《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

Spell Bound
“It wouldn’t be a lie to say that many of us want to change our lives for one reason or another. Power, money, lust, love, acceptance… loneliness. Empty endless screaming loneliness; that was my reason. Loneliness that just didn’t go away no matter what I did or how hard I tried. Maybe some of you can imagine how I felt, perhaps even felt it yourself or still do. It is a terrible feeling isn’t it? It can be maddening beyond belief. I remember sitting on the floor in the corner of my room staring at the endless white walls hating myself. The loneliness had gotten so bad I would just sit there and cry. I felt so alone, so isolated, so inadequate. Would you run away from it all if this was your life? Would you try to change things? What my dear reader would you do? This is the story of how I ran, how I lived, how I tried to change things and how I finally died. Dear reader this book is the story of my life and those around me. The knowledge I’ve gained, the wisdom I have acquired, my triumphs, my failures, those I loved and those I hated. This book is all that I am and hoped to be. It is yours now, may it serve you well and guide you to a happier future than mine.” Excerpt taken from the journal of Kaden Vos also known as, “The Butcher of Rakan” -- I have been a long time reader and have always wanted to create something myself. I hope you all find this world I am creating fun and enjoyable. As I am new to this, any advice or feedback you have will be greatly appreciated and I will do my best to improve. My goal is a chapter a week, but sometimes it can be a bit tough with work and taking care of the family. Thank you all for reading. -- PS: I take no credit for the new cover, you are an amazing artist whoever you are. I am only using it for a temp cover till I can make something myself.
