THRILL SEEKER ashlander_alpha THRILL SEEKER ashlander_alpha Poems, huh? Well, I didn't write this (it's from Diablo, a PC game), but I couldn't think of another place to post it. Pretty damn cool, though. Enjoy. I can see what you see not. Vision milky, then eyes rot. When you turn they will be gone, Whispering their hidden song. Then you see what cannot be; Shadows move where light should be. Out of darkness, out of mind, Cast down into the halls of the blind. Personally, I think it could very well be turned into a song with some further thought. damn that was a good game... never beat it though, i always came really close... isn't that poem from one of the tomes you read, and the narrator speaks and the text scrolls down the scream? that guy had such an awesome voice too XD smile that was right before you encountered the vanishing ghouls Dude! Another game we both play(ed)! That's from the "Halls of the Blind" quest, from the Book of the Blind, I think. And those monsters were called "Illusion Weavers." You know, I like that poem so much, I think I'LL make a continuation of it. Will post extended version later. hahaha, i actually got bored on the plane ride back to California (i was vacating in Florida, and i live in Los Angeles) yesterday morning, and i wrote a poem on a go-off of the Diablo story line biggrin it was also inspired by the song "Closure" by Opeth. great minds think alike, my friend. "Savior of a handfull And a village of dead trees With sword in hand I brought evil to it's knees But I now carry a heavy burden Diablo's jewel in a mortal carcass I isolate from the morning sun As I too now hunger for darkness The Black Lord was not slain His immortality is inanimate Bloodlust courses through my veins For I am Lucifer re-incarnate" Nice. That'd be a good intro to Diablo II, which I play religiously. And...I've actually gotten around to writing the Halls of the Blind poem. I'm quite proud. Halls of the BlindI can see what you see not, Vision milky, then eyes rot. When you turn they will be gone, Whispering their hidden song. Then you see what cannot be; Shadows move where light should be. Raking talons, wicked jaws, Drawing souls into their maws. Out of darkness, out of mind, Cast down into the halls of the blind. Your footsteps echo on the floor. Foolishly, you open wide the door. Sightless eyes peer into your heart, Tearing all sanity apart. You try to flee, but it’s too late; Those lidless eyes have seen your fate. Hideous is the song they wail; It fills your ears like a hellish gale. Out of darkness, out of mind, Cast down into the halls of the blind. Futilely, you try to fight; No match are you for their ethereal might. Death approaches, offers its hand. And, finally, you begin to understand. Of those who enter, none can leave, Doomed forever to moan and grieve. Your hot blood spatters upon the ground; Before you die, you hear one last sound: Out of darkness, out of mind, Cast down into the halls of the blind.

Yeah, I suppose I did kinda use the inverted order a little too often. But it was the only way to make some of those rhymes work. Glad you liked it, though.

THRILL SEEKER i write a lot poetry, not alot of songs.... but a decent amount of poetry. comments on my material? please feel free to post your own writings, i'd like to see what lyrically creativity exists on Gaia 3nodding "There's a Ring of Barbed Wire In My Mouth"Let oil spill through your teeth Let heaven's ashes fill your lungs Pry open the ribcage of embodied sin, And bathe in its glorious, unholy splendour. "Mortality and Avarice"Transcending golden light In a sweet mist of silver A gift from gods, abused Conjuring an invincible wrath Abominations of the sky Invoking black, furious sorrow This self-inflicted apocalypse Incarcerating all time and matter "Oil Spills and Diamond Mines"Frantic escape of fear, The escape of oblivion, And the monstrosities of the stars: Of mythological, invisible heavans. He stares into the black abyss, Only to find it staring into himself. In epic horror he shuts his eyes, Retreating to his earthly concrete vegetation, In pirsuit of security to numb his suffering: To nullify his potential, to discintegrate his purpose. He spreads isolation amongst his children, In hopes of their ignorance of curiosity and question. But not so that they fail to find his discovery, As to what he may never discover at all. you lyrics are awesome! Thanks for giving me permission to use them. I have a killer death metal song but it isnt appropriate for me to post in this guild forum, message me and I will type 'em up for you.

Haiku anyone?
This is a short haiku progression that I wrote the beginning of two years ago and finished last week. sorry if some of the stanzas are extraneous, but that's the way I wrote it.
Lachrymose instinct
pain of life renewed daily
clothes the day in ice
assemblage of wind
scattered to the four corners
mournful in motion
beauty in silence
calming the darkness with tears
cares if the vengeful
opening of doors
silent anticipation
closing of mind
dead brown among white
purity staind by a scar
just beyond my reach
hymns of the fallen
crying forever from dark
still greet a new dawn
triumph of glory
won in the still of the night
leaves the wind mournful

Nicely done, friend. I didn't actually believe haiku could be metal-ized, but you've done it. Bravo!

Bravo! danka danka, I didn't really mean for them to be metal, like I said I started writing the progression about two years ago when I didn't even know who tool was, so hey thanks glad you like, and there is a lot more where that came from.

Hoping your silence surpasses; Drenched in darkness; Weep no more; Let not your breath be wasted, it means nothing; Taste your death; Leave me now; Turn wind into fire and leave only your ashes to be carried to the stars.
