Rose

Lovely red petals
Swaying in the wind
How delicate you are
How delicious you will be
Reaching up high
Towards the sky
Hope you'll be
My lovely red Rose

Orpheus the Dark - June 12, 2008 08:33 PM (GMT)
Oh yeah, time to bust out some of my old ones.

Screaming at the Storm

Running across the rooftops
Mud mixing with blood
Splattered over my cloths
Rain falling
Teardrops of the sky
Landing on my head
Making my cloths stick to my lean frame
My blackened eyes,
Full of hatred
Anger
Sadness
Grief
Above my head
The storms howls
Mocking my rage
Ridiculing my agony
Making my grief
Seem like a pitiful thing
I skid across to a stop
Across the rain soaked shingles
Throwing my head back
And scream at the storm
Raging against the rage
Loosing my fury on this world
I'm tired of being alone

Wanderlust

First Installment

Taking off

--



Our breaths frost the air in front of us

As we stand outside on this chilly

October morning

With confident smiles on our faces

I rev the engine

Beneath us

The bike roars to life

An old Harley

Our bags on the sides

An unexpected trip

To no destination in particular

Wanderlust

Gripping our hearts

As we pull away from the driveway

Leaving our home

Locked and closed

Awaiting our return

But will we return?

Neither of us know

What we do know is

That as we drive out of our

Small suburban neighborhood

The dawn painting the sky above

A breathtaking panorama

Of gold, pink

Purple and black

Red streaks and yellow stripes

As we race underneath

This painting of colors astounding

Your arms wrapped around my waist

Head resting on my back

Both of us smiling in our carefree way

We know that this trip

Will be one

That we will remember

Forever

This trip to sate

Our never ending

Wanderlust.

My Favorite, Candle In The Dark

Deep in the darkness
A single light burns
Flickering faintly
Calling the moths to it
A slight wind picks up
And the light flutters
Casting shadows
Over the things
No one should see
These shadows dance
A wild flow
Of myths and legends
A story unto themselves
A History no one
Can ever know
These shadows
Flicker over the small boy
Who watches the candle
Burn brightly
The light reflects out of deep eyes
Eyes that have seen too much
His sadness is great
But as he stares into that little flame
His troubles go away
The wind picks up
Tousling the boys dark hair
He moves his hand to get it out of his eyes
And when he can see again
There is a woman next to the candle
Calling out his name
Calling for him
To come home
Back to the family
That isn't his family
But loves him
Just as much
He stands
And runs to his mother
But asks
If he
Can keep the little candle
To keep the darkness away
So he can sleep soundly
Knowing
The family that loves him
And he loves
Is so close
And he knows he
Is safe
For another night

The one I got published in a book, My Emotions Inside

My emotions inside

Dark and conflicting

They circle my heart

Strong and constricting

The truth I cannot reveal

The pain I must conceal

These are the things

Which with I must deal

The struggle inside

The terror I hide

These are things

In which I cannot confide

I deal with these things every day

And for this fight I must pay

The love I cannot give

The sadness with which I live

The anger I must not free

The happiness that hurts me

I search for a way

To find a place to rest

For it is me

My emotions wish to best

I reach out for help

But to this day

No one will pull me

From this eternal fray

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

The Beauty That's Already There

Its all there

Right in front of our eyes

But we can’t see it

The beauty

Of a cliff over the woods

Only reachable

By an old road

My family knew about

I think back

To how you hand felt in mine

The simplicity of that moment

Nothing in the world could have broken it.

A horror movie

With your girlfriend

Who screams

And grabs onto you

Without even

Recognizing it,

Something special about it,

Something you can’t forget

I haven’t.

A wedding

Surrounded by white lace

Silk and satin

Bells ringing

People singing

A moment of perfection

Burnt into your memory.

But people

These days

Fail to recognize

What beauty really is

Trying to hide it

Behind gloss and colors

Turning a look of innocence

Into the visage

Of a clown.

It saddens me

To see this happen

Knowing

But having to stand on the sidelines

And watch it all be ruined

By a material need

So

I stand

Watching

Looking for that beauty

That doesn’t try to hide.

