MUSHROOM NEEDS YOUR HELP!

As you all know, I'm submitting my literary works in a contest AND a publication in UST. God knows whether or not I'll be accepted, but I do not fear rejection. However, I still want to present the best of my stuff, of course.

Here's where YOU come in. It is known that I dump my pieces in sordidlilthing, and so I plead, "Would you be kind enough to check my literary LJ out (if you haven't) and tell me what SHORT story or poem I should pass. You can click on the links found in the side bar, though my other added poems are in the recent posts. If you can't decide because 1) They're too lewd or 2) They just suck 3) They're GAY MEN GODDAMNIT then I guess I have to jump off a cliff. Or do something more dramatic.

(I have this nagging feeling that I should. just. stop. dreaming.)

Here are others to check, too... XD



I don't know if I've improved or anything O_O;

The Humor in Misfortune

I looked out the window and watched the sun rain down
The trees obtained a red hue, then I received a crown
Black crystals scattered on the earth; white mist enveloped the place
I closed my eyes that softly explode, along with the wine that flowed on my face
I hear the jovial cries of my friends, the laughter ringing in my ears
Then I couldn’t hear no more; soon everyone disappears.
Waiting for the river to come to quench my undying thirst
Amidst the merriment I knew naught, and which I should do first.
When the sirens started blaring I looked up to see the sky
A smile played upon my lips: “So this is how I’ll die.”

Insurrection

Casting away my fears of rejection
I glanced at the back I once loved
Caressing sweet memories of passion
In this chasm I waited for the sound
Still time offered me a second chance
To leave you be, and rebuild my family
Yet within this wicked circumstance
Could it still be alive between you and me?
If my mind told me to seal the door
I would obey even if my heart were heavy
Affection given was nothing but poor
My eyes forever closed; ‘till nothing I see.

The Eye of the Storm is Within Me

- Hmmm. I think I like this.

The eye of the storm is within me
I have seen it a long time ago
It lies still and silent, waiting to strike
May it be a friend or a foe.

In your gaze I am but a fool
A jovial spirit that walks the earth
Without seeing the fatal clutch of my hands
And the sadist beneath the mirth.

Once sundown arrives I will attack
When sleep is apparent amongst your face
A knife in the darkness I shall hold
Death imminent with a steady pace.

Whilst you are awake you shall see
That you are truly in need
And a delighted smile from a traitor
Watching gently as you bleed.

Farewell to the Pain

- A song I composed. It...uhhh...nevermind XD

Anxiety
Now that you’re gone I’m feeling jaded
Can’t relate to the words that they’re saying
But it’s okay…I’m used to waiting.

Misery
I walk in this realm of darkness
Just starting to feel useless
But it’s fine…

Chorus:
Because I just said farewell to the pain
I will never feel this way again
So if you’re coming home to me
Don’t say it suddenly
Just come back…and don’t leave.

Finally
The walls are getting thinner
And you are coming nearer
So it’s all right…

Bridge:
But whenever I wake up
I stare at nothing, and no one greets me
Did you really enter my life
Just to abandon me in the end?

I thought I bade farewell to the pain
That I will never feel this way again
You didn’t come home to me
You just left suddenly
So come back…and don’t leave.

The Moon's Premonition

'Twas the night, a night so cold
Whence my ill fortune was finally told.
I was gazing through the dark abyss
I breathed the air, and the stars I kissed
But they mocked me, and my soul they killed
and so with my heart bleeding, I slowly hid
The wise, luminous moon called out to me,
"Darling, what's the matter? Why did you flee?"
I asked, "Why won't things return as they were before?"
"Is it possible that I cannot heal anymore?"
Her light wavered and slowly grew dim
The moon was not as bright as it seemed.
She sighed as her breath blew on my face,
"Come with me, I will lead you someplace."
She took me in her loving arms and off we flew
"Here, there is something that I want to show you."
She revealed a star that was unlike any other;
Its light was fading and greyish in color.
The star often dreamed of death and fear
yet amidst its misery, it never shed a tear.
I looked at it with fright and shame
It was just like me; we were one and the same.
I found myself wanting to touch the little star
To stay by its side forever, to never stay far
But the more I went closer, it tried to escape
It showed no emotion, only grief and hate;
Upon noticing this, my heart was filled with strife
(I have never felt so alone in my life.)

My star departed.

Days passed by...and lo! The star came again!
I embraced it warmly, and joy began to reign
My heart was floating in endless bliss
The dusk was vanishing, my misery ceased.
In that moment of happiness, I heard the moon cry;
A blanket was eating all the stars in the sky!
One by one their pieces rained towards the ground
I looked around; No! My star could not be found!
Beneath the shards, I saw where my star had fallen
Lifeless, numb, bleeding and broken.
Sobbing, I hurriedly flew down
and took my beloved star in my arms.
It was drenched with water that tasted like blood
The moon began to weep, and then came a flood.
The other stars were washed away by the river
Afraid and devastated, I held mine even tighter.
The star looked at me and brushed away my tears
while whispering something in my ear:
"You are beautiful." It said with the innocence of a child
The pain was unbearable; however, it smiled.
The current grew strong, and so my star shattered
Its cross was broken; its pieces were scattered
My star whispered farewell and drowned, leaving me;
along with the tears that created a sea.
The weeping finally stopped, the blanket was gone
The whole world grew quiet, waiting for the sun.

The moon departed.

My star's flame had died, without being lit
There was nothing else to live for, it took my life with it.
I tried looking for the star, without any aid
Soon I also began to fade...
My hopes disappeared, dreams were forgotten
No one can help me, not even I can.
Because it was the night, a night so cold
Whence my ill fortune was finally told.
