DesertA mercyless sea
of deep and salty water
Died eons ago
A mercyless sea of sand
is its corpse, still whispering:

Weary wanderer,
Rest and die with me.
What else can you do?

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

My AncestorsI stare at my family tree
And begin to wonder about
All the names I can read there
And the people behind

Once they were born
Grew up and got old
I see the years next to the names
Did they witness the historic events?

I know nothing about them
Except for names and dates
I was told they were thralls,
Craftsmen and peasants

But who have they been?
Did they dream of other lives?
Were they artists or rebels at heart?
Or content with the life they had?

Had some been to war?
Or died due to a crime?
Were they strong in faith?
Were they naive or smart?

Had they been good parents
Or toublesome children?
Did they marry out of love

43. DieYour tears glister like drops of dew
On a spider web at dawn
I'm sure mine do the same
Underneath closed eyes
"I'm sorry to
Leave without you."
A faint whisper cries
"I'm glad that you all came."
I press your hands without brawn
Before I leave, bidding my adieu.

Oh you singing chimesOh, you sad sad chimes stop singing
This awful tune of grief
For him the bell tolled and now's ringing
You mourn for my fiancé's thief
He paid for his crime with his life
My gun took his away
The woman I love will be my wife
So sad chimes, sing joyfully today

Oh you mourning chimes do sing on
And I will sing along
For him to grim death's sad melody
The victim of jelousy
My love for him became his doom
By the gun of my groom
Like the smoke his life faded away
Oh, you sad sad chimes sing on today

Oh you sad sad chimes will you fade
Today's a day of joy
Since at dawn two men met at the glade
And dead is who me does cloy

Duet of Ice Goddess and Fire GodYou're back, my husband filled with fire
Oh, my husband, how I feared this day
My husband with never satisfied desire
Know how much I have longed for today
Though you will kill me with your touch
When we're united at last
You I want and avoid so much
After all those centuries that passed

I have returned, my cold hearted wife
Believe me I will not lose you twice
I want to hold you, though it will end my life
My beloved wife with a soul of ice
Though you will kill me with your touch
When we're united at last
You I want and avoid so much
After all those centuries that passed

My husband, my eyes I can't believe
You're here and I

Who I was beforeWhen I was a child
I was not one of the loved girls.
I used to hang around with a bunch of boys.
We did imagine ourselves to be indians, cowboys, scientists, crime fighters and the like.
I was happy.
Still, I always tried to fit in with the others girls. but I realized soon they were phony and I didn't want to be part of their childish intrigues.
But I really wanted a close friend. I tried to be a good friend. But I heard
"you get on my nerves." instead.
I did not realize the cruelty behind this words back then.
I know now because it still haunts me.

Don't get me wrong, I thought I had found a friend and I was really good friends wi

66. SnowPearly white and soft
From the sky fell over night
The world's wedding gown

77. TestamentDear heir, whoever you may be
My testament is what you now see.

You get all my money, do as you please
Save it or spent it mindless with ease
I am deceased, so why should I care
When you are alive and my lawful heir?
You inherit all I owned before I was dead
After the last line of my last will you've read
Even my corpse is now in your hands
Do as you like, I don't have plans.
Everything material, I couln't care less!
It's nice for a living without distress
But now that I'm gone, I have no need
For any of it. Still for one thing I plead:

Remember me, my heir, remember more than my name.
Remember who I was, remember my glory and

A tale of woeLend me your ear for this tale I have to tell
Though I'm not a bard I'll try to tell it well
For your time I offer you of my words many
But it's up to you to believe of them any

I will tell of a man and Brock was his name
He had a strong son who was named just the same
Oh what dreadful tragedy arose from this fact
When the father killing of the son does enact

But let me tell you how the story began
Once upon a time there was a poor young man
He had no family but a heart made of gold
One day he met a woman her body she sold

He loved her despite the fact she was a whore
Still she lied to him about the child she bore
Because she co

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

Of Mermaids And Demon RatsIt was in the middle of the night
When I heard yer call in my sleep
I awoke, found me in silence deep
But I knew ye were waiting in sight.

I sneaked on deck whispering yer name
A splash of the calm sea's yer sign
So I found ye, my friend, fair and fine
We reunited without acclaim.

A borrowed dinghy was launched soon and
"What brings ye here, maid of the sea?"
I wondered happily to met ye
Again, but ye said: "Danger's at hand.

