Do you write?

[Dariune]

Ok guys and gals
Time for another pointless and boring thread from your friendly neighborhood Dariune.

How many of you, if any of you are artists?
By that i mean do you write poetry? or write songs? or draw? or whatever?

Im a songwriter and so i am making this thread for those of you who fancy sharing your art with likeminded people or just chatting about the varying different thoughts and processes that go into making a piece of art.

I will start, this is a song called Jaded Flashback. I wrote this when i was 18, so eight years ago.

Jaded Flashback

Sitting in my tower
Going back in time, then ill know
It’s where ill find my own path to where I have been before
When it’s getting harder
The rut im stuck in grows around my feet
Standing motionless, stuck in a trance of my own memory
Walking through the ruins
Of someone that I now know no more
Disappearing all I want is more to build back up again

Stagnation fear
A target for my own lifes score
A bleeding wound hungry for more
I cry out

When I find im not disowned I realise its not over
To see my self when not a clone I realise its not over

Flight is getting faster
Travelling through time and brakes don’t work
Its hard to keep old hurts, when new ones ease the pain
Headed for disaster
A jaded flash back fills up in my mind
Leaving me so close but still behind, im out of control again

Stagnation fear
A target for my own lifes score
A lazy wound hungry for more
I cry out

When a jaded flash back goes I realise that its over
When I travel paths that I chose I realise its not over

Sitting in my tower
Vision blurring when I take a step
So its hard to know which direction I am heading in
Looking in the mirror
Wondering just who stares back at me
Or if it can get free, the reflection will break
When im getting tired
Try to rest but time moves forward still
Leaning on the windowsill its my own prison bars

Stagnation fear
A target for my own lives score
A lazy wound hungry for more
I cry out

When my jaded flash back ends I know it must be over
When I don’t know whats in the end I wonder if it’s over
When the past is for the crows I think it might be over
When a new past tries to grow I know it can’t be over

An image in my
Confused mind
I want it back the jaded flashback
The future brings unknown feelings
I look back the jaded flashback

When my jaded flashback ends I know it must be over
When I don’t know whats in the end I wonder if it’s over
When the past is for the crows, I think it might be over
When the past tries to re-grow I know it cant be over

Your turn ...

Your turn ...

That's good! I don't write songs, but I can play them on guitar and piano. Maybe I'll try that one on my guitar if that's okay with you..............

[unriggable]

Of course that counts.
That is art isnt it?

What do you paint?

We should change this to the art thread.

The most random of things. I started a few months ago (with the picture below). The only picture I have ATM on the computer is this W.I.P. of a picture I finished.

A song I wrote and recorded

Is it singing anytime
Hearts are singing anytime
Hearing Time
Speeding Lights
As I held you
you pretend to sleep
A change of set
simplistic scenery
Nothing in this world
Will ever hurt me

Cause The Bells

Cause The Bells

polishing

hear them ring

Cause The Bells

Cause The Bells

Close your eyes
We know you tried
Fall Asleep

[diddle]

i'm awful at writing songs, i think its cos i'm such a perfectionist

Listen to it too

[Heretic]

Well,I thought I'd give my 2 cents here.I used to write poems years ago,when I was a teenager.Most of them somewhat angry,sad,or bittersweet,I think.So,here's a couple of them.And mind you,english is not my native tongue.

---------------------------------------------

The Embrace

Cut me to the deepest,my sweet
the choir of a thousand dead lakes
singing our song in the pale moonlight.
Let us cry together,
this little moment of eternity,
belongs only to us.
The flames of candles cast shadows
on our faces,wet of tears.
As we embrace each other,bleeding dry
the silence,humility,of death
kisses us goodbye.

---------------------------------------------

Mind Of A Fool

Freezing my soul,
I will fall on my own.
This neverending story
a perfect mind f*ck.
Speak with me,my
little fool,my
distorted mind.
Blow me,or kill me
the sensation
remains the same.

---------------------------------------------

Scum

Guilty by conciense,guilty as charged
can't help the killer nature in me
Don't you come getting at me,
I'll crush you down the way
you've never seen before
Total nerves' breakdown,meltdown
just try me,I'll always get up
I'm no angelface,the beast as I am
just f*ck it all,f*ck everything!
Doesn't matter,I'm scum,going insane

[diddle]

i'm awful at writing songs, i think its cos i'm such a perfectionist

but on the other hand i'm great at singing identical copies of artists songs, i like doing tribute concerts

[Dariune]

Wow, i knew there would be some decent artists here hiding in the shadows.

The pic is fantastic, as is the song and poem.

In regards it has guitar written for it, i play guitar to:) But feel free to mess around with it.

When i have more time i might post another song, keep em coming guys (and gals would be nice too)

[slash1890]

I've got some photography I could share if anyone's interested...









I've got hundreds more, but those three are the general favorites.

[unriggable]

[Dariune]

You really do have a talent there mate!!!

Slash you took those photos yourself?
Very professional

[slash1890]

Yup! Thanks, I'm glad you like them. Care to see more?

[unriggable]

Yup! Thanks, I'm glad you like them. Care to see more?

Top right of the first one theres some discoloration...you may want to fix it.

[slash1890]

There's a kite in the background... I re-photoshopped that, and decided to see how it looked with the kite still there. I can see that someone else noticed, so I'll have to mess around with it a little next time I'm working in Photoshop. Thanks for the pointer, though.

[static_ice]

slash, you play tennis?


alright so I'm a graphic designer in training, here's a sample (sorry I couldn't find a way to make them thumbnail size)

I have more on my deviant account, you can just click my sig or my website button


I also like to write, although i haven't written anything since I ended my "emo phase" a few years ago Since then I've been too lazy to write, but everytime I have an idea for something, I jot it down somewhere. So far my notebook is like half-full with little idea tid-bits
