special person
Whom Julie loved till her life was done.
It seems I neglected to tell you
That Julie is the name of the girl in this tale I am telling you.
And the name of that person, the only one who dared come near
Was a girl named Lanier.
She saw nothing wrong with Julie, nothing at all.
When Julie was mocked, bullied and pushed around
Lanier would step in, and pick Julie up off the ground.
But one day they made it so that she could not get to Julie.
And took Lanier away and locked her up somewhere no one could see.
They tortured poor Julie till she fell back dead
None of them cared in the slightest about this strange girl,
However when Lanier was found dead on the floor
Some said “HA!! We should have done this before!”
Others said “What have we done?!?”

The Seamstress

She was not of the pretty sort
But she did have men who were willing her to court.
They had no interest in her, only her work.
And every time with a kiss and a smirk
Those awful men gave her their orders.
But one day she said "Enough is enough!"
And she showed those men that she was really quite tough.
She put her foot down and said
"Never again will you do this to me!
I get my revenge! Just wait and see!"
She didn't have to think long before she came up with a plan
To get back at each and every man.
The next day she put her plan into action.
Acting as if she had great passion
For each man in turn.
She sung them a song about death and dying.
Before she finished she pulled out a knife.
And every man who had done her wrong, she ended their life.
