Once upon a midnight dreary,
Arose two hearts alive but weary.
His was cold and cracked as ice,
Hers was whole and full of life.
Not once they thought they'd be together,
Apart and silent both forever.
A wish fullfilled but only half,
He stood aside as she walked past.
Another 'man' was in her sights,
'His' heart was soft like thawing ice.
But when outspoken of his care,
She couldn't bring herself to bear,
To leave the one she had ignored,
No pain could two of them afford.
The song was sung none could forget,
Of those who need more than they get.
Life was shared with hearts combined,
No love stronger one could find.
This hap
Wind was cold as usual, rare was it that warmth blew through dense mountain range. Ancient pine trees reached for the sky, though none would pierce rain laden clouds. Stars could be seen in empty patches of sky as if dozens of silver arrows were shot into the heavens and never fallen. Trampled leaves of autumn colors blew down from the mountains while the clouds began to cry, only increasing the multitude of small ponds amongst the pine bases. Roots ran deep and far, earthen floor almost bare entirely of foliage of any sort, save few lichens and light shrubs bearing small, red fruits. There was no moon, much to the distressed howls

Something For The Masses
There was nothing like the darkness,
Something false and harmless.
Untill one day I met a bitch,
Who was simply cold and heartless.
Something deep inside told me to choke her,
But sadness welled up and then I faltered.
Her friends yelled out and brought me pain,
For no reason but the one I was just another chain.
If you know not of whom I speak,
The lead your merry lives.
For unknown wrongs I've done to her,
I'll die a thousand times.
For once I tried to be myself and God,
He would not have it.
So I was thrown behind a cage,
To be flogged and whipped by those in rage.
One day it seemed I found a light but it was nothing true.
Dragon knows where Phoenix goes upon his flaming wings.
Over the losing island on which the Siren sings.
Dragon knows where Phoenix goes on his morning fly.
Through the mists of Avalon to rest his longed life.
Griffin follows close behind, not far from his friend.
He curls close to Phoenix, waiting for their life to end.
They live and die on Avalon.
The mist that escapes time.
Been a couple years since I wrote on here, not even sure anyone's paying attention anymore. Out of the Army, out of work. It seems no one is hiring drone operators but the market is big I hear.
I'm all but done commissioning people. Been about a year and a half give or take since I shelled out a hundred bucks and got the first sketch four months ago. Not the first time this has happened either, dropped like one fifty about nine or ten years back and then the person blocked me. It's hard to bring myself to support people these days, even knowing there are good, worthwhile artists out there.
I don't really want to rant since it seems to
I'm in Kuwait at the moment, got a 36 hour layover coming out of Afghanistan heading to the states. Also not going to home base just yet, they're sending me to Fort Benning where I wait to get a plane to Fort Stewart. Good lord they make going home complicated but you'll be in Iraq or Afghanistan in 18 hours.
I left Georgia a couple days ago for Afghanistan. I'm currently in Kyrgistan looking at the Himalayan Mountains. Leaving soon for my last leg of the trip, had a layover in Germany, too. If anyone read my last journal entry, I'm still looking for an artist. Not sure when I'll have internet again but I'll try to get it soon. Miss you guys.
