A topic for composers/songwriters! XDDD

Mind you, verse works are also fitting in this thread. ;) something tells me many of us write or have written, or want to write something like that. My suggestion is to share it as well, and in maybe in different languages, too! :XD:
i'll post some of what is written in English, for I've been practicing it pretty long. Despite that, the songtexts are still pretty weird... ^_^;;; don't hesitate to ask if you don't understand something. And PLEASE join the party! :XD:
 
Co-ordinates of you





How can you sleep on a night like this?


The stars come out to play.


Their silver laugh has filled my heart with sugar salt of pain.


Seems like each pair of them


Is someone's caring look,


Whose mood however changes fast like pictures in the book.





I used to ask them what they planned for us...


Their silence drove me sad and mad and... smiling.


Why do they tell their stories when you don't attend,


Like sunbeams in the mirror, life-beguiling?





Refrain:


And somewhere the co-ordinates of you


Lie bookmarked on a page I can't remember.


I rose up and I tried, I couldn't less than cry,


A-fluting in a stellar score dissembled!


Imagine, the co-ordinates of me


Regain their pulse with every step you've taken.


Through many lives we leaf, re-learn to take and give


And hope to lead our deepest fears mistaken -


And back to wherever we've been...





What can you search in a world like this,


And never give it up?


There's no amount of inner peace that borders on "enough".


We used to shrug it off


And guard each other's time -


As printed by your shadow as to mix it up with mine...





I guess we humans have a need for pain


To constantly remind us that we're living.


The mocking revelations of the stars above


Withhold the gift of loneliness you give me.





Refrain





In dreams I ask you what you planned for us,


The truth to drive me me sad, then mad, then waking.


My road to you is messed, uncharted and obsessed - 
I'll chart it with the dew that leaves my aching eyes,
And on to wherever you are!

Fireflies





I prayed someday


You would be coming.


But when you came,


I felt an urge to run away.





You seemed derailed


And having issues,


But there before you, senses disobeyed.





We kept on passing empty words


Like a piece of moon,


We said good-bye and went back home,


Falling prey to dreamless sleep.


But in the morning on the wall


Scratches stayed so deep –


And I would wander, holding out for you.





Refrain:


Searching among those fireflies,


Some lover’s hand is pricked by a rose.


Lurking the darkside wild-eyed –


That’s what she undergoes.


Fireflies! The nightsky’s favourite daughters,


Merry and sad nymphs, broken-heart-staking,


Chasing their dreams lost in waking,


Crashing like UFOs…





I wrote your name


On ash-clad pages


And crossed out mine


Approaching like a bullet’s whiz.





It was a faint –


How else to call it?


A firefly’s dream without a waking kiss?





A flame of passion lit above,


We would circle round.


The heat of shame would freeze somehow,


Lay us prey to dreamless sleep.
In fall, I meant to grip my love,
To resow the reaped…
But I wake up alone beyond the ground.

Refrain

A very very pensive and weird one... :XD:





Standing at this bus stop





You see a goblin climb out through a manhole


And cross the highway with a striped umbrella.


And there’s a pain you couldn’t explain;


No pain, no gain –


No innocent Cains


To kneel and pray in isolated cellars…





To and fro,


Going through the route timetable…


Will you grow,


Or will you grow unstable?


So you know





Refrain:


That the crowd is melting –


Easy enter, easy exit.


Once they’ve tied their belts and


Trod the pedal, Life reflects it.


And the headache sweet


From this bunch of backseat drivers…


Standing at this bus stop, waiting,


Can you see the neon fading?





I see a pony drag a cart of bagpipes.


They’re moving in the wrong lane, but it’s safe now.


What do we do? The game was for two –


Into the blue


And back down with flu.


You stayed in bed and watched ‘em welcome May loud.





Come to play!


It’s about a destination.


Pave the way


Where you’ll find a new location,


Where we’d stay…





Refrain2:


And a man’s departure,


Always sudden, never lasting.


Just one line about you:


Date of birth to date of passing.


And there’s no one else


In a while less than a minute…


If we’re standing at this bus stop, What can you and me be bound for?





