Malady Of A Mad Magus

So now it's time I walk away
Of darkness and sadness as they roll into one
So pity my price as I splice life no more
Of payment much too late but never let be

And our Faith be one and strong but could be
But neither so buried of gold in the sky
Of feisty almighty of cloudy contentments
But never so sturdy be in fined understanding

Yet for what I am shedding all these tears be now for?
Tell me wherefore thy bait never flies in the bytes?
But vines in the binds never bleed in the twilight?
Why am I singing in this moonlight once again?

So be it, I'm tired of this human milady by shady
So fakey my flakey might notwithstood all woofy
Too fluffy my duffy in dining propriety?
So what if you think there's hate all around me?

So whack all you want for this madman is gone!
No fiery cowrie from pining so kindly
On tooting for looting my heart they made carcass
And maybe my God would take care of them now?

Okay, good enough to eat for now!

Something For The Pain

So where do I go from here
After what happened in the evening of desire?
Would things may not happen again as like always?
Or would I be forced to count my blessings for once?

Ah, so thus passes by another damned sigh
So yawning and pretty as Graces in the sky
Feels sweet but so true it all be this false
But failing so miserably my pain-scarred heart

Yes so thus passes another wet dreams
Of success and fame that may or may not be taken out of context again
Maybe it's so obvious that I'm living this dream out of all the wrong reasons?
Or maybe I'm the one who shouldn't be so condemning?

But, ah, whatever, wherever, and whys and wherefores
I'm not so here to condemn my bored breathers
But so be it, I say, of to die in the waiting
Or maybe, just maybe there is no maybe!

Bah, after all the reasons of pain-turned-to-gold that I could offer
None may be as so wise as to breathe on its own!
For filly so nilly this silly vanilli or something like that
Or maybe I should just shut up and enjoy the lemons for once!

Heh, as if I understood what I wrote this time...heheheh!

The Dreamer's Sigh

(Taken from my still unpublished sci-fi/fantasy novel "Echoes In The Wind Trilogy")

"Flickering candles being blown by the wind
Under the cold dawn of yesterday's skies
Wishing the great sun would come
Drenching its light to the world…

Flickering candles I held in my hands
As I stood still with cold tears in my eyes
So soft and sacred the whispers of stars
Clinging the songs of all hope
Onto the altars of peace…

Flickering candles that glowed in my face

Still as the shadows my wandering mind
Yet I still know of all hearts
Filled to the brim with the light…

Flickering candles I need it no more

When my heart opens like flowers at dawn

Riding the wind to the rainbow of morn
As I recite all my love
An ode to the days in the sun…

Flickering candles my heart and my soul
Under the cold dawn my fears be no more

Then the great sun starts to rise
Shining the path to the skies…"

Alone In The City 2: Under The Vermillion Streetlights

Nothing much there is to begin the telling
Of how things have not seen enough of changes since I got here
But here, and now, there is emptiness alas
As empty as I stare at these unforgiving streetlights
So bright yet so lifeless, so flooding yet so tearful
As easygoing winds flicker in and out through my consciousness
As I am one, but am I worth it to be alone?

Please, amass no more of your anxiety!
Bury them now someplace else far, far away and then leave this place!
I heard someone said
For there is no peace for you here if you keep on lingering
As heydays of your life now they came and went
And paydays are long, much too long away for you to wait for it here
As if you deserves the wait of this magnitude!

But leave not as a warrior who ran off the battlefield, another voice said
But leave just as graceful as a firefly under this unsympathetic streetlight
For we know that you are lonely, but not as lonely as to torture your life like this!
Please, for you already know how to go back home from here
Towards home that you may never knew how to go back to without the grace of God!

Leave, leave I say, and leave this cold town and never ever turn back
For there is enough of tears of people like you to have come and gone from this place
Much more than enough to paint the sky's face black with sadness
For here is not the place to mourn and bury your dreams
But rather a place to abandon all hope and live like a robot!

This is not the place for you my friend!
Your place is up there in the sky! Not of the earth!
Please, please no one else now
But poisoning yourself at the same time!
You are still left none by the ones who understood
What's in your own soul!

So please live like a light on a row full of darkness
For your motives are well understood by the ones
Who watches you from the sky above
Let not anyone stand in your way again my skysent love
For we are hear for you, and we are here for you!
Farewell...for now

Laments Of A Divine Servant

What are these specks of the light I am seeing?
Is it of God? Is it of Life?
Am I really there at last?
Or is it too late for me to discover
The secrets of one's heart?

Ah, truly are the Miracles of God never cease to amaze me
As I am just a fleck of dust in His Divine of Eyes
And whatever and wherever He'd want of me
Then I'd go all out just to appease Him!

And this I shall, for He is my destiny
The One I'm from, and The One I'll return to...
For this is of me, and this is of Him
And whatever that comes my way
I'll know that they're from Him...
Yep, no doubt about that!

Heheheh...no, I mean it...

The End.

Princess Lunar Shadow

(Translated from my band HALUN's future hit song from our debut LP "Via Nex, Via Dolere, Via Tenebrae", the song entitled PUTERI LINDUNGAN BULAN)

Ages passed...
When light of day had flickered out its last
And deviations they came ripping through
Screaming shameful acts eternally...

I heard, The Enemy, decreed
The words, they're glowing like thunder
In heat of lust, this hellish ambition
It smothered the grace of my Lady

Bodies so lifeless
The remnants of glory...
To what ends do all fortune leads?
When all her days...were cursed and morbid...

You say her sins atoned...?

Then hear her weep, O heartless One!
My beauty; my Princess Lunar Shadow

Hate is a Warrior, the strongest of saviours
'Tis pagan misconception, your blatant insurrection
That clawed through the darkness, as I summoned thee
Satan you Bastard!

Save the Princess...

See thy world, bathed in all decadence
It summoned the lost spirit, the Rapture of all heathens
In shame ye Humans, evil through and through
Now take off and savour, the glimpses of thy future!

Tearful on the throne
The dew of nightfall bled onto the land
This sombre face with soul so lost and dead
My Mistress came to taste the dark again...

Ages passed..
When light of day had flickered out its last
And deviations they came ripping through
Screaming shameful acts eternally...
