A World of Connections
Wide open spaces,
From mountain top to ground.
Wide open spaces;
Echo all around.
Small tiny spaces,
From seaside to thistles.
Small tiny spaces;
Whispers and whistles.
In the darkest night oft times there is the deepest pain.
Pain felt where none can see;
Echoing, rising, drifting, within you and me.
Darkness paints our sadness unbearable,
Our pain unutterable.
Stars light upon troubles and glint dully upon the too dark mass.
The moon shines on the ocean,
Shining weakly against the troubled waters.
Yet hope remains,
No matter that the deepest night holds the darkest pain.
Fears and worries are seen again.
By the light of the stars,

By the light of the stars,
The light on the dark,
the dark on the light,
much like a star on the hidden night.
Shining bright,
but placing darkness before it.
You cannot hide what is much too bright.
Why try to cover what cannot be covered?
Why try to hide what cannot be hidden?
What do you fear?
The light emphasizes the dark and the darkness the light.
Hand in hand,
illuminating each other's color.

Heart Attack -or- Attack of the Heart
I let you go without telling you what you probably don't want to hear.
The first month was painful.
All I could think of was you.
I wondered what you were doing.
I wondered if you made friends.
I wondered if you were adjusting,
and setting new trends.
The second month was wistful.
All I could think of was you.
I longed to see your face.
I longed to see your smile.
Even though you tease me mercelessly,
I wanted to hear your voice.
The third month was peaceful.
I became caught up in myself.
I became ill,
Too ill to even live out my simplistic life.
I have drifted and settled into my well-worn pattern
of sleeping and pain and d

Thoughts on a Tangent
So many questions, so many fears.
Day after day, tear after tear.
Heart pounding joy, heart stopping terror.
One day soon, maybe an answer?
Poked and prodded, tested and tested.
Soon...they have to find "it" and best it.
Right?
I can't live life like this forever, and I am not about to try.
Not a day goes by that I don't cry.
I think of my life and I know I've spent it poorly.
Although my last few years I would trade nothing but God's glory.
His grace saved me and through Him I am known.
This, my friends, is the life that I have sown.
So when you think of me, please do not pity or worry.
Think of the joy and the Lord's glory!!!!
Take a look into my jaded eyes
finally free from this disguise.
Tell me you can't see
every word you've said to me.
Eyes eager to tell a story untold
matching yours and gazes hold.
Welling depths of sadness
drowning despite the madness.
When you can't breathe
my eyes draw you in to me.
When I can't breathe
you whisper, "Run in to me."
[Come closer]
[and closer]
Blackened eyelashes shiver
as lips begin to quiver.
A tear wells in eyes so haunted
that without the mask no one could have wanted.
With the mask no one could have thought
an untold story could be fought.
Without the disguise
suddenly you can see my eyes.
The tear
Let me draw you a picture,
a picture of my heart.
It's big, warm, and fuzzy,
it sets me apart.
Let me draw you a picture,
a picture of my heart.
Everyone I meet
is sure to take a part.
My heart,
oh my heart,
it is a redeeming art.
Warm and welcoming,
hearts show our love.
Look at this heart,
so big and comfy.
This person welcomes everyone
and fits them like a glove.
Look at this heart,
so small and cold.
This person has been neglected
and left to grow old.
Look at this stranger,
randomly passing by.
Their heart smiles
and offers a glance inside.
A cold heart is drawn to the warmth
being offered.
It smiles,
just onc
When I go online,
There's one name I search for.
When I go to sleep,
Your face is what I see.
I dream of what has been
and what might be.
I dream of a future
of you and me.
Tinged through them all,
is infinite sorrow.
Sorrow and heartache
knowing "we" can never be.
"We" is not a word I will see
written between you
and me.
Despite this,
my heart pounds for you.
When I see you smile
my heart smiles.
When you are sad,
my heart yearns to fix it.
I want to protect you.
I want to guard your heart.
No matter where you are
I think of you
and wonder
Is anybody out there
out in the cold?
Is anybody out there,
fighting alone?
When you feel,
do you heal?
Or does the pain
just take you away?
Things are accumulating,
Things you can't believe
are happening to you and me.
For years you've been running,
Running full speed.
For years you've been running,
for what, can you see?
You've stopped maybe once,
not long enough to heed.
You've stopped just enough,
to give a flower to me.
Now that you can't run,
Your life put on hold.
Now that you can't run,
Your mind growing mold.
What will you do?
You exercise your mind
unseen for years.
Your body lies dormant
wrapped up in

