GO DEVILS!!!!

Posted this at once upon a paper forums...

the sun cowers away
as the moon pushes onward
with lightless shadows that guide her
and stars that light her

the sun is no more
and the light angels gone
shadow angels arrive
with their heavenly bodies (stars)

as the nightsinger approaches thine house
as it knocks on thy soul
just try to welcome such a thing
for it is a feeling surely unknown

with a delight that tingles the senses

Chaotic Cavalier of ALSB, protector of the Innocent, slayer of the mad...

Once I was a great man
All-powerful, all-knowing
I was first, I was best
I brought light, I fought darkness
Then I fell, forever
Playing with shadows instead of with light
I fought evil, yet turned into it
Finally I betrayed all I had once stood for
Killing my friends, not my enemies
The others cursed me, took away my power
My body, my knowledge, all I had been
Yet they cursed me to roam, never-dying
Never to have again warmth and light
The others are long dead, yet I still remain
Howling, screaming, trying to reach
Sanctuary, spilling with light and laughter
I must remain outside in the gibbering darkness
Crying and wailing, never silent
I have wandered long, roaming
Never to stop, never to still
Sometimes, when I reach a house
Rattling at the shutters, howling at them
To let me in, to finally allow me
To have light and warmth, to flee the darkness
Someone comes and looks out the window
Seeking the one who is lost in despair
Then I hear them say, destroying me
It's only the wind, I guess
It's only the wind...

Dancing through raindrops without getting wet
Walking through iron as if it were mist
She spins reality from dreams and illusions
She weaves the threads of magic and mundane
Twining the world around her fingers
Like a stone dropped in water, like an arrow through time
Chaos flying behind her, beside her
She makes mountains move, she touches all
Bringing light into darkness and darkness into light
For good or for evil, nothing can stop her
Change comes! Change comes!

Along the faint and overgrown road
Beneath the trees grown huge
There is tombstone, weathered and slanted
Marking a forgotten grave
The inscription is illegible
The tombstone is almost blank
Overgrown with moss and vines
Beneath the tombstone, the one buried there
Long ago, when the trees were yet young
His bones have long crumbled to dust
Nothing to tie him to the world anymore
Nothing to keep him here
Just the tombstone, enduring, alone
A storm grows up, the ancient trees shake
Wind howls in the trees, the sky grows dark
Then crack, lightning spears down from the clouds
Splitting the tombstone in two
From it rises a white, silver mist
A ghost screeches in joy, finally free
The storm passes, all is as before
Save the shattered and broken tombstone
And the spirit once imprisoned there
Is now gone, forever free

Cold alone again. Hanging in my self pitying ruins. Fell from my mountain of happiness and don’t know why. I have everything to be thankful for.

Yet again alone.

Yet again going insane.

Yet again I think to my self.

Cold alone, pondering my self position. To live like a wonder and think like a psycho. My self shield blocks out anything I wish for.

I created my own prison, and can get out of it. All I have is books and thoughts, rely I do on music.

Again I don’t know why. Again I seem so empty when my life is full. Contemplating, comparing. My life to one of another.

Cold alone again. Hanging in my self pitying ruins. Fell from my mountain of happiness and don’t know why. I have everything to be thankful for.

GO DEVILS!!!!

A tree i saw
cut down by moi
is dead and lifeless now.

But once it lived
its love did give
a photosynthesis roar.

That let me breathe
a sigh of relief
at the freshness of our space.

And now you see
how warm i be
because i slew that wood.

On a fire i threw
a cedar shake stew
that turns its old air foul.

Smoky grey haze
a combustible maze
and me choking and coughing all night...

'tis should be a great evening
i am to discover a new world tomorrow
again
and i see, i think, i feel

blank

my whole insides gone
thinking yet nothing pops up
balls swirling around my head
stare, stare, staring

blank

trying to come up with words
different colors different hues
levels of words to captivate the person's desires
and to please him with a new dimension yet all i give him is

blank

this thing ends
seeing anything, nothing ont he horizon
diving into a deep sleep that will awaken tomorrow
and everything else is still

blank

You almost had me? You never had me! You never had your car! It is not about winning by a mile or by an inch, its about winning.

