I'll start off. I know I'm not good.




Made of solidified virtue

Elongate wing that does not fly

Inexplicable trails of reluctance

Sight set high on aetheric skies



Prayers to Odin and Tyr went unanswered

Landing madness distempered their cries

Whose dream is told in laughter?

Whose hope is unsatisfied still?



The strive to relinquish the adamant bind

Palm writ entries of variance

Took dominion over anomalous mind

Trudging a path of radiance



Mania became the purest celebration of joy

When chaos nature disintegrated into love

My one winged heart again took flight

To ethereal course up above
 
I write poetry too sometimes just for catharsis, but am wayyy too much of a pussy to post it up here haha. kudos to you though for doing it, it's not easy to share that kind of stuff (i'm not an expert but yours seems pretty good), the closest i get to actually sharing something is maybe band lyrics but that's different.
 
a lyric from one of my songs, called "To the Bottom"

miles wide at the edge
black depths fathomless
immeasurable vacuum cycling
'tis not the time for the fall

fate has been sealed
destiny is calling
so begins the smothering
resistance is futile
woe be unto the victim unfortunate

faster and faster
where is beginning and end?
nothing but the sound and chaos
of this descending infinite

this is no illusion
this is not imagination
this is no nightmare
this is far worse

the perpetual black nothing
screams of vain
only intensifying the fall
the flailing of limbs
only intensifying the fall
no end in sight
 
I don't need a friend
I don't want lovers
Like the CIA,
I work under covers

Drop the act
Don't be a flirt
Drop your panties
and lift up your skirt

I'm horny
And you just want to play
You're boring
Have a nice day

What made you think
My body's like yours?
I don't want to cuddle
I want to get on the floor

I ask you to leave
if it's not your intent
Otherwise, over my table
is where you'll get bent

I'm horny
And you just want to play
You're boring
Have a nice day

I'm leaving
I won't waste my time
You're ugly
You're all I could find.
 
And my mind flies from the wake

To frigid mountains and frozen lakes

For my heart lies not in this foreign sand

But long ago in a northern land



This is a love yet lost to me

Ancestral calling, aching longing

Who set us to this scathing heat?

Who's course set sail for Western speech?



If I could be assured the stars

Are the same I'd look upon, afar

Glimmering strong and filled with hope

I would wish only for a way back home
 
Amongst havoc, I find calamity on your behalf
On the ground we walk, in the air we breath
Though the mist of unknowing clouds my view
You are as a beacon, guiding my redemption

My fangs became as shields
Reserved for those who would do you harm
Englightened by the joy I found
My primal instincts changed under caprice

I would ask only to know you
Your laughter warms my heart
Though my thoughts are expeditious
I would battle the world to see you smile
 
Loving you
Is easy because you're beautiful....
Making love with you
Is all I want to do....
Loving you
Is more than just a dream come true....
And everything that I do
Is out of loving you....
 
The lyrics to a song Im working on calle "The Last Love"

Her black cloak
Her pale hands
Her lethal stride
Ive glimpsed them before

Her cold touch
Her breathless voice
Her eternal smile
Tonight I will long for them no more

The moon is her face
The night is her body
The trees are her hands
The Earth is her womb
The rocks are her bones
The fire her eyes
She is our world!
She is demise!

Come to me again
Let us dance into oblivion
The earth reclaims my body
As my soul departs with death

As we dance, higher and higher
(I hold her) she holds my heart, it burns like fire
Beyond the stars, past creation
There lies our destination

Away from the world infernal
A temple of love eternal
On the altar of damnation
I find salvation

It is done
We are one
We see without eyes
We are lifes demise

The moon is our face
The night is our body
The trees are our hands
The Earth is our womb
The rocks are our bones
The fire our eyes
We are damnation!
We are damnation!
