Saints in Gold by Requiemforanightmare, literature

Literature

Saints in Gold

Newport was just a detour. I had planned to wander the faded shops and watch the traffic. My dad, visiting a wounded friend, he said, encouraged me to come with him, and so I soon found myself listening to a confused conversation of broken Russian and English erupting the intercom of an old apartment building. Then an elevator ride, a hug from a stranger, and the offering of a glass of water from a woman with white hair and wrinkles. Their apartment was small yet sophisticated. There were rich burgundy tapestries and saints cast from gold to palliate the starkness of the otherwise bare walls. A smog of words thick with consonants settled in t

The Cemetery

yes we could stop the world's end but I think we'll save some souls instead the argument for victory magnified, and now it reads insanity, the very same the helpless plead as they stand on trial the battlefield, a self-procliamed hall for wanted spartan fame whose endless rooms are filled with names and epitaphs spelled MIA yes we could stop the world's end but I think we'll save some lives instead with bullets travelling towards our heads its only harder to admit we're wrong

Red Balloons by Requiemforanightmare, literature

Literature

Red Balloons

I. Descending from the womb and uncomfortable, Max is crying. Picasso is crying too, watching his brother's birth, a reflection in some metal machinery that's saved maybe five or six lives. The nurse, unconsciously able to drown out the newborn's wailing, hears Picasso's muffled cries that otherwise, go unnoticed. Picasso may or may not realize what he is doing. Max is disgusting and unfathomable, in his mother's think red silt, in his father's pale strong arms. The Uncle with the diamond encrusted Rolex, the same uncle filing the whole thing, would later recall, perhaps only to woo some nameless, faceless lover, how the rosy drops of dawn le

In the old market square

here and there in the old market square wandered the dealer with still graying hair the ballerinas, on their time off they threw rocks, at the small baby boys just to prove that their joys didn't just come from being dad's wind up toy and the brook once polluted now that ran clear the town made its goal, year after year to turn it back to that brown colored murk so the criminals and prophets would have someplace to lurk the sun also rising was now setting much faster, a clear and eminent sign of disaster, casting more often more shadows than light a blunt indication of the incoming plight here and there in the old

Timebomb

the little boy he sat and watched always starring at the clock waiting for the day it stopped the day it missed a tick or tock all the world spun slowly by painted days and half-dreamt nights it's useless whispered father time this boy will hardly bat an eye mountains fell and rivers change the boy not escaped the weathering his once blond hair now turned grey but gentle hands spun without age a girl in white wandered by but could not catch his careful eyes now hypnotized not by her sighs but still by gears that worked inside this little boy once entrapped in the body of a man now lies still entombed again

Eulogy

I pray tonight Our best apologies Won't be written as Eulogies The Crowd in black Forgets to Read You took me deep Into the Chessboard sea Where rooks and queens Whispered "Loyalty" The pawns were Brave They stood tall and cried "Honesty" But not soon enough We had gone up to breathe We used to sing Minor Melodies Not in minor Keys But short and simple Like you and me Our words changed From bits of our Beliefs To Stains of Ink What we though We were Supposed to say And I am afriad to see Your footsteps in the leaves Are washed out by the rain Of all the Paths you had Cross Just to get away My dear I still think T

the most dangerous thing is to say that its ordinary today was none other then a cascade of shock lacing a plain appearance arabian knights in the morning when Jasmine's beauty and Aladdin's grace caught me off gaurd father time must have smiled in Spanish because the clock sped up then but thats just a silly thought since everyone knows you can only smile in one language I laughed at Max which turns my heart becuase he always forgives which only scares me more and if you pretend hard enough anything can disappear but not forever and K reminded me of those once-a-year-give-it-your-all-or-nothing

Innovation Life

I took a chance and followed an instinct, No longer waiting for life to dictate, Because remember, "the fault dear brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are underlings" So in a breath of a fate, I asked him to sit with me, And in the wonderful mien He always carries about himself Was the answer, certainly And so the began The day where i forged my own path Authors filling eachother's biographys There was not a single thing We did not metion A discussion over what a "building" connotates Led to plans for joint invention As one day we will build together And with symphonic words he discribed

Some change for Charity

Their absence of morality could burn bridges, and for what, a momentary victory, as eventually they destroy themselves, as everything falls to ashes. Life is funny. Always. I never would have suspected this and could make no efforts to stop him in that state of awful shock. Pride flowed as told us all how he had raised thirty-eight dollars and some change. All of this from donations that were willingly given Halloween night. The donors faithfully believed that the money would go to UNICEF to help children. And of course, all thirty-eight dollars and change did just that. Well, minus the thirty-eight dollars which went straight into his pocket

Autumn by Requiemforanightmare, literature

Literature

Autumn

October winds bring failing dreams, Broken hopes but colored leaves, And I hate to have to face this day, When our friendship's dwindled to Memory, An akward euphoria, Is all we have left, Cause no one wants to end whats been, But the scathing truth just won't die down And both familiar strangers Will wander on-To one day meet At the corner of Nothing and Less since Nowhere Is too good for us And high off two parts parts Desert Air and one part Ambition We part

I won't let this happen to my children

0 min read

Theres a radiohead song, Like Spinning PLates. They recoreded the instrumental and thne reversed it for the CD. Yorke wanted to sing backwards because the lyrics were "too painful," so he reocrded himself singing the lyrics foward, listened to them reversed, and then sung them in reverse with the instrumental going "foward." This was then revrsed for the echoing ghost effects of the track. On Hail to the Thief, their song I Will (No man's land) is the instrument was spinning plates going in the direction it was originially recorded. That is, backwards of what spinning plates sound like on the cd but with new vocals on top. The end.
