My father's writing
Scrawls across memory-
Harsh cursive;
That we all complained of being unable to read
HCI + NaOH -> HoH + NaCI
All these strange recipes for
A masterpiece
We never did see complete.
We only ever saw the recipe.
My father's writing
We all complained
But he just kept on writing
Perhaps he was complaining back to us;
as well.
Perhaps
It was his way of saying
"This is something."
Darus was there.
The trees were stark and black around the tiny, snow filled clearing, and so was Darus, figure crooked and threatening. Yet Kaylin was unable to feel any alarm, for Zephyr hissed loudly in her mind, suffocating her emotions.
He watched her with a strange and tired smile.
"It seems that Zephyr has guided you to me, Kaylin."
She could not answer him. Zephyr buzzed, drowning her thoughts in static.
Darus seemed unconcerned by her lack of response, but the Blade, held loosely in his left hand, twitched. "....You left me, Kaylin. Did you forget that only you can completely shift Zephyr from Guardian to Guardian? Yet still- yo
They did say he would be alright.
They lied.
The earth bled that day. I remember so clearly how it seemed to twist with every step, how it shivered underneath the sky as the first shot was fired-
I remember how great, writhing snakes of dirt would rise into the air with every explosion- only to sink, spattering onto our faces.
How, whenever a body fell, the spirit leaving it in a cloud, dulled by weeping dust-
the earth seemed to shrink away, shuddering underneath the new weight.
I remember how, when I died, the fog from leaving souls covered the ground softly, a white death shroud over a beloved's face.
Chief Haddock, leader of the 15th Police Faction in the proud and rather dirty city of London, England, leaned back in his new, uncomfortable office chair, absently thumbing thorough the file he had received this morning. Dealing with the recent killings dubbed under the name 'Virus', it was a thick file, filled with autopsy reports, witness accounts, possible suspects, etc, etc.
Haddock carelessly dropped the file onto the already cluttered desk before him. Personally, he really couldn't care less right now. These murderers were always popping up under names like 'The Black Death', or 'The White Horseman'
If He is everything,
Imagine the terrible irritation.

Crawling with trillions of tiny

And billions more being born every day.

Reflection of a Scorned Man.
Throbbing, repetitive-
Slowly now, like waves crashing against the cliff-
Wear it away, a war story told over
Lifetimes.
Do you hear it?
Of course you do not,
Because it crescendos to a fade,
It is powerful in its sublimity,
The softer the soul,
The more you strain to hear it.
Your heartbeat tells you- go forward, you fool
Your mind(part of you, yet logical?) whispers
"Step back, and regret not."
Tread quietly, now.
Do not disturb the slumbering beast called 'emotion'.
It will rise with a vengeance,
And slay your logic knight with its fiery breath.
I see
Something that sparks the thing in my brain
Called 'imagination'
it tells me to
"WRITE THIS IDEA DOWN BEFORE YOU FORGET IT, DAMN IT."
....I have wars in my head.
The soft grey tissue of my brain
Is scarred and torn,
The dead bodies of ideas lie scattered.
Very morbid;
All those bodies makes me go weird.
I put my fingers to
Those little buttons to write-
Occasionally,I even use a pencil.
All this...may be called vague.

I Drink the Air Before Me.
Place your accusing finger
Firmly in the carpet,
Measure the saturation of time.
Pull and look with glass
Eyes-
See when the thief stole life
Drank down the wine-pulse of another,
Took the air from pulsating lungs
with a sharpened,
Glistening second.
You write words in the form
Of invisible waves.
' exactly three hours and 17 minutes ago '
Watch the shadows scrawl across
Tree cloth in patterns

Hey there guys.
Sorry I haven't updated this in a while- it's been quite the roller coaster these past months.
I can't say I've grown much as a writer, or as a person, but I have come to some realizations about my work.
1. I can't work off a vague idea.
2. My rough drafts will, and always will suck.
3. UVERworld is awesome.
4. Inspiration comes and goes.
5. I will always be distracted from my work.
6. Appearance/ special powers/ and other unrealistic points about characters actually takes away from the character.
7. It's almost impossible to write about things you've never experienced well without practicing on what you know before h
I've decided to go ahead and redo my "Another Inspired", as looking back, I think it needs a bit of work- and I want to compare my writing to see how far I've come. :D
Also working on something for a friend- shh!
It'll be a surprise.
