In the room
You come and go,
Adrift in desolate disgrace
And barely show your face
Although
I see the markings of a tomb
imprinted in
Your somber guise,
A stony statue of remorse.
I wonder which is worse -
To be alive,
Or live unfeeling in your skin.
Out on my street,
In weeping rain,
In bleeding snow, you come and go
Floating to and fro
In pain,
In final spasms of defeat.
Inside my crypt
I come and go
In air weighed down by sweetened dreams.
But through the haze, it seems,
You glow,
Like hollow silky golden script
inscribed upon
An empty shell,
Discarded once and never found.
I wonder how
I'll ever tell -
Are you
In the room
You come and go,
Adrift in desolate disgrace
And barely show your face
Although
I see the markings of a tomb
imprinted in
Your somber guise,
A stony statue of remorse.
I wonder which is worse -
To be alive,
Or live unfeeling in your skin.
Out on my street,
In weeping rain,
In bleeding snow, you come and go
Floating to and fro
In pain,
In final spasms of defeat.
Inside my crypt
I come and go
In air weighed down by sweetened dreams.
But through the haze, it seems,
You glow,
Like hollow silky golden script
inscribed upon
An empty shell,
Discarded once and never found.
I wonder how
I'll ever tell -
Are you
I just submitted The Revelation of the Time Machine (The Revelation for short :D). It's a big achievement for me because I haven't written any prose for a while, and the first time I do, it turns out that good. It's my best short story yet, even though there's a lot of room for improvement. So please read it and tell me what you think!
I'm definetly going back to writing fiction now...

Last night I wrote a poem and I submitted it today (just now, actually). Then, I decided to submit some of my older poems. Now, I'm not submitting even close to all of them, because they're just too embarassing. But I've found ones that I actually like and would like to share with people.
I've also realized how much I've improved at poetry writing. I could never consider myself a "good" poet, but it's reassuring to see this much improvement. Good thing DA is here...
Hi there! You commented on my latest fbomb article (the one about "Maggie Goes On A Diet"), and I found your blog that way. Just wanted to tell you that it looks AWESOME.
