ODE FOR A DEAD MOON

                     
                  The room is full of papers
                  Filled with dusty bookshelves
                  Like no one has ever visited it
                  A dim light slowly appears
                  But as you come close
                  Everything gets dark
                  As I walked into this dark room
                  I noticed the Moon
                  She seems too red today
                  I can't keep gazing long
                  Like a schizophrenic man
                  Staring with his perplexed eyes
                  Red is an alert colour
                  It's not like the blossom of our hair
                  It's the blood-red
                  That makes your heart shiver
                  I, too, was living in constant fear
                  For twenty whole years.
                  I held the Moon in my hands
                  And captured her out of the dark room
                  Hesitating at first
                  Looking at her with pity
                  I locked my cats outside in the cold
                  Left them crying there alone
                  Their shrieks were haunting me
                  But they shouldn't see the murder
                  I killed the Moon with my own hands
                  I became a murderer of my greatest fear.

INTRODUCTION

Hello everyone. My name is Eireen (actually it's Eirini in Greek, but I'd simply go along with the Irish name :) ), I'm 20 and a student of Linguistics. I used to have another blog in Wordpress, but after running it for 3 years and a half, I thought I had to call it quits, because I couldn't handle with it anymore. I decided to start a new blog here right from the beginning. The reason why I started this was my urge to tell stories. Any kind of stories concerning music, poetry, languages, films, nature, science, fantasy, philosophy, history, folklore, and storytelling itself. I use the term "story", as I love it and I also adore narrating everything. I sort of live in my own world, imagining situations and I do that when I'm simply listening to music and walking. I listen to lots of kinds of music, but most of all I prefer soundtrack, Celtic, Ethnic, Psychedelic Rock. When I was a teen I was really hooked on Metal. I thought Doom and Black Metal was a pur...

HUMAN :||: NATURE

Hello, once again. Today, I'm going to do something COMPLETELY different. I'm not going to write exactly about the impact that a work of art had on me. But instead I'm going to write a review about an album, which was released in April 2020. And what I'm writing about is Nightwish's ninth studio album, Human :||: Nature. Well, you can pronounce it as you like. I pronounce it simply "Human Nature" and Tuomas Holopainen pronounced it "Human Dot Nature Dot". What do those symbols mean? Well, this is a mystery to the fans, although Holopainen has said there is indeed a meaning to them, but let's keep it a mystery. My own guess, though, is that it has something to do with music notation. In music the symbol " :|| " means repetition of the passage, so who knows? This is nothing, but my own guess and by no means does it mean that I found the meaning behind these symbols. So, here we go. Human Nature starts with a song called Music. Th...
