Good poem, I sense a kinship betwixt you and I...hmm, if you go onto IRC, connect to GalaxyNet and then go to #thepen if you want to talk to us in Realtime Cioden Darkeye Quill-Bearer - The Pen is Mightier than the Sword President of the Peredhil Fan Club Owner of the Reply Raven - Enemy to all those who never post responses Ashaman - WoT - Blitz II Council - The Hunters - Blitz II Leisure Officer - SFV Ultima - Beta

The daemon was wounded by the bullet, but not fatally so, and it whirled and grabbed Seth, lifting him high into the air. "Foolish mortal, your time on this world is done!" he flung Seth at the nearest wall and spun quickly to deflect a mighty blow by Gyrfalcon. Luckily William was in Seth's way and broke his fall, but they both hit the wall hard. At about the same time, Cioden growled and cast out his arms, his eyes squinted shut. "Angel Beam!" he cried, and suddenly a huge beam of light shot from the space between his arms to hammer into the beast's exposed side. The huge black daemon went flying across the room to land heavily against a steel-bound door, breaking it wide open. Cioden and Gyr both bounded through the doorway after it. They stood on a large round stone platform surrounded by a pit on all sides. Below them, huge fires burned. From time to time, the fires would flare up into pillars of flame arcing over the stone platform. Gyr suddenly remembered something and shouted to Cioden "It's the Pen's heating system! We're in the main heating duct!"

I think we've all felt this way before, Tyruun, and you've just put it into raw, unhindered words. Great work, I expect to see more such good stuff from you soon!

Keeping myself afloat on a sea of fear Walking along, nothing seems wrong here I'm seemingly fine, hope keeps me sane Then I relax my guard and fall again Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? My brother's problems all my fault And the worries will never halt When there's nothing to lose and much less to gain Should I put my neck back under the blade? Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? My life's a nightmare without end Every day I wake up and it starts again More fragile than I thought, again I crack But I just keep coming inanely back Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? No escape in sight for one like me 'Cause the sin is much more than skin deep Hold my hand and hold me close But no one will do that to a ghost Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? Take me home and tuck me in Take knives to my tainted skin Peel me open, watch me bleed Pluck me like a dirty weed Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? Nothing's left and it's quite base Sits and slaps me in the face Laughs at my pathetic soul Nothing's a @#%$ bastard troll Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? Where am I going and what do I do? How do I listen and what about you? The answers are evil and questions are lies Alone and forgotten, hear my raw cries Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? A serpent it seems, that's what I am Crawling along, just another sham Once bitten, but always shy of true There's no hope for me, but maybe you Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? I was doing fine but I'm not sure Life disappeared into a blur My soul's too diseased and rotten Like a spill of ink on clean cotton So hear the bell and back away Despair comes ringing this dark day Cioden Darkeye Quill-Bearer - The Pen is Mightier than the Sword President of the Peredhil Fan Club Owner of the Reply Raven - Enemy to all those who never post responses Ashaman - WoT - Blitz II Council - The Hunters - Blitz II Leisure Officer - SFV Ultima - Beta Edited by: Falcon2001 at: 5/18/02 9:59:55 pm

I never learned your name, thief But you stole from me my soul, My luck, my looks, and my life And hid them in some unnamed hole So I'm here to spit at you And take back what is my due Come on out, thief, take a stand Stealing from me you will rue Give It Back! Give me back my life! I don't know when you stole 'em but I don't have any virtues And enough vices for two, So give it back! Give it BACK!

Entranced deeper within my soul My music blared for a one man audience Electronic signals pounding my brain Searching for a meaning hypodermically She walked by, her mask enigma I lit a smile her way and she turned then Returning the grin in comradely turn And went on her way better off And I wonder... Was the smile for me? And I ponder... Is the price worth it to be free? Should I find a girl To be my friend And share our souls Until the end? Was the smile for me?

