I'm sorry I haven't been around in a while. I just wanted to stop by and let whoever reads this know that I won third place in the "All Mixed Up" contest with my entry "Freedom vs. Peace" (which you may find at the bottom of this post).
The contest was hosted by ~mydearyouaresoyou on deviantArt. Here is the link to her profile:
Now HERE is a link where you can check out the other contest entries if you like:
That's about all I can call an update for now, except for the fact that I will try to post things here more often. Also I will soon include a some sort of bar with parts of my deviantArt gallery (as soon as I find out how to do that), which will be at the very bottom of the blog.
Thank you for reading this and have a nice day!
Below are the writing piece and the photograph that I used for the contest(according to the contest's guidelines):
I am breathing in the fresh afternoon breeze. My eyes are trailing along the gentle rays of liquid sunlight that are seeping through the clouds and soaking in my pores. Above us, the feathery wildflowers are blowing in the wind, sending flashes of white and pink and orange to dance and swirl around my eyes. Here, everything is beautiful, everything flows. Everywhere is peace.
I run my fingers through your hair and feel my skin coming alive under your hands. Your smell is sweet and the humming sounds that emerge from your throat linger on my neck, making me want to stay here forever. But I know I cannot do that.
My wings are fixed permanently into my soul. If I try to hide here any longer, I will erode my heart by staying still and break my spirit until I am nothing more than a miserable, empty carcass wasting away under your kisses and your touch. Your kind words will sound like insults and our lovely home be prison bars. And I will have no one to blame but myself for not saving my soul.
I can't stay. I won't stay.
My world is one of chaos. Your world is one of order. Here in paradise there is no room for all my fire and destruction. I love this peace, but I love my freedom more. I love you, but for you I can exist no more. I could fight, but it is not my place to shatter your peace by trying to retain it.
It's odd beyond odd,
How, in the eve of our separation, the absence of a kiss in the cold, unprotecting night could bring us together so irrevocably. Bound to each other in mind and soul and heart.
It's strange beyond strange,
How, now that you are here again, the presence of a kiss in this warm, gentle daylight cannot hold the pieces together. And today, with a kiss, I do us apart.
.
Congratulations on your win!
