tug of war

If every time I awake,
I long for something new.
And every time I stand still,
the spot I'm in just won't do.

Then how can I be expected,
to anchor my heart to yours.

My true self is reflected,
by all these well used doors.

The Ambassador

Today’s weather was favorable. It was bright and blue. It was the perfect day to die.

 

A ruler was about to be assassinated. A portal was about to open.

 

No Love Lost

“Can’t get me. Betcha can’t.”

 

Peter Hartsfield heard the teasing voice and continued to dig. It had proved futile to try and stop.

 

The Sea

The sea

I am Pirate, that is my name.
From the sea, my ship it came.

I sail the waves, with a hardy crew.
Never knowing our course nor what we might do.

North then South; East then West.
Upon the waves, our life is the best.

The Wanderer

(This is a dramatic monologue I did for my English coursework, just wondered what people would think of it)

Something epic that both happened and didn't

Rutherferd, a tall and handsome man in a confederate captain's uniform, walks into the Oracle's briefing room. He is followed by his team mates Corolla and Smith. Corolla is a dark haired man of average height dressed like he stepped right out of the roaring twenties.

Her true face

There she sits at her glass
Carefully putting on her mask.
Outside, she can not go
Without first giving them her show.
As i lay watching her paint her face
I often wonder for the need of that case,
That case that holds her "face".
Do you not know of your true beauty?

Mother

She is my creator and my protector,
My teacher and my friend,
She lifts me when I am down,
And cheers me when I am up,
She is my mother and no amount
of words can describe how much I love her.

Father

I am not of your blood and yet you claimed me.
I have disobeyed you and yelled at you, and still you claim me.
We are such different people, we don't always get along.
But you remain a constant, and never turn away.
You are the man you did not need to be.
A choice you have made to be with me.

The Nature of I

Who are we?

Who am I to say?

 

I, with a reluctant hand reach out

For something worth holding onto

For in the end, I will have nothing

When all of this is through

I will become a pile of ash

When once I had been a man

When all of this is done

The Surprise

Laura was the happiest little girl in the world. It was Christmas day, and Christmas meant presents.

 

“Turn the TV off and come have a seat in granny’s lap,” Darlene said, a bright, cheerful expression on her elderly face. She was sitting Indian-style on the floor next to the Christmas tree.

Anyone want to know the 38 most common fiction writing mistakes? You should look it up on the internet. Very insightful.

 The cold crisp wind gave me goose bumps as it flew through the window. BAAM! It flew through the air like raindrops fall from the sky. In a split second the blood came rushing out of him. I rushed to his side.

Word of the day; Diseuse

Hello again. 

I found an awesome word today; at least that is my personal opinion :P Guess why? :D

Diseuse

What's Wrong With This place

Lori thought-what's wrong with the place? They were standing in the lobby. The paint had long ago finished peeling. The carpet, what there was of it, was earth-colored because it was ground in with earth. The elevator didn't run. There on the stairs was a funny looking cat except it was a rat, a very large rat. It didn't seem too concerned about the humans.
