"nihil verum nisi mors"
translation, "the only truth is the finality of death"
Through blaze orange skies,
endless springtime chills.
I really can't just hide inside,
my broken, shattered mind.
Children of the empty cross,
the fear the wrath of angels.
The sun, the moon, play vicious games,
watch them bleed then watch them die.
Life, it starts to fade away,
the moment you are born.
not afraid, no more fear,
No more boring pain.
A bloodred light, black horizin,
you will die...I'll live again.
Seven seals all been broke,
Seven angels in hatred crawl.
Am i a devil, in your eyes,
my face lost in your eyes.
Now you are gone for good,
from the stars til the darkest night.
Dark Prince lives. LOL How is this.?
Hi DP! Cogito ergo sum
You do not want to hear what I have to say.
You are a genius with words and a natural poet. One thing you're missing, but life is a process, and that is this. You are totally focused on yourself, your problems, your poetry, your world. A lot of people believe that once you have dealt with your own problems, and worked most of them out, you can take the next step and try to reach out to others. Right now, you're doing all the talking. You ask for answers to your questions, but you, at least on the surface, appear unchanged. I do not believe you want constructive criticism. You want affirmation of your worth as an individual, and I don't blame you for this: I need it too. I'm guilty! But look at yourself: indulging once again in yourself in your self-pity and raging at life and raging at the world, as Wm. Faulkner wrote,
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
If this is all you're capable of right now, then I commend you, I praise you, you are a hero to me, because you are a fighter, and this is how far you've gotten.
But you are capable of so much more. But you are in so much pain that you can't think of much else. But like I told you - I've been there, done that - 3 mental hospitals, 15 doctors, 30 different medications - lithium - dalmane - prozac - you name it - I took it - 22 years - a divorce - bankruptcy - $100,000 in medical bills - unable to hold down a job - unable to work - attempted suicide multiple times - almost succeeded. You're not the only one dealing with pain. But you are, nevertheless, totally immersed in yourself. And this is normal and OK. You are OK with me. I like you; I commend you, more. I call you a friend.
You are not the only one in pain, but I cannot objectively measure or quantify the subjective reality of pain, so I cannot judge you. Yet, you are immersed in the cocoon of your own pain. If you ever can see outside of it, you will realize the meaning of your life will only be found when you realize that other people are in pain too, and you are not the center of the universe, merely one person of many millions and billions in pain.
Reach out, my friend, reach out. This is your answer; this is your escape. But you don't want to. You are addicted to the morphine of your self-pity, grand-standing before all the world, and acting the child, the fool, Faulkner's "idiot".
You are none of these things!! But "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." You have been warned. Now the ball is in your court. I love you, my friend. I love you very much. You are my star child.
star child
so far away alone
standing on the edge of the universe
you can't be reached
you can't be played
you can’t be preached
you've traveled so far
you are the only one
you think
the earth lies in wait
your virgin touch
your imagination and faith to burst forth
soon you will emerge
from the cocoon of your pain
alone inside, you will find the way
if you can
and you can
only if you will
my prayer is not for you
though i love you
my prayer is for
the idea of you
who you alone were meant to be
you are one of us forever
come, come near
one of the holy ever dear
you are the lost unknown and unimagined
as of yet
find peace
in a still moment passing
and the universe will dare you
though it has scared you
in your secret/ secret now untied
tell your story star child
you will not happen again
and i love you as you never know
and i pray for you
to pray for me once too
for how do you think it is
i know you so?
i too was once
star child
Reply:Hi there
This poem unfortunately has a real sense of hopelessness about it.
When I read it I feel despair for the Author.
When I read it I feel sad, sad that there is no hope for those that die with out faith and belief.
Is there happiness in knowing that you will live again.
Is there Happiness knowing the seven seals are being broken.
Is there happiness knowing that there are so many who do not know and understand about the seven seals, and living again.
No only a sense of hopelessness
Maybe you could give us one that is a bit more uplifting next time round.........Thanks...........
...............Cheers.................
Reply:ok the poem is just ok to me as far as the dark arts lmao ok jeez no wonder i stopped commenting on these things. And countess Bathory your true love a sick serial killer from like the 1800's who thought bathing in the blood of virgins would keep her looking young you really think she died too young? They sealed her up in a tower in her home because she had issues
I'm sorry but curses do not work
Reply:Interesting but I have heard that before somewhere?
An album cover maybe?
This should depress me and weird me out, but it only means something to those who feel it, yes?
For I do not feel anything from this as it lacks something? Did that something just crawl away and die? And was it left to fester into shallow stagnate pits of pityness.
Reply:OK, but its a bit puny for a spell isn't darlingk?
I have been cursed by far much worse than this.
Reply:Don't know why... It made me think of this: http://bernardcornwell.net/index.cfm?pag...
Happy whatever it is you do.
Reply:For some reason this sounds very much like you have just cast a spell on someone.
Good
Reply:OK! :)

