The world holds its breath,
as she exhales in a barrage of words.
Page for page,
she’s got you pinned to a description
that is anything but right
to anyone but her,
wrangling in your whirlwind personality
with a handful of stray syllables.
She’s dreaming again,
of a place not so far distant,
in a past not so far gone,
or maybe just a future not yet forgiven.
Writing you out
because she can’t keep still
when the words are all
trapped inside.
the edge of everything
April 29th will mark one year for me on Ficlets.
I have sworn to uphold the values of the League of Awesomess. I shall hereby be known as Pens: Wearer of the Green Hat of Awesomeness. :]
So I love winter, but summer’s my season. Aimless driving, summer music, open windows, sunglasses, and thunderstorms seem to renew me. Late nights and lots of inspiration. Yeah, summer’s my season.
I’m looking forward to the prospect of beginning college in the fall, which is a little scary and a lot exciting.
And all at once, the crowd begins to sing.
Sometimes the hardest thing
and the right thing
are the same.
all at once : the fray
