Sabbathius
Alone I stood, against the stare of death
With head to head, I felt its gruesome breath
Its fixing crimson eyes igniting mine
Its scythe around my neck, which drew this line

I walk with pride, although the scar is seen
By everyone in every place I've been
Although I could give up, somehow I feel,
there are some tasks I must and shall fulfill

The urgent need of many things to toss
The cursed demons I have come across
As I have let them slowly drain my soul
So shall I use what's left to make them fall

T'was my first serious attempt at iambic pentameter, hence the name :D

Esta espada me foi dada
E me dito: "Segue a estrada"
Tal experiência tão falada,
Para sempre recordada

Uma mensagem recebi
E todo o perigo antevi
Neste reino em que vivi
Da escuridão me apercebi

De lá de cima me foi confiado
Que salvasse todo o reinado
Seguindo o caminho encarnado
Com bravos guerreiros a meu lado

Batalhas a dentro todos liderei
Sempre em frente, sempre ganhei!
Muito orgulho trouxe ao rei
E os invasores daqui expulsei!

Invasores estes que me levam agora
Servido o meu propósito est'hora
Meu Senhor, deixasTes-me à nora!
Servi-Vos e mandais-me embora!

Oh Inspiration, such a marvelously beautiful maiden she is, though always comes in late and when less expected. With sweet yet swift voices and tender touches, slowly involves you in a world full of splendor and awe. A world like you never seen before, and where with her help you create more and more! Such splendid sightings often fall in the depths of the unknown, due to everyday's troubles and struggles if not carefully and without ever for one second losing focus, immediately recorded.

Oh, the good times I spent with her on through the night, and all the wonders she helped me build!

Not exactly a poem, but I like it, and think it's worth sharing

Into god knows where
Into a deep dark lair
Slowly as a candle burns
My body twists and turns
For I am robed in flames
I am the fire he now claims

Still widely around my soul
All scorched out, nothing but coal
The rope which hasn't snapped
The endless fall in which I'm trapped
The more I fall, the less I care
For all the times, I spent up there

No escape from this descent
None of this is what I meant
Stripped of scent and sight
Cast away from the light
Void of all my senses
Void of all known faces

For many miles we have travelled
Many sickness we have seen
Such confusion we've unravelled
In many circles we have been

Walking with bare feet on the spikes
Carrying boulders at our backs
Getting poked by countless pikes
Following these endless ****** tracks

To find him there sitting on his throne
With his vast velvet royal mantle
To cast us out he seems so prone
From this ****** infernal temple

For causing discord in hell
From there we fell
So deep into the dark
Into darkest shades of black

Unwanted in neither earth nor hell
We drift along the dark infinity
Void of space, a complete vacuity
So horrid a tale, it hurts to tell

Descending in darkness!
Ascending in madness!
Across the borders of the void
We swam through pain and fear
We haven't shed a ******* tear!
We wandered mindlessly
We felt so cowardly!

The source of all the life we know is FIRE!
It is the cause of all our wrath and ire
The FUEL that boils our blood and brings DESIRE!
Without it's help we would most likely tire

Forever bright the flames do guide our way!
As piers to signal hope to those astray
Forever there to cast the dark away
They are the gods to whom we all should pray!

The great emergent star provides us light
Protection from the dangers found at night
Deceivers hidden carefully from sight
Conjuring tricks to make us doubt what's right

And that's just the first of a big pile of WIPs I've been stacking up, because I always find it hard to finish them.

Wrap the thorns around my wrists like serpents slithering for a feast;
the ones who breed to bleed me dry unknowingly making me feel alive.

I'll bathe myself in light from a masochistic moon and listen to shadows on the walls moan in pleasure,
a deadly pleasure
that echos through my haunted veins;
wrapping their legs around my waist
and running their fangs across my lips.

They dig their claws and I pull them closer
hiding a smirk that even they cannot see, for I'm the boy you can't destroy
as I make love to
demons in the dark.
I am in love with everything that kills me