A crowd favorite, Family to Fight For

I hug my little daughter one last time

And go out to the waiting car

To take me off to war.

Just as I start to close the door

My little girl comes out

Holding a necklace in her hand.

"Daddy, take this, so you’re never alone."

She says in that small voice of hers.

I smile, take the necklace, and kiss her on the forehead.

The door closes, and I open the pendent to see

The faces of my loving wife

And my beautiful little girl

Smiling up at me.

Now, I stand on a battlefield

The stench of war flowing in the air around me.

Groans and cries

Sound from the bodies

I'm the last man standing

No one around

But I'm not alone.

In one hand, I hold my gun

In the other, the chain of a necklace is hanging out of my closed fist.

Holding that necklace

I can almost hear their voices.

I lose sight of the world

Of the lone enemy

Coming up behind me.

My reverie is broken

By the feel of cold steel

On the bottom of my neck.

I close my eyes, and squeeze the pendent tighter, thanking God

That he had given me

A family to fight for

Some one at home to protect.

I pray

For a safe passage

Even though I have taken many lives.

There is a single report

And my world goes black.

I see my wife and daughter

Standing with a man from the Army

Listening to the news.

Sadly, the man hands them a packet

And walks out the door.

My wife pulls out the tags I had worn for so long,

And

With trembling hands

Pulls out the necklace.

My daughter looks at it, tears in her eyes.

Then she turns, to look straight at me.

I know she can't see me

But I smile at her

And she smiles back.

I hear her telling Mommy that everything will be all right

That Daddy is watching over them

Because he still has a family

He can fight for.

Apocalyptic-V - June 13, 2008 12:08 AM (GMT)
Note: Yes, majority of these are about the woman I love. You all know who she is. ^_^

(ins) means that it's 'instrumental'. Most of these were meant to be songs.



A Lovers’ Death

Our eyes declare a truce of trust.
This will draw me far away.
And so it’s here, my heart meets you,
Clutching to the silver light,
Here I feel (feel you), and every breath (breath) is true…

(ins)

Even this distance feels so near,
As if you were really here,
Even if it’s my past I fear,
You’ll be the one to rescue me…

(ins)

A clouded dream of a starry night,
Where our love will move the trees,
Voiceless song on our starry night,
Sings of a forbidden trust,
And so it’s there my heart meets you,
Where every breath of ours is true…

(ins)

Let’s sin as much as we can tonight,
Our world is what we make it, forget our loyalties,
Come on, sin with me,
Come on, play a heart,
Sin with me, because tonight we die a lovers death.

(ins)

I’ve never felt my heart beat so fast, this starry night will never end for us.
No words describe this, our breath says everything, we won’t stop ‘till the morning light.
Our star-filled night will never end.

(ins)

Our eyes the colour of insanity (of sin),
Passion burning with intensity,
We know we sin unfaithfully,
But we do so in tranquility,
All for our love so rightfully.

(Background lyrics)

{So let’s live in danger, my little stranger.
I’ll feel your peace.
Give me some danger little stranger.
Heal my disease.}

We have a secret that we let nobody see.
Your loving shadow, it’s been hangin’ over me.
A part of my soul, that I love more each day.
We do the things no-one wants us to do!
Difference from others?
We know this is true!

(ins)

I live a split personality.
The one I feed is the one who gives.
The one I starve is the one who forgives.

(ins)

(background again)
{So why is life so cruel?
Why am I here (not there?!) resigned to be your fool?}

My faith to others is like a cigarette…
It burns up slowly then goes out like that…
Because of him, I can barely trust… (rescue me)
Because of you, it’s starting to fade… (protect me)
I lust for you, trust you like no other… (love me…)
Because of you girl, I can trust again…(my sanctuary…)

{I don’t want to hide…
I don’t wanna be so snide…
Please don’t let me be lied to…
I don’t wanna die… (because of him…)
(It’s like Jekyll & Hyde…)}
So why is life so cruel,
Why am I here (not there?!) resigned to be your fool?}

We have a secret that we let nobody see.
Your loving shadow, it’s been hangin’ over me.
A part of my soul, that I love more each day.
We do the things no-one wants us to do!
Difference from others?
We know this is true!


