Tick tock

tattered clock

sit until

hearts stop.

[Lunar Origins]

Wrote a song.

 

 

 

Once my friend,

"until the end"

fond memories

now stolen~

 

This horror

My story

Rises up to

take my mind

I'm afraid

I'll not see you

anymore

 

I can't

seem to get you out of my mind

I can't

forget about you

This breaking tide

of a washed up fool

 

So burden me

Set me free

Save my mind

From Tyranny

but my friend

never leave me

 

Just go

and I'll show

You how much

you really mean

 

A new beginning

brings a new end

but I'll never forget

of my one true friend

 

I'll look ahead

And try to tread

through these feelings of dread

but I know that you'll be fine

in the end

ADE

An Original Rap/Hip-Hop Song

By: The Artist Formally Known as Dark

 

(Took three seconds to come up with the idea, about ten minutes to write.

I have extensively recited the lyrics out loud, so if the syllables sound off, you're doing it wrong.)

---

 

I sen' ade to Haiti 'cause I know dey really need it, son,

I 'on't like my girl when her hair all in dat big-ass bun,

I tell 'er shoot me, baby, I ran and bought this registered gun,

But she 'on't do it, man, 'cause her mom is a damn Christian nun.

 

Man, I got lade last night, and man it felt so really good,

These white boys ain't got courtesy, sellin' red wine up in the hood,

I let 'em go an' I feel so bad, y'know, 'cause I really should,

Have punched them in the face, I hope ya fully understood.

 

I'm rappin' at them concerts drinkin' all them Gatorade,

And Kesha lookin' so sad, she sippin' all up on Haterade,

I see some country gal and she's orderin' lemonade,

Nicki stealin' all them lyrics, she's totally like Powerade.

 

P-Powerade. P-P-P-Powerade.

 

Afrade I was when I saw that nasty bumblebee,

In came Palin, boy, and we all know her stupidity,

She talked to me, I begged her to please leave me be,

Her breasts, man, strectched out as far as the eye cou' see.

 

In my crib, I got sixteen mades up in this bich,

My mama tol' me that my favorite sweata' had been stitched,

I was angry, Lord, in rage I call her a jabroni witch,

I loved that sweata' and now I'm axing fo' a switch.

 

White guys working out and they a' drinkin' Gatorade,

Black guys eyein' them, you know they thinkin' 'bout Haterade,

Pretty girl in the back, she'd like metapho'cal lemonade,

I'm runnin' outta lyrics, hope I don't get Powerade.

 

That Richa'd Dawkin' guy, he can't take no more Gatorade,

And all them Christian folk are sippin' on dat Haterade,

Modern restaurant, they never serve no lemonade,

And if you readin' this you're definitely smokin' some Powerade.

 

P-Powerade. P-P-P-Powerade. (Fade out.)

[Not-so-Radiant Arin]

So I've had this rolling around now, but just don't know what to do with it. Yes, these are song lyrics, so I don't think it qualifies here, but whatever.

 

I love you and you love me, but both of us share the pain

Left alone in this world with nothing to gain

Splitting apart our wounds the same

And setting forth, breaking the pane.

 

Chorus:

 

I see the glint, inside your eyes

They burn with light

But you left me in blight

And too late to say goodbye....

 

Well?

[VWXYZman]

Never Ending Rain

 

by Kristi Maxim

 

You had to go and that is understood.

Things just weren't right here for you.

The feeling you have given me

Has left me alone, standing alone.

I'm almost certain that you can see.

 

During your absence it has given me time

To think of ways I can escape this.

To run away from the pain.

Nothing ever seems to work

It's almost like a never ending rain.

 

With you there and me here standing alone

I worry for the day to come

The day when we are further apart

You won't be there in the coming year,

To help me through things, but you'll be in my heart.

 

There is also a fear of being detached,

Of being separate for so long.

We have progressed through the years.

