It was while sitting under the tree in his parents now abandoned house that he realised that the world was going to end. It started with a darkening in the sky. And followed after with a pushing, punishing wind that built and built and built until he felt it would tear the air from his lungs. He screamed into the night and the power that was unfurling around him and the world died. Not with whimper at all, but with hell and fury unleashed. After the roaring of the wind came the explosions. Though this seems far too tame a word for what he heard. The air seemed to solidify and rather than pass through him it hit like a 20 ton truck. He flew. S
I realised today I carry the stigmata of your affection.
A sign sent ever, only to the truly devout.
While my eyes did not cry blood,
my heart poured forth with water
and I was succoured to know you where the wellspring.
Upon my introspective meanderings,
I came upon a valley flowing with fire.
The flora and fauna remained unconsumed by the flickering,
licking,
teasing,
tasting
flames.
As I gazed on the valley,
taking in it's breathtaking glory,
I spied in the distance two mountains
of such awe inspiring grace my tongue is cleft to my palate.
I journeyed then to these peaks
which so took my soul and foun
There's a mist in my mind
and it's there all time.
I can't see past the white,
And it's sending me blind.
I can't see where I'm going,
Can I please hold your hand?
Some sign will you give?
Just a smile or a wink.
It's fallen to me to find the way,
But the sky has fallen and my feet are clay.
I feel alone when I'm next to you,
But when you smile I'm lost in the truth,
Of the pleasure of being with you,
My beautiful thing.
A bitter pill I take today
to make the pain go away.
I wallow in a misery
prison of my own mentality.
I wash away on waves so high
Disappear to a mountain light
On eagles wings,
Born away.
A bitter pill, yesterday.
I work a word to a noose,
Hung on my own vanity.
I float away on sunken ships,
Bang my head on beautiful riffs.
Words wrung from misery,
I lonf for an end to mystery.
WOrds spoken from those long dead
Electrify my soul with their mastery,
Of the bitter pill I take today,
To make my pain go away.
As time goes by in the Killing Fileds,
Blood soaks my sweat drenched body.
Scattered enemies converge on me,
And I scream in defiance:
"I will know you blood,
I will slake my thirst on you.
In the killing fields
Time is eternal,
Elysian fields, no more,
As I lead my army
To overthrow your joyous afterlife.
Your homes are burnt,
Your children lay slain,
You have nothing left,
So turn you face to me.
Let us rage in eternal battle splendour.
Let our souls unite as warriors in bloodshed.
Your rage is mine,
And mine is yours.
A glorious blood stained union.
On the Killing Fields."

I see a man with two faces.
His left face is white and bears the marks of death.
He knows every mans time, from start to finish.
His right face is red and bears the marks of life.
He knows every womans time, from start to finish.
In his left hand he holds a radiance, a shimering of light pure in its whiteness.
In his right hand he holds a pillar of flame, its peak is beyond the reach of mortal knowledge.
He is robed in a splendourous blue, embroidered with patterns that tell a story whose meaning is yet to be unravelled.
He stands atop a peak that no explorer has ever found.
Its summit is beyond the reach of thought and the as
Fear is within me now.
I have taken the sacrement
But a terror has assailed me.
Where is the divine light?
Am I to be alone here?
No,
I am not alone,
but still I am consumed.
this terror surrounds me,
invades me,
it posseses me.
I do not want it's gifts
but they are forced onto me,
Pushed through my spine
and force fed to my ego.
I am unable to breathe.
What is breath?
HA! I do not need to breathe.
how gloriously,
terrifyingly empty I feel.
I see you now my beautiful elves,
Your complex machines.
Geometric love.
How could I have feared?
Yes and now we can speak,
forever.
even though your presence fades
You touch me
Alas for my heart trampled and beaten down.
Am I forever to be silent in my emotion,
Kept quiet and imprisoned by emotional pride.
Will I never say those happy words,
For fear of what it may do.
