The Experiment Begins

The real reason why I started this blog is to start writing again daily and perhaps re-tap my creative side. As I am sure I can't go on rambling about the nothingness of my days very much longer, largely because it is boring to both read AND write, I will start the purpose of this website.

I do, however, have some groundrules for both strangers and friends alike:
1) Do not steal my work. I beg you. In the event that I find the right people and they think my writing is worthy of a larger audience, please do not take this. This is merely a testing ground for gaining feedback and confidence.
2) Constructive criticism only. Quite frankly, I don't care if you don't like what I have to say, but if you leave comments do so in a polite manner, otherwise, I will not listen to what you have to say.
3) Not every entry will contain special writing, but I will every once and awhile when I feel so inclined to do so, enjoy!

On that note, here is experiment one...

Time

Time spent apart. I suggest a thousand
Fortnights in separate corners of the Earth.
It will make things better,
Help heal the battle wounds of our war.
This is the time needed to make you see clearly.

See that I am not a weak-minded person.
See that I am not ashamed for the choices I once made.

You appear the same way mounted on your horse:
You both are with blinders afraid of the peripheral.
What made you start to behave this way?
Why are you shut out from the way things are?
Will the long years apart shed light to this darkness?

Little did you know that I learned your secret ways.
I could see all what you despised about me.
I heard the harshness of your thoughts.
I read rapidly between the words you spoke.
I outsmarted you at your own game, and now look,

Look at the wreckage of war with no victor.
We no longer stand on the battlefield, so is the truce called?
Time spent apart. Drop the swords and shed the blinders.
Let us start to heal from these trenches before us.
