Thank you for your kind words. I believe I will make an attempt to write something new each week.

Next to me lies beauty Hair soft as silk Slumbering ever so silently Giving meaning to my existence I hold her close in my arms Kiss her brow gently Allowing the curtains to fall on my world Behind those curtains is lightning and thunder Winds howl and rain soaks my face Looking to the blackened sky I raise my sword and soul in defiance Screams of this world deafen the faint of will Beauty is not there to cure the Shadow's syndrome Taken by the Dark One was Beauty Brought to the top of the Burning Mountain To be a sacrifice for the Dark One's Lust I begin to trek the mountain with great haste Any moment Beauty would be engulfed by the mountain Upon the precipice I stand Sword pointed at the Dark One Beauty held above it's head My enemy turns to face me The Dark One releases Beauty Unsheathing it's blade we charge Lightning cracks as swords cross Thrust, parry, bump, and then scream In our foolish dance of death Beauty was the victim Dropping to my knees the sword falls I scream to the heavens in humiliation The Dark One laughs to my side With unbridled anger I take up the sword and thrust The screams of the Dark One are heard across the land The Burning Mountain erupts Sending Beauty into the blackened sky Within moments she is engulfed by her life's fire Casting out the cure to the shadow's syndrome Tears roll down my cheeks as I look up to Beauty My focus shifts back to the Dark One His true form finally revealed to the world What is seen shakes me to my foundation The Dark One's face is that of a mirror Looking into it's eyes I see only myself I am the one to blame for this worlds suffering My curtains lift to the brightness of the morning sun The dream has ended but Beauty is no longer by my side In her place is a letter penned from the heart It reads "Thank you for saving me and goodbye my love" __________________________________________________________ It's been far too long since I have written anything, aside from the small bit of lyrics when I should be working. I hope this piece is qualified enough to be my re-entry into the Pen's archives. Thank you for reading.

Oops. Thats not supposed to be like that. thank you for pointing that out to me. ;;

I can see the light I can see your face I can see you dying alone in this place 'Cause I feel dumb When you're around 'Cause I can see lying there in the ground 'Cause I can feel the light It's shining in my face I can not reach you there in black space 'Cause everythings my fault When you're not around Can you see me crying here on the ground ______________________________________ Just a little bit o' lyrics from my brain. Been a while since I posted anything. I hope you have been doing well in my absence. I may write more, I need something to take my mind off of the complete idleness that I have been suffering these past few months.

Would you believe it if I said it only took me about 15 minutes to write both of these pieces?

yeah, I think the second one came out better too.

well I sat down last night and wrote these two pieces to see if I still had some skills. decided to go one way and than try to go a different direction. Rythm in the Blues I am now further away from you then I wish Dead thoughts drag on welled in the abyss Kiss the lips of this decaying dream To bring new life into my world unseen Keep these thoughts in the back of your mind I wish to return to you in due time Until we rendezvous, my love I shall not stare at the stars above ____________ Stars Apart Zig-zag down us oh knife of steel As the wheel of time spins closer to the finale Licked with blood from the emotioned sleeve Etching the words that are to painful to read View the world turn on its sickle As you head east and I travle west We part never to be seen again In eachothers arms we bare the scars Of once faught for love One of Goodbye The other Forever Loved ____________________________ So what is the verdict? am I still qualified to write or do I need to pack my things?

Dreams conjured in the dusk Transformed to fearful nightmare Twisted by Morpheus' sick desires Worldlings traveling the earth Violence to the pure of heart Faux love for the masses No faith No hope Just the day to day normalcies In this nightmare called life

::bows deeply:: Thank you all for enjoying my works. as long as you keep reading and liking them I will keep writing.

You shatter hearts like panes of glass And caress our flesh with the shards Kissing our lips with romantic verbiage Only to slap us in the face for our silver tongues Stripping us bare to perform in our dance of copulation Foul temptress of emotions We refuse to allow you to dilute our souls For only fleeting moments of passion The lust you plant into men’s hearts Grow like weeds left untamed Strangling the truest of loves Until they weep, whimper, and then with one final cry Expire. _____ Ya, Loki is right. It does sound better without line 6

* * I just got a hug....I am blushing but also scared...and I think I may try and post a new nugget of poetry today. I had meant to do another draft of this poem but I think I will wait until wyvern can help me out with the punctuation addage.

...wow, this got a lot of replies faster then I thought it would. And even more so is the fact that it got so many. I am excited that I was finally able to produce something pen worthy. Thank you all for replying. I love getting reviews for my work. right now I am very happy with the critisism and the helping with the second draft of this piece. Again, thank you all. All things have been considered and some of them I shall improve upon today. Wyvern, think you can help me with puntuation? >_> I am not too good at puntuating things...as you can see by most of my works.

NOW WITH PUNTUATIONS! Bind my wings in flesh and classify me as human. Give me free will and then censor my actions. Purify my soul with the flames of your justice. Arrest my muse and burn her at the stake. Regale my conscience by saying its all for liberty, As you slowly behead the angels again. Slowly soaking in all of their anguish. Drinking their blood to fuel your greed. Forever moving to the inevitable climax. The end of creation itself, At the very hands that helped create it.