{So let’s live in danger, my little stranger.
I’ll feel your peace.
Give me some danger little stranger.
Heal my disease.}

So come on, sin with me!
Come on, play a heart!
(Sin with me)
Because tonight… We Die… (A lover’s death…)


-------------------------------------------

Rope of Sand



(ins)

I try now to decide what’s best for me,
Come and go it’s your will but you’re nothing to me now,

(ins)

I don’t understand why you leave, but it’s not for me to know.
Who will know who I am, I’m free to go?
(quick ins in the background)
Where are you now, I don’t really know…
But now you’re just a dream, just to me,
I don’t know why you haunt me,
Please, my ghost, just leave me be…

(long ins)

Fire fuels the weary soul…
Wake the sea of silent souls…
Bloody warrants on the floor…
Now my ghost please stay alone…
Feeling lost my blood runs cold…
And I need you to return now,
Because I can’t make it on my own…

(long ins)

It’s not to live it’s to survive,
My brother I’m tired of being blind,
I’ve passed many years, awaiting a sign,
My traitor I’m tired of being blind,
Now you know you’re my dark side,
My demon I’m tired of being blind…

(long ins)

You’re my sanctuary (my sanctuary) now…
(I wish that I’d sooner woken up)
So please protect me…
(what’s left of me…)
Please
(I wish that I’d never woken up…)
So rescue me… Please protect me…
Now…

(long ins)

Resurrection is a dream…
Why is it that I can’t see…
Now redemption is a dream…
Now my past it strangles me…

(short ins)

(Like Jekyll & Hyde)
Never thought my past could be so snide…
Now please my love look inside…
Save me from the demons in my mind…
(please my ghost leave me a lone)
Now my love please lead me home…

(short quick paced ins)

You’re my sanctuary…
You’re the love of me…
So rescue me…
Please rescue me… (love)
Oh… (what’s left of me… Rescue me… My sanctuary…)

(Long ins)
(Rescue me… My sanctuary…)

The Gambler




I’m the king of Spades,
The Jack of all Trades,
The Wild Card, God knows how scarred,
Wish he could leave me a lone,
Force me to walk along a lonely road,

Same worn out places, same worn out faces.
Can I get away, from all these dark, dark places?
Get me away, bring me down, away from this town,
Feel like I’m drowning inside, Lord, I feel like Hyde.

Sin, lust, wrath, my unfaithful vice,
Just enjoying my life (my desires), rolling such a sinful dice.
I’m the word scrambler,
The high-stakes Gambler,
The Doppelgaenger,
Just a sinning double-walker.

King of Hearts,
Playing all the parts,
In this life-long play
(Lord can’t I get away?)
Do I need to stay?
(Lord let me get away…)

Father I’ll pay for all my sins,
Take care of my next-of-kin,
Lover wrapped in unfaithful skin,
Lord, swear I’ll pay, for all my sins.

Playing Tristan & Isolde,
Feels like I’m getting old,
My breath so cold,
Why wasn’t I told? (Fairytales are so damn bold)

The Jack of all Trades,
Leading all of the Raids,
I’m the Wild Card, God knows how scarred,
Sin, lust, wrath, my unfaithful vice,
Rolling sinful dice,
Enjoying Double-Life,
Just a sinning Double-Walker,
The Doppelgaenger,
Just a word scrambler,
Become a high-stakes Gambler…


----------------------------------


Courage Or Stupidity?



(His faith, his ways, leaves my anger ablaze.
Make him see the sickness, of living love like this…)

Now I don’t know what… To say,
Just want to run… A way,
Stuck inside… A play,
I swear some day… (I’ll run… A way…)
(slow ins)

(Chorus)
And I know when I get there…
I’ll give you everything I can…
I’ve never known what you wanted, from me…
But now I’m yours ‘till the end…
I know you’ll never let me down…
As I wander town to town…
(End Chorus)

Always feel like I wear a crown…
Know you’ll never let me drown…
A new identity, cast upon me…
Nothing I want more than to be free…
Masques are wearing thin…
As live… In forbidden affection…

(And I want him to see…
How sickening love can be…
Oh, can’t he see…
My love, you’ve poisoned me…
Red Thread… You’ve set me free…)

(Fast paced ins)
Spinning this thread, now I can see, you have saved me from the dead,
Stopped me living in dread,
Treacherous waters is what we do tread,
As we meet our lips in the bed…
Now I can rest… My weary head…

Tangled in the sheets,
Take me to the streets of your town,
Please don’t let me down, just meet me on the ground, let’s let out every sound.
We stick like glue,
Now to love me, gimmie a clue,
Don’t think, just do.

