Rarity's Letter

Dearest Fluttershy, I suppose since I’m already writing letters of apology for my customers, I should also write this letter to you. I feel that you deserve an explanation and an apology from me as well, so that you can understand why I cannot give you your heart’s desire. Even after all these years, and despite the fact that we were never able to start a family like we both wanted, my heart still belongs to Golden Fleece. Though circumstances have parted us prematurely, I still think of him every day. Some days… are harder than others, but happy or sad, I will cherish every moment I spent with him for the rest of my adm

Oddball Love Letter 4

I, You got me tripping over myself and doing something I never thought I'd be doing. Saying this won't be easy, so I'm writing it down to keep it all together and organized. Besides, every time I open my phone and try to text you, I can't seem to figure out what I actually want to say. Imagine if I tried calling you like this; I'd stutter all over the damn place trying to say anything important. Why haven't you been talking to me, girl? Did I do something wrong again? Just explain to me what I've been doing that I shouldn't be. I'll do my best to fix it. And I know you know I'm looking at all these other chicks left and right; you got nothi

The Virtue of Silence

Nothing would matter in the end-- What you mean won't reach foe or friend; Why waste energy speaking then, When all they'll do is miscomprehend?

The Ballad of Sam David, C. II

Rest is an extravagance only afforded to the dying, inexcusable in the quick among whom Sam David still walks after the outpour of lead and rain in the town of Tulane, where twenty men hit the dirt by Sam's guns, Never to rise again. No rest for an infamous outlaw with blood on his hands. But what do you do when water soaks through your hat, your coat, your shirt, your soul? His horse was dead, the one that carried him from Mt. Mercer. The worn out thing had lasted far longer than he had dared to hope, but metal and cordite finally cut his line. Sam had called him skinny, that thin thing stretched too thin to be alive, a thing of bon

Heaventide

  On nights when I rarely sleep I stare out of my window where wakeful dreams flood my landscape twisting streets into rivers  Tranquil tides rise against cobblestone beaches then all is quiet when the moon leans against the water starlight glittered lapis  My room submerges thoughts floating away with my books and poems I am Svidrigailov  In the water I am sleeping  Stars reflect into the Pacific portals to remembrance woven together in night's liquid tapestry  If I swim out I can reach each one hear the blinked whispers of their lullabies comforting notes forming gentle waves rocking me in their cradle of warm music where I close my e

My Love Affair with English

I lie with you alone when I compose Gray thoughts to black ink written on my page; My composed love for you, I may suppose, For a foreign lover, earns lover's wage. But when we lie together for love's work You ask of me much more than I can give; My hands and tongue befuddle into murk The lovely scenes in which you wish to live. I haven't known you long enough to say All intimate thoughts floating through my head, Nor articulate into black the gray Buried in my mind when we lie at bed. So we're both disappointed when we lie; You want so much but I can't satisfy.
