That quiet moment,
in the midst of a dreary night, when the rain abates for only a short period,
the clouds scatter lightly,
and the full moon fills the sky gently cloaked in a misty coat.
Letting her light spill across the landscape,
with nigh to be heard but the remnant drips of the weather before.
In the stillness, under her cascade,
with a sharp intake of icy air,
can I feel her serene calm wash across my minuscule form,

The Unticking Clock
There is no understanding.
No alignment,
no fitting.
These cogs do not mesh.
How can so much arrogance,
and self importance,
stain the pages of our lives?
You take, and claim to give.
But never have my empty hands trembled more.
I should hate, equate you to the mud.
The mud we tread through.
The mud on my face.
The mud on your soul.
These cogs do not mesh.
What has been accomplished,
was little more
than setting fire to my world.
Offer me the water,
then pour it on the ground.
No one was more blind then me,
and still, I trample on.
Through the mud,
Through the fire.
Past your water.
There is no understanding.
No alignment,
no fitting.
'Have you ever wondered'...
The lyrics catch my ear.
Haven't we all?
All the possible realities..
if I said what was on my mind,
if I was honest,
if I had reached my hand out.
But not all of these are good..
if I had lied,
if I had been more selfish,
if I had put me first.
We are not always what we want to be,
and sometimes we desire nothing
other than to be our worst selves.
But we can't all do that..
Action reaps consequence
Even when we strive for good,
the bad can come barreling in.
Where can we draw that line?
How can we even see it..
Such a thing so easily crossed.
So yes,
I suppose I can answer my song..
Because I have wondered,
and al
Your smile makes me want to giggle,
your grin makes me absolutely giddy.
When I fear I have done wrong by you,
the shame and regret flood my eyes faster than my tears.
Even when I'm grumpy,
and you are well
I can never stay upset too long,
because first off,
you don't deserve that.
And for two,
because you make me happy.
You are right,
sometimes I do put myself in a box,
and sometimes I make myself miserable.
But then I look at you,
and I pull my shit together.
I love you for a lot of reason,
even your faults are something I love about you,
but the reason you are my riduur, my husband,
is because you make me a better me.
I will fall, I will
Four walls,
blank and plain.
Two more,
above and below.
Where I am kept.
In my box.
Not permitted,
this is my domain.
No more,
no less.
There is only
room for me.
In my box.
Perhaps,
I could leave.
Could tear down,
and escape.
But I am kept here.
Behind this,
invisible glass.
I can watch,
but will remain here.
In my box.
This is my domain.

Who can make me feel a thousand times better with just a conversation?
You can
Who can take these aches and pains away and help me relax at night?
You can
Who can turn my sour moods into delicious candies of joy and giggles?
You can
In all of my life, I have never met someone who can do what you do, with a simple conversation, suggestion, or action. I can tell you I am having a rough day and just be rather burnt out, and instead of saying sorry and moving on, you ask me why, and make me laugh and smile about it. When I mention my neck or back pains you sound genuinely sad I have them, and I can feel the sincerity when you say you wish y

Challange Piece From Skittlesxpirate.
Have you ever heard the tale of the grim Techromancer and the Level 2 Crazypants? Well you have come to the right place my friend. Take a seat, have a drink, and let me tell you the story.
The light glances off the cold streets, moon light casting shadows fit to scare even monsters of the night. There they stand, underneath a lamp post, hands intertwined, gazing into each other’s eyes. But let us not get a head of our selves, because this is the big finish.
It all started a few zones back, the High level Techromancer was back farming for his matts needed to make his minion bots. Getting board of actively farming for minerals, he built

Midnight thoughts about Love and Romance.
What if I told you that I don’t believe in fairytales?
None of that nonsense about finding your perfect true love while on some grand quest.
Would you believe me?
GOOD. I wouldn’t believe me either.
I full heartedly believe that love should be committed in grand acts of crazy stupid actions and reactions.
If you cannot go that extra mile for your woman you claim to love and blow her mind just for the hell of it, you are not trying hard enough.
Love is going on romantic walks, surprise pickups for dates, those random acts that seem almost nonsensical, but mean everything in the world to the two of you.
Love is taking her by the han
I've noticed with much of my art, there are always certain pieces that I absolutely love and can't figure out how I did them.. And then I look at the rest of the painting..
Hahaha, but I'm still learning.
You will be home soon,
but i miss you.
No song can comfort,
no food can fulfill.
And the bed is much too lumpy,
when your side is still.
So I write,
and I wait,
to hear your key in the door.
Until then time will trickle,
like rain drops to the floor.
There are no words left,
nothing for me to devour,
to feel,
to love.
There is nothing left..
I'm waiting for you to pick up the pencil,
show me how you feel,
and appease my ravenous soul.
