Doublethink

Doublethink

:iconadmiralvorkraft:

I break mirrors
I assume
When they don't show me
Or the me that I know
Staring back is never
The petite
"sensitive"
Boy?
Laughed off the playground
For enjoying embroidery
Nor the pale
Waifish child
With haunted eyes
It is not the girl that I see
Prematurely aged
But a stranger
Six foot six
Broad of shoulder
Strong and confident I think
Clean jawed
Clear eyed
As yet unbowed and defiant.

The eyes they say
Are the windows on the soul
And what then does it mean
When mine
Flit
From green
To gray
To blue and back
Take on the color of their surroundings
And the qualities of the light?

I hope I don't get seven more years each morning
Eighteen of bad luck has been quite enough.

Two Sides to a Twenty-Two You shot me.
Twice.
Once in the chest
and I would have survived it
because you used a twenty-two
And again
in the head as I fell.
The bullet struck me
under the chin
pierced my flesh
and punched through my
hard pallet.
It deviated there
just slightly
losing momentum
beginning to spin.
It was too slow then
and too fat
to pierce my skull
so it bounced around.
My brain leaked into my mouth
and I could still taste it
and then I struck the ground.
You shot me because I was breaking into your home.
Outside it was snowing
and your security lights,
and the smoke from the chimney,
and the mail strewn across your stoopTwo Sides to a Twenty-Two by ~admiralvorkraft
A Promise Made to Yourself and a Lover There is a
Moment
When you see Them
and They are laughing
At your joke
At a party.
Their face is flushed
Your heart skips
in that moment when Their drink
Ti[s
and almost spills.
It is Their eyes
you see
Not Their perfect lips
it is their glint
their glamour
and the crinkling of their corners.
And you realize
In that
Moment
That they will have beautiful
Laugh-lines
And that you want to stick around
Long enough to see them.A Promise Made to Yourself and a Lover by ~admiralvorkraft
Writing: the Blathering  Writing: the Blathering (tm), "An Exciting Game For One Or More Players!" Proclaimed the box, shrink wrapped, laying invitingly in the impulse buy isle of that local book store you like to support. Or at least pretend to support and wander into now and again.
You bought it, didn't you? Of course you did. One of these days you won't be the only one playing it. Like the Buffy card game, or that one that mixed H.P. Lovecraft and NASCAR.
Right.
But you brought it home, and you slid a nail into the seam of the plastic and sliced it open. You relish the smell of printing ink and new cardboard, card stock, whatever processed paper product givWriting: the Blathering by ~admiralvorkraft
On Sending a Love Poem Read it.
Read it when you're lonely
or read it when you're happy,
read it when you miss me
when you don't,
read it backwards
read it under the covers,
or unfold the paper and turn it over
write a new poem
just sign it with my name.
Tear it, burn it
or sanctify it with a kiss.
Just read it.

Just once.On Sending a Love Poem by ~admiralvorkraft

If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I stumbled across this page looking for bad fanfiction with friends a month or so ago, but haven't had time to read it until now. I just thought you should know that your work is absolutely stunning. It's not perfect grammatically or technically, but nearly all the pieces seem like they have a wellspring of emotion behind them.

Please keep writing! :)

Thank you :)

It's always good to hear that someone has taken something away from my work, and I assure you I will continue to write so long as I can.

I'm glad to hear it! I'm only just getting back into writing now, but I'm trying to crank out one thing a day with the idea of getting creative juices flowing, even if some of it turns out badly.

If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could spare a glance every so often and maybe toss out a critique?

Seeing that all your deviations here are written, I thought I'd recommend Writing.com to you as another place to post your work. It's free to join and a great community for all kinds of writers.
