The Fall

Defying gravity.

It's like turning off every light in your room and gazing at the one spot on the wall you can't really see. Or like draining your last cup of coffee with tea leaves left in the end. Or maybe finding out that it's just you here, the rest are just projections of your mind. Or like complete silence outside with just that one voice in your head that doesn't quite seem like your own.

They asked us to believe and so we did. Because really, what else did we have?
Turning it all off.
It's that easy. Or just that difficult.
Defying gravity.
Defying me.
Defying you.

It's free falling when there is no bottom. It's ebony and ivory.
It's falling and failing and wandering and wondering. It's brilliance and misery all in one. It's clarity and cacophony stringed together. It's peace and war jumbled to form something anew. It's just this. This is all we have and all there can ever be.

Missing

"Mira!" "Kay!" *squeals* "How are you? Oh my god, it's been forever, hasn't it? I missed you so much. How've you been? Your hair looks so different. This new colour is so you. I can't believe you finally got rid of all the blue highlights. Oh my god, there is so much I need to tell you. And we have to go see Haley and Mel. They are totally clueless about you coming back. And we- " "Mira, calm down. I only just got here. I missed you too." "Well, you better have. Come on then. Let's get you home. Airports aren't my favourite place to catch up." "I am only staying for a few days so I'll just get a hotel room or something." "Nonsense. My house is big enough for us and the Brady bunch. Not that I'd ever have anything to do with them." No matter how much you try to kill it or forget it, home always catches up with us. I finally got home. As much I hate it, God, I missed this place...

The Immortal Marvel : Guest Post

Helloo again! Okay so me and Ice Maiden, my fellow blogger  (we had kinda coerced each other into starting blogging) were suddenly really fascinated with the idea of guest posts so we did one for each other's blogs. My first guest post, which is pretty great, is Ice Maiden's view about blogging and writing. Here it goes: Coherent ramblings in digital view, To old school-diaries we bid adieu. From wise-old sayings to crazy rants, Everything under the sun it has. From anger outbursts and paradise dreaming, To weepy poems and guilty confessing Here words gain a peculiar sophistication Even immoral shit is given due consideration Diverse opinions bonded as a family, Blogosphere functions with benedictions from the almighty A brilliant source to express in public, And venture out in the world, open ended. Eons of talent still waiting to be read To acceptance of great potential, they lead. Challenges on our threshold, such is our creed Ends with imaginary swagger, not gr...

Welcome home, Mae

And so I packed up my bags and left, not turning to look back. Didn't take much with me. Didn't want anything to do with my past. Just a few documents, clothes and some cash to survive. And one photograph in the heart-shaped silver pendant that hung around my neck. I left without saying goodbye. Not that there were any to give. So I took the first flight out and left the town I'd always known. Where I had been my whole life. The only place I knew for sure. I moved to a new city. A big city. Where I could get lost in the sea of faces that walk it every single day. The thing about cities is that they're so full of life yet they lack life. They house people and families but they don't house a community. People say that the city is shallow. Materialistic and oblivious of reality. That cities lack a story. They lack character and depth of spirit. But they don't. Cities simply hide stories well. Better than any town ever could. Cities are full of stories. Ther...
