Entries to the Max Payne Dev.com POTF Poem Competition: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: The Muse POET: acheronprime ENTRY: Some nights i endlessly stare, upon the static of glare. But with the right sound, answers they are found. For the music that may inspire a man, is a true wonder by far. The poets bring fire unto my life, and end my stirring nights and endless strife. An inspired man much like my self, in college and having not much wealth. The late goodbyes that last forever, seem much shorter while driving in my car. The satisfaction that the music does gives me, is by far the greatest gift of all to be. Now most would have to beg and plead, but implore i do my lasting need. for the music that do i love so, without proper respect it can bear a scar. now here i leave you to decide, who may stay and who may ride. but think of this as i do part, music is truly appreciated in one's heart. For the music that may inspire a man, is a true wonder by far. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: Will in me POET: Iiris ENTRY: Poets of The Fall, it has to be, without it, there is no more. It's made for me, the strings of music, the silence within, can hear me. The wings it grows, the grief it desires, forever waiting, I need them to be. The endless yearning, it makes me feel, the love I've always felt, can see me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: A Poem For Poets POET: monk ENTRY: Lying in some dingles I thought it would be nice To win those POTF-singles Because otherwise I have to steal a llama Down in the cold deserts of Uruguay From a wankered part-time farmer While watching ?The Bridge on the River Kwai? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: I'm a loser POET: coreyferguson ENTRY: others always seem to win flaunt it in my face i have no luck, it has always been Poets of the fall have soul and grace their lyrics have saved me and my soul stopped the anger from within I wish to thank them personally most of all but it's a long drive to Helsinki, Findland the U.S. doesn't carry their tunes my only outlet is from the poets of the fall I am a fan and have them in my room because I have been such a loser all my life I'm a loser, you can make me a winner ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: Falling for Reasons POET: thebirdman ENTRY: I face each day, a lonely poet without thought I write with heart and my inspirations cds cant be bought i tell my love why must they take the beautiful ones away and she tells me maybe tomarrow will be a better day ive followed them from the falls start and i need the cds and mean it from my heart i listen to the poets with the lights dimmed and i close the shades. and when i wake up the worlds blurry and everything fades i cant see for gods sake my views distorted while the falls continue but im still awake if i got the cd and single my heart and spirit would lift if poets of the fall ever dissapeared through the sands if time i would sift The poets mean so much to me and ill always be a fan so mark ollie and captian all of you are the man so i can hope and pray i win and thanx for giving my a try and ill just keep being loyal and i bid you all a late goodbye. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: The Poets POET: Hydramus ENTRY: Listen to me to now, Hear what I have to say, They may not be the honey on my tongue Or the sugar in my tea, But are the voices in my head, They speak the words that keep running in my head, They are the Poets of the Fall. The stories in which they tell, Shows everyone their way, The rhythm goes through my mind Changing the way I feel, The way I think, sleep, and live But I know one thing for sure, That they have become a part of me. I listen well, I listen plenty, This isn't just for a prize, But my praise and respect to them, A band that everyone should thank, For all they have done for us, From a Poet to another, I give my thanks to you. By Joshua Sung ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: To high and fast POET: Mika *Max Payne* ENTRY: In the dark night, I played Max Payne 2 to the end I and when I heard PotF - Late Goodbye, I was sure that that band will go high. PotF has so great voice and they play so great music together. Mark sings so great, Ollie plays his guitar and Captain mixes the song to the perfect. I like PotF cause they make different kind of music that been popular before, It is rock and something else. And PotF are really poets when they do words to theyr songs, the songs are so beatiful that I have never heard as great songs before. So that's why I was sure that, the PotF will go high and fast. And as you see... I was right. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: Poets of the Fall POET: Mika *Max Payne* ENTRY: Poets Of The Fall was born in 2002 in Finland. PotF has 3 members. Singer is Mark, Ollie plays guitar and Captain mix the songs to perfect. They made their first song for Max Payne 2. The song name is Late Goodbye. And that was unbealivible, fantastic song. Of course players did noticed it too. All the time PotF was going to be more and more famous... and they will do it all the time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: The Fall of a Fraeon POET: Fraeon ENTRY: The leaves are dropping saddening a peon one that has a name Yes indeed, it's Fraeon Oh how he'd like a poets of the fall single and perhaps a bike and the bells going jingle jingle Why is it that he'd like one, perhaps two? Because Fraeon will buy the album although he's a lousy bum with the money he'd need to use the loo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: Asking POET: Fraeon ENTRY: Is it any use to ask the question? Is there any reason to answer such an inquisition? Will I get a single after the bells go jingle I have no reason other than this: Poets of the Fall are no band to diss but I have no money after this season So there is your reason But where is my single? