Torn pages flutter deep
Into dark-golden abyss
Tears of ink fall where books weep
Flying in flame-like bliss

Sun stretches golden fingers
And reaches through broken rooftops
To catch those falling poets and singers
And the frail paper of their mental crops

Those pages crackling, bristling
With thin veils of smoke rising from the piles
No one ever heard these flames whisper
Yet maybe it's golden Dustthat rises from the files

Wind carries parchment back and fourth
Dancing in whirls of solemn waltz
Love letters above float
Telling of flaming hearts
Among the rubble and debris they lay
Those sacred words of subtle lines
Etched inside from dark inwells
Torn pages telling of forgotten times
I had the picture of an abandoned library in mind when writing this... Oh, I wanted this to be oh-so more beautiful, but I think that's the best I can do... Sorry.

Somebody wrote "acurate"
And that seemed not quite right
I then responded to the mate
So that he may gain insight:
"It occurs to me that the accurate way
To write "accurate" is with recurring "c" ."
My friends will most likely hang me, nay,
I'm confident they're gonna find something worse for me...
But I liked the tongue-twister well
And in this sense,
Knowing I will burn in hell,
I added "That was a neat sentence"...
That actually just happened. XD

You are just a marionette
In your masters deathgrip
Release yourself and make it
To the other side
The refrain of a hip-hop song I wrote some half a year ago. To my shame, I wrote it on a memo in my phone which I soon lost. The memo, not the phone. Still, the text is gone, and this is all I remember. It wasn't that virtuous anyways, and still it's a shame...

They saw the dread,
But they turned and averted their eyes.
It was easier to live without what they had done,
So they kept smiling and ignored the flies.
We went with the whole class to the KZ Dachau, one of those KZs, where the Nazis methodically murdered thousands of jews. I wrote this on the way there...

Bad Gateway
Error Five Zero Two
Bad gateway,
I hate you.
UwU Don't ask.

Edit: As I wanted to publish this, bad gateway struck again, by the way...

A young girl was walking
Alone
In the woods
Stumbled upon ruins
Of a stronghold
By the looks

Where squires used to play swords
And knights fought
Brave wars
Scattered pillars all that
Remained of
Great halls


A young girl was kneeling
Down
In the dust
Looked at the remnants
Of a crown
Covered with rust

Telling of eras
Of dragons, wolves
And rooks
Of halls filled with swords
Spears and spell books


A young girl was weeping
Serenely
In the hush
Prayed to spirits unknown
Even to her
Ancient gods

Angels sent from above
Sank down
Without rush
Shook the sorrow from her
As if with
A subtle brush


A young girl was standing
Amidst
Angels old
She heard not once thunder
Yet they were covered
In lightning bolts

First the girl was trembling
But then she stepped
Forward, bold
From her numb fingers
Slipped the crown
Made of gold
Ugh. Honestly, I have no idea how I came up with this one. It was simply there!
It is sung, actually, in a simple tune, more a child's rhyme than a real song. But I like it. It's got something I... I can't quite put it in words. But I love the beautiful setting, 'n stuff. No idea how I made that.

The end
The end is just the beginning
And shall I die, I gladly will
Yet this song I will be singing
;-P
