//------------------------------// // The Cutie Mark Poems // Story: My Little Poems - Ponies with Metal // by Lectuiae //------------------------------// THE CUTIE MARK POEMS – PONIES AND AMORPHIS Under the Clouds a New World All my life I had been weak on my wings Helpless fly, unable to hold my own All my life I had feared falling off the clouds Scared I fell into world below my own Ne'er before Had I seen the green world Boundless beauty it offered Under sun I saw wonders born of earth Miracles of nature's work On the ground I had been once scared to see Thrived the world full of colors, light and life All my life I had been weak on my wings On the ground I am not afraid to fall On the sky Vaults of heaven gave me Wings to fly above the clouds Under sun Woodland creatures guided me Breathe the air of living earth (the green world…) Through the woods tranquil I heard fauna's songs Gentle wind told me stories of the land Smiling I answered, understood their words Learned to love the life on ground Below heaven… Under clouds A new world opened to me World so rich and beautiful Under sun I saw wonders born of earth Miracles of nature's work Ne'er before Had I seen the green world Boundless beauty it offered Nevermore I would fear soaring in skies: World below me is my friend A Spell Guided Her Quest My heart in learning of arts To be costumer of lives An artisan graceful Needles and threads my swords and shields My armors made of the finest silks I had a talent to craft An eye to match With a young ambition: Make dresses of princess' worth Sew suits fit for a prince But still my skills were lacking The final touch to fulfill my art… In evening's dim it flickered: Spell evoked from the heart With magic's guide I started The journey to the unknown "Come rain or snow or choking drought I won't turn away! I'm on my way to find out My destiny's call, what I yearn for…" Followed the path for my fate For what lies beyond the far horizon My spell led me across the land Through forests, rivers and hills Came night, faded daylight But magic sign still showing forward Neither hunger nor thirst held me Not all the dirt in the world With sunset I kept on moving With sunrise already on the road… In evening's dim it had flickered: Spell evoked from the heart With magic's guide I had started The journey to the unknown "Come rain or snow or choking drought I won't turn away! I'm on my way to find out My destiny's call, what I yearn for…" At the mountain range my spell finally fades I'm at the quest's end, what was to find: This the fate I searched? Rock atop the hill? Spell had led me onto the brink of worthless stone? Sudden, a flash of colored light tore the core of stone apart. The bowels of earth offered her their hearts, precious gems… No Place Like Home Glass of finest wine Gathering of the highest ranks Outside the window glass I see world raining gray I wished to find place where I belong Seek exciting life outside my old world Yearned new faces, difference Away from my roots in backward lands To make a new life of my own (But…) Is my home really in a world of social norms When I still feel alone Who am I to live in a world that adores class When I don't feel alive Suffocate in manners Lost in maze of social standings No view of horizon In skyscrapers' shallow woods I wished to find place where I belong New exciting life outside my old world All I found was world of masks And myself hiding in puppet's clothes Like doll I gaze through the glass (Then…) Rain has ceased with purest rainbow ever seen It marks the sky with a sign Show me the path, where I can find my happiness Where I can find my home Follow the Trail of Rainbow Mane I was born to ride the heavens Feel the wind through my mane, within my wings Blinding sun, deafening gale rushing in ears Love for the sky, for the flight still guides my heart Bright sun against the cloudless sky… Excitement of the flight Breathe air ten thousand hooves off ground… Feel truly alive Unafraid to learn the newest tricks The ways above the clouds Unafraid of risks within my deeds I will just rise again… Ruthless fouls Bullying the weakest "You hurt my friends, I'll make you regret your words." Demanding them to make amends Standing by my friend's side Gather in line to start the race Challenge accepted Skyline's clouds our goal in horizon Through the practice course For my friends' sake I'd take any risk Protect them with my wings Dashing the course with speed of sound Fastest ride of my life Above the clouds wonder was born: A Sonic Rainboom… Sphere of colors shines over the folk Competes with the sun Arc of light follows the winner's flight A trail after her mane… …Through sky she rides Her greatest flight Fastest alive Through barrier strikes… In the race I earned my greatest prize Token of skill, speed and power Across skies I paint my mark, my rainbow trail… Awakened the Spark of Magic I: The Gifted Child Bedroom secured by wisdom Book piles be my fortress Candle lighting through the nights I studied the ways of magic Learned of the old knowledge and lore Gathered my knowing of spells and stories with the days gone by Ever since seeing Her raise the Sun I've had the thirst for learning more Achieve my tasks, fulfill my dreams Study under the greatest one… Days turned evenings as time flies Taken in the endless books Thousandfold of words in my mind At last the day had arrived: Prepared the best I could achieve I walked the stairs to the tower Under the shadow of royal Sun Enter the test, my gifted child Show them the skills you withhold If you're the one I've searched for Try hatch the egg of old beast… II: The Spark Trying, desperate, all of her tricks Casting a spell after 'nother Final tries went nigh in vain Before the wave, the tremor… Gathered force in prismatic light From her depths the power grew Echoes under the skin Shining beyond the borders Transforming matter at whim Bending the ground of existence Awakened power in a spark Be brave, for I see it now The talent you hold, my gifted child Awoken has the oldest magic: The spark of your heart. Learning to Smile I was a child of stones A daughter of the rock farmers No joy was known there But gloom and endless working Under the hot, blazing sun The barren fields, all without green Granites were our flowers Our grass made of sand and gravel I breathed the choking air on the wordless world I walked on soil bare of seeds… In a poor family among rocks A child was born with a bright mane Pink coat in colorless home Such a punchline in a grey world Gathered rocks in silence Aching hooves our pay for a hard work Dust on my eyes and throat I dreamed of world out of my life I breathed the choking air on the wordless world I walked on soil bare of seeds Throughout the days I gazed repressed at hollow skies A solace for indifference… The tremor passed over our farm In colors of rainbow light Broke through the woods and mountains Shaking me to the core The spectrum of light piercing my heart Woke me to see beauty in life Encouraging me to shine Open my heart and smile Passing the wave I shared my smile I kindled my first delight A party to lighten our home Comfort in hard working days With spectrum of light I found my path I learned to smile, sow seeds of joy To evoke fun in laughless lives To color the world of stone… with smiles "Have I told you before how I got my cutie mark…?"
