Retrospectively Alone:


My life's a cloud whisking away.
My future is bleak in every way.
Lords of nature, bishop of time
Is there not a talking mime?

Taking out the fool in me.
Pinning it to eternity.
Walking on the transparent floor
Leading up to my golden door.

Witty thought, sarcastic smile.
Addition of another mile.
Final connection in the end,
But for now I am my only friend.




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

"Taking out the fool in me.
Pinning it to eternity.
Walking on the transparent floor
Leading up to my golden door."

Great thoughts in this Javier ... it reminded me of a line from an old Charles Bronson movie ... "and miles to go before I sleep".

I like the descriptive and almost cryptic/hidden quality in your writing ... keep up the great work!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

I really appreciate all the comment and i especially liked what Kit said about my "cryptic/hidden quality style of writing" comment. I have never looked at it like that. I thought it was pretty kick ass. Anyway, thanks all.

Another interesting thought Dopey. I really liked the ending of this:

"Final connection in the end,
But for now I am my only friend."
