Depression 2008-02-25 10:25:15 On the cusp of new joy lies an elegant despair
Sucking light out of life, leaving questions in its path.
Fear and self doubt bed the voices of a dark master
Who speaks to you pityingly in mocking tones.
Disaster surely waits in life’s darkest tunnel where
Self absorbed moans echo the walls.
“No way out for us all,” they cry without [...]
Self-Harmer 2008-02-24 15:14:14 This wasn’t supposed to be a poem, I don’t really know why I wrote it this way, it led itself really. I don’t think its finished.
She is the girl who draws you in with ease
Until you get too close and realize
That there is nothing behind those eyes.
No light, no joy, no emotion.
Nothing but the wall she’s [...]
Deathbed 2008-02-24 11:36:47 My younger cousins dared me to do it. As the eldest, I couldn’t pass up a dare. So I crept unheeded into the bedroom where my grandmother lay on her deathbed. Bravery disappeared as I saw her frail body laying there. I had never really known her but it still made me sad to see [...]
The End 2008-02-23 08:13:12 His eyes flickered open as pain coursed through his broken body. Groaning, he could barely move. More painful was the memory of what had happened. His daughter’s scream as she was ripped from her mother’s arms. The last glimpse of his beloved before she was dragged through the dirt like an animal. He tried to save [...]
I Have to Write 2008-02-22 02:01:23 I love words.
I love how they can be manipulated to mean so many different things. I am in awe of how we can infer something merely with subtle hints and how reading between the lines can be as much a part of it as anything else.
I love to write. I love how the words flow [...]

Two Minutes - Part Two 2008-02-21 05:35:56 The final part of Two Minutes - first part was published on the blog yesterday. I’m a lot more dissatisfied with it than I thought I would be!
She would have to move into a bigger apartment, maybe even a house. What about work? She shook her head, what about it? That’s the career out of [...]

Two Minutes - Part One 2008-02-20 17:35:54 Again, an old piece that I haven’t looked at for a while. I find I look at things differently when I see them on this blog so hopefully I will be able to see where I went wrong and how to improve.
Two minutes can feel like a very long time. It can be the most important two [...]
Friendship Lost - Part One 2008-02-19 08:20:23 First part of Friendship
Lost - This is a rubbish working title. I haven’t looked at or edited this in two years so it is probably extremely rough.
Ella
I was ten when I first saw him, I didn’t know it at the time but I had a huge crush on him. I thought he annoyed the crap [...]
The Day The Sky Fell 2008-02-18 06:08:57 The sky fell
And the ground shuddered.
Reverberations hit every corner of my life.
My hope died
And life seemed over.
Hands twist wistfully under unseeing eyes.
It’s unfair
And my time wasted.
Their paycheck helps them sleep at night.
What’s next
And where do we start.
Many of us move on with a heart’s sigh.
The Bus Stop - Part 2 2008-02-17 05:44:27 Final part of The Bus-Stop.
The smell didn’t last forever though, besides, it gave him a yearning for more. A stale scarf was no longer enough for Mark. He wanted more. He felt like they had a connection now. She had nodded at him in recognition a number of times now. Each time he had jerked [...]
The Assassin 2008-03-12 23:58:33 I’ve been working on a novel but I felt that I shouldn’t be neglecting my regular practice. Sometimes I don’t have the inspiration for short pieces though. I may have to think about using writing prompts.
The Assassin
stepped lightly and soundlessly up the stairs to find his latest nameless victim. An easy job. It wouldn’t [...]
Eileen 2008-03-15 00:35:50 She stared at the dank walls of the cottage in despair. It was filthy and smelly but the biggest disappointment was the old woman sitting in the patched up armchair. She had worked tirelessly to find this woman and for some reason, she thought she would recognise her mother when she met her but this [...]
