This is my new blog. There's a lot of visual art on my other one so I thought I would make a blof that focuses on textual art. Basically it's a place I can post all my poetry.

The Art of Dreaming

Though I can never quite remember I can never quite forget The spectres of my past Still haunt me yet Like the remnents of a dream Half faded in the light A constant quiet presence In the shadows of the night I try to escape into the tunnels of my head Hide inside the kingdom Under covers of my bed I'll be the dreamer And you'll be the artist My imagination Your painted over canvas You might fill it with your dreams But you can not ignore The faint scars that still remain of what was there before You could be the soul To my body and heart And I'll be the silent witness To your stolen art.

To outer senses there is peace, A dreamy peace on either hand, Deep silence in the shadowy land, Deep silence where the shadows cease. Save for a cry that echoes shrill From some lone bird disconsolate; A corncrake calling to its mate; The answer from the misty hill. And suddenly the moon withdraws Her sickle from the lightening skies, And to her sombre cavern flies, Wrapped in a veil of yellow gauze.

I’ve lost track of where friendship ends and falling begins. (this is the foolish refrain of the hopelessly devoted.)

Henry

There was a boy named Henry. He lived inside a cage. And when the fairies let him out He was in an awful rage He vowed that he would get revenge but he never really did whenever he saw his captors come He simply ran and hid. There was a boy named Henry He wasn't even real He just exists inside my head And I don't know how to feel Last night I had a dream And in it, Henry said; You need to get some other friends Find other pals instead Find other guys to "hang with" Ones that aren't just in your mind But made up mates are easy Real friends are hard to find I haven't seen him since And it makes me rather sad The memory of him makes me wince And then I feel quite bad But now I see a (metaphorical) lightbulb turn on above my head I now see it was I who was trapped Like butter between bread Stuck within reality The realm of possibility And now that he is gone, I see; It was Henry who was truly free.

Necrobella

She was the shadow in the dark With blood red lips and haunted eyes A shining star that lost it's spark A diamond in disguise She was the whisper in your heart The darkness of your dreams They call her Necrobella The Phantom Faerie Queen She was the voice inside your head Wicked whispers scar your mind Dutiful messenger of the dead Beautiful ghost of words unsaid She was the whisper in your heart The darkness of your dreams They call her Necrobella The Phantom Faerie Queen

She is the half forgotten dream Waking wonders fade with the light For nothing's ever as it seems When morning springs From the ashes of night...