Imagery poem?
i need a poem for class and i found this one can you tell me if there is imagery in it because i think there is but not completely sure
Without Jews, no Jewish God.
If, God forbid, we should quit
this world, Your poor tent's light
would out.
Abraham knew You in a cloud:
since then, You are the flame
of our face, the rays
our eyes blaze,
our likeness
whom we formed:
in every land and town
a stranger.
Shattered Jewish skulls,
shards of the divine,
smashed, shamed pots--
there were Your light-bearing vessels,
Your tangibles,
Your portents of miracle!
Now count these heads
by the millions of the dead.
Around You the stars go dark.
Our memory of You, obscured.
Soon Your reign will close.
Where Jews sowed,
a scorched waste.
Dews weep
on dead grass,
The dream raped,
reality raped,
both blotted out.
Whole congregations sleep,
the babies, the women,
the young, the old.
Even Your pillars, Your rocks,
the tribe of Your saints,
sleep their dead
eternal sleep
Imagery poem?
YES;;;one of the points is ;;;; rocks SLEEPING;;God bless you real GOOD ;;//;;A---MEN

Its a bit late, but here's a poem I wrote for Bonfire Night - what thinks you?
Bonfire Night
Smell this smoke that is my breath
Feel the flame that is my blood
Taste this heat that is my heart
Feed my hunger with your wood
Touch the ash that is my spit
Hear my fingers scrape the sky
Let my blaze fuse your face
See my tongue tease poor Guy
(Look now how I make him sigh
Make him cry, make him fry
Chase the devil from his eye
He is mine and he shall die!)
Screech your rockets to the stars
Crack your candles, spin your wheels
Breathe my colour, drink my vapour
Now you know how burning feels
Watch me dance and wave and sing
And remember oh remember
How I roared and soared and scorched
Before I sleep within my ember.
Its a bit late, but here's a poem I wrote for Bonfire Night - what thinks you?
Dang i became your fan last time with your one poem about the dead lady. But now i might be one of your biggest fans! You should really consider writing these down and submitting them into contest and things like that!!!
Reply:I think you have a lot of talent here.You spoke from the fires point of view.I could just image the fire talking to me.Continue writing poetry.You have style.I enjoyed this poem very much.

Reply:Not bad, drolls on a little bit however, nice safe emotion, non-risky which is a downer I have to admit, overall well done.

Here are a few small poems of mine, please comment?
what do you think of them?
Black Moon
A blackened moon once was a relic
shon down a gleaming charm on silver lined sky
her years of glory, eclipsing, rotating, waiting
though shortening, shattering, soon to die.
Hypnotized
Fixated by charm
mesmerized within
pretty azure eyes
you got me dreamin’
Play me
Like a instrument
My heart pounds out a rhythm,
Pluck on my heartstrings
And ill play you a song,
Damage my heart
You’ve already won,
No more pain can I feel
As the pain is undone,
No more will I open
My heart for another,
Mistakes I’ve learnt to accept
My feelings for you,
I will never forget.
The Moon
Luminous moon
Enlighten the night
Twinkling stars
Glowing with light
Behind is the sun
Keeping it bright
Shining in darkness
It blazes alight.

