  <link>http://crossfadin.livejournal.com/5200.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Woah this is almost unprecedented. A third poem posted in about a week! Creativism at a high I guess. Enjoy and COMMENT!(please? haha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Injured Dreams&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m looking for a higher answer&lt;br /&gt;another reason for what I&apos;ve become&lt;br /&gt;One more form of this cancer&lt;br /&gt;A fate that only happens to none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Losing my way again&lt;br /&gt;not sure what to trust&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t believe I came this far&lt;br /&gt;On a path where sorrow is a must&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where was that god&lt;br /&gt;who sent me on such a journey&lt;br /&gt;Where is he now that it&apos;s over?&lt;br /&gt;likely sending another injury&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pulled down and aside&lt;br /&gt;by my own sense of worth&lt;br /&gt;bracing myself against the coming tide&lt;br /&gt;In a place where we refuse to be first&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Searching for another road&lt;br /&gt;guided only by my feet below&lt;br /&gt;Falling off dreams I once rode&lt;br /&gt;Never was there such a foe&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can never find what I need&lt;br /&gt;So many call me friend&lt;br /&gt;Only here to help my defeat&lt;br /&gt;While claiming to help mend&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Climbing up this mountain again&lt;br /&gt;How many times will I fall down?&lt;br /&gt;Following the footprints of so many men&lt;br /&gt;Will I ever make a sound?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Life strips away my hope&lt;br /&gt;you chalk it up to the simple fact of breathing&lt;br /&gt;While you tieing your own rope&lt;br /&gt;Knowing that our dreams cannot be&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a world filled with misplaced sins&lt;br /&gt;and all anyone ever knows is fading&lt;br /&gt;You are not judged by what you are&lt;br /&gt;But by what you could have been&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Now its a game to find the meaning... XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Liar&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So tell me what to do&lt;br /&gt;To open up your heart&lt;br /&gt;And tell me what went wrong&lt;br /&gt;In love I felt for so long&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This weight inside my skin&lt;br /&gt;is starting to tear at the chest&lt;br /&gt;A heavy burden dragging it down&lt;br /&gt;Until if finally sinks into the abyss&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve born witness to crime&lt;br /&gt;To the catacombs of life&lt;br /&gt;and the morgue of society&lt;br /&gt;suffocating true emotions&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Culture absorbs what different&lt;br /&gt;Doesn&apos;t accept indivuality&lt;br /&gt;And love is no exception to that&lt;br /&gt;Prepare for it to be washed away in the tidal wave&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whos to say that they are right?&lt;br /&gt;To swallow your soul&lt;br /&gt;and spit out another machine&lt;br /&gt;Defined by routine&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From outside humanity&lt;br /&gt;you can see the darkness&lt;br /&gt;and feel its heaviness&lt;br /&gt;gripping at the life inside&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Out of a world so bright&lt;br /&gt;Comes another creeping&lt;br /&gt;Blanketing the world in plight&lt;br /&gt;Leaving it as like all the others&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He promised to bring glory&lt;br /&gt;To a world blackened evermore&lt;br /&gt;To deliver salvation&lt;br /&gt;Only for us to discover whats inside the liar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>My World</title>
  <link>http://crossfadin.livejournal.com/3447.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose this may seem slightly&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;negative, but I tried to have it balanced. Not sure how well that worked out though. Comments?