I woke early one morning,
the earth lay cool and still
when suddenly a tiny bird
perched on my window sill.
He sang a song so lovely,
so carefree and so happy,
that slowly all my troubles
began to slip away.

He sang of far off places,
of laughter and of fun,
it seemed his very trilling
brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers,
crept slowly out of bed,
then gently shut the window,
and crushed his ****ing head.

I'm not a morning person.

Beyond the shadowy hills there lies
The land of a race with crimson eyes.
Where looming, towering figures rise
(Among the hills, where darkness lies)
And cast about their baleful eyes
Upon a folk that never dies,
A world whose knowledge death defies
And where the deathless silence cries
A sound of rage or joy likewise
But here the silent void defies
All noise, its own unspoken cries
Upon a race that never dies,
Upon a folk that ever lies,
Where truth is but a poor disguise
For a nightmare land whose name defies
Both sanity and its demise
Land of a race with crimson eyes
Land of a race that never dies
Land of a folk that ever lies
Land of a people that death defies
Land of a people whose unheard cries
Echo from spaces where madness lies.

In Leng of the eternal ice
I met that race with crimson eyes
And learnt their lore and heard their cries
And read the silent libraries
That held the ancient knowledge wise,
And there I learnt of her demise
In grief she waited, her piercing cries
To echo from the vaults likewise
And if I strained my ears and eyes
I could perceive where madness lies:
In the land of a race with crimson eyes,
In the land of a folk that never dies
In the land of a people that ever lies
In the land of a race that death defies
Beyond the shadowy hills it lies
Beyond the moonlit stars that rise
Among the hills where darkness lies.

People, Nikki's intentions with this thread was not only to show off your poem/story/whatever, but you also had to comment on previously shown works made by fellow members. Until now only i and the green dragon (Riibu?) did that.
