Dors Dors Petit Ange

Wandering amidst graves
The wind snakes around me and hisses
Like a dying breath.
Apart from that,
The air is still.

In a labyrinth of statues and angels
I'm trapped in their icy gaze
My lips part, and I sing my graveyard song.

Dors, dors, petit ange
Et reve de la mort
Dors, dors, petit ange
Demain tu seras mort.

P.S. Btw, thanks to Rachel, Chiouz and Shen. Love you guys.

Dead Man's Bells

Dead man's bells
Tinkling in the wind
I hear in their metal clangs
The secret of his death.

Hush, little darlings
Stop the incessant whisperings
Of grotesque truths and bloody lies
I shut my ears to the world.

Aah, sweet silence
Love me and never leave me
Drown me in your endless void
Protect me from the dead man's bells.

Eternally Young

Claudia, Claudia
Father says
Will you not be gracious
And play us a song today?

Oh Father, Lover, Maker
How I resent the ivory under my fingers
Cold and hard like my skin
I'm trapped in a little girl's body for eternity.

Oh Armand, save me!
When will I look like that pretty lady?
Cut my head off with your sword
And stitch it to her full grown body.

Memories

Journey through the darkest pit
Of my subconscious mind
Ah, old memories
I tried to forget.

Shunned to a side
And covered in webs
Horrible memories
Reach their claws to my arms.

Away, away!
Oh indescribable terror
Rising from the eternal gloom
Save me, Mnemosyne, goddess of memories!

Memento Mori

Note: Like the previous one, this post is not suitable for superstitious people. Enjoy the rest of your Chinese New Year holiday! Btw, Memento Mori means 'Remember you must die'.

Memento Mori
He comes like a gentleman
Clad in silk and velvet
Innocent cherubic face
Come to put out the candles of my life.

Memento Mori
Pretty rose petals part
He speaks my name
A shiver runs down my spine
Where does he hide his scythe?

Oh handsome Death!
He carries me in his arms
And whispers in my ear
"Memento Mori, 
remember you must die!"

Death Waltz

Warning: This post is not suitable for superstitious Chinese people. Happy Chinese New Year.

Tunes of mendacity whispers
A song to snatch away your soul
Hidden in darkness, hear him
Hum a song of sweet seduction.

An illusion of pleasure
Shines through the gloom and echoes
Come, yield to Beauty
And dance with Death.

Dark melody swirls in the air
A mystery, a secret, a lullaby
Sweet darling kiss his lips
Until you can feel no more.

Void

It is a white void

I cry because I'm afraid

What lies beyond

This frightening nothingness, 

This horrendous emptiness. 

Tender and aching

Where do I go now?

Angels, demons come to me!

Guide me from this barren land

Be it heaven or hell. 

Thundering silence

My ears pound with it

Oh drown this cacophony with sweet delights!

Am I alive?

Am I dead?

Inspired by 'The Lovely Bones'. Saoirse (pronounced as seersha) Ronan rocks!

Loss

For Rachel, who urged me to write a story even though I have absolutely no idea what to write. (I know it sucks.)

The sea stretched out across the vast void so that its horizon looked as if it was embracing the sky. The sun was dying, splashing his orange innards across the sky with little bits of purple, pink and red. Perfect, this moment. If only time would cease now and capture this picture forever.

Foamy waves crashed onto the white sand only to retract to the sea's bosom. Soothing, the sound of rolling waves and whispering wind. He stuck his tongue out and could taste the moment; salty, with a strange undertone of peace. Salty, like the tears on her cheeks that he kissed away.

The last rays of the sun faded, revealing a sky littered with stars. For a moment he saw her, raven hair dancing in the wind, bright eyes flashing in the dark. Something squeezed his lungs and he felt the air gush out of him. He waited for the prickling sensation behind his eyes and the inevitable swelling of tears but was disappointed. A long, hearty cry would release some anguish. A dry sob would only further hurt his soul.

Broken promises and a broken heart. The waves touched his feet and the icy cold water penetrated his soul. He wished that she had gone to a better place. The wind caressed his face and kissed his eyes. Why did she have to leave him so soon? The sand moved under his feet and slid into the ocean. The memories are already slipping from his mind.

He threw her favourite flower into the ocean and watched it sway with the waves. Red, in the midst of darkness. Why did she have to die so young?

Envy

Tell me why
I should not be shrouded in envy

When all the treasure my heart holds

Slip away from my hands. 

I wipe the tears from my eyes

All I see is green

I'm hidden in darkness

Never to see the light. 

Look, arrogant usurper

Do you find supreme delight

In my helplessness?

Do you laugh at what I've lost?

Mine, all mine!

Cruel usurper

Do what you want with me

But take not my heart's desire.

Iris

Three cheers to "When everything's made to be broken" and "you bleed to know you're alive". Still emo-ing. (Since when do I use that word?) Iris, by Goo Goo Dolls.

And I'd give up forever to touch you,

Cause I know that you feel the same somehow.

You're the closest heaven that I'll ever be,

And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,

And all I can breathe is your life,

And sooner or later it's over,

I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,

Cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,

Or the moment of the truth in your lies.

When everything feels like the movies,

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,

Cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,

Cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken, 

I just want you to know who I am.

I just want you to know who I am.

I just want you to know who I am.

I just want you to know who I am.
