A Warrior's Helfor

A Warrior's Helför

The corpse-dew clings stubbornly to my clothes, flowing freely from my head.

An arrow fired from afar has hit its mark; Today I shall soon be dead.

Before my eyes roll back in their sockets, I look up into the cloudless sky.

Riding through the air like wayward rockets, I see the fabled Valkyrjar fly.

Those divine choosers of the slain, they fly so swiftly through the air!

Though their spears are drenched in blood, their beauty is beyond compare.

My body laid still-warm in the dirt, my flesh giving the ravens their rightful share.

Taking me in her arms, I am held tightly by one with braided locks of golden hair.

To despair is to change, to change is to influenceYou hold much more influence
Than you can ever realise...
Said the passer by to the poet.
But if the poet was so wise
Then why does he despair to the skies
With his pen every night?
To set things right.
He decided.

Fireno matter what life may bring your way,
just keep your head held high,
no matter the things that others say,
reach up towards the sky,
hold out until the break of day,
and never wonder why,
no matter what they may,
tread on swiftly through the fray,
with fire in your eye

Where are we fromIt makes me wonder of what we are,
stardust i heard, children of god.

Oblivous creations, accidents on a rod,
is perhaps god carrying a shirt.

On it a saying, i made humanity
and this is all i got.

don't look into the shadows eyesdon't look into the shadows eyes,
or reach out and try to touch it.
for the dark thing is making ties,
thinking you don't want to love it.

he'll glare at you with eyes dark red,
and smile 'till his grin is full.
run for he'll be quickly fed,
feasting on your soul.

so say goodbye to all your best friends,
and say it to your family.
little do they know of your desperate feeble end,
fighting, struggling, yearning to be free.

the shadow consumes you, loving your intense fear,
into the shadow, you will sink, until there's nothing left.
your life and existence, slowly starting to disappear,
and nobody will know of this untimely theft.

This Is How I PrayI wear a mask because I have no face.
I’ve always dropped out of every race.
I am a quitter and a sinner and I’m broken.
I feel so hollow from every word I have spoken.

I’ve been so lonely for so long.
I’m ready to sing my Swan Song.
Every time I fall asleep, I die.
I am whipped and scorned for asking, “Why?”

Where is my God? Does He hear me?
Why can’t I see Him? Why does He hate me?
To answer my challenge,
He planted this thought in my mind:

I am a rose.
Fragrant and precious,
I am cursed with
An army of thorns.
I am a rose.
Too easy to cut down
And be used just to please
Somebody else.
I am a r

Where is GOD?Everywhere I look
Points me again
To someone who saves,
To YOUR healing hand.
And though sometimes
I can’t see YOU here,
I know YOU are with me
And YOU’re always near.
I searched so long
For the joy YOU bring.
Now, my soul is longing
To get up and sing!
Here am I to worship
YOU, who saves!
Here am I to bring
YOU everlasting praise!
Though doubt consumes me sometimes
I will never let go,
Because I am told to walk by faith
And let my faith show.
So, again I stand
In YOUR holy presence
Asking for peace and joy
Like YOUR rich men’s!

Secret Riteswe're not going dancing in the moonlight,
we're not building a bonfire high,
we're not daring the stars to fall,
we're not praying at an altar's lies,

we're not wishing for something more,
we're not hoping for something less;
we're just going to keep doing what we can,
and not settle for second best.

we're not denying you did your best,
we're not refuting your hard work,
we're not asking for better next time,
we're not treating you like a jerk,

we're not gloating that ours is better,
we're not whining that ours is worse;
we're just doing what we know how,
and starting up on the next verse.

we're not garbed in robes of hemp,
we're not cloa

DeadWhen I wake up,
I’m not searching for you.
And praying for others
Is something I don’t do.
Thus, I’m driven wild
With a longing I can’t explain,
But I’m refusing all your chances
To heal and brake the chains.
In darkness do I lie,
Sinking deep in sin.
I only pray to you
When pain am I in.
I’ve lost all my focus.
I’ve lost all my life.
Now, I live in pain;
In darkness; In strife.
Heal me, O LORD,
From this death inside.
Help me to follow you,
And let YOUR hand guide.

A Path Once TakenI have taken many paths
That lead to many places.
They, of course, have many destinations.
I see, behind me, a path once taken
That broke my heart and burned my soul.
It is a poisoned cup,
Of which I drank many times.
Where did it leave me?
Broken.
This path once taken
Has left me dry and achin’
And yearning for love so desired.
I try to avoid the path,
But it appears again at last
And I am not too fast,
For I am tired..
The lust that consumes my soul
Has at last taken its toll
And left me more broken than before.
Where can I be refilled
So that I may be still
In this place that’s made to steal
And recreate your soul?
I still lie hear
Shedding many tears,
Not without my fears,
But seeking it yet again.
I have returned
To that path once taken
That left me dry and achin’
And yearning for love forsaken.

