Thoughts.

Postby altiora » Mon Jul 01, 2013 11:15 am

I need to edit this one more time, then I think it will be acceptable. I don't like it though. Too busy. Hair was meant to seem wet but it is just messed up. Don't get me started on the wings.
It's based on one of a million thought tracks I have a day (I really wish I could draw/write/remember all of them) and was memorable. Anyway, I was doing a poem for it. Please excuse me if it is rubbish. :oops:

A shining river of molten silver,
A chaotic pattern of flowers gold,
A slight breeze against grey monotone,
No anxiety with the cold.

Bright white light, yet shining dimly,
Seeing flying doves of ribbon shadows and light,
Beautiful quiet, cluttered thoughts,
Alone with shallow joys and woes,

The storm of serenity softly batters,
Against breaking barriers of tears,
Look into the river, see nothing but glittering sky,
Fall down onto grass where mangled dew and rain lie.

Will this feeling wear down?
Fluttering grass holds my tears.
I feel so confused, longing and desiring,
Hating, awakening, tiring.

'How could you do such things?'
'How can I be, why do I see so much?'
Questions trapped and locked in lock and key,
'Seeing and feeling, why can't I just be?'

But such is the way of the world,
And as creative and imaginative forces collide,
Truths blur and struggles fight over hopes that long ago died,
Struggles those young bear, screaming for a guide.

So seasons pass, clouds shadows go overhead,
The sweet dove rests her head upon golden flowers,
Tears silent, past and future,
But for the present of now,

She opens her eyes sorrowfully,
Into her fake world of the lying whole,
Which for once in her life,
Saw into beauty of the broken soul.


It is also a bit of a vent. A vent overdue for a long time. Bah. I don't like this post... :?

I enter the fields and spacious halls of memory, where are
stored the countless images that have been brought into them
from all manner of things by the senses. There, in the memory,
is stored what we cogitate, either by enlarging or reducing our
perceptions, or by altering one way or another those things
which the senses have made contact with; and everything else
that has been entrusted to it and stored up in it, and which
oblivion has not yet swallowed up and buried. "

HOW DID THIS.
WHOA.

This is stunning. Like.
Can I live here?
Image
Deep in the woods,
In a world of our making.
Lost in each other,
No sense of forsaking.
A simple feel like any other,
Without any room to pretend as another.
But losing our footing on a wire of briers,
Binding and prying in loosening desires,
That not even the strength of
the strongest of motions,
Could calm this tide
Of rising commotions.
Drowning in sinners and falsified thoughts,
With feelings of malice, detachment and loss.
Swimming in circles around the drain,
Sucking the life from every vein.
Draining the soul and leaving it lost...
How much falling till you're finally caught?
And get back to the place your eyes have sought?

Haha, Well I did construct it in my mind to a world of peace and such or something... I'm not sure, but it was meant to be a beautiful world so I am glad I got that across. Thanks for the quick reply! Thats the quickest I have ever got a reply :)

Well this is gorgeous. Like. It seems like even though it's beautiful, something can ruin it. But even the rain looks peaceful cx And the poem is gorgeous. You're really, really good at this. Why aren't you in Intermediate?

WELL YOU DESERVE QUICKER.

Thank you! I guess I am too anxious. I occasionally get very worried about what people say. I shouldn't but ehh. I was very reluctant to post it. Even more reluctant to look at your first comment to see what you said, but I forced myself to look and I am very glad I did! I