These are all pretty good! I like them.
Reply:i like the poems you have on the website. is it just your stuff, or can i get on there to? Report It
Reply:Let me preface this by stating that I am not a writer nor a literary academic, so my opinions are to be taken with a grain of salt.
Black Moon: "shon down a gleaming charm on silver lined sky" - I wouldn't use both 'shone' and 'gleaming' in the same line. Your poems are concise and therefore every word should be necessary. These two kind of make each other redundant.
Hypnotized: again, the second line kind of feels like filler.
Play Me: I think it would help the rhythm if you condensed the last two lines to one line with a similar meter to the previous line.
The Moon: I like this one as it is. I particularly like the astronomical truth of "Behind is the sun; Keeping it bright".
Reply:I disagree. Not all are as good. The Black Moon is too marvelous compared to the other three. This is a poem full of various dramatic shades and tones that capture the figurative fate of the moon. It reminds me of classical poetry chanted during Ancient Times to Diana and Artemis.
Hypnotized has a different flavor altogether. It has a structure and style that parallels a haiku. However, it has a very cliched and anti-climactic ending. Maybe you could work on that. Play me is not as good. But I do think it can be reworked to become a good bard song. As for the last one, I think it is simply too literal - it gives nothing but what you read on the surface. Not something a poem should be.
1 out of 4. Don't worry, the brilliant first poem eclipsed the shortcomings of the other three. What this shows is that you do have the flexibility to write with different styles. But I dare say, stick to the first one. It's the best I've read from you so far.
"With the rising curtains,
I hear the silence --
of roaring thunder
and broken darkness..."

Poem about helping others?
how does this poem deal with helping others? i have to write an essay and i got this poem and another passage. i don't see how it helps people! please help
THERE are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self-content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,
In a fellowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze the paths
Where highways never ran-
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by-
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat
Nor hurl the cynic's ban-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the road
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife,
But I turn not away from their smiles and tears,
Poem about helping others?
Look at the repeated line "And be a friend to man."
While subject to various interpretations, being a friend would include helping others.
And this helpful stance is quite in opposition to others he mentions who are not so friendly: "hermit souls that are withdrawn," or "souls like stars, who dwell apart."
There are all sorts of ways one can be a friend, depending what the needs of a person are. Identifying those needs is a part of helping others. The poem doesn't specify a certain type of help, but the poem is about helping.

Whast this song?
whats the name of this song?
The faint blaze of the candle
of my life slowly dying
like a fire in the pouring rain.
No sparks of hope inside,
no shooting stars on my sky.
on broken wings, no flying high.
Another night, another demise,
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice.
I`ll let the wind blow out the light,
'Cuz it gets more painful Every Time I die.
Out of strength to fight,
I cannot take another night.
I cannot take it no more,
Lust of light slips through my fingers.
Like blood drips off my arms,
Black candle wax has buried me.
Another night, another demise,
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice,
I`ll let the wind blow out the light,
'Cuz it gets more painful everytime I die.
Whast this song?

A small poem "The Moon"?
Its a few weeks old but do you like?
Luminous moon
Enlighten the night
Twinkling stars
Glowing with light
Behind is the sun
Keeping it bright
Shining in darkness
It blazes alight.

A small poem "The Moon"?
I like the intermittent rhyming scheme. I like the words used.
For me, it has this childishly cute feel to it. It's like one of those catchy rhymes that parents would tell their kids at a campfire and would get passed on. It's simplistic but that only helps its image and might have even been deliberate.
Reply:I LOVE IT!!!! It's so cute! especially since it's short nd you didn't try to force extra in. I Love it! great job and props to you :)
