Human Will (Essay)
6 Views

Will is the strength of a person's mind to overcome and cause change. Some believe that it is done by someone wanting it and them doing it physically, some believe that the sending of energy (magic) is also a way of sending out your will. Either way, there is one thing that causes will to work. That is focusing upon that which is desired. So in a way we could say will is ambition, the drive, the desire to achieve whatever it is that individual wants.
There are exceptions. Someone with a strong will, if they lack the level of intelligence needed, will not be successful. Take for instance a person that is extremely strong, yet stupid... they can't physically open a locked safe. Now, a person that is smart will figure out a way to do it. Which also brings another point. Will also has to be used in a way that works for that person.
Some believe in magic, if they believe it works, then that will give them a boost to achieve whatever it is. Say someone does a lust spell. They cast it. They feel more alluring, sexier, more confident. Therefore, they act the part and have should have better luck. Someone else might use say a more direct way... wearing a particular cologne or perfume, dressing in a particular fashion/style for that particular person they desire.
Those are just examples. Either way though it affects the person. The power of will has to be backed up by action. Will reinforces as well, but if I cast a spell, it won't happen if I sit in my room. I have to go out and still strive for it. So also we have to say that will has to be within reason. The 3rd grader that "loves" Carmen Electra will not have a chance. One must be realistic about one's goals as well, that means that one must know themself, their faults, limitations, strenghts and weaknesses. Now by doing that is mastering yourself. By knowing yourself you understand what you are capable of and can apply that and achieve that it is which you want as long as it is within their capabilities.

Night Child (Essay)
5 Views

The night is filled with that which is of the unseen and unknown. Whether it be the sounds of the animals, the stars, silence, or the beautiful yet mourful sounds of the wind. Each of these are mysteries of the night. The night encompasses all things, and brings out that which mystifies and terrifies at the same time. It helps to remind us of our mortality, to the animal we call human. Yet as we strive, we look to the night for answers, to ourselves, our being, and who and what we are.
The night is mystery. It represents all that which is unknown and unseen, Uncertainty of what is and what is not there. What is truth and what is not. All of these things reside both outside and inside ourselves. It is the unknown that challenges us and calls to us to discover for ourselves.
The night is emotion. The clang of the flag pole in the wind, which is no longer flying it's flag brings a mournful feeling, and in a way, loss. As That pole which proudly stands durring the day, which is now empty at night. The mournful feelings of solitude of walking down an empty street which used to be busy. Terrifying as unknown noise in a dark alley or forest. The night can be as romatic as a full moon and stars, the sounds of invisible waves on an unlit shore. Peacefull as a warm or cool breeze, sounds of crickets and frogs in the distance, or just the silence of humaity that brings things back to it's natural state.
The night is an inward journey. It reminds us of who and what we are. When one is surrounded by that which is unknown, one tends to find something that is. That source is yourself. You learn about yourself, your fears, senses, everything. It is a time of self discovery and realization. You compare the things you hear, see, feel, and sense to yourself weather you realize this or not. You focus on how it feels. Through which one gets to know one's self better.
The night is calling. It is the reminder of our humanity and the combonation of everything stated above that pulls and calls to us. The unknown, the emotion, and yet beauty of it all. It reminds us of how fragile and yet powerfull we are all at the same time. The darkness constantly tests us and calls to us. Do we answer its challenge and enter into it's unknown depths to discover what lies both without and within.

Nelphim's Beckoning (Poem)
5 Views

Scarlet laced with midnight,
Flowing through these veins,
Behind the eyes a mystery,
In yours I see the same,
Wings that have not mended,
From an unsurpassing fall,
Golden peaks to darkest valleys,
Encompassing it all,
Sun eclipses moon, moon eclipses sun,
Unseen by the eyes of man,
Ere the age of time begun,
The land of Nod beckons,
It's comforting embrace,
With an outstreched hand,
From Nelphim's smiling face,
Gaurdian of Night,
Gaurdian of Day,
Within infernal rapture,
This wicked world we play.

Winter Lust (Poem)
5 Views

Icy breath,
No regrets,
Full moon's chill,
My own will,
Take my hand,
By my side,
In the dark,
Where I reside,
Close your eyes,
Call my name,
Brightly burns,
Blackened flame,
Kiss of lust,
Dust to dust,
Sweat that's sweet,
Infernal heat,
Passions rise,
Haunting echos fill the skies.

Within (Poem)

I guess I am the product,
Of the demons of my past,
Fierce pride in who I am,
Deterimation, stubborness,
Torn down by smallest things,
I always feel alone,
I am still searching,
Break down my walls of cold,
My hands are reaching out,
But seldom do I find,
A hand willing to pull me up,
Once they see what is inside,
I am kind as I am cold,
Gentle but just as fierce,
Youth with wisdom old,
Joy while shedding tears,
I mostly know betrayal,
I've learned to walk alone,
On the paths less traveled,
But with a will of stone,
Solitude brings pain,
I wish for one who understands,
Me in person and in spirit,
And why this way I am,
I am all things in one,
I am darkness, as well as light,
I am balance and yet chaos,
Sun of day and moon at night,
I want people to know me,
Most can't understand,
That which is within me,
My difference is not bad.
I am the waves on an unlit shore,
The unknow noise you hear at night,
The feeling of peace and passion,
The instincts fight or flight,
I feel the walls around me tighten,
Ignorant but yet enlightened,
Potential remains locked inside,
But why is it I try to hide?
I can see,
Yet I'm blind,
Internal peace,
I need to find,
I am passion,
I am rage,
I am freedom,
I am caged,
I am nothing,
I am all,
I am uplifted,
While I fall.
