I wrote this for a friend, it's sort of shortish, and I'm too lazy to go back and format it, so we'll just have blank lines between everything, I guess.
Night of Shadowed Secrets
Note-- the quoted words at the end of this poem are from the song Field of Innocence by Evanescence
Can you blame me?
Of course you can; you’ve always found fault with me.
Do you have a better answer though?
You, oh great master of all intelligence, I beseech you…
Yeah right.
Wandering down dim hallways of my cracked and broken mind,
I find myself lost in the maze of time and love and life.
And I look into the mirror only to see a shadow’s face.
Where did my reflection go?
What horror has stolen its place?
You hear my voice in that lover’s song, I wonder what that means.
You laugh with me, yet are so condescending, I wonder which one’s true?
But it’s all just so wrong you see, and you remind me with every breath.
Oh the chains that bind me,
The virtues that hinder me,
are flexable at best.
Through the mist and beyond the dream
Where latin hymns with sadness ring,
And whispers sing soft that sacred chant
And time is all but irellivent.
Come, listen to the wind and rain,
Hear the quire of shadows sing,
This song of hidden dark deception,
Behind the mythical waterfall.
"As the years pass by
Before my face,
As wars rage before me,
Finding myself
In these last days of existence,
This parasite inside me,
I forced it out.
In the darkness of the storm
Lies an evil,
But it's me."
ok... so... enter doesn't skip a line anymore. good to know.
Wow!!! This is deep Cala. Wow!!!

I can hear this as a rip roaring rock song, being played at 11.
Brilliant!
Interesting. I agree with Goblen. Just one question What part of Field of Inocence did you get that quote from because I can't find it?
You know after she's done singing, and you've got these female voices singing something you can't understand? It's a latin hymn. Then after they're through, there's a guy talking, but you can't really hear him. I looked up the lyrics online and found out what he was saying.
