Roses lined the paths
Everyone else took, but we
Met by quiet lakes

Evenings spent giggling –
My laughs echoed on your skin
Bare in summer heat

“Ends come to all things.”
Reminding me of that, you
Took my hand and begged

Of me, “Remember,
Far into the bleak future,
Our time of being.”

Request accepted.
Great, but I would not of you
Ever ask the same

Today, I think on
My fate alone, a ghost to
Everyone and you

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)

"Upon his bench the pieces lay
As if an artwork on display
Of gears and hands
And wire-thin bands
That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]

k idk if anyone will read this(and i hope nobody does because im just pointlessly blabbing). i wrote that comment because this is from 10 years ago. because i know it will move it back to the public eye and maybe for all the campaigning i do about supporting new authors, for once i want to break out of it. chaotic good, after all(sorry, i have dnd on my mind).

This is really deep; I love how you wrote haikus but made it into a story of a kind.  Love it!

I write my life in ink, that way i can still remember the good things, and yet i can never erase my mistakes.

Remember to forget me! I thought this was a happy(ish) haiku but now is the deeper-underlined-meaning! Great job!

Whoa. The title drew me in, the writing held me to it, and then the realization that it was acrostic blew me away. Lots of people can put meaning in their stuff, but very few can add that true wit.

This is incredible! It's so beautiful, it makes my heart skip a beat :) Every word is perfectly placed.

It would be an honor to know what you think of mine?