You see a syringe penetrate a blue vein…


The hand grown out of thin air, into air goes.


It’s in your breaths – last exits to death.


Veer left – one theft,


An Earth-like dish heft,


Three tumblers – thrice the scenery you dare close.





And I’m feeling useless,


And I wish I was run over…


Somehow they’ve abused us,


Though ne’er figured out as proper.


Things that come to pass


Are like double-deckers patient…


This decision’s been worth making,
Only different routes we’ve taken!

Refrain2

Over my gaunt shoulder glancing – 
There’s a couple in the rain,
To and fro…
Now you know…
They will know…

omg nick i love reading your writing :dote:
(please come here and write my essays for me during my exam tomorrow ;_;)
 
Waahh but you're already married! xD and you already have a girlfriend! lolll
 
Omg Kerahna i'm not worth you :wai: :comeback:

you can start practicing for your exams, it's a great reason to begin!

We had an essay on the topic "I don't like movies - I've seen too many bad ones" in our English class. And you know, verse is much easier for essays, you can write thrice as little and compress complicated ideas into a couple of symbols. Like this essay:



A critic’s tongue in aspic



I see a box-office in my nightmares,

Haunting me, wanting me lassoed again.

Another shadow before the white screen –

There go the shadow-like gears of my brain!



Watching the weepers who waste tons of onions,

Watching the victims who weep after head-shots…

And I haven’t heard of one fine man

Applying for that job!



I used to spend half the life imprisoned –

Even my vision is 16:9.

I witnessed tens of misshapen weasels

Play to the gallery, squeeze out a dime…



“House full”, the window says many an evening.

Housefuls of TV-sets soap the tears wetter.

“Sold out” – and whatever’s the meaning,

Couldn’t have said that better!



I’ve never seen my life as a thriller,

Suspense or action, or April Fool stuff.

But with another blockbusting driller

My life’s a cut scene…

Hell, I’ve had enough!



Not a mild word to describe my condition

When buying tickets to kill one more week-end.
Do they dictate my decisions,
My common sense weakened?

Water and oil

Water and oil.
A cuter decoy.
Flowers dry and unspoilt in a drawer.
Take-off and fall.
To hell with them all!
Every word is an essence-destroyer.
Water and oil.
The spring has recoiled.
And the autumn minds not to come early.
Passion and love.
Someone mixed them so rough,
That the surface could not be less curvy!

Water and oil.
Between sand and soil
Lines are written, the gist still elusive.
Phrases and rhymes,
Once thoroughly timed,
Melt to puddles and so does my music.
Water and air –
There’s someone to care,
But she won’t pay a bit of attention!
Cancel this thought,
The input to naught –
It’s indifference releasing the tension!

Weird is this all!
I gave up the words, I align empty glasses…
Water and oil…
The relationship void
And the precious time gone!
There’s no way
I’d know it,
There’s no way I’ll want it once more!

Twilight and dawn…
I move like a pawn…
Watching her silhouette slide to hindsight…
Poets and fools…
Can you tell who is who?
Lady, wait up!
Don’t melt in the sunlight!

Wow Nick! You got a very interesting style. I bet those metaphors say alot more than they look. Are these poems echoes of your heart? :)

Oh and i lie the essay! :XD: Woot!

I've finally found the courage to post one of my miserable noobish creations. Haha. i'm so embarrassed with it but i wanna know what other people think of it, so here it is. ^^ (Of course, i'll always feel embarrassed about every little thing i make if it's anything short of the perfection that Yuki-megami creates :dote: )

Even though it's in romanian, you can find your way around. It says "Descarca" for "Download". (There are a few mirrors). Or you can play it right there. ^^

WARNING!!! REALLY noobish content! Cover your ears with something! i think i's a bit louder than i anticipated:XD:
 
Way to go, Ayashii! Thanks for uploading the first music track here!

I'll evaluate it in a week at longest (in case there will be problems with Inet), but I hope to hear it sooner.
 
Grrr!! I got scared when i saw you replied :XD: but i see it got postponed so ..listen to it whenever you can. I'm in no hurry. :XD:
