Sometimes, you know
Sometimes there's nothing
though hard you try to make anything at all of it
and then there's nothing
And then sometimes, when you just do nothing. There.
There it was.
The black walls of the Arcgant fortress were silent. They were emptied to the last soldier leaving them unmanned but for the operators of the trebuchets, yet it did not lessen the terror the walls oozed. Ten trebuchets were positioned along the top of the walls, each with a burning chunk of stone in their bowls to incinerate the first wave of enemies. The three immense drawbridges were being lowered, as a thundering roar slowly increased and rolled across the blackened fields that were black with the demons' armies.
The armies of Arcgant marched out with clamors of sword on shield. Slowly the walls surrounding the gates lit up in the light
A Sea of tiny little movements by Amduscian, literature
Literature
A Sea of tiny little movements
A Sea of tiny little movements
are reflected in the sky
With every move you make
you make me move along
Waves come crashing in
and the clouds, they roll along
push me closer to you
bring yourself closer to me
The Sun then burns the water
boiling white with heat
And then the storm will pass away
you're no further than my hand
that still bears the warmth of you
you're no further than my mind
that still bears the image of your smile
you're still present in my ear
your voice still floats around
you're still present in my chest
my heart still beats with yours
It's just my eyes that I cannot betray
they say you've gone away...
The world was upside down, reflected in the water
But when I did look up, my world had turned around as well
and I had gone adrift on the ocean everywhere around me
I turned and tried to find you, but then I realized
though I'd hidden on this mountain far away
I'm just as lonely on the island that I know
as I was on that mountain long ago.
I saw you
but first you saw me,
and acting foolish too
I didn't know
and didn't know you
I saw you, though
I talked to you
but first you talked to me
and I acted foolish too
looking back
I never felt so
not knowing what to do
the rain bombards the streets
and leaves holes of black
the walls are lightning,
reflect the car lights outside
the lights go out and the darkness
scares away the rain
the rain stops and a dripping
turns into footsteps
and I am scared now
an eagle high, and all alone
higher still than ever flown
seeks the sun but in the clouds
the light is wrapped in shrouds
no-one told that, up so high,
not just icarus is prone to die
however much you love the sun
wait 'till spring will have begun
then, light is all around to love
more beautiful than ever dreamed of
so, young bird, be patient yet
the sun will never set
The summer started bleeding
and cried out in red tears
the cold hurted her hands
red trickled on the leaves
and now autumns' reign has come
and nature mourns its own demise
the trees out of respect turn colourless
and blend in with the clouds' grey
all now stand and await the end
when winter lays its snow-white veil
and covers all the tears that nature shed
while underneath a new season buds
and when snow is washed away
by the soothing rains of spring
a new sun shines and hugs the land
and green smiles back at the light
winds howling like the wolves
as the sky melts, dissolves
and the wall of water comes down
all merging into one sound
a duet of the skies
as the wind flies
and the water flies along
they together sing the song
of the perfect storm
Sometimes, you know
Sometimes there's nothing
though hard you try to make anything at all of it
and then there's nothing
And then sometimes, when you just do nothing. There.
There it was.

Your voice and eyes, the only thing that I perceive
I listen, and watch your eyes; I can't believe
how these lines, unchanged for many years
can now in some way end up altered to my ears
you voice the words and sounds exactly right
you whisper those poetic lines so featherlight
they flow around, lulling me almost to dreams
like the sound of calmly flowing mountain streams
they say a person often speaks with eyes
betraying that what one tries to disguise
I can unravel what the poet's whispers mean
your eyes betray the meanings first unseen
entranced and hardly aware of anything
you read, you speak, to me you sing
and the emotion
winds howling like the wolves
as the sky melts, dissolves
and the wall of water comes down
all merging into one sound
a duet of the skies
as the wind flies
and the water flies along
they together sing the song
of the perfect storm