Meet me here, on a starry night,
Let’s get out of sight- Give everyone a fright, shut off these god-damn lights.

(Chorus)

Now I don’t want to hide anymore,
Need the tears inside to dry some more,
Run from my ghosts, I’ll try,
You always by my side,

Living forbidden passion and sin,
Living a fairytale that we’re forced in,
Is it courage or stupidity?
As we run fro conformity,
Making new identity,
Loving in serenity,
Courage or Stupidity?
Don’t think, just do, just love me.

(chorus)
(Background: Don’t think just do, just keep loving me, as I keep loving you.)

Lost & Found


Another tear, falls in the snow,
Don’t know what’s lost, yells the crow,
See what’s been done, let it go,
Let it fly, let it be on it’s own.

Moving in silence,
Seeking a resonance,
The tune of a past life,
Cutting through like a knife,
When will it get another chance?
Don’t know what’s lost, yells the crow.

Morals running thin,
Slipping on ice and sleet,
Wearing a grin, clutching new prize,
Running down a busy street, thinking of new disguise,
Don’t know what’s lost, yells the crow.

Another day another dollar gone,
Waiting for the coming dawn,
Staring at every incarnation,
Of any ill-begotten faun,
Don’t know what’s lost,
Always flying a lone,
Don’t know what’s lost.


----------------------------------


Ways of Life



Spirit methinks is beautiful magic covered in dreamy character.

Love, the language of hearts, and the tormentuous envy of humans.

Mind, the glass sitting in the sun, waiting to be cracked or filled.

Soul, a myriad of colours we live to decrypt.

Body, a fragile vessel used to navigate through fears and lies of a concrete jungle.

We’re humans, life is getting hard, as I look to tied up, tattered shoes, twisted twigs and crooked cross, I wonder what the next life brings.


--------------------------

Old Celtic Treason

Walking with caution in a forest of sin,
living the old Celtic Legend.
God defiance, as I take my steps,
reliance on Dante, my blood running cold,
tell me, why do I feel so old?

Separated by location and duty,
loving only in isolation and secrecy,
committing a heresy, living in adultery.
Fighting our demons, we look to each other--
Marcus is flirting, while I am protecting.
What reward have I reaped?
I love in secrecy and mystery,
while he may have gained it without fear.

We both know, Dante has said,
that if Marcus were to discover adulterous ways,
his anger would be brighter than any Irish flame.
Sitting in the shade, I sigh with good reason,
send a cipher by silver steed,
I’ve planted a treacherous seed.
Soon we’ll do a Heretic’s deed.

As you arrive, I feel the gaze of a divine,
Dante chuckling next to me, knows what is to come,
as we sweat, pant, and sigh under traitor’s sun.
Cold night air sweeps past like gentle mist;
we barely feel it, sharing a golden soft kiss.
Flames surrounding us, however tame,
ignite the passion higher, all without shame.
This is our tale of treachery and love,
soft and pure as a snow-white dove,
always so gentle and never frail.
As enduring as gold,
never growing old,
this is our fairytale.
Tristan & Isolde.

Wish For Me.


Why does the distance feel so near?
Why is the matron the one I fear?
And while I’m far away, walking down the lonely road, will you ever heave a sigh, or a wish, for me?

I plan to visit, a warm summer’s day,
Upon arrival I plan to stay,
On that chilling night of my most lustful dreams,
It is only next to you that I will lay.

And while I start packing, to drive down that road, will you look up at the sky and pray for me?
Pray that I’ll be fine, pray that I’ll last the night, for without you how can I even live?
How can I live, how can I breathe, how can I even see while you’re not next to me?
Though it really doesn’t matter, it’s simple my desire, to spoil this decree and solve your hearts mystery.

