Strange swirling thoughts spin in my head and jump onto paper! 18 years young.
"What happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality breaks and the glass begins to fly?". Stephen King.
No silly, that's not a "that's what she said". It's a very short Opuss. Yeah yeah, whatever. Just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS OPUSSEERS. ⛄❄⛄❄⛄❄⛄❄⛄❄⛄❄⛄❄.

I went on a journey for calm Searching around the world I couldn't find it in the way A fresh new leaf was curled I couldn't see it in the meadows Or in the fast flowing stream It wasn't on a...
Too much going on right now. Too many things to say. Taking my mum for spine injections. Is scaring me today. I haven't posted in a bit. Except for the poem this morning.

My heart is like a lump of ice. Throbbing in my chest. Cold enough to freeze my thoughts. Numb to all, I'm blessed. You can grasp it in your hands. But needles of cold will attack.
So me and @dodged had some pieces of work published in a local anthology and we are supposed to be trying to sell copies today.
Padding along silently, I move through my realm as a ghost. Not one you see, or hear unless I choose it.

Who am I.
Pierce me through my soul. With a fragment of your tears. A shard of your broken heart. Shattered memories of the years. I'm numb inside quite clearly. When I can't feel your pain.
My soul is now a battleground A thousand armies bugles sound I wonder just who will succeed Will the light or darkness bleed.

Conviction floods my heart. Bringing a warm relief. I'm brimming with the confidence. That comes from self belief. I was clinging tightly to a ledge. Fearful of letting go.

I'm not joining in the fights I refuse to be drawn in After all, haven't you heard. In war no one wins.

Opuss is seeming slow today I'm confused as to why It's Monday Funday, where are you all You never said goodbye. Where have all the opussians gone. Why is it so quiet Is it because your all at work.
Take a look at the night sky. Far from city lights. And tell me it's not beautiful. A truly breath taking sight. Thousands of twinkling stars. Are littered across the sky. Diamonds on black velvet.
I miss you so much it pains me. Piercing to my core. But at least now your free. It's not hurting anymore. You were taken too young. Death's motives are unclear. Your life had only just begun.
So there is an epidemic Sweeping through the train Wonky Bill is shouting And smellys at it again.
I shall watch the world burn And laugh because in my heart I know that it was all my fault I perfectly played my part. I cannot wait to see this.

At the end of every day. The cracks are starting to show. Instead of being a hummingbird. I transform to a crow. I'm too hunched, aching and weary. For one as young as I. But there are some days when.

Mockingbird, mockingbird Can you hear me.
The harsh rhythym of the guns launched an ongoing staccato, as I ran down the beach. Debris was flying everywhere, not to mention the blood and bits of flesh and shards of bone.
My thoughts are green, like newly unfurled leaves, gazing for the first time upon the wonders of early spring.

So it's sunny outside, and definitely what you would say is glorious weather. Summer to me though is not just about how many degrees in the shade it is, or how blue the sky is.
Today's a special day for me Its my two week Opuss-versary.
Can you take a message for me.
