Forever in the Dark
forever in the dark
never to see the light of day again
to wander about with no sense of direction
utter feelings of loss and chaos fill the mind
wondering of purpose on this earth
to take his loss as a sin to his life
never to understand such trechery
fear fills the heart at times
times when the sight of color and life seem to fade and allude the mind
detached from what made life wonderful to bear
although this lifetime was dark and not a happy one
to have the last hope taken away burns
shot down and left to die during battle
the heat attacking skin upon stone
searching for strength to go on
when not having anything to live for
no one to touch this dreay soul
to bring it back to life and peace
although peace was something never truly known nor owned
adjusting to a life without love and sight
bits of sanity seem to fade
regrets pulling at the heart strings
life and warmth bleed out from the battle wounds
feeling faint and to wonder about death
will death be wonderful as one imagined it to be?
swift, soft, fast, and yet relaxing
finally to leave from here and never look back
if that what fate has intended
senses seem to blur and intensify with the loss of sight
lights seem to flicker about and taunt
anger and vengence seems to come to mind
only thing that made one feel alive again
that feeling of adrenaline and excitement
having to be on guard for one's life
not much it seems but it would have to do
until one can think of something, of a purpose
might as well get used to the fact
the fact that that this one would have to carry for the rest of his life
sheldon jeffery sands must remain forever in the dark
with a soul so dark, how long can he truly last?
Mortal Love
he loved the untouchable dearly
she was beautiful beyond compare to anyone he's met
she is an angel to him
for she makes him feel normal, bringing sanity back into his life
that and what it's like to love and be loved in return
she does not question of where's he's been
only cares for what kind of person he is
she knows how to soothe his pain
make him forget the scars of the past
his love has scares too
so with ease it is to help heal her in return
to understand her, you must understand her strong will
and what estranges her from the rest
for others to touch her soul had been stolen from her long ago
to which no mortal should have to go through
her uniqueness made her suffer and desire
the deep desire for true solice and love
these elements have been denied to her for so long
it hurts him so to see her in pain
of something that will never go away
but with good fortune and finding the time to care and open up
they find she can touch again
only catch is that it can only be the undead
the immortal blood drinkers of the earth
vampires can be ruthless and violent
to which makes her wonder and fear
but she does not fear her love
for she knows that his feelings are true
and his intentions are pure of heart
traits to which are rare amongst the immortals of earth
vera: this poem goes with my "interview with the vampire" story that i told you about earlier. the poem sounds a bit crappy and needs work in some places, but at least i tried. let me know what you think when you get back to kmc! 😄
A Love For All Seasons
a rose that flourishes by night
if the sun were to shine
the petals turn to ashes
water does not make this flower grow
only to wilt and falter
a rose very delicate in the making
life sustains in the shadows
treat the flora with care
for it has emotions just like us
petals bloom when the flower is shown love
thorns will prick if betrayed
to stand out in the bouquet
to be seen and tended to is wonderful
the skies and the heavens are such a long ways off
the rose desiring to meet it
yet, the safe haven can wait another day
for the comfort of spring
and passion of summer are devine
throw caution to forthcoming autumn and winter
for they don't look kindly upon the warmth
meaning theft to the cold, harsh winds it blows
winter threatening summer to let the rose go
alas, the snow falls during sunny days
neither side giving in nor victorious
an almighty battle between the polar seasons
a great war rages of a heart much desired
sadly, the rose will never return to winter
flora would rather wilt than live to see another storm
too many days remembered of those
thorns raised high when in the presense of jealous winter
nothing to be done about the polars
to end this would mean death
the rose ever wonders if this life had all been worth it
to struggle for a love so great with summer
but knowing at the same time
that it couldn't last this lifetime
what is this flora to do?
caught between envy and the flames strick the rose
mother earth has made her choice
do what the others could not
many heavy rain clouds fill the skies above
to shower the water of their grief
summer and winter must now suffer the consequences
the rose's color fades like rushing water
nothing they can do to turn back the tide
once this flower wilts to ashes
their lover would be gone as they know it
a breeze flows by to whisper final farewells to the dearly cherished
petals and thorns scatter across the earth
somehow, the rose manages to forgive winter
and vows to never forget her summer's love
with the rose finally out of their lives
summer and winter will continue to resent each other
for they must spend their reign in dreary weather
sunny days and clear skies would be difficult to find within' them
will their hearts close and rage go on forever and never to end?
never will there ever be a rose quite like this one
no other flowers could compare
oh, why must the cherished by wasted upon the insolent?
to vera when you read this: this poem here has a lot of metaphors. the seasons and weather all symbolize themes and characters in my forthcoming vampire story. which is the prequel to van helsing fanstory. here are the translations:
Spoiler:
rose: cassandra black/illyria (mind assassin)
summer/spring - gabriel van helsing
winter/autumn - count dracula
mother earth - fate
weather and the descriptions of types of weather - emotions occuring
thorns - negative emotions
petals/bloom - love and happiness (duh! lol)
well, i hope you and everyone else loves and reviews this poem! 😄 it's great insight into my upcoming vamp. story. i can't wait to get to work on the real story and include the poem as a header/starter for it.
see ya around later tonight,
Sodapop Allerdyce the Sane Psycho
