Hiya Guys! I did note that I would be trying to update my old writings. This will take a little while.. So I decided to keep it moving by typing up some new writings and posting the few that were on mym facebook account here. Hopefully by the end of the evening, there will be a few new scribblings up.. There should be 2 poems and 2 short stories, that you have never read before. BOTH of these stories are soon to be edited. In addition, by the end of the night, I hope to have these four pieces of writing that no one outside of my facebook has seen before; in addition to adding a completely new composition(hopefully):
Without further ado, I present Salt in the Wounds. I like imagery, let's face it.. and this is where I went here. TRUE, I am not very "mature" as a writer, and true - I have work to do... but I like this piece, if only a little. I thought a lot about the crucifixion of Jesus, as well as the slave trade, and even the bombings of Japan in WWII... let's say, essentially, I wanted to convey the repeating evils of mankind as, sort of, a dance. OR: I could've written it about the fall of lovers as such.. and their subsequent hatred of one another.. I like leaving stuff open for people's thoughts. As always, I appreciate any and everyone's comments, and thoughts on how to get better.
Salt in your Wounds
I could swear that the air
hosts a prison about me -
your chilled breath the shackles.
My wrists lat pierced to the stone,
a reminder of one man's quest,
too soon to become crusade.
Your thoughts were like poison
dripping from your blade, a forked tongue.
Our acts were naught, but filler in the limelight,
vanishing when the wind blew to scatter the dust of your remnants.
You would hear that the stones
had smothered your withered heart -
the slabs were as my arms.
Drowning in a pool of oblivion,
you clawed in vain at the rippling waters,
my voice to swallow you.
Waltzing the barren moor,
as our ashes fell like snowflakes,
a matrimony in desecration.
And slowly as the mantle falls and the light fades,
our paradise can be found in the throes of desperation..
