Sunflowers by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

Sunflowers

We are like lone sunflowers bowing in the wind... Always just a turn behind from facing happiness, Tracking its evaporative footsteps, Across the grey plains of life Face in the sky blinding ourselves from what we don't want to see letting the rain cleanse and quench us Yet as it feeds, it kills with dissolved toxins Life is full of irony... Our roots tangle and for a time love blooms... We pollinate each other's worlds with joy No longer turning our faces to catch what we can't Now the butterflies come to us, but pollination is just a fickle season

Pieces of Peace by VanillaEnigma, literature

Vibrancy by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

Vibrancy

sunlight hits a glass, filled with the raindrops of a sky that's cried the tears of cleansing the wind before a storm, alive with the prophecy of lightning and thunder the prickly itch of fresh green grass beneath your head, blinded by dappled sunlight the sweat of a hard climb, to the crest of a mountain, where the hills roll misty blue far yonder the adrenaline, unstoppable smile, that breaks against the face the unspeakable knowing of a rhythm intrinsic soulfully, otherworldly - moving your feet being Alive.

The Awaiting Madness by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

The Awaiting Madness

I hear them now Scratching at the lock Trembling fingers Tantalizing the taste of my fear in anticipation I have emerged momentarily from the worlds that hold me sane to gaze upon the darkened rooms, locked doors and shadowed landscapes of my mind... and, like always, I am afraid

Red Bird by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

Red Bird

And so the red bird shall sing... As sweet and as shrill as the chill in your heart That same chill which keeps you awake in the nights That same chill which reminds you you're alive And so the red bird shall fly... As far and as high as your wings will never take you To the places you imagine freedom perches To the places you imagine tranquility awaits Recall the sadness behind your mind to the back of the veil behind your eyes; Let the sorrow find the tears you have hidden amongst your thoughts and let it wash the joys of now into the past, Find the fear .now. Sharp, fresh and new Feel it sting between your teeth,,, As real as

Dedication to Shiva by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

Dedication to Shiva

Awaken the free spirit within: Perhaps today, Perhaps tomorrow, Perhaps when the birds will sing for you... The day when the trees will cry Colours and Scents For the insects to go wild In Out Round and about Exploring the cavernous world of the human soul And living like the smile on your face, The laughter in your hair, The wind between your wings of thought and presence... Set me free... I will find you once again...

The Cycle by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

The Cycle

Lazy school days rolling out before us seemingly endless and boundless filled with old and new; Though while we're all caught in the system we're all wanting it to end, these drab infinite days filled with nothing on both ends; Then all of a sudden the cog wheels stop. and Now we must get out. suddenly we don't want to leave the precious temple of our childhood; But when the old move out to find the new and the new move in to adjust to the old, all of it is unwanted (yet embraced) change, and inevitably the cycle continues again.

Purpose by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

Purpose

To find inspiration in a paper cup, A sense of humour on a plastic bag, Creativity beside a bus stop, And understanding beneath a mistletoe… Searching for purpose will drive you mad, Creating your own will keep you sane; Solving life’s riddles along unexpected pathways Is perhaps the key to knowing… Some believe they are the oracles While unassuming sages drift among us, Imbuing the ordinary with hope; Those showy oracles know nothing. Interpretation and opinion is subjective, There is no statistic who knows the wiser; Small and hopelessly insignificant There is nothing more to do; keep on living.

Unexpected by VanillaEnigma, literature

Literature

Unexpected

A moment of uncontrolled decay, Something unexpected falls off... Their faces drop, And I'm left all alone... No one knows how to deal with a beast they've never seen before, One with holes of magnetic black, Festering wounds with heads of teeth, Chasms of rotting spirit hanging off its very frame; A frightening thing has been growing in the dark, Slithering behind shallow eye sockets, Seeing what you see, Hearing what you hear... Beware the actor of love and hope, Compensating for internal disintegration; Shells sound of the ocean if you listen, A moving corpse sounds of nothing but despair.

Of poerty slams, dancing and production design

0 min read

I've been in and out of youtube these past few weeks eating up every bit of dance video I could find. Three days ago I began youtubing poetry slams and have had my mind blown open the power of the spoken form. Such powerful speakers with charisma and heart tell the stories of their words and give your chilling goosebumps. I love it. I admire it. I covet it. I've also been watching Game of Thrones the TV series. I've become a huge fan. Have been youtubing various Game of Thrones things as well. One such video credited their production designer Gemma. I forget her last name. It is a fantasy world which she creates visually. As I thought about

Alright so I'm back again from the outer limits. I seem to be the type of person who takes hiatus from my various regular forum haunts quite often. I apologize to those of you who care for my deviations. Thank you for your patience with me and I promise to bring cookies and Marvel comics next time I come back. This time I have two long months stretching ahead of me with no prospect of life filling up with anything expected. I just completed my high school education and will be adjourning to university next year. I am quite excited at the prospect of a brand new   f r e s h    start. I cannot wait to start again, anew, and recreate my world a
