This one is called 'Arrogance'

High upon the mountain one man sits
And never traveled down to see the world he admits
And why should he? The world is corrupt
Everyday passes and another story is abrupt
About how people are killed, and city's are burned
What's the point of going down if your screams are never heard?
So he thinks, and he sits all alone on his seat of stone
And he ponders on why no one else has come to his high throne
They are blind, docile, like little born sheep
Frolicking among the prairies where filth and decay creeps.
Don't they see what is down there?
Don't they see it's better to not even care?
And he's to this very day pondering and thinking
For he refuses to think his thoughts are sinking
He is logical, and this superior logic never fails.
Infallible, his train of thought never derails.
He cannot be dissuaded, what is the point of this?
What a wise man, he has seen the world for what it is!
The very essence is evil, and shouldn't even be considered!
Then one girl came, she who had the 'folly' to travel hither.
She came across him, sitting all alone on his seat of stone
And she asked "why not comes with me sir, from this place so prone?
The world is vast, with many places and many delights!"
"Not I." He said "for the world is wicked. I will not go into such blight."
The girl tilted her head, and then she asked
"How do you know this to be true sir? Have you ever left in the past?"
"Didn't you listen to me? Why would I ever leave my place?"
Once again she was puzzled. What does this man refuse to face?
"Sir, if the world is indeed wicked then why are there people still living?
For not all people are evil, and in that many go on believing
What you think sir is a little misguided.
How did you come to be so short sighted?"
The man started, what was she saying?
How can such a little girl be insisting on his not staying?
Why should she care, she is no way attached to him
"Get out little girl, I will not throw away my life on your whim."
And with a sigh, the girl went here way. Such a pity she thought
And the 'logical' man sat there, his ignorance he willingly bought
So goes the story of one man who didn't even see
There was a lot more than what he thought could ever be

Promise me Heaven.

In a land of broken promises, endless dreams that drift,
A place of human rememberance, set upon by an angels kiss,
It seems as though this emptiness has spead too far throughout,
And though we seek that solitude, there is no way out,
Can you promise me heaven where roses bloom and petals scatter on the wind?
Will you give in to the silence and allow love to begin?
Set a ring upon my finger and promise me an embrace?
Because right now life just seems one long endless chase.

I can't keep running through the towns seeing the peoples faces,
It brings too much sorrow to see their eyes, knowing of lifes paces,
Twists and turns of petty fate that tear us all in two,
I found some sort of release when I stumbled over you,
Can you promise me heaven where happiness thrives upon an endless cloud?
Would you shout it from the mountain tops, clear and ringing loud?
Put your arms around me and kiss me on my lips?
You set sail this love in me, you sent forth the ships.

It just seems that this life is empty without you by my side,
I cannot lie and cage my heart, my passion will not hide,
And though these dreams are born of childhood whishes and dreams,
I know now that I could have what I want and understand what it all means.
Can you promise me heaven's fair embrace among the swans and doves?
Will you allow me a seat upon the moon, looking down from high above?
Can you set my wings from on my back and allow me to be free?
Because if you promise me heaven and give it, you are the one for me.

'I am...' Inspired by a certain comic...

I am the Black Mage! I cast the spells that makes the peoples fall down!
I am the White Mage! I cast the spells that makes the peoples not die!
I am the Black Belt! I punch the punches that makes the peoples say "Ouch!"
I am the Red Mage! I twink the stats that makes the dice roll high!
I am the Fighter! I like the swords that makes the monster pieces small!
I am the Thief! I steal the moneys that makes the bank accounts dry!

See? It rhymes and everything!

........ The title is "Determination"

Feelings now, emotions showing through the pretension
Speaking so, crying with woeful and unending tension
I sit there, my life's pain an insignificant thing
Compared to those who has accepted that magical ring
It hurts, for I know not what to do, and then I cry
It was never my problem...why do I even try?
No, I shouldn't think like this, it's not about me
Just painful reality, the rude awakening, I finally see.
How did it happen...why did it happen...what else will come?
Will it go away, will it disappear, and will they be done?
He's sighing
He's crying
It hasn't occurred to me before.
The foolery, the mockery
It was the closing of the door
Bottling it up, keeping it inside
His emotions he was trying to hide
And he still goes on, wanting the best
Going on further, longer than the rest
His is in pain, but he still tries
Determination burning in his eyes
He won't give up
He can't give up
It will not be all in vain
He will cross any obstacles
To be with her again.

Well, it's been requested that I write a poem. Here goes...

It was the first and last time I've seen her smile
Bottle in hand, she was a flawless beauty on a canvas of tile
The pills were her treasure, her escape from her fear
She had always told me that they made her mind clear
I should have been sad, but I knew her pain was gone
Her sorrow and emptiness, she had to deal with it for so long
I knelt down beside her, listening to the rise and fall of her chest
She weakly reached for my hand as she opened her eyes
A single tear rolled down her cheek, she said, "Finally, no more lies."
I lightly kissed each of her delicate finger tips
With a small gasp and a squeeze of my hand, the last breath escaped from her lips

((The whole thing is a metaphor. Don't look at it as a real situation.))

Lycanthrope · 10-27-2004, 07:58 PM

And so the fairy tale ends
A blow against my living hope
that love surmounts all odds
The death of a dream
words that do not speak

--------------------------------

I know you're out there
my shining star
my future love
to find you soon
to prove my worth before the heavens
to ask
to be denied.

Corrupted vibrations pulse through the air
disfigurements of truth
run rampant from hive to hive
media strategy reduced to
shock and awe

*bows low* Thank you Thief with a Glass Hand and Thaurmaturge. I am unworthy of such praise.

BlackMageGirl! · 10-28-2004, 12:17 AM

Heh, sorry to say this but...that's Demon with a Glass Hand, and Thaumaturge.

And for my excuse to post in here

My sister is new
She asked me about rep
And then she got some!

Thief with a Glass Hand

There was this Thief
He had a Glass Hand
...

Didn't really work out for him.

I think he's a car salesman now?
