《When It Rains, It Pours》Mora
Advertisement
A voice of thunder
Passionately enthralled
Thrummed across a cloudless sky
I am the spirit of this earth
In a body unchained
Disquieted with memories
Its visions were desperate
Its feelings
Anxious
Hard to control
The aching and the sorrow of its essence
Slowly ravished
Then devoured and fled
Now it haunts me
Here in this place
With sanctuary hard to come by
No peace I find
Only the emptiness
Of what once was
And what in hope shall be reborn
When the winds of the east blow
Changes will come
Seasons out of time
Summer's snow
Autumn reborn
Winter's growth
Sleep to Spring comes
The great mother shakes
Fires and floods to cleanse her soul
All sentience quakes
Prophecy, phantasm or prediction
Words they find me
And on this night
Displace the dreams
Once passionate causes
Long ago abandoned
Now call for their conclusion
A tempest to be reforged
Reborn in steel
With a righteous vengeance to yield
Strength I find in their touch
A rush I feel in my blood
Look within all
Look within
They're calling
Beseeching
For here is the beginning
And the end
And all that has come before
And all that will be sure to come again
The cycle will wheel ever onward
Even without one as myself for witness
An Angel rebukes
Woeful of tone
Without hope there can be no love
Without love there can be no peace
Without peace there can be no future
Without the future there can be no hope
So it goes
So it goes
The lady's web is almost complete
The stars in the heavens scream to be seen
Yet night falls and no one is there to greet them
Some entranced by celebrity
Others by images obscene
Some can't even know they exist
Blinded by the light ever present around their concrete walls
Where has all the wonder gone
When did chivalry die
It's just sleeping
Within all
Within
Can't you hear it calling
Or am I the only one to dare this madness

Pranking The Bad Boy
"What the hell?! Kennedy!" I watch as Ryder turns around furiously and strides towards me. Oh oh. Maybe I took it too far... "What's wrong with you?! Did you really have to cover my car in pink sticky notes?!" He steps towards me and I take a step back. He steps forward again and I step back until I'm up against the wall. "Well if you would have left me alone when I told you to, I wouldn't have had to do it," I fire back. He chuckles. "You don't know what you just got yourself into." "What do you mea--" I get cut off by his lips on mine. I freeze. What was happening? And why did it feel so good? Ryder grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck and tangle my fingers in his hair. He bites down on my bottom lip softly. As I was about to part my lips, he pulls away. "Better watch your back," he says. He smirks at me and then turns around to leave. What just happened? ____________________ Kennedy is not like most girls.

One harmless prank of pouring some pudding over his head starts a whole other war.