History keeps repeating itself
Every single night
I said to myself
I finally found
The perfect man himself
But I realized
Someday it would be gone
Youll stop being
Perfect and go wrong
Ooh I feel it
History keeps repeating itself
But now Im prepared
To stop this time loop
And I know it
History will haunt me forever
But I know Im strong
Enough to hold on
Every vibe I felt
Kept calling loudly to me
That I didnt find
With whom Im meant to be
But I realized
Before it would break me so
Im so high
And hes miles below
And I feel it
History keeps repeating itself
But now Im prepared
To stop this time loop

...It's This That Keeps Me
Your speech cracked and crumbled as it would
if my tongue carved these words across your soul
These hands were the bracers, bringing in
thoughts that you held when you were stable
flowed in like a dam break
tsunamis over hilltops
crushing ex-lovers in their wake
When we were caressed by the vermont wind
as bells in spring, our love echoed in the air
it wasn't my intention to reach for the static
lives others lived when they only knew
the dirt beneath their feet
the flowers wilting slowly
in shadows of neighbourhood factories
I held you like a parasol, and you
flew into the wind, to the roar of the lions of the sea
I once viewe
Water all around and not a drop to drink.
People all around and no one to think...
"Maybe they're lonely. Maybe they're scared. Maybe they need somebody just to be there."
Thoughts cross the mind every single night.
Tears slip into the vast ocean, barely causing a ripple.
Caring feelings and tender emotions
are like fish jumping in the ocean.
They cause ripples which spread and spread,
disturbing the peacefully smooth water.
Life is supposed to be this way - always disrupted and uneasy.
Sure there are happy periods, and even happy years.
Throughout these, though, are wrinkles and ripples.
What happens when a life has no wrinkles?
I am a "wannabe" writer, a bento enthusiast, a student, and a poor photographer. This is my journey in finding an art niche that really seems to suit me.

I guess this is the day/week for returning Deviants to break their hiatuses. Hiatus'. Hiatui? How do you pluralize 'hiatus'?! According to my spell check, it is hiatuses. But...that looks weird to me. Joining me in returning to DA (for a little bit, anyway) is the ever-talented and all around amazing friend !HalberdierMinister (https://www.deviantart.com/halberdierminister).
Hmm. Unlike the uber-friend, I truly have no excuse for why I have been away from DA for so long. I found out I have a brain tumor, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Adrenal Exhaustion. Which I suppose in some people's eyes is plenty of reason for not visiting DA...but...in reality, all this means that I have had MOR
Right.
This past week has been a very busy one for me. I have been in and out of doctors offices and testing areas. The short version of my long story is that we have discovered that I have a tumor on my pituitary. We also still have no idea why I am so dizzy. =/ So, right now my doctors are working on a plan of care/removal of said tumor and continuing to figure out what is wrong with me. (Besides the obvious mental issues. ;D)
I blame this news for my lack of deviation uploads onto my page. I apologize to anyone out there who is reading this.
Hopefully I will have some more work to post soon. I tend to just sleep a lot these days. So...I
The first 14 people to comment on this journal will get a feature from ~cloakedmortal (https://www.deviantart.com/cloakedmortal) I'll pick my three favorite deviations from your gallery and post it here.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you do comment, you're expected to do the same in your own journal; put me on the first place and comple the list with 14 other people.
Summary: 14 artists + me = 15 total. =) Yay.
The idea behind this is NOT to get a free feature, but to help spread art and artists around for everyone.
