Unnamed

The new world is poison
And you are an old soul
You've been tainted by its colours
You've been victim to its wounds.

Now you want to understand it,
Change it for the better
But you sit there naked in your letters,
Writing home in your worst.

Give me boxes, keep my stories
And let the bells of London toll,
I'm on the slave ship that sails asunder
I'm the stain upon its gold.

another day in paradise

"it's a wonderful wonderful life"
i am washed over again,

black and blue seeps away from my skin,

the nib drawing away the ink from its pot.

let the words appear on some other page,

let me read it, let me see it somewhere else.

how we survive,

"no need to run and hide"

i see it all again.

moments slip into the shadows,

i clock my time, in and out,

of this conscious living,

sustained by faith alone.

sometimes hope doesn't even cut it,

it's the dogma of duty,

it's the beckoning of the truth,

into the valley of death rode us,

the five of us.

but it's a wonderful wonderful life.

Aloha!

Hii there :)

This is my first post and it is just to introduce myself and why I want to write, really.

I always found keeping journals or diaries hard, even as a child.
I preferred to write lots and then write dates down for those separate pieces. I guess this is my way of stringing all those stories together and hopefully, posting and updating more as they come along as I move through my life.

I wouldn't call myself a writer as I am too undisciplined for it, haha. I write when I am inspired and when I can't express myself through music, dance or speech. I enjoy doing a lot of things, but writing has always been one of my most instinctive things to do. I really want to keep doing it as I feel I can really say what I need to in more effective ways as I grow.

There are many questions I try to answer...from many different perspectives. For me, writing is about discovery. When you write something down, sometimes you find that you finally were able to clear the traffic jam in your mind, and maybe, if you're lucky, someone else's too. That is all I hope to do, to be a good read, to tap a thought within the crevasses of my mind, or yours...to show my human side, and to be part of a tradition that kept cultures, religions, and people alive for centuries that have passed, and that are yet to come.

I hope you enjoy this, as much as I enjoy writing.
