Balance
rattletaptap Jun 2015
What is broken will be whole once more
When the sun sprouts behind the mountains
And peeks through the Earthly door
And all that is whole will be left unwhole
For there needs to be balance
between the world and the soul

Enduring The Storm

Gray days, grayer nights.
One leaf, stands out
in many, like a pearl
in dirt.

A Tender Kiss
rattletaptap May 2015
A kiss is like a falling leaf
It falls until it feels the ground
And then it waits for the loving wind
To come and raise it high to feel the sky

Dark Age!
rattletaptap May 2015
Dark age knocking
Thumping on your door
Entering your home
Through the gates of war

You see the reflection
Of its shape in the mirror
With each step it takes
It draws ever nearer

It comes then disappears
Like a serial killer
A giant sword in its hand
Bigger than a pillar

In its mind the power
Of endless deception
It will deceive you
You are no exception

Forever robbing you
Of all your expressions
Killing for its cause
But no time for confessions

A Drop of Regeneration
rattletaptap Apr 2015
With open arms face me
Hold me tight, embrace me
Wipe my sparkling tears
Take away my bitter fears
Put your wings around me
Show me what life can be
Show me it's not all dreary
My journey has left me weary
Don't let my soul fall apart
Nurture it like a form of art
Be both, my friend and lover
But you must help me recover

Trapped
rattletaptap Apr 2015
I slowly sway back and forth
In my barless cell
It's so big; I can't see the end
I feel like I'm in hell
Imprisoned by my own thoughts
Insanity grips me tight
It wants me to give in, just give up
I won't; I'll fight!
All Is, why? Because it's personal and I'm not giving up :P

The Sea
rattletaptap Apr 2015
Ever reaching
And so serene,
So briny and clean,
Is, the mystifying sea.

The fish inside it,
Together flock,
Swimming around,
A **** or rock.

The peaceful lives
Will forever last,
Where all is massed,
Beneath, the boundless sea.

We Need To Change!!
rattletaptap Apr 2015
As the sun turns black
And the grass turns red
Within this world
Of pain and hate
Salvation will come
When it's too late

We focus on now, instead of then
Even though we know, how and why it was
We're doomed to repeat it
All over again

So before this world
Goes up in flames
I ask you all
To bring down this wall

The one that's built
Of ignorance and hate
In order to prevent
Our miserable fate
The "THEN" in the 1st verse of the 2nd stanza can mean both THE FUTURE and THE PAST.
In the 1st verse it means the FUTURE, but if it's combined with the 2nd verse it means the PAST
The sun turning black = End of the World ( in this case humanity )
The grass turning red = From all the blood spilled during war ( which is the cause of verse 1 )

Random Thoughts...
rattletaptap Apr 2015
What is right?
What is wrong?
I wonder why
I have this song
In my mind
And in my heart
Am I a poet
Or am I a bard
I sing along
As I write
But my voice
Has no light

If only you knew...
rattletaptap Apr 2015
If you only knew
How I really feel
About you

I want to know
What you would do

Would you be shot
By Cupid's bow
Or would you go
And leave me alone

Would you let me
Pull you in
Touch your lips
And let me sin

Or would you go
Run away
Leave me
Without a word to say

I want to know
What you would do
If you knew
How I truly feel
About you

Dying
rattletaptap Apr 2015
As I drew
My final breath,
The morning dew
Smelled of death.

Beneath the sky,
So deep and blue,
I felt the wind,
As it blew.

On a bed of grass,
Silent I lay.
Waiting for my soul,
Away to stray.

The Evil Forest Sings!
rattletaptap Apr 2015
You know what they say!
Aye'! Aye'! Aye'!

When ya see a human,
Hiddin' in yer woods.
Take ‘im to the witch,
And steal his goods.

She'll keep ‘im locked,
Fo' so many days.
Then boil ‘im good,
In so many ways.

Once it's done,
She'll feed us good.
We'll eat some bones,
As servants should.

You know what they say!
Aye'! Aye'! Aye'!
Taken from a book I'm writing :)

The Leprechaun's Secret!
rattletaptap Apr 2015
A *** of colors
At the rainbow's end
A *** of hope
All pain to mend

A *** of time
An eternal bliss
A *** of love
A tender kiss

A *** of peace
A warless Earth
A *** of gold
An endless worth

When the moon shines upon the void
The puppets' lonely princess
Shall dance with the enigma
A prophecy, written so long ago
Even before the tales of afterlife

Her tattered dress shall slowly
Sway, across the wooden floor
Her stripped feet shall gently
Tap upon the moonlit stage
And she shall lose herself
In his mysterious eyes

His hands shall hold her tight
And feel the warmth of love
His darkness shall fade away
Far, far into the abyss
And he shall lose himself
In the beauty of her hair

The puppets behind shall play
A macabre and ghastly serenade
For the two whose fates
Shall eternally be intertwined
Joined together, by their mutual love

Trust
rattletaptap Apr 2015
It is that thing, when you give them your all,
And you believe they're not going to bring your downfall.

It is that thing, when it gets broken,
You cry and try to forget it, just leave it unspoken.

My Love, My Evening Star!
rattletaptap Apr 2015
In these barren wastes,
Of foul smell and clouds grey,
Should I give up? Nay!