Literature
A vampire's eyes -Flashlit-
the moon shines
a white and grey
and soothing light
a call for all
for the doomed
and the dead
to come out
and feast
with me
the church's tower strikes 12, the hour
the dance of the dead can finally commence
the werewolves howl and I, I watch
and see the night turn a pale white
as I stand on the balcony of my castle
overlooking this all, and then...
I set out to join the feast
the moon will ever rise
Midnight through a Vampire's eyes
shivering in the chair
in a womb of darkness
staring at the warmth
but not feeling it
Where am I?
in my mind?
the image of a lodge
that's neither home
nor truly existent
I'm not here at all
cold despite the fire
dark despite the light
here despite the fact
that I'm not here at all
the hearth, the lodge
the bookshelves everywhere around me
They are my dreamed up house
though it's not here at all
let the fire warm my dreamed up house
let it light up all my dreamed up details
let me be without myself; a different role
though I'm not here at all
the frightening, the hopelesness
the lightning, the thunder
the storm, the ra
A n00b, another newbie on the net
It's hard, this life so lost in cyberspace
and in the end one's always crying with regret
technology gives way, pc's are set ablaze
Out there be horrid monsters, be aware
they'll eat your data for a snack you know
you'll fry your bits, with yet another flare
untill your system's really just about to blow
your printer's eating paper, screen turned black
your disks are getting chopped up pretty nice
and you impale your keyboard with a crack
well, maybe you could do with some advice
It's all that piece of junk's fault!. in that case
some anger management would be in place
Baby, it just tears my heart-
With the two of us, miles and miles apart.
The seas and oceans, a deep abyss,
A meager sign of how much, you, I miss.
Maybe I might just take off today,
And cast everything at hand away.
A rose I'd take for everyday, you, I missed,
And set out- land and endless ocean, amidst.
Although my legs would protest in pain,
And my knees buckle, but not in vain.
For across the vast, blue expanse and the wearying land,
I'd make my way as swiftly as I can.
My legs would hold with a Spartan will,
For between us there are miles to go, still.
"Wow! He's crazy!" my shrink might say,
But he hasn't seen you to this
I got her for my 16th birthday. I couldn't have been happier. She was made of cherry wood, used, but still having her olde glow. Father had personally refurnished her, carefully sanding her down, sealing her. Stringing her. My instructors were amazed at how quickly I took to learning how to play her, coaxing out sweet sounds and haunting tunes. I even dared to make a few. She's retired now, My Lady, having been replaced by a younger, more sturdy harp. His lines are just as smooth, but didn't have the soft glow of My Lady. He wasn't as cherished either. My Lady was finished five days before Father died. Three months to the day of my birthday.
Demons of the past
the ships will sail
out for battle
ghost of the past
demons in my mind
to many ships have come
to big
to dark
I'm scared alone
panic strikes
hard to breath
tears flowing
body shaking
all at once
they came after me
the demons of the past
horrifying memories
what once was
just a memory
was there again
just like those day's
everything came back
the whole deal
every memory
every moment of the past
the ships are sailing
they are after me
after all those years
there haunting again
This time I'm not alone. The panic will fade. Ships will sink. The war will end, ships will sink. It's my turn to kill t
My Little Butterfly
Small and Fragile
Like a butterfly
You're taking day by day.
Hoping tomorrow will be better
Trying to stop thinking about things
That you want to forget
You're only thinking about them more
They're making you cry
The secret you have
That no one knows
Except one
Lets keep it that way
It will change you
Little butterfly
It will change everything
It means the end
Figthing with your selve
To find the answers
The answer to a question
Which will not be told
Day by day you get older
Tired of life
Still trying to find the answer
Your limbs getting numb
Find a peacefull place

My insolence, my bad habit
not my problem, not my concern
My addiction, my indulgence
not my problem not my concern
My senses broadened
My view is widened
and all I see now
is simple and clear
thoughts are racing for the lead
and lead to other thoughts
that join racing for the lead
until with morning
the light shines
shines so bright
and hurts my eyes
to sleep, to die, and then to see
the body suffered terribly
under the weight of last night's dream
Here goes me. I love to be archaic. I'm elitist as fuck. I drink whiskey just to look like something. I hate clichés. I shit on them. I'm hypocrite as fuck. In a way I shit on myself. If you hear me say something, think twice, then answer. Else you'll miss half of what I say and half of what you say I won't register. Partially because I talk too much. And the other half is, as said, archaic elitist nonsense.

I have this epic idea for a short story with a ferryman and blood and guts and the end of the world but no time to write it because I'm in the middle of exams now. aaargh. Worse is, I might have to do some research before writing it, else it'll be shit. So. Dillema. But I'll damn well write it because it's a good story. In my head, that is.
For now, comment my cliché-overdosed epic battle scene, Now.
Please?
I have just found out that if I want a hardcover version of a series I've been looking for forever, it will set me back 210 euro's. It's the History of Middle earth series, the one where a lot of the notes of J.R.R. Tolkien is collected in and where Christopher Tolkien comments on everything. Oh and I found out that they're about 1600-1700 pages per book. (12 volumes in 3 parts)
I'll just go drown myself in self-pity for a while.
I'm losing it. Not completely, but just a bit more than usual. It is, of course, my neverending lack of sleep, and the fact that I can't write anything decent anymore. I'm so post-modern right now, everything is written, I can and will not add anything useful or new.
But tomorrow I'll be all Romantic period again and paint mountains with words and whatnot, so don't worry. I'm just
