Well, here goes...

Panoply
Had just laid down my head
And already thoughts of you hover 'bove my bed
Had just sat down atop the sill
But your gorgeous eyes they haunt me still
The eclipse is calling out its plea
That dark light resonating pure in me
Push through the panes and smile wide
Glowing shadows and ready to fly
And if my wings can't let me fly,
The tides will take me by and by
And then I sank below the waves
All thoughts of you will drift away
So weightless, I no longer swim
Thier icy fingers take me in
Thier face a naive, loveless hue
Stumbling hands can never compare to you
I push away, fall like a rock
Sinking down deep into the fog
I run as far as I can stand
Into the billowing mist, I take your hand
With angels wings we lift above
Dancing with praise but never love
Envelope the darkness, as we collide
But there's still the wall we can never divide
Sing to your ears,
Dread the silence I fear
Look up to the signs when the message is sent
The Neon that flashes blinds the thoughts they had meant
Crawl up to the brick and ascend to be hid
Shun all the world that cared not what you bid
Drag across the splinters 'till I reach what I need
I realize my stupidity as, like crucified, I bleed
Exhausted I know it's time to fall
As wailing, you begin to call
The hills have wrapped me up within
When inside my eyes, the cogs begin
I'm starting to grieve what I've become
But it's too late, the dreams begun
When soon it's the end and I am through
At least the last thing I'll see is you...

I love this poem! I was almost in a trance as I read it and it made me feel so much! And I like the title! Interesting word choice. Very nicely done!

Thank you very much

I've decided to post my lyrics on evboard, but I'm going to post each song seperately, as I would like each to be viewed seperately.
This is one that I have written, called Marketable Dreams. It's so far unfinished, but tell me what you think so far

Marketable Dreams
Billions of silver stars are falling,
falling down on cymbals crashing
Resounding with the band,
That is playing endlessly only for me
While I'm screaming, rasping:
"Is anybody listening?"
They're hearing,
Oh, but they're never really listening
They're just staring at the screen
As the blackness eats thier eyes
And they're singing without thinking,
belting out that toneless ringing
that only I can hear
Those bloody hornets won't stop
Burning in my ears
And when I swat them away
I just get blazing stares
I don't see anyone standing in my checkout line

Well, thats all that there is so far, like I said, unfinished.

Freedom Glimpse

Help me, I'm falling into eternity
Their swollen hands will never stop it
With their chalk and oils
Painting unto me
Black wedding
paired with a painted picture of insanity(may be repeated at end)

I will
As I watch them
Bloody eyes
To stare at them from the rooftops
Clawing me out of me
Until it's bruised and open
The sores will keep weeping
Until the x's fade away
They will never fade away

My pen is running wild
My hand is staying still
I'm engaged.
You never were there were you?
My Mind feels like a snowbank
One I'm stuck under
I'm naked numb
Please draw me back to my blackboard safehold

I may be walking through the halls
But it feels more like I've been plastered inside the walls
I'm engaged.
So who's left to wage my raging war?
I think they'd rather roll the dice
They've all been pinned under the microscope
Well I'd rather not go under!

There is no action and consequence
There is no trial and error
Why don't you paint it red?
I've got enough pain in my head
And I've let it out
It's spilling out
and I'm just drifting on the waves
Belt Out My Song
I hope you bleed
Your bloody ears out
I hope you choke and sputter
Breathe my sight
I'm engaged.
I'll run inside the walls
I'm sick of screaming
It's been a deadly hide and seek

kk, didnt know that

I love Marketable Dreams! I would love to see it finished. I liked the second one, especially the ending
"I'm engaged.
I'll run inside the walls
I'm sick of screaming
It's been a deadly hide and seek"

Nice job. I like reading your work!

Thank you! Marketable Dreams is kinda just random word doodlings, but I'm sure I'll have it finished sometime. Freedom Glimpse was inspired by a story about this castle I stayed at during the summer. The story was that, while the castle was under construction, some children were playing hide and seek and a little girl went inside the wall, thinking it would be a good hiding spot. She stayed in there for a long time, and no one found her. She didnt think to come out because she didn't know whether the game was over or not. When she did decide to come out, she found that the opening in the wall she had crawled through wasn't there anymore! The construction workers had finished the wall while she was in there! She stayed in the walls for the rest of her life, scratching constantly on the inside of the walls and screaming for someone to let her out, but no one ever did. That story really creeped me out. Add in some personal stuff, and BAM! I made a song Will post more soon!

Wow. That's a creepy story. I see how it could be inspiring. Now I read it in a whole different way, knowing the inspiration behind it. And castles rock.
