The girl

I walked straight past
even though I could see
the girl who was there, staring at me,
the old lady could see her aswell
everyone thought she were crazy, you could tell
the lady turned around to me
she knew of course what I could see
I carried on walking as fast as I could
I'd see her again though
I knew I would

The Long Good-bye

You'll never hear the words
I never got the chance
To say what's in my heart
To have the final dance

The void is never ending
The loss I feel is deep
And silent in my heart
Forever I will keep

In only just one instant
Your life I knew no more
No answers - only questions
What were they fighting for?

So in my heart I keep you
My soul cries for your pain
Leaving me to wonder
Why did you die in vain?

So this long good-bye continues
Eternal in my heart
It will go on forever
So long as we're apart.

My Goddess

There is magic all around me,
A world filled with love,
By the hands of the Goddess,
Who carries me forth in life.

It's a pity some can not see,
The beauty that comes from Her,
She is everywhere,my heart, my soul
And all i have to do, is give in to Her warm embrace.

Yes i have strayed from my path,
And yes i have been blind,
But in my heart i always knew
That She was with me every step of the way.

She takes away my pain, my anger, my everything,
Because She has taught me forgiveness,
Towards myself, and towards others,
She has finally set this angel free.

She speaks the words i dare not speak,
She loves, when i am to afraid to love,
And when i'm afraid in the dark, of things i can not see,
I fear no longer, because She is with me.

She is in everything, if you truly seek,
With a heart thats pure and true,
She will come to you, in her own way,
A tree, a rock, or maybe even a friend.

So open up your heart,
Because only then you can really open up your eyes,
To see that in this world,
Nothing really dies.


Haunted

Things haunt my mind,
the cuts are deep.
They are hidden and confined,
wishing for eternal sleep.

I do weep late at night,
lonely in my bed.
Working against the tears so bright,
thinking of what I never had.

Will I ever or will I never,
be freed from the chain I wear.
Burning up in this fever,
is this all I can bare?

My mind is deeply frozen,
looking at my deadly sin.
I'm of this lovely coven,
searching for the magic within.



Ode to the Loneliness

O bitter sorrow I meet upon thy face,
can I see we do meet again in grace?
I can not bare to look at you once more,
did I came back to your bitter lure?
I can see thy face filled with sorrow,
can it be there’s no tomorrow?
I look at you with an unpleasant thought,
is it worth the battle’s I have fought?
The battles against the pain I have so deep,
is it because of the memories I keep ?
There are many things I want to hold dear,
do I have to let go of them now and here?
I am the one which will hold you dearer,
do I look beautiful to you in this mirror?
I look into thy watery eyes and wonder,
is there nothing more than this self destroying thunder?
When I look at you a only see hate,
am I bound to go down with your fate?
This loneliness in which I’m living in now,
is this the thing for which I’m bound to humbly bow?
There can not be a chance for saying goodbye,
do I have to stare it right into his eye?
There is only loneliness for me to be,
or am I to eager for love to see?
This so non-perfect world I am living in filled with frustration,
can it be that all this is just a part of my imagination?
All of my thought that haunt my mind,
is their really love for my to find?


An Angel's Kisses

Your angel kisses deep in the night.
You have shown me the light.
Have given me what I so long longed for.
And opened my hearts door.

Your angel kisses fill my hunger for love.
You set me free like a turtledove.
You have freed me from my past.
You are now my future, hoping it forever lasts.

Your angel kisses are so tender and sweet.
I will follow you wherever you may lead.
With you I will never again feel fear.
I will forever hold you dear.

Your angel kisses keep me fed.
Now I no longer feel cold and dead.
You made my heart beat once again.
Though I thought it would never can.


Mirror Mirror on the Wall

When i look into thy eyes
I see hate
When i look into thy eyes
I see sadness
But when i look into your eyes
I mostly find a lonely gaze
I see a illuminated wold
Filled with only cold
The cold you can not longer feel
because it has lost its heart
a heart frozen by the hate that others carry
As well as the pain that is hidden deep within
Tho now i realize, i merely looking into a mirror,
I see and feel myself
Driven only by anger towards myself
The mirror scattered
Because i broke it with my bare wrist
I can no longer look at myself
I hate myself, and i do no longer seek life
there are sharp pieces all around me
thousands of pieces
they represent my life
once so confined, now so bitter
I lie down in the sharp pieces of glass
Yet i still can not feel a thing
no pain, no burning pain
Because nothing can comprehend the pain inside of me
By a heart that was lost in a dark past


