Stuck in your Imagination

What am I doing here
In this land of your creation
You promised to fulfill my dreams
But instead I’m stuck in your imagination

Who are you trying to save
From this forgotten land
There is no one waiting for a savior
There is no one looking for a helping hand

When will it be time
For you to move on to better dreams
I can’t live in this corner of your brain
Where nothing is real, nothing is as it seems

Why won’t you let me go
Into the land without end
Let me leave this doomed hell
I beg off you, please give up my friend

How can you not see
That you have lost this fight
You will not win this battle
And the finish is almost in sight

Where do you think we will end up
when all of this is finally done
I imagine a place of peace and nothingness
A place where I will no longer have to run

We promised him

‘I wish we could go back,’ her sister said while wiping the tears of her face. ‘Maybe we could’ve saved him.’

She couldn’t see her sister who was sitting in the tree next to hers, but she knew she was crying. Their father had never stood a chance against the soldiers, but nevertheless he had not given up. He fought valiantly as was his nature. She wished she could’ve helped him too, but his instructions were clear. They were to run as fast as they could, while he tried to buy them some more time. He was supposed to meet them here. But that was two days ago. Her younger sister had refused to leave. She still had hope.

‘Wishing for the past to change is futile,’ she finally said. ‘The past is stubborn and unmoving. Wishes for a better future, however, may yet come true.’

‘We should have stayed and fought,’ her sister said. ‘We left him to die!’

‘It’s time to go, Jane,’ she said firmly.

‘Just a little longer,’ Jane begged.

‘There’s no time,’ she said. ‘The soldiers are searching the woods. And we promised him.’

Have a nice Sunday!

The Writer is Almighty

MadnessMonday #4

I wrote you

Words on a piece of paper
Create worlds to be discovered
By readers who wonder
About what the next chapter will bring

Magic happens
When writer and inspiration meet
In an empty room
Where imagination is the limit

From nothingness
Everything is born
For the writer is almighty
It’s all just madness!

Have a nice Monday!

What-Would-You-Do-With-Your-Freedom

‘Freedom is such a curious concept.’

The girl looked through the prison bars to see who had spoken the words. Outside stood one of the prison guards. He had a truly vile look on his face.

‘You believed yourself to be a free woman and used that freedom to break the law,’ he continued. ‘Now you are locked in here as my prisoner.’

He seemed to enjoy his power. If only he knew what was to come. If only he knew that by the end of the day, he would be the one sitting in this cell.

‘My freedom cannot be taken from me,’ she replied. ‘It is mine to give and I’m not a generous person. You will soon understand this lesson.’

The guard started laughing. It echoed through the walls of the dungeon. The other prisoners, who had long ago lost their minds, joined in.

If only they knew.

Have a nice Sunday!

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil!

SketchSunday #1

My brother was kind enough to let me ‘borrow’ his drawing tablet. (I asked if I could use it and as long as he doesn’t ask about it, I’m keeping it.) Let me start this post by saying that I’m no artist. Drawing was actually one of my worst subjects in High School. I barely passed the class. I love to draw, though, and I’m not going to let some stupid High School teacher stop me from doing something I love. I’ve been messing around with this tablet for a few months now and decided it was time to share my latest drawing.

Again, I’m no artist! Don’t expect the new Mona Lisa.

Sketch
LineWork
Finished

I needed something to draw and thought it would be fun to draw the See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil monkeys. I used different images as inspiration and started with a sketch.

Once the sketch was finished I did the line work. Sketching the different monkeys didn’t take too long. It’s the line work that takes the longest for me. I erase a lot and redo almost every line at least ten times.

After the line work is finally done, it’s time to colour everything. This is the part I love. I can just turn off my brain and focus on the colouring. I don’t have to worry about making things perfect anymore.

So here’s the finished project! What do you guys think? Would you like me to do this more often?

Have a nice Sunday!