All I want to do now is travel the world, always by your side straight to the bleeding core.
My dream is to hold you,
My dream is to kiss you,
Maybe a little more as I try to entice you?
Now tell me something girl, what is it you have in store, as we travel down the path of nothing but pure lore.

Why does our distance make us feel so near?
Why is it losing you I deeply fear?
And while I’m far away, walking down this lonely road will you ever breathe a sigh or a wish for me? (Will you ever breathe a sigh or a wish for me?)

Haunted by my past, I just want to lash,
I can feel my sanity slipping away,
And I want to trust you much more than I do, but even if I can not seem to, I still do love you.
Now please, my love, please save me from myself.

Why does the distance feel so near?
Why is losing you what I deeply fear?
And while I’m far away walking down this lonely road, will you ever breathe a sigh or a wish for me?

Never had a name for this one...


Nobody said this love was going to be easy.
Now I see that they were right.

Feeling this envy, I feel so damned queasy, but now I just have to fight.
I may not be able to do all I feel.
But I’ll fight as much as I can for you.
Because I know that when you have a dream like mine, nobody can hold you down,

And I’ll walk with tooth and nail bared straight into your town, fighting any person who feels me unworthy of your love. I will never be dragged down.
Not even a Doppelganger can hold me from you now.
Shaken and battered, I’ll slump into your arms, no matter how much I know the risk of the alarms.

But as I settle my lips against your own, I’ll slip my arms around you like the softest gown. Having my mind on eternity, with you as my love, I’ll put a lustful ecstasy over us like some kind of sinner dove.
And I’ll keep on dreaming,
I’ll keep on dreaming

And I’ll keep on fighting,
I’ll keep on fighting,
Just to hold you, taken, in my arms, and my dearest Meagan I won’t care about alarms.

Because I’ve got a simple dream to hold you in my arms,
Just to say I love you, maybe do more as I try to entice you.
Now you know my envy troubles me, you know I don’t jest. You know I want him to bleed but I can’t help but feed off the thought of him feeling the pain I kneel to.
I’m not sure what’ll happen.

And I know I’ll be afraid.
Can’t help but feel I’m the center of a raid.
I got my mind on eternity, with you as my love.
And I’ll put lust over you and I like a sinner dove.

I’ll want to hold you, here in my arms, and my Red Thread, Meagan, I won’t care about alarms, because I’ll fight for you. I’ll die for you.
Oh, there’s nothing I can do now…
Because I’ve fallen in love with you.


----------

To The Broken God, Hail.

Do I look as broken as I feel?
Mask cracked, now frail,
With skin cold and pale,
Can I love without hindrance or fail?
Are we following the path forbidden, is it the right trail?
Only God can show us the answer, so to him hail.


-------------------------------

Vae Victus


Vae Victus,

Woe to the Conquered,

Dead souls, rotting lives, over which we have sauntered,

Lord knows why distance so cruel,

Battles and inside wars which we can never seem to win,

One battle won, without ever starting,

One battle raging, seven years running.

Vae Victus!

Suffering to the Conquered…

Doppel-Ganger,

Mirror-Image,

My anger burning bright, envy and passion driving the fight.

Vampiric, sleep deprived,

Paralytic, Catatonic,

The worst is the waiting,

I don’t believe it’s gotta be this way,

In this city, I’m suffocating,

I need a way out.

Vae Victus.

Traitor,

Conspirator,

Lover,

Savior,

I am all and I am nothing.

I am hers, and she is mine.

Despite the lies she’s making, her love is mine for the taking!

He’ll easily break like a thousand glass shards,

Lord knows, by now, he has no class.

Vae Victus.

Vindictive,

Sanguine,

I am a Phantasmal Tempest, in his eyes.

The Reaver of her Soul,

Possessing nearly cursed gold,

Loving forbidden passion cold,

Pity, he’ll never know the love she holds,

But she is mine, her soul, her heart, her tainted gold.

Poor him, for the obsession and the lost.

Vae Victus.




