Free

I fell off the edge of the Earth today
And down I went, past the grim and the grey.
I dropped through the color spectrum--black, white,
And reality gone; the world began.
Kaleidoscopic simplicity shone
A sepian lifetime; wordless memoirs,
How quickly it seemed to all pass me by.
Then I asked, "Where am I? Why did I fall?"
And was answered in earnest, "You did not."
A voice out of nowhere, perhaps my mind
Jests, for surely Israfel has a form.
"You jumped," the voice accused, "you've will to die."
"No," I recalled, "I had to get away.
Flying is freedom, and free I must stay."

He fled, he ran as fast as he could imagine, running on the legs his mind could provide him, he had to be free. He had resolved himself to be free forever. Here he was free, here he could be anything he wanted, do anything he wanted without worrying about repercussions. But there were those that wished to encroach on his freedom, limit him to only one world. There was always one that would chase him without effort, the man in the white coat, the one who would ruin his freedom.

He felt it the moment he was free, someone would come to ruin him and he came like a wraith from the shadows, tearing his dreams, ripping them to shreds of smoking memory just to disable him further. But there was one thing he could never rip and that was his escape. The escape that would allow him to be free forever, dream for eternity.

He stood there at the edge of his escape, the man in the white coat closing in as he tried to make his decision. Live in darkness, fleeing from this apparition like a scared child or plunge forth with no...turning...back.

Everything had gone black the only thing around him being the feel of sheets, an IV in his arm and the blaring light of the sun. The man in the white coat was there touching his forehead and a woman who looked familiar sat in a chair beside where he lay.

The doctor smiled "Welcome back." In his mind the man thought, "Damn."


Yanked right out of my a**. o.o;;

James moved across the room from his mistress explaining his plan as he went, "Only $10,000 and she'll never see it coming."

"I still think you should just let me do it," Veronica said, running her fingers playfully over a small vile she'd pulled from her pocket.

"A woman assassin!?" he exclaimed, "Who would hire a woman for an assassin?"

With a sick smile she replied, "Your wife."



68 words, but better than the last three novels I've read combined.

I'm really awful at writing and interpretting poetry and song lyrics, but I'm still impressed and enjoying the amount of poetry and songs here ^_^ I really liked GermanTemper's Free and Chakira's Life Inside the Mind of the Insane is sweet. I'm much more of a novelist myself. I've written and started a few books but never completed some or finished editting the very few finished ones. Sometime I'll seek out some of my better samples of writing and post them here for you guys. Lately I've been in such a writing rut that the only thing I write is stuff for RPGs which is enough to drive me crazy because RPGs aren't always fast-paced and I've gone for several weeks without writing much of anything at times, including now gonk Now NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is coming up and I've been playing with a lot of ideas for plots and characters. I encourage some of you to nano with me! It's going to be really hard since I'm going to be starting college and all, but check out the website if you have a chance - http://www.nanowrimo.org/

Here's one I did recently. I call it being pissed off.

I am pissed,
I am afraid,
What lion am I?
What lion fears,
His own rage?
What mane,
Have I the right,
To own?

What use,
Be my claws?
What use,
Be my fangs?
What use,
Be my hunting mind?
What use,
Be my knowledge of my prey?

Who in the right,
State of their minds,
Fears hurting his prey,
And ending their lives?

I want to destroy,
Not create!
I want to obliterate,
Not manipulate!
I want to topple,
Not steady!

I want to feel,
My prey's blood!
I want to squeeze,
My prey's still throbbing heart.
I want to watch the life,
Fade from their eyes.
I want to see them understand,
Who they so despised.

I don't like this feeling,
The urge to destroy,
To cause discord,
To obliterate all around me.

I hate it,
I hate this feeling,
But I love it,
I'd hate to see it leave.

But it must go,
I've trapped it in a prison,
Made of my venomous words.

Not really my style, but I was asked to right something like this for a tournament and this is what I came up with in 4 minutes. sweatdrop

Be me...

You say my life's fine
It's a great life I lead,
But I don't see you
dwelling in me.
How would you know?
Are you within,
Hidden from view?
Wishing you're me
As I'm wishing I'm you?

What makes you so right
And makes me so wrong?
Why is my life like a
Sad country song?

Give me a reason
Why you'd understand
What I've been through.
How could you and
Why would you bother?
I'm no fool.
I see what you're doing
You think you're so cool.

You think you could handle
the life that I lead?
Tell you what, then, hun,
You be me.

*Alright this is spur of the moment so here goes nothing*

My Last Sanctuary

I thought i could be free,
be rid of you
and escape your gaze,
that hold it has on me
The wounds it caused
The love it evoked
The tears that flooded the rivers on my face
Gone i went to my last Sanctuary
In the corners of my mind
Where there are no maps to find me
and i am a nomad
No home to return to
in any other heart
No smile in the doorway i left behind
Just my own two feet following the viens leaving my heart
Pathways away from my heart
Taking me away
From you
To my last Sanctuary
My last stand
The outlet of my hope
I exhaled relief
I am lost enough to never be found,
even by myself
and i ly down to sleep
Close my eyes swollen shut with pain
My Last Sanctuary
My Dreams
Carry me away
And...
You...
Your face,
Those Icey Blue Eyes
They are there too
Invading my last Sanctuary
Haunting me
You embrace me
You hold me close
We breathe one breath
Our lips cross roads
Your warmth keeps me alive
as my frigid air releases fog into the night

but you're not there

It all goes dark
It was never to be
And i wake up
alone
as always
drowning in my own tears

My last Sanctuary
My own mind
I can not control
I can not escape you

The love i have for you

And i fall to my knees
For i have no ground of my own to stand on
In the ashes of my last Sanctuary.

Precisely... unless your inspiration is mud colored paper mache, in which case, run.
