Keyhole, 3rd revision Snow is cellophane
covering the leftover landscape.
Trees silently push through the layers,
breaking the sheet of white.
Life is dormant.
Mother is not.

Treacherous terrain tirelessly
torments as I trek onward.

Sleet turns to hail, becomes needles.
The porch light, a beacon,
defeats the flurries
and guides me home.

My knees fracture
the seemingly endless sheets
in front of me.

To fight is the only option.
Mother's wrath is an ocean,
never ending. Painfully white.

Smoke escapes
from the lone metropolis,
my wooden sanctuary.

I arrive.

Winter's End The days seem to be going by
faster than they used to fly
around my head and through the sky
back to those times when I wanted to die.

Now there's nothing but snow on the ground
and I walk through it without making a sound
and I'm thinking of you and your frozen heart
and how you tore my life apart

I need to find someone to help me again,
help me revisit all the places I've seen,
the thoughts that I've thought, words that I've spoken,
help me pick up the pieces of this broken

man that I call myself today.
After that, I pray to find a way
to put it to an end, yes, once and for all,
but then I realize that I am nothing at all.

Keyhole, 2nd revision Snow is cellophane
covering the leftover landscape.
My face is raw, a patchwork
of mother's handiwork.

Sleet turns to hail, becomes needles.
The porch light, a beacon,
defeats the flurries
and guides me home.

I turn the knob.
The hinges groan,
as though woken
from slumber.

A careless blast
of wind forces the door
from my hand, like a strong hook
to a boxer with his guard down.

Snowflakes and hailstones invade
my mountain cabin with no regard
for lit candles or the smoldering fireplace.

I struggle closing
the door until I hear the click
of the latch, bring relief like the bell
at the end of a round.

Thaw, 2nd revision My twenty-one speed Trek sits
in the shed out back
next to some left-over
siding and a rusty lawnmower, waiting
for Pioneers Park, quiet
side streets, the MoPac, or
a short
jaunt to Physics.

Snow has sealed its fate for another
few months. Blizzards
and resulting sheets of snow protect
hillsides and trails from
gears and derailers which beg
to prove their merit again.

My Trek sits in the shed out back,
where it remains dormant .
Spring will bring
the air to deflated
inner tubes, so they may
again conquer.Thaw, 2nd revision by ~ravenbassist

My Colorless Prison 3rd revise

My Colorless Prison 3rd revise

:iconravenbassist:

I'm trapped in a cell
with no escape in sight.
There is no door or window,
just four walls, a ceiling,
and the floor.

The floor is a drab, light brown,
devoid of life, harder than stone.

The wall in front shows the wind
howling like a wolf through bare trees,
sending fallen leaves soaring
like hundreds of tiny, brown birds.

To the left and right are walls drifted over,
the same as a country ditch
after the first snowfall of the year.

Above, there is grayness, a bare sheet
like a sky with no blue left to show.
Sometimes the blue fights to return
but to little avail.

I long to look back
at the wall that I was once behind,
to blue skies and sunlight.
Little is left for me to do.
Time is the key
to this colorless prison.

All Watchers

Seven months.

:iconravenbassist:

It's been seven months since my last journal. I'm not sure why I haven't updated, but so be it.

I've written countless new things, but none manage to meet my expectations.

I don't play my guitar(s) nearly as much as a should. (Read: I play maybe once a week.)

I've been drinking too much.

I have fallen for too many people and have yet to hit the ground. I fear for the pain that will come when I finally do. There is, of course, a new one. I'll probably make the same mistakes as always. Maybe I'll at least get a nice, angst-ridden song out of it.

Classes start again in a few weeks. Hopefully I can be finished with all of this come Spring.

I'm still in the United States. I've never wanted to be anywhere but here more than now.

Thanks for reading.

I know you don't care.