A lot huh? ^_^'''

Note: this ones about a cop who lost his best friend...murdered...and is expressing his feelings how he felt during and after the scene...hope you feel them as well...

What happened when you died

I saw you there
Laying still in the dark
Are you asleep? Or awake?
I can't tell
Please be alive
Won't you be?
Please?
But your body is still
I can tell...
You can't hear me...
Your too far for me to reach...
I saw you there
Laying still on the ground
And I cried...
All night long...

xvcrimsajadevx - June 14, 2008 11:09 PM (GMT)
Ok, I was originally goint to submit this here anyways...



The want so strong
To fight is to endure
The need so deep
To withstand is to deny

The bond so great
Heaven cannot bear it
The caring so intense
Hell dare not touch it

The passion that burns
As fiercely as the Fires
The spirit that soars
As high as the Archangel

Two minds
Different, yet the same
Two Souls
Separate, yet as one

As you have given me yours to me
First in friendship, and then in love
My heart is yours - Forever,
Or as long as you may keep it


King Phoenix - June 23, 2008 10:15 AM (GMT)
this is one i thought up that was really dumb, but i think its funny, and a usefull application here

roses are red,
violets are blue,
all my base are belong to you.

Ninetails666 - June 24, 2008 04:04 AM (GMT)
Note: this was suppose to be for something quite different from this but...ill share it anyway....

I'm sorry, my love.

I'm sorry, I do love you,
But it's not you slowly killing me,
It's the world around me,
It's the them, the people,
I looked up at you for support,
It's you keeping me alive,
In this place called home,
You are my love, my friend,
And I don't wish to loose you,
It's no lie,
I want to stay together,
With you,
Forever, my love
I'm sorry...

o.o; Wow that was a lot. Well, anyway, I think I'll post a few.

Red Bull [Gives You Wings]

A world of seven shades of gray,
hiding sunshine's brilliant rays.
Well, I've got something neat and new,
adrenaline painted red, white, and blue.

But do I have the courage to
face all that surely will ensue?
I'll dive in with swallowed pride,
Wade in the ever-changing tide.

Elation at my own expense,
give no thought to consequence.
Just one more sip is all it takes,
Burning myself at the stake.

Ah, the songs those lovely angels sung,
with silver coating every tongue,
they took my hand, they set me free,
Driven by the ecstacy.

But now, I fear there's something wrong,
my ears can't hear their soothing song.
And where's that feeling of delight,
that kept me going through the night?

It's clear to me I was deceived,
my angels turned out to be thieves.
They stole away my innocence,
a long forgotten consequence.

I'll wallow in my own dismay,
paint myself seven shades of gray.
ignore all that is neat and new,
and everything red, white, or blue.

---

Ouroboros

Kill me slowly,
leave me writhing.
Strike again,
when I'm done healing.

Trapped inside
a self dug grave.
A lost soul
No one thought to save

Fuel my
self destructive fire.
Weave me truths
spun from a liar

Stumble, falter
Crash and burn
Come crawling back
I'll never learn

Spread my wings
and learn to fly
Can't truly live
And never die

---

The World is Silent [Remembrance Day poem]

One day, the world's politicians,
were replaced by the morticians,
tending to the fallen soldiers,
wounded beyond recognition.

Listen closely, you will hear,
the sound of strife is coming near.
Fire and smoke will cloud the sky,
but that's the least of all their fears.

Blood with spill, and friends will die,
and some won't get to say good-bye.
But look around, and you will see,
their memory in their family's eyes.

Valiant actions, of valiant men,
who might've been family or friend,
peacekeepers of a war long past,
died in their country's defense.

Our tired eyes are distant,
thus simply, for an instant,
on this day of remembrance,
today, the world is silent.

Boogeyman

He's there in your closet,
he's under your bed.
You know you can't hide,
when it's all in your head.

Bolt all the windows,
and lock all your doors.
He's coming now, slowly,
up through your floorboards.

He's picking us off,
like lambs to the slaughter.
There's no place to hide,
so don't even bother.

Crawl under the covers,
and turn out the light.
Behave yourselves, children,
he's coming tonight.
