hello all, i never really frequent this section, mostly cause i dont consider myself as a writer... but last night while looking for my pictures to post for the comicidol contest, i came across some poetry and short stories i have written over the past several years... i finally feel comfortable with sharing my work, thanks penciljack, and i'd like to share with you all whats inside me... so hopefully you will like, if soill post more... if not, let me know and ill cease and desist...lol... i won't mind...
anyhow , hopefully this will be the first of many that i have...
You all sit and read my words
No one listens to what is said though...
Yet, i know there is one of you,
Yes... it is YOU, who understands what I say.
You read through these words with a careful perception
Catching the meaning between the lines...
You understand the juice that flows from my lips
To my fingers and into your mind.
My words are not lost on you...
You cannot comprehend it yet, but you can feel it in the air.
For some reason you realize that words are a twist...
One persons meaning is anothers misunderstanding...
Will you catch the meaning before the time is up?
Everyone else will read this for how it is written
Lines of poetry to be read...
NOT realizing that this is about their future...
Do YOU understand?
You are so close to the answer...
All you have to do is reach out and you will have it.
Why? Why won't you reach?
Why do allow yourself to be bound without chains?
Do you not realize the window you look through is not
made of stone...?
You can feel it... you want to reach.
Look... look outside... before you reach the window to the world,
You must first look through the window of your life.
Else , you WILL be lost...
Like everyone else...
