In the stillness of a thousand nights I wait
Contemplating my own love to hate
This is an ode for you, my beloved one, Caging your lovers in an intoxicating embrace
How I yearn to make you need me, Half as much as I depend on your solace.
And in the silence of a thousand nights I wait
For you to catch me as I fall from grace
In the quiet of the night you creep, claiming victims as they sleep,
Far away from our world you take them, out of society's reach.
And as for where they go, I am not one to know.
In the sanctuary of a thousand nights I wait,
To catch a glimpse of your sweet face.
Oh how I love to hate,
Loneliness loving esca
When first I arrived; I was fully clothed.
Layers of protection concealing unmarked skin.
Within these barriers I moved rigidly,Ever conscious of the shield
Ever conscious they might break.
Never could I feel an untainted caress,
Always refusing the breath of life from my skin.
Through pinpoints of light I viewed the world;
Distortions, jagged edges, missing pieces.
But within these walls I was safe,
Yet within these walls I was dying.
You came and I felt myself tremble.
Iron bands that had contained me so many years
Loosened under your piercing gaze.
I began to move more fluidly,
Sliding though water, though always contained.
Friends footsteps falling sluggishly in muddy waters,
the sounds I hear at your name send me all aquiver
- I'm rather jumpy you should know-
So now I sit, high in my ivory cell; ink ready and pen poised.
To write my song, to write my tome.
So this ones an ode to You.
Stabbing laughter at the defeated solider, bloodshed battlegrounds.
Old women cries out for her son as the black rain falls like bullets, tink tink, they hit the ground.
So now I stand, in my dugout home, whisper the names that salvage my taste.
To write my song, to write my tome.
So this ones an ode to You.
Sewage line runs underground, and the homeless boy falls thr
Peaceful Days
There are not many times in my life,
Where I can say that I've been at peace.
But today, with you, I was.
Laying with you,
On soft white sheets.
Breathing in your warm, masculine scent.
The mood quickly shifting
One moment, soft, warm, comforting,
Leaving us relishing in a feeling of peace.
Setting us teetering on the edge of sleep,
Prepared to delve in, curling into one another.
Hot skin against hot skin
The next, hot skin causes hot breath.
Fingers that were once lightly tracing
Now take full advantage and movements hint at hunger.
Mouths seek each other out
Conveying our want to one another.
Then just as qui
Fire, deeper than the web of time
Night as black as the absence of mind
The hall of judgement a mass of stone and ignorance
And I, as a leaf in the wind, unable of control
Yet revelling in independent thought
At war with the gods
Hell seems so peaceful now
Heaven a dream best left forgotten
The moon has forsaken a destined martyr
Giving its light to the petty and weak
The stars now shine for no one
Souls left behind without guidance
Purgatory is a listless existence
Loneliness crowding the hallways of time
Black masks the reality of which I once knew
And reality attends a masquerade ball

The Gravejumper's Floor
I quietly approached apartment 664
65 across the hallway, 66 to the left of me
But my eyes are fully focused on his door
The golden 4 shining slightly in the gloom
Hollow knocking overflows my mind
As I switch foot to foot waiting some time
Just as I am about to walk away
The door opens and a pale hand beckons me to stay
I head into the apartment of the Gravejumper
His eyes are molten green as he openly stares at me
He looks so surprised under that raven hair
As it brushes his forehead, shielding from his sins
Reflected in deep eyes better belonging to an innocent fae
He probably felt sure he wasn't going to see me after yesterda
Leaving me down in the dark, you wanted to be my savior?
Little did you know that you were not my first flavor.
You say I am so high and mighty, a real righteous being.
It's obvious that you are wrong, I have no feeling.
Didn't I tell you not to get involved?
I did
Didn't I tell you not to hold me?
I did
Didn't I tell you I would hide, and just to forget me?
Shows how much you listen.
For your own sake, take this into thought, leave me here to rot.

Confessions of a Strange Mind
I would like to believe that you did not leave,
That yes your still here by my side,
I would like to believe that there is a reason to live,
Until then this life I will deride.
(Dont stop to remember, just forget, leave nothing behind and nothing to regret.)
I think I must confess,
That im innocently deviant,
And that my head is just a mess,
Its this intoxicating blessing,
Shackles of spirits are never resting,
There is no more use in repressing,
And that my head is just a mess,
I like the shadows silken devilish caress.
(Dont say you love me, thats too easy to forget, leave and take away with you not one regret.)

