A Strange Insignificance
Dead inside,
Waiting for the outside to follow.
Thousands die every day,
I blink and yawn in response.
These chains are my blankets,
Why should I resist their embrace?
The only embrace I feel.
A drop may make ripples,
But ripples go unnoticed against the tides.
You can huff and puff until your eyes close,
But the air won't notice your breath at all.
You can burn down tree after tree,
But the forest will still stand.
Just remember as you climb the tallest mountains,
You still have to climb down each one.
Dreams are made of dust and despair.
Cling to them until you realize your own futility.
There is nothing left worth fightin
From Earth we come,
With outstretched hands.
We have grown from this sun,
This dirt, these seas,
We creatures who walk this land,
We lucky enough to have come this far the fastest.
Are we the first?
This is the true question.
Metal. Rock. Techno. RnB. So much music.
All pounding away to the pulse
Of the Earth, this living, breathing,
Celestially swaying heavenly body.
Mother Gaia is getting old,
Though lovely she remains.
Has she a daughter, young and lovely,
Or is she the last of her lineage?
An old maid, left off on the brinks
To wither and die?
Or has she sisters not yet discovered?
I cannot say.
For now, I still enjo

Lady of the Calming Waters
The water quivers nary a ripple as she dances over the lake,
The moon her only robe.
The trees sway to her rhythm, the grasses whisper her tales
The stars gaze upon her in wishful thoughts,
She enraptures the cosmos.
Fireflies alight her steps, the nightingales echo her laughter.
Her voice is euphony, as though breathed from angels.
Her presence is peace, nirvana.
Teodora, they call her, Lady of the Calming Waters.
Her presence is peace. Nirvana. Reverie.

Mistress of the Mire
Queen of the mire
She walks where she pleases, when she pleases,
on whom she pleases.
The Earth is her pearl, her oyster
should its beauty be to her liking.
For it hardly shines besides her
The dusk's fog enshrines her in murk,
Stagnation and beauty in perfect harmony.
All who see quiver in disgust, lust, and awe.
Come dance with me in the rain
And i'll show you where the stormclouds brush the heavens.
Let me show you the path of the new streams,
The lightning will illuminate all.
Let the wind whisper in your ear,
Listen to its lulls and blushings
Let it caress your soft skin as it glides over your body
Dance beneath the moonglow with me,
Tonight we shall borrow the stars
And they shall sing to us, and us to them
Breathe in the rain, let it erode everything between us
And we shall become as the rain, ever flowing
Wherever we may please.
[Intro/chorus 1]
Nailed shut, Buried deep,
Dark soil cannot keep.
Dig up, towards sky,
Everyone will die.
for so long have i waited in the dark
for too long has the air been absent
but no earthly force can be my hindrance
you shall be mine at long last
this coffin can no longer keep me
these nails, laughably weak
and when i rise from the ground
naught but your soul shall i seek!
[chorus 2]
Nailed shut, forced down,
Buried deep in the ground.
Bleeding wounds; can't feel,
Everyone soon shall kneel.
to more fully taste of it
is my pure and true desire;
i swear i'll have you, and your soul,
until then i shall never tire!

dark side of the Knife by zapperzoid2000, literature
Literature
dark side of the Knife
so dark is my life
like the other side of the knife
cutting into my skin
bleeding from within
pouring from my soul
a gaping hole
a fire inside
sick of all the lies
time for someone to die
trees are dropping their leaves
spiraling to the ground
angels come and go as they please
some dark, some grey, some with broken wings
i hear all these words
they pierce the skin
so deep the hurt
my soul bleeds
spiders, bats, and snakes
crawl in my slumber
a life im going to take
please take a number
the room starts to spin
it's happening again
i hear the boom
im shut inside my tomb
i see red for a spell
feeling as evil as hell
i erupt in flames
tired of playing your games
feeling the demons within
i see red again
devouring of the mind by zapperzoid2000, literature
Literature
devouring of the mind
i open my eyes and see
what can never be
visions of dark fire
calling me a liar
i feel the rising fear
making everything else disappear
when u walk into the room
i feel my inevitable doom
i look into your eyes
and feel my soul start to vaporize
feeling all the pain
a dark and sad rain
i'll not shed a tear
when it all ends here.
i feel the ice in my veins
turning me insane
the unquenchable flame
im through with all your games
one of us must go away,
or there will be hell to pay
this will be the last blunder
one of us is going to end up six feet under
Life. some might say its a beautiful thing,
while others waste it away.
and still others find it as a torturous, terrible burden.
creaing anger, despair, and violence.
it never starts that way;
however.
it may begin harmless enough,
youu didnt have very many friends in elementary school,
because u were different.
if ur lucky, it will stop there.
but for others, it continues.
a change comes along, and moves u out way out of ur comfort zone.
you're a fish out of water, struggling and struggling.
and people avoid u.
and it drives u up the wall.
you give up and say "forget it, lets try something else."
so your surroundings are ch
i hate the way you make me feel
try as i might, the wounds won't heal
all your words make me bleed
all i want is to be freed
i tug at my chains
my life is slowly being drained
youve put me inside a cage
my pain slowly becoming rage
the blood flows down my face
i sense the end of days,
i feel your knife enter my back
i start to see shades of black
i feel evil,
i feel violent
kept inside a cage so long
i'll no longer be silent.
you've grabbed my soul
and dragged me down
how can u expect me
not to frown
im so sick and tired of having nothing to show for all this.
I've tried to be
i've tried feel,
but as long as ur this way
theres no way i can heal
i've had about enough of all your shit.
Come dance with me in the rain
And i'll show you where the stormclouds brush the heavens.
Let me show you the path of the new streams,
The lightning will illuminate all.
Let the wind whisper in your ear,
Listen to its lulls and blushings
Let it caress your soft skin as it glides over your body
Dance beneath the moonglow with me,
Tonight we shall borrow the stars
And they shall sing to us, and us to them
Breathe in the rain, let it erode everything between us
And we shall become as the rain, ever flowing
Wherever we may please.

Like, almost every day, just to see if anybody's posted anything, or if I have any new comments.
I've written tons (like seriously, tons) of poetry and stuff, but I haven't posted any because I've been far too lazy. Also, it's being put to much better use than just sitting stagnant here on DA; I actually have a band now, and I'm adapting a lot of my poetry into actual songs. Keep a watch on our myspace page*, we're gonna be uploading songs any day now.

I've been working on logos and such lately (my scanner is wonderful), and i plan on updating this thing sporadically. So be vigilant, you never know when i might put up something new.
