That I love you.

When autumn sun rises and kisses the night sky farewell,
Know that I love you.

When late night's breeze tickles your tender cheek pink,
Know that I love you.

As long as the winding river that takes my soul
along each gentle ridge in the river bend,

Let my love be the bridge that guides you
safely over the soft tides.

And should other hands take yours,
And should other eyes hold you
so delicately
in each gentle laugh line's crease,

Let my arms be those you drift into
when you lay your sleeping head
amongst the stars,

And let my lips be those yours,
so soft and tender,
find in the late winter's cKnow by ~jhock216

one of those momentsThere are days I want to run
screaming into the night,
but then I remember
what's down the road for me,
and I can't seem
to go anywhere but

forward.

I am
depleted
I am
careworn..

these hands,
swollen, and calloused..

but I am so in love,
tightness in my chest
that flows through me
like a deep mahogany
rich in caramel melody.

I never thought
I'd
fall this
in

love you like the yarn
loves the rosewood
in warm tones that
resonate like the
arches in Rome.

I want to sink into your arms
like a sweet melody
and it's a giant fluffy blanket
while my eyelids lower to let dreams
fill with the harmony.one of those moments by ~jhock216

Home, mvt. 1I once asked a composer,

"Where do you draw from?"
as the tidal waves of his rhythms
and his melodies crashed over my head.

Where do you draw from,
that something so strong
can come from your fingertips.
Something that speaks of a beyond,
profound as the rising sun, yet
silent as black notes on paper,
that gyrate like snowflakes
in the middle of July.

The first time I met you
I melted, just like the
snowman under those fireworks
with all those notes swirling.

I never thought I'd find you
yet there you were, waiting,
while a child ran through the house
with chopsticks, pretending
everything in sight was a drum.

when the morn grows dark and coldUnbelievable.

Here I sit, meant to be over it all,
yet just like the banks after a rain,
all those memories
keep flooding back.

Catching me off guard,
yet hardly so.
I feel like Cobb, except she lives.
The wedding is tomorrow;
I leave for orientation next weekend..
that test, those cards...
we'll see how this all pans out.

I thought of you
as the nail polish crackled
on my toes,
spreading across the surface
the same way water floods
dry desert plains, thirsty
for droplets that waited to fall;

Just like I waited for you
as the sun dropped
beneath the horizon
while crumpled leaves
danced across my feet
like ballewhen the morn grows dark and cold by ~jhock216

Stolen KissThey imprisoned her for her father's vocal arguments that android's do have souls, since he was out of reach. "Blasphemy must be punished," said the clergyman to the sounds of a slamming door and clacking lock.

Today, they mockingly toss David's broken body into her prison with her. She circles him inspecting the damage, and looking for a flicker of life. "If the spark is not yet fled...", she thinks to herself. The club that they struck him with when he leapt to her defense had separated the top of his head. David's empty, staring eyes, the clear separation of his spine somewhere internally and the gradual ooze of his hydraulic blood leavesStolen Kiss by ~Synnic

IT IS TIMESeriously.
The musical revolution of the world should, no, must be introduced into the midst of all artists here. Music being available on deviantART is something that I would have expected long ago. It is an art form that travels through the core of a person and evokes feeling of sudden realization or just sweet lulling bliss. I know it will be difficult, but it should at least be tried.
I have only come across one person of deviantART (Who is absolutely brilliant let me say) Who has been able to upload music on deviantART quite cleverly if I say so my self. You have probably heard of this awesomeness that is `RainCookie
She created this:

When I saw it, I realized just how deviantART could discover great talent such as hers! It is an original composition. Accessing music on this site needs to be made easier because we are missing out on great talents! We could have someone on deviantART who could create something as great as this:

how do you write like that?"How do you write like that?"

~~~

Imagine splitting yourself into several pieces. One piece for each character and another piece for an outsider. The biggest part of you goes where the point of view is, whether that's a character or the outsider.

Now visualize the scene. What's the "big idea"? What are the individual characters doing? Which ones are interacting? What are their personalities? Is she shy and fearful of him rejecting her? How does she act on that insecurity? Does she withdraw from him, obsess from afar, or conquer her fear and take control of the situation? Does he even notice her? Base the characters off someone real, that ahow do you write like that? by *ButterfliKissed

And so begins round two...

Mood: Lazy
Listening to: 'Dusk' by Steven Bryant

So.. into week 3 of sophomore year already... and it feels like at least a couple months have gone by haha. The first week of classes, I was more of a September kind of tired instead of a 'just got done with week 1' kind of exhausted... it was weird!

Classes so far are good.. only in two ensembles this year and they're both the top ones which means this baldy can keep her talent grant!! They're both the ensembles I wanted to make as well

happy Jami.

However the amount of bull that's already happened this year is a little ridiculous! Drama already beginning, let alone the bureaucracy here was WAAAYYYY behind at the beginning of the year and I was dropped from a couple courses for no reason. It's week three and I'm still getting that sorted out. Otherwise, it's been already but oh my god the amount of stupid the first week and a half.. my tiny bald head was about to burst into flaming confetti. BLEGH.

But I don't want to focus on all that. A lot of it got cleared up, anyways. Still need to tie up a major loose end but I can take care of that.

I've. Been. So. DRAINED. We even had a day off and I've just been so exhausted. Not to mention had a pretty intense breakdown last night but part of it was because I needed to be sleeping at the time haha.

I'm in tech classes galore this semester. Let alone the second major is kicking in. But it's WONDERFUL. My current composition assignment is to listen to the Debussy Preludes, along with studying haikus to write a duet for flute and vibraphone based on the overall mood. I'M. SO. FREAKING. EXCITED!!!!

I'm taking Electronic Music Tech though and since I can't haul all the equipment back to my dorm (that'd be a bit much), I have designated studio time for that, I'm taking string tech and high brass tech (covers trumpet and horn), I'm in the composition studio, OH and I'm in percussion studio. So, techincally three different studios, on top of lessons, ensembles, other classes... not to mention the organizations I'm in as well.. the shite hath hit the fan...

Mu Phi is absolutely wonderful so far. I feel like we've got a good year ahead of us. And all the other crap... it'll iron out. Just gotta keep moving toward sunlight and I feel like things won't be as hard as they could.

Meanwhile, time for me to collapse. Hopefully, I'll have some more poetry posted up here soon! Been feeling very moved lately, but haven't had the energy to having some versus appear.. hopefully I can fix that!

I pretty much eat, sleep, and breathe music.

In my spare time, I do find running to be quite the catharsis.

Oh, and I happen to have a soft spot for photography.

Favourite genre of music: classical, jazz, rock, alternative
MP3 player of choice: iPod
Personal Quote: "The greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words m
