Current Chronicle

The tears shed
I've realized is time lost
The lines that bled
Scarlett love, ruby red
Her tears beheld the cost
Such enticing thoughts
Circling my brain
They hold my love
They cause me pain
Give me reason to believe such banality.
When I've spent so many years
Thinking I'm bored with mortality.
Out of thin air, materialized, my worst fears.
This chronicle, so much like others before
Held the twist that none think of anymore
His glances stunned me, shocked me
Tainted angel light, it made me never want to leave
Against their wishes, against my will
Keep pushing the line
Mess with their minds
Be untrust worthy until
You're fighting back time
Ignoring truth, defending lies
Underestimating me, their own mistake
This glass heart, always threatening to break
Shatter so completely
What did you expect?
My only desire
His arms around me.
My only wish
Him to grace my company
But you leave me with a broken heart?

The lines that bled Scarlett

The lines that bled Scarlett love, ruby red Favourite lines! A lovely write. Just one of the things that concerns me is the interchanging of pronouns - which changes the whole rythme and meaning eg. "his arms around me" "him" then becomes "But YOU leave me with a broken heart" Also a confusion with the tenses sometimes. OTherwise, some superb metaphors: "this glass heart ...shatter so completely" Keep up the good work! Bonita j

That was a good read

That was a good read Pheonix, and from your summary it appears you do know what going on and why. Hope to talk with you soon to find out about what been going on since this blog. Just got back, but had to come and see what you have been up to. Take care of you, Julie D.D.
