Drip

Seriously random poem/song with possible double meanings? Even I'm confused. ..

Drip drop plop Raindrops on the rooftop Drip Drip Drop I just wanna flop Right into bed Cover up my head Close my ears to the things you said Somebody take my fears- Put them in a box…   X...x...x... Metal on metal Wait for the knives to settle And the water to boil in the kettle Don't get caught by the nettle   Whoosh… Wind rushing through the bush My nerves have gone to mush Someone please push Me over the edge Don't te...

Middle Men

What is the meaning of life

We walk the path of life, With death waiting at the finish line. The beginning and end are the same, What matters is the middle. Tis the path of the middle men…   What if life and death made transactions, And we were nothing more than the middle men. Our plans, our dreams, our future, Doesn’t really matter once the transaction expires.   Like the famous expression, #YOLO. You Only Live Once. So I wonder, is there really l...

THE GIRL IN THE RED DRESSI saw her face, a crowded place.I have reached the point in my life where I have to start my journey. Time to stop ‘trying to’ live life and live it for once. With my vision blurred and a problematic iris, I found myself in the middle of my mid-life crisis and realised I had been living life the wrong way. I was on a wrong journey, one that was asymmetric with destiny. So, I broke out of my shell....

Somedays I feel like diving,out to the ocean and into the cold,just let the waves take me,until I naturally float. My most morbid thoughts,are of getting old,it's a long hard life,and I don't want to be around that long. All the time I try to feel indifferent,but what will I become,with no passion, no anger,with nothing to love? All that is left is this sad, degrading carcass.And as for my soul,it has rotten; it's gone da...

It's the end of times, People pray for their lives. And where were you when we needed a hand to hold? And where were you when faith ran away? The children die as their mothers cry, Our lives just pass, Like grains of sand falling into the hourglass, Like the pieces falling off our house. The promised land, our paradise, Seems to dim, Just like a breaking light. The gates of hell, Opened on birth, Closer to death, Burn hot...

Marching On

If you're looking for something, this isn't it

Oh…..March 1 st , how nice to see you again. I would like to come to an agreement today,if at all possible. If you promise not to be a miserable prick, I promise I will not call you one. Maybe I will even start to like you, or at least be cordial; a fake smile eventually turns real. I think I’m going to coin that. Be it true or not, I am going to post it everywhere and find out. If you force a smile, does the forcing part...

Change and Random Things

Just some unfiltered things.

Goodness, I’m such a caveman. Or perhaps that should be cavekitty. Whatever. I’ve just nommed a can of meatballs in tomato sauce, using a mini combat knife as cutlery. I couldn’t get the ones in gravy, which is a pity because I prefer those ones. Still, tomato is nice enough. Fills a hole, which is really all one can ask. Whoo! I’m going back to college. I’ll be wholeheartedly honest, it’s a prospect that excites me and a...

Thoughts

Take a skulk through my head.

Thoughts, random and ephemeral,stomp through my head. Some are taken note of,some allowed to float off. Ideas happen daily,some acted upon,most tossed aside. Kitten saunters through,always a pleasant thought.Kitty loves her. Is in love. Projects planned, seeds planted. A bass guitar body, you say? How much? Fifty quid? Mine!I'll take those pups, too. Now I just need a neck,perhaps I'll make one.Thus, a new project begins....

A Random Moment, Part 21: Steig For Mayor?

Is life getting back to normal? Surely not!

Claire sat there with a stunned face on. “Are you sure it’s the same person?” She asked.“Who else would it be?”Just as he was about to put the newspaper down and shout Cynthia, the phone rang.“Hello?” Rufus answered.“Hi, it’s mum. Seen the paper?” “Yeah, what’s with that?”“Well, apparently Steig is running for Mayor.”“Well, fuck,” Rufus exclaimed, then yelped.“Thanks, Cynthia,” Gloria laughed, knowing it was her who smack...

A Random Moment, Part 20: Amy and Gloria Talk

Are the answers just more questions?

As Gloria pulled into her driveway, she dreaded the conversation which was to follow. Amy was talking to her as if nothing had happened, but everyone was aware that something was going on. Gloria only had a faint idea, but it was enough to make her suspicious. “Amy, come in, have a seat. Can I get you anything?” Gloria offered.“No, I’m fine, let’s just get to talking, shall we?”“Business, eh?”“Something like that.”A chill...

Mental Madhouse, a sad Teenage Girl's Mind

Trixie, a people-pleaser type has succumb to a mental break-down. What will she do?

Boredom has suppressed me far too long, it is now time to engulf this unpleasant feeling and channel it into a sort of amusing act. A 17 year old girl named Trixie. Brunette, a people-pleaser type of girl. She just got out of a relationship with her boyfriend, both having spent majority of their time together for half a year. Only a few weeks passed since the separation, but on Trixie's side, those dreaded few weeks dragg...

Rufus sat and thought. He still had no idea if it really was Amy in the dream, or if he was just wishing it. “I really miss you, Amy,” he sobbed to the room.It was as if he was expecting to get some sort of reply, but nothing came. Sitting with his tea, he wept, thinking of Amy. “Remember the first time we met?” He smiled, “I just about shat myself. Mind you, you were pretty spooked too. I think that’s what brought us tog...

It just happened, no reason, very little rhyme.

A Random Moment, Part 16: William

What the hell is the deal with William, anyway?

Ray kept babbling, going around and around in circles. He knew what he was saying, but what he was saying made no sense to Rufus.“Ray, are you saying that Amy knew my dad?” “Exactly,” Ray held his head in his hands.“But, I don’t remember anyone called William. How can you be sure?”“I’m sure, I know William and I know he wouldn’t make a mistake. Not about this.”“Ray, I wasn’t aware that Amy was the cause of Willie being co...
