Warm Me"The world is big and I am small,
I am short and the world is tall.
The world is cruel and I am hurt,
The world is cold and full of dirt."

The melody of a children's song
Echoed through the empty floor
When the shadow of a former self
Marched towards that certain door.

Behind that door there was a short shelf,
Drawers unlocked by a key
Agile fingers had stolen before.
The lighter was found with glee.

"The world is big and I am small,
The world is too deaf for my call.
The world is cruel and turned away,
The world is cold and has to pay!"

Like ice the darkened walls did glisten
On the floor there was a lake.
The last canister
Frightful MeetingShe ran into the woods alone
Until she reached an ancient stone
A forgotten giant's ashen bone
Overgrown by moss and firs
Where there was the love of hers

But not joy guided her today
Not happiness showed her the way
As rain fell from a sky led gray
Saltwater ran down her face
When she reached their meeting place

Adorned with a ruby red stain
A body awaited her slain
Causing such unbearable pain
Whom she'd given her heart to
Now had his own cut in two

Jelousy, the bitter passion
This cruel scenery did fashion
Where he ended up as ashen
and cold as the stone and sky
Made the loved girl want to die
LimericksMintymintamin:
There was once an american lad
Like a pirate he wanted to clad
So he searched for a crew
But if only he knew
How to board a ship, he'd be glad

Leelu:
A seamstress and a part-time witch
Could fix ev'rything with just one stitch
A man came with his cart:
"Show your impossible art!"
To a star his wagon she did hitch.

The American Realist:
A bard who once came to Beirut
Won all women's heart playing his lute
The other men were upset
And with an Opel Cadet
They ensured the bard is now mute

Radiant Intention:
A poet and hard-working writer
Once pulled up another all-nighter
Then sleep knocked him out
With death's help, no doubt.

RetributionA black stripe covers the sky
A dark storm is approaching fast
Trouble is brewing, danger in delay
Soon deep night will fall during midday
Old quarrels erupt from the past
New hate's born from truths awry

The only light's a red glow
Like of the inky sky a threat
Getting brighter and brighter until
For a short moment, the world stands still
Then the sky is burning crimson red
And burning stars fall like snow

Dies irae dies illa
solvet saeculum in favilla

The world is consumed by fire
Burning winds roll across the lands
The water becomes the blood of dead
On the scorched earth hungry flames do spread
The glaring light shines t
Her LoveI sense there's something wrong despite
She hides sorrow with smiles so bright
And though I try so very hard
Can't lift the burden from her heart
How can his words induce this pain?

And does he notice the hurt he caused her?
And will he hear the words she cannot say?
I think I ought to tell

How will this end for my dear friend?
How will this sad love one day end?
Although the feelings are in place
Tears keep streaming down her face
Which I try to dry in vain

Oh, will we ever from hurting deter?
Oh, how I pray for joy to come one day
For this love to get well
Where Things Went WrongI think I owe you an apology
For the way I acted towards you.
Ignoring my own advice I failed
To follow the rules I made for me.

I still don't know what's wrong with me,
Neither why I took it out on you.
So here I stand and wonder if
We can go back  to how we once were.

"I am sorry for what I did",
These words I can't force out.
Trying to solve a puzzle I can't see
I wonder where things went wrong.
Where things went wrong

Maybe I just wasn't aware of how thin
My usually thick skin had become.
While I went into the swamp of doubts
And depression to help others out.

I've sunken in without noticing
Until it all went so very wro
Modern WitchcraftTell me, how does it work
The invisible date stream?
Why can the touch of a hand
Change so much on screen?

Smoke's strangeness all around
And the haze of a careful flame
The minute hand quietly moves
It is time to strike twelve

One simple movement
Changes meaning at once
Press to start a new world
Unfolding in your hand

Smoke stops, blazes burn
A glowing green light
And the soft beat of drums
Blazing brilliantly in obscurity

A voice resounded
Music starts play
A whole orchestra
Coming from my hand

It is a symphony of color
One which shines as an Aurora
These Spirits begin to dance
Much like that of Borealis Beauty

Anot
We kill angelsWe take the kindness for granted when
We think that we deserve it but then
The angel we owe this to falls finally
We wonder aloud and we wonder why
And over the angel we broke we cry
Still we can't see we caused it initially

It's too easy to make angels fall
While wond'ring "Where are the angels all?"
It's so easy to push them over the edge
By demanding and taking it all, yet
We never give, never repay the debt
Tell me, what excuse do we have to allege?

Oh, leeches we are, vampires feeding
On angels' hearts, don't see they're needing
Kind words once in a while, arms to hold them, too
Why do we not tell them they are precious
I
39. DreamI had a wonderful dream last night
And now I desperately fight
Not to forget anything of it
But I keep loosing bit by bit
I am digging in the desert's sand
try to catch water with my hand
But the more and the harder I try
The faster the water trickles away
With the water the dream does comply
And my memories slowly decay
Forever MoreIt's said true friendship is strong
A tree hundreds of years old
yet I saw a withered leaf falling
And the green begins to fade

Look beyond the withered leaf
See past the fading green  
Look down into the soil  
Where strong roots do grow.

I can hear dry branches cracking
And all the oncoming storms
Black clouds darkening the sky
Are we strong enough to prevail?

