ZA Furries

I have written some things in the past on here, so I'll start a thread for the next ones instead, so I won't flood the forum with my fortuitous future fumblings.
These may be depressing or silly or just plain bad. Fair warning =P

Echoes of the Past:
The Howl
--------------------------------

Can you hear the lone wolf howl,
For a love long lost;
Can you see the rooftop owl
Sitting in the frost?

Something stirs within,
First its cool, then searing hot,
A burning anger in his skin
That dark, inner rot.

He howls again, and asks,
''Tell me, Moon, and tell me true.
Did I not remove my masks,
When I said that I loved you?''

''Some you did, but not all, "
Moon replied,
"I had to watch you fall,
you ruined us, for your pride;

And now you are without a guide
In the darkness you reside.
Trust me wolf, for I have tried,
When I loved you, I only cried."

That is beautiful, Echo.
I really like it.
Please, keep writing more.

Thanks Trace ^^,
I have another one that I'll add shortly.

Jaws of Iron, chain of steel
Here it lies in wait
Beneath a veil of promises, conceal
There lies the Jaws of Fate.

The veil portrays that
Which your heart most desires
A sweet, baby cat,
Or warm, cozy fires;

The embrace of the Moon,
The comfort of the Sun..
But just as soon
As you start to run,

The veil will lift,
promises fade away.
If you are not swift,
It will lead you astray;

So beware the Trap,
And mind the gap.
Follow the map,
Or your neck will snap.

I love it, well done!

Thanks BysnhRoach! I'm glad you like it c=

Dark skies, dark clouds
Rain pouring from within
Lightning hides within it's shrouds
Concealing your every sin.

None of us are protected
Not him, nor her nor they.
In this way we're all connected
Together we'll keep it at bay.

The darkness comes for all of us
No matter who you are
But it's your choice to make a fuss
Or to simply raise the bar.


Wipe the tears from your eyes.
Together we can save our lives.
The lone wolf dies,
But the pack survives.

Leaves that fall in isolation:
Do they really fall?
Can you feel the frustration
Of someone who's not heard, at all?

Do you ever wish to break the silence;
That soundless veil around you?
Maybe he needs some violence,
To punch a wall or two.

The haunting sound of a crow,
A soft rustle of leaves..
The trees seem to grow
Yet nothing is as he perceives.

Reality feels distant,
His footfalls surreal:
He feels non-existant
On his search for a meal.

The black of his fur
And the red of his marks
All turns to a blur
As he sprints into the dark.

The Forest swallows all
things that follows it call.
Make sure you don't fall,
As its trees are tall...

I really like these, still.
Thank you for sharing them.

Thanks Trace ^^ I'm glad you do!
------------------------------------------------------
The gentle caress of soft moonlight
A soft breeze on my skin
I try to fight, but try as I might
I just can't seem to win.

I try to block out thoughts of you
But they always seem to linger
I just so wish that I could break through
But you grip me without twitching a finger.

So I begin the ascent up a crooked hill
Where I hope to find an answer
To the question that haunts me still.
One can hope, like a horse mounted lancer,

That he is in the right:
He did what he thought
Would prevent the fight
Though the darkness still had to be fought.

Far in the distance a wolf starts to sing
For the skies to bring
His love back to him:
The Moon is a beautiful thing.

Alone in the dark
Where the ancients had stayed
Here they made their mark
So their memory won't be betrayed.

I claw the stones to leave behind
A small piece of my broken mind...
Will time be kind?
What else will I find?

Will my mark be enough?
These scratches in the rocks,
Artworks in the rough.
Though time still mocks...

I don't want to die!
Can I really choose who I want to be?
Look me in the eye!
Tell me, what will become of me?

The void makes its call
My thoughts fall apart
I'm trying to stall
But time flies like a dart.

The darkness surrounds me
Approaching my destiny
I'm not what I want to be
Is it only me who can't see?
