the subtleties of decay - Vegeta - 06-28-2005
Oh, the sweet song you used to sing. How those notes used to ring. Your thread and needle still wait for you. A stitch in a seam or a piece of a dream.
I felt your glow, bending and shaping. Becoming. The clarity of water. You are, before you are. I can still feel the way you spoke to me. Filled my head and lead me forth. A self broken toy, I remained. In the toy chest you built for me. I try. Happy you kept from us.
My heart held yours. Sidewalk patterns follow your shoelaces. My love follows trails of hair. Golden curls of wheat.
The frame we held for six cold months. Bitter cold bites my lips. Your touch I can not forget. The touch I never felt. Ghostly hands trace your lips. Can you keep a secret?
Small growth of trust between the cracks in the plaster. Shallow hopes will paint there soon. You and I, beneath the sky of love.
Storm of love. Rainbow lost? The love I left designed by need. Even now the withdrawl chills my teeth. The grinding of your brakes. We came to a halt.
You recommend books, "The Tilt of Loss", "Our escape", "The Curses of being a Woodworker". The libarian just smiled. I glanced at what she read with such a piercing glaze. "Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You Meet." She handed me a tissue. I went back to your apartment. You were never there. Our empty bookcase and the dead goldfish. The lump in the rug we called "What I meant".
I inhale deep, and blow my smoke back into your shape. Held together by that same glow. You gave me everything I needed. I was just never good at putting it together.
Turn off that darkness. It's keeping me awake. I dreamt of your nightmares. I had seen them. The movie, "Hope". The screen wasn't much, but neither was your scent. This is how all good stories end. Not with a kiss and a wave. With regrets and stupid mistakes.

Like I said.
Burter: this is good stuff. I don't know why you don't roleplay anymore, you're really talented

Burtah is right, man. I think you can portray your message very, very well through the written word. I can practically feel what is going on when I read it. I especially liked this paragraph. Very well done, Koola. *golf clap*

I don't roleplay anymore because I don't enjoy writing DBZ. What I've posted in the workshop and roleplaying here are completely different styles... and I don't think I could even write like this for roleplays. I don't know that I'd want to. I just write when I'm in the mood now, and try not to force anything.
I can spend my time doing things I enjoy or finding something that I do enjoy.
My current hobby is stenciling/spray painting/urban art. My fingers are covered in dried paint.
Thanks for the comments though. I like it when people actually say things about what I write. I know how it makes me feel but I wonder what other people think. Oh, plus I like the ego boost of people enjoying my writing.