In the midst of night,
I see, the brightest star,
Oh, such a mesmerizing sight!

I follow her, my evening star,
She'll always guide me home,
Whether I'm near, or I'm far.

Separated Lovers
rattletaptap Apr 2015
Unable to meet,
Like life and death,
Light and dark,
Heaven and hell.

Bound, to only see
Each other from afar,
Forced to imagine,
The warmth,
Of each other's touch.

Thank you!
rattletaptap Apr 2015
I always tried
To run away,
And escape it all

I built my wall
And hid it all
So no one can see
The real me

I lived in pain
But you, made me realise
It was all, in vain

Within The Shadows They Lay
rattletaptap Apr 2015
They are there,
Always, following
watching, waiting

Patient, calm
And collected

Out of your sight,
Making you think
That it's only
Deep inside your mind

But they are real,
Watching you,
From the shadows

Patiently waiting,
For the moment to come,
For the moment to strike

I Need To Tell...
rattletaptap Apr 2015
Far from home
I'm on the road
And in my chest
I have this load

I'll tell you why
I'll tell you all
Before I die
And have no soul

I rode upon
The wings of Death
And escaped
It's lifeless breath

The one who helped
The one I found
Is my love
That made me bound

And in the face
Of Gods and men
I'll tell you why
I'll fight again

No escape
From what's to come
But in front of Death
No longer numb

Escaped it once
I'll beat it twice
I won't be
It's sacrifice!

Your presence holds my sanity together.
Can I keep you?

Your presence revitalizes my bleeding heart.
Can I keep you?

Your presence takes away my pain.
Can I keep you?
I would love to hear about something from you all, in the format above, about that special someone in your life.
"Your presence... Can I keep you?" As you can notice the similarity between these 3. :)

I Want You! Forever!
rattletaptap Apr 2015
I want you here,
Right next to me,
I want you near,
So that my eyes can see.

And each time I see,
Your captivating smile,
It makes me feel free,
At least for a while.

Oh how I wish,
It could last forever.
I would never leave you.
Ever!

Fate's Writings
rattletaptap Apr 2015
I am bound to an endless tale
Written by a mastermind
Called Fate

I live within its books
Filled with dust
And written in days of old

Within the writings of a genius
I look for a flaw, I look for a singer
Called Belief

So that I can escape
This restless dream,
These black inked letters

Demon King
rattletaptap Apr 2015
Awakened from your slumber,
Trapped in a cell,
In a world down under.
The dreadful Hell.

Glorious your wings,
Oh, ruler of kings.
Black as night,
Their magnificence forthright.

Dire your horns,
The mightiest of thorns.
Stronger than steel,
Making all the knights kneel.

Crimson your skin,
Reddest of your kin.
Your muscles bulk,
Making the strongest sulk.

Your head terrible,
Your sight unbearable.
Your ears long,
Your legs strong.

Your voice deep,
Making all the women weep.
Your life eternal,
Your wrath infernal.

Frightening your sight,
Immeasurable  your might.
Torture is your pleasure.
Your collected souls,
I cannot measure.

To you, killing is a game.
In Hell,
Echoed is your name.

Emotional Pain!

Like toxic fluids,
Flowing through your veins.

Death By Gold Vines

Golden vines, wrapped around her neck,
Clenching tightly; Not releasing her, not even slightly.
Her mind and body, a complete wreck.
Now she is dead; Her tale and life have gone unsaid.

War & Death
rattletaptap Apr 2015
War,
When the sounds clench,
The mighty horns,
And crimson stench
Overshadows the meadow smell.

When Bodies lay
Soundless on the ground,
That's the time,
When Death comes around.

Death,
The ghastly one, comes down from the sky,
Patiently waiting, to take away,
All of those, who will soon die.

Hopeless Dreamer
rattletaptap Apr 2015
In these ruins of depression,
Where souls are filled with void,
Left empty by the mists of madness.

Under these grey skies,
Where mayhem and havoc
Hold each other's hands.

In this darkened hall
Of unfinished paintings,
Where even tranquil ghosts
Fall into oblivion.

In the blink of an eye,
I would die, just to meet
That special someone,
Who will end it all for me!

A Place of Darkness
rattletaptap Apr 2015
Where ****** creatures crawl,
Up and up, going up the wall.

Where tranquility doesn't exist,
Only fear is able to persist.

Where peace knows no place,
****** leaves no trace.

Where stories of the dead begin,
Despair shows on your skin.

Where darkness has descended,
The tale of light has ended.

Where life is filled with hate,
Silently, my death I await.

Dancing Shadows
rattletaptap Apr 2015
I watched them from afar,
The dancing shadows,
As they lingered,
Underneath the twilight sky.

The way they moved,
And touched each other.
The way they waltzed,
And held each other.

They were within a world,
They had created themselves.
They were, its God and Goddess.

A Requiem For a Lonely Soul
rattletaptap Apr 2015
Inside a haunted room,
A violin is being played.
But for whom?

A stranded soul,
With an unknown path,
It is in pieces, it is unwhole

A requiem is being held,
In its honor,
For such pain, it had withheld.

The room is brimmed,
With an audience of one,
And its pain is at last, being trimmed.
"For such pain, it had withheld." =  It didn't ask for help, decided to keep all the pain to itself

— The End —
