Where art thou?
No... Where am I?
Eye to Eye
You see this world the same as I
I can't comprehend
Nor can I set down my pen
The dark waves engulf the beach once again
It embraces them as an old friend.
The light is hidden within the dark.
It is hard to find, but you may see a spark.
Don't search, for the waves carry it away,
But you shall find it again one day.
Amongst rhythm and rhyme,
I wish you well until next time.
-Brook
Note: Not my best work, but it has been years so I guess it is a start.
ceaseless thoughts haunt
each waking moment
each night's dreams
always alone
when you aren't here
more so when you are around
talking everyday
reserved and distraught
with what's left unspoken
you walk away
carry on with life
anguish in your wake
--guess what?
there's going to be a party jeff
--where at?
the last place you'd wanna go..
--not.. McDonalds playplace
yep..
-- who's the idiot throwing?
take a guess
-- a 5 year old?
around the corner comes the preps
most fair and popular of them all
what idiots they are
for holding a party
at McDonalds

It's No Big Deal +$original$+
it's no big deal
the red as it spreads
upon my flesh
it's no big deal
the voices i hear
of memories long past
it's no big deal
what drove me
to a premature end
it's no big deal

A Crag, Trickle, and Path
everything looks fine and calm
as i walk along the path
which ends abruptly at a crag
i stand at the edge looking down
and see a trickle flowing along
and a small path to follow down
i rest that day, and the next
and on the third i start down
to see what i can find
day by day
this is deeper than i thought
but i finally reach the bottom
looking up i see the pain
the earth had born
a mirror to my own
the trickle at the bottom
was the blood of the earth
the only tears it shed
just like the cuts upon my arms
received and intentional
picked up on the way down
i look back at the top
remembering the beauty there
and start my c

Literature
night's early dawn
its the time of the dead
the witching hour
the middle of the night
there's nobody around
windblown leaves
scurry across the ground
the moon on high
a pale orb
lighting the way
a silence pervades the air
and a chill settles
as the moment draws near
there's nobody here
they're all asleep
while you are here
there's a blade in your hand
the hilt lost long ago
but that doesn't matter
you gaze at the iron
a dull shine to it
what a handsome blade
you stay there all night
thinking of everything you've done
the life that you have led
and while the dark begins to fade
you spill crimson upon the ground
and the grave of your lov
which came first
the chicken or the egg?
nobody really knows
but still the question is asked.
is it so people can debate
on wether God exists or not?
or is there more than meets the eye
a deeper longing for reassurance?
Cool, pale light
falls on the surface
of the ocean before me
the water laps, breaks
washes over the shore
on which i sit
the cool palm fronds
of the trees under which i sit
swish in the gentle breeze
the pale cold face
of the moon looks
upon all i see
it looks upon me
the night is perfect

i haven't updated my journal in a LONG time.. so i thought i'd do it now while i'm using my laptop to put music on my phone. to start off newyear's day or so i got drunk and sat on the laptop with the screen closed. thus resulting in it being shattered. i'm still looking for "motivation" to fuel writing again, but it's not working ... and i'm EXTREAMLY bored. anyway, try and figure out what the typos are because i just can't see half the screen to fix them unless i hooked up to the TV we have.. and someone is using that at the moment..
later guys, i'm going to keep up to date through my phone but it might not work too well
sitting here now after i don't remember how long since i've done anything artistic or creative. i got the feeling to some back here and see if i can get inspiration, or get the outlet i used to have to the newest events of my life that i don't agree with. this site might be used later next year however readily and easily as i'm supposed to be in afganistan.. we'll see how it goes in the next year and a half or so.
no problem, the folder i found this in, and the peice you named my souls voice wasn't appropriately named though. it's not failed writings if someone appreciates your work. keep it up
