Reflection by Theus1989, literature

Literature

Reflection

Reflection By Matthew Theus Allow me now as I am here sitting To remain at rest, and in perfect rest, Then so analyze and 'pon interpreting Be able to discover my copy's rest. That on this becoming of the Lord's day I shall stare full in the face of the mirror And that I will gaze into the face Of whatever my reflection appears. It has become the time to cast out doubt, In so doing I find the man I've become- A lost, shattered image, unknowing about The sins which his own hands have hastily done. Think on the copy now in your face's front, Weigh the scales of outcome on your life's hunt.

Armageddon by Theus1989, literature

Literature

Armageddon

Armageddon By Matthew Theus If the world is to end at the year's close Than what will it have mattered to Function? Function being that which operates high and low To control the errands of Heavenly motion. That if the effect must be oblivion, Than the cause shall must be hard providence. The universe will continue for millions Of equally immaterial, lonely planets And all that man has done, thought, or spoken Will be never entertained by a soul, Or be remembered by us who are chosen To be destroyed by brimstone and hot coal. The smothering ash will envelope the world And into nothing we will all be hurled.

Of Shakespeare

Of Shakespeare By Matthew Theus Is it too much to consider that the Great Playwright, whom is oft brought back by His faithful kin, those lost boys and women Who on Muse's platform command his life's work And in so doing revive his soul, might Be able to be invoked as muse to block? Could I not believe in miracles divine, Or in Karma's reciprocal nature, Easily as one believes in perception Of false mortal time-pass. But within mine Very own mind such question brings to nurture Thoughts racing to aspiration. For if this question that has dared been asked, Tonight, here, against the back drop of stars That shimmer in Our favor

Of Death

Of Death By Matthew Theus With this moment's temporal rest, I invite Eternity's minion to lay upon weary eyes. And with heavy touch, but not without light, Dream a peaceful sleep where dreamers survive. but shall Death warrant I must leave the world so, Make haste to deliver me as the arrow Which flies fleeing true from the mighty bow. Make haste to pass judgment 'pon life's shortcomings Which hang upon men's minds like black iron wrought. Make wholehearted attempt, with tools unteaching, To undue life's lessons which living has taught And has brought about rapid change breaching. Therefore, O Death, thou great Equalizer That n

A Dangerous Question

A Dangerous Question By Matthew Theus Real, What is Real? Can one of such structure Of the mind of men dare to contemplate Questions that would threaten to rip asunder The two hemispheres which did pose such question. For the very rendering of said question Throws to panic! All manner and function Of the light brain which real'ty pins to ground. Release! The pain of shackles that are bound To thy controlled, helpless, pleading thought Which caused your mind to find what you sought. Thought being the very soul to the heavy Body which weighs soul's astral nature steady. Allow it once to roam free and ponder If there truly is tha

Clocks For Eyes by Crazyone222, literature

Literature

Clocks For Eyes

The creature with clocks for eyes Swallows the years as it prowls our garden Thin and gangly but with dignified grace It sees the time on everyone's face One clock is the present And one clock is the future There is no past and You can never go back The creature with clocks for eyes Doesn't tell you when its hungry It never goes without Because all it could ever need Is given without question It has two faces, four hands An eternity of deadly conscience Nothing to reconcile with Nothing to apologize to It doesn't hear you When the jaws snap shut for the final time You'll know the gateway to the past is closed There is no t

My Bio

I am inbetween semester at the moment, but am an English with a Business minor. I have read more classical literature than anyone I have ever talked to who isnt already a university professor. These pieces of literature and poetry make up the influencial dynamic that I hope reflects back into my work. Most of my friends and acquaintances typically describe me as being intelligent and 'zen' which is appropriate enough because my religous beliefs are a mix of gnostic christianity and buddhism. My favorite author by far is William Shakespeare, and thus when I write I find that my work reflects what I admire most in his. All of my poetry is written with variable, and sometimes absent, rhyme schemes. Also, everything I write is written in iambic pentameter (5 measures of stressed/unstressed syllable pairs) which I feel most closely resembles speech or thought.

Also be sure to check out my photography, One of my favorite hobbies =)
