Identity (Parts I – VI) 0

I’m not sure whether to call this a poem or a short story. When ideas come into my head, I want to write them down – whether it be an entire story or a simple thought. But if I write a short story, I feel I must keep going – keep developing a plot. It [...]

Lifeless (Taken) 0

Shallow words
Can’t escape my chest
They have nowhere to go
Open doors
Remain locked
Keeping me out
Risen Gates
I dare not enter
For fear they will fall
Hollow rooms
Imprison me
From my true desires
Heavy chains
Weigh me down
Locked onto myself
Flowing water
I dare not stray
For fear I will be washed away
Rising steps
I cannot climb
My strength for now eludes me
To the sky
I dare not look
There’s nothing [...]

Sansa e280v2 Regrets & Guide for GNU/Linux 1

Well, I recently ordered a Sansa e280 from Amazon. I was looking for a good mp3 player that the open-source firmware RockBox supported. I noted that the v2 series was not supported, but Amazon did not state that it was such a model. You can imagine my disappointment once it arrived.
After debating whether or not [...]

This cage will never hold me
Only let me plan escape
The room they have allowed me
Is a fatal mistake
For within it I can grow
Stronger than before
So when they do release me
The beast is to fear that much more
But fortune’s in their favor
For I’m a timid soul
And though my rage exists
It’s under my control
But beware
Do not provoke
This [...]

Drop 0

Do you ever had those odd thoughts that just seem to interest you, but are completely and utterly pointless? This is one those poems. I imagined droplets falling into water in darkness. That spawned this train of thought. There was no imagination during the writing, aside from how the words sounded. …oh, and I was [...]

Overprotective? 0

How much is too much when it comes to protecting the person you love? I’ve come to realize that there is no answer. It depends wholly on the individual you’re protecting. Some love clingy, some love overprotective, some just want their space.Share/Bookmark

Opening 0

My thoughts I place here
in such a form
that I hope it captures more
than a normal write.
I hope the rhythm
will capture the grace
or impurity of my mind.
I hope the form
will demonstrate the order of my thoughts.
I hope the words
will reproduce my feeling.
But most of all
I hope you can read my handwriting.Share/Bookmark
