A Bright Uncertain Future
He stands there, blind to me,
Staring now, how can he be deaf to my plea?
I see the man inside, waiting for me,
A flame threatening to burn hot and free;
Shall I answer the call I hear,
Or hide away, filled with desperate fear?
Of a life unfulfilled and bleak,
Empty, lest I move forward and continue to seek,
For a song on the wind,
And heart in tune with mine?
My voice,
my words are unheard
deemed unworthy by
the opposition;
they do not see
or wish to listen
to the view not of their
beliefs;
we, the polar-opposites
now on two sides,
we who believe
feel
shout
and cry
during duress
have suffered and feel ennui,
I who has defended even those
who offend my
sensibilities,
find myself
shoved into a corner;
"You, be still"
they call,
now laughing at the spectacle
they have tried to make of me
I, who has been gagged,
shall no longer be silenced
for I am as I think
as I spake
as I know the truth before me;
They, who are intolerant,
bear no resemblance to
the ideals tau
"Mary Mary, quite contrary," sang the voice in Mary's dream. She sat up, sweat pooling on her brow, her stomach twisting. In the darkness, the light from her alarm clock glowed. The red shine cast an eerie feeling upon the room, and her heart refused to slow its beating. She breathed in, out, in, and held it. The anxiety attack would not come. The red light made her skin look pale, bloody in the mirror's reflection.
Mary lay down again, but could not fall asleep. From across the bay, she heard the boom of the lighthouse's horn. The sound wailed across the empty bay, forlorn and dead. Standing up now, Mary walked to the window and peered into
What's that chill,

Ever, ever so sublime...
For he is coming, can't you feel?
The endless spinning of it's wheel,
the fate that which you can't escape
Has come tumbling down to state,
For there he is,
in shadows black,
inching up through darkened crack,
The Hollow Man,
so dark and fiercely cruel,
here to torture the fool,
For what have you done,
to run run run

out run the gun?
He will catch you

no hidey hole to tuck up in,
there's no church, no sacred grounds,
for the Hollow Man,

It's been a few months, roughly six I think since I was back on.
I don't draw, paint, sketch or anything anymore. My artistry skills are pretty sad.
So I've gone back to writing, my first love. You can read three new entries, two I wrote over Halloween, and you can expect to see some more written stuff over the coming weeks perhaps.
The Wolf and The Lion is not sexually explicit, per se, but suggestive, and is a little different than my normal style.
The Hollow Man is poetry, so be prepared for some of it not to rhyme. I'm not good at rhyming.
And On the Rocks is a creepy story with a rather dismal end, just so you know.
Btw, don't watc
Well.
After six months roughly - I counted - I came back.
I've been in a stupendous stupor.
But I'm back.
I have seen some pretty great artists out there, and to some of them I subscribe. I'm a writer, not a painter, drawer, photographer, etc.
So, I'm going to stick to what I know. And that is the written word.
But, I did finish writing my novel. Charting in at 409 pages
its got violence, intrigue, and a healthy amount of sex for you nymphos out there. But be warned - it's not Harry Potter. Good God no.
anyway, I have to go type up Soc 101 notes. My teacher's a socialist liberal. But I'm ok.
Keep doing what you do best: create.
And I came back after a long and slightly uneventful summer.
Oh! I almost finished my novel. 347 pages as of today! and I may finish it in a month or two. SO yay me!
college is fun, boring, but fun.
and I am doing art again. I was in this crazy weird ass funk about giving my dreams of art.
I gave up painting, but Im going to try my hand at photography now...we'll see how that goes.
Hope you all had a super summer!
