On the Wings of the Night
On the wings of night
They drowned
The keening of the moon
Bright as a faded monarch
Falling into rhythm
They stopped
The wailing of the sun
Dead in its prison
Availing
Awaiting
Instilling
New Power
In the silence
In the dark
As the crushing returns
I don't know how to ask you all the things swirling around in my head. All the important questions that mean nothing to the world, but are the world to me. I'm so muddled, and confused, and ill prepared. Why couldn't I have asked you in person? Why is it that I closed up so horribly....was so terribly unable to make the decision to query you? What is it about that proximity of presence that choked my vocals to a squelch?
I don't know. And I do. And yet none of that matters. I just can't quite grasp why I can't -now- ask those questions.You've always been understanding. You've never held a grudge. You've always told me you hold me in the high
She gave him a stern look, her amber eyes narrowed in a cold yet slightly uncertain manner.
"Those are some pretty strong accusations you're making, major." Her voice was firm, and cold as her eyes, but there was no malice in her tone. Whether that meant she just figured him a fool, or was actually weighing in that what he said could be true, was a matter yet to be determined. Her cool features gave no indication beyond that she felt the matter was grave, joke or no.
"I realize that, sir" the young man said. He was fiery, his own blue eyes clear with focused intent. He certainly wasn't joking, and it was for that reason that he had asked he

Never Mine -Dark Lady-
You are my dark lady
My siren of the night
Calling softly
But never mine
Yet always mine
You are my inspiration
My purpose, My thoughts My core
Inside all of me
But not mine
And always mine
I am afraid of you
And I need you
I am in love with you
And I fear what that means
When I find that you will never be mine
But always mine
When I liken you to the world
You are the fairest
The most
The best
The only one
To ever elicit these parts of me
From their hiding
Because you entered the shadows
My dark lady
My siren of the night
Your feared not what hid their
You took it all in stride
And it made you mine
But never mine
I seem to have this issue. Its obviously something I've created, all on my own. But, I can't help but realize that, without you, the problem wouldn't exist.
That being, of course, that you are exactly everything my mind always comes back to.
When something interesting happens, I tell myself "I need to remember this, so I can tell her about it". Or I think "I should text this to her". Or I lament that I didn't take a picture of something awesome, because it would have been so nice to send it to you, for you to see.
I feel like I cry and moan about this stuff a lot. Perhaps that's true....or maybe I just feel that way because I think about i
You permeate my life
Like water to a sponge
Soaked into every space of me
Like a sweet marinated food
Flavoring every part of me
Like wind in the trees
Swirling all around me
You permeate my life
When I wake in the morning
You are the first thing on my mind
While at work
You appear beside the hosts I see
In the car
I notice you in the vehicle beside me
In my dreams
You walk beside me
You permeate my life
And when you're gone
And your voice begins to fade from my ears
And your thoughts begin to recede from my mind
I feel lost
Because when you allow someone
To bind around you so completely
And missing they be

When my mind isn't preoccupied by overlapping thoughts - those things that take up my day to day life - I come to a point of semi-stillness. And I find myself drifting back to you. Where are you? What are you doing? Do you think of me too, from time to time?
We used to speak so frequently. So often. I thought those times, even those silences together, would never end. It amazes me still, how even so small a time can feel like such a gaping cavern of loneliness. And I can't even decide what the cause is.
I've been a fool of late. Ha, fool. Such an ironic word, come to think of it. Our insider's context knows why I use it. But, regardless of

You scare me sometimes
With your small vagueties
Eluding to things that
Could have a thousand meanings
Marking some obscure point
On parchmented coding
That makes those thousand
Spin endless in my head
I worry, and want to ask
Knowing full well that you
Would ask for help if you
Really want it
Really need it
Knowing full well that
You would tell me
Instead of giving me
Pinpricks in darkness
And shaded half-sentences
I understand it, and wait
Hoping somehow
By simply being here
That I can comfort
Be a strength unfound
Not knowing if that
Is what you need
Or want
For isn't there someone
Else who is your rock?

Home Is Where The Heart Is by AconiteVyper, literature
Literature
Home Is Where The Heart Is
Home is such a fickle thing
Here and there and wherever
A place, a thing, a space in time
Something immaterially material
But it's never really home
Until home isn't a place
or a thing
or a space in time
But a person
So special
So materially immaterial
That you'd give your heart away
To make them your home forever
He grins and laughs at me, his wide brimmed hat shadowing his already sunken eyes. "You're a fool." He's taunted me before. This same line, over and over again, helping me to replay the scene in my head. "She trusted you, and you, imbecile that you are, threw it away like a rusty nail."
"Shut up!" I can't stand it anymore. I've no more tears left to cry. Only words in my head that won't stop; won't leave me in peace.
"Peace?" he asks. Of course he can hear my thoughts. Of course he can read my words. He is me. I am him. And yet neither is the other. "You don't deserve peace, after that display. And now you avoid life like a rat, hiding in

I am a music and gaming enthusiast, living in the beautiful confines of the Montanan Rocky Mountains. In some of my spare time I write poetry, short stories, and role-play scenarios, often as a means of letting out thoughts and emotions that sometimes plague my mind.

Every time I come back here, I look at my poor journal and realize I haven't updated it in a while. I notice its been half a year. A whole year. A year and a half.
And while I may have moved forward, I know things continue. I believe, in one of my older pieces (though I'm too lazy to go back and find it ), I once mentioned that "the world turns", whether we're there to watch it do so or not. There's too much of the world for us to keep track of all of it at once - and the parts we don't participate in continue with or without us. Perhaps this is the knowledge that makes it so sad when one realizes they've left a place they once so frequently
Yar. Here I be. Nothing too crazy to talk about that doesn't involve my personal life. And even that simply complicated ("simply complicated". I'm funny).
Hope everyone's doing well. I know I don't post much but once in a blue moon anymore, and I apologize to those of you who are interested in my work for the lack therein. My interests in creation have meandered elsewhere, and tend not to work near as well for dA's source as it used to. But, as always, when something comes along that I feel does work, you folks will be among the first to see it.
Take care.

Wow. It's been over a year since my last journal entry. Somehow it doesn't seem like it could have been that long...though at least I suppose I haven't been entirely neglectful in putting up deviations in that time.
Hopefully they've tided over those few of you who still pop into here from time to time...
I'm afraid, in the foreseeable future, I probably won't be around by any meaningful amount more than what I have been in the past year. However...as poetry does still come to me every once and again, I will continue to post them here as appropriate. I'd continue to hope that, for those of you who -do- continue to hang around, and any of yo
Hey Paul! So I noticed that someone drew you a nice tribal wolf tattoo and I was wondering if you would be ok with me using the design. Thank you and I understand if you don't!
I don't frequent dA as much as I used to - but I caught you floating around because of your animated wallpapers posting on the WoW forums. You're a very talented person! It will be wonderful to keep up with any further stuff you do. I would much enjoy seeing more of these animated pieces - it's a niche I don't think many have taken up. And you're quite good at it.
Why, thank you, old friend. I'm managing. Life is life, as the world turns, and we all take our steps - one foot before the other - marching towards our future. That's all any of us can do.
I hope things are moving harmoniously in your realm as well.
