Writer Friends Challenge—Day Thirteen

If this image doesn’t give you an idea, today’s topic is theme songs!

Do my main characters have a theme song?

You know, my taste in music tends to run more classic rock, show tunes, and movie soundtracks rather than current pop music, so it’s hard for me to come up with a relevant known song to describe my characters. It’s also really difficult for me to come up with playlists for my stories.

That being said…for some reason, whenever I think of the Hero for my current WIP, the only thing running through my head is the theme from Bonanza. Yes, that 1960s TV show about ranchers.

Maybe it’s because Gideon Hunt, my current hero, wants to be a rancher. He has recently arrived in Southern California after seeing ads in the newspaper, and dreams of walking acres of land in the sunshine and not having to deal with snow. 😆

If you had a theme song, what would it be?

I should have known when I looked into your eyes. I could sense the mourning coming and the beginning of a nightmare as you turned away. Victims of the storm as barbarians attacked the gate. You hurried past a memory as the sun burned the soulless kisses that I laid upon your burgeoning grave. The roses began to wither away as the sky began to turn to gray. The cold broke my skin as cracks formed on my bones while you sang a song and hummed the madness in my heart away. Ice upon the ground and your hand upon my hand. I said goodbye and wished to die and switch places of where I was and you were going.

I awoke to find myself bathed in sweat and full of sin for what I'd dreamt. Who would have thought it not a dream but a premonition of days to come and the hollow that I've become since you've been away. An empty tomb inside my soul that used to be filled with all your love and every better part of me.

It's not the lover that wins matters

Rather it's the love that fights.

[semjase]

I've always felt you

in every way a soul

can be felt, thus I

know what if feels like

to be misunderstood

in every way.

[fakesurprise]

sky licked emerald every cloud an unseen cow tongue we slipped through a corpse of trees everything frozen in white

behind the city stretched the development like a sin a forest reduced to the plains not a valley to be seen but one hill remained and we were chocolate-bold hot with marshmallows

there was a door that wasn’t a smile pretending to be Aunt Lucile but was Uncle Jax who no one left us around alone like something caged in an unseen zoo

the voice welcomed us into the hinterland beautiful like storms but nothing like rainbows and some small part of whispered days had it not been the weekend there were gods that would have protected us

“Saturn does not care for you,” she said understanding – those eyes always did – and there was music further in the beat matching paces with our hearts and you turned and one of us said run but we were too far from the city from the safety from the world we knew

and the queen said, ‘you need not worry’ and two others left with our faces (we did worry but we did not understand could not understand and we made stories and poems because she was old and power but could create nothing of her own)

and one day the way home was gone and the queen had a shadowed frown and the stories could no longer save us everything we see we cannot unsee somewhere the sky licked deep brown-grey of pollution and I would have given anything to see that again

but we had given too much to remain here by her side

[cruxymox]

you, oh sorceress, you have

everything but

you feel loss for the basket of flowers swinging

carelessly in the wind of autumn

you miss the snap of the twig, dry in your fingers

& this is a lamentation for having been smaller

another child in the mystery of the world

& it was a field of magic

but everything you have, sorceress

oh you

Here in isolation, in quarantine, I find myself happy. No more deadlines, running for bosses, listening to backstabbers, just you and me. I am sorry but I am happy. I shouldn't be but hell I needed this. I needed time- to breathe, to sleep. This constant race of who's having the good-est times is finally over- everyone's home, I can finally be myself.

I am not made for someone to just spend their lives with but rather I was made to live life with.

I was made for someone to find peace in me.

I was made for someone to share all their pain.

I was made for someone to write poetry about.

So if you are searching for someone to just spend times with you are in the wrong place cause I am someone to live life with.

[semjase]

To an entire mind

drifting in space,

the whole universe

surrenders in peace.
