Mulling by airmega23, literature

Literature

Mulling

I see it when you look my way; there's nothing but love in your eyes. Like flowers blooming in May, delicate is the happiness that fills our lives. I know my heart beats true, for in you I've found redemption. But lately, I would give it up for a little deception. Give me something to write about; please, won't you break my heart. Be jealous, petty, quick to judge, that would be a start. I don't like to ask favors, but this I can't do without. I beg you to walk away, and give me something to write about. Let's cut this tired romance, I just want a show. Tonight might be the final chance to rekindle a withering muse. Epics

Petals of a Rose

Petals of a Rose gh Batt There's been silence in the room, while many decades evanesce. See a new age in bloom and pick the petals off. Press them in the pages of a worn out, tired book. Been through the ages, take a look. It seems to be the case, that the world is quickly changing. The traditions once embraced, seem to be forgotten. Where has the splendor gone? The past is all alone, nothing more than words scraped, on a stone. As monuments begin to fall; people start to blather. Covered in a pall, idols slowly start to weep. A time cannot be preserved, like the petals from a rose. It lives for the moment, then it goes

Seasons in the Sun

Seasons in the Sun gh Batt Goodbye my love, our time has passed; I fear our next embrace will be the last. I wish that we could start anew; but the setting sun it is my cue, my voice will always be with you. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun; but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time. Goodbye mama, don't cry for me. You always sang "what will be, will be." I'm sorry that I caused you grief; there's no time for a change of leaf, peek to see what's underneath. Goodbye papa, it's hard to die, when all the birds are singing in the sky. You know you were always right; serious things I took too

Petty Forfeit by airmega23, literature

Literature

Petty Forfeit

Such a sight it is to see, the merit that children place on such simple things. A pack of gum, a toy or a pet, can lead to instant prominence; rivaling that of kings in the monarchy of the schoolyard. In an instant everything becomes attainable, friends, being "it", the best swing. All theirs without question, a right of passage they must deserve. Recess passes to lunch, as the day slowly expires. The bell rings, and as they pass from class to hall each minion gathers around their master. They all seek one final taste, one chance to play, or to view the all important fixation; so they can endure the night. Upon the comple

Night Swimming by airmega23, literature

Literature

Night Swimming

Night Swimming I sit and reflect on the instance we met, the euphoria, the taste of tangerine. The day seems so long ago, yet I cannot get that picture out of my mind. Your golden hair and eyes of diamonds shimmering; beauty can be seen as shallow but in yours I found a place to swim. A new world of happiness awakened that day; sun setting on the old; I swam in the moonlit night finally escaping the heat that only hours ago had been unbearable. Rain whimpers through the night; all the while, swimming consumes me. Breath becomes second to water as the heavens now lack the cool bliss water provides. The longing to go deeper,

the days of grandeur by airmega23, literature

Literature

the days of grandeur

the days of grandeur Take me back to the moment it was right; place my hand in yours and tell me not to cry. Memories fade from day to day, yet the picture still stands the same. The test of time is one I have failed; I pushed too hard, pulled down thin walls that had stood so firm. my struggles ended in a happiness I could not foresee; I wish that time could take it all away, reconstruct the life when I was free. Magic fingers grasp my own and I smile against better judgment. Many men have met their match in giving up that gift of laughter. I sprout new branches left and right; maternal and paternal no longer exist. They

You can never know By GregBatt by airmega23, literature

Literature

You can never know By GregBatt

You can never know By Greg Batt Are you someone\'s prayer tonight? Someone\'s last ray of light? Are you the only good they see? Are you the one they want to be? But how can you tell? Inside others hearts, In the very core of hell. Maybe you are keeping them alive, And you is the good for which they strive. You can never know, What it is like, To be someone thats not you. To be someone so normal, So insignificant. You cant even imagine.

One forgotten Moment by airmega23, literature

Literature

One forgotten Moment

One forgotten Moment By Greg Batt A part of dreams, Is waking up. Remembering them with a, Reaccuring grin. Embrace them once again, Before they slip away, Into the forgotten valleys, Of the mind I live In cruel twist of fate, In a reality where there is, Less love than hate. Lives are tattered, And belittled, Until there is but a shadow Of the glory that once was. A stale fragment, Of a past that once was. One forgotten memory, One forgotten dream.

I wasnt special by airmega23, literature

Literature

I wasnt special

I wasnt Special By Greg Batt I wasn\'t special, I had nothing to offer, Nothing to give you, That could make you stay. I couldn\'t be your hero I couldn\'t save the day. I gave you my words, I gave you the key, My mind. But you blocked out happiness You blocked out the sun. Eventually there was none. Every memory has been darkened, No more comfort they give, No reason to live. I sit, I cry, I yearn, For one of the memories, So I could stop, What I helped start By stabbing it Through my cold heart.

Lies By Greg Batt by airmega23, literature

Literature

Lies By Greg Batt

Lies By Greg Batt Lies Its all about lies. Me, you, everyone We all live in lies. Our lives are lies So are our dreams. We cant all be the Stars, Because if we were, Who would be the people to serve them? How can we all find love? Its a lie. To love, We must also be loved. And to be loved, Is to be cherished, By one, As the world, Looks ever by. Lies, Everyone lies, Just like when you, Uttered the words, I love you.

