CHAPTER 1: The Turning

 

It was a cold and well lit night
The full moon was shining proud and bright
alone I was walking under the city lights
Self-contemplating, oblivious of everything else in sight

 

Finding no more purpose and no more reason to live
Finding no one with love to give
With nothing more to lose and nothing more to believe
Confused, wishing to die while still wishing to live

 

Unbeknownst of the presence that is inkling
The presence of the death dealer watching
In my wavering state I have been found wanting
Caught in the eyes of the hunter that was stalking

 

In the blink of an eye, even with all might, I was easily captured
Gazing upon her crimson eyes like that of a Raven’s,
I was weakened and mesmerized like was hypnotized
My strength and my will became like that of a ship that was capsized

 

Piercing my flesh draining me of life slowly
Savouring every ounce feeding off the life in me
then halting suddenly, she looks at me as if with mercy
Little did I know that she found me worthy
To cease being the hunted and be like the great hunter that is She
Weakened as I was, I passed out slowly

 

feeling a dead coldness as I awakened
still intensely pale and weakened
There she was staring at me around the bend
In an instant she was beside me

 

Piercing her skin compelling me to feed
Feeling this intense weakness and hunger in me
I succumbed to the temptation and fed voraciously
With the desire of draining every ounce of her intently
Enough! She exclaimed weakly
I stopped hesitantly while she fell weakened quickly

 

After a moment of feeding
I felt intense pain and agony as if I was burning
Then she tells me that I am dying
That from the inside I was virulently changing
Slowly dying to be reborn cursed with life unending
To be reborn as a corrupted being

 

In that moment I saw Lord Death visiting me
And then he waved goodbye saying he will never ever come back for me
With a sudden rush I opened my eyes like a newborn child
Then a sudden influx of ardour to feed filled me

 

Reborn with thirst for crimson blood that which is unquenchable
And hunger that which is insatiable
Seizing to be the hunted and becoming the hunter, the monster
Clever, beautiful, and alluring with sophistication that which is incomprehensible

 

Forever wandering
Constantly stalking
Constantly preying
Constantly hunting
Constantly waiting for a killing
Constantly thirsting for a blood letting

 

Cursed to always remember what has passed
Cursed to witness what the future may pass
Cursed to see what’s currently at hand
A soul damned to forever roam the land

 

To be continued…

 

Gazing upon her crimson eyes like that of a Raven’s, I was weakened and mesmerized, like was hypnotized. My strength and my will became like that of a ship that was capsized.

Fallen

Fallen
A Tragic Story…
By: Julian Corvinus Javier
Date: October 24, 2011 @ 4:53PM GMT +8
 

Stricken down smitten…
A soul torn to utter ruin…

 

Kicked out to rejection…
Never again to find redemption…

 

Betrayed but marked as the betrayer…
Condemned to be damned forever…

 

Cast out to chaos…
Banished to be lost…

 

Exiled to pure darkness…
Destined to be devoured by the crazed madness…

 

Never again to find peace…
Forever never ever to be at ease…

 

Hauling too heavy a burden…
Amidst the plains of torment…

 

With limbs crippled and broken…
Struggling to stand back up and walk again…
With wings black and broken…
Striving to be able to fly again…

 

Always hoping and constantly praying…
That it’s all but a dream that’s slowly fleeting…
To soon wake up with black wings spread wide through the skies soaring…
Glimpses of light and hope inkling while slowly dissipating…

 

With life unending yet inside slowly dying…
Bound to the land of the living…
Amidst pain, turmoil, and constant suffering…
Hoping and praying for a saviour that’s never coming…

 

The Fallen

A False Hope

A False Hope…
A poem about finite infinity…
By: Julian Corvinus Javier
Date: October 5, 2011 @ 7:19PM GMT +8

I guess it’s now over…
… if not near end…
I’m again mindful and sober…
From this day of ecstasy…
…drunk with pseudo infinite power…
… if not near end…
It’s almost over…

 

I am dead if not dying…
Within myself hardly breathing…
Clarity decimating…
Within myself sanity’s grip is losing…

 

Must have energy…
Must gain more sanity…
From the fumes of insanity…
… that slowly corrupts me…

 

Take my life…
And give me your overflowing vitality…
Your sought for finite infinity…

 

Take my heart…
Just bring me happiness…
Lift me up from this overwhelming sadness…

 

Take my soul…
And bring me soundness…
Take me away from this forlorn madness…

 

Set to forget…
What false power has set…
Within self doubt I am again beset…
My life caught amidst insanity’s net…

 

Transient power depleting…
Slowly fleeting…
Slowly fading…
Into thin air dissipating…
All is but a lucid dream…
A dance with the devil both deadly and fulfilling…

 

My death fast approaching me…
The Red Raven awaits me…

 

The Raven awaits me...

