On WingsOfPoetry! (Latest: Deserved Damnation) - WingsOfStardust - 11-19-2012
I do a bit of creative writing and poetry, thought I should share something that fits the setting! Also, I was going for something Tim Burton-ish - success or not? (Best read with Johnny Depps voice from Sweeney Todd)
Sinister with a tad of creative.
My dreams, my dreams, he said.
They are so vivid and alive, he claimed,
Such stories to behold, and yet,
Perils of the soul, a broken mind so maimed.
I watch you scream and gasp for air,
Such delightfully sinister, naive, adorable,
Crying, yelling for help, as I tighten the snare,
Crack, snap, cut, rip, I'll make you memorable.
Tick tock, tick tock, spins the arms of a clock!
Here there, there here, I watch it all with a sneer!
Ravens and rats will know of your woe!
As they'll feast on your flesh, bones and eyes!
They say, you reap what you sow!
So stop hiding behind all those lies!
The crimson does not lie,
It's the liquid of truth and tell,
Oh my, oh my, it looks like you'll die,
With no other place to go, than hell!
Pray tell, we'll see each other there?
Hope you get well... but that's surely impossible, swell!
Going to hell... that is, I hear is not quite the bliss.
But since you are first in line, you know, since I severed your spine? (Oops)
I hope you don't mind... ponderously I think, and looking from behind,
I should get this down on ink.
Oh my oh my, are you even paying attention? -- Is that a fly?
Oh my, you attract them already, you've always been so rotten,
perhaps I forgot to mention...
Oh well, oh well, it's all been swell and well,
with me at least, not you...
since, you know -- that what you reap, you sow? Justifications in tow!
Good bye, I'll see you when I die.

"A shadows redemption"
I will dirty my tainted hands, with crimson,
So you don't have to, and forever remain clean.
I will paint with a brush of steel, violent strokes,
Make deep cuts and slashes, forever lost in sin.
I will use my soul as the stake, to pierce,
The heart of evil, and break the shackles of will.
Selfishly redeem myself through you, as martyr,
My new-found purpose, for whom myself I'm willing to kill.
So waste not your tears on me, as I take my final breath,
But rejoice as I've died without regret and with meaning.
Forever shall I be your shadow, watching your step,
Protect you from harm and the wicked, as you lay dreaming.
*Inspired by actual in-game events.*

Deserved Damnation
Fear, they will know fear as I extinguish the sun and turn the sky charcoal black,
Panic, they will know panic as I spread the cold touch of death in a final attack.
They will see their fault, realize their end and damnation, this I've sworn,
They will see there is no escape, no salvation, that all hope is at last forlorn.
Despair you fools, your mortal shell and coward gods won't save you now,
Anguish and writhe in sorrow, you lost, take your final bow.
Fall on your knees, or bleed for the pointless strife you befall upon your mortal flesh,
Do it now, before I change my mind, while my patience is still somewhat fresh.
I am waiting for you to plead, and beg, and cry, and hoping I'll let you die,
Realize, you are nothing more than a speck, a spot, a stain, a fly.
Know that this Deserved Damnation, is your own,
I'm just here to help, you, reap what you've all sown.
