Poetry

Ideas flicker in the dark of the mind,
Brilliant, fleeting, and
Gone.

The candle stands,
Just out of reach.
Waiting for the match.
For the spark.
For the flame.

The eternal quest for that beautiful phrase.
Frustrating, yet uplifting.
Never ending.
The end is but the beginning.
For the phrase cannot stand alone.
The candle cannot burn alone.

And so, the quest continues.

Words

A way with words is what they say, I never knew before this day. A smile upon my face when I write something I think is good, a scowl when it's not understood.

I have a special pen that I use for writing. It's a big chunky metal pen with a nice comfy grip. I use refills from a range of pens call Frixon which means I can rub stuff out with no trouble at all.

I  Opuss

There's a sweet little symbol. At Opuss's core. It's on every post. And it always gives more. It's small and it's pewter. But it can be made yellow. So brilliantly simple. Yet warming and mellow.