A shadow in the corner of a person's eye
As his last breath leaves his throat
A pool of darkness on the floor
The last thing one sees when ones eyes close forever
The blackened cloud just before the explosion
That strange calm before the arrow hits
Death walks abroad again

The god of hyenas, of vultures, of ravens
The one who follows all of war
The heart, the core of an epidemic
Causer of famine, of starvation, of loss
Death walks abroad again

The darkness in a skull's eyes
The shadow on the ground at noon
The stone that trips the careless foot
A vision seen by troubled minds
Death walks abroad again

Yet also our home, sanctuary
Where all our paths will end
The place where we all meet again
Our destination when the journey is finished
The place to rest, to sleep, to dream
When our life is over, our deeds done
Death shall come again...


Is it just me, or am I feeling a bit depressed lately?

Far, far away, on a forgotten hillside
There waits a spectre, since many years past
A man he once was, but now is no longer
He has dwindled, fading, leaving yet staying
Bodyless, nameless, bound for all time
Watching the place he fell, long, long ago
A forgotten ghost guarding a lost battlefield
Alone, unknown, left behind
Silently howling his pain to the empty sky
A damned soul, never to die, yet dead a long time
Trapped on this world, yet still not quite here
Bound here to protect his undoing
Watching a place nobody knows
Guarding a treasure nobody wants
Worthless, useless, doomed for all time
Eternity, in agony, in anguish
Never to find release from his task
Forever

Ye gods! Page 3! BUMP

Swimming in the endless black sea
Fighting the waves, the current
I battle on, tiring
Caught in a war that never stops
To live is to fight, life is war
Where you do your best until you die
Bravely, courageously, yet choiceless
I fight, I struggle, but then I stop
Why?
Why do I fight, when I lose anyway?
Why do I continue this senseless battle?
Is it not easier to stop, to surrender
To give up, have peace for the first time?
I consider, thinking, while the sea drags me down
I choose darkness, oblivion, not light
I choose death and peace, not life and struggle
As I sink beneath the waves, surrendering
For the first and last time, I smile

When love is dead, and hate is gone
When only bitterness remains
When sun is dark, and stars are clouded
And my heart withers like a weed
Words echoing in emptiness
When color dies, and light is swallowed
Leaving only bleak grayness
When thorns abound and blood drips black
And crimson tears flow unseen
The mirror cracks, the shining walls fall
Pulled to dust by vines of despair
Then meet me on the other side
Where my heart's bleeding stills
And grief and pain are left behind
To fill my heart with joyless song
Then I shall trouble the world no longer

I sit alone, unheard, unknown
I sit in darkness, invisible
I sit and weave, threads like silk
A tapestry covering land and sea
With holes like stars, silver twinkling
Yet too weak to disrupt my work
When all sleeps, and no sound is heard
I sit and weave, in peace, for peace
Threads of darkness, threads of silence
I sit and weave the velvet night
Blackness smothering light and tone
Bringing quiet, sleep, to all
The sky turns gray, ripping threads
Tearing patterns into wisps
The sun rises, coloring all
Destroying my work, awakening all
Tapestry broken, I must retreat
I could not finish, I have lost all
Disheartened, alone, I flee the sun
My nemesis, bringing laughter and tears
Yet when she leaves, slipping into the sea
I shall return, weaving anew
Bringing darkness, alone, to the world sleeping
Weaving the silent unheard song...

They walk the earth like all of us
They laugh and cry, eat and drink
They work and study, unknown to us
Yet inside, their heart bleeds tears
They go to school, they do their jobs
They seem normal, just like us
Yet they do not feel laughter or light
They cry their pain, locked away inside
They are everywhere, you cannot know them
They are with you, with us all
They talk, they laugh and joke with us
Yet inside, they are all alone

Okay, this is the last one for now.

When we walk outside, laughing yet crying
When we talk together, happy yet sad
While we live our lives, alone, busy
Darkness seeping in through cracks in my heart
Wherever you are, whatever you do
Darkness dripping slowly through holes in my mind
Whenever you feel unconfident, depressed
When black things stir the back of your thoughts
Darkness sneaking stealthily into your head
Whatever you do, don't listen to it
Open your heart to the light
Let light banish shadow, and darkness flee
Yet when you are alone again, it will return
Darkness seeking to enter my mind through my tears
