The Path On Destructions Crest

I walk the path on destruction's crest
The one path which I know best
In the deepest depths of Hell I roam
wandering,lost,without a home

I walk on fire yet do not burn
To walk on stone is what I yearn
Year by year I walk through this hell
Will this be my fate?..Only time can tell

Burning snow falls from ashen skies
their flakes the size of dragonflies
I find myself knee-deep in ash
The earth comes down in a thundering crash

The Molten passion which breaks the earth's crust
Its power Matched only by my insatiable lust

I cannot tell day from night
the scorched earth is my only light
Darkness overwhelms all
Cast into the deep chasm I fall..I fall

I watch molten magma turn to stone
I feel nothing, not even my own bones
Do I deserve this eternal pain?
I have asked myself again and again

As the mountain explodes greed turns to wrath
The raging wind throws me on my back
My feet give way, I fall to the ground
My ears overwhelmed by the defeaning sound

Wreaking havoc through my mind
Trampling down my dreams
Carnage is its only sign
As it tears at my very seams

Suddenly there is silence
My mind begins to clear
Now i think of what I did
Is that what I truly FEAR?

[alannacho]

Longing

Drifting on the wind
My thoughts seek you
To speak to you the words
Our hearts both hear.

I sit here wait and think
And slowly I see a chasm begin
A void that threatens to consume me
To make me doubt us.

And yet the sweet memories surface
Bringing the delicious pictures of your face
And calls to me, to my heart
Telling me that all will be okay.

This longing is a double edge sword
It threatens to consume me in grief
But at the same it surrounds me
With a warmth and happiness.

Listen to my words
As they drift on the wind
And call to you my love
To let you know I am here for always.

No matter the distance that you must go
Away from the safety of my arms
I will be here waiting and longing for your embrace
A shelter for you in the storm of life.

Think of the good times together
When darkness threatens to overcome you, my love
Let my love guide you back
And bring you safe through your troubles.

Drifting on the wind
Your thoughts call to me
And they speak of love and longing
For us to be together again.

Fate

What was the start of all this?
when did the cogs of fate began to turn?
perhaps its impossible to grasp the answers now,
from deep within the flow of time

but, for a certanity, back then,
we loved so many, yet hated so much
we rejoiced upon triumphs, but sorrowed upon defeaths
we cheered at life, but mourned at death
we have hurt others greatly, yet was hurt ourselves more

and yet, we laughed like the wind
caring for nothing in the less
and being guided by the hands of fate
under the cerulian skies

Gosh! I think I've got the shortest poem in here XD,, ohh well,, here it goes:

My Everything


Everytime I lay down on my bed, I think of you.
I look up on the Sky, an I hope everything wasn't a Lie.
I feel my tears coming, I think I'm gonna Cry.
Please,, don't say Goodbye.
Just look Above, and I'm forever your eternal Love.

[Kitsun Utomachi]

In My Mind
In my mind you all are there,
Through my pain and my despair,
To help me raise the mental bar,
To help out whether you're near or far.

You all are there through my strife,
To help guide me to a better life,
You're there when I need you the most,
You're there when I need to cry or boast.

In my mind where things all change,
My thoughts and perspective rearrange,
You're there to keep my sanity there,
So I don't have such a burden to bear.

In my mind things are crazy,
It's hard to keep up mentally,
Through the work that I have to do,
But for help I will always have you.

You keep me safe, you keep me sound,
You make sure that I am never bound,
You're always there no matter when,
Right here with me, around the bend.

Sometimes I try to look for you,
I don't feel what I think is true,
In my mind where I thought you'd be,
I suddenly feel so empty.

I try and try to look around,
To search for you with sight and sound,
I wonder why you left me alone,
Why there's darkness where light once shone.

You left me alone, you left me stranded,
In my mind I'm alone and branded,
A failure, strange, and put to shame,
My friends are lost same with my fame.

But then I turn and suddenly see,
You were right there to the side of me,
You were always by my side,
Forever with me in my mind.