The arms of an Angel

In my dreams I lie, lie down in the arms of an angel
Your imaginary warm embrace
A tender kiss of the heart
I loved you from the start
Angels sigh
Wrapped in your gaze of light
I wish to no longer see
Those shadows that once held me
In a firm grip of never ending pain
Oh my heart longs for you again
But only in dreams I see your face
The touch of an angels grace
Your soft voice whispers in my ears
Sweet words like the songs of siren virgins
Making me long, making me urging
Oh only your sight makes me burst in tears
A gentle stroke, light as a feather
As sunshine in the cold bare weather
Your angel wings touching my bare skin
Making me rejoice deep within
Like a breeze on a hot summers night
Yes you are my angel of light
Enjoying every moment of you in my sight
For love I do find in those glazy eyes
For you I drop my masquerade's disguise
Feeding on your spring of everlasting love so dear
Oh yes I do intensely desire for you to be near
But my angel of love and lust
I know that my dreams once shall come true
That I can hold you in my arms, caress you, in perfect trust
Oh , I lack of words, when I want to tell how much love you


Difference


I know I look different
I know I am different
But you don’t seem to care
Cause you, are me
And I must
Change for you now
Cause that’s how much I care
And you don’t leave me there
Alone on the streets
Afraid of the darkness
I run away
But all you do is stay
So that’s why I love you today
You’ll never be in my way
Forever I’ll stay
Because you love me
Love me
Love me
Hold your body close to mine
They say I’ve got no spine
But you know I’m different
I’m different
That’s why I love you



Thoughts

Think of me as a confused person
Living in this world so mixed up
Creating a place I can call mine
My safe heaven, my place where no one can hurt me
Some people call me nuts or chitzo
Some people hate me ‘cause I’m different
Different than people want me to be
Some people hate me ‘cause of the way I act or move
All the people…out there to get me
They’re not gonna get me
They’re not gonna hurt me
I’m not gonna hurt me for them
I will be happy someday
Someone loves me one day
One day people won’t hate me
And on that one day….
I will find my peace.

Though it seems this thread's been inactive for a while, I suppose no one would mind me throwing in a little something of my own...

And We Feel its Sorrow

Winter's grasp holds tightly
As we are buffeted by the freezing wind
Tearing at our very souls

Yet it feels our sorrow

The warmth is beginning to leave us
As Winter imprisons us in its frigid embrace
Its clouds gather above our heads

Yet it feels our sorrow

We are nearly swept away by the wind
And the snow is beginning to fall
Desperation begins to overwhelm us

Yet it feels our sorrow

But then we see the Sun

The ice is melting
But Winter's frozen tears
Continue to fall around us

And we feel its sorrow

This is based on the Marion Zimmer Bradley version of Beltane [where Morrigan and Arthur are possessed by the Goddess & Horned God to mate], if it isn't a correct one. I'm still learning about the traditions here, so please don't get mad if this isn't politically correct. I also just whipped this up a couple of hours ago, so I apologize for any [severe] errors in rhyme scheme/meter/etc.

A Mistake

’Twas the eve of the Beltane fires,
When we are filled with divine desires,
That the God was in you; the Goddess in me,
And we made love under a willow tree.

Amidst the deceiving glow of firelight,
I could hardly even trust my own sight.
And yet I saw you, your handsome face—
You became all that mattered in this place.

The horns on your head said you played a role,
And so I was called to you, body and soul.
With the God in you, and the Goddess in me,
We both made love under a willow tree.

Yet something happened that holy night,
Something, I knew, did not feel quite right.
The others have done this and all walked away,
But I still longed for you, night and day.

In the years hence, I have raised our child, so strong,
Yet I still feel as though something went wrong,
For though the God was in you; the Goddess in me,
We still fell in love ’neath that willow tree.

My work is posted as a new topic. It is called Magickal Night. I would appreciate some feedback on it if you would be so kind. Thankyou and Blessed Be.  

[Beautiful Propaganda]

Okay, I wrote this about Samhain:

Candles and fall's leaves
Decorate the altar
For this time of endings
Starting today,
Old ties are gone
Memories are replaced
And they give way
To a new beginning

*~***~*

This one's just...there:
I'll
never forget the fires,
blazing bright
Always
skittish and untrusting
after that little incident
Be
unafraid, you said.
Yeah, right.

Afraid
seems to be
all I think of these days.

