Conflagration, by me, of course (V.C.D.A.)

LET THE OLD DREAM DIE

When we were young the sky was often closer

My hands could reach all the stars and my mind was a rover

Sunshine kept always trying, but the night was my sole lover

Life had no limits, under the sparkling dark I had a cover

Then we grew old enough to find out the clouds just got colder

The thunder is everlasting while fortune threatens to be over

Joy was chased away and my humble hope sunk lower

I aimed to the top, battled to become the best whilst sober

I had the opportunities, though my decisions seemed to hover

I crossed the way of perdition to expire my religion

I learned to let go of addiction even to undress my soul of ammunition

The world couldn’t help turning into a mere absurd fiction

Embittered, I stumbled upon my fate’s eviction

Sorrowed, I embraced the irony of contradictions

Distressed, existence became the source of my greatest affliction

Charmed by emptiness I erased all convictions

Quiet and balanced I discovered the fortress of benediction.

I gave up and ceased to pursue fate’s rendition

It belongs to no human’s jurisdiction.

There’s no death in this lost dimension

Vitality is the form of the heart’s extension

No one is in sin for there’s no unreachable redemption

Immortality is the language we speak without freedom’s exemption

Here lies the land of the liberated, the closest path to elation

A symphony of vibrating notes builds a tension

Resonating among the living that never heard of apprehension

Screams and cries touch a heaven used for ascension

Where angels and demons hold the secret of the soul’s invention

The melody called eternity can be heard with attention

Though a dance of noises releases a gush of lamentation

Silence whispered to me a name

Of a person with no face

Dragged down and held down by a dream of disgrace

A shattered memory that suddenly evolved in a burst of flames

As a newborn Phoenix I became a bird too tough to tame

Soon I flapped wings fairly high to set the dawn ablaze

But sometimes I see myself caught in a maze

Detached from feelings and some lost warmth I cannot place

Life burns in me as a bonfire though my light has faded.

Looking for an inspiration_updates (more about me)

OK! Today I'm letting you know a bit more about what's goin' on with my life!:) I haven't been around much lately. Yes, it's sad but true. I can't do several things at the same time, and when I'm pressured, my writing sucks, it's a fact. Actually I'm having lots of things to deal with at the moment, not only at work or college, but some relationships of mine are being threatened by death. Few people I know, those I can consider friends and those who play a great role in my life are pretty sick or simlpy drifting away. Many matters of the heart to take care of, so you see, I guess my literay productian was a bit cast aside, unfortunately. But I'm still alive and kicking, rhyming something here, composing something there...In a supernaturally slow pace, I must add. Not having much fun lately, obviously. Movies, mangas, music and designing were put in second place. Above all I miss playing my acoustic guitar sometimes, and I know that if I don't

Momentous

Now I quietly left my stone cave I think I feel a bit less heartsick I do not scare myself anymore I have grown out of my hardships I look at the sun instead of the moon I won over defeat with a hard kick I smile even when my lips quiver I learnt to endure and slowly resist I chose writing instead of weeping I challenged depression warships I move on with my brand new cloak I now wear heavy layers of lordship My hands are made of unbreakable steel Though surrounded by trembling thunders I often manage to stay firm on my heels Tomorrow I might even be six feet under I am constantly preparing my last meal My mind no longer frets or slumber At any second, I might face life’s ordeals Each joy and adventure I shall plunder I now control both struggle and repeal Lately I am eager to satisfy a hunger That once made me suffer and squeal Yesterday I was prey, now I am hunter Behold the one and only taking the wheel My fists can make

"Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dying?"

Foreverafter Dammed be eternity Which cursed and sentenced my eyes to witness the lives of those whom I love, be reduced to dust I watch them born, I behold them die I wait as they grow up and also grow old I see their flaws, see they work them out I observe their passions, laugh when they fall hard I appreciate their growing light, their cheerful enthusiasm Their foolish dreams, their uncertain paths Their worthless greed and senseless wars Their pitiful regret and countless faults I respect their obsessions, their hunger for possessions Their fear of damnation and unstoppable seek for salvation I understand their pain, I mourn for their losses I listen to their whims, rejoice with their noises I grieve for their bad deeds, when they burn alive the seas Then they amaze me again, with their charm and impeccable smile But then later I inevitably cry for a while, when they infallibly start to run out of time.
