Many Musings: A Collection

[Aaron Fletcher]

This is where I'll be posting my many literary works. Starting with:

Wizard Rhyme

I have a Firebolt underneath me.
Try to keep up, you can’t defeat me.
Leprechaun wand at the ready.
Curse, jinx, hex, dodge, disarm, steady
as she goes; she comes, and she rolls
over me like a tool, so I fold.
like antartica she’s so cold.
Frigid ice queen, she wants to duel.
So I accept like a dang fool.
Expelliarmus, she block its.
She mutters a curse, out shoots acid.
I hit her with a jinx, she’s placid.
I can’t faze her. My wit’s razor
sharp but I cannot graze her.
She laughs at my lame attempts,
and scoffs at me with contempt.
She puts me in a Full-Body Bind.
I can’t move, and then I go blind.
I’m not sure what she just did.
I just know that it’s over, kid.
So give up, surrender, give in.
There’s no way you can win.
Show humility now before
she humiliates you again.
Even Accio can’t summon
you from this horrible thumpin’.
Like an ant against a centaur,
a dog against a Muggle car,
watching you against that witch.
You’re a Seeker without a snitch.
A Beater without a bat.
They should send you to Azkaban
it was that bad. But what can
you do now about it, nothin.
So there’s no use in fussin’.
Get up, dust off, move on, learn.
The lesson’s in your head now, burned.

Now I am in class, Potions,
way down deep in the dungeons.
Brewing a cure for posion,
I make a rapt commotion.
The potion begins to steam.
It turns sick green, so I scream
out of frustration. I'm screwed.
What am I ever to do?
Snape gives me a scalding look.
I quickly close my school book.
I try to rush out asap.
The professor calls me back.
"Are you always incompentant?"
I look at him with resentment.
"Always." I reply and rush,
leaving the class in a hush.

Sonnet

[1st Verse]
A beautiful sonnet with a treacherous melody
is all that comforts and plagues me.
It's a contradiction like infallible fallacy,
something only the blind can see.
Where is meaning's abode; and where dwellet the lost rhythm?
Where is the message within him?
Precious poetry springs from his dark soul. It is haunting.
But he's shackled. It is daunting.
They mock him. He's encumbered by their merciless taunting.
He pretends nothign's amiss, flaunting
words and lyrics. He's a craftsman of his vernacular.
He procures verses spectacular.
In the end though, 'tis naught but a ploy!
For though man he seems, he's but a boy!

[Chorus]
Darkness seems a friend, an ally.
But she feigns kindness. A folly
for me to trust so eagerly.
I hide, embraced in her arms.
Darkness strangles me, though,
and a nest of doubt swarms.
Yet, they keep me from being torn.
Expect the worse, hope for the best
to avoid the Cold's wooden rest.
I reach to feel my heart
shudder. There's a faint thump.
I'm decimated into crumbs.
I become catatonic.

A whispering tickles my ear.
It seems my heart fancies fear.
I'm addicted to this malice.
Long for Wonderland like Alice.
I find myself in Mordor
surrounded by goblins and orcs;
and all manner of vile evil.
Tell me now, where is my eagle?
To life me up from this dire mire!
To save me from scorching fire!
Must I remain ever stranded?
And how amd I to be candid?
I fear I feel the turth, concrete.
Yet, I cannot accept defeat!
I trudge on, heeldess of my wounds.
I know I must faint or die soon.

[2nd Verse]
A trickle, a sliver, that is all hope needs to flourish.
Sometimes, I must feign courage.
I need mercy. A thread is my noose. I hang from my pride.
My eyes have turned far from my guide.
So I wander, lost, a dumb smile displayed across my face.
Please, I year for naught but a taste!
Of what has been ordained love, happiness. Can't I sample
a morsel? Must I stay trampled?
Ah, Death's freezing cuddle comes once again to console!
I fight, lift myself from this hole.
I shan't be defeated! I shan't allow myself to mourn!
Though, my spirit's forever worn.

Release Me

I hate myself for falling for you.
I told myself no, but my plans fell through.
I tried pushing you away from me,
but the future never comes in clearly.
We ended up closer than ever before.
You said, "Come to me when your heart is sore."
But I can't tell you the truth
and I can't tell you a lie.
So I stay silent and let my tears multiply.
Everything is as I feared.
Whenever you come near,
my heart soars out of here.
You came as a friend, which tore me apart.
But it's a start and I've metal in my heart.
The only thing that keeps me sane
and distracts me from my pain
are my rhymes,
but that's only half the time.
I am dim, but, girl, you shine.
This wasn't my intention,
but as I before mentioned,
you never know what's going to happen.
I continue on with my rapping;
praying that it's all a phase;
that it's all just infatuation,
a myth of my creation.
But a revelation comes.
I see that I'm in love.
Oh have mercy, gods above!
I don't know what I was thinkin' of.
Oh, yes I do!
Girl, I was thinking of you.
I wish I cried blood so I could bleed, too.
I don't even understand what I'm going through.
I see colors and swirls. Shapes are meltin'.
I'm will in love. I fell in
headfirst.
I call it a tragedy.
I try to convince myself otherwise,
but that's a fallacy.
Please be patient as I claw
myself out of this mire.
If I grow cold, maybe you won't
set my soul on fire.
Now I close my eyes, because I'm tired.
Release me from this captivity!
What use do you have for me?
Honestly?
I know we're close friends, but this is cruel!
Inside persists a constant duel
between what I want
and what you need.

[Aaron Fletcher]

Ending

[1st Verse]
Miscommunication has ended another friendship.
Oh well. That is ok. Because, it was all bullsh**.
Tell me now, why should I bother to even care?
It seems as if I'll never experience that rare
gift of friend that is there until the wretched end.
And I feel that despite the countless time that I spend
searching and searching and seeking and seeking,
my heart shall continue on in endless weeping.
I can't stop once I've started caring, I've a conscience.
My soul endures, I love regardless of nonsense.
I hope the best happens for you. That's all I can do.
You love him. I accept that. I assume he loves you too.
So please, I beg you, I implore you, remain happy.
Why don't you just wipe your memory and forsake me?
I can't continue on living a lie, though I try.
I give you a faint smile, but inside joy dies.

[Chorus]
My heart, be still now. Go back to sleep.
Show no weakness.
We cannot allow her to see us weep.
My soul, settle down. Know chaos no more.
The future's pale.
We must be prepared for what's in store.
She's an angel. But of what? I don't know.
Of love? Of death?
Both joy and sorrow steadily grow.
How can I slumber? Jets of madness flash
across my cranium.
Her presence, or thoughts thereof, make me rash.

[2nd verse]
I repent, I recant. I renounce, I disavow.
Can you say you truly care about me now?
You said you cared, that you'd be there no matther the need.
Because of you, I quit alcohol and I quit weed.
And I enrolled in classes to get my GED.
But was it pointless? Now that friendship is history?
I suppose no matter the motive, it had purpose.
At least in the future, I'll no longer be worthless.
Though, at what cost? Is it worth it? This success?
If I've none to share it with? I've become a mess.
The guilt bares down.I can't stand my reflection.
My eyes betray my contirition. This affliction
is an old pal. Though, I've not seen him in a while.
We've caught up. He's the same. He is equally as vile
as he was last time. But I am the one to blame.
Not matter the change, things stay the same.