This Accursed Place :song:
In this kingdom of white paint and plaster,
With its never ending emptiness,
The walls spin ever faster,
Making all the condemned restless.
Where am I? Where am I? Cant believe Im here.
Im stuck in another terminate high.
Living a permanent lie.
Permanent lie.
Lie....
In this damned place of padded yellow walls,
With its safety scissor arts and crafts,
Not a single room has a window to the outside world,
But everyone is observed though gold fish tanks of glass.
Where all the people smile, (They do)
But because Im a charity case, (Its true)
Constant kindness all the while, (They do)
To mask their disgusted face. (Its true)

Don't Speak: Ode to a Traitor
I wish this person were here to read this, but I'm gonna say it anyway.
You and me used to be together,
everyday together always.
I really feel like I'm losin my best friend.
I can't believe this could be the end.
I looked up to you, confided in you...and you let me down. I laugh at the word friend.
It looks as though, your letting go, and if its real well I don't want to know.
You told everyone my secrets, all of them. You made them repulsed by my being. You promised you would'nt...you promised.
Don't speak, I know just what your sayin
so please stop explaining, don't tell me cause it hurts.
Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin
Blood Embraced
Downpours of sorrow bring forth a flood,
a gushing, constant flow of blood.
Washing away everyone's dried tears,
while yet, reminding them of other fears.
Blood, forever the true water of life,
but no one would ever believe such tripe,
as they're eyes grow wide, their faces ripe.
they want to end it, but have only a dull knife.
It lets us continue, and flows through our veins,
yet they all think darkness holds its reins.
Blood, forever the true water of life,
no matter whom it is holding the scythe.
"The Game"
When will you tell her of your nightly endeavors?
All the times, the things you do to her sleeping flesh.
When will she learn of the scars, the scars you are making?
And every night you play the same game.
At first it was a tumble, a little nick here or there.
But soon you grew too greedy, and disfigured her face.
And when she woke you told her she had fallen down the stairs,
Is this how you always play your affairs?
When will you tell her of your nightly endeavors?
All the times, the things you do to her sleeping flesh.
When will she learn of the scars, the scars you are making?
And every night you play the same game.

Her Broken Wings::Terra
Her body…it seemed to flow, like waves of the ocean. Her hair was like the sun, and she tossed it back with out a care, letting her green eyes sparkle in the sifted light. She was always so happy, that smile…it dazzled, made you feel if the walls that surrounded us has melted away.
She would hug me, in the soft spot just above my waist, press her hips into me and fill me with her joy.
"Someday…we'll get out of here. We'll run away, and be happy."
In those distant evenings, right before they rounded us back into our rooms, we would always run to the little dark spot under the stairs. Our little getaway, she would run her fingers through my
You, creature of the night
Mastermind of how the heart dances
And how the brain commences
Your sensitivity to your own emotions
Fools others into thinking that you will be gentle to theirs likewise
A trap undetectable until you choose to strike
Doubt does not build to make trust an issue
Until you scathe their trust till it can no longer be put into use
Their never wanting to give themselves over to anyone again
No vast amount of blood pouring from the error in safety
Being introduced to the side of the skin it never knew
Could waver your fangs, in an act of sympathy
From the wound, which as a child of your self-indulgence
You wo

Dancing Without Movement
This is not a moment
This is a masterpiece created by the most talented
Of artists existing as and living in the unseen
No picture frame I would be able to find
Would be worthy to tell the tale
Of this view I have of you
Fastening melody into the air of this night
And everything I can ever recollect you being
Digests everything that I ever foolishly desired you to be
Everything that I have critisized you for
Becomes unknown to me now
The negativity proves its case
But I must adjourn anything
That would persuade me from the power of your presence
For even if I have to overlook many key elements of your persona
There's a miracle
Indeed, stars aglow in their effulgence, we sought our destiny...
Through paths, through worlds...so much to see, so much to feel...
Yet the foreboding thought of being forgotten looms above...
What is like to feel the loss of your destiny?
Sorrowful? Angst? Hatred?
My collages of reminisciences...in its everlasting pace...
Fills my soul....allowing me to remember...so much that I dreamed...
Fluttering like butterflies intertwining about a single rose...
Wilting petals that told birth...age...death...
That single bloom bursting from buds of hope...in its effacing memory...
The fine threads of golden web...that tied us to this world

:confused: But what's an Ode?
An ode is an exalted lyric poem, aiming at loftier thought, more dignified expression, and more intricate formal structure than most lyrics.
Lets dumb that down a bit...
Basically, an ode is a