The times we have shared merely brightened my day

And now all I can do is shed the tears.

 

The hurt that I am feeling right now,

I know that you can feel it inside.

But I want you to remember that once it's through,

You'll always be my big brother,

Someone whom I will forever look up to.

[Lunar Origins]

Glorious is the man that stands idle

Through the temptation of the soul

 

Steadfast is the soul

that breaks the bonds of time

 

Unholy is the time

that takes a mans life.

[Mew 2.0]

Oh, oh, I wanna try!

[spoiler=I am]

I am the man you don't want to be, I am the rain you cannot see,

I am the voice within the tree, I am the wind wild and free.

 

I am the soul who knows no end, I am the spirit you cannot send,

I am a book you must lend,I am a creature to whom you must attend.

I am Der Quizzler

 

the real ending is my name, which I do not wish to share public to you guys (nothing personal), and it goes on a bit longer

 

 

 

eh, eh?

[Agro]

Oh, oh, I wanna try!

[Mew 2.0]

... did NOT see that one coming...

[Agro]

... did NOT see that one coming...

No one ever does.

[Brushfire]

I think I'll post mine here. I don't really expect any sort of response from them- I just write them as they come to me and they are only for my own personal benefit. I'm not bothered if they are "good" or not.

 

[spoiler=Something]

 

Something high above the skies

yet deep below the seas,

Golden and bright,

Cannot foresee the rush of death.

 

Something is not here

yet right next to you,

White and calm,

Cannot foresee the fate of time.

 

Something rushes through your heart

piercing what is no longer there,

Red and broken,

Cannot foresee the fist of pain.

 

It sees nothing but,

Blindness and grey.

It cannot foresee.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Red-eyed Reptile]

 

A red-eyed reptile slithers across,

The cold and wet ground,

Filled with anguish it feels so lost,

As if it's hope had gone.

While it still may survive,

It is still only an icon.

 

Left and abandoned it feels

Only pain and suffering though

It is the one that kills.

And the killer, is the

Only one who feels such pain,

And remorse it will attain.

 

A red-eyed reptile stops

at the sight of it's prey

as it is there on the top

of a perfect rooftop like an

eagle searching for the answer

but closer and closer it edges

until it reaches the end,

But,

 

A red-eyed reptile slithers along,

Dreaming of what it should always have.

No matter what, it will never belong

With the silence slithering along.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Meant to Be]

 

Upon this never-ending day I think it is okay to say that

I look into a mirror and

oh mirror mirror what do I see?

Not myself, no, a mere reflection of something that once was

And it was never meant to be.

 

I see myself through the fire,

Do I see me? No, I see only what is meant to be.

And with a faint brush of fire

I cease to see.

I cease to breathe.

 

I see myself through the abyss and

it is painfully obvious to me that

what I see, is what I see and if I

believe anything else then it is I

who is the fool.

The Devil strikes again.

 

Oh mirror mirror, can you tell me?

What it means to be true

What it means to be real

What it means to be me.

Oh mirror mirror, what can I see?

Not myself, no, nothing more than this

mere reflection of something that was

And it was never meant to be.

 

It was never meant to be.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Wait]

 

Aye, it is true what they say and

I myself was once a boy.

A foolish boy, typically prone to mistakes and

if I do say so I was rather coy.

However, I was no normal boy, no

I was special.

 

My living quarters- top notch,

A cupboard, a bed, and tough luck.

My friends were surely some of the best,

Toy soldiers, a spider and the rest!

This mattered not, of course, even though

the solider had lost his horse,

I had not been so foolish.

 

The day once came, the mail flew in

straight into the bin. The man thwarted

me once again. Bastard.

I heard the crackling of the flame and

yes, he was to blame.

My hopes were lost.

 

Alas the day once came, just the same.

A family holiday, you could say,

but not quite Whitney Bay.

An island far out away stood a small shack,

Or a mansion to that old hack.

