Tell me your stories and sing me your sketchbooks- I want to learn the scars on your knees like the winter constellations. We can teach each other much about nothing in these days of August left to us. Let's get weird at night and talk about the world as we see it while Vega arcs overhead to remind us of the time. Hold on a little closer to stay up a little later so that tomorrow finds our silence between bites of an apples and pages of comics warm and tender. Maps of our lives will someday detail our places: the path to the overgrown park, sweet and tangy like September grapes, like sumac tea and forbidden fruits the roof of your house,

Empty Hospital Bed by aussiebrd23, literature

Literature

Empty Hospital Bed

I got the call at 3am An accident, they said And the love of my life was lying in a cold grey hospital bed She never saw it coming Her drink messed with her head And the love of my life is lying in a cold grey hospital bed. You'll be alright, you'll make it through This couldn't happen to a girl like you You're the one that keeps me strong Darling, please don't sleep too long A nurse came by to check her heart Couldn't hear a word she said Cause the love of my life was lying in a cold grey hospital bed At 5am they took her in Her sheets were stained blood-red From where the love of my life was lying in a cold grey hospital bed You'll be alri

Literature

Mirror Girl

Look at me. I'm not the perfect girl you want to see I'm not the kind of girl you're proud of not the kind of girl I ever meant to be. I caused fights between you and Mom, I snuck out at night. You shook the ceiling, I was scared so I lashed out in my anger and fright. But I'm no mirror girl I'll say what I want to say If that's too much for you I'll be on my way. Look at me. So very different from your fantasy. I make bad choices for a little love No longer groomed impeccably. It was hard Trying to always play a part Couldn't take the limelight and the makeup I was a crazy wild card. But I'm no mirror girl I'll say what I want to say If t

Literature

Aftermath

For the first few weeks afterwards, I wasn't me. I was china, I was glass. Someone to hide, someone to pity. Now it's later. A year, almost. And the pain is still keeping me broken, keeping me whole. It's the little things that get me now. Coconut ice cream. Cellos. Pretzels baking. Those things stop me, drag me back to the days when it came crashing down. And pain keeps me broken, keeps me whole. It's better now. People have forgotten, kept it away. As if it was catching-hah! But the dreams are still there. And still I am broken. And still I am whole

Literature

Leave (GUMI)

I headed down the lane on an orange autumn day And hid my thoughts in the fallen leaves I’ve cried so many times and my hands have touched my eyes until I can’t feel them anymore I’m going towards the railroad station waiting for the next promise You don’t have to pretend for my sake to keep our distance to run away from what’s bound to happen I know I have to say goodbye the person I’m seeing in front of my face is hidden in a room where I’ve lost the password the words that you told me to start the story remained and reflected themselves in my teary eyes there’s a clock tower bell that

Meltdown

I feel the light wrap itself all around me and I taste a hint of snow on the air I’m still awake I’m tired and it’s 2 am My bed is cold, there’s no one there There is no heat in my soul tonight As if a monster’s eating at me from inside I know my whole life has been a lie I know tonight that this will lead to the end And as I dreamed, you were on the floor just gasping for air My fingers wrapped your neck in a teasing hug that released all of The life from your shuddering body and soul While violent crimes were silently filling my eyes Take me to a core so dark and deep I think I’ll finally take the lea

Literature

Answer

Time has passed me faster and faster Can’t forget what we did together My pain has faded now Although I don’t know how Looking back I start to remember All the plans we made for forever It’s funny but I know I need to let you go The picture was frozen, now it starts to move again I don’t know what’ll happen next Those feelings that held me down for so long Now fly off like a bird I don’t know how something that caused me all this pain Is something just like I used to daydream of I still hear your voice even though my ears are closed to you You’re calling my name the way you always did. I don’

City Lights by MikkiMarie, literature

Welcome by singingstranger, literature

Literature

Welcome

Welcome, the world says and waves me right in Opening arms, curling lips upwards and raising hands Cheeks start to smile, Embraces begin And I find myself in unfamiliar lands. I have been here before, have ventured here often I have made my friends, many hands have been shaken I have walked with you, seen your worried eyes soften I have witnessed your creative heart awaken. You, my dear friend, and I don't talk much We did for a while but the time zones are tough But none the less I feel I never really lost touch Sometimes memories can also be enough I am no longer a stranger among us two But when we meet next time I will be foreign

Silly Girl by MikkiMarie, literature

Literature

Silly Girl

Silly girl, Whose eyes rain crystals, Why do you wish to heal? Do you not understand the beauty Of your ability to feel? Silly girl, Whose grin’s so bright, Why do you wish to change? A soul with no emotion Would appear to be quite strange. Silly girl, Whose face is dull, Why do you live this myth? You choose to be a shadow, Smashing daisies with your fist. Silly girl, With wounds and scars, Why have you chosen this death? No, sinking into your own grave Would be better than such regret. Silly girl, You’ve started to feel, Just recently you’ve started to cry. You’ve been down this path again and again, With a pain

Leaving

0 min read

I know I haven't been posting as much recently, which is because I was working on the lyrics for Leave. However, in a short time, I am leaving until the 26th of July at the latest. I am going to visit some family and friends, and will have little or no Interweb access. I'll be taking my camera and sketchbook, though, and will upload everything when I return.

Absence

0 min read

Hi everyone,I won't be able to post anything for the next 2-3 weeks (sorry!) I'm leaving in the morning pretty early and get back for a day or so at the end of the month before I leave again. I'll get to write a lot while I'm away, so expect a lot of poems when I can get online again! Thanks!

A Study in Psychopaths-Chapter 1

0 min read

Jim woke up chained to the wall, complete and utter darkness except for a candle that had been placed by his feet.  A door (though he couldn't see it) was on the far left wall. In the flickering light of the candle he could make out faint shapes-a box, a vial, and a child's doll. The doll was missing an arm and part of its leg. As footsteps approached in the hallway, Jim's terror grew and grew. Why was he being held here? And what would happen to him now?  He shoved that emotion down, shaking his head (he noticed that that was the only part of him that didn't seem to be tethered to the wall).  The last thing he remembered was meticulously pla

Hey there!
I haven't exactly been good at keeping contact, which I truly regret. Since I am in the U.S. now for a year, I thought it might be a good time to renew our contact and say, well, hi!

I've been writing a lot these last few weeks and am gearing up to post a bunch of stuff. I did a bit of photography this summer, and this fall I'm going to be doing a bunch of music.
