Out of curiosity, have anyone (other than Vintersorg himself :)) written some poems?
I can't believe none of you have, so is there anything shareable to the rest of us?
 
@oyo: Now that's a good one ;)

I know there are some here (several) who's written song lyrics, at least. I have not. (Well, some poems, but not any to share here....)
 
I am studying literature and we read a lot of poetry
it's very fucking hard to write a poem
that's why I don't even try
I have written like 4 short stories or so
 
I wrote about 20 poems back in high school (and only 1 was for an assignment). They're quite crappy in retrospect. Actually, I haven't read them since '96. I should give it a go sometime. http://www.imsa.edu/~rdroth/poem/

I've also written 1.25 stories. The first was started my senior year in high school when I was in a similar situation as DWD is in now. :cry: 53,000 words later, I finally got me a woman (not because of the story). And then I tried continuing the story (in my "second book"), but that didn't work too well.
Both of these can be found at: http://www.imsa.edu/~rdroth/story/

And I've started working on a story based on a dream that was prompted by a Burial CD I bought when I was in Switzerland last November. But that hasn't gotten too much attention from me since January because I got caught up in other side projects. Not available on line. Hopefully I can finish it by October...
 
One of mine...
Sorry it's in french ...if someone understand it...i hope he'll like



APPARITION SYLVAINE


Comme un étranger, je hante au hasard ces lieux
Je te cherche du regard, oh toi mon ange du soir
Me penchant sur cette eau où se reflètent les cieux
J'entrevois ton visage, qui meurt dans ce miroir

Ton bruissement d'ailes me surprend, si près de moi...!
Je me retourne alors, immobile et tendu
L'obscurité m'entoure, m'aveugle, si loin de toi....!
Laisse moi te retrouver, oh ma douce ingénue

Courrant sous le regard inquiet de la forêt
Je dépasse vivement branches, fourrés et bosquets,
Poursuite éfreinnée de cette ombre qui me fuit.

Quand au détour d'une clairière, enfin je la vit
Cette ange, portait en son sein les flammes de la vie !
Elle pleurait doucement, sous le ciel de minuit.
 
i'm tryin to do it morgana....but my english is so poor !
Anyway this pome doesn"t have a very strong meaning, but it is more a work on "sonnet" (don't know the word in english, poems with 4 + 4 +3 +3 paragraphs) style.
 
I made an english version....sorry for the grammar mistakes etc =(



As a stranger, i haunt randomly these places of horror
I search for you with my glance, oh angel of my evening
Leaning myself on this water where heavens reflect in
I catch a glimpse of your face, wich dies in this mirror

Your murmur of wings surprises me, so close
[to me...!
I turn around, motionless and tense
The darkness surrounds me, blinds me, so far from you....!
Let me to find you again, oh my sweet "ingénue"

Running under the worried glance of the forest
I pass deeply beyond branches, undergrowth and thicket,
Frantic pursuit of this shadow which avoids my light.

When at a clearing's center, I finally saw her
This angel, carried the flames of life within her !
She cried slowly, under the sky of midnight...
 
Here's one of mine in German. It's not too good, but one of my better ones.


November / Eingeäscherter Frieden

Durch blassen Himmel
Fliegt eine einsame Krähe
Klagt ihr Leid, ungehört
Verhallt in den Schwaden

Stille kehrt ein
Auf herbstlichem Hügel
Doch stumme Geschichten
Erzählen die Gräber

Eine Weise erklingt
Aus ungekannter Tiefe
Zögernd und schaudernd
Dringt sie ans Ohr

Wissen empfängt
Wer willig, zu hören
Und willig, zu sehen
Das Alte im Herbst

Lebendes Sterben
An welkendem Baum
Hing, um zu sehen
Seinen eigenen Tod

Nun ruht es alles
Unter dämpfender Decke
Ein Schrei der Krähe
Weckt niemanden mehr
 
I've written a precious few myself, here's one. I think I've written 4 powems or so over the past 6 months, I really can't get myself to write anything if I'm not inspired. But when inspiration jumps all over me, I can't sit still, I have to write something down.

WARNING: It's a tad lenghty.

For as long as I've lived,
I've been searching for you
Way deep inside me
to find me, the true

The one and the only,
whom I just might be
But sometimes I'd never think
I'd find the real me

You ran from me always
still I've felt you near
Wherever I've went
I've kepty you in here

When I realized
who I actually were
None of my "friends"
would longer come near

The false showed their faces,
left me in the dark
Still I am not grieving,
their betrayal left no mark

I now embrace darkness
as that's where I belong
I hope more will awaken
and join in the song

Of the many, the honest,
who show what they are,
and leave all prejudice,
now that is the bar

Which keep us from power,
the army of true
We're many, and good,
far too good for you!

For you that might read this
does not show your true face,
you follow your leader,
you live in a haze

You're many, you sheeple,
too many for us
But we are the greatest,
the strongest, and thus,

We'll never succumb
to your devilish game
of follow the leader,
it's all a great shame

I look to the past,
take wisdom from those
Who passed on before me
It's like a black rose

A beauty in my eyes,
to you, not at all
You live in the present,
No, you don't live at all

I live for one leader,
that leader is me!
But I live in the darkness,
for stupid is he

Who charge on the masses
of blind and of dumb
for though he is greater
he too must succumb

To power in numbers,
and therefore we wait
till we too are legion
Till we unleash our hate

Yes, all you keep holy,
what's greatest today
Will break 'fore your eyes
and then, we shall say

"Be calm, don't worry,
for what have you lost?
Your nature is simple,
see, what we have tossed

straight into oblivion,
tomorrow would still
by you be forgotten,
so trust me, you will

not even remember
in one hundred years
your culture have never
cried too many tears."

My people are living
in darkness today
We see all its beauty,
thus night becomes day

In our eyes it's beauty,
when all things are black.
For then, and then only,
are we in the sack

of magic and wonders,
where all things are good
in our world evil men
don't wear no hood

Or black capes or trenchcoats,
the evil is YOU
who keep us supressed with your
numerous crew

So follow the leader
and flock to the plains
Just know that one day
your blood
is what rains.
