The Passing Deities

Shane — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:45:27 +0000

Remember dreams. You lived and died.
Recall the demons charging you.
If it were not for deities,
You’d doubt your will to see it through.

But now no clouds or lords above,
Just nothing when the clock strikes twelve.
And with that infinite and bleak,
Upon your soul to save yourself.

So show no sorrow at this path,
Bow not in fear at Pain’s demise,
Walk on towards the dreams you had,
For you must live before you die.

RoW80 & NaNa

Shane — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 08:23:21 +0000

Just a quick one to get started on the blogging.

Decided to have a go at RoW80 or in it’s full title, Round of Words in 80 Days.

I found Nanowrimo a fantastic experience, although I didn’t quite make the 50,000, I got pretty close. Events conspired to take up time in the last few days.

From it though, I got the basis on a first novel. It gave me something to work on and I am trying to fine tune it at the moment.

I am not going to revisit that work for RoW80 though; I want to have a fresh approach and fresh story.

So I am going to give Ernest Goodheart a new twist.

I have never been sure about what kind of story that character fitted in, but more and more I like the idea of him being a quirky hero. Being a massive devotee of anything Douglas Adams, I also want to give something with a little bit of humour a go.

So from my Nanowrimo story, a renaming may occur for the main character.

For RoW80, I prepare to write part one of a trilogy I’ve had in my head for quite some time.

Alone Among…

Alone among a thousand more ~
a flash of what once was takes hold ~
I smile as memories ensure ~
I cherish all the things once told ~

By The Grace Of God

By the grace of god I fell ~
upon the scarred and bloody stone ~
into your eyes, into your arms ~
I cannot do this on my own ~

I am – whuh?

Shane — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:55:52 +0000

I am me ~
who was, will be ~
But wait – that doesn’t make much sense.

For who am I? ~
Or was or were ~
or will be in the future tense?

Those dark old times ~
At a marble desk ~
And yet my thoughts ~
Tell me I was blessed ~

#Poetweet’s

140 Characters or Less.

Or so they say. I’m on twitter quite a lot now. I love reading people’s little poetweet’s that the put up. I’ve started doing my own, and tweeting them out into the big bad cyber world.

Not any good, nor are they rubbish. The just are. Or is. Or will be (I dunno – bad grammer day.)

Her Hair Dances

Shane — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:32:33 +0000

To see her hair dance in the wind ~
To steal a glance, we are but friends ~
Shy, oh joy, of youthful whim ~
I lose myself in my own dreams ~

Coast Of Ireland

Shane — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:28:43 +0000

On the coast of Ireland lies ~
A hill, which on it sits a home ~
Where many years I laughed and cried ~
But now, alas, it sits alone ~

Minus Three

Shane — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 10:07:09 +0000

Poor Jenny died aged minus three
short months away from being free
into the arms of broken youths
who lost their hearts within the truth.

of everything including her,
her touch, her smile, her ‘golden’ hair,
the sight of this – our little girl –
that never made it to this world.

for one more broken day is gone,
as we are too – it’s been so long –
but just how does one measure time,
when every day seems like a crime?

So close my eyes to lay a kiss -
On memories each day I miss.
So hard to think she would be ten,
another birthday missed again…