A Sudden Rush

A Sudden Rush
An Unorthodox Choka Poem of a Euphoric Torment…
A Story of a Soul who found an Interim Happiness, Slowly Fading Away…
By: Julian Corvinus Javier
Date: October 1, 2011 @ 8:16PM GMT +8
 

Rushing through my veins…
A torrent of vehemence…

 

My pain dissipates…
A renewed vigour once more…

 

Keeping me alive…
In the moment of pure bliss…

 

And within myself…
Fusing with my ebb and flow…
Swarming my senses…
A deluge of ideas…
A frenzied influx of thoughts…

 

My spirit reveals…
What I can’t see through the haze…
Clear moments, so ecstatic…
My soul slowly oozing out…
Every drop of life within…

 

Through all provisions…
Moments of infinity…
All vain facades..
And interim nirvana…
I’m flourishing through torment…

 

Calmly I’m fading…
Converging with euphoria…
Through life’s destined end…

Dragon Breath

Dragon Breath
Inside the Mind of an Addicted Fiend…
By: Julian Corvinus Javier
Date: September 20, 2011 @ 5:57PM GMT +8
 

Each pass of the dragon’s fire…
Burns to fulfil my heart and body’s hunger and desire…

 

Breathing in, inhaling in its fumes…
Slowly inhaling in its energizing doom…
I feel no more loom…
… no more gloom…

 

Moments of clarity…
… suddenly abounds in my psyche…
Setting me free…
… from the chains that bind me…

 

My soul energized…
… fully revitalized…

 

I feel like I’m again fully alive…
I feel like I will forever survive…
Never again will I feel so tired…
Never have I felt so alive…

 

Creeping down… melting…
Slowly dissipating…

 

Suddenly, I feel no more toil…
Feeling deprived of my lingering turmoil…

 

Like the Red Raven has chosen to recall…
…and unearth me from Mother Earth’s heavy and rich soil…

 

It’s a soul corrosive poison…
That works like a magical healing potion…
Giving me back my life again…
… alive in constant motion…
Re-animating me by means of coercion…

 

Hastening my life to the time of my death…
Reviving is the fiery dragon’s incinerating breath…
Caving in on my chest…
Is my sanity’s behest…

 

Resurrecting my slowly dying life’s pace…
Staring at Lord Death’s face…

 

From the top of his head down to the floor…
Knocking on Lord Death’s door…

 

The Corrupted Souls

Post Murum Insania

Post Murum Insania (Behind the Walls of Madness)
My First Latin Poem…
By: Julian Corvinus Javier
Date: September 19, 2011 @ 12:57PM GMT +8

Original Latin:
Post murum insania…
I manantem cruore fluens lente…
Pugnare enim mens sana…
Virtus infinita versus obiectum immobilis…
Chaos sparsa…
Cum fractis animis…
Cum fractis cordis…
Pulsans ad ostium mortis…
Est somnium inaccessus…
Post murum insania…

 

Translated English:
Behind the walls of madness…
My blood drips flowing slowly…
Fighting for my sanity…
An unstoppable force crashing towards an immovable object…
Chaos scatters…
With broken minds…
With broken hearts…
Knocking on death’s doorway…
Unreachable is the dream…
Behind the walls of madness…

Death creeps the doorway…
Mewing in pain and anguish…
A kitty dying…

 

Hearkening under my roof…
Without the power to save…

The Red Raven’s Song

The Red Raven’s Song
The Song of the Watchman…
The Official Poem of This Blog
By: Julian Corvinus Javier
Date: September 15, 2011 @ 1:43PM GMT +8
 

Remember, remember…
Memento Mori…
Nothing lasts forever…
Remember your mortality…

 

I am the red raven.
Red is my lustre…
…and Black is my plumage…
My duty is to deliver your soul…
To carry you to the afterlife…

 

Perched on the tree of your life…
I am there sitting…
I am there watching…
I am there waiting…
For your life’s inevitable demise…

 

In your final moments, your darkest hour…
While your life passes before your eyes…
While death creeps slowly through your veins to devour…
while you’re struggling, fighting for your the last gasps of air to breath…
At the time of your mortal life’s end…

 

I will be there perched on your life’s tree…
I will be there sitting…
I will be there watching…
I will be there waiting…

 

Remember, remember…
Memento Mori…
Nothing lasts forever…
Remember your mortality…

 

I will be there in your last moments…
In that moment, I will race to you quickly…
With my talons, I will snag your soul…
…Swiftly, separating your soul from your mortal body…

 

In the blink of an eye…
Your long torment…
Your ardent struggle…
Will end instantly…

 

The next time you wake…
Will be a new a new life, a new beginning…
Immortal and unending…

 

In your final hour till your last moment…
When I come forth do not be in lament…
Be at peace when you catch a glimpse of me landing…
On a tree watching you while perching…
For I have come to end your life’s painful tormenting…
To attend to your pain, your long and arduous suffering…

News: New Background for The Red Raven

Dear Readers,

 

I have just updated my blog’s appearance.
I changed the wallpaper to a more appropriate wallpaper to match the blog’s theme.
I call it Huginn and Muninn.
I hope it scares the shit out of you and I hope it matches “The Red Raven” that much.
It’s optimized for widescreen monitors some of you guys (especially those using a 4:3 15inch monitor) might see the raven on the left cut off but if you are using a 16:9 (whether 15inches and above) widescreen monitor you can view the way it is.

Thanks for reading!

 

Sincerely,

 

Julian Corvinus Javier
The Crimson Crow
