Photo I took years ago for my 35mm photography class.  Thought it would go great as cover art for my short story "The Saddest Sky in the World" about a supposed impending apocalypse.

Of Messengers and Wolves

by theserpentthecharmer:  

"I've sat through a thousand other sunsets in my life

They've all been beautiful but this one is for you 

It's warming the air around us while the darkness sets in

You are still alive and so am I for the time being

It's gotten hard for me to write and color lost its glow 

But the night took you away and left me no place else to go

You're more than a painting ever conveyed to our eyes

More beautiful than the ivory on old piano keys

I never thought the world was a stage but now I see

It was meant to display you, the unrequited, and me

 -

Crushed under the weight, a skeleton rusting at its hinges

I am worried that these wolves will take you away from me

And I'm in no condition to fend them off with my bare hands

When they're reaching for yours even though you're not there

This is where the fangs dance electric, where moonlight goes astray

-

Why don't we walk a little ways until the atlas gets changed

And a place we knew becomes a graveyard or a stage 

I barely know the sound of your name, but I'm trying

There is only so much a man can find in his own heart beating

Sometimes I fear it's your footsteps leaving

And I wake up to find I was always alone

I'd have asked the ocean to spare us but it owes me no favors

I guess this is love and these must be its labors"

I was inspired by Tears from Heaven by brandi jeaux and The chapel of nowhere by belcath1981 and wanted to merge the two together.

Here is the shorter version of the experimental Childhood video I made using Spaceship's mix of Metaphorest's "Make Your Mind Up."  

The picture of the upside down sky is a picture I took that I haven't uploaded to HitRECord yet.

*This image is in need of a tiny story....

It was really the snake inside her that scared her the most.

Jonavan was a bad boy today.

He turned into a werewolf.

This is a tiny story about an imaginary friend I had when I was three.  His name was Jonavan.  I wanted to find an appropriate drawing to go with the tiny story and "TOM the Rascal" was the best thing I could find that I thought would fit with my story.

Lucky was she

who got caught in the leaves

and floated on up

where Heaven should be.

Just a fun little experiment I wanted to make for this tiny tune that I love.

I Dreamed a Dreadful Thing

I dreamed a dreadful thing again.

The severed limbs swam round my head.

Tidal waves crashed all around me.

And you were poisoned, ignoring me as if I were 

nothing but a leaf, floating down stream.

Distorted and skewed faces replaced

all the windows and shutters,

Boxing me in.

Surrounding me with devious smiles 

even though I could not see them.

-I tend to have very vivid, unimaginably scary nightmares that still stay with me after I wake.  So today, after such an occasion, instead of dwelling on the images in my mind, I decided to write, and this is what I wrote.
