Poetry for a darkened people....

[obi]

I recently spewed some poems out of my strange head and I thought I'ed share them with you great, great people ;)

Today...

Watch me burn,
Watch me burn,
Watch me burn today,
Help me look up/Stand up/Move up,
Let me fade away.

As the sun sets,
My heart is placed on trial.
Trail by fire/Watch me burn,
In my own denial.

Let me die/As I cry,
These tears deserve no heed.

Everyday,
I wake up,
Yet there is no need.

Truth in lies

Don't you like my artificial light?
Its as bright as the real thing.

Don't you see my artificial truth?
Its as painful as the real thing.

My candle burns brightly,
When my sun sets to darkness,
But it is dwarfed but the power of my moon.

My smiles are full of what you give me,
When I'm all alone my tears surface,
Because my future is calling me too soon.

The Angels circle above
As the Demons dance below,
I am stuck in the middle
And I have nowhere to go.

Eyes and ears

Blinded,
By what I cant see through these eyes.

Condemned,
By how you made me feel that night.

Redeemed,
By all those who stand by my side.

Revived,
By the one that didn't let my hope die.

I'm still walking down the street,
My tattered shoes still on my feet,
The bite of the cold reminds me that I'm alone,
All alone...

I stand up high watching the world go by,
Sun setting, Moon rising.
I watch myself fall down and hit the rocks,
Day ending, Night ending.

My ending.

But I'm still here up so high,
And soon I know my time will die.

Trust in me and fall as well,
I'll send you to the depths of hell,
With me you'll burn till the end of time,
Then ours sins will be paid and our souls can die.

Won't you hold my hand tonight,
Tell me that it'll be alright,
Remind me that I'm never alone,
Even when I have no home.
Remind me that I'm still alive,
Even when my lifes a lie.

A lie to my creators and to myself,
A lie to all those I couldn't trust,
But a lie turned to truth, the life I lead,
And all that left me hopelessly fucked in the head...

Personally, I don't like them, they actually kinda scare me...

[Gerudo]

i can so see these being made into a dark, moody, ambient rock song or something...

excellent work, you demented guy you :thumbsup:

[obi]

Funny you should say that geru, "Today..." is actually based on the tune from "Lostprophets - Handsome Life of Swing"

:D

[Fiyerstorm]

omg so evil.

I love them. I am particularly fond of sad, depressing, and just plain fucked up poetry.

[moocow]

omg, you rock. Can I put you in my pocket and keep you forever?! :D

[Ich]

Is that an obi in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Cool shit.

[obi]

lol! Thank you very much :)

I got two more written down recently...

Silence (Written to tune of "Floods" by Breed77)

Finding the silence is easier, than they say,
We wake up and embrace it, each day.

We close our eyes, it seeps into our minds,
Overflows the evil, and the dark designs.

We find freedom, from within the death of our souls,
We lose all touch, all pain when we give it away.

Can't you see that I'm living, in reality,
Can't you feel that I'm lying, in a pit, never free.

Don't you hear the calls of the demons under my feet?
Don't you hear the calls of the demons below my feet?

When will I wake from a dream-turned-reality,
Open my eyes and see myself, forever free...

Restless

No need to thank me,
Just doing my duty,
Just living my life,
In all its ups and downs.

No need to help me,
No need to care,
Don't think I'm worth it
Your wasting your time to share.

No need for a "please"
No call for a "thank you"
I'll step in when I have to
And fade again when I'm done.

I'll help the sun rise
And I'll help the moon shine,
Then I'll play the vice and verse,
Leave this scene to die.

Don't think you need me,
Who would really need me?
I'm not worth the sun and moon
To cease their light, their shine.

I'll take away the fire,
From your tender skin.
I'll help you shine,
Even if my line draws thin.
I'll fight away the demons,
The ghouls and the ghosts.
I'll bring you to Heaven,
The shores of the White Coast.

I'll fall back and wander my path
In this world as it grows ever harsh...