As William stood there admiring the view, there was a loud thud and some swearing behind him. Turning, he saw Gyrfalcon wander in, his green cloak billowing and rubbing his head where it collided with a stalactite. He turned to Cioden, who was following Gyr to say something, but suddenly his sixth sense tingled and he spun to the left, his sword flashing out of the scabbard. Right where he was standing, a long trail of acid hit the wall and starting hissing as it dissolved the solid rock. William spun, his eyes narrowed and his sword at the ready. In front of him stood a large being wrapped in two huge black wings that slowly unfolded at William watched. The body beneath rippled darkly with muscles underneath a black leathery skin. It's arms were easily as large as tree branches, and they ended in large claws that looked like they could easily slash through solid steel. Venom dripped from discolored fangs set in rows inside the beast's mouth, and it's eyes were green and malevolent, deepset in the creature's head. Two stunted horns grew from the top of it's head and the wings were thick and leathery like a bat's. When it spoke, it's voice struck fear deep into the hearts of all those present, even Cioden, who was at home in the darkness more than the light. "Mwahaha! Your souls are mine, now! I, Yalg, daemon of the abyss, will knock you all down!" The daemon had barely finished it's speech before Gyr had his longbow out and had three arrows spinning toward the daemon. At the same time, William spun his sword back into his side scabbard and pulled Nightshade out of his back scabbard, whispering to it. Cioden grimaced and splayed his fingers out towards the daemon. Black flames leapt from his fingertips to strike the beast, and William leapt forward with Nightshade burning pure white in the dark cavern.

YAY! I love songs, as they're a little different than poems... Great subject line and I can feel the music behind this and the feeling...I dunno, I just love music. Keep up the good work!

This is a song, by the band Flaw, that I feel really relates to me, so I decided to put it here. Comments are encouraged, and if you like this song, get the Mp3, and if you like the mp3, get the CD, please. This band really really rocks the casbah. Long... I've been running away for far too long Afraid of what... Afraid of what I know is soon to come I may not be much of an example right now But I can give you all of the knowledge I know On how to get along in this place Right now all I can say Is that I will do the best that I can To be a good example of man And I know one day that you'll understand You deserve the best that I am You deserve the best that I am... It's so hard... So hard to think about when I was a child So angry at life... I blamed the world for such a long long time But things happen so quickly some people just go I needed answers to heal me, I needed to know how to get by, and now it's my turn to say That I will do the best that I can To be a good example of man And I know one day that you'll understand... That you deserve the best that I am So I've got to do the best that I can To be a good example of man And I know that one day you'll understand You deserve the best that I am, I am, I am THIS IS ALL FOR YOU! You and me against the the world (this is all for you) People always go right in this life Changes always change it That's why I've got to do the best that I can To be a good example of man And I know that one day you'll understand You deserve the best that I am I wait... I will do the best that I can...

Falcon, hearing the sad story, decides to interfere. Hurrying down the road, he bumps into Nyyark and deposits a large wad of cash in his pocket, then runs off. Falcon laughed as he remembered liberally dousing the money with lizard-be-gone.

Deviler - A black mage that uses devils as his primary attack force. He pisses people off, then casts CoS and then waits for them to attack so he can grab counters galore and severely piss off people. Recently this has been toned down a LOT, so Devilers are starting to dissapear. Multi - A multimage, or a person with more than one account on a server. Multi Guild - A guild with X amount of members and some twice that in mages, due to the rampant multi'ing. Classic examples of this are Greek Sentinels and (As far as I know) RWoT. The Hunters - A short-lived, but powerful, coalition devoted entirely to the killing of multimages. Mages from many many different guilds joined, all seeking to destroy all multis. The primary assignment was Greek Sentinels, and we eventually crushed them into little bitty bits. (Shows off his Hunter Council badge proudly) I got 6 kills on that one, myself...heh heh heh. Eventually the coalition fell apart, however, and now it is little more than a good memory. Noob - also known as ||00|3, to those with leet skeelz, these are newbies, or people that are new at the game. Easy pickings when they reach high rankings due to army. Smacked down - commonly used among me and my friends as meaning getting whacked and dropping 1,000+ ranks instantaniously. Going Down - Another term used by me and my friends, this refers to when you oversummon population eating units and then you can't disband them, so they knock you down to 0 population.

Well, I'm not really a fan of ol' Lewis, but I must say I did appreciate Alice in Wonderland...Didn't read the sequel, whatever it was, but oh well.

