The morning was a beautiful enlightenment with a cool breeze. The sun had not risen when I opened my eyes. The mist in the atmosphere outside danced among the trees. The scenery was romantic to behold, but I knew it wasn't going to last long. The blazing heat would take form and ruin it. I took it all in while I still could and was surprised to find my beloved beside me awaken. We both absorbed the dark sky and cool air. Minutes passed and the heat progressed slowly. The sultry days are dreadful and almost unbearable. As the gloomth of the morning diminished, so did I. On normal circumstances, I'm quite energetic than this. Yet today I've grown weak. As this day has progressed, so has my lack of enthusiasm unfortunately. My beloved commented that he felt the same way. I suppose it's one of those days and it will pass.
Life has seem quite interesting lately. To my surprise, I've been bumping into familair people. People I have not seen in over a decade. So many familiar faces, it's overwhelmingly nostalgic. Lately, I'm running into people almost every week, some pleasing, some quite the opposite. They all remind me of travelling back to a time forgotten. Things I've forgotten ; didn't care for. Nothing terrible ever occurred, just youthful insignificance. Yet, things changed and it was very good to see most of them again. Still, my life goes unchanged nonetheless.
As for me, life is interesting and colorful. Always something interesting occurring. Speaking of interesting...here is a little something to research for fun. If one likes to read about 'the unexplained' or the paranormal, this would interest you. I like to amuse myself by reading subjects of the paranormal. I like the entertain myself with these kinds of readings at night before bedtime. I was reading this entry in one of my paranormal books the other night and it was about an occurrance or an entity ( if you will) called a "Vardogr." It was very interesting and one might find it entertaining as well. I would recommend reading about it if this sort thing amuses you. If so, do enjoy. Until then, I'll close this entry and submit more work at a later time. Also, I will be submitting my art work as well, not to mention random photos.
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteVery insightful and nice to see you write as yourself instead of an alternative persona. Do you write about yourself looking outside to in or from inside to out? My only comment is that this seemed to be you writing about being affected and I wonder if there are moments you feel you effect others? Have you thought of asking others about the impact you've had on their lives? (hint hint)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your art, but you already know that
Take care, Friend

Hey Deb,
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that I usually write in a perspective of outside looking inward. When I write in first person, it's always as myself (unless I'm writing fiction). I will be posting a large poem that's in first person, now that would be as myself looking inward, but it's a fictional dark tale. Which surprisingly is the first time I've ever done that. When you see an entry in first person, it will most likely be something I wish to share about myself. Like this entry was about my struggle with my allergies that I had recently and the way I felt yesterday, suffering from unusual fatigue.
I often wonder if my work would effect others, from time to time I do think upon that subject. I never had the guts to ask people that, just always if they thought it was good or not. Never asked if my work was insightful though. If my work effected others more than just relief of boredom then I would be honored. I usually specialize in dark tales, sometimes tales of lust and love. I would definitely like to know if people were effected in some way reading my work. If they (people) could relate to a certain aspect in my work as far as emotion, places, or the actual characters, then I would feel glad for that I have done a great job. Also, like most artist, there is a piece of me in some way within these tales - from either emotion, places, or fragments of experience twisted into fiction and exaggerated. Thanks for the comments and chat with you later
Your Friend,