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: 'The Poet's' at christmas POET: petespencer ENTRY: Tis the night before christmas And logging online To a site that i visit A lot of the time: "Two cd's ive wanted! A wonderful gift! 'Late goodbye's' awesome, And i havent heard 'lift'." I own neither singles, I'm British by birth And i can't seem to buy them On this part of earth. So pondering over The words that best fit, I work on a poem To win me free kit. "What rhymes with 'The Poets'?" "The rhythm's all wrong!" "This stanza's ill matching, The fluency's gone!!" I'm failing to flatter, Show skill or impress; And I'm saddened to submit Such prosaic mess. So the night before christmas, Straight after my dinner; I'm writing this poem, Please claim me the winner!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: I'm Broke POET: jenkins ENTRY: Poets Of the Fall mesmerize, ensnare, and awe, They hold us enthralled The vivid pictures they draw pull me in, and refuse to let go. I yearn for these singles, I'd gladly pay their weight in gold But instead, must write this little jingle Perhaps I'll win, if my story is told. You see, I've purchased these before But alas, they've been lost in the mail. These cds are not available on my shore so I must have these, I cannot fail. Music is the biggest part of me, And this band helps make it better, so I really must have this cd. I can't afford it again, I'm alreadly dealing with the debtor. My engine's burnt, I'm 2 grand in the hole maybe this cd could make life finer, maybe it could mend my soul. I'm not a good poet, so this will have to do I really hope I win, but I guess that's up to you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: A Story POET: ValkyrInsane ENTRY: When there was cold shrill rain outside, I was at empty home,tortured my mind. Played hide and seek to set myself free, Mixing up a real world with mad fantasy. Thundered final shot,black screen appeared, Enchanting sounds had run thru my fear. I heard this magic chords,forgot about all, And felt how it waked up my tired soul. The anger,hatred and scratching pain, Suddenly like everything faded away. Just one question stuck inside my head, Who does make music that drives me mad? And answer soon found my insane eyes, Poets of the Fall - is name of these guys. Thanks to them I had learned to breathe, And I've found again a reason to live. In time of madness and moments of bleak, They made me strong when I was feeling weak. Can't find their singles in stores,and how? When you're living in big country,but in little town? I lust for that music,like mad, more and more, Can you understand? it saves me from bore! From solitude,misunderstanding, despair! From stupid wild crowd,who always don't care! But I remember: my life was like haze, Before there was no any passion or blaze. And I,who bring horror, who will find a rest not! I, who was born with green eyes and green blood! I believe, that I can have a beautiful soul! You will see, my heart isn't made out of stone! Poets gave me a light,can call it salvation, Now I am feeling strange kind of sensation. I'm insane as before,but something were changed, In nature,which was full of perverted rage. Now all in Your hands as well as my destiny, Will You give me a chance or keep on to hate me?.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: Autumn in my heart POET: Poetress ENTRY: You write your poems to the fall, coldness and wind. When it's fall and leaves are falling like tears down from trees. I fall in love with a poet. That's my fall, even worse than the first Fall made ages ago by Adam and Eve. My love is like a fall of a lamb, so painfull and unexpected. But my Paradise is lost without you, Poets of the Fall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POEM TITLE: Without music there CanBeNoLove POET: storm_ro ENTRY: I thought that "everything fades away" When the colours turned up in grey, It was a "late goodbye" in a painfull way. But it all ended that day: I was listening Poets Of The Fall, When you gave me that call. You said you're sorry, I said "it was nothing, don't worry". You put back the colours into my eyes, I was walking above it all, "higher in the sky", when I realized That a love so true can be possible only for me and you! I was singing to you the chorus from the song "Lift", Always being rewarded with a kiss as a gift. But then you had to go away... America - it's such a long way! But one day I will come there to give you my hand, To walk together a road that has no end, Where the album will be the only sound, You know that my love for you is overbound! But until then, you know what I miss? That song and your kiss... I need this for my girlfriend, The album of an outstanding rock band, It's nothing perfect than the album of POTF To put in the ring and ask her "Will you marry me?" -----------------------------------------------------------------------
