Unexpected Music: A College Memory

On a rainy evening deep in the Spring (I believe) on a Friday I sat alone in a study room on the fourth floor of the university library after a hard day (I forget why) and waited for my computer to finish its updates …2 out of 100 …then 3 out of 100 ...then 4 out of 100 with intermittent warnings that I should refrain from turning off the system in its task or else face unspecified consequences Four white walls surrounded me all else was silent even more so than usual because few studen

Tale of a Written House (A Choose-Your-Own Ending)

Do you happen to know about that old house deep in those Dark Woods with broken shutters that flap at each stray wind gust like eyes which always creak open a bit as if to see if anyone has at last arrived to seek a place where they might stay even for just a short while? You walk to the end of its short walkway where the house nestles beneath the canopy of intertwined trees. Serrated, amber-hued leaves cover the entire roof.

A Ghibli Memorial

Please let me spirit you away to an enchanted place where city meets forest Walk beside me up to a building dressed in vibrant colors and lush vegetation that has a ticket office out front and a furry creature of great size grey with a large white belly who grins widely and goes by the name of Totoro while perched atop the roof stands a humanoid robot sculpture-- long of limb and covered in vines like an ancient guardian Just inside we can find a lobby decorated with an elaborate fresco where witches on broomsticks pig pilots in red airplanes and other cameos play

A Simple Task

It was supposed to be a simple task. Deliver the pouch to the old lady who lived in the house up the hill, get paid, then be on her merry way. As soon as she arrived and saw that the front door of the dilapidated manor was wide open, hanging on one barely attached hinge, she took her phone out of her pocket and called him back. When it went to the man’s answering machine, she said in no uncertain terms that the pay rate would be double the original quote. Once sure the message had been left, she stepped inside the house, braced for something far less than simple. Upon seeing the remains of the old lady on the dining room table, carved out in a way that could only be described as grotesque, she called him back again, this time demanding triple the original quote. He still didn’t answer, so as she climbed the stairs to the second floor landing, she sent him a text as well. After she killed the first hired gun on the second floor, she called him once more, this time stating that she

14. Metal Mettle

I was born with a silver tongue, Copper eyes and a gold heart. A grain of salt in my head and skin of obsidian. The silver has tarnished, But it stays slick with lies told , And untold. And retold. My lips seem bruised and discolored, poisoned by the silver within. The copper has oxidized, Turning blues and greens under the force of the salt water of my tears. And all the strife they have seen. The golden heart starts soft and pure Shining in the sunlight. But it is soft. Malleable All too soon it is dented. And pieces taken. It is better known as Fool's Gold, When it glints in the light to attract another. The grain of salt becomes a pearl that is my brain. Over time it shall mold Rolled within my cavity, an irritant until it is beholden as some fantastic beauty of nature. My skin is obsidian. Beautiful and Smooth Shattering off with any amount of force, Sharply cutting to those that try to touch me wrong. I am a treasure trove, Of precious metals and beautiful things. I may

Making Jam

Poetry is word jam. Boil down the natural sweetness of words And add the sugar of imagery, alliteration, assonance, allusion, figure of speech, meter, and rhyme to taste.

All's quiet in the deep

Fanged tendrils of forbidden thoughts Twisting with a purpose Squirming to be said, to be made flesh Calling from beyond the veil Moving slowly in the black still water They whisper Fears and doubts, Clouding the edges my eyes in red haze Tempting me with truths And lies. I cannot speak them The words that fester beneath the blade of my tongue Itch for a voice through which to manifest They pester to be named A venom coursing through my veined and slouching heart Daring my lips to part Stop now, cease. You are in violation. There is nothing to see here, Nothing to say. My jaw must stay still And silent Smiling and clenched Do not say the words Do not hint It is betrayal The thoughts have been waiting there forever Wearing me down, Berating patiently Do not speak of them. Their existence is anathema. I have desires I dare not say, Effervescent dreams I could throw it all away I could jump I could fly That was a metaphor That was a lie Never mind, I take it back, Watch my

