Friday Fun
#FridayFun Crouched - in a hole, lone; death bullets circle his home. Child, stranger to calm. Fear - a common foe, That visits with every shot. Trapped, nowhere to go.

#FridayFun Crouched - in a hole, lone; death bullets circle his home. Child, stranger to calm. Fear - a common foe, That visits with every shot. Trapped, nowhere to go.
Why is a raven like a writing desk. Who knows, who cares. And would you like more tea. I'm not sure who's mad anymore, Is it you or me.
My heart sighs in-between beats,. My skin aches, misses the touch. Of your loving fingertips,. My lips wait for another kiss,. You're the one I love,. The one I always miss,.
It was just your hand, Lacerated by hatred, Envy, jealousy, A concealed weapon, But it could have been Your heart, Your life taken in a moment, And how would I have Carried on without you.
White on blue on white, Ice on water, snow on ice, As the river flows beneath, A rumbling beast, Fluff of cloud in sky of blue, Cold wind howls on by And whistles through, Bough of pine trees,...
[Sorry it's taken so long and is only short. I'm having a bit of writer's block at the moment.
A t the break of my heart there you stood; M an, myth, more, what I'd been waiting for, O ut for the count, I fell and I fell hard, U nder your gentle thumb, to the point of no R eturn; you have my...
I'll be your something borrowed, I'll be your something blue, I'll be your place to shelter When the storm has soaked you through.
I'm quietly going insane. As your words twist. Through my tangled hair,. Caress my neck with. Careless breath, with promises. So fit to break, I'm fit for. Nothing but to be held.
Your gentle words speak Love and hope and joy; Three weeks until your Unexpected and much Longed for return, Twenty-one days and then I'll wait no more, You'll be back in my arms, Where you...
.
Had it all I thought, your love, your heart, until Everything was ripped Apart. Rejected, dumped and Thrown away, Broken now, that's how I'll stay.
I can't stop sneezing, My nose drips like a tap, My head is aching, I'm feeling pretty crap. My body is tired, Eyes stinging in my head, It's only a cold but I'm wishing I were dead.
Do I love you less for time and space, For hours spent in lonely beds, Nights without your arms, without My head resting on the gentle rise And fall of your broad chest, The sound of your...
Somedays it takes all my strength just to feel alive,. If I was pulled any thinner, I don't think I'd survive,. I am just the empty hollow in between your dreams,.
J ade green water swirled with red, A nother hapless swimmer dead, W ill Brody sink or will he float. S eems he'll need a bigger boat... #acrostic.
S ilent swimmer, gliding through, at H ome beneath the deepest blue, A ttacks and ravages man and beast, R ogue predator, on all will feast, K ills, maims, swims away, to stalk an kill...
Knees tremble, eyes run, Stomach aches, it's just begun. Walk the boards, take the stage, Room is blurry, lost my page.
22. iThingies - iPad, iPod, iPhone...I'm addicted. Mainly because of Opuss, but I do waste a lot of hours on apps... 23. Buying things on eBay.
Does that long inhale of smoke Catch in your charred throat When you scowl, dark and low, Bright eyes beneath a furrowed brow, And see every line, flaw, mistake, Etched into my heart and face.
You hold my hand, And I navigate across a minefield, You hold my hand, And I levitate across the sea. You hold my hand, And I reach the summit of a mountain, I can do anything, If you are here with...
If I cried in the night, You wouldn't hear me. I stand in front of you now, Tears down my face, But you don't believe it. Everyone thinks you care, But I know different.
Some like the handsome, Some like the brave, But I like those who misbehave. Give me a coward, A weasly sneak, And I'll be happy for a week.
You go to war willingly,. Not for what you believe,. Or because it's right,. But to save yourself. From a real fight,. No idea that death will. Hold your hand for. Two years; bearing the.
Is it wrong, Ridiculous, Crazy, To fall in love With characters Who are not real.
I take you:. A flash of white and black. As discarded livery falls. To the deep-piled, carpeted floors,. The ice of your eyes. Melting, finally, twisted lips. Leaving malice behind. And speaking love.
#100things In no particular order... 1. Fantasising about better days, past or yet to come. 2. Writing; poetry, fiction, anything. Just putting the words that roam around my mind down on paper. 3.

The way you kiss a cigarette,. Caress the filter gently. Between sarcastic and cursed lips,. Smile like a knife edge,. You are as intoxicating as. The smoke you blow in waves,.
I'm full of apathy, There's an empty place in my chest Where you used to be. You've got no sympathy, I wonder if you understand Just what you've done to me.
Good morning all, here are the results of the beginning line challenge (I'm sorry they're a little late!). I had a lot of great entries and I mean it when I say I had difficulty choosing the winner.

A smile that lifts the room, Your laugh consumes, As you happily play the fool, Though your talent and intellect Are completely evident.
Chronicide;. Killing time with evil eyes. And fingers made from seconds past,. Hands sucking minutes from my life,. Face white and drained, cannot rewind,. To memories of the early hours.

You came and saw and conquered, Took me over from the start, Is it any surprise you Found yourself caught in my heart.
There's an unfairness in the world, Unfair in it's distribution, Are some lives really so perfect, Or is it an unfair illusion.
Drop the lies,. Cut all your. Lifelines, disguises,. You make me. Feel alive,. With every inch. You give,. The taste of you. Still on my lips,. I'm brand new. But seizing up. And dying a death.

When I woke up it took me a good thirty seconds to realise where I was. I was alone in the bed, but I could hear the shower running in the en-suite bathroom.

The boot of the car was small and airless, forcing my body to twist painfully into itself to fit inside the tiny space.

"You have the most amazing eyes," I said, drawn into his gaze as if hypnotised.
Walking into a packed lecture theatre ten minutes late was not my idea of fun and by Marshall's body language I sensed it was last on his list of things he wanted to do today.
The glass shattered like her broken trust when he finally slammed the door. It was never repaired. #flashfiction.
[Warning: sexual content. 16+] He was there again, sitting at the end of the bar, a half-empty glass of honey-coloured ale in one hand, a book in the other.

Waiting is half the pleasure. You said, just breathe it in,. Make the most of all you're missing,. Remember the feeling of not being. Close, of not having my lips. Pressed against your ivory skin,.
Shake me down with your golden words, Leave me gasping for more, I'm waiting for another speech To drop me to the floor.

"You're staring," he said quietly, "is that what you came for. To stare at the freak?" His voice was angry but his grey eyes were sad, disappointed almost.

Thank goodness for our King Lee, Sense he always makes us see, Without his kind words, Our fights would get absurd, And I fear Opuss would cease to be. [for @LeeLee101].

I realised about a year ago how much my happiness was tied up with yours. 2011 had been, in many ways, an awful year for you.
As I looked up to The dusted sky A shooting star Went blazing by, I wondered if You'd travelled far Just to burn up, Dear shooting star.
A new beginning,. Beginnings end,. A fresh start. To make amends,. Social construction,. Turning the page,. December to January;. A calendars revenge,. Numbers, days,. All meaningless,.
There's going to be A midnight rush On Opuss, Who can post The 'best' boring quote To make top of the day On the first of January.
I could feel the change coming; I could hold it back for a while, but it would overtake me eventually. I had learned by now that it was inevitable. If the moon was full, the change would come.
