The Shirogane Case: part 1 The bus crawled through the fog; the low whine of its engine blurring murmurs of sleepy French. Every once in a while there was a cough or maybe a sneeze but not much else. Even a window seat gave only a lovely view of the same dirty grey. If you listened carefully enough you could even hear the wheels grind the asphalt.The Shirogane Case: part 13 years ago in General Fiction More Like This
Naoto sat huddled in the back of the bus poring over a soggy letter bearing the Interpol seal. It was a request for an interview... odd, that. Sure she was successful at apprehending the culprit in the Inaba case, but any competent detective would know that the circumstances surrounding the arrest were dubious at best. He*

Mother Please Love MeMother Please Love Me9 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Mothers
Mothers are always there
They show equal love to all their children
They try to make the world the best it can be
And do the best they can to better their child's' life
A mother should hold me when I'm scared
Make me feel safe and special
Do all she can to make my life worth living
A mother should try her best to make things fair
And teach their children with love and kindness
A mother shouldn't make their child cry because of hate
Shouldn't scare them or threaten their lives
They shouldn't make them feel less
Or that they don't love them
A mother shouldn't make their child feel like they are not good enough or to end th

This year's first rays of sunlight warmed her neck through the open window. A breeze of cold air reminded her that it was still winter, but along with the chill the wind also carried scents of an early spring. With something that seemed like anticipation every withered straw of grass, every winter stripped tree, every naked bush, made ready for their great, once-a-year performance.
She breathed in deeply, savored the change in the air with her entire being. Closing her eyes to the point where she saw dark, dancing spots behind her eyelids she let the air out again. Her body responded to the promise of a new season and sh

To carry fresh water back to their home
That morning the waters were shining like silver:
The Children of Heaven were bathing alone.
They were so luring, so handsome and fair
With their bodies so fragile and their laughter like prayers.
The one who stepped forward was different somehow
His shoulders were wider, his arms seemed stronger,
Smiling mischievous, he took a deep bow.
"My name is Samyaza and we come from afar
To find the most treasured of all the creation,
The one who's most suited to become our mistress,
Chosen as wife for the Morning Star."

But then he looked down with fiery eyes
"Look for yourselves and judge what you may"
That's when we saw them, he was telling no lies
Wild and vivid as the strong birds of prey,
Fair and graceful like flowers in bloom
Were the daughters of men by the light of the moon.
Then the Children of Heaven fell into silence
As their strong hearts were stricken with awe
Alone he stepped forward with pride and desire
" My brothers, don't judge me, for I want to go"
So the others decided and said in on

And peirce her ears,

She turned around and gave me a cold, yet frightened, terrified look. I could see tears going down her cheeks, her eyebrows lifted up in surprise, and her mouth slightly opened.

To the stillness of ashes and dust,
Our bitter union in the tides of Void,
Without pain, without thought, without lust.
Without pain, you say?
Then scarce know you of the dead.
For we seethe with the throb of loneliness,
As soulless sighs; our tears are shed.
Without thought, you say?
Then scarce feel you of the dead.
Whilst endless days condemn all to misery;
Memories of love are to black fires fed.
Without lust, you say?
Then scarce care you of the dead.
Our weeping hearts beat only with longing;
Though our passion in vile pools bled.
Only withered dreams thrive here;

Yes it's true
Instead of writing
I make art that is seen by quite a few
Give me a book
I could finish it by the end of the day
Tell me to write a story, I'll draw blank on what to say
But give me a paint brush
My creative mind gets an adrenaline rush
It's not fair really
Well, at least it's not to me
Oh how I dream of how popular a story of mine could be
But that is not the case
It's hard trying to go through that jagged staircase
Now that's not true

There's so many stories there, that you do not know
Silently, I put the portfolio on my lap

And I can hardly keep placing one foot before the other.
