Sam knew very well that the person smiling in the mirror couldn't be and wasn't him. He turned away from the mirror in hopes that the horrid image of whats built up inside of him has faded and only become a figment of his imagination. "So much for wishfull thinking Sam..." With a horrified look on his face, Sam turned around and looked at the image in the mirror. "Boo." Sam yelled and backed away slowly as his eyes widened. Just then, the gruesome image in the mirror reached out to sam. Sam was scared. Same bloodied white shirt and jeans, same hoodie, same blood lu
Take my lifeThis is what i get. You got your wish, my world is crashing down around me. I should have never let you go. I was wrong. I was more than wrong. Im trying so hard not to do anything stupid. We all have something worth living for, but im tired of waiting for it. You will never see this, you will never care, and you will never love me.

Pray to the RainWe're exchanging goodbyes,Pray to the Rain1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
But we're still standing together.
And there's so much to say,
We still talk about the weather.
But the sky is really fascinating,
This silence incapacitating.
The windows down,
Wind drowns out our wishes.
I'd pray to a star,
But tonight they're non-existent
I'd pray to the moon,
But it's so damn inconsistent.
So I'll pray to the rain,
I trust things that fall.
I pray to the rain,
To break this brick wall.
I try to take away your pain,
But I'm no narcotic.
And I might be insane,
But I'm no damn psychotic.
Something To Believe InAre we really livingSomething To Believe In1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Is this all a lie
Are we really dying
Are these tears we cry
Is there still a heaven
Somewhere a peaceful land
Maybe I'm too young to understand
Every day's a struggle
But we have to live
We must try to find
What we have to give
Sometimes I'm afraid
I don't know where to start
Fighting down these sorrows
Living in my heart
But when I look up at the stars at night
I wonder if there's a reason left to fight
I wonder if there's anyone up there
I wonder if there's anyone out there
Give us something to believe in
Give us something real to believe
Holding on, holding back
Tell me what I still lack

Little Black BirdThe little black bird sits in her cageLittle Black Bird2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Lonely, afraid of the outside world
Or, more precisely, afraid of the people in the outside world
She sings her songs from the bars of her cage
But nobody ever listens
They just nod and move on to continue with their daily lives
Not even bothering to see that the poor bird is dying
Dying from lack of love
Lack of heart
Lack of life
And just when she thought she was going to have her chance to fly free
It was taken from her
Taken away from her like a piece of candy, as if it was no big deal
She never talks, never says a word
The little black bird just keeps singing about a new day
But how c
In the Rain"I could be a soccer player," I said aloud, to no one in particular. I gave the crumpled soda can another good, harsh kick, and sent it rolling down the street.

It was tedious, walking by gray walls, gray stores, and gray people. Everyone had some place to be, something to do, someone to be with. Not me.

"STOP IT, YOU'RE KILLING HER!!!!!" I screamed.
The disgusting pig of a father had been getting drunk every night and raping my mother for the past 3 months. It wasn't always this way. In fact he had been the best dad a family could want. My father kept us happy by giving us love and care, but it all shattered after he found out that Shiro and I were cursed to be wolf hybrids by the Midnight Witch. He demanded that we be exiled from his house hold, but my mother would have nothing of it. So he decided that he would make our lives a living hell…
From that day on our mother was tortured in front of our eyes, while we could do nothing but

Kagome dreaded her first day back to school after coming home. She was always barraged with inquiries about her health by her three friends, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi. It used to be a little funny to hear the excuses her Grandpa had made for her long absences from school, but now it would bring up the subject of Inuyasha…her "jealous boyfriend". Not my jealous boyfriend anymore, she thought.
Steeling her nerves, Kagome walked through the gates of her school's grounds, her eyes roving the crowds of teenager boys and girls for those three familiar faces.
"Kagome! Hey, Kagome, over here!"
She turned her head to see Eri, standing with Yuka

RealizationIs this really happening to me?Realization1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Am I really this far gone?
She's pushing me away
and replacing me,
and it's all my fault.
How did this happen?
Why is this happening?
I love you,
but you don't love me.
I took too much time,
and now
I'm alone.
I can't say I'm not surprised
for our friendship was doomed
from the moment I
fell in love with you.
But to be replaced,
it hurts,
and you don't see.
Even worse,
it seems like you don't care.
I was so stupid,
So naive,
to ever think that
someone as beautiful and perfect as you
could ever be with someone like me.
I look in the mirror
and I can't even recognize myself.

Enjoy.

That is certainly interesting work that you have shown me in the link you sent. Is it all traditionally done, or is it done on computer? It has a whimsical, renaissance/medieval-ish sort of oh what do they call that thing that Dali is quality... senior moment, sorry.
What if you just jump in the pool, and just try to do something like that, and keep trying even if you feel you failed?

If you are thinking of learning how to do any sort of fibre art, such as knitting, needlework, or weaving, you are going to love it. You will never want to leave your house! Lol!
I would like to be helpful with some practical advice in the area of fiber art, so here goes!
Now this is just my advice, and reflects the unique, rather relaxed, adapted approach that I take to fiber art. So, fiber art purists, please don't eat my liver.

Merton's home (which is both studio and gallery) is an ongoing exhibit for friends, visitors and students. And, later, it will be a repository from which to make an archive.
Here is a folder of photos of the Merton Museum. I have often called the home I share with (longsuffering) hubby "The House of Many Studios" too. Hence, that is the name of this folder, which might give

My heart is broken... I will try to heal, continue to follow my inner guidance, and attempt to play my part in whatever is coming to the world.
Dear fellow DA artists, friends and visitors,
My sweet little doggie is gone, and I am so sad. Here is a letter I wrote to my friend B (who lost his longtime partner recently, and who is very in touch with all the spiritual/temporal stuff going down in the world right now). It captures well my feelings and has much, I think, to say about love, life and grief, from the perspective of this very peculiar moment in time.

Nor fear this heart.
I just fear being torn apart...
Desire...Desire...1 year ago in Philosophical More Like This
There have been times when I think we do not desire Heaven; but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else....It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friends or work....All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousnss. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it.

If I wasn't me,
Would we be fine?
If I wasn't me,
Would you be MINE?
If I was cool,
Would you want me?
If I was smart,
Would you not taunt me?
If I played sports,
Would you think about,
Just for a day,
Being mine, without a doubt?
Too bad I'm me,
Cause now I know,
You'd never be MINE,
I was crazy to think so.
Because I'm me,
A runt, a loser,
A nerd, geek,
And not a stupid boozer.
Safe in my mind,
My feelings will stay.
Locked in my heart,

When I pass by you
And I say, "Hi",
My heart will break,
When you don't reply.
I'm not sporty,
I'm not cool.

Then Kei woke up. Groggily, she rolled over, expecting to find Zor next to her.
He wasn't.
She sat up, frowning and looking around the room with bleary eyes. She recognized the shapes of too many things in this room. This wasn't Zor's room. This wasn't Zor's ship. This was her own. She slumped forward. She'd been dreaming again. Slowly, she rolled back down on her side on the mattress, tears sliding down her cheeks. She didn't sob though. She was too tired for such an action. Instead, she thought about her current situation. She still hadn't found him. It had been almost two years since he'd left and she still hadn't found him. She'd c