Forgive me to abduct you like this
But the only human you are
Who can free my sister not afar.
Please do not take my actions amiss."

I said: "I won't, my friend. Lead the way."
And away from my home I ro

IThere is a certain word
Overused, too often heard
It's so simple and small
Thinnest of the letters all
Yet it's meaning, what a contrast
The gab between them is so vast
They could not be any less alike
The speaker uses it to strike,
to be the center of everything
It's overused one may think
It's impossible to avoid its use
and also very hard to reduce
And it makes me wonder: "Why
is it so diffucult not to say 'I'?"

TodayToday the lion ate me
He swallowed me in whole
Today old demons found me
And claimed parts of my soul
Today, it was not my day

Today the lion bit me
I fought with all my strength
Today the demons got me
I disputed at length
Today was not my day

Today the lion ate me
To show me he's the king
Today the demons got me
Their poison injecting
Today wasn't my day

Today I left the lion
With a scar I have earned
Today I shed off demons
And gained a lesson learned
Today was my day

Commission - Love's SongDuring my journey through what we call life
The path was filled with sorrow, pain, hurt and strife
But when I saw your sweet smile
from a place so far away
I knew it is worthwile
to carry on until someday

You are my soul mate
You're every wish of mine come true
You are my soul mate
Forever I'll be in love with you

When I close my eyes you are all I see
Wherever you are is where I long to be
Ev'ry single of your tears
Reminds me of morning dew
Though I watched you for years
There is nothing else I can do

You are my soul mate
You're every wish of mine come true
You are my soul mate
Forever I'll be in love with you

I can't to

Can You Stop It?Can you stop the world form turning
It shouldn't go on like this
Prentending nothing happened
When there's somone to be missed
Can you stop the sun from shining
Mocking ev'ry single tear
Pretending nothing happened
While I mourn for someone dear
Can you stop this ship called life
Because someone went overboard
Don't pretend nothing happened
Steer back! Don't let me be ignored
Can you stop time's wheel from spinning
Allowing me for once to cheat?
Prentending nothing happenend
Please, I don't want to be incomplete

GranddadNo words can describe the hurt that resides now within me. It fills a hole of your shape, showing as many facettes as you used to have. But the tears it causes, they aren't the tears of joys you always caused. I miss you. I misss you so much, though you're just gone for a almost two days. We haven#t talked for weeks before you were sent to hospital. We didn't tlak much when I last saw you there. But mostly because I was fighting tears already. I didn't want you to see me cry, not when you were still alive. But when you spoke of your funeral, did you notice me looking away? Did you see I stared out of the window instead of looking at you? Did you wonder why? Or did you know?
I can't name my earliest memory, but I since you're gone, the memories of you come back, even those I thought I have forgotten.
Do you remember your old house? The old farming house with the ancient toilet in the garden. I wonder of the stain at the kitchen ceiling is still there. You enjoyed making the child that I

Hey TrollIsn't it funny?
The moment you decided to appear
Is the one I'm weakest
The things you decided to say
Were ment to bring me down
But I already reached my lowest point
So thank you for the laugh.

Stubborn Survival

by *Diluculi, Jul 25, 2012, 3:01:50 AM
Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Traditional Fixed Forms

Wipe away all of the dirt and blood
With the back of your hand
From your mouth, wipe down the mud
Say, can you get up? Say, can you stand?
Take my hand, I uphold you anytime
The fight was tough
The beating was rough
But here we are, still alive, how sublime

Now, let's see how bad it really is
We have seen better days
There is no doubt about this.
Despite some bruises and scars we'll raise
Yet again, maybe we will never learn
When to give in
When we cannot win
But here we are, and defeat we still spurn

So take my hand, get back on your feet
You didn't die of the pains
Even broken hearts still beat
And pump the red hot blood through our veins
As long as we live it's not over yet
We will go on
Even if we're wrong
Here we are, running down the road ahead

Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Traditional Fixed Forms

I think this poem is strong enough to stand for it's own.

It's dedicated to all of my friends trying to overcome their struggles with life.
I know you are strong/stubborn enough to make it!

Inspired by the first two lines of Flogging Molly's "Paddy's Lament":
^{Wipe the blood from your lip with the flesh of your hand.}

This is a beautiful piece of work. Astoundingly inspiring, well written, forceful yet gentle at the same time, something i would imagine a rough father would console his son with, or something like that. Very very beautiful. Be proud of this
