Chapter Eight

The souls of the sky The birds sweeping through clouds They look down Never fearing the height They become safe within the wind Always being guided and carried On a day of sunlight and gentle breezes The eyes of a million look down Venture into the nooks and crannies They see the beauty of land and water It mixes together to give them their portrait Even if it is beautiful though They never want to land On a day of rain and strong gales The people really do scream with terror And the ones in the sky only ride with the wind It reminds them that they are the ones who fly Who don’t drown away in the reality of land and wate

Chapter Seven

The light far above me, What rays I can see, They fall through the water, And fill me with glee. I mourn that I'm bound, As if I was chained, To the dark and the deep, Forever restrained. The pressure above me, And pressure below, Command my existence And force me down low. I wonder, "What danger? What evil? What fear?" What dire thing lurks Upon that frontier? What is there indeed, Above the big ocean? What temper? What tides? What climate? What motion? Why should I heed it, My tingling spine? Should I fight the pressure Would glory be mine? When I glimpse the sunshine It fills me with pain. It's promise of beauty

Chapter Six

I see him watching me, needing me but I can't stay before we touch I always have to run away I need the freedom of the skies the beauty, though it isn't mine and I forever fall I know this for I see it all I see that he is bound to me where I am come unbound I am tied to him in dreams but cannot wait there's no other way, it seems He is beauty solid and fair when I stride upon the wind I'd go to him unknowing but I could not return again I'd be trapped lost from this better way caught and held by my past If my heart stops for another I won't last Tears in the night a smile through the day as changing as the sea thi

Literature

Chapter Five

Lips parched Head lost in fog Her smile still guides me If only I could find the words She is broken So far beyond repair Yet she smiles just for me If only I could find the will I am lifted up While she falls down This smile is killing her If only I could find the fear I lack structure and rhyme Only making sense in time Our smile is rising If only I could find the hope Her life flew apart When her man could not fit the seems Her smile at his grave was true If only I could find the lie These things left unsaid The love I want to give you Your smile was never meant for me If only I could return your heart.

Chapter Four by Written-From-Memory, literature

Literature

Chapter Four

Seeing through her eyes The look of fear she gives The world looks by And she observes it all The path she takes Leads her to what she loves And sometimes To what she wants to run away from I wish from time to time That I could take away the doubts That I could hold her From dropping off the cliff into the sea It’s a process she lives by To return to the place of dreams And drift up into the sky And she’ll fall again Back down to Earth In the form of a girl Bitterly living life And loving only once She’ll give hope to me And then she’ll leave To search the oceans For her true purpose I wish I was he

Literature

Chapter Three

Standing. Here in your life Living through your glassy eyes Your beauty pierces my flesh like a thousand sharp knives My soul does not lie… I live for your presence It is the only reason for my existence... Just to be beside you and feel the impact of our internal energies Our physics...our chemistries I wish I was the sun that caresses your gorgeous face Shining upon you ever so gently, so brightly Like some sort of angel, heavenly laced But from another universe...you came into me Compelling these alien emotions to erupt within I wish I was the moon Guiding you through your darkest night I watch you drift into unconscio

Literature

Chapter Two

I am an ocean. I drift without aim. I live without purpose. I'm always the same. It's nice to relax And hear nature's song. I just want to listen While I float along. When I met a river That showed me a route, It gave me a goal Worth my pursuit, I chased my ambition. Through rapids I fought, But found that my future Was not what I thought. I was taken away To be part of a cloud, A vaporous piece Of a heavenly shroud. Until it got heavy And cast me aside. I fell to the Earth But I never died. Instead I met others Who'd fallen like me. We danced on the pavement And puddled with glee. We traveled the world Through pi

Chapter One by Written-From-Memory, literature

Literature

Chapter One

I wish I knew what it felt like To be an ocean With waves cascading in rhythm and rhyme To have a tide that is high for once Instead of the low I know all the time I wish I knew what it felt like To be a river Easily swayed by a gust of air Sometimes rapid, sometimes placid But perpetually going somewhere I wish I knew what it felt like To be a raindrop Descending from the clouds Losing identity in the puddle With a crash upon the ground I wish I knew what it felt like To be a tear Streaming softly from your eyes I could stand for gladness or sadness But I'd be standing somewhere in your life

All about 'Written From Memory'

0 min read

About the club: 'Written From Memory' is the title of a project I wrote awhile back that was sort of a 'concept album' where every piece is linked together in either theme or emotion to tell one story... It is my goal to try to attempt the same thing but instead of one writer, it be a group of writers who collaborate on individual pieces that make up one singe story. The club (if anyone joins and participates) will start off with one poem...and from there whomever writes the best follow-up get's their piece posted as the next chapter...and so it goes, on and on... Rules: Each piece must relate to the previous, either directly or indirect
