"Night Crawlers"

submission: The Rock Redux

date: August 6, 2008

For some strange reason I always stumble across your page in the wee hours of the morning, but none the less I am never disappointed. Your songs make me want to dance while laying in bed, that and they make me want to write more poems, lol. All in all, I know you've heard this a million times, but your songs are awesome.

"Inspiration..."

submission: War's Little Secret

date: April 29, 2008

I have to say I simply LOVE this song. It seriously knocked the Writer's Block out of me and I came up with a little some thing that I named after the song itself.
^_^

" One by one, the fallen stood and the dead sang. The weary smiled and the injured laughed. What was this feeling? Was it pain? Sorrow? No...Not at all. Joy filled their hearts as their leader's eyes rose to meet them for the final time. They stood proudly, ignoring their pain and ignoring their sorrow. They stood watching their idol fall. The faintest of smiles laying on his lips. His pained eyes slowly closing. For him, there will be no hero's welcome nor a wondrous feast. What awaited him was eternal sleep. Sweet Serenity enveloped him in her tender grasp, raising his noble soul to the heavens above. From there, he will take it upon himself to watch over those he swore to protect. To lend his strength to the weak and his faith to the lost.
But there he laid, smile on his pallid lips. His lifeless body carried by those who so diligently followed his word. He was to be buried in the land of his birth, but fear not. This brave soul did not depart from this war stricken land without leaving his mark. For in the womb of his precious wife, lies the life he exchanged with his own.
Her hands caress her swollen belly as her lips whisper sweet nothings to the unborn child. The tears flow freely from her eyes as her lips curve into a smile. The news had not yet reached her, but in her heart she had known her husband's fate. But why is it that they both smile? Are they not sad? Does he not care? Does she not grieve?
There is no need to think. The answer is quite simple, the child in her womb will forever be the link between our valiant warrior and his sweet maiden."

I figured I'd let the person who inspired me have a look at my creation. Keep up the good work. ^_^
