I set this area aside for my friends' work. Some of my friends don't have any webspace
to post their writings or art so I wanted to share.

Superheroes
by David Jacobs
Do you know what it takes
to be a superhero in my world?
How can you tell between what’s fake and real?
I never thought about it too long
But now I’m starting to think about it
I’m really starting to think about it
Have you ever noticed that
the superhero always gets the girl.
I tend to find it different
in the real world.
I never thought about it too long.
I’m really starting to think about it.
Superheroes flying through the sky,
down here they seem to fall and die.
They never need love,
I know I need love.
I never thought about it too long.
I’m really starting to think about it.
Sometimes I wish I had
a superhero standing next to me,
until I realized that
I would never be free.
Farewell my superheroes,
it’s time to meet the real world.

Come here my butterfly
and let me hold you close.
Just want you to know
that I love the way you are.
My Butterfly
When you hold me,
when I feel you touching me,
I know what love is
I caught you and I’m never letting go
My Butterfly
And when we kiss
The angels sing for us
They’re jealous of you
when we hold that embrace
My Butterfly
And should you ever
decide to go back to a caterpillar,
by choice or by fate,
you’ll always be beautiful to me
My butterfly
Come here my butterfly
If fate ever lets you die
Know that I’ll die too
so that we may still fly

Forgotten Hero
by David Jacobs
All the battle gear,
the helmets that brought fear,
glimmering in the moonlight,
as a hero stares at them in the depth of night
Each dent and slash,
a life gone in a flash.
Each stain of red,
another mouth gone unfed
The fields of death are faded,
the bodies long divided.
A tale of sorrow and heroism.
A tale of great plagiarism.
The scenes replaying,
in the warriors mind engraving,
every person, every face
now gone without a trace.
The warrior stared, now old,
standing out in the cold.
Living on in many stories
but wishing he had had no glories.