The floor was wet, damp, rain seeped in

as the roar of the thunder shook me more.

 

I awoke.

 

THUD.

The room shook, so I took a look as

The door came crashing down.

Stood before me not a mere man but a giant,

was I still dreaming? No.

 

Alas, all these years on I remember that day,

naïve as I was, the man had a lot to say.

Wizard?

The man was clearly mad, deluded.

He swooshed his pink umbrella and sure enough,

Flames enlightened the room.

 

My life was changed by that day, of which I waited

eleven years for. It just goes to show,

Wait, and soon will come, your fate.

 

[Jaime Duferier]

[spoiler=Release]Release yourself from your darkest thoughts

Release your dismay

Release your self, albeit you may become lost

But all the more reason to find yourself, hey

Making your way through life is hard

Looking back is easy

Do not regret what you didn't do

It will only make you queasy

As for the rest, that's your decision

Fulfill your daily needs

Don't let anything stop you

Push you to your knees

Give what you take from life

It's all you can do

When you feel something so strong inside of you

You know you have to let it through

 

 

This is not a good one, I can to a lot better.

[Lunar Origins]

Dark times give birth to darker thoughts~

With the absence of your light, my mind has become blank~

Will you be there for me when I fall?

[KindredTether]

Once upon a time ago, oh what a long time ago

Forgotten by us all forever

Except for a few tiny sparks, hither and thether

That time is of so long ago, when we were all young and fearless

Friends from others times now past

Always we will remember

The times we spent, back in those days

Living in freedom till our hair grew grey

Nowadays while were so old, we lie down and grow bald

Lives soon over we cherish the moments when the thrill of life

Feels renewed again

Loving family, tender hearts

Peace and calm till we depart

(Dedicated to all Grandparents)

FINAL REFLECTION

 

 

Today is a day that I cannot save

From falling behind the path I tried to pave

The hours will pass, the daylight will fade

Trapped in a cage of the mistakes I’ve made.

 

I try to resist, I try to escape

To break free from a cage that I cannot break

I gasp for more time, gasp for more breath

For a final reflection before I am greeted by death.

 

I lie in the wake of the twilight’s gleam

Of shattered hopes and dying dreams

Is this the life I had sought to lead?

Is this the end I deserve to reap?

 

No picture lasts a thousand years

No word lingers for all to hear

No trademark leaves any lasting marks

All will fade and be left in the dark

 

What does it matter what brands I wore?

What does it matter if I was rich or poor?

If I worked at an office or a grocery store?

Are these the things worth living for?

 

Will my actions speak loud and resonate?

Did I truly live life before it was too late?

Will my life be recorded or be remembered

Or simply burn away like a dying ember?

 

I look to the rosebud that blooms today

Delighting in the present while it may

But old time will come and go, a-flying

And the flower will wither, depart, a-dying.

 

I too will soon fade into the earth

As I have been fading since the day of my birth

For we are passing like a gentle wave

Out to the sea, into the grave.

[SilverScreen]

First time doing this, as I'm new here, but hey, why not. These were originally meant to be lyrics (some friends and I are starting a band), but they didn't really fit.

[spoiler=If I was God] If I was God

I would make this work for me

I would plant a million seeds

Watch them blossom into trees

 

I would name my trees the world

Light a match and watch them burn

See a beauty in the smoke stream's turn

 

And in the smoke I'd see

Visions of just you and me

See the people we could be

 

If I was God

There would be no blood to bleed

No sickness or disease

Perfection as far as I could see

 

There would be no hearts to break

No one hiding their true face

A perfect human race

 

No one made in my image

My reflection makes me sick

For this perfection to be true

Everyone would be like you

 

If I was God, I'd have enough

Power to call my own bluff

A narcissist knows no relief

Having no power, I can feel peace

 

[AsianGuy1137]

That was really good! I wonder why it can't work for a song.

