The Tower

"As promised
after school
one day
I will go
to that tower"

The color of the sky was pale,
like that of an old photograph.
Overlooking the land were clouds
-white overwhelmed with blue and green-
whose edges seemed torn from paper.

It was Autumn then, and the trees
that sparsely lined the railroad stood
bare, but remained captivating-
to those, at least, that noticed them.
Various brown stones filled the gaps
between the wooden beams of the
railroad, which, like a mystery,
vanished into the horizon.

And far off into that distance,
beyond the limits of the train,
rose a tower, slender and white,
that seemed to separate the clouds
and lead to some other world.

Upon one of the endless
iron rails wavered a young girl,
adorned in the habiliments
of Autumn; the tower looming.
From her back hung a violin;
from her soul my soul, and in her
eyes- when she looked in mine- dwelled
the sorrows from feeling alone.

Back then, when we were younger,
it was easy- we made our promise.
But then we parted, and you fell
asleep, and we could only dream.
Back then, on that distant day, we
made a promise we couldn't keep.

This one took me about 20 seconds or less to come up with:

When the heaven comes down
and the world draws it's last breath,
we shall rise as a powerfull force
and defy our demise!


This one also didn't take long to come up with:

Just think about a bird having a wing
or a bee having a sting.
It always comes to you in a whim,
even if it's chances are slim.
Now I've given you an easy example,
so you better not forget to give me a sample.


On another note, revival of the thread...

[asgara]

Drahcir is a scary guy,
Also he's a Troller,
Zera is a rape spy,
and likes to smoke a roller.

Weika is a funny name,
He likes to roll in sand,
Un-Kun ain't in this game,
Cos' he just got banned.

Dura likes to make sigs,
Not the kind you light,
Geo does strange things to pigs,
When no one is in sight.

ZEE is stalking tonight,
Can you guess who it could be?
Teck is exercising for a fight,
But first he has to pee.

Diana is a nice girl,
It's a shame if she doesn't smile,
Gods has a face that'll make you hurl,
Raping all the while.

Booya fears only Pedo-Bear,
He does love his loli,
Naga owns this forum lair,
His Ban-Hammer is called Molly. O_o

Laputa

Their arrival came unnoticed,
so, really, that's all you could do.
Perhaps you were meant to fall from
that airship resting beside the
moon, since in your unconscious descent
you landed softly in my arms.
That morning, beseeched by early
golden light, I played my trumpet
-your reveille of life- then I
told you my name, you told me yours.

With the arrival of evening,
and time pacified, together
we slowly drift through clouds aboard
a pirate ship in the night sky.
I'll spot trouble from my lookout,
and up here the air is so cold.

Late this night, while our crew sleeps in
hammocks, you sneak up to my perch,
quite frightened by your own knowledge,
and there, still among the passive
shifting of enormous blue clouds,
we share a blanket, and calmly
wait for the castle in the sky.

Poisonous Flower

Here in the warm embrace of the flower garden
A dear, sweet lass hums and giggles…
Laughs and skips…
Blooming like a vibrant flower of her own
A lovable smile spreads across her face when she hears the birds chirping
Her silken hair glistens under the rays of the sun

When looking upon her in this flowery scene…
One would describe her as a beautiful girl without a care…
A girl who is sweet and kind
A blooming flower with her face aglow with happiness

When I hear the whispers across town…
Whispers of how wonderful and charming the girl is…
I can’t help but laugh at how little these people know
I laugh at their ignorance

When this sweet flower, as they call her, is in the mansion…
Taking care of old Milady
Those on-lookers have no idea what schemes she has in her “sweet little” mind

They cannot see her bring the old Milady's meal late
And I dare say an elderly woman needs her nourishment on time
They cannot see…
When old Milady is slumbering in her chamber…
This poisonous flower slipping the liquid of death into Milady's tea
For she wishes the old Milady’s “humble” fortune
They cannot see the wicked smile…
When this scheming lethal flower slides into bed,
Waiting to perform the same deeds tomorrow...

You may ask me, how do I know these things?
Well, I would be happy to tell you, dear sir and madam
That delicate lass…
That beautiful girl…
That blooming venomous flower…
Is no one other than my sweet petite sister

And you may also wonder, why do I not do anything to stop her?
Because, dear sir and madam…
Many cannot see how putrid I am as well
And with that I say, good day, dear sir and madam
I shall take your valuables and treasures for my own…
And I pray you that you will learn this lesson…
Always look deeper inside a person in the days to come

Silent Shine

Alone I walk in this field of tall grass and sunflowers....
Its light shines on them, revealing a side not seen in day...
There are colors visible most have not even conceived....
Its light, slowly shines upon me....
Such natural beauty is inspiring....
The night itself is a comforting blanket on my shoulders....
Upon closer inspection, one can notice the stars dancing in the sky....
Such a spectacle is also not seen in day...
It seems the eyes of the universe can themselves be scared of the darkness, so they do all in their power to shine through....
But they can sometimes try past their limits, and die a tragic death....
The farther i walk, the more I notice the silence looming everywhere...
This silence is tranquil yet maddening....
From up above the light can appear to giggle at your existence, not willing to accept you as you live in its world...
Why? Why is it this shine while glorious, is also dark and malevolent....
Hours pass by as I walk in this field of beauty, searching, but for what exactly...
Does the moons light itself hold the key...
Does this light which giggles at my existence hold my answer....
A brilliant thought came to being...
The moonlight was the key, and it was guiding me....
It guided me to a meadow on a hill....
The dark meadow held my answer....
My search had ended, my answer answered, and life once again had meaning...
In the end, though silent and unnoticed, glorious and malevolent, dark and bright, it holds the answer....

I'm not alone

Will you recognize my failures?
The marks on my body recalls the obscured faces.
I know you were right, I’m only losing my will to fight.

Will I escape from my failures?
The eyes keeps exposing me.
The ghosts are desolating me free.

Will you be my guidance?
Because I can’t walk this path alone.
I’m tired of being sick.

Losing my home

I lost my way back home.
Standing on a planet, all by myself. Alone.
We all try to breath but eventually we fail to live.
It all seems like a fucking joke to me.

I'm my own failure, I'm the person far away from the spotlight.
Since when did I become like this? I'm really losing her.
Distance won't take me closer, only my faith to fall further.

Scars don't mean anything, so does the future.
It's the past that keeps me alive, and yet the reason I suffer.

[Billar Sinly]

Lost is the key to humanity, When one falls into the pit, darkness will prevail thee. And as one reaches the light, He will be enveloped by pain. Will one ever know the afterlife? Songs of seperation echoes in my ears. And I know I will follow the same fate. Death to me is just agony for the living but a peace song for the dead. How I will miss you my companion. Die in peace to be a great legend. Wait for me when I come. And we will be away from the enmity of man,forever.