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;My World&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;A joyous world mine has become&lt;br /&gt;Repentment is plentiful&lt;br /&gt;Friends gather round&lt;br /&gt;Life smiles down at us&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A rich world mine has become&lt;br /&gt;Where integrity faces me at every turn&lt;br /&gt;Love is given freely&lt;br /&gt;Hate a term for forgotten recklessness&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A growing world mine has become&lt;br /&gt;Where all are filled with bliss&lt;br /&gt;and hope looks to new horizons too long ignored&lt;br /&gt;My world embraces me&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A sad world mine has become&lt;br /&gt;Forgiveness has forsaken me&lt;br /&gt;And friends betrayed me&lt;br /&gt;Life itself is set against me&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A desolate world mine has become&lt;br /&gt;devoid of worthy notions&lt;br /&gt;Love flee&apos;s at every turn&lt;br /&gt;Hate beckons towards me&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A decaying world mine has become&lt;br /&gt;Happiness withers away&lt;br /&gt;Hopes light is blotted out&lt;br /&gt;My world has turned against me&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But is a world of my making&lt;br /&gt;Whether its during the euphoria of life&lt;br /&gt;Or the depressing pressure of living&lt;br /&gt;I made it with my own hands&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not much to say, although it does have a slight meaning to it this time. If curious as to what it is, ask ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Escape&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flee from what you thought you knew&lt;br /&gt;Run away from what wont miss you&lt;br /&gt;Find your shelter&lt;br /&gt;Away from the shallow bay&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is left for you there&lt;br /&gt;among the crashing waves&lt;br /&gt;People clamouring for secrets&lt;br /&gt;Where none should be given&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pick up your anchor,&lt;br /&gt;Cast off your boats&lt;br /&gt;Open your sails&lt;br /&gt;Never look back&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why should you stay?&lt;br /&gt;In the tide of betrayal&lt;br /&gt;Where fools rule with emotions&lt;br /&gt;rather then knowledge and honor&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where no happiness can endure&lt;br /&gt;All that was loved leaves&lt;br /&gt;A whirlpool of darkness&lt;br /&gt;A cesspool of hate&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pick up your anchor,&lt;br /&gt;Cast off your boats&lt;br /&gt;Open your sails&lt;br /&gt;Never look back&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Swim away from the tide&lt;br /&gt;That tries to corrupt you&lt;br /&gt;To seduce you into lies&lt;br /&gt;and forfeit your integrity&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The water that laps at your feet&lt;br /&gt;Turned against you by friends&lt;br /&gt;Poisoning your resolve&lt;br /&gt;Weakening your loyalty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pick up your anchor,&lt;br /&gt;Cast off your boats&lt;br /&gt;Open your sails&lt;br /&gt;Never look back&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leave it all behind.&lt;br /&gt;Face foward&lt;br /&gt;To the breaking dawn&lt;br /&gt;Out of the shallow bay&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>The World</title>
  <link>http://crossfadin.livejournal.com/1079.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Read more...&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back again guys, noticin&amp;nbsp;hardly any views. that makes me sad =(&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, heres something I wrote without knowing what it was or why. Enjoy,&amp;nbsp;tell me your view of it and comments please&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Now for the story&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The heat pounds down upon the mans bare head, only fueling his desperate attempt. The halos of the sun only remind him of what is at the end of this journey, at the end of this last desperate grab for life. He stops now there is no coming back, all that is not lost already will soon fade away with everything else that was once important. This man, the last of his kind, needs to reach the end if he ever wants to be remembered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It all began on that cold day oh so long ago, so far past that even the memory of it is slowly fading like the rest of him. The day when he learned that he was part of the world, that it was the world that made him. Now the world needed him back, needed what it had given to him that dark winter morning. All along he had only been waiting to be called upon, not living even after being rebirthed to do that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scolding himself for letting his mind wander, the man continues his slow journey home. Home being just a term used to imbue familairity to it, despite that it is a place that should never deemed as a home. The haunting allure of &apos;home&apos; wasn&apos;t that it was home, it was that it had been there since the end. What was not there before only came when life had ran its course.