Though the branches may crack
As the winds bend them back
Look beyond the darkening clouds
The rays of the sun can be found.

I don't want to lose what we had.  
I don't want to see it die.
But the wind takes the leaves away.
A barren skeleton is what is left.

Murderer!you killed her when you said these words
You killed what's left of her heart
You killed her trust in herself
You killed her trust in love
You killed her will to live
You killed her!
Obituary Of A FriendshipAfter all this time we finally meet again.
I'm excited to hear how you've been, my friend.
But when you start to talk I start to abstain.
While I smile, secretly I wish for this to end.
We're thrown back into a time that ended long ago.
What we had in common does not matter anymore.
Again you want a shoulder so you can have a good cry.
I am diplomatic though I sense this friendship does die.
About all the tragedies that happend to you I shall know
While I cannot tell you why my smile becomes so sore.

I am really sorry that things have come to this.
We used to be good friends but we both have changed.
I treasure what we had, but yo
Collaboration: Ballad Of A FoolIn a cave deep and forgotten long
There's a lake, no light ever reaches its ground.
There lays an ancient sword
Taking no pity from Time's malice
but don't be fooled and don't assume
The weapon lays there by mistake
Time just changed its prison's look.

Around this weapon lay scorching flames
Claiming the lives of foolish adventures
While tainting its walls a crimson maroon
Can you hear the ancient screams
still echoing from wall to wall?
can you hear the whispering
Of souls damned for all eternity?

One day, there came a new fool
He dove into the depths of the lake
And entered the abyss below
Yet water came to a screeching hal
Death is knockingDeath knocks at my door.
I pretend I'm not around,
Hoping he would leave.
But he's just the messenger
For the mourning yet to come

Death keeps on knocking.
There is no way to fool him.
He knows my place well.
No matter where I move to,
He never fails finding me

Death is still knocking.
I give in, open the door.
"It's been quite a while."
He's acting like an old friend
While he tells who died this time.
30. RainIt's this time of year again
When the sky is forever gray
And the muffled light can't tell
If it's already night or still day

It's the time of year again
When the cold rain forever falls
And all the colours of joy
Are taken away by rainy squalls

It's that time of year I hate
When there' s nothing but autumn rain
Tapping on my window and
Making me blue, ev'ry year again

Behind the surface wallsSomewhere is a dark dark dungeon with dark, dark walls. These dark,dark walls form dark, dark hallways and in these dark, dark hallways, there are dark, dark doors. These dark, dark doors are thick and locked. Sometimes even the bolts and locks are locked again. But in the dark, dark nights, you can hear a knocking.
The chains in front of the doos rattle, the dust falls of in thick clouds. The prisoners behind these thick doors, hidden in the dungeon, are dangerous. But the dark, dark dungeon is not the perfect prison, if such things exist at all. In dark, dark night, when the prison gets attacked from elsewhere, when the dark, dark walls seems to be ailing, then some of the dark, dark doors aren't secured well enough. Then, a door of a dark, dark cell openes and reveals a dark, dark shadow heading for the upper floors of the dark, dark dungeon. Heading to where the dungeon is not a dungeon but a world. And then the dark dark shadow taints the world, leaving a dark, dark trace. Flowers
MetamorphosisSomething is wrong, I can sense it.
Something is changing, changing me.
A strange feeling, slowly it swells
And suddenly the world is upside down.
Reaction by others, a mystery.
They act all so strange, but why, why?
I need to get out, out of our world
Suddenly the perfect fit's too small.
Pain, pain, pain, everywhere
Inside, outside, somebody help!
Why, what's going on, why does it hurt?
Help me, end it! End it all!
What's going on? What did you do to me?

Oh, poor thing, I see you there.
Ah, your conversion has begun.
All these changes, all the pain
Blur you senses, cloud your mind.
Hush, hush, don't be scared.
It's only na

A Sea Fight

:icondiluculi:

It followed our way for sev'ral days
Slowly drew closer, hot on our trails
We didn't know 'till Co-Captain Hayes
commanded  to strike all of the sails
Then ev'ry crew mate saw who's behind
A ship of the Navy, but it was maligned
Before they could fire, our cannons spoke
With a loud thunder and a pile of smoke

The cannon ball flew and did not miss
Some hit the masts and others the hull
They fired back but a pity was this
Each of their shots in the end was null
Still they didn't heave to and steered the course
We awaited them with drawn weapons of course
They would never board our ship, our home
But end in a grave beneath the sea's foame

The ships adjoined, we're ready to board
The enemy ship within no time.
"Who kills Chenbeard gets a reward",
The bold navy captain's voice did chime.
We laughed in return: "Try if you can!"
And boarded their ship, a fierce battle began
The soldiers fought bravely, I confess
Still in this battle they had no success

Even their captain did join the fight
Sadly, fallacious pride blinded him
Still he's urging his man despite
The fact that their situation was grim.
"Surrender now or all yer men die!"
Captain Chenbeard warned the stubborn navy guy.
He didn't listen, convinced he could still win.
Even after a blade ran through his skin.

With their leader dead, the soldiers gave in
And finally the battle could end.
Gone were bloodshed and battle's din.
To take prisoners we did not intend
So we let them go, but not for free.
All of their weapons we demanded as fee.
Without resistance they did as they're told
We sailed on, the Sangue-Padre ahold.