I am glad to be back. And I think I do like it better the way you have it. That line was irking me for a while.

Well, finally, I am back to writing more poems. Recently I have been stretching my artistic creativity really thin by trying to keep up on writing poems, writing a new book entitled "Psychotican, drawing a comic thats in my head(which in turn has me working a lot of the time on trying to devolp my own style, instead of copying others.), my photography class which has me taking pictures AND making a movie to the old slink radio comercial jingle thingy, and trying to get a painting out every now and then for some more things. I will find it amazing if, by the end of all of this, I have sanity left over to function normally in society. When I am done with the first chapter I will post it..... _____________________________ Void Darkness That which fills mine eyes When I think of your mournful face Whisper to me your worries and fears And in the twilight I shall kiss away your tears Listen to the beat of my heart Whilst I hold you tightly in mine arms Oh goddess, beautiful and weeping Give to me your delicate hand and lay with me Let us close our eyes and drift Slowly from the unfamiliar to the ever familiar Darkness *Edited thank to Peredhil*

well I would give her a link except I have no clue on how I would get it to her. that and if she had any sort of feelings for me I would be surprised because she never had feelings for me in the first place. it was pretty one sided and I am nothing more then a love struck loser.

Sometimes I wish I would wake up with brain damage So that I couldn't think about you or remember you Sometimes I wish I woke up paralyzed from the neck down To prevent myself from chasing after you Sometimes I wish I were blind Preventing me from ever seeing you smile Sometimes I wish I was deaf So that I could never hear you laugh Sometimes I wish I was dead So that all the pain in my heart of having you ripped away was no more Sometimes I wish I were mute So that I could never whisper the words that destroy galaxies I....Love....You........ __________------ Kind of repetitive, I know, but it has all of my thoughts and emotion in this poetic piece about someone I really care about that has been lost to me forever due to my own stubborn stupidity. I wish I could tell her how much I care about her and how much she meant to me but I have lost the right to love her. Anyway, I hope someone enjoys this. And for the sake of it all, don't be as much of a stubborn dumbass as I was and tell the one you care about that you care or they too may be stripped away from you.

thank you for the nice reply Gryphon. When I first wrote this poem I thought "blech, this looks horrible." But then I read it a few times and it grew on me. Guess I didn't realize that the message I was trying to get across was just right at the time. Hehe, thank you low self esteem.........hmmmm. That sounds like a good title for a new poem.

Tell me what really mattered to you You who proclaimed love and care Was it me or something less trivial Did you truly mean to say you loved me Or was that a lie to keep me here So that for once in your life you wouldn't feel alone That same feeling that haunts me when I sleep Kisses my cheek when I am awake And slaps my face when I am happy Perchance were you using me Like some old gaming system Waiting until something better and new arrived So you can toss me aside Only to be used again when the new breaks down Used Another one of those feelings I should be used to it by now Time and time again it slashes me Like a knife slide across my flesh Tears of blood spilling into a pool Now a days you press me for answers Asking me why I am so enraged Demanding I play your games Telling me that I know who I am If its so fucking easy then you tell me who I am Because all I know is my own words that I write the picture _______________--- (there was a pic to this but for some reason I can't use it here. I have provided a link to it if you really want to see it)

I refuse to apologize to you For there is nothing for me to feel sorry for Actions performed by me have been justified And shall not be questioned by you Cry not out of frustration or guilt But out of anger of the sins of your flesh I have no guilt for forgetting you Because you had me loving you once Then that shattered And you faltered into the abyss

Penetrate me Enter my mind and look inside Will you find the scared child Or something more Is what you see beautiful Perchance an ugly sinner What you see shall not be judged though For what you view inside me May be a part of you So judge yourself before me

those two maybe my favorite lines too ~_~

Why do we set ourselves up for the heartbreak Leaving ourselves to cry in the twilight Tears to kiss the pillows As we drift off into a downward spiral of sleep Our dreams throwing more bad scenarios in our face Waking the next morning to take one step closer Closer to the edge of forfeiting life Why do we try to make things right Either by drinking it all away Or struggling to make it half way Receiving broken hearts and shattered bones In the end falling behind the ones who drift along Venturing the easy route set apart from their dreams To a place that far too many call "successful" Why do we do this Because we are free We chose to live this way Refusing to take it easy Living for the risk and uncertainty of our dreams And loving every minute of it

Trapped inside your well furbished cage You sit looking out My little Lenore Weeping as darkness falls over your cell Sadly the violin plays as the knife kisses your flesh Dripping away the venom of his touch Throwing the knife down in anger You lick your wounds Tomorrow is another day It may be hell or it may not In the end only you can decide how it goes So make your choice

ya took a long hiatus for a while to recharge my creative batteries. It help quite a bit. I wrote this either while or after I beat Zelda for regular nintendo.