Healers By Greg Batt by airmega23, literature

Literature

Healers By Greg Batt

The Healers By Greg Batt Where do the healers go, When they need healing. How do I, Stop what Im feeling. Because I dont know, Exactly what to do. All I know, I dont know, What im going to say, Everyday, Continues on, In the same hellish way. I wish that I could fly Over this all. And I wish I could catch myself, Before I fall. Because I am going to hit the ground, And I think that I, I think that I, Am soon going to die. The world around me, Is slowly decaying, And I have no idea, Why Im staying. My dreams are slowly evaporating, Into the thin air. And I wonder, Why are you still standing there? Do you enjoy thi

The One By Greg Batt

The One By Greg Batt I am the one The you pass you in the hall, You just stare as you pass me by You judge me But you haven\'t even said \"Hi\" I am the one Picked last, If at all And when I play No one passes me the ball I am my own team Against all fo you, I cant win, So why bother to fight I am the one Behind the crowd Silent, crying As they yell out loud For they are the many, And I am... The one...

Now That You're Gone by FalseSolace, literature

Literature

Now That You're Gone

Black hair - all up in curls, dark eyes - twinkling, brow - seamless and drawn on, and a smile always at your lips: this is how I'll always remember you now that you're gone, your gentle face and sweet voice etched away in my memory. I remember those days as a child, ringing your doorbell and seeing those soft eyes appear on the other side of the screen door and hugs and kisses for all; and never was there a time without fresh Cokes in the icebox and new toys in the toybox and a pint of Haagen Daas awaiting its end. We never tired of Bingo or piano play or endless games of gin-rummy for spare change, but always found

Literature

time travel

I wish i could go back there and listen more closely to the sound of your lips pulling away from mine. and the sound of each breath and each beat of your heart against my ear. i thought i held it so closely then but now after so long i realize i never listened close enough and i never held the feeling close enough and i never kissed your lips hard enough. or maybe i just didnt love you good enough to keep you close to me. maybe if i wouldve tried a little harder and pulled myself a little closer maybe just maybe you would have felt the same. and maybe youd be here now because everyones body

Prejudice by Heikou, literature

Literature

Prejudice

"I dont have a girlfriend..." Yeah, well neither do I. "I really need a girlfriend..." Yeah, well so do I. "If you get one, buy a camera." I cannot believe you just said that. "Get away from me!" What did I do? "I don't associate with bisexuals." You did yesterday. "Leave me alone." What's changed? "He's just scared" It's not my fault he figured it out. "Give him some time." I'm still the same person. "It just goes to show you who your real friends are." ...So the last three years were meaningless?

I see no changes by smokeyjoe50, literature

Literature

I see no changes

I see no changes, All I see is another war, sayin its for freedom, but its all been done before. My little brother of thirteen years, seen twice the killing, and twice the tears. In the same place, against the same race, and the same face, is smilin all over the place. You see Bush, I understand you, your tryin to do, what your daddy did too. But your daddy was wrong, It werent right, to invade Iraq, Its pointless to fight, violence with violence, and you cant silence me, not as long as I'm free, even if I'm in chains I'm still gonna decree. You aint nothin, without your tanks and your bombs, your army's, your navy'

I'm On My Way

Hey Valued Friends Well, do I have news! I recieved a call early friday morning; it was long distance, so I was pretty surprised. Frankly, I had just gotten off of my cool dial-up internet connection, and the phone rang. I answered it, and a rather pleasant woman asked for me, and I told her that she had the right person on the phone. She said, "Gregory, did you recently recieve a letter stating you had been waitlisted for admission to the school of pharmacy?" Now, me in my half sleeping daze said something that equaled a yes, to which she replied "well, we have just found out that we have one seat remaining, so would you like to join us in

Hey Valued Friends, What a day! I am pretty tired, so I doubt this will make a tenth of the sense it would have mde  if I written it an hour ago. I find it amazing sometimes how exhaustion can creep up on you before you even know it. I worked all day at the gallery, and then Sara and I cruised around, visited Judd, and watched TV. Not too exciting, but better to do nothing with friends than a lot alone. When I was over Judd's I ordered "Another Day At School" by the Velmas. It is being shipped by cdbaby.com, I havent really heard much about that site, but it looks okay. I hope I get my cd soon, as I really have wanted this CD for almost a y

Fixing A Hole

0 min read

Hey Valued Friends What time has passed since I have done this? My room is filled with pages of notebook paper (okay, about half a dozen) that were used in the making of my newest work, Mullings, and believe me I am quite happy for the mess. The fustration I have felt for months is dissipating, and I feel pretty giddy. University was a lot of fun. I'm serious, I actually enjoyed almost all my classes, and I made some amazing friends. Its insane how you can feel closer to people you know for months than those you have known for years. That said, being home for the summer is good too. I missed my family while I was gone, seeing them for about
