Almost

7th March 2011
Writing exercise from www.oneword.com, to the word "almost"
Oh, and by the way... in the end, the almost DID become an Absolutely Definitely Yes. :)

I’m sinking in a sea of "Almosts",
and they’re all gathering around you.
"Almosts" are the walls that surround and separate us.
They block what I want to say, and what I want to feel;
and instead of saying, instead of feeling,
I almost say. I almost feel.
I almost love.
I almost took a step towards you today;
but I paused and thought about the future it implied,
and my desires, and my actions remained an "Almost"
and I sat there wishing, wanting, wishing
that instead of an "Almost,"
it had been an "Absolutely, Definitely, Yes."

Iron Children

7th March 2011
The inspiration is quite obvious, I feel.

The walls vibrated as I waited,
As I put myself into your head,
And heard the cacophony created
By all the words you left unsaid.
...Words I left unsaid.
The irony weighs us down:
We were both quite the talkers
Were we not?
But yet...

Minor Fancies

backward thoughts

Stirring emotions, spurring passions unbound,
But feelings of emptiness fill up my mind.
Thoughts of you with me are reeling around.
Help me untie, help me undo, help me unbind.

Stopmotion Romance

February 24th 2011

I would replace our silence with kisses
if only I could.
But as the ticking of time presses us forward,
it marks not only the stirring anticipation
of our eyes meeting in a bustling crowd,
but also the sad realization that we
will never be blessed with the gift of Forever.

Welcome.

A little bit of insight and several little lies,
A few unsewn stitches, and plenty broken lines.
A certain bit of truth, but many fantasies.
Read between the lines,
To find what you can't see.

Welcome.
