The dark, fog, shadows... Sunset...
The sharp sound of a ****** of crows in a carrion tree
that has more stories to tell than the earth itself.
Slight chilling breeze
Ropes slowly swing
Specked with blood, from past lives.
The face, crying upon a rock, as if it were tears of crimson.
Echoes of children through the hollow air.

But there is nothing

...

Nothing at all

You are alone.
Found another very old writing of mine, it was also paired with a drawing (I maybe have 2-3 total drawings in my lifetime) . In the drawing there is an abandoned church, a large dead tree in the center, a busted swing set, a rock with a moss covered face and a small cemetery.
Written sometime in spring 2005.

The spark that will be my hot-aired transport to lift me to the visions of grandeur inspired by childhood innocence and dream.
Found a really old one rummaging through old notebooks.

"...it's the fleeting feeling of love and being wrapped so tightly in one another. That's what were here for and what makes it worth while..."
-Corene Merrill Watson Ross
Love you grandma.

Self* induced
Intoxicating lull
Barley, wine, hops and to the moon
Shine.

Will I no longer think of you until the dawning hours?

I can't say.

Or will it be the witching hours of which
my mind you will prey?

I fall in love with every pretty girl I see

...

My minds adrift and I paint how life could be

Don't fall for me.
I'm broken, cogs rusted,
Barely turning.

They say "all is fair in love and war."
But what becomes of the casualties?
