Hello,

Well, I finally got back on here. And I havestarted to branch out and read other author's works. I am overwhelmed at the different styles of writing, and at the depth of them. Jane Austen's writings are one of them, and they continue to blow me away as I read about Jake. Hopefully I will become as fluent and poetic as the brilliant writers that dwell together on this blog.

I'm posting some of my earlier poems today. I know that they're in need of some real work, and if you have any ideas, please do let me know!

The End of Gravity

'Colors flash before my eyes',
some say void- a ruse, a guise.
Most say rest, some say less,
I'll believe in my own guess.

Soon I'll board a Ship of gold,
lead me past the field of old,
see the wonders long untold,
travel on a journey bold.

See the wonders- Outerspace;
far above the Human race.

A welcome hand, a joyous face
as I meet One of untold grace.
Now I say 'Goodbye' to gravity,
as I dwell with Him for all eternity.

The Anatomy of Consent

Hair falls in front of his eyes,
Blocking view from thier lies.

Yes, I know. It's quite small. But I think that it leaves the reader open to contemplate what the meaning is. If you think it needs more, please let me know......

And here is the 'Intro' to my soon-to-be story:

It is a story about a girl named Elsie Lewis who gives her life to the mysterious leader. Not many people know about him, and those who do aren't there anymore to tell anyone. The people that follow this leadergive up their normal life in society, because in order to live in this 'faith' of the leader, they need to keep it a secret. They are called the Chosen. Society lives for the moment, not caring for tomorrow. Thier motto is Carpe Diem, live for the moment. But while this may be good now, the leaders in this part of life are leading the people to death.

Modern society wants to banish the Chosen, these rioters and disturbers of peace, so the Chosen people go underground, and create thier own cities and places of safety, where they can learn more about what they have given their lives to.

But one day while on the surface, Elsie Lewis finds a boy that is undecided. And Elsie knows that if she can save him,  it would mean one more soul saved. So Elsie brings him into the Chosen people's territory and tries to show him their way of life.

This story is about the friendship between these two, and how they grow in the faith that Elsie is hoping to share with the boy.

And again, if you have any ideas or comments, please let me know! :D
