Happy Memories Happy Memories:

We live in moments
Recorded as memories
Happy in the past

-Chen Yuan Wen, 9th April 2012
Terror of the Red World Terror of the Red World:

When we first came to conquer Mars
We uncovered a darkness sealed in stone.
For endless years it waited here
On the world that we would call our own.

Through the darkest days the evil festered
Becoming a womb where the demons spawned...
And by the time we learned of them;
We were forced to greet a bloody dawn.

Men and structures
Torn apart.
Corpses lay
Like foetid art...

A horrid chant
Resounded still.
On chilling winds
That broke our will...

Awaken, Awaken, Awaken, Awaken
She who sleeps beneath the sand.
Awaken, AWaken, Awaken, Awaken
Queen who was made to rule this land.

Awaken, Awaken, Awaken,
A Viking Reborn A Viking Reborn:

The Gods have called upon me
In a time when the hammer's sign.
Has fallen from the heavens
By the bloody heathen's design.

Now weeping for the children;
That will never know his name.
Odin has now sent me
To ease our inner pain.

Remember the days of old
Where once we sailed the seas.
We used to be the masters
Of the mountains and the trees.

We tamed the rushing waters
And sailed across the world.
No mortal man could match us;
Even mermaids gave us pearls!

Our strength was the very fire
That roared in the dragon's belly.
We proudly wore the scales
From the beasts in the valley.

The dreaded monsters of lege

Fury of the Frost Giants Fury of the Frost Giants:

No mortal man can stand
Against the Giants of the Frost.
For they bear the strength of ages
And the wisdom of the lost.

When first we came upon them
We were scattered by their might.
The fury of a Giant
Was a truly fearsome sight...

Cowering in fear
And waiting to be eaten.
We knew in our hearts
That we were utterly beaten.

Salvation lay behind us
In a death of blood and steel.
Yet fate would always turn
On a twisted crooked wheel.

For we found a cave of ancients
Bearing symbols of the knife.
It led us to a forge
That demanded our life.

Fourteen brothers sacrificed
Into the flames they went...
A Tale of Pirates 1 A Tale of Pirates 1:

It was a cold night one winter's eve as a single cloaked figure walked out from the 'Seedy Folks' tavern.

This man, was none other than Chenbeard himself. The fiercest pirate in the seven seas of literature. Said to be born from a merchant on the Eastern Coast of Bai Long, he chose the pirate's life after murdering his an entire city in cold blood.

Betrayed by his old crew, and left with naught but his Black Fedora and the clothes on his back. He decided to begin his journey anew. But first, he would need help and funds.

Hence the Captain decided to go, monster hunting...

Surreal Reality

by *WordOfChen

Surreal Reality:

The tides that bind a fallen city,
Swirls of vision, animosity...
Lost beneath a silvered glass,
Watch and wait as hours pass.

You find yourself, now surreal,
Surrounded by clocks with a ticking squeal.
You walk to the kitchen, a hand you find,
A platter in which to place your mind.

The microwave dings, the toaster rings,
From the oven you pull, intestinal strings.
You stab with the knife, it ends in your head,
Place your mind into a toasted bread...

You walk to the car, you breathe in deep,
You look into your pocket; the bottle you keep.
You take a long swig, it's a magical drive,
Your soul falls asleep while you await to arrive.

Silence, broken silence,
Emptiness filled with eyes and ears,
Rainbows haunt and tear the skies,
Falling rain like bitter tears...

Broken and unspoken,
Suddenly you are bowed!
Your throat explodes with shards of glass,
It ends the life to which you vowed...

Each gurgle of blood that is caught on your lips,
The sputum you cough is flecked with red.
Suddenly you wish you never drank,
For you died alone in bed.

"Relief comes not in a bottle..."

A very powerful piece of writing. I like the nuances of your pirate persona subtly put in the poem. The poems message is a prevalent one that I think many should take note of. A very nice piece. I had no idea that your writing as as good as your drawing ability

Arrr thank ye, I don't do the drawings though, they're done by me lovely co-captain who runs this account with me.

I didn't put any piracy in this poem though, it was actually a rewrite of an old piece, made much more powerful by experience and strength :3

They Watch You Sleep They Watch You Sleep:

There are many bards who can tell you tales
Of the creeping shadows that come at night
We've seen them crawling along the walls
In the absence of the light...

On the darkest of nights, cold and chill
You can hear them quietly gibbering.
They speak of things that you cannot know
Which is why they are always whispering.

It is said that they will know the future
and that they know the fate of every man
They are here to watch his path unfold
or perhaps to have him damned...

These sick and twisted animals
Bear a stench that is rather foul
But you will only smell this scent
if they choose to remove their cowl

They Watch You Sleep by *WordOfChen
Blood Crusade Blood Crusade:

They rode upon the backs of thundering horses
for faith had unleashed a terrible beast
These men would offer their souls in service
to the dark unholy priests...

"To what end do we serve our Lord and Master
is justice not the ultimate form of faith?
Should we not stand and fight in his name
to cleanse the Earth of this heathen waste!"

It was these orators, chaplains of faith;
men of the cloth who bore a fire
They lit their brothers with impassioned speeches
fueled by their own desire...

They taught their followers that blood was faith
and devotion was found at the edge of a blade
"Blessed is the mind too small foBlood Crusade by *WordOfChen
Living a Lie Living a Lie:

I feel like I've awakened from a comatose state
And the world has gone on without me.
I stretch my legs and take a walk outside
And for the very first time I see:

A strange kind of beauty, that is utterly alluring
It calls out to my spirit with the gentlest of cries.
I'm afraid to admit, for it was rather unmanly,
That I left with tears in my eyes...

I can't imagine how I could have forgotten
The very way that I used to walk...
I remember now my habitual actions
And I've even learned to talk!

"Arrr me hearties, good day to ya all
It be a fine day ta sail on tha sea
And if we find a plethora o' treasure;

The Secret of the Trees Beneath the glow of the twisting moon, we can feel
a horror beginning its birth. The serpent will slither
into a moistened cave and the blood will spill from broken lips

The secret was hidden beneath the trees, where the lovers
were kissed and never told. Yet the stains remain upon the grass.
Never to be erased...

How many times will I return, to a place I wish
I'd never see. Perhaps it is a way for me
To think of that which I regret...

But the man would never remind himself, of the horror
unleashed beneath falling leaves. The petals bear witness
to the struggled screaming, muffled by hands and feet.

A choking embodiment of sweat The Secret of the Trees by *WordOfChen
Vinashuka The cloud that forms above the burning wastes
Hints to many that the dying world breathes.
Beneath the empty morrow that holds the shattered
glass, I see myself whispering 'Vinashuka'.
Cold muttered voices tonguing the edge of my sanity
The creeping walls denote the loss of my inner being
Lick the paper that cuts the tongue into a myriad
of pieces and once again whisper 'Vinashuka'.

But my words will fall on deaf ears and I'm tempted
to once again open myself for torture. For perhaps
the endless grief with which I give myself meaning
will form into the bloodied words of 'Vinashuka'.
This single whispered temptation, a solitary lieVinashuka by *WordOfChen