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like a virus, life had been repelled by that which life believed sustained it. The virus simply had needed a cure, a cure that only &apos;home&apos; could administer. With the cures job complete, it now only had one thing left to do. It had to return until needed again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The man finally looks onto &apos;home&apos;, and feels worse then he ever did when curing the virus. He had done his job, extremely well if he could say so, but what if he hadn&apos;t done it nearly as well as he believed? What if the cure had left behind some remains of life? It is hard to imagine what &apos;home&apos; would do to him if that happeneed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following the urge to return, he went home and awaited the world&apos;s assessment. Life had been a plague that continuely pained the world, it only made sense that it had to be eliminated. The cure&apos;s mind slowly turned to the thought that maybe given time, the plauge could&apos;ve become the cure itself. But thats absurd, and The Cure know&apos;s it. Life had been given more then enough time to prove it could help, in the end it only hurt. The Man knew this, but did not know that life was precious. How could he? He had been given the instinctual urge to extingushe it, and had treated it as a blight on his benefactor. And what was there to do with such a blight but purge it? Nothing except, the Man knew and accepted this fact. But why then was he so troubled when the last of life had fallen?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Somewhere within him he knew the answer, but was scared to confront it. Knew that the cure itself was life, therefore also the plauge it was meant to destroy. Thus for his job finally to be done, he had to...die. A foreign concept to one who had always believed himself not living or dead, simply there. It wasn&apos;t long at all before The World gave its answer, and with it his sentence. A sigh, an almost human emotion, comes from the Man tinged with regret.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With it, The World finishes the task he had started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Read more...&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Starting this blogging thing again, did it only once or twice before and not used to it. So I figure I&apos;d give you guys a treat (or not depending on u) by postin a story I wrote for a class last year. Oh and bonus points for who can guess I got the idea for Kiri from :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Requiem for a Son(better name needed, suggestions?)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thunk, the newest corpse joins its companions on the floor. “&lt;em&gt;Three at once, they nearly had a chance&lt;/em&gt;.” Kiri stoops to the nearest body and cleans his knife on its shirt. Stepping over it, he proceeds down the now empty hall. “&lt;em&gt;Kyuzo was completely wrong for once. The layout isn’t at all like he showed me&lt;/em&gt;.” Irritation registered briefly before Kiri brushed it away and turned the corner.&lt;br /&gt;Faster then he thinks, Kiri launches his knife threw the air. It clunks into the wall, clean. “Humph, miss.” Tossing another knife, he lunges forward and grabs his target this time. The knife collides right with the victim’s throat, trapped in Kiri&apos;s grip. Retrieving both knives, Kiri goes on without slowing.&lt;br /&gt;“Pathetic” the noise in the previous silence echos down the corridor. Without a pause, the knife flies from Kiri’s hand. A thud accompanies its arrival to flesh. “What you think that’ll do it?” Annoyed by it, he lets fly another knife. This too hits its mark. “Is this all ‘Nanaya Kiri’ has to offer? Pathetic.”&amp;nbsp; Bored with the whole affair, Kiri decides to opt for a different approach. A small grin grows on his face.&lt;br /&gt;Closing his eyes for a moment, a small grin grows on his face. Gone is the calm blue; in its place is a violent red. Without thought, Kiri reaches out and grabs his foe. “You’re the one “ his hand becomes a fist “who’s pathetic.” Opening his hand, he lets this new body join its comrades.&lt;br /&gt;The eyes changing back to their native color, Kiri remembers why he is there. Recalling that he’s here on a mission, he continues on. Coming to the end of the hallway, Kiri pushes through a set of oak doors into a wide-open clearing.&lt;br /&gt;He drops to a knee, as a rapier appears where his head was a moment before. “&lt;em&gt;Odd, I didn’t even feel him there&lt;/em&gt;.” He’s forced to dodge again as the rapier comes toward him. Rolling to the side, he tries slashing her arm but is stopped by a withdrawn blade.