More from ~Ilterendi

Earthly Spread beneath the branches of an oak
Flesh is weak and forest is mighty
In mystic tongues we spoke
Of fire, ice, and fantasy

Cruel Mother Nature sings a siren song
Meant for us and all the living
Our roots are not long
And time is unforgiving

So we burn a hole in the forest floor
In our giving and taking way
Until twilight closes the door
On another earthly day
Teaching New Light I have, in my hands
A glowing star
Or maybe just a soul
Lonely and yearning
For the chance to jump
To laugh and be free
But this sheltered radiance
Must be carefully guided
Into a bright beam
Focused, eternally traveling
Forward, forward my dear
Just a little further
I push, not too far
Progress is not measured in feet
But in inches imperceptible
Moving forward, always forward
She falls
I comfort with hands holding
Guiding
Until momentum builds
Potential springs into motion
I let go
Brother's Ballad Brother's Ballad

My brother called to me in pain
On evil ground his body lain
I kenned the truth while at his side
And from the truth I could not hide

There was no hope of battle won
The tribes of men were come undone
We saw our fate in blackened sky
And through the battle he didst cry:

"Raise your banner o'er me
And give me light so eyes may see
The colors on this dark-end field
Before the fire from mine is steal'd"

So they swept him up as retreat they called
And as they ran the tower fall'd
Into forests unknown to them
Sought the refuge deep within

Scourge of men didst follow soon
As smoky night fell without moon
But I an

Boundaries

by ~Ilterendi

Hands and fingers feeling down
Cross the boundaries I laid
Sparks shatter my soundless world
Fulfill the wish I should have made

I want to feel like this forever
Lost in your loud world, all color
Dreaming through a lonely vessel
Living just to touch each other

Watch the dark hide your desires
Wrap yourself in reds and yellows
Lay yourself across my threshold
Forget the world and all its troubles

But time was slow and we were fast
Our fears rained down to drown our flames
We passed the day, refused the night
I thought of you and laughed and cried

All that's left - this thread of words
It's strong enough to pull you in
Or tie me up, make you a prison
I watch your mouth, it cuts my hands

For those who love, who hate, whose fantasies can and will never be reality

Another day older.
Another moment stronger.
Another life touched.

Looking Over My Shoulder by ~Ilterendi
Lost In The Universe I still like to go outside and look at the stars, even if the cold is cutting like a knife, like tonight.  I look at the stars stuck fast in the crystal air and find the bright shapes that we used to find. When we sat on the light-speckled glass roof and just traced the paths of triangles and hexagons and stars within stars.

Occasionally I see the lights and shapes of ships as I gaze up into the pinpoints of light.  Not the planes that are bound for the many cities of the world, I mean the big interstellar vessels.  If I look up I can see them cast a shadow over a small part of the sky.

Sometimes I wonder if you could be traveling on one ofLost In The Universe by ~Ilterendi
The Space To Run The Space to Run

1.

It was one o'clock in the morning.  The glowing numbers stared at him resolutely, forcing him to move.  The air was chill as he stood by the large window.  Outside a cobalt sky showed the stars like a city of light, twinkling in their slow treks around the horizon.

He crossed the large bedroom to the reflective glass door, which slid open soundlessly. His feet were cold on the smooth, stone floor.  The environmental control glowed a dim green on the wall. 56 degrees Fahrenheit.  A good number, but Anchal would complain in her not-unfriendly way the next morning.  She never liked it to get below 60, and even that was colThe Space To Run by ~Ilterendi
Trying Too Hard To Be Immortal I whispered to the world
And said my secrets safe with you
Closed my eyes and turned
A golden key
Laid down to rest

But somehow
The earth had found
A way to be untrue
My secrets never mattered
To a mother cold as you

And no matter how I wished
Beneath stars or sinking moon
Not an answer
Just a promise
Of an ending coming soon

So I wandered through a thousand lives
And lived them one by one
Closed my eyes
They slipped away
I forgot where I'd begunTrying Too Hard To Be Immortal by ~Ilterendi
The Road Is Moving I turn around
But nothing's there
We're running so fast
We forget where

I've gone so far in this lifeline
I need a new life
But where to start from?
We've been here so long

After awhile
We forget the beauty
Of the moment, the unknown
It's burning right through me

I gave you time
Time didn't care
Now who's waiting
Who's around the corner?

We're so far past a dead end
Feels like a start to forever
Where am I going?
The road is moving

After awhile
We forget the beauty
Of the moment, the unknown
It's burning right through meThe Road Is Moving by ~Ilterendi
