Butterfly wings of tranquility
and the invisible zephyrs under the moonlight
collide to reveal her haunting eyes;
strange but beautiful.
A blood red sky bleeds the love
of a woman and a man,
and the scent of death very close by.
For a poisonous kiss is not far behind
those raucous lips they have.
And it is then that the full moon rises
and the demons awake.
The black is settled and the tide then quakes...
So sing me sweet catastrophes
about a love never meant to be.
Sing of a horror in my dreams
Plastered on the back of tainted angel wings.
Dust the cobwebs away
to reveal animosity
of a dying love, never meant to be.
The holes and lost signs thrown into the sea.
Buried deep in their minds, forever eternity.
So sing me sweet catastrophes
about a love never meant to be.
Sing a song about you and me
Plastered on the back of tainted angel wings.
Stardust faded
Brushed away
Saving it for another day
When baby's breath was like a wildflower
And we used to sing...
So sing me sweet catastrophes
about a love never meant to be.
Sing a song about you and me
Plastered on the back of tainted angel wings.
And when those wings turn back,
paint the sky with tears
and every cut you bled before,
and mix them with your fears.
So now you can look up and see
nothing is what it seems...
So sing me sweet catastrophes
about a love never meant to be.
Sing of a horror in my dreams
Plastered on the back of tainted angel wings.
Then maybe you can wake from this dream.

I was sitting in my room 3 days ago and I came up with this. I don't think it's good. I don't even know what it's about.

This was amazing Sarah,

lyrics to the next Lacuna Coil song.
I loved it... & congrats on a very
well deserved gold!

You may not like this poem/song, but I honestly can't think why. I very much enjoyed reading this. If you have any musical talent, you should definatly write some music to go with this. Or, with your permission, I could create music to go with this if you are up to it.
"Butterfly wings of tranquility
and the invisible zephyrs under the moonlight

strange but beautiful.
A blood red sky bleeds the love

and the scent of death very close by.
For a poisonous kiss is not far behind

The black is settled and the tide then quakes..." That whole beginning part sounds like the start of a story. Maybe the spoken words before the singing of the song?
"So sing me sweet catastrophes

That is absolutely beautiful.
You did a wonderful job. Thanks for entering and Good luck in my contest.

Thanks! I am musically inclined, I just can't think of any tune that would possibly go with it. I can't write music and put it to my pieces, I dunno why. I can do it to other people's work but not to my own.

Well I think this is good! I don't understand the sudden hostility above, but I suppose it has to do with a comment that was deleted. Anywhoo... I loved the flow and the word choice. The chorus was beautiful! Thank you for entering my contest!

Thank you for the lovely comment, OpieOpium. I hope wish you the best of luck as you continue to grow as a "poet" or whatever you may be in this life. I appreciate the comment. Have a good day and if you would like to say anything more about my poems, say it in a private message to me, so you don't make yourself look bad.

that was not very nice. you know comments are supposed to have constructive criticism, not totally say that the poem is garbage. that was very rude of you and i hope you dont do that to a lot people because people won't like you anymore. and besides.. it was just not nice to begin with. do you feel good when you say things like that to people and you know that it wont make them feel good? i hope you think about that and that you feel horrible when someone makes a rude comment like that on your poems. have a nice day.
-
This is very interesting but, like you, I can't quite figure out what it is about. I like the chorus a lot, but the rest of it seems a little lost.
