Quod Statera De Coelum Et Infernum

In this world, there is a balance of righteousness and monstrosity that is necessary for humanity to continue its existence.

Quod Statera De Coelum Et Infernum

The Balance of Heaven and Hell

Delicate disciple of arcane arts

Transmute the passion within your hearts

Into folklore born in Romantic Realism

To forever end this social schism

Seductive Sorceress of Deranged Decisions

Granted passage through deception, initiate Voodoo’s inception

With magic and mimicry mastered on your quest

To give the Land of Oz to the Wicked Witch of the West

This world of holy heroes, psychopathic pharaohs

Makeshift saviors and impure imposters

Is balanced by the will and temperance of Aslan

And the unbridled, rampant defiance of Lucifer

True this fact shall remain

Until we are nothing more than glimmering stardust

Troubled troubadour, mediate on your beliefs

Apprentice of Abhorrence, ruminate on your damnable dreams 

Wise Warlocks, draw forth your incantations

To analyze and enchant your worlds with visceral visions

Hesitate not to cast runes onto the masquerade

For change is only obtained by harnessing the powers of Fate

Author's Note

I switched things up quite a lot this time. I tried to capture an old fashioned fantasy vibe with this piece(I've been listening to a lot of old school Nightwish lately). The title is supposed to be Latin, but I don't have anywhere near enough time to actually learn the language from a professional, so I just looked on Google(yes, it is lazy, and if I ever learn Latin, I WILL come back on and change the title if it is wrong). If any of you know Latin, please feel free to tell me whether this is correct or incorrect! So what do you think, was this a hit or a miss? Please be honest, and I hope you enjoyed this piece as much as I enjoyed writing it! :)

I really enjoyed the fantasy element within this piece! I can definitely see how Nightwish could inspire a poem such as this. It seems that in every universe, there is a constant battle between light and dark forces. And it is those battles that allows our minds to turn them into stories. This is probably one of my favorite writings from you, because I love how you applied the fantasy setting :)

P.S. I would have probably used Google too, it's okay. lol

I'm really glad you like this piece, Amber. After so many months of just writing the same old dark, intense poetry, it felt good to once again write something similar to the fantasy like style I used to have, if not a little more refined than the previous ones. The amount of Nightwish I've been listening too lately is ridiculous( I keep blasting albums like Wishmaster and Oceanborn constantly), and to top it off, I recently started playing Skyrim again, so I guess those two were the inspiration I really needed to get out of my rut.

Google may be incorrect, but I decided to take the risk FOR TEH SAKE OF VARIETY! Lol.

I only know a few of their songs, but from the few I know and mix that with Skyrim, this poem makes total sense! RPGs make great inspiration for writing, they constantly fuel the imagination!
Lol plus, things just sound cool in Latin! :)

[DoormanDan]

Indeed they do, and yes, Latin is the badass of languages. :)

Amazing construct and beautiful words, loved this it's a joy to read because it's so imaginative. So many different angles to this poem, so much to absorb, just fantastic! My favourite lines are: "True this fact shall remain
Until we are nothing more than glimmering stardust" it's so beautiful and so melancholy at the same time. Also love the way the poem looks, excellent work all round x

I'm glad you found this piece to be entertaining! That section of the poem is what I consider to be the monologue part. Thanks for reviewing. :)