Thanks
for the look at real life, but
did I have to be so young?

To
many things sever my
trust in others, always.

You
though, I may never
have trusted, deep down.
*~***~*
The last one's from personal experience  

[IceQueenMizore]

Who am I?

Who am I?
am I the destroyer of lives,
or the healer?
am I the one who attacks,
or the one guards?
am I the one who sneers,
or the one who smiles?
am I a demon,
or an angel?



Lost


which of these paths are mine,
I do not know.
I stand before a fork in the way,
many roads lie ahead.
Which is mine?
Is there one for me?
How do I chose?
Should I please others,
or self-indulge?
The longer I wait,
the more I waste.
Only one question,
so simple,
so hard,
Where to go?  

[Teh Bloody Princess]

Set a seal upon my heart...

First poem post ever....
It doesn't really have a name I just wrote it one day

Do you see me? Do you know I'm there?
That I'm intrigued by you and that I care?
I watch you from the sidelines,
Knowing you'll never want "us" to be.
But I may be falling for you and its killing me!

Do you notice me? Do you see my true self?
Do you think I'm pretty? Or that I'm smart?
Do you mind the "age thing"? Do you mind my fear?
Do you know that I would never break your heart?

I'd treat you like a king, you'd be everything to me.
You already are but you refuse to see.
That your talented and smart.
And since the day we met you've had my heart.

But I'm not worth it and your clueless.
No matter how much I want to-I could never do this.
Tell you how I feel and how I want to try,
Tell you how that your the apple of my eye.

But I'll wait and I'll just be "the friend".
All because I want you to be happy in the end.

...love is as strong as death.

 

[Talesofbiro]

Queen of Delusion


Here's the beginning of a tale
For the deluded minds of this world
Striving to be at the top
Pushing others down to retain the wealth
Their false hope of prosperity
Waiting for them at the top
How foolish the rats have become
To hold on to such barbaric dreams
Their Queen has told her people of the cold truth
Happiness will never be gained without sacrifice
Clawing to the top doesn't mean life will be easier
A prize must be protected
Less should it crumble before your eyes
Laziness is the culprit to poverty
"Will you give in to it?
Just for a small taste of prosperity?"
Their Queen asked as she stood before them.
Before a soul could be swayed by the Queens' words
The mist of delusion settled upon the people
As a Preacher spread his lies.
He talked of happiness without hard work
Spoke of life without sacrifice
Like little children the people easily held on to such a false Utopia
The people became appalled by the Queen
Believing she'd take their good lives away
The Queen wept as her people turned their backs on her
The Preacher even spoke his soft poisonous words to the Queen
His calming lullaby made the truth difficult to follow
It was time to decide
Should she keep to the light of truth
Even though the light may burn
Or stay hidden in the shadows of lies?
"What is your decision?"
The Preacher asked with a cold sneer.
The Queen watched his cruel eyes.
Her voice ringing with clear determination
"I will believe the painful truth,
Instead of a comforting lie."
She had escaped destructions grasp
Now with a new purpose
The Queen looks to her people
Guiding them back to find the truth that is reality
If they should choose to stay in their world of lies
The Queen will give up her crown
She refuses to be Queen of Delusion
Here the tale closes
But does not end
For it is your choice
To decide what becomes of this world
That is for the deluded minds  

[Azfarel Whitemoon]

This is a work in progress... mind you I`m not still fully convinced of it and I`d really like to get some perspective... and tittle suggestions... by the way this one is in the arena to so be sure to vote XD

* Moon hunt me down
and call to arms your starry knights,
Raise the alarm on forest paths
fill the coves, raise the tides.

Bring forth silver lights
and heed the white wolfs howl,
Hear the Satyr music play,
Banshees scream and Devils prey.

Move Flora and Faun
to unveil my run,
Raise dust and leaves
to find in trail my blood.

Shout a call heard by all
pierce dead of night
and searing cold

Pray find me
in the midst of thick fog,
play the war drums
clear the bog.

Hunt me down
come sate your rage
fell me and condemn me
to a silver cage

Use your every breath
in the heart of battle`s lust
I`ll stand fast, your heart in hand,
mine`s with armor`s rust.

Older poems of mine back when I very, very lost. Please forgive the culture rape in there since it was before I had a religion I could claim to be apart of.

