[font=Geneva,MS Sans Serif,sans serif][size=-1] Alone in Darkness

[/size][/font]

[font=Geneva,MS Sans Serif,sans serif][size=-1]the night falls with a silent sigh, cold and alone are we.
the emotion for which you sacrifice yourself
flares once, then dies,
swallowed by the abyss.
all hope must not endure.

your soul thrives no more.
how could you tear us asunder?
angels surround us, crying,
we have lost our way.[/size][/font]

[font=Geneva,MS Sans Serif,sans serif][size=-1] Into The Dust Of Centuries

[/size][/font]

[font=Geneva,MS Sans Serif,sans serif][size=-1]Into the dust of centuries
We fall like feathers of a dying swan
Like brown leaves in autumn
...withered emotions...
Nothing more than a dream
Of a solitary universe
We fall like corns of sand
In the hourglass of despair
Nothing more than a dream
Like melting snow in spring
Like circles on the surface
Of a shady forest lake
We fall like drops of rain
On a bleak October noon
Distant echoes, lost
In the whispers of the trees
Unable to perceive
The northwind’s silent melody
Under our heavy burden
We bend like weeping willows
Nothing more than a dream
Nothing more than a fading memory
Into the dust of centuries
We all fall without hope...

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all of his cash in a bucket.

But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man

And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

 

[Maqus]

that reminds me of the te-kíla joke

 

[Bambi]

I had a cat named Snowball --
She died! She died!
Mom said she was sleeping --
She lied! She lied!
Why oh why is my cat dead?
Couldn't that Chrysler hit me instead?

Das Mondschaf

Das Mondschaf steht auf weiter Flur.
Es harrt und harrt der großen Schur.
Das Mondschaf.

Das Mondschaf rupft sich einen Halm
und geht dann heim auf seine Alm.
Das Mondschaf.

Das Mondschaf spricht zu sich im Traum:
"Ich bin des Weltalls dunkler Raum."
Das Mondschaf.

Das Mondschaf liegt am Morgen tot.
Sein Leib ist weiß, die Sonn ist rot.
Das Mondschaf.

(Christian Morgenstern)

A holdjuh

A holdjuh tág tisztásra jár.
A nagy nappalra várva vár.
A holdjuh.

A holdjuh egy szálat letép,
S esztennájáig lépve lép.
A holdjuh.

A holdjuh álmában beszél:
"Űr űr-sötétje bennem él."
A holdjuh.

A holdjuh reggelre kimúl.
Teste fehér, a nap pirul.
A holdjuh.

 

[Bastet]

that looks really nice that

 

[Light]

Does Mondschaf mean "moon sheep"?

 

[Maqus]

Yes.

I translated it for yous, or rather interpreted it


The Moonsheep stands on starry land
Waiting for the night to end.
The Moonsheep.

The Moonsheep takes a tiny blade
Then heads home to slurp lemonade.
The Moonsheep.

The Moonsheep dreams a cryptic verse:
”My heart’s the darkest universe.”
The Moonsheep.

The Moonsheep dies when dawn is done.
His body’s white, red is the sun.
The Moonsheep.

A holdjuh - i hold you

A holdjuh tág tisztásra jár. i hold you tight though this tie are ajar
A nagy nappalra várva vár. a nagging nappalram blablabla

[Maqus]

I hold you, that's just lovely. Where did you get the pronunciation from? May it be the Finnish line?

 

[breaklose]

[font=Geneva,MS Sans Serif,sans serif][size=-1]death deserved

what have you ruined?
a cloud of betrayal as thoughts creep.
once we savored innocence,
childlike and hand in hand,
but your heart soured.
a sickening cloud of lies -
memories follow memory, follow bitterness,
love bled dry.
in a torrent of righteousness,
i condemn you.
​

[Maqus]

So Holdjuh means das Moonschaf.

The Moonsheep, he holds you tight,
Your brain is buzzed, his eyes are bright.
The Moonjuh.
