heart once broken has been repaired from the haunting doubts was freed hope that had died resurrected now where will the future lead? i don't know where this road may go or how long i'll walk alone instead i trust the hand of him to whom is tomorrow known someday our paths may intertwine until then, here i will stand since he's brought us safely this far i will rest here in his hand waiting no longer at last came the right time at last i saw you

fallen angel

i'm thinking about what you said and how i wish i could believe but i'm not sure you understand there's more to me than you perceive you don't know my history of how i came to be this way if i'm enslaved, the chains are thick they won't just vanish in a day i've travelled down this road before more times than you might think it seems and my reward: just empty vows, a broken heart, and shattered dreams and i don't want to be like this but change does not come suddenly don't stretch me hard or i might break don't run too fast or i may flee so reach out to me, help me fly but don't expect great things from me my wings are broke

threshold by ZoeOfElyon, literature

Literature

threshold

i look back at the mess we made and what a heavy price we paid maybe it wasn't worth it you who i called my friend why did it have to end? time to move on leave it all behind but how can i let go when you won't leave my mind? the words i wish i would have said whisper and echo in my head maybe i should forget it but how can i move on until the words are gone? time to go back leave my fears behind for i know what i seek but dread what i may find will morning bring the cure i need? some wounds don't heal; they crack and bleed but i just can't ignore it i've owed you this a while i want to reconcile time to move on no loo

Literature

this isn't me

this isn't me i'm not what you see my face is a mask no one can look past these aren't my eyes they're telling you lies always they hide what's really inside my smile's not real i hide what i feel outside i'm lying inside i'm crying you'll never see what's inside of me if you saw my heart you'd tear it apart my mask is a shield i always will wield i'm not what you see this isn't me

Magic Feet by ZoeOfElyon, literature

Literature

Magic Feet

I am the wind, light and free, on magic feet dance weightlessly I'm flying through a sky that sings and soaring on my unseen wings It fills the air with music sweet, this dancing on my magic feet I am the sea, its graceful tide rolls underneath me as I glide across the waters of my dreams My grand jetés boundless, it seems I feel my heart can scarcely beat when dancing on my magic feet I am a star, a ray of light I dance into the black of night The sky my stage, the earth below my audience. The time moves slow I feel alive and whole and free, dancing on my magic feet

Dreams by ZoeOfElyon, literature

Literature

Dreams

I am a Dreamer I dream and I see things that never were things that you could never perceive — except in Dreams I am a Reader I read and go to places that don't exist places you can never reach — except in Dreams I am a Storyteller I write and tell of things that never happened things that you would never believe — except in Dreams I am a Dancer but I dance to music that isn't real music you can never hear — except in Dreams I am a Dreamer when I sleep, I dream things that never were things no one else will ever see — unless they Dream

Plastic by ZoeOfElyon, literature

Literature

Plastic

i get up in the morning and don a plastic face so you won't see the tears the pain or the disgrace i wear a plastic smile so you think all is well you don't see inside i'm living though hell i put on a show just to earn your love i can't be merely me that isn't enough what you want me to be is a wind-up plastic doll you don't care if i am human at all i step up to the stage and perform an act for you i can't be merely me that would never do you nod and say you're proud but what are you proud of? a mask, a doll, a fake is that what you love? but i hate being plastic underneath the mask, i'm real i'm human inside i th

Climbing Everest by ZoeOfElyon, literature

Literature

Climbing Everest

As I write this essay, I'm looking over a passage in The Hawk and the Dove by Penelope Wilcock. It's the part where old Father Carnforth relates to Melissa and her family what his doctor has told him: "You're going downhill this year, James." To this the priest says, "But I am eighty-three. What can you expect? 'If you mean my chest is worse,' I said to him, 'I will accept your judgement as a medical man, but don't tell me I am going downhill. The road climbs upwards, upwards to the light.'" Though it's been a long time since I read this book, I've never forgotten that line. Often I've pondered those words and what they mean not just a

new year's eve, the night is young and i've never felt so old while old and wistful songs are sung i feel my tale is told take a drink from the liquor cart drop it to the floor it shatters, like my aching heart clean it and bring more so i stare into the stars above just thinking of tonight and yellow tulips for my love she's leaving at first light three in the morning, all is still save my silent tears because i know you always will haunt my roving years quixotic love, but all the same it's love i bear for you if i could say your pleasant name ever loved me, too maybe i'd praise god above who set the seas alight with ye

love notes you'll never read

you should see what i wrote you all the pleas and bad poetry these boring rhymes just won't do you deserve much more than me i've been awake far too long just writing these stupid words i think i may come on too strong all this shit is getting absurd i'm drunk on wine and lack of sleep writing notes you'll never read crumple it up, add it to the heap of love notes you'll never read so now i'm pouring out my soul but i'll just throw it away i'll never reach that simple goal so why not just give up today?

bittersweet by ZoeOfElyon, literature

Literature

bittersweet

What has become of the old days, When ev'rything so simple was, When all was games and fun and plays? We did as ev'ry child does All that was once, is now the past And nevermore is to repeat A day comes once and does not last; Sometimes life is so bittersweet Gone is the day of our brave quest When wandered in the desert we And each one wondered, thought, and guessed When we'd again each other see Our story has come to a close Our journey's done, our quest complete And though we did vanquish our foes, The victory is bittersweet The fellowship is broken now, And we've all gone our sep'rate ways And tried to move on, but someh

I have a camera and I don't know how to use it

0 min read

My dad's let me use his old digital camera (HP Photosmart 812) for an indefinite amount of time, probably until I get my own.  In the mean time, I am a photographically-challenged female who can suddenly take pictures to her heart's content. So two things. 1) I'd like suggestions for what kind of digital camera to look for.  I don't need a really super-awesome one, I'm not going to make a career out of photography, and I'm not the most techology-savvy person on earth.  And I'm a poor college kid.  Suggestions? 2) Any critique or suggestions for improvement are welcome.  I'll be putting up some pictures so you can see how much of a novice I

getting down to business

0 min read

So I haven't really written much in the last X months, which is a little sad.  But lately, in particular the last two-ish weeks, several things have happened (good, bad, and weird) that have inspired me or something.  So I guess I'm making up for lost time. Also, since I have a need to create distractions for myself, I redid some of the poetry previews.  You probably didn't/won't notice.
