Celestia is at peace. Having just elected her student, Twilight Sparkle, to be a Royal Princess, she sits at the highest point in Canterlot, and contemplates her decisions in life. In a time she should be feeling joy and bliss, Celestia feels sorrow and pain. Why does she feel this way, and why now? That is what the Princess of the Sun tries to answer...

Companion Piece to my other poem, The Melancholy of Princess Luna: A Poem.

Love: It turns the world in an ever-encapsulating whirlwind, a tornado that is as viciously passionate as it is voraciously horrifying.

Belief: That which some ponies rely their whole lives upon, for sometimes, seeing is not always believing.

Me: A word that stems from the mouth of the user, to describe him or herself in a simple phrase. A phrase that knows no description, no discrepancies, no gender, and is only in the eye of the beholder. The beholder, of course is "me", "myself", and "I".

These words all mean something to Certain Pony.
To Another, they mean not a thing.

But, what do they mean to the world as a whole, in the eyes of one who sees all in the light of beauty and magnificence, and the other who sees but only darkness and sadness?

What, do they mean to Certain Pony and Another?

Caramel: Shy. Reclusive. Awkward. He's a mild-mannered pony that hardly gets into trouble. He's a hard enough worker, doing odd jobs around Ponyville. He can fix roofs, help the Apple family with their farm, and can even foalsit! However, one tiny detail about Caramel's little life has always eluded him: Love.

Yes, it is a sad thing, to be all out of love. No matter what he tries, poor Caramel cannot seem to find a mare to be with... Every time he tries, he either chickens out or the mare doesn't see that he needs help with his insecurity. That and, being the social recluse that he is, and being loveless, he isn't exactly hip and happenin' with his vocabulary. But, fail as he might, Caramel diligently tries to court many a mare, hoping to one day learn the lingo of the world around him, break out of his shell, and find everlasting happiness.

Enter Colgate: Outgoing. Witty. Dentist. She's the tenth mare this week on Caramel's list for lucky times! She's everypony's dentist in Ponyville, and a darn good one, at that! She's single, likable enough, and has a bit of a "sweet tooth" for the aptly-named colt. Something about him... Intrigues her. So, they decide to go on a date. Colgate wants a nice pony to settle down with, one that she can show the world to (for she loves to be in control of situations, which is why she loves dentistry!), and one who may help her with her "special needs".

One is outgoing. The other is shy. One knows of the world through gossip, dental work, and parties; however, the other does not. They seem like the perfect match! But will things go awry? Will Caramel step up to the plate? And does Colgate have a fetish? Will Caramel find out the true meaning of modern words? Or will he "buck" everything up once more, like many times before?

WARNING: Rated "Teen" for mild language, suggestive themes, and sensual, but not entirely sexual, content. THIS IS NOT A CLOPFIC (hence the rating, duh), but rather a comedic romance with heavy, heavy, HEAVY amounts of suggestiveness. You have been warned.

(This story is a submission for the 1st Writing Prompt of the group Author of the Weak, an awesome group by Shadowflash! Seriously, check it out!)

This is a tale of ponies. And explosions. And The Doctor, who goes on an Equestrian adventure with his worthless companion, Mister Spock. Oh, and something about Star Destroyers and Chainsaw-lightsaber hybrids, also.

Expect randomness. And death. With hyper-realistic blood. Do NOT expect "compelling" or "realistic" characters. They don't exist.

Poetry. Poetry about ponies is what I aim to give you. It can be sappy, or it can be sad. It's simply a collection of poems, all unrelated to one another.

Enjoy the stories of kindness, of laughter, and of the secrets that are hidden behind closed doors. Enjoy a view into the lives of the inhabitants of Equestria, in a completely different way!

AN: Any and all criticism is greatly appreciated!

Luna is distraught. She feels that, even after all she's been through, all she's worked for, all she's become, it has been for naught. One night she looks over the fields of the kingdom, her kingdom, and wonders where she stands. It is here she, the Princess of The Night, will do battle with her inner demons once and for all. Will she succeed? Only time, and a lament that comes from her heart, will tell Luna the answer she seeks.

Companion piece to my other poem, The Ballad of Princess Celestia: A Poem

Samael Sundance was always awkward, shy, clumsy, and loveless. But he has a kind heart, and would show it, if only he had more confidence. After twenty-five years of living in fear, Samael one day decides to confess his love to the only pony able to melt his heart: Rarity. Will he find true love? Or will he find something more?

This isn't just a story of wanting to be loved. It is a story of the kindness of strangers, of friendly misunderstanding, of sacrifice, of loyalty to your friends, of realizing your impact on the lives of others, and of the beauty of friendship, and that just because we may not get what we haven't had doesn't mean it will never come. This is the story of the day Samael Sundance's life changed forever.
