Poetic thread

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Today, I was listening to music while I finished reading a book, and afterwards, I had to write something. The result was a strange poem that I can't understand. So I thought I would share it with everyone to see if they can make any sense of it.


As time goes on,
We fight till the dawn,
And we die honorably.

As time and space linger,
Let man shine
And the earth die.

As the day draws to a close
And the moon rises,
let the dead walk the earth.

As we survive,
Let God rule your life
and the power of truth prevail.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

First verse: The dawn of man, honorable, but weak.

Second verse: The high noon of man. While they flourish, the earth slowly dies.

Third verse: Humanity's dusk. The earth has retaliated. Humans are dying.

Fourth verse: Humanity's night. There are survivors, but none will remain soon. The earth is dead.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Damn. That makes perfect sense to me. Thanks.

First verse:
Fighting valiantly for what you believe in, never to relent, fighting with honor until the end.

Second verse:
Mans rising has effected the earth, for us too live we have to destroy everything around us. (I don't believe it myself, we have time to repent)

Third verse:
Mans death. Our remains reminding whatever living passes by that a too demanding race is a doomed race.

Fourth verse:
A verse for the fanatics, let them answer it.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

It is still a strange poem.

 

[aka958]

Nah, not really. Depends on the perspective you see it in.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Well, considering I am not a very poetic person, and this poem literally just came out of its own accord, it is very strange.

 

[aka958]

I thought it was like that poems was coming. Mostly through spontanious ideas.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Well, it is still strange. I was listening to my music, and I had just finished a good book, and it came out.

 

[aka958]

Sources of inspiration.

Dude, the more you tell, the less strange it sounds.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

I'm not very poetic either, yet I wrote this one on Youtube, describing this song.

Wasteland. Desert of white. You can't feel the cold, yet you shiver anyway. You still blast away, but you ask, for what purpose? The Chozo smile down on you, as even this harsh land let's you live.
You could swear that you knew this song before playing. That's how much it personifies ice. Cold bliss...

That came out of the blue for me at the time.

 

[The crazy demon]

First verse:
The creation of the strong.

Second Verse:
The starting fall of the strong.

Third Verse:
The evils of the strong.

Fourth Verse:
The salvation of the weak.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

@ aka-You have a point. The book I was reading had a lot of death, and I was listening to Avenged Sevenfold. That may have been what it was.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

I just wrote this now.

"Darkness. Never ending pain. Released from it's cocoon, it poisons the waters, and fouls the very air you need to breathe. Only the dim light protects you, and soon, even that shall be gone. The desolation, the pain, the sorrow. It eats at your conscious like cancer, destroying all traces of what has been corrupted. You fight, but struggle greatly. You're at your wits end. The pain is unbearable, to see such wondrous places torn down.

This, is death, my friend. Welcome to hell."

I wasn't even thinking. I just typed. It's wondrous what music can do to me.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

. Amazing poem, dude.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

And it goes with the song's theme, too. Isn't it awesome?

I intend to do that with all of Metroid Prime's music.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

That would be awesome.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Would you be willing to sit and read them all, though?

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Yes, I would love to!

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

I should get started, then. ^_^
