Forever in a Day by rougedragon, literature

Literature

Forever in a Day

When a single day lasts forever You walk along in dreams. Hands within each others' And hearts towards the skies; You travel the same direction, Towards the bright new dawn, An endless day before you As memories pave the way. You have no cause to worry For there is nothing to fear; Another shoulder to carry the load And two more eyes to shed the tears. But best of all you have two smiles Ready to greet the day; Smiles of joy and hope, Of dreams and laughter: And of a love to tell the world Because today is your day.

The Soldier and the Hippy by rougedragon, literature

Literature

The Soldier and the Hippy

A Soldier and a Hippy went for a walk one day. They walked along in silence, for neither had much to say. The Soldier turned to the Hippy, after they had walked a while, "Friend, on this day, I am yet to see you smile." The Hippy replied, in a voice deep and rich, "On this day I am sad, for I am without my Little Witch." "Oh," the Soldier replied, "I give to you my pity, For on this day I am also without my Little Hippy." The Hippy slowly smiled, and the Soldier smiled back, They had both found company, along this lonely track. They walked a little farther, the mood was quite sedate, And then the Hippy asked, "how long do you hav

Dried Tears on her Pillow by rougedragon, literature

Literature

Dried Tears on her Pillow

Dried tears on her pillow, Red eyes in the morn. Two months to go, And her patience has worn. She wants to be home, She wants to be with him. The pain of separation That hurts deep within. Her laughter just a story, Her happiness a lie. Her smile an act only, Because all she does is cry. And nobody back home knows That she cries alone at night. That she cries til there're no tears left, And what she dreams with all her might. Her heart it does ache, And her body it does weep. Happy only in her dreams, As her mind it does sleep. Dried tears on her pillow, Red eyes, come dawn. Dreaming of the day Her heart wont be torn.

Ode to IFIE by rougedragon, literature

I close my eyes to go to sleep by rougedragon, literature

Literature

I close my eyes to go to sleep

I close my eyes to go to sleep, And in my dreams I wake. Sleepy eyes, soft smiles; And a kiss is mine to take. I close my eyes to go to sleep, For my dreams are my release. The gentle beating of your heart, A soothing tune of peace. I close my eyes to go to sleep, My dreams are carefully spun. Your scent drifting through my senses; In sleep my troubles are none. I close my eyes to go to sleep, My dreams end the masquerade. Your soothing words in my ear; My favourite serenade. I close my eyes to go to sleep; When in my dreams I'm free. I'm held close by your strong arms When I imagine you with me. I close my eyes to go to

Lovers' Stars by rougedragon, literature

Literature

Lovers' Stars

Aa new star is formed in the sky. And that's what shooting stars are; The hearts of lost love falling to earth. No longer able to keep holding Onto the cosmos where they sat so high Without their strength to keep aloft. They cannot hold on alone; Stars require the strength of two To stay up there in the eternal expanse – Their power radiating from their kindred light. To be a light in the darkness. To be an inspiration. But when there is no kindred light, When there is no more strengh; The stars start to come loose. So the little lonely stars Fall solitary to earth, Tails streaming behind as they Fail to grasp their last c

Morning Wakings by rougedragon, literature

Literature

Morning Wakings

Morning wakings; Bodies held tight And close together, As they were throughout the night. Morning smiles; Lethargic though sleep, And warm, drowsy Glances soft and deep. Morning hugs; Strong embraces, Tender and fond; Emotion read on smiling faces. Morning kisses; Fresh and sweet Like the touch of the sun On a new day to greet. Morning wakings; As all lovers know, Come with hopes And dreams to sew.

Gifts by rougedragon, literature

Literature

Gifts

I send you the morning dew To glisten in your path. The soft wind To brush your cheeks. I give to you the songs The birds sing in the trees. And the scent of spring Creeping closer with each day. I send you the first rays of the moon, Glowing gently over sleeping lovers. But also the sun To warm your face with the glow of all the world. But most of all I give to you the first star of the night sky For all your wishes to be hung on. And the first smile of lovers, As they wake in the morning in each others arms. The happiness. The love. I give them all to you So you may live in the wonders of this world; With me or without

Steps. Stages. by rougedragon, literature

Literature

Steps. Stages.

Step. Take a step. Stage. It's just another one. A few steps forward. But another one back; It's just the way it goes. In and out, Up and down A day passes. Four, five The weeks come next. And then it will be the months. One at a time; How slowly they crawl. Time passes at its own pace Hearts mend in their own time. Another step, Another stage. They will come, They will pass. The time between to be endured. To be swallowed and taken, Without sugar, Without honey. Bitter reality, No chaser. Step. Take a step. Stage. It's just another one. Soon they will be all forward, With no more back. One day. Soon?

Nothing More by rougedragon, literature

Literature

Nothing More

Take your picture from my wall For I can't bear to see your smile. Your arms forever around me In a photograph, Nothing more. Take your present from the mantle For I can't bear to see its figure. A gift that you once gave me; A token, Nothing more. Take your clothes from my closet For I can't bear to see then next to mine. Harmoniously together; A dream, Nothing more. Take your image from my heart For I can't bear the pain To know that you have gone; You're a memory, Nothing more.

Now it really IS japan!

0 min read

Since my journal was still reading "oh my god! i'm going to japan!!!" i suppose i should actually change it to "oh my god! i'm in japan!!!" only the real sentiment is without all the exclamation marks. I'm half way through, and seriously resisting making a countdown til I will be home. Nope, i'm not liking it here. Perhaps you need to be one of those little ameircan anime artists that likes to add "chan" at the end of their names to try and sound cute to like it here. although i think they might be surprised at the reality. no one bloody calls themself "chan" here. it's a bleedin title that is given to children and cutsie nicknames. I could

Japan!

0 min read

I think karma is remembering that I'm really not a bad person after all, because the other day, after boozing and dancing my weekend away, and failing a test, I got a phone call from my Japanese Lecturer saying that someone pulled out from the Japanese program and that I was the next on the list!!! So I AM going to Japan now!!!! My deposit is all paid and I'm leaving on the 25th November!!! Too cool. Just, too bloody cool!