I scoffed at friends for speaking,
Allowing heart to rule over mind.
But thay have said what is said,
And I am locked in a cage of my own making,
Prisoner of my own rhetoric,
Chained to my hearts desire,
Unable to touch him with my words.
I love you and I think you love me.
But how proud we are of being untouchable,
Never letting emotion better us.
Externally.
While inside we writhe and scream,
As angels torment us with hopes we cann
The Tears I leave in my Wake by digitalight, literature
Literature
The Tears I leave in my Wake
Why is it that the tears of women fill my footsteps?
Is it perhaps that they are trying to wash my mark away?
If their tears continue to fall then all those memories of me will be cleansed from the earth,
and I will no longer infuse a beautiful face with a painful memory.
I am damned it seems, forever to be a heartbreaker.
My cheeks are dry, while those I have touched are drenched in the pain I leave in my wake
I would cleanse the earth of my taint if I weren't such a coward
Words fail me and sleep eludes me.
More tears on my bedsheets.
Another who can't bear to see me.
How long till all this will be again?
Once in the land of Iggaboo there lived a girl named Ania. She was beautful as the day is long (a summer day, well the summer solstice to be exact). She had hair you could weep to look at (if you were that way inclined and prone to bouts of aggravated crying over stupid things). She used to sit in a tree during those long summer days of her youth and dream of a young handsome man who could come and whisk her away to somehwere that had better healthcare and a decent school system, for she was a sensible girl was our Ania.
One day an old and gnarled man(I thought that was a description of trees, gnarled. Nevermind) approached her tree and p
Roger the three legged spider
Had something of a disaster
when out on the hunt for food
he met an irritable mole
the mole did laugh
to see the cripple
until our roger
in an act of derring do
did climb aboard the mole
and irritated him so
"I am upon you now"
He did cry
Well the mole was most upset
and verily did he cry
but Roger just poked him in the eye
"You win" said the mole
"I will never laugh at a cripple again."
"I know." said roger
and killed him on the spot.
A thick-wrapped night, where fog,
like weeds, had sprung
and drowned Decatur Street,
'cept for a few lit eateries;
spitballs of dotted light.
A figure, running
like The Man was licking
at its neck, a teary ribbon
down its cheek a-dripping
pooling at the throat.
Wet, rib-shaking sobs blew lungs
already straining from the run,
my heart a rabid, raving felon
hammering his bars.
His prints still smeared across my wrist,
his voice an earworm drilling fast
into my brain, I dove into the mist:
a veil of doors.
A girl, a boy, I could not care,
had it been Jesus standing there
arm interlinked with that bold whore
Another blue ceiling, shadow-choked and unfamiliar,
stares back in sympathy - withered paint crackling
with unshed dust and old-man's tales of long ago,
a silent confidante with blown-bulb twilit wisdom -
It's comfort as cold as this half-empty bed.
Cataleptic - a midnight-waker with four hours lost
and the ceiling is shadow-smothered, blue gone grey
like old-man's ashes spread out over this dark grave
of a room - dust unto dust in the throat, and coughing
with all the enthusiasm of russian roulette.
Pull the trigger on the TV remote to no effect -
3am and the damn thing's still dead, the traitor
with screen black like a post-midn
I've decided that as I am seemingly incapable of writing a full story, and my poetry is prett crap I'm just going to write a large collection vignettes.
Though why I'm bothering to say so on here is beyond me. I doubt anyone still checks to see if I've updated. Ah well, such is life.
Well I finally moved flat. Got myself a beautiful girlfriend. Now just need a job....
Things are finally on the up. Got a brand spanking new 8mbit connection to go with the new flat, and I'm teaching myself to draw.
I know, yet another thing I'm learning and will no doubt stop in time, but who knows, this might finally be the thing that gets me to stick at something.
Not been writing, been to busy with the girlfriend and finding a place to live and such.
ho hum, that's it really.
Hopefully I'll have some manga style drawing to post soon :)