His RighteousnessBread and wine.
Soften, not harden.
A fellowship divine.

There is not a soul. Not one.
Depicted in such great compassion.
Than Jesus Christ.
God's only begotten son.

He healed the sick,the broken, and the blind.
He died for God and all mankind.
He dined with sinners, loving for all time.

He died for me. So that I can be,
Eternally in Christ free, his font of revelry.
One entity.

He makes the light shine full in grace.
There is a gift within us all.
We will not fear. We will not fall.

Mystery of mysteries.
What love has fully done.
Throughout history marvelously won.
Over sin and death. Instantly, evil can be broken and undone.

The love

Speaks the Sun to the MoonThe nice may finish last
But he who waits receives
Don’t judge life based on your past
The mortal memory deceives
Your grudge may cloud judgment
Ask: Is this who I am? Or is this who I wish I was?
Don’t ask ‘why’ just accept ‘because’
A phrase is cliché because it is universal truth
So what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger
And every cloud does have a silver lining
When you feel lost or out of sight
Keep up your dukes or you’ll lose the fight

Rushed and reckless means unfulfilled
Think strategically with movements skilled
You are worth it and your value only increases as you invest

Patience is a VirtuePatience is a virtue
One that I lack and must hone
But only sages as old as time
With many wrinkles defined
Have patience in their lives and homes

Perhaps if I live like a tortoise, slow and true,
I’ll find out why the sky is blue
If I can crawl on all fours, like I was born to do,’
Maybe I’ll understand why everyone refers to ‘2+2’
(I mean, seriously, why not other math problems? I don’t have a clue!)

Patience is a blessing
One that can’t be bought
But only monks in mountains high
Have temperaments as infinite as the sky
And patience in their lives and robes

Perhaps if I shaved my head and lived w

Your Majesty StyxThis is verse about me and all of you
Call me blunt- I have no tact
But I’m tired of putting on this serving act
Call it vanity, call it pride
But I am a queen with nothing to hide

Step forward, don’t be afraid
Let all doubt simply fade

Come to your mother
Her children she protect
A name known in every dialect
A perfect guardian all learn to respect

Come now children, may you sleep in peace
Sift souls from bodies, feel sweet release

Fill all desires and needs
Just be careful not to bite the hand that feeds
On the outside there is darkness
The thrill lies in the mystery in where it leads

Letter a DiscipleHow are you, son? It's been a while
since I've heard from you, with that, I write
to ask how you do and where you are
and try to connect with your distant heart.

It's been a while since the day you left,
to be honest, till now, this hurt I've kept
from your betrayal have yet to mend.
So I'll be transparent with you, my friend.

Now I'll tell a tale to express what's within,
to let you know what I've been hiding;
to let you know how it grieves me so,
in hopes you'll realize and come back home.

Even before, in the spirit, you were born
in my womb, I conceived you as my own.
In prayer I travailed for God to move
and indeed His promises, throug

ForbiddenThe Book of Death makes known our wretched sins,
And seals the fates of kings and tramps alike.
Atop a spire 'twixt seas of wines and gins,
Descended with that Fallen Angel's strike.
One thousand leagues across the fields of fire!
The selfish men who seek immortal life:
Take thousands more to reach the cursed spire!
But all who try have failed and died in strife.
Yet I do not seek these repulsive pages;
Nor lust for endless knowledge in these seams.
For my guardian has shown me through my ages
The truth behind this hellish book of dreams.
I am a mortal; that is how it must stay;
Lest from this graceful path of life I stray.

Lone StarUp the hill, in the land where the mountain folk reside:
Stands a hut, holding the Scythian's dreams.
For a quest, and a tome, putting everything aside,
Maybe then will you know what it means.

Rime of Eternal Night

Literature / Poetry / Spiritual / Traditional Fixed Forms

Here follows the Rime of Eternal Night,
That will keep the Moon up to its full height.
Embrace the dark tranquil of the twilight,
And shun the blazing fury of daylight.
Find your peace inside silent Light-in-Dark,
While covering with haze all unfit marks.
Suspend in time the moment with your spell,
Journey and sound the midnight's silent bell.
Come and escape the Order for just one day,
Come frolic in the grass, so young and gay.
These lines shall protect this heavenly sphere,
And will stay for all eternity here.
So now that this Rime of Night is adjourned,
The reign of the Sun is elsewhere sojourned.

Cool poem, but the mispelled 'rime' instead of 'rhyme' just ruins it for me.

hurrdurr, it's not misspelled - it's merely an older version of spelling

~darkmagshin Jan 16, 2012

even so, i still don't understand why you would spell it that way when in the story it is spelled 'Rhyme' anyways, but i guess i'm just nitpicking.