[SilverScreen]

Thanks! The only real problem was finding a chorus for it haha.

[Sondance]

[spoiler=Poem one.]

Coming closer

Huddling together for warmth

Breath slowly forming little puffs of air

 

Bright and warm

The flames grow

Dancing in the night sky

Warming Soothing

Coco sweet

marshmallow toppings

 

Shaking shivering

Bundled in layers

Huddling for warmth

 

 

[spoiler=Stop light]

Red lights green

Green lights go

Step on the pedal and watch it soar

 

Green lights go

Watch them leave

Watch them turn the next corner

Try to go but you cant let go

 

Red lights Green

Push the pedal lightly as you go speeding tell you lost it all

Never come back to that stop

Why can’t all lights be green?

 

 

[spoiler=Love?]I

threw my self into the world

Just for you I risked it all

Falling to my death

I scream plummeting to the ground

For you I made a mess of my self

stressed and obsessed

Strung and hung out to dry in the storm of your heart

Screaming out for you to notice me

Touch me Yell at me kill me for all I care

Just look at me of once

Angered and heated I live for you

I die for you

I breath for you just to look at me this once...

 

 

[spoiler=??]Just when I think I have figured you out you spin in a new direction changing all the time never staying in the same spot more than once. Jumping from place to place never stopping never taking a break. Changing your thoughts and the way you move just to cope with your feelings chaos and distrust floating in the wake of every thing you do. Sympathy and and Remorse are tied in aswell. Clouded and dazed you fight for something or some one not sure of what is hapening. Stressed and confused in pain and doubt you strive for living without love and hope.

Yet you force your self away from the world on your own and feeling forever alone.

 

 

[spoiler=Love2]Bruised and Broken clawing for air tied to an anchor falling down. Bubbles pass and I see my past. In agony I scream out, water filling my lungs, choking as I sink lower an lower. Thing’s I’ve done and people I love flicker in my eyes as the salt makes them twitch. I battle the chain wrapped and coiled around my body trying to get free just to breath. Just as I hit the ground your face flashes before my eyes and I cry a single tear and stop struggling with the chain. Drowning in your soul I find my self the way I want to be and feel ever so calm and at peace.

 

[spoiler=Love3]I can’t take that step, right over the Edge into the un-none, With you I will make that jump because having you is enough to get me in the un-none. Pushing and shoving in every witch way we are torn apart but still together. Your right next to me when we dive right into the deep sea of time, taken throughout history you where always mine, and I was yours. In the one instance you became mine and forever part of me. Just in that moment when you thought the words that floated out of your mouth.

[Lunar Origins]

Lemonade in the refrigerator.

My sudden urge is just too much.

I drank the lemonade.

[Lunar Origins]

Double post, but who gives a crap.

Let art flow through your fingers

Your toes, your mind.

Let art flow through your eyes

The grounds, the skies.

Looking into wasted time

Spring marks my return

Burnout cop with not

one thing to lose. Murder case.

...damn you Cards against Humanity...

[Lunar Origins]

I'm sitting in my Wonderland

and things are getting out of hand.

Through this cracked mirror I can see

Fights among my heart's debris.

Woe is the fool who wanders here

for against his will he will lose his dear.

[Yankee]

I've started a little something - sort of a song.

 

Not sure how to continue it...

 

Made it while I was in a sad mood.

 

 

When it began, we held nothing but roses

Now we point our guns from seperate houses

Waiting for the other to fire, the beginning of the end

Fingers on the trigger. Who'll be the first to send?

 

I look away as I clutch, crying as I finally attack

Please forgive me, it's time to act

Memories flash by, our life so bright

My heart stops as I hit my sight.

 

It's begun, the ultimate battle.

All's fair in love and war.

Might we stop before the ground rattles?

I don't wan to miss you anymore.

 

Another bomb drops, our hearts explode

Please tell me, how did our love erode?

 

Idk how to continue it righ tnow...
