Ok guys, I have a confession to make: I drew this picture because I was practicing a sort of kneeling pose on the fly and it turned into THIS (which I think ended up really cool) and NOW I'm writing this random poem-thing on the spur of the moment...

Ok guys, I have a confession to make: I drew this picture because I was practicing a sort of kneeling pose on the fly and it turned into THIS (which I think ended up really cool) and NOW I'm writing this random poem-thing on the spur of the moment 'cause I got all inspired and stuff so here you go:

O, bleeding heart,

My darling dear,

My muse and song,

Why must you fall silent and hide your face?

O, my sweet love,

Tell, do you know,

I adore you so?

Please come back into the light--!

How, can't you see

Your radiant warmth

From your heart--

Outpouring as a golden stream of sun?

Drowning away

The dying day

Your tears flow

Though you aren't mourning...

You try to be strong

For far too long

And expect me to ignore

The times you've broken before...

What if you knew

All the nights I've thought of you

Wond'ring, are you an angel

Sent from heaven above...?

Let it be healed

Lest you retreat away

From my tender embrace

Yet even still you shiver, cold

Wait for release

No, I shall not cease

O, bleeding heart

Until you are safe

From the dark

WELL, that happened. I just wrote that. Just now. As I'm typing this.

Now, don't freak out. This is NOT an instance of "oh no, the author has drawn/written really sad things; author, are you ok?!"...it's more of a "hey I'm in the mood for some doodling oh that turned out pretty cool it kinda reminds me of--OH NO THE IDEAS, THE INSPIRATION, THEY'RE SNOWBALLING AND AAAAHHH WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" situation.

Literally, this just randomly flew into my head out of nowhere. Aw man, it's making me think of all the future stories I wanna write! AAAAHHH!

So, as far as me-posting-stuff goes, what do you guys think? I think I like it...I mean, I DID just write it. It's still got that new, uncertain feeling to it, but...oh well! I'm still happy to share it with you. (Though, since I have so many chapters planned in advance, the time of writing occurs way before the time I actually post it, but...I suppose that can't be helped. And I imagine it has the same effect, regardless.)

If you have any questions or thoughts, I'd love to hear them! Who knows, maybe this spur-of-the-moment thing will turn out to be super awesome!

Well, that's all I have for today.