Soul

How does one make a soul?
All the ingredients will not fit in anyone's bowl.
First you need a broken father,
If this is first, it's easy to see why one wouldn't bother.
But that's not all, one also needs a fallen mother,
Onward with this recipe, we must go fu'ther.
Fermented with disease and anger
This one must also fall with you thinking she's ganger.
One must also study the Summer Lands
All shapes – All forms – All hands.
The list continues; the caster needs a sister -
Not just any will do, Mister.
She must have hatred, to the point of losing her own soul.
Closer we come to our goal.
The last ingredients are quite surprising,
With all this familial unsurprising.
The next part is love
Totally unconditional and above
Finally we need trust,
In one's self and in people - a must.
We now filled this body, gorged -
The soul, we have forged.
I did not learn this formula directly,
Only a monster would try this manually.
I benefited from its results
Though I can never replace what was spent.
-------------------------

Scorpio

Scorpio, Scorpio, why so cold?
Isn’t it your nature to be bold?
When no one’s there you bide.
But people come, you run and hide.
You walk like a corpse,
But you’re not of course.
Full of energy and life,
Your secrets are impressive, quite.
Depressed by your wrongs,
Ringing in your head like gongs.
Fifth of a century, a journey gone,
You travel further, while others yawn.
Longer still you have to go,
Everyone leaves some cadavers, no?
What is gained comes from loss,
Everything has its cost.
Human it is to err,
So let it all to the air.
Learning to be true
Is not accepted within the ewe.
But why is this so,
Easy, Shepherds don't want to go.
When shepherds rise,
New power makes flocks divide.
So mope no more, child of stars,
Confine you not, with any bars.
The only thing - holding you down,
Is the warden of your mind.
----------------------------

Secret Knowledge

How easy it is to hate
The woman I call Ceres.
Who left me as bait
As I was dragged down to Hades.
How long I spent I do not know.
But it must be longer than Persephone
But you -- how can you say “No,”
When you never heard this Dark Symphony.
I lived there yet I was not a Shade,
I was innocent but was convicted,
Every task I obeyed.
I followed every order with conviction.
Then Ceres came and took my place
But how dare she take her leave,
And I know not if she got two or ace.
Despite my hatred, I'm forced to grieve.
I now have knowledge that the gods would give
Any part of their kingdom to possess
Yet I would do anything to forget.  

[Miharu Starfang]

IN THE DARKNESS

In darkness we stay
forever in night
wondering and looking
searching for light

In darkness we hide
we wonder and wait
with friends all around
all gathered by fate

In darkness we hope
for when the light reigns
for when we are free
for the cease of our pains

In darkness we stay
we yearn for its end
until we realize what light is
the light is our friends

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FOREVER ALONE

Where were you when I needed you
When you left me all alone
When the lights seemed to fade
When it seemed like I had no home

Where were you when I fell
When I desired a hand
When I needed to stand
and when I finally left these lands

Where were you when I thrived
When I had a success and
When I finally stood
When I realised that I could

You are not here now
You were not here then
But I cant help but wonder
Where were you way back when?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EVIL ELVES

There is a place high in the mountains
full of trees that survived
where you can breath the air
and still stay alive

No one goes there
No one visists
For everyone fears the little midgets

They are known as elves
they are mischievious and sneaky
I suggest if you see one
you dont take a peaky

They bite things you see
then take flight into the trees
trust me I know
for one took my nose

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THOSE WE LOST

By blood we live
By blood we die
Here where we were born
Under the nights sky

Raised by the river
Held by the mountain
Trained by our brothers
Protected and out of sight

Wounded we fell
Shrill we cried
and soon we died

When we rose we rose mighty
When we fought we fought hard and
As we live we live proud

By the moon light we grieve those lost
By blood we live

By the moon light we cry
By blood we die

 

[surukio]

Yes its kinda dark, i think thats an on going theme for me lol


Love is Dead



The love is dead

It has died and gone

Never forget

That nothing is wrong


Count the petals one by one

Love off, love on

That’s all you can depend upon


Crush the dream embrace the cold

In the end that all you hold

Tear apart the flower oh so bold

Hear the screams the tales they told


The fallen petals bleed and die

And all you do is let out a sigh

Ignore their cries suffering and sad

All of this means that nothing is bad


The flowers lie

Petals betray

Lying pleading their case abrupt

Do not listen to their tales corrupt

Talk of love and fairy tales

Lies of lust their words portrayal


The love is dead

It has died and gone

Never forget

That nothing is wrong


Rip up the plant

And bleed it dry

Now is the time

To love or die
