What the fuck, 2010?!

Jesus, Where are all these not really new people coming from?

My money is on them all being an army Quaetam somehow managed to assemble.

It's a bit amusing that commentary has been directed at my appearance rather than my poem... why don't we shift the thread back to what it's meant to be? Looking forward to seeing more poetry.

Yea I didn't like to too much.

[Requiem]

In dreams you come, Your face you show,
Through vengeance brought in heartfelt rage
The answer sung In pain you know,
The bittersweet sorrow of the human age.

Traipsing through these memories
This image does appear
Like some cold cruel or foul disease
Who emulates the name of fear.

Mocked by visions of time past,
Of softly whispered love.
Nothing good could ever last,
No good could rise above.

Thus finally one must retire,
Hope forever gone
With heartbroke memory and desire
I fade into the dawn...

thats really great req. really sad but it flows really well. i especially like the last stanza.

[Warchamp7]

Inspiration has struck


Drifting dreams and waking lights evelop all around
Darkness clear, the stars all thrive with not a single sound
And yet in pitch of blackest depths, so sleeps a wonderous sight
I'll guard the stars for in your eyes the universe shines bright

[Requiem]

I have no idea where I was going with this, so it's kind of going nowhere really, but...


The Shadow walked the field of Sorrow
Clad in Rags, and Faded Dreams,
To take this Chance, He sought to borrow,
But a few small candle beams.

No light was offered for the Shadow,
No kindness to him was ever shown,
So he stole what should have been offered,
No man should die left in the Cold.

The Shadow found the place of hiding,
And there lying buried beneath the ground,
Sifting through the blackened soil
The greatest treasure the Shadow e'er found.

The Book he held was old and worn,
Though the binding still held strong,
One more challenge did await
Before the man could move on.

A single lock of combination
Aged and rusted beyond its years
One last final abomination
To drive the weary Shade to tears.

Each teardrop fell to greet the Tome
And rusted lock in tune,
With each drop fallen, long forgot,
Another chased it to its ruin.

The rusted lock there fell away,
The tears had turned to dust,
Opened wide the book was cast
The air there filled a quiet rush

And as the first words were read,
The Shadow softly began to die,
Bound by Fate's cruel ambition,
Granted one last Lullaby.

"Never remember pain or sorrow,
Live each breath like the wind and rain,
All life ends today, tomorrow,
Only to grow and begin again"

One night I got so bored
And I didnt know what to do
So I drew my literary sword
And wrote a bunch of poo

Admittedly, it was excessive
But we need fun in our lives
And though this seemed unprogressive
At least we aren't beating our wives.

Camilla get over here you bitch *Slaps*

[Warchamp7]

The flow returns, with words of old
The outlet my past would often unfold
It's broken and dissonant, the pattern is gone
The chaos inside is the engine for now
Notions, shrapnel, cohesive fragments
An earthquake in the soul breaks reality

[Warchamp7]

Latent Lucidity

Hoping, hopelessly, for dreams to be reality
One verse, that past unraveled before me
Words left before me in the dead of night
Meant so much more
Than I could ever foolishly dream they might

[JGH27]

Gray Skies

Dark days have come again
My heart again has been broken
I was warned but paid no heed
So now again, my heart must bleed

I was blinded by splendid bliss
Never seeing the damage of a simple kiss
Now I see such real misery
Knowing with me, you shall never be

What is one supposed to do
When the skies no longer appear blue
My soul for you it burns
For you only, my heart it yearns

For your love I'd give you my all
For your happiness I'd rise to the call
So remember everyone keeping score
All is fair in love and war
