A Little Light

"What makes night within us may leave stars."

~Victor Hugo~

Un-ique ?

Have you always known you were a writer? 

I have always felt inadequate in my writing.
Unsure of what I was doing;
Unsure of what to do next.
Unable to determine who I was and how I wanted to be perceived.
I felt my words were unbelievable;
My nightmares unimaginable.
My goals unattainable.

And then one day, I woke up, looked around and said Fuck It.
I started to own who I was and who I am.
I embraced my nightmares;
Began honing my skills;
I owned up to my realities.

Now, this is me.
This is my work.
This is what I love to do.
And I hope you're enjoying the ride, Creepsters.
I know I am.

The Nameless Thing of Berkeley Square

The following is a detailed history of this legendary creature.
The clip is a bit longer than most videos I post, but after viewing a number of them on the topic, this is ~by far~ the best and most informative.

It is worth the 15 minutes, if you seek the truth.  Or should we chalk it up to BS?
Let me know your views.  Post your comments below.
(And thanks, Travis for bringing this one to my attention.)

A Quiet Conversation

I've come to talk with you again."

Safe and Sound

I cried my intentions to the sky.
It laughed with thunder and mocked me with lightning;
It turned the sun into night and rained down blood upon me;

And I ran all the way home.
Not because I thought it was safe there ~ because it wasn't ~
not with all of the anger and darkness which wells up within the night ~
but because it had walls and windows.
A door I could lock;
A blind I could close;
A corner I could cower in.
And here I could hide ~
Hide from the blood;
The nightmares;
The fear.

Or so I tell myself.

And still I sit here
With my rosary and my prayer;
With my false hope
and my candle;
I sit and I wait...
Wait for the shadows to come and snuff out my light.

Study the Enemy

"You can't stand up to the night 

until you understand what's hiding in its shadows."
