Drabble

This is a story much alike to many others. It is like stories where the celestial bodies are fruit, reality was sung into place, and the world lies on the backs of four elephants and a turtle. It is like stories where a mother's love can vanish evil, where hearth and family can burn away corruption. Where spirits are bound in chalk circles, fairies help scribe a field guide, young boys ride dragons, and young girls slay evil with a mighty sword. It is a story where the impossible is real, among the many worlds beyond the veil of possibility. It is a story about magic, like many but perhaps unlike any other. It is your story. Turn the page and find out what happens next.

Quartizine

Chandelier memories And crystal goblet daydreams I wonder how I wander Looking for a place I have never known And I can't touch the hazy horizon That dreamy sunlit maze As golden rays go on for days I can't do what it takes When chandeliers come crashing down And my heart of Quartz just breaks Ticking clocks, stopwatch talks And Ruby tears to dust No I do not Know Such stillness sings on diamond rings And I can't touch the misty morning That painful moonlit story As silver beams light up my dreams I can't do what it takes When copper clocks can't help but stop And my heart of Quartz just breaks When I'm left with pieces And dust is left to dust I play a round and look around I'm so much more that what I've known And I'll reach for the studded stars That iron will go far I'll forge my dreams in memories I will do what it takes When broken cries light up the sky When my heart of Quartz just breaks

Midnight

Soft shadows drop tears upon dry soil tonight You cry so they cry and hold on The moon hopes that you'll all be alright And the stars will sing you a song

Hey everyone!

Eggshell Cream

I've never seen a purer white Than perhaps an eggshell cream So many say theirs is more white They argue theirs is more clean Others say there's shades of gray Descent to murky abyss Something's not right, I say in spite Or I would be remiss Why search for perfect white When it cannot be found I find Adding color, an Eggshell Cream Instead gives peace of mind No need I say to abide by gray When there's cream, orange, and lavender blue While you may never ascend to a perfect ten You can be magnificent colors too

Summer

Gold Dew Bright New Red Leaves Green Bees So much is seen, so much is done Underneath the golden summer sun

Silence

Music is the silence between notes The dark between the stars The space between hello and goodbye

Sunshine

The sunshine is too bright, too loud I would rather sit in the shade By twinkling waters and starry skies From which gossamer dreams are made

You: The hard sciences and the humanities are fundamentally incompatible fields of study.

Me, an intellectual: Computer science is applied epistemology.

Angels and Demons

Everyone has their personal demons; that much is known and oft repeated. But why do we not speak of our personal angels? Not guardian angels, external forces that shield us. But the counterpart to those internal forces that drive us to ruin? That inner seraph that leads the charge in a battle against depression, flaming sword posed to strike. That inner Cherubim, with which we cast away the darkness enshrouding those we love. That inner Ophanim, which carries us even when our mortal strength has failed us and our journey is not over. We are complex beings, and for every personal demon of pain and panic, void and rage; there is a personal angel of courage and power, kindness and wisdom. Perhaps we should stop focusing on battling our demons when we could be nurturing our little angels to carry us when we need them.

Me, up at some unholy hour: Time is an illusion fuck the sun I make my own rules

Me, seeing one of my friends up at the same hour: What do you think you are doing??? How dare you?? Treat yourself this way?? You get into bed right this instant and get eight hours of sleep or I will find you.

Object: *exists*

My autistic ass: MMMmmm chew it? Put it in my mouth. Crunch and munch?

Ho Hum

Ho hum the sun is to bright Ho hum the world is too loud Too rough Sharp And sour Still I will lay here and smile For the horizon is far and shady lands await Soon I will cross that bridge ahead
