Arashi

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.
