Words

[bladez234]

A few words can have profound effects on the mind.

I can say that I am sitting in a dark, quiet place, the interior of a cave with waves lapping at the mouth.
And then the crackling of a fire to stay warm, its light cheerily dancing on the walls, the shadows telling a story.

Or I could say that I am staring at the towering clouds of a storm. Taunting it. Wanting it to come for me. Wanting the heavens to explode in light and noise and rain to consume me.

Or I could be standing at a gate, the aged keeper extending his hand for tribute, so that I may speak to the wise one located beyond.

Or I could just say this: slow, peace, calm. And leave you with that

All I need to say is Steve McQueen

 

[Thalassa]

How about...

the dark recesses of my mind ruminate on unspeakable thoughts
thoughts to be shared with nobody
nobody mattering

a maelstrom of wishes, hopes and regrets
regrets darker than a moonless night
a night that ought to have been remembered

for remembrance fails
when we seek it the most
fails in its accuracy, its power, its meaning

meaning that we seek
every moment every day every every every
so... what can I say...

except... fuck it?

I like the word Moxy. How it sounds and the meaning.
