A DREAM
I am small, nothing more than a child, perhaps 9 or 10.
I am living in house situated on the side of a large volcano
In the middle of the night I am awakened by the sounds of screaming, thinking the worst I grab my things and begin running for the door only to find it already on fire.
I panic and start crying for my mother, but my mother is not here, I know this, she has never been here
As I lay there crying my house begins to burn and with it I feel the heat of the raging inferno.
I feel the burning of my own skin begin but I can do nothing, I just lay there crying as the skin and muscle is burnt off my body, I can smell the co
A DREAM
A desert, impossibly large continuing beyond sight in all directions.
I am lost within its depths, searching for something lost an infinitesimal amount of years ago.
As I am walking, searching, I hear a low throbbing sound, the sound of an engine of some sort.
I look around and eventually I see on the horizon a jet, coming directly towards me.
Salvation, rescue from this harrowing desert.
Not so, as the jet gets closer it begins to fire upon me, shots rain down upon the dunes around me, explosions all around making it difficult for me to see.
I search around for a weapon, anything to make the thing go away, I see in the
If you should fall
Ill pick you up
If you should call
Ill give you love
If you should ask
Ill do your duty
If you give me a reason
Ill love you forever
Darkness falls across the face of the world like a thick mist, entwining the souls of those beneath its wings like the shroud.
In these moments the world stands still.
I can see the inevitable ending of all that I care for,
and with that sight comes the terrible knowledge that I can do nothing to prevent it.
I sit in my grave listening to the sounds of the world around me.
All that I seem to hear though is the sound of my own voice, telling me to awaken from my nightmare.
But whenever I try to rise, the pain becomes unbearable and I sink back into oblivion.
The sound of voices.
Do they come from within me or do they have a different source?
Am I going mad?
If not why cant I seem to control what I think anymore?
Life, the unsolvable problem.
The unthinkable thought
Unimaginable even by the greatest mind,
For it is a twisting, turning road,
never following the same path twice.
A lightning bolt.
Maybe that is the answer to that ultimate question of what life is
A lightning bolt, arcing through the sky.
From a distance, serene and beautiful
But experienced first hand a frightening, dazzling effect
Mixing both poetry and ferociousness,
Calmness and death, pleasure and pain into one tremendous flash,
And then winking out as fast as it came.
Life is like a drop of water,
Glistening on the end of a single thread of string.
At any moment it could fall,
Smashing to the floor, never to return.
But while it hangs there, gently swaying in the eternal breezes of fate
It is beautiful and one of a kind,
Never to be seen in quite the same perspective again
Whispering sound of footsteps echoing through my mind
Who is it approaching?
Could it be he?
I have been waiting for such an inordinate time
Is it finally coming to pass?
Death.
That thing which we all travel towards no matter what choices we make in our lives
It will always find you in the end.
Inevitable.
So be reasonable, dont fear it because that will not achieve anything except exhausting you and possibly aiding him in his mission
Do not try to help him though
He will show you no gratitude for your assistance
The only thing you may get is mercy.
A quick and painless demise in trade for your effort
Do you deserve it?
I see your face,
haunting me.
Living in my dreams
And in my nightmares.
Making me feel.
Making my soul cry for release.
Why do you taunt me so?
Why do I allow you to?

Fear Rules the World
As I lay upon my bed, I wonder
I wonder about my life and my death and of what will happen when Im gone.
I hope in vain that before I die they find a way to make us immortal, then I realise.
I realise that everybody must die, for if there were no death the human race would not evolve, they would not learn the basic emotions of loss, regret, hope and love.
These things are important even though we do not like some of them, without them we would not be what we are.
We would become a bored and uninventive race, for if there was no death, we would not need doctors or houses or any of the modern conveniences we have.
Death is the root
A Prayer for You by Gabriels-Darkchild, literature
Literature
A Prayer for You
A prayer for you
I hope that all the choices you make in this life are wrong
I wish you the worst possible pain imaginable for the duration of what I hope will be a long and lonely life
Nothing but painful experiences and hurtful things
I mean you no harm
But if you can survive and flourish against all the odds then maybe in our next life we can be together, you may have the strength to deal with a soul as tainted and vicious as mine
If not then you will be wishing these same things on another
Newfound happiness.
Brimming with new emotions.
Joy, Love, Passion.
Being afraid of doing the wrong thing again
No longer complacent in all things that you do.
Such a complete change from the old dreary life.
Trying new things, experiencing new feelings.
A fresh start.
The first touch, a gentle caress of the skin so adored, fingers afraid to linger for any length of time for fear of being noticed and rejected.
A gentle assurance, approval, the heart flutters with joy and trepidation.
Longer, lingering touch, a tender kiss, nothing more than an alighting of the lips on that soft smooth skin.
The embrace, pulling of two bodies close together, trying to hold on to that warmth for as long as possible.
Grasping, clutching, the first stirrings of true emotions begin to run rampant throughout.
Sweating, clinging, refusal to let go, afraid that this may be the last chance to be this close.
Letting go.
The h
It is hard to believe that a single moment can make so much difference in a life, but it can.
One moments indecision can completely change the outcome of years of effort and work. A fraction of a second in a ten or twenty year period seems to make everything sort of pointless. Why should I bother to work towards happiness and fulfillment if all it takes to screw it all up is thirty seconds worth of stupidity, one lapse in self control, or a single misjudged action? Maybe we arent meant to try. Maybe my old philosophy is right and life should be lived in the day, for the day with no forethought for the future. But this is jus
Missing you,
Waiting impatiently in the corner for a glimpse of you.
Hoping beyond hope that youll be walking toward me when I turn the next corner.
Missing you because youre never there.
Imagine a world with no sky, no stars, no flowers or trees.
A barren place where nothing seems right.
This is the world I live in whenever I am without you.
Now, imagine a world of eternal sunsets, flowers for carpet, where everything is perfect.
This is the world I will create for you, a perfect place,
Where sadness cannot reach you.
A safe and happy place for you in the shelter of my love.
I see your face,
haunting me.
Living in my dreams
And in my nightmares.
Making me feel.
Making my soul cry for release.
Why do you taunt me so?
Why do I allow you to?
