So, just about everyone I know has their own thread in AMW, and I decided it was high time I started one of my own. I'm no artist, but I fancy myself to be a bit of a poet. Here's a few by myself:
The Five Seasons
In the cool of these days I lie in the grass and contemplate In a fresh and gentle haze These beautiful breezes of late I long for times to go on forever But alas, they always stay never
Through the days of heat I long for the autumn Through this swelting waves to beat A cold, wet column Like a fresh breath of life To end this heated strife
In these months so gold When fresh joy enchants The colours grow bold With gusts of cool windy rants I fear my life is gone When these perfect days move on
Like a renewal of heart These ages are bathed in white When gone are the times of hurt Here the young are fresh with delight Sweet peace, joy, and love Soon flies away like a dove
Ah, this fifth season It is how I am alive It ends without reason It all too soon doesn't arrive When this season is gone To the afterlife, I move on -------------------
You Live To Die
Men live, men die A pat on the back Beats a poke in the eye This pendulum is out of wack
As life marches on, love might find you If it does, it might stay Or it might sail on with a ship's crew If it's still there, hooray
Soon, tragedy strikes you down Life starts to end, fall to pieces around your ears Those bright lights of love may turn brown If you're lucky, come true will all your fears
Soon pain will come 'round Like a swimmer drown'd You have no will to be alive You impatiently wait for death to arrive
When you see him come over the hill You run to greet him, as a friend Suddenly, to life you have the will But it's too late; come, has the end ----------------------------------
The Long Road As I walk along this road I see many dead on the road I see bodies on the road I see limbs on the road I see heds on the road But never on this road Have I seen love on this road Never once happiness on this road Everything is dead on the Long Road Walk life traversing the Long Road ----------------------------------
I'll add more as the days go on Even though time leaves I'll not be long gone For he that in me truly believes
Okay, so, depression. Good subject for poetic... prose.
Love's Coronach It's been so long I've been down here The past is my prologue I don't want to stay Don't stray close, or near Unless you've come to take me away
It's been so long Into the blue That i've been gone I used to gaze into the view Now, all that's left A broken heart A mind of twisted heft I'm not going to be inert I've got to stand up
I look into the skies And I see no joy Maybe love is so many lies it's all a clever ploy Now I take my revenge I stride boldly out I step on my enemies' bodies Nobody can stop my powerout I walk through the nobodies
First I feel the quiet creeping The fear takes hold Sadness in my heart sleeping Comes out and is of old
I pause, stop, halt.....
.....I notice....
...Love is gone
I smile, death I wink, pain IN your lungs no breath IN your struggling no gain
My soul, my life, my joy I watch them suffer Yes, my pleasures annoy For my wrath tehre's no buffer
To save myself, you I've destroyed Your words are mixed up, unintelligable My hatred not even God can avoid My head spins, I watch you become circumsual It's a headache, it's hell Pain, anger deep in my soul, well Back: now Forth goes the Legion
Now I'm back for more My presence the most patient abhore But the devils do me adore Angel's heads my wall's decor I move my feet, sinister gyrations I dance the waltz of Death I tempt Wrath's endless frustrations I'm going to live soon Mourn for the arrival of my Scourge I dance to Satan's tune And sing love's dirge -----------------------------------
I like Loves Coronach, its dark in a way that riveted me. I also like how you step out of the box of traditional meter and rhyme in your poem, One Day, and gave it a broken rhythm. It really drives the whole think home. Keep it up, these are good. Only problems I see are occasional misspellings, like
Marching across dunes of gold These Dark Crusaders undermine peace As a shadow spreads bold They darken the dawn horizons
The Dark Crusaders spill blood across the field Once peaceful sand, disturbed by the wind Now live only those who weapons' wield Those peaceful here meet their end
Across the plains, these Shadow Knights ride Gold to dust, stone to sand, life to death, light to dark Through burning towns these Swarthy Chevaliers stride Wreaking doom and hell through the night so stark Over rotting corpses do these phantoms glide
The desert mourns for souls lost, Hell's gate hangs open The dunes flow into its teeth, dead bodies on dirt choken HellRaiders, demons of the deepist pit of hades cackle The greatest heroes fall, gurgling horribly awoken Here Hercules rests in many a shackle
Dickens' ghostly appearance shatters the Angels' souls No hope is left alive, yet in this defence are there holes The desert summons up legions lost to fight Undead Vagabonds, with bloodwrath their eyes alight Shrieks of the afflicted in a gaggle Wraiths of life and light rampage through Hell Life loses meaning as those in the front lead the straggle Death reigns supreme as death tolls the bell
Now, who the dunes, who the sand, spares the life of a Demon's thousand? -----------------------------------------------------
Okay, so, I've had enough with the depression for now.....
Blanket Land
I walking along the fluffy path Never my shouldser lightly sag I haven't yet seen such as a hint of wrath Everything is soft as a thermal sleeping bag
There's no need for even one warrior It's beyond rare to see a worrier Everything is fine, nobody is a courier The only thing to think about is a blanket furrier ----------------------------------------------------
If and when you die With sorrow so would I But I ain't got nothin' to lose If you ran away, from me I'd spend my life looking for clues Really, I ain't got nothin' to lose
So when my heart is broke I wont really care anymore 'Cause I ain't got nothin', to lose I'll ne'er again on tears choke I never had feelings for you
All I did was a front To hide from boredom's brunt I'm not ashamed to say at all I ain't got nothin', to lose
Anyone who thinks I am, something that I'm not Probably sees a smiling face, and laughter in my eyes But when all's said and done, all my battles have been won I really don't smile alot All I really am, is a storm cloud in a clear, blue, sky
Now you may be surprised, that someone like me Would not have realised, you can live happily Oh, I ain't got nothin', to lose It doesn't matter what I choose It's sometimes win and always lose
When kingdom come, thy will be done, I'm drowning in an ocean There's no help for me, you're wasting your time I'm content in my depression 'Cause really I ain't got nothin', to lose
'Cause I really ain't got nothin', to lose --------------------------------------------------------------
Well, for the Christmas season, a belated Merry Christmas to all you AG-ers :P I'll write something, soon.
It's soon
I've been gone For far too long Now I'm back But spirit I lack I cannot see you Neither you me But I'm so filled with sadness so unhappy Plus one cyber Merry Christmas to all of you!
She's the moon, she's the sun I've never felt this way for anyone I dream of her smile, some kind of magick guile She has my voodoo doll, for her eyes to my knees I fall
She's the goddess of chaos She's the ruler of order For her I'd die without loss For her I'd thoughtlessly murder
She doesn't even know how I feel But to me, it's all too real When she smiles I turn to stone Frozen there, feeling alone
This night I had a dream She and I were walking along a stream Side by side, I tried to please her She smiled at me, I walked so steady for the world, I felt so ready
I wake up, and walk along I turn my head to the east, nobody by my side I feel the darkness come alive I turn my head to the west, still nobody in sight I feel anger in my heart, like a blight I turn my head to the north, and swallow bitter pride
Now I know, though so long ago I was meant to walk alone I keep on top of the pain From crying I've got nothing to gain ------------------------------------
Well, dat is my first even SLIGHTLY romantic song. Enjoy :P
