Freckles!


my pet!


Meet freckles, my adopted purple tiger. For those of you familiar with either my myspace or facebook pages, you are probably already aquainted with him :) Please feed or pat him if you have a chance. It makes him feel loved :)

Sacrifice

I thought leaving would be the hardest part
But it’s not the leaving
The careless act of slamming the door behind me
It’s the freedom

How to continue?
Without your oppressing comfort
There is nothing
Where to go?
All the doors have been closed
The windows too
What to do?
Nothing…NOTHING
...the words have left me

It’s weighing on me
Slowly gnawing at my insides
And leaving me drained and useless
The creative freedom is gone
Vanished
With nothing left to rebel against
There is no longer any meaning, significance
Left to hope for

In gaining freedom I have killed hope
Without hope there is no freedom
With my own despair I have trapped myself again
To gift back the words and begin again
An unimaginable sacrifice

A poem that I have been working on for about the last month or so. I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out. Please let me know what you think...

Happy New Year and all that

And welcome to 2008! I'm sorry that my blogging here has been a bit sparse of late. Mainly due to being very busy the last few months and spending most of my net time on dA. But I haven't forgotten you blogger :). For those of you playing at home, I have quit my job and am going to TAFE to study music this year which I am quite excited about! So at the moment I am pretty much being a bum and not doing a real lot which has been fantastic. Since finishing work, I'm starting to get back into the creative spirit of things and have begun some more songs. Creativity is alot easier when there is no shitty stress like you get from work.
Anyways shall definantely try and keep this more updated this year and expect to hear more from me soon....:)

First Kiss

If you’re not looking for something how can you know it’s found?
It’s right in front of you
Showing you all you ever wanted
Needed?
Longed for

Some claim that they can learn everything about you
With that first kiss
That momentary touch of pink flesh
Everything?
Apparently

The biggest lie is stated in the above; it wasn’t your kiss
It was just you
The way you beckoned to me
A Gesture?
Seriously

“It must have been more than a gesture” I hear some say
But at that moment
I saw everything slide into place
Perfect?
Complete

How life was bearable before no one will ever know
I certainly don’t recall
Without you here beside me
Darkness?
Nothingness

I can see the light in your eyes; reflecting mine
It’s all in the eyes
The window to your soul
Open?
Comforting

Finding that which was lost in the first instance
And now it's been found
Never wanting to relinquish
Ever?
Ever

A second voice in a love poem? Yes that's right! I like this one...which is weird I don't usually like my sloppy love stuff...

Final Temptation

I stand at the crossroads
Which way is right?
To my left stands a man
To my right stands a knight

The man offers his hand
And says that he'll guide me
Gives freedom and joy
Loves me as I will be

Knight closes his visor
And lays down the law
No passage through here
Without being sure

Man shows how life is
And not how it should be
Keeps life alive
And will naught deny thee

The way of the knight
Is strewn with his lies
Created from riches
While innocents die

The man's path is love
The knight's filled with hate
So I'm torn between
Decision I make

Love should be felt
Not just so claimed
If knight could be cured
But alas he lies maimed

You may think I'm wrong
In what I have left
Behind me stands pain
Forwards lies death

Forgive me my choice
Though it's mine to choose
I know that I'm right
Though how sure are you?

This is also over on my dA page here: http://riverstar33.deviantart.com/art/Final-Temptation-65200289
Its really strange because I wrote this quite randomly in one hit in the space of about 10 minutes with a clear meaning in mind...by the time I'd finished I had two...now I have read it again a few times and this now has several different interpretations to me. I hope in reading it you can get something from it also...