Ribcage

The cage in my chest is more that just a rack of bones encasing my heart and lungs. It is as strong as iron bars- a self made prison where I am the jailbird, The demons are the guards, My Id is the warden. My past is a weapon that my captors taunt me with, Jabbing through the bars and piercing my heart. They mock my attempts to be humble and belittle my desire for repentance. They sneer at me when I pray for forgiveness of my sins. It is always one step forward, two steps back. I was too young when I put myself in this prison, And now I am too old

Ring of Fire

Where Fire and Earth meet We are molten, tectonic Dancing the interface, frisson subsonic My solid foundation, floor of the ocean Your underlying perpetual motion Fluid dynamic, abyssal plummet Twine, combine to fulminant summit Convergent, we build Transforming, we change My coastal tsunami Your mountain range Together we are megalithic, volcanic Irresistible force, magnetic, galvanic.

December 17th 2015 (Black Dog)

The black dog wakens Snapping and snarling at me So it’s time to run Though I won’t be fast enough Truth is I’m never enough Cause that old black dog He’s been hunting me for years And he knows my tricks Every which way I might turn That old dog is there for me I can feel its jaws Yeah they’re pressing on down My ribs start to crack And my heart, it starts to tear Cause I think my time has come And that old black dog is there

Without You

last night without you the world did not end, although every building shook. i'm still picking up loose bricks and bits, cleaning house, mending the yard. even now without you. i feel guilty not inviting you. keeping you in the dark. lying-- or at least omitting truths (joyful truths, to be sure)-- to the face of my old friend. still somehow there was fallout. even the absence of you does some damage. even your shadow shakes tables knocks down a drink or two. and this morning it all felt like a dream. like some quaint, sober nightmare. not completely despairing-- rather nice, to be honest-- but still awful like a knife being removed (at last!) from a wound: you can breathe again, for a minute or so, you think, but now there is a new raw, red horror-- the hot sensation of drowning in your own living blood, suffocating, almost, in your own nourishment, breathless, speechless, as the oxygen betrays you, abandons you suddenly. it's almost enough to ask the nurses to put

leaves know the weight

I sense a leak, something vast and nameless passing too quickly to track. I always pretend to grow darker and more intricate, to become more like conversations that only happen at night in careful whispers, as they plummet into their beds. I've watched countless rooms undress, spidering out of their skins through zippers and seams, faces in the walls with anguished shrieks, yet to become the ache of a chair, the skin of a finger whose voice swells in my head. this time, all of the time, whose voice unwraps my secrets when I'm able to remember the weathered ice of this lake. what I dream, hold and keep, what rasps in the wind, what lingers and touches me through the cracks.

Prayer of the Grey

Lord God I pray Allow my soul to know peace If I died today, I’d only have regrets about my life My whole existence is scarred Charred with the reality thereof So I pray to the skies above Can I get a pardon? I feel like a mortar Set to fall as others live What about my time, Lord Do my tears not scream will I feel like I’m done That I’ve given all I can I’m so tired God Can I have a pillow? Even though I still breathe I feel like I’m on death row My pain being recorded Just to give others energy flow I have scars all over my souls body Tormented and abused Praying to you to cut me loose Reveal to me the truth Praying to you Lord Please Tell me What am I to do? What am I? 10/24/23

Quick Quiz: Which of these girls isn't a beach person?

Freya looks kind of tan, but I figured she'd spend a lot of the summer outdoors. Maybe hanging out on Rolf's farm? -nudgenudge- I love to put Abbi in red, for some reason. As for Saffy, you may be wondering why she's not in a swimsuit like the others, but what would a girl who hates water do with a bikini?

Hope you guys like!

Freya belongs to GubbinsOToole.
Abbi is MissInspirational's.
And Saffy is all mine!
