Hopes, dreams, fears, anguish, and all of the parts that make it all worth living for. Sounding my voice into the void? Nay, says I. As I shout into the endless nothing, I am shouting at it. Cursing it with my very life essence while shaking my fist like an elderly pensioner would at the neighborhood rapscallions to get off my lawn.  Stay, ye, oh dark nothingness. Stay in...Sat, 16 Dec 2023 10:41:45 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=586737https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=586737The silence of the morning. The awakening of the little death of sleep. Where we stand communing with the world of dream. The shock of it. The disbelief. The slow realization. The anticipation of chaos to ensue. The people about, directionless in confusion, Or else focused on the tasks. The silence of the mourning. The awakening of the bigger sleep of death. Where we stand communing with the world...Fri, 15 Dec 2023 10:13:26 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=585719https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=585719Thank you, green glass bottle, for keeping my Coca-Cola safe! Handy, cold, clean. Sound your gentle "pshtt" as I open the cap. Wisp of 'gas' collected at the top on the breaking of the seal? Nay says I! Wisp of spirit charged with guarding my soda! My relief. My simple pleasure. I thank thee, oh spirit of the soda's freshness, as I gently exhale through pursed lips. I release thee in gratitude for...Thu, 14 Dec 2023 09:14:20 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=584966https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=584966Ricky! Glad you're back!

I woke up with a fright the next morning. it had all been a dream... But it seemed so real. And there was a major party happening tonight for everyone in the kingdom to attend. For the prince. He had to find a bride or groom before the night ended. Hours had passed and I got everything ready to make it to the party.

How can I go on through the dark bits with only the promise of light bits ahead? It is you. I don’t believe we can truly travel the paths together. Both the light and the dark, heavily filtered, only reach me alone. And reach you alone. But let us travel parallel for as long as we may!

O're night the ache settles in like a gnawing. Like dogs worrying blackened bones by the fireside. Begone, foul curs! If not the stretch, then the coffee. If not the stretch, nor the coffee then the heat of the shower. If not the stretch, the coffee, nor the steamy warmth,  Then the determination of perseverance.  The joints creak.

I've got some seeds planted in a rough outline, but the jokes needs to be fleshed out some more for sure. Not into posting WIP, especially if it's something I hope to professioanly publish someday, but it's nice to be sinpisred!Mon, 11 Dec 2023 16:42:12 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=582560https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=582560Elusive.

Bach) "Why cry over your absent father when you can cry over Donkey Kong Country" there was a third but I forgot it :\Sun, 10 Dec 2023 23:38:38 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=581343https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=581343Grey dawn. Grey mind. Come to me, oh Goddess Caffeinna! My morning ablutions shall not be complete without your blessing! As I strive e'er forward to wash the grit of night From my body. From eye-corners. From crusted cervices. So, too, guide me to clear the grey-crust from my mind. Grey dawn.

You've joined some great writers who adore cat including Mark Twain and this anonymous monk from around the year 1200, who wrote about his cat in the margins of a sacred text he was copying.

Gone is the warmth of summer's tender kiss, Autumn's chill whispers secrets, alone in bliss. Whispers of chaos, a surreal refrain, In the alleyways of wonder, I shall remain.

I loved it! I am no poet either and tend towards prose as well. Again, NOT being a writer, I can't 'analyze', but neither do I care for 'analyzation' of art, but for a top of your head piece, it was good! I liked how it reads like a recollection, and the first bits you are recalling YOUR eyes, and YOUR skin, and by the end, the longing and hope has grown where you are now recalling HIS ...Sat, 09 Dec 2023 13:49:27 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=580722https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=580722Not a poet, but a fic writer, and here we go off the top of my head: I looked at him, my hazel brown eyes fixing on his green eyes. There was a slight blush that spread across my face as his fingers touched my skin. Everything happened so fast and before I could realize it, I was dancing with him. Of course we were at a party, so there had to be dancing. Out of everyone I danced with he was the be...Sat, 09 Dec 2023 13:43:05 +0000
