I am posting here for the specific types of characters that we still need:

I started writing a song that I think could be a duet that Santeri and Katri could sing. Katri would be the songwriter in this instance, as these are her feelings about Johannes:

It could be sung from a back and forth perspective somehow - of two people singing about the same kind of feelings, maybe? Anyway, it's really rough and is going to be hacked up quite a bit and trimmed down and refined, but here is the rough, unfininshed mess that will eventually become another song. I need to make a chorus out of some of the lines in this, format it, toss out a few lines here and there and keep the better ones, but this is some of what will be there when it's all done.:

Poison

I’m in the coils
Of a feverish dream
That holds me in its grasp
Stinging, biting me
Poisonous serpent, vicious asp
Release me and let me be free
I see your face over and over again
Down through the ages
You are haunting me

Reaching out for you
But no, I can never hold you
Another’s arms hold you
In place of mine
She has poisoned you
Poisoned our love
Broken promises rain
shards of broken glass
All around me

And my eyes are burned by the sight
Where you stand
In another’s arms
My worst nightmares come true
Broken glass falls endlessly
In my memory

Winds rise around me
I turn into a fury, a monster
And when all is done
Life is torn apart
Blood has been spilled
And I hold you bleeding
Begging you to come back
Stay with me …


I can never touch you
Strange and bitter
You are a vision, unreal
In another’s arms
You are unreal to me
I hold you tainted
In my memory

Poison, you are to me
Please, won’t you set me free?
The sight of you burns me
A thirsty pilgrim dying in the desert
You are the oasis that vanishes
A mirage

You were a vision
Of dazzling light
A torch
Burning bright
But you aren’t real
Another’s arms enfold you
And the touch of that
Poisons me

And now I turn away
I can be free
I won’t think of you anymore
You can never belong to me
And I will always be free
Someday other arms will hold me
And you’ll be nothing more
Than a forgotten memory

It needs to be hacked up so much, syllables made even (actually, "Blood on Roses" needs the same refining treatment, and I will have to circle back around to do that soon), rhymes and beat evened out, drama intensified, but the seeds of a song are here, and it will be complete eventually.

x3 Good.

I'm working on my profile. :] I have my play-by gotten. And I'm working on writing her appearance, then moving on to personality.

[flightoftheunicorn]

Sweet! biggrin

I am excited! ^_^

Blargg ... I'm going to have to go in about 5 minutes - got an early day tomorrow, but I can chat for just a short time longer.

Gorgeous picture! ^_^ Is that from Queen of the Damned?

I've never seen it (yet) but Aliyah was in that, right? Aliyah was very beautiful ...

I haven't seen "Interview With A Vampire" either, even though I've read the book. The writing was gorgeous, but the book was filled with such a mood of melancholy that I didn't care to read the rest of the books. It was dark not just in a scary sense, but with a feeling of futility as well.

Yep! (Good movie. ;D Well.. B rated movie, btu I liked it.) :] And yep. That' herrr.

Another song started writing itself in my brain - something that Katri wrote about Anja. Both Katri and Anja would probably have notebooks full of songs that they've been writing for the day in the distant future when they will be lead singers in some other band. This is a song that Katri would sing about Anja:

Crawling Toward The Light

I will keep moving forward
you locked me up
and threw me in a dark place
and the sight of your face
is the prison
that follows me

but there’s light ahead
her smile has shown it to me
I’ll crawl forward
moving toward her radiance
in brokenness I move
across the shattered glass
you drove into me

her gentleness, her purity
to show me life
and as I watch her tender story unfold
I pray that the innocence
which lights her eyes
will never be stolen
as mine was
when you were stolen from me

love is real
she holds it inside herself
she is a candle
warmth surrounds her

I want to be the hand
that surrounds that flame
that the cruel winds of life
would never blow it out
I want to see her grow
and be free
I want to know
that she will never
turn into me

.............................................................................................................


Katri's emotions are so painful - I can imagine something of what it must be like as I am writing this.

Absolutely stunning. *envies* >.<

Argg ... I've gotta go - got an early day tomorrow, but I'll see you (tomorrow?) Eventually - soon, sometime. >.< Whenever we're next both on. ^_-
