Don't See Sinister Please.

Running Spy

Four high halls,

A wondering eye.

Seven breaths later,

She left me to die.

Revenge

You wronged me.

And now you lay there cold and breathless,

Because if you wrong me-

I leave you cold and breathless.

A sickly frail sneaking,

Murder on the stairs, a short half sketch,

Across alabaster skin drawing lines of fire.

Our hands hold justice, a blade of ice.

Because if you wrong us,

We leave you cold and breathless.

Blame

Battle a dance, a clash of tides,

Thundered in smoke a wise man hides,

Run boy run, his screams made pain,

The boy looked back, the boy was slain.

Confusion

I saw the earth made diamond,

A cloud at the bottom of the door,

There are feet running circles on the pavement,

There's a body, hanging from the floor.

I saw a horse pulled backwards,

I saw a dagger in the law,

There are five small hearts on this harp string,

There's a body, hanging from the floor.

I saw the bed sheets darken,

Past the window, a shadow on the moor,

There's a man sat laughing underneath me,

My body, hanging from the floor.

I wrote these yesterday, they're not the best but they were fun, it was a nice change. I don't do much poetry and I never have a craving to write it, so this was an unexpected twist to my day *haha* - I am not as morbid as they may sound, today I am actually quite happy! I have started reading Warbreaker and I must say, it is devilishly intriguing. The magic system really annoyed me at first because it was so alien and I just couldn't get my head around it... BUT! I think that this is a good thing, it's how I'd react if I was introduced to a real magic system - if one were to exist. 

Also, my initial inability to accept it only proves to me that it is an original concept, if I understood it straight away and recognised its rules and conventions then it would mean that I had, in some form, seen it previously. I have to say, this seems to be the case with a lot of high fantasy novels I have read, their magic systems have been done and it gets boring. Warbreaker has brought something new and I'm really enjoying it. The review won't be up tomorrow but I will definitely have it finished by Wednesday - I've been busy what with all the Christmas madness! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
