《Poems of Rain》5. Chimera in Random
Advertisement
I felt there is
Life in random
As I sat on a sidewalk
With my legs crossed
Time eleven o five
On a flawless night
Tuning in to the flutter
Of a fallen dead leaf
I fixated on that one
As it glided to my feet
Twisting on a stone
As if in a dance to
The howl of a lone dog
That passed by me
Chasing the corner
Of life's old sleeve
I laid back on the mortar
To see no stars that day
My head on the cement
My torch on the sand
Its rays alit the dust
Cajoling a chimera
Of the dusk at night
Twirling like thoughts
In the realm of a mind
The sky looked angry
Where was the moon?
I waited in wonder
For hands of the clock
To meet each other
Ticking to the caress
Of a lover's content
N' the color in the clouds
To come alive for this noon
The beauty in trivial
Is the beauty of this june
My heart felt lethargic
To even leave this room
But the zephyrs of night
That floated to my face
Reminded me of home
N' of my eventual rise
Despite my dreams
That desired of delay
In leaving this road
N' walkin' back to mine

My grammar might be *not good* for some people but I assure you that it's readable. There are a couple of authors that help me with proofreading some chapters, but because I want to release faster, I do not go through proofreading and post as soon as I finish a chapter. Plus, I am now using Grammarly.com There is no romance for the MC in the story, like you may expect, even though there are a lot of good looking men and women. *mild spoiler* After chapter 3, The mc meets quite some friends, before grinding her level after chapter 15. I assure you, it will be really hardcore for her since she will have to fight alone while her friends are doing other things. *spoiler end* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From now on, an update will happen every two week. I will also edit the old chapters on Monday. The people that want to read a proofread/edited version, will have to check it on Tuesday. ON HALT! Many thanks to Cool3303, Alverost, BloodTear, Vijaykakani and Nekolyn Emi for proof reading the chapters. If other want to take this story, go on. Do not have to credit the author. Author on a journey to death.