&amp;nbsp; “&lt;em&gt;Hah… maybe this is the challenge Kyuzo mentioned&lt;/em&gt;.” A child-like&amp;nbsp;giggle nearly escapes from him at the thought. A claymore falls at him before it can get out. “&lt;em&gt;Claymore? It was a rapier before&lt;/em&gt;.” Looking at his foe, Kiri sees the weapon just as it morphs back into a rapier. “&lt;em&gt;Now this, could get interesting&lt;/em&gt;.” Kiri thinks to himself. With a flourish of his hand, he now holds 3 knives.&lt;br /&gt;Tossing the first one, he flexed his leg and reached his foe before it arrived. Slashing at his foe’s chest, he notices a distinctly feminine feature. “&lt;em&gt;Not his, hers&lt;/em&gt;.”&amp;nbsp; The clatter of his knife hitting the ground and his blade being blocked jolts him back to the present. Retreating, Kiri readies another knife. “Now this, might actually be a fun fight.”&lt;br /&gt;Throwing another knife, Kiri once again lunges forward and slashes; but at her leg this time. Showing some strain, she manages to deflect both attacks. “Heh, I think I just use my favorite move on her after all.” With one knife left, he readies for the last assault.&lt;br /&gt;Launching the final knife right at her neck, Kiri leaps after it. Turning upside-down in the aid, he is completely vertical as he reaches her. After knocking his knife away, she didn’t see him flying after. “Too late for you, girl.” Grabbing a hold of her head, he snaps it as he falls to the ground. Sighing, Kiri retrieves his 3 knives. &lt;br /&gt;A faint aura reaches him then. For some reason, it is oddly familiar to the assassin. Pushing through the final set of doors, he enters to a voice talking. “Quite impressive really, I never thought of that before I saw it. Using yourself as a weapon... I know you always taught me it could be done, but never in that way.”&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;What is this fool talking about? Taught him?”&lt;/em&gt; Kiri is not left wondering though.&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t tell me you don’t recognize the face of your own son.” The voice sounds&amp;nbsp; hurt.&lt;br /&gt;“Son? The only son I had is lost to me.” &lt;br /&gt;“Now I know you didn’t look to kindly on that whole betrayal thing, but I had hoped for at least some sort of reaction from you.” Sighing almost regretfully, his &quot;son&quot; moves.&lt;br /&gt;Thud. Looking down at his chest, he sees a knife embedded to the hilt in his chest.&lt;br /&gt;“My my dad, you disobeyed your own number one rule. ‘Never lower your guard.’ Remember?”&lt;br /&gt;“Hah… how did this happen?” Kiri says more to myself then him&lt;br /&gt;“I shouldn’t have expected so much, this is such a disappointment.” Walking away, the son makes to leave the building.&lt;br /&gt;“So this is what Kyuzo had talked about. My own son Shiki, is the target and challenge. I’ll have to congratulate him on finding this job.” For a long moment, Kiri’s eyes are closed. Then open up to reveal red. “Now I can let myself go.”&amp;nbsp; A deep sigh escapes from him, and the knife in his chest falls to the ground. &lt;br /&gt;“Hm?” Shiki has a right to wonder. Kiri’s whole bottom half was now covered in coarse, black hair. His arms elongate while turning a bright metallic gray, and he grows at least three feet. The head retains most of its form, except gaining a dark tint and a mane ran along his neck&lt;br /&gt;“You also forgot rule number 2, ‘Shiki’.&amp;nbsp; Always make sure your victim is dead.”&lt;br /&gt;Kiri fixes his now feral eyes on Shiki. Realizing the hopeless predicament&amp;nbsp;he is in, Shiki turns to run.&amp;nbsp;Not fast enough though,&amp;nbsp;he is too slow to escape the long reach of his father. Holding his son in one hand, Kiri says “Going somewhere, son?” A broad grin on his face.&lt;br /&gt;“Hey dad, don’t you think you might be overdoing it just a bit?”&lt;br /&gt;“Not at all Shiki, this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been able to do this. Now then, never call me father again.”&lt;br /&gt;“Ok Ok, I won’t! Just please, let me go! I swear I will never call you father again!”&lt;br /&gt;“Your right, you won&apos;t ever call me father again. You won&apos;t be give the chance.” With that, Kiri tightens his grip and ends Shiki’s life. Dropping the corpse, it’s blood flows out of the&amp;nbsp;ruptured head as he leaves. Already in his normal form, Kiri leaves Shiki’s body and leaves in hope of finding some more &apos;fun&apos;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well there ya go. Might not be the prettiest, but I like it. comments please!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
