He sat in his room. It was a moderate winter's eve. In the past, he might have written such things as "And he spilled the contents of his tortured psyche onto the page", but now he had become more refined concerning his depressive episodes; a much more cynical writer on this date, this moderate winter's eve. He would rather write "He sat in his room. It was a moderate winter's eve. In the past, he might have written such things as "And he spilled the contents of his tortured psyche onto the page", but now he had become more refined concerning his depressive episodes; a much more cynical writer on this date, this moderate winter's eve.

He would rather write something else.

So, he got out of his chair and decorated the ground outside and below with a generous splash of red. It was decidedly his last creation; a message that ended up being somewhat abstract. Hardly worth the ink, that 'something else'. ",  but as he was viciously writing, he was stricken by a terrifying interruption - screaming: approaching from above. His apartment was for a moment shadowed by the source, and then a thump. 

Realising what had happened, he raced out of his apartment and downstairs to see if the source had survived.", which he felt to be a much better expression of his perpetual state.

The Song In My Heart

The song in my heart is heavy and driven It cries that justice and homage be given It yearns for peace but a peace ideal Until that day it's fire in a seal My path it is evident: finely dug for me A step out of line; in the thorns I'll be But whereto it leads is the Resolution To this unfinished cadence of my spirit's constitution

An Athiest's Prayer

an atheist's prayer

I close my eyes

how could I dare?

I know that He sighs

an atheist's prayer
 
in the dark of the night

when nobody cares

and all are lies

Heavenly Father I know that I've sinned But tonight My life will begin Please Show us a sign Guide the way With your Angels divine I don't ask For them to know my name I don't play The hedonist's game Please Help us understand Bring some truth To this barren land
an atheist's prayer I close my eyes how could I dare? I know that He sighs an atheist's prayer in the dark of the night opened my heart and saw the Light
