 * =__ Poems __=

Alone
The noon's greygolden meshes make

All night a veil,

The shorelamps in the sleeping lake

Laburnum tendrils trail.

The sly reeds whisper to the night

A name-- her name-

And all my soul is a delight ,

A swoon of shame.

====

Go Seek Her Out
Go seek her out all courteously,

And say I come,

Wind of spices whose song is ever

Epithalamium.

O, hurry over the dark lands

And run upon the sea

For seas and lands shall not divide us

My love and me.

Now, wind, of your good courtesy

I pray you go,

And come into her little garden

And sing at her window;

Singing: The bridal wind is blowing

For Love is at his noon;

And soon will your true love be with you,

Soon, O soon.

Flood
Goldbrown upon the sated flood

The rockvine clusters lift and sway;

Vast wings above the lambent waters brood

Of sullen day.

A waste of waters ruthlessly

Sways and uplifts its weedy mane

Where brooding day stares down upon the sea

In dull disdain.

Uplift and sway, O golden vine,

Your clustered fruits to love's full flood ,

Lambent and vast and ruthless as is thine

Incertitude! || =__ Songs __= Props & Mayhem by Pierce the Veil

Does it even make a difference? When I'm sober, I feel pain 'Cause we run under the stars through cemetery backyards, Celebrate the way the night hides scars.

So dance! If it moves you Jump in the fire If it burns you I'll throw my arms around you darling And we'll turn to ashes drown me in the flames Scream in the dark! I'm gonna light up this place and die in beautiful stars

And  I will be the only light I'll be the only light

Hey Baby, Here's That Song You Wanted by Blessthefall I watched the sun again, it's leaving now

I've spent all night long, trying to figure out

What I've lost and what I've found

When my feet won't hit the ground

Trying to make it, starting over

And will we ever love again?

Hey baby, are you alone tonight?

How can we make it?

Hey baby, looks like you were wrong.

It's never too late, too late.

I keep putting together, what we've lost

But pieces keep falling one by one

Cause this life has us holding on

For tomorrow then it's gone

For tomorrow then I'm gone.

Hey baby, it looks like you were wrong

How can we make it?

Hey baby, are you alone tonight?

How can we make it?

Hey baby, looks like you were wrong.

It's never too late, too late.

Bulletproof Love by Pierce the Veil
I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights.

We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights.

It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone.

So don't don't wake me up, because my thrill is gone.(say im wrong)

in the sunset turning red behind the smoke.

Forever and alone.

Yeah.

You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me

will never leave my lips again, under the blinding rain.

I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrist,

And when the vultures sing tonight, I'm gonna join right in.

I'll sing along,

'Cause I don't know any other song

I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.

No, I'm barely hanging on.

By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.

And now there's nothing to do, but scream at the drunken moon

This isn't fair, no, don't you try to blame this on me.

My love for you was bulletproof, but your the one who shot me.

And goddamn it, I can barely say your name.

So I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink.

Woah. Oh.

But, don't just say it, you should sing my name.

Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours.

And we can sing this on the way home.

I'll sing along,

'Cause I don't know any other song

I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.

No, I'm barely hanging on.

By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.

But there's nothing to do, but tear my lies apart.

There's nothing to dobut tear my voice apart and scream at the drunken moon || Repetition: is when words or phrases are repeated multiple times to try and make the point have emphasis. The effect is has in the poem is to try and make the point clear of what James Joyce is trying to prove to the readers in his poems.

Metaphor: a comparison two unlike things by saying something is something else. James Joyce's metaphors are used to help make a loving scene in his writings and create a visual image.

Imagery: words that help create an image in the reader's mind. The words used in his works help create a mood and feeling because of his word choice.

Personification: giving an inanimate object human characteristics. When he gives inanimate objects, the feelings help with imagery and creates feeling and makes his poems come to life.

Author Intrusion: is when the author takes a break in the story to say something. When he's telling a story in his poem, when he cuts away, it almost seems urgent and brings attention to what he's trying to state.
