I’ve come to think the best writers are wanderers. They stroll blissfully through the mind on an unprovoked quest to find their way through a story, to the end. Each turn is a new beginning, each person a new twist, each thunderstorm a Segway to a new segment of a tale. And the vagabond who galavants through the corridors of the mind, connecting all the dots with glee and then leaving each memory behind, is a truly joyful soul. Continue reading
An imprisoned soul
Impaled on the icicles
Of an indifferent world
Cries out. Continue reading
A sincere word in a needing ear
I whisper to her
Promising her the world
And knowing I can deliver Continue reading
To Whom it may concern,
You are my greatest weakness. I have an uncanny attraction for you that I’ve never been able to overcome. I see in you the potential of perfection: tall, statuesque, intelligent, vulnerable, strong, and kind with a hint of rage. You are the complex enigma that would take my mind a lifetime to unravel and I love it. I love you. However, what my eyes see in you is a reflection of my own selfish desires. I lust after your body and mind as a mission to be accomplished. I am open with you to prove to myself that I am not afraid to be open, but I am open only to you because in actuality I am only willing to be afraid of one person. I have allowed you to see me in a way that few others have and when you rejected me all those times, feelings of past rejections rushed from their hidden places to the forefront of my memory. With the turn of a phrase and the flicker of an eye lash you can turn despair into ecstasy and vice versa. I have given you a gift that you did not want nor ask for. I have blamed you for neglecting and misusing a gift that I doubt you even knew you possessed. We never miss anything until it is gone and it is gone. Thank you for your time and consider this my 2 weeks notice.
-A.D. Wright
The one I love is incapable of ill will; is friendly and compassionate. She lives beyond the reach of “I” and “mine” and of pleasure and pain. She is patient, contented, self-controlled, firm in faith; with all of her heart and mind given to me. This is the one I love. Continue reading
I remember…
Ingesting you feverishly
Feeling you reach down into my soul
Yanking and pulling
Expanding and contracting
Until I became
Free
From worry
Oblivious
to suffering
High
From my own delusions
I remember…
Understands my motives, so she can forgive my actions
Is dependent on me for all of her shortcomings and allows me to be dependent on her for all of mine
Is as eager to hear about my day as she is to tell me about hers Continue reading
