Lament not

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

What if I roll back these pages
See through the mists of the ages
On stories the memories can't tell

Lament not what passed through the fingers
Arresting the scene here to linger
Unsoured by heart's staining shell

If I could but live there forever
No thought for the pain here and after
Holding the truths not to quell

I'd never again live in anguish
Alone in my thoughts left to languish
Remembering just the farewell

Thank you to all my friends and especially those I do not know who have show such great support to my work. You all inspire me.

Critiques

No Fury...The creature hissed, spat, growled, roared, and made every sound possible to express its rage. And no wonder; it was a creature of pure rage, of instinct and primality, an outlet for every animalistic impulse that humanity told itself it had excised, but truly lay under the skin-deep layer of civility they cultivated on themselves.

If anything, the beasts classified as Chalkurites were caricatures of humanity. Ironic, then, that they looked like nothing from Earth--semi-translucent blue vortexes of anger and destruction, the general lot of them were, things to be feared not just for their power, but for their contagiousness. For if any human

Her Living Corpse"Here to see Alley again?" The old woman perched behind the reception desk asks me. I nod, and she types something in her computer. "Someone will be here to take you to her room in a moment," she tells me. I sit down in one of the plush cushions. Sorrow blossoms in my chest as I remember our last meeting the day before. How she wouldn't respond except to nod and shake her head.
"Jason?" I look up to see one of the clinic nurses gesturing towards me. "Jason, she's ready to see you now."
As I walk down the hall, I hear the panicked scream of another patient. One who may have lost her mind to the same degree as my Alley. Or maybe this one was only halfway there. I debated in my head what I would prefer if I could choose. Would I rather have the dead look I see in my best friend's eyes every day, or would I choose to see her scream at the unnamed horrors as they etch themselves in her vision.
We pass through the hallways, and as usual I wish I was anywhere but here. I miss the old da

Your writing style and story telling for this style of fiction (emotional flash fiction) was perfectly done. Flash fiction can often by...

ExplorationSoft. That was the first sensation he noticed as he awoke. The underneath wasn't hard any more. Or cold. The air around no longer prickled him with chill, but caressed him with gentle warmth. He opened his eyes and his sense of sight was assaulted by the unfamiliar. Instead of the dark, square cell he had been expecting, everything was bright, colorful--alien.

He was atop a pile of... softness. He didn't have a word for whatever it was. It was white, and light layers of it covered his body.

His body... his body was different. He frowned. He couldn't remember what his body used to be like. He just knew that it was different now. Smaller. How

As promised the rough edit versions of 1-3 have been posted. You may notice that I have disabled downloading for the pieces. This is to add security for the work and help add control on how many copies are floating around out there. Sorry in advance for any trouble that may cause for your viewing.

Tonight I will be working on chapter 4 which is done for everything but a dinner ceremony scene which I have been dreading to write about. I'm about three lines done and have been working on it for about 3 months. Tonight I plan to just hit the bottle hard and just put out what ever i can come up with. In all honesty I am not to worried about what the product will look like due to the characters that will be at this dinner. I am far from living a life in high society which is why I worry about this part, but i realize neither are the characters who are at the dinner....so I think it will all work out ok.

Once I will post the unedited copy right away for everyone to see the conclusion of the act and get a sense for where the book will be headed. Should you wish to receive more up to date edits or be able to view all content extending beyond chapter 4 please message me and I will enable restricted view /w comment rights to my google drive.

Hey, I appreciate the fave and the kind words about my poem...I am curious, though--you said you gave up reading vampire literature and watching vampire movies, may I ask why?

~Anovoca Oct 12, 2012

To set up the punchline......
