| Echoes of Whispers |
Aug 2, 2007 2:51 am
Mood: Doomed, 1576 Views |  | ECHOES OF WHISPERS
Caught in the echoes of whispers
and lost in the dark before dawn,
she knelt with her hands clasped together
and prayed that the demon be gone.
Bitter coldness assaulted her body,
her fingers and toes feeling numb,
but closing her eyes, she ignored them
for the day of her downfall had come.
Everything now seemed so futile
while the voice in the air spoke of fear.
She opened her heart for forgiveness
and hoped that salvation was near.
But His breath was close to her neck,
and His words creeping into her mind.
He offered a cruel invitation,
if she’d leave redemption behind.
Guilt was her only protection
from the demon stoking her skin
and she longed for the strength of conviction,
to stop herself giving in.
He persisted with his dark seduction
while she shivered with the cold.
But His words full of tempting suggestions
had already begun to take hold.
Caught in the echoes of whispers,
with dark giving way to the dawn,
she regretted her crime of passion
and wished that she knew how to mourn.
Then she opened her arms to the demon
and He set about taking her soul.
Salvation was never an option
so she’d pay for the life she stole.

| The recent fire |
Aug 1, 2007 2:55 am
Mood: Nosey, 1607 Views |  | I mentioned on another of my other blog posts about one of my neighbours house going up in flames.
I've posted a picture of the aftermath. The fire brigade was still there at the time. They had 3 engines out to tackle the blaze.
It looks terrible. The house was gutted and the fire also traveled along under the eaves of the house to its next door neighbour.
It turns out that both the families affected were away on holiday at the time, so thankfully, no one was hurt.
The photo is taken from my kitchen window. |

| I Bruise Easily |
Jul 30, 2007 4:26 am
839 Views |  | I BRUISE EASILY
Lyrics
Natasha Bedingfield
My skin is like a map
of where my heart has been
And i cant hide the marks
its not a negative thing
So i let my guard down
drop my defences down by my clothes
i'm learning to fall
with no safety net to cushion the blow
I bruise easily
so be gentle when u handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Cant stratch the surface
without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily
I found you fingerprints
on a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
all over this heart of mine too
But if i never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
with no safety net to cushion the blow
[Chorus]
Anyone wo can touch you
can hurt you or heal u
Anyone who can reach you
can love you or leave u
So be gentle...
[Chorus]
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

| Don't Listen |
Jul 27, 2007 2:22 am
Mood: Wordless, 907 Views |  | DON’T LISTEN
With a dirge of crumpled notes falling
You crash where you don’t belong
Untidy on the sinking floor
Like a requiem cut short
And there you lie, uncouth
Untouched
Calling out the menace
Of another verse
As you scream to
Steal pendulous rhythms
From wordless eyes
There is madness in your mantra
It echoes of long dreams in dark depths
Scavenged from a skulking chasm
Where the rasping parchment guards your
Shroud of devious craft
And as you inch below the surface
Crowing to be heard
I wish for all the wishes of the world…
And yet still
I cannot allow you
To sink

| I have the power |
Jul 18, 2007 3:12 am
Mood: Powerful, 976 Views |  | The electrician turned up yesterday afternoon and started working on the wiring for this room. Yay
This morning all the sockets have been replaced and I have oodles of working power 
So far, everything is going fine and the ongoing problem I had with the computer router seems to have stopped. (The power kept cutting out every few minutes, which meant the internet would disconnect)
I was never sure if it was the router at fault or if it was the electricity supply. So please keep your fingers, toes and eyes crossed for me that I keep the power of the net 
Have a wonderful day everyone |

| The Last Crusade |
Jul 15, 2007 8:36 am
Mood: courageous, 945 Views |  | THE LAST CRUSADE
Fear became the last crusade,
beneath a trembling light.
Where blindness stared
and almost saw
the dark beyond the bright.
But the carnival
laid down its tents
in honoured fields of might
And grand with scents
it spread its maw
and showed its teeth of white
The tolls we scared
so hearts gave way
to a fusion of delight,
where clowns grew bold
and stained their smiles
against the myriad night.
And many knew the mystery,
which dragged
our souls to fight.
But none could leave
without the hope
from a pedestal
of light.

| My Oomph is broken |

Mood: tired, 1653 Views |  | DAMP SQUIB
These words won’t start with a bang.
You see, I’ve lost my oomphability,
run foul of the fierce fireworks
that swoosh skywards to delight.
These words can’t fly
can’t walk on water
can’t drink you dry
or end in uproar.
But they can
fizzle
out
Muse2u
I'm about to fizzle out too, zzzzzzzzzzz
Nite all |
