Natsu & Lucy - How It All Began

"The moment that I met you,

You went and broke the spell,

You dragged me close behind you,

How quickly our footsteps fell.

I wasn't looking for you,

And you certainly weren't looking for me,

But if I could do it all again,

This is where I would choose to be.

If at any time I'd lost you,

Your hair would become a beacon,

But if I were to have told you,

You would probably say it's salmon.

You had a fire in your belly,

And I guess you lit mine too,

Because  from that moment on,

I knew what I had to do.

Through trials and tribulation,

You were always by my side,

You held me in the light,

Because with you I had no reason to hide.

In the end,

I guess it was you that held the key,

In this life full of adventure,

You made me who I was meant to be."

Thought I'd try another one, all these years later.

farewell

- sometimes i wished

that i stopped you from leaving

even though in the end

i was the one who

made you leave

for good

The weight of my sins, Is but trivial to my might, And so I stand.

The Woodchuck by Sam Pink 

[foldingfittedsheets]

When I was young my dad offhandedly told me he thought people treated fish with so much casual cruelty because fish can’t scream.

The words branded themselves across my soul.

As an adult I think he may have been joking. He payed no especial attention to any indignities fish suffered in our household but I could never forget. I saw fish in a different light after that.

Fish kept in tiny bowls, breathing their own poisons, dying by inches. Fish kept in cold tanks, casually disposed of. Fish touted as being short lived when they could outlive the better loved family dog if only they could breathe. Fish casually won and discarded in cheap plastic bags, thrown away a week later.

How they would scream, if they could.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

benthic angel

was writing about lake sturgeon for a class assignment and showed one of my friends what i'd written.. he then sent part of it back to me with line breaks to turn it into a poem! i just had to draw something for it :]

poem text under the readmore:

lake sturgeon don't know that they're endangered. They don't know anything - other than the muck at the bottom of the water column and the occasional passing touch of another.

really touched by how my friend turned my technical writing into poetry. i haven't tried to write creatively in months, so it's nice to see i've still got it- and nicer still that i could get so inspired by my friend, since i haven't made nature art in a little while, either :>!!

Cowboy Bebop poem thay I enjoyed writing and putting together

Natsume Takashi - Shadows

"I cried into the darkness,

But you were nowhere to be found,

The only sound that answered back,

Was my feet upon the ground.

For a long time I wandered,

Was sent from place to place,

Tried all different family,

But for me they had no place.

I can't say that I blame them,

I was always followed by fear,

The monsters in the shadows,

Things only I could see and hear.

Then as I grew older,

I had hoped it would go away,

But all the shapes and shadows,

Made it clear they were here to stay.

But you don't need to worry,

In time I found my place,

These people and these creatures,

They became easier to face.

Even with this understanding,

That they come and then they go,

I hold you all in my heart,

And it leaves me room to grow."