It took one friend, took one alone,
To show me the light that was shone,
It didn't vanish, it did not dissapear,
I ignored it and thought it left here.

In my mind I realize.
You've always been with me in guise,
You never left, I've never felt,
Life without you has not been dealt.

You are always here for me,
To guide me for eternity,
Hidden away so to let me try,
To find my path by and by.

You wanted me to figure out,
To live my life without doubt,
In my mind you tried to show,
But I ignored and felt the blow.

In my mind I thought you were,
To guide my life and not to swerve,
Make me try and make me think,
Make me go out to the brink.

You taught me well, you taught me now,
I know to do what and to do how,
To live my life independantly,
But never forget my friends by me.

You wanted to show me that it is fine,
To live my life alone in my mind,
But I also must realize,
That friends are there all shapes and size.

I must learn to act and be,
With my friends both mentally,
And physically on my on power,
But call on friends in desperate hour.

I guess now in my mind,
I see what I must do in time,
I must work alone and with my friends,
Switching off from end to end.

In my mind I have finally seen
Friends will always be there for me,
But I must also be there for you,
To teach my wisdom, through and through.

This is just a little something I'm throwing together as I type.

The Night

Have you ever wandered late at night
Wondering if anything you do is right
Stare at the stars; such brightening light
Standing still, unsure, unhappy, out of sight.

You walk down the street, searching for yourself in the endless black
Keep going, you're almost there. Don't turn back
The night is young, your life is new
Don't let it take advantage of you

Turn to the left and turn to the right
Prove to me you know how to fight
Follow the path placed before you, don't stray
There's one way through the night, nothing gray.

I know you can do it! I know you're strong
You doubted it, but I knew it all along
When you get home, after so long
I'll be there waiting.

[silencer]

well here it goes. My entry.

this good ol' chair is tired and worn.
its black leather deep and cracked
as my bum skishes it down into place.
smooth reflective, demanding cold
with an ocean of reverie in the seams.
A couch in disguise
*sigh* but I guess no one will know of it but I.

a million miles away.
a smile greets the new found day
in a rising sun.
be it o'er russia be it o'er france.
you are are there and I am...
I am here in this....
sometimes. I feel something.
I guess it's nothing.
just laugh. choke and laugh.

memories of your body on mine
mingle in it's stitching as leather sides burst.
rememberin times much better than the lives
that I have woven up to throw over mine.
colors are meaningless.
bloodstained and inkless.
the insatiable white of a clean slate
ingrained into the past
that I will never admit to having.
just choke...
and laugh till it's black and white again.

there is no now but a passing moment
of what is and what will come to be.
like tracks in the shifting snow, or a heartbeat in a maelstrom.
you and I were but a passing moment
of a meaningless existence. perhaps.

perhaps. perhaps I can't. admit all that you meant.
just choke
laugh, and choke.

in this
delicately sung
symphony of a broken be catastrophe
hung on the words
of sullen whimsical man
adrift at a porcelain sea
I tire of the would be gazes on the product of my lifes disgrace
eyes cast the die of what could or could not turn out to be,
as hopefully a loaded chamber
a hammer fall away from perfect falling harmony.

laugh.

and choke this life outta me.

[Benji-san]

here goes~

Whispers in the Wind

Your whispers are gentle echoes
that sway ardent winds of harmony
and in the symphony of life
each word is wrapped in rhapsody.

We travel separate roads of life
gather flowers along the way and
share the music of their fragrance.

We exist between two winds,
I here under a pale moon
you, the other end of somewhere.

Sometimes when wind blows through trees
I pause to listen and in its passing
I hear the tenderness of your voice
that fills the spectrum of my soul.

You are the chime of warm rain,
the moon that glows through the trees
and within the luster of evening
your aura fills the scene.

I hear the whispers of the wind
see the stars shine in the sky,
but I hold the sunrise in my pocket.

Dance with me within the wind,
then just let me love you.
