Pretty proud of this one haha Enchantress Walk the stairs, through haze All round the temple The temple of time and phase Home to the archaic enchantress Step forth lightly Step forth strong Step forth mindful For she sings the sweetest song Go forward now with yesterday far behind and today staring you hard in the eye She will thrust you through Through to the other side Swimming the oceans of time She will smile her grin so white Her bosom so bare Will heave with a mighty weight The weight of unremitting aeons Her hair so angelic will dance freely in the air so thick Her eyes will color the walls The steam from her baths begin to luminesce Her effervescent beauty draws your breath away Only her scent so sweet Draws you astray Feel her now Feel her up and down She begins her ritual Bodies pressed and muscles tensed She enters your body She enters your mind Consuming your every pore She laughs with vanity She laughs with hunger She will give you what you need Tonight, the enchantress will feed
Very vivid, I like! It reminded me a bit of a section of a book called "American Gods." Though after line 25, all I could think of was this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFM3p2ACelY
Shelter I need a place to lay a place to call my home Somewhere to rest my head a place I can call my own Someone by my side to hold me in their arms Warm to the core safe from harm But here I walk out in the cold Trudging along Growing restless Growing old Time passes along blowing through breeze Someone find me here Please, find me soon I tread this beaten path Guided by the moon
Seas of Peace Drink from effervescent pool glowing deep and blue Mist hangs in the air drowning out all despair Feel her skin Caress her hair Kiss away the night on shores so fair Water falls Water flows They sing so sweetly the stars seem to dance but the aeons keep watch with archaic eyes So lay your head Dream at ease Drift along on seas of peace
Yeah, gonna spam this shit outta my thread here lol. Anyways, this one is a pretty blunt piece. Have at it. Black Shores The river runs red with the blood of the innocent Indoctrinate those who know no better Toes buried in sand so black Insight and empathy resufaces blind and dull Prying eyes lose all bounds Logic and reason washed away Moral is preached through crooked teeth Hypocritical speech so cocksure By my eyes it seems to me the holy man is the only one unable to hold his ground
^Haha thanks guys, pretty easy to tell where the inspiration for that one came Fields of Time I walk along without an end golden grass As far as the eye can see Blues skies over head Clouds laze along The warm breeze brushes by gently caressing my face The plains slowly move beneath my feet though the horizon never draws any nearer But I'm content as long as the sun shines on I will hike on through these fields of time Nothing in site Nowhere to go What lies up ahead there's only one way to know
The last line kinda took me out of it. The change from narrating from the first person, to talking directly to the reader was a bit jarring to me. But otherwise, I really liked it! Really diggin' the imagery with this one.
You make an interesting point, sir. I might have to change that now. Edit: I changed it up to something that I really like a lot better. Thanks Gibs!
Pretty personal piece this one. I hope you guys find as much meaning as I did. I am alive Will I ever find what I’ve been looking for? Will I ever let loose these chains? These chains of my own device I am alive I am alive I’m the one who adorned you with the crown that rests upon your head but it’s time I took it back I am my own antagonist But its time I became my own queen There is a light somewhere in these dark halls There is a beauty somewhere in these haunted forests My identity lies somewhere in this temple of trees I will find myself I will bask in its warmth as it brings me in with open arms as I welcome myself into the rule of my own life
Voices in the Night I’m so scared I’m not where I’m supposed to be The words of hollow voices echo as they bounce off empty space I look for the path once lit by my heart’s desire The light faded long ago Now I wander through the dark wondering where my dreams lay Do they call? Do they cry? It’s all drowned out by shallow guidance I look to the stars to lead me home I will find my way by the direction of the falling rain Somewhere my hope lights up the horizon So please call on my sweet dreams my heart longs for your voice to see the clouds lit ablaze by your hopeful glow Sing through the night Sing unto the sunrise I will search I will find you I will go without rest Until I lay in your arms In your warmest embrace
