Persistance
Lo, lo raise the hammer high.
Though, though works end isn't nigh.
Row, row ever towards your goal.
Glow, glow red hot as burning coal.
Flow, flow dreams like sweet wine.
Grow, grow lovely flower of mine.
Sow, sow the seeds of hard work.
Show, show that duty you won't shirk.
Stow, stow fears that claw your mind.
Go, go leave the monsters behind.
Crow, crow gladly victory cried.
Know, know I'll always be by your side.
Testament of the Wordsmith.W by DarksideofNick, literature

Testament of the Wordsmith.W
Testament of the Wordsmith.
With ink and paper,
I craft existence.
With clever mind and deft hand,
I bend meaning itself.
With what I leave unsaid,
I speak volumes.
With symbols on the page,
I leave ideas with meaning and insight like morsels.
With a smile and a pen,
I watch the hunters with hungry eyes and ravenous minds find those morsels.
With words from my mind to yours,
I unfold to you tales yet untold.
With my fingers,
I make my mark on the eternity of dreams undreamed.
With head held high,
I am a writer.
This poem was published by my school literary magazine so I decided to put it online,
The Horrors Within
Creatures of the night, what music they make.
'Tis a rhapsody of sinful glee, on this night All Hollow's Eve.
Masquerade as a grotesque ghoul, or some abomination of flesh.
Dance in the rays of the radiant moon, and forget thyself.
Become something naught of this realm, forget thine earthly form.
Play the game with a slight difference, repression though it is.
Mock what thou fear'st, for thou cannot face it.
Collect the sweets, walk the streets and forget.
Celebrate the inevitable, and lose thyself.

Please Pass the Lunacy
Please Pass the Lunacy
Blood soaked dreams,
Sweat soaked sheets.
Why the torment?
Break my mind like a crystal rose.
Streak my eyes with tar,
Cage my hopes.
Blackened walls laugh,
as the crimson ceiling cries.
One foot in the grave,
The other in the mouth.
Midnight winds sing,
and the trees play the melody.
Forgotten heroes,
Imagined foes.
Take hold of the tangible nothingness,
I need to cut the tension in the room with a knife.
Oathbreaker
Break the oaths,
Entrench the masses,
Feed the murderous intent.
Strike down the innocent,
Scorch the earth,
Keep the reaper busy.
Set the forest aflame,
Poison the waters,
Begin the harvest of souls.
Choke the sky with darkness,
Taint the earth's womb,
Reap what has been sown.
Fading Lights
Can't you see,
You turn and flee.
And to this very day,
You lament not looking away.
Memories from my second life,
Where I deal with war and strife.
Now you know why,
In my bed I lie.
In a world unseen,
Visited in a sort of dream.
Though through all the fights,
It vanishes like fading lights.
The Fugue of Solitude by DarksideofNick, literature

The Fugue of Solitude
Pitch black sky,
desolate plains,
ego raging on.
The fires of hell seek,
and the angels cry.
Shards of my shattered mind,
slide across my wrists,
making them shed crimson tears.
Serenity beckoned,
Chaos received.
Days go by,
and despair seeps in,
hopeless searching for love.
No sweet lullaby for me,
only the fugue of solitude.
Dark Lullaby
By: Nicolas
Sweet child of humanity,
Rest thy head upon the pillow.
Bed bugs are trivial.
Let my song weigh down thy lids,
Enrapture in the sweet serenade of sleep.
Take heart, 'tis now the sandman's time.
Shatter this plane of suffering,
Enshroud thyself with the bliss of dreams.
Rip from thee the flesh of reality.
Fret not dear child,
Nightmares shall not torment thee.
I am thy shield.
I shall give thee peace that I never knew,
Angels sing thee to thy rest.
My torments shall not pursue thee.
Come innocent child,
Let not the fears sting thy heart.
Entreat thyself to my dark lullaby.
