The Space To Run

I don't think this blog format works very well for longer pieces, so here is The Space To Run on my dA account.

Trying Too Hard To Be Immortal

Another one from 2011 that I finished recently.

Trying Too Hard To Be Immortal

I whispered to the world

And said my secrets safe with you

Closed my eyes and turned

A golden key

Laid down to rest

But somehow

The earth had found

A way to be untrue

My secrets never mattered

To a mother cold as you

And no matter how I wished

Beneath stars or sinking moon

Not an answer

Just a promise

Of an ending coming soon

So I wandered through a thousand lives

And lived them one by one

Closed my eyes

They slipped away

I forgot where I'd begun

The Road Is Moving

Don't let life beat you into thinking there are rules you have to follow. You get one life - this is it. If you really want something, don't give up; fight for it, take it.

I turn around

But nothing's there

We're running so fast

We forget where

I've gone so far in this lifeline

I need a new life

But where to start from?

We've been here so long

After awhile

We forget the beauty

Of the moment, the unknown

It's burning right through me

I gave you time

Time didn't care

Now who's waiting

Who's around the corner?

We're so far past a dead end

Feels like a start to forever

Where am I going?

The road is moving

After awhile

We forget the beauty

Of the moment, the unknown

It's burning right through me

Boldly

Going through the past 6 months of random stuff.

Boldly

As the moon rose

As the trees spoke

Swaying smoothly as the heart

With a beat that is red

and delicious

With fire coursing

and melting

Its way through time

Our fire, we felt

We cried that it belonged to us

But time and fire

Never knew our names

Our precious youth

and hidden games

That vanish, untraced

Yet we lay, boldly

Beneath the stars

Surrounded by emptiness

and beauty

For a moment