I looked into the mirror one time And what did I see? A statue, a rock, a man of stone So my friends can rest A man to bring safety to pain A shield against life's painful edge More Sun than man, that's what I saw. I looked into the mirror two times And what did I see? A wretched soul, twisted and torn A sinner and a liar that nobody loves A man without virtues or good in him Unholy and tainted with babies' blood More Devil than man, that's what I saw. I looked into the mirror three times And what did I see? A shining knight with sword at hand A sword called Truth, no less A sword to fight the darkness off And usher in the shining light More Legend than man, that's what I saw. I looked into the mirror four times And what did I see? A writer at heart, a gentle soul A molder of words to display images A master of the written word and the sung With pen and guitar, his destiny free More Muse than man, that's what I saw. I looked into the mirror five times And what did I see? A man of many faces, all of them true A maelstrom of emotion, spinning vividly A strange form blurring in upon itself Nothing more, nothing less, than discord More Chaos than man, that's what I saw. More Sun than man? More Devil than man? More Legend than man? More Muse than man? More Chaos than man? Sun, Devil, Legend, Muse, Chaos... Light, Darkness, Fantasy, Art, and Power, the forces that bind me together...an amalgaram of many things and nothing. Like a collage of voices in a world of the deaf, I have no place but the one I make. Destinyless and alone, my path is my own.

Brian walked into the study of the count, a large man about Brian's size and fit with a large black beard that concealed much of his features, and a large hat that helped out the beard immensely. After shooing away his butler, the count leaned back in his immense chair and laughed. "Well, Brian, I hear that you can deliver me a certain book...one filled with all the secrets that the Might Pen has to offer!" The count wasn't quite right in the head, Brian noticed, but he was willing to make concessions for insanity. "I'll be asking for a wage in return...I'll need the password to your private database." "Out of the question, only I am allowed in there, and my thumbprint is the scanner password." Brian shrugged, leveled a secreted gun at the count, and shot him three times, once in the right lung, once in the heart, and once in the brain. Seconds later, he was moving quickly. Stepping forward, he took off his beard and put it away inside his coat, then he pulled out a bushy black one and fastened it to his face securely. After that he grabbed the count's clothing and put it on, making sure it fit well. Hiding the count's body under the desk, he quickly applied a glove to the count's thumbprint and waited for a few seconds, then pressed a button and slipped it on. Walking out, he motioned for the butler. "John, I'm going to need to go see the database...that scoundrel escaped out the window." The butler nodded and led the way to a large door with a thumbprint scanner. Stepping forward, the fake count pressed his thumb to the scanner, and waited. Seconds later the doors opened, and he stepped through. Once inside, he worked fast. Slipping into the machine, he typed in the locator qualities and quickly found what he was looking for. www.fanfiction.net Brian smiled broadly and tapped the keys that sent it through a dizzying path through the internet straight to a small unobtrusive node labeled PenNet. Smiling to himself, he tapped in a few more commands and then left the building, activating the transporter seconds before the castle exploded. Kay, maybe the real guy wouldn't have blown up the place, but oh well...four weeks of Ranma 1/2 in Anime Club with no 'splodey' bits is starting to wear on me...oh well. And www.fanfiction.net kicks so much butt, it isn't even funny. It rocks ALMOST as much as I do.

Actually, I was going for a more simple-beating-of-myself into a submissive state at which point I could get good and depressed without much of a push. But looking back, I have to say this came out pretty well...even if it didn't come out as peppy as I could have wished. Lots of Macabre...

LOL, nice Wayne's world reference. And even if I don't LIKE the things you say sometimes, Xradion, I appreciate them more than I can say. Sometimes an ounce of criticism is better than a pound of flattery. In fact, that's almost always true.

Good point, but I VERY normally do exactly what you said and tone down on the swearing. When I swear in most of my poems, it's not too much and that's just because that's the way I am, not because I'm aiming for an effect or anything. Personally, I can't stand Limp Bizkit, and I didn't write this poem to sound like them.

The things I do Aren't good enough Neither are the things I say For better or worse I'm drowning slow Never worthy of what I need And I can't take back the things I've said Or do the things I needed to do But I'm always stressed to do the right Even though the wrong thing leads to you. I'm not worthy... Of attention Or the things that I hold dear. I'm not worthy... Of my friends Or the things that I most fear. And it's more than I need All the sacred bindings That wrapped around my heart And keep me small and tame And it's all my fault I live this way But it's for the greater good Chained and broken, though I am Freedom? Never could. I'm not worthy... Of opportunities Or lady luck's kind smile I'm not worthy... Of the praise Or the poems that I create I'm not worthy of all the pain inside Or the hatred that's my fault I'm not worthy of common decency And I know I'll always fall When the world is on your shoulders, Can you see through rosy eyes? My vision is so clouded now By blame that blocks my sight Not handsome enough... Not cool enough... Not fast enough... Not strong enough... Not big enough... Not skinny enough... Not good enough... Not worthy.
