i wasn't dreaming this time.
today was spent in thought and i'll never erase those thoughts from my mind
i had a moment where everything made sense
where everything fell into place and i knew exactly what words
had to come out of my mouth.
you took your foot off my chest and
i let myself stand up for the first time in a while.
i had to hold myself up as the heavy sounds escaped me,
toppling uncensored from me,
pouring down my chest onto the floor,
spilling into a puddle at your feet.
the weight of the truth forced you to cast your eyes downward and it drew your hand to reach out
and we clung together, grasping at each others' shirt sleeves
sharing the wetn

a feeling i can't shake
Functional thoughts without
functional logic
My brain waves collide.
Under years of dust they collapse on
collected pages
of how many days does this week have left, again?

I scare myself when I think of
the volumes of moments
that have glided along like ghosts
before they even passed.

i hate to know that
they clawed out an existence so they might be
noticed.
but it's every human's mechanical flaw,
"i'm sorry. i never saw."
i can't let myself know
that i doubt i'll ever wake up for real.

A world forgotten in Sleep
Cars
Transcending silence
Like a phantom echo as a dog barks
Quiet thunder
And the sky, a perpetual cloud
A soft blue cheek against the sharp
Splintered edges of trees
As the wind eats me whole
The house groans in distress
My fingers ache with cold
The whole world is asleep now
Trapped in a soft gray cornea
It slumbers in time
To the lullaby of squealing scrap metal
And a dozing wind chime
The florescence bore through him and turned his skin ghost,
light left the lamp looking and found a host.
Now invisible and free he wanders yesterday's forbidden street.
With each step his disheveled heart begins again to beat,
with his regained rhythm his feet find the pace,
moving through the city his rediscovered heart starts to race.
He suddenly stops running and looks at his surroundings,
he stops and listens closely and all that was heard was poundings.
In his heart and with his eyes,
nothing he sees is a surprise.
emotions hang about in the likeness of an aura,
emoticons on screens all among the flora.
He is omniscient, he

The Birdcage and Nightingale
He lumbers down the condemned and winding staircase, as lumbering is the only way of walking his disproportionate body will allow as he stands at over 12 feet tall. He resembles a burn victim's rotting corpse. His skin has two qualities; one where his skin looks as fragile as burnt and blackened paper waiting to flake and float away, and that of mud whose viscosity leaves much to be desired. Each is viewed like iridescence, there one moment and gone the next. His flesh resembles nothing more than a composition of ash, pus and infection; it can hardly be called skin at all. Like a viperfish, he has long thin teeth that protrude from his mouth;
this was supposed to be a happy post and all, but i'm in a bit of a bad mood. i've gathered the courage to show this story i've been writing for a while to some people, and through this experience i've learned a few things.
-the writing world is extremely competitive. perhaps more so on the internet than anywhere else.
-i know far too little about the mechanics of writing to be successful. i've gone wrong somewhere and it seems like there are so many mistakes i'm making i would be impossible to fix them all.
-you can't please everyone. and i know i have to get better at taking criticism.
-writers are strange creatures and i am far from e
"Are you different? Like I am?"
"Yes."
"What kind of different?"
"An ugly kind of different."
"Like me?"
He gave a short, humorless laugh at her persistence and met her eyes as he spoke,
"No, my dear. Much uglier."
