10/11/2008 - My Own Audience
Posted by Silver Wind
I want to curl up and die
but then I lie
I do not really wish to die
it is just the kind of thing
someone like me likes to say
though only in my head
where I put on my own plays
an audience of myself
let the rest of the world
think I am far more serious
you see, I seek not attention
for I wait
untill I am on the only one
looking
and then I suffer
alone
and in silence
but at my own comand.

10/9/2008 - The Scarlet Satin
Posted by Silver Wind
The Scarlet Satin
Through the gauze
a touch of satin
upon my skin
a kiss of crimson
I cannot escape
My vision an amber haze
while my breath is stifled
falling away; the muslin
unwraps slowly, revealing
a corpse within
The smell, smokey
while I inhale
a wisp of the funeral
shroud, fluttering effervesces
My fingers grasp
to unravel the strands
but each cord a tie
to eternity
Close my eyes
and descend
while the veil
embraces me.

10/7/2008 - Empty Space
Posted by Silver Wind
Empty Space
This is space
it sits, waiting to be filled
you can fill it
a commanding
empty presence
It does not speak
but stares
with unblinking eyes
it does not flinch
but make you shrink back
It is intimidating
daunting
the way you know
you will be expected to do something
with it
Oddly it does not sit still
as you think it would
you do not witness its movement
but you feel it
as some thing moving inside of you
And you know
you are being called
why have you not yet
done anything
with this empty space

10/7/2008 - The Unforgiveable
Posted by Silver Wind
I do not know what is wrong with me, yes, I know there are a lot of things wrong with me, but there is one particular thing of which I am speaking of right now, and that is the fact that for some reason I have such a strong, vile loathsome reaching to cheating. I know the majority of most people are disapproving of it, but for me, I really take it personally, I am deeply offended, and I myself have not in fact ever been cheated upon, so it makes no sense. I respond to it as if it was something that personally affected me, even if it involves complete strangers. Like if I find out someone was unfaithful, read something in someone's blog talking about some affair they had, or something of the sort, even if I do not know anything else about them, I will wish horrible things upon them because of that. I am absolutely convinced that it must have to do with some past life experience I have had, because my reaction to it, does not make sense to me. If a complete stranger betrays their spouse or significant other, who I also do not know, then it really should not ignite a feeling of murderous rage within me, and yet it does. I even hate it when it happens in books with fictional characters, whenever I sense one character is going to cheat upon another I get in instant feeling of dread and disgust.

10/4/2008 - Unexpected Surprises
Posted by Silver Wind
Saturday nights can prove to be quite amusing and interesting TV wise, as well often the weakