My Eternal CurseMy Eternal Curse:

Since the time I was awakened,
From the dawn I lived and breathed.
I have always walked alone,
For I carry a dark disease.

No matter where I go,
No matter where I'm born.
Always it will reveal itself,
Always I am torn.

The moon will shine from cloudless heavens,
And soon the change will take it's place.
My fangs will grow and fur will sprout,
It is my deep and dark disgrace...

Silverback, they called me,
Bane of men and beast alike.
Knights and templar, each and all,
Sought to have me on a pike.

I've killed so many countless men,
They are faceless in my waking dreams.
Bones shall litter the depths of my la

The Sea of DeathThe Sea of Death:

We weathered the dreaded maelstrom,
As the sea displayed her rage.
She danced like a fevered puppet,
Upon her deadly stage...

Within her swirling currents,
My men were cast aside.
Drawn into her hungry maw,
It was then and there they died.

Never had I seen such a thing,
It spoke of darkness before my eyes,
A serpent rose from the watery depths,
As lightning boiled from the skies.

It's screaming call was as a banshee's wail,
It stole the life from our shrieking lips,
Like the chilling touch of death itself,
We fell like slaves before the whips...

Darkness came and darkness went,
My eyes opened to the morning

Self Righteous SuicideSelf Righteous Suicide:

We're sleeping,
In a cold world,
That has long denied the light.

We isolate,
Each other,
As we walk alone at night.

We plot,
Unholy vengeance,
As we dream of endless death,

We hate,
Our reflections,
As we choke away our breath.

We sleep,
And suffer,
Tormented by our dreams.

Alone,
And frightened,
None shall hear our screams.

So sick,
So vengeful,
A taste that is sickly sweet...

Let me end,
This life,
For hope I shall not meet...

"Why should we alone cry, when angels deserve to die?"

-Chen Yuan Wen, 24th February 2012

The Walk of Utter ShameThe Walk of Utter Shame:

My face is hidden by a blackened mask,
As I am taken to stand before the crowd.
Ripped from my face and cast aside,
My features burn in the glaring sun...

"Who amongst you will defend this man?"
I hear a soldier call.
"None of us sir!" The crowd shrieks back,
As to my knees I fall.

"Shame him!" The soldier cries,
As they begin to pelt me with rotten fruits,
"Maim him!" the people scream,
As they kick at me with mailed boots...

I shudder and writhe beneath the torture,
Too pained to even scream in fear.
For this is the punishment that I deserve,
For shaming the honour that I hold dear.

In anger, in ra

Sweet Bird in A CageSweet Bird in a Cage:

Sweet bird you lived your life in a cage,
Black forces, burned you all away...
How could I sit by and watch you die?
Sleep soundly on the bed where you used to lie.

Your legs and your arms were bleeding,
Burned stump on the night, were you crying?
How sweet was the sound of you dying?
In pools of blood, were you smiling?

Sweet bird you lived your life in a cage,
I wondered, how I used to hate...
Your life and your sweetness inside,
I took your life on that cold night...

Crying all these tears of weakness,
Sweet bird you took on my sickness.
Deep inside of the forest of witches,
You lie in the darkest ditc

I Believe In YouI Believe In You:

You feel like things have gone into the ground
When everything is gone and crashing down.
You took your pain and tried to make it end
But give me one more chance to hold your hand...

See I will believe it...
I know you're strong inside
Just try once to see it
You will believe that-

You will be alright,
And we are all here by your side
We'll take you through those painful days
We soar like birds and fly away hey!

You will know that we're here,
Cause when you open those eyes my dear;
We will all be here
We will all be here
We will all be here...

See once it was so hard to carry on,
But take my hand, my shoul

Stand Up and FightStand Up and Fight:

What happened to your hopes,
What happened your dreams?
You're sitting here in silence,
You listen to the screams.

I think you've had enough,
Just stand up and fight.
Don't let yourself be this way,
It's not alright.

You used to have a smile,
But then they made it go.
They crushed you in the dirt,
Now you're feelin' really low.

I think you've had enough,
Just stand up and fight,
Don't let yourself be this way,
It's not alright.

The big bullies gang up,
They got their own hang up,
Forget it and man up,
Ya just gotta stand up.

Because this is your life,
Don't throw it away.
Just stand up and fight,
No

Struggling at LifeStruggling at Life:

We're reaching out for stars
In the depths of the night.
We're struggling at bars
Shut away from the light!

I've seen the way we act
When we are fighting for our lives.
But we're killing all our brothers
On the point of our knives.

I've seen the violence
Spewing from the poorest of peaks.
We are the rats, caged up
In the darkness we seek-

A little path, a little home;
Just a place to call our own.
Everything we ever tried
Try to win before I die.

Hopeless, lost; shot from the skies
I am the martyr, burned for the sin of their lies.
I am the people, screaming for the justice be served
I am the sound that

A Glass of Total PoisonA Glass of Total Poison:

This is an issue very close to my heart, so I'll be putting it into rhyme:

Hang on a moment, STOP!
And think in the frame,
You pickin' up that glass,
With a hint of disdain.

Knocking back the shots,
One, two, nine, twenty!
You're pukin' in the alley,
And the scent is heavy!

Every moment that you pass off as some fun,
It's like you're playing tag at the point of a gun!

I'm sick and tired,
Watching you sink into despair.
Your life is in the gutter,
But you're already there!

Now how do you escape this,
What is the truth?
You're blinded by the lies,
That you think is the proof!

Every time,
You lookin'

Disconnect Yourself [Remix]Disconnect Yourself [REMIX]:

Is it so easy to pull your wire
Out from the inside?
(The kiss of Cyanide)

You drank the poison
And lived a lie
(That you could not deny)

Weathering change
Your mind was like stone
But then it started to break...

Now drifting helplessly
You shattered like glass
Knowing that you're fake...

The empty shell, that you grew
Has started to come undone...

Piece by piece
You're breaking apart; and it weighs a ton!

The wire inside me
The blood in my veins
(A memory of an ancient pain)

Knowing that I
Am nothing but a fake
(The self you cast away)

Dreaming of times
When the world was simple
Not simp

The Kraken's SeaThe Kraken's Sea:

In the deepest night our ship was sailing
Quietly through the moonlit sea.
Until we saw the monstrosity rising
'By the gods, it couldn't be!'

From the watery depths we heard it shriek;
Tendrils arcing toward the sky.
Like harpoons cast toward the heavens
The time for battle was nigh.

My crew prepared the starboard cannons
As I steered my ship through the rumbling tide.
The vicious whirpool which drew us in,
Was the abyss in which the beast would hide.

Soon it began to strike at us;
Tentacles lashing like deadly whips!
Several times we were nearly broken
As it clicked and smacked its horrid lips...

'Fire!' I

Lilith My QueenLilith My Queen:

In darkness she called me
My life she did bind.
Lilith my Queen;
My soul was consigned...

By blood we were sealed
By hatred defined!
We killed in her name
For this angel of mine.

Her wings were the darkest
They bore chains of steel.
Through darkness my wounds
And my scars she did heal.

In nightmares she whispered
They broke me in time.
She tore out my heart
And ripped out my mind.

All through the black winter
This one frosted night
The heavens did weep
For the death of the light...

-Chen Yuan Wen, 10th March 2012

A New BeginningA New Beginning:

Setting sail,
On the sea.
With my friends,
Right by me.

We will sail,
To these lands.
With naught,
But our hands.

Though we feel,
Lost at sea.
We still know,
We are free.

Come and join,
Raise your hands,
We will sail,
To these lands...

"Hoist the flag and let me see, what the jolly roger of Chen shall be!"

-Chen Yuan Wen, 18th February 2012

I broke a mirrorI broke a mirror today.
What it showed me horrified me, so it didn't deserve to live.
The mirror's image was terrible,
it was an ugly mirror, it lied.
It deserved to die.
I crushed it into a million beautiful,sparkling shiny peices with my clunky bare hands.
They carved into my already torn skin, spillling lovely rivulets of red onto the floor.
The mirror was beautiful now that my reflection was gone from it.

The Wolven PrideThe Wolven Pride:

We are hunted down as monsters;
By legends demonised.
We are feared as devilish creatures
In your pitiful human eyes...

But let me try and teach you
Of why we do not fear.
Because we actually enjoy it
When the hunters seek us here.

In the forest we are champions
In the night we rule the lands.
The hunter becomes the hunted
And dies by our hands.

Fangs will pierce his fragile throat
His flesh is torn to shreds.
It is the fear and scent of death
That the hunter truly dreads.

But we alone shall know no fear
For by the moon we shall be blessed.
Draped in Luna's loving embrace;
We bet our life with every breat

A Viking RebornA 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.

Fury of the Frost GiantsFury 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 1A 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...

Journey to ValhallaJourney to Valhalla:

The sound of battle surrounds me
As axe and sword will clash.
The fate of a man decided
In a single metal flash.

On the ground I lay awakened
For the blood is rushing low.
It bursts from my wound
In a searing bloody flow...

I scream like a raging animal
As with the last of strength I thrust!
My sword will pierce his lung
As my enemy turns to dust...

A ruined body before me
Cold as the winter snow.
I begin to feel quite dizzy
As the heavens start to glow.

I can hear the sound of horses
And the cry of hungry crows.
The clouds began to part
As from the ground we rose!

Like warriors from the grave

SANGUINE Prologue + Chapter 1 - 1SANGUINE

A light novel by Chen Yuan Wen

Prologue:

BY WHICH MEASURE do we seek to judge the morally justified and the morally corrupt? Who becomes the saviour of the story and who becomes the villainous wretch? It is a question that is easily answered, even if the answer might seem distasteful: for it is the victor, in any situation, who will marked as a hero. They will always be justified, regardless of their actions, and any misbehaviour will simply be explained away as a part of their natural function. In the end, it matters not how many lives were sacrificed; nor does it matter how many women or children were slain. This is simply passe

Surreal Reality

by *WordOfChen, Feb 25, 2012, 7:20:06 AM
Literature / Poetry / Horror / Free Verse

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

*WordOfChen Mar 10, 2012 Professional Writer

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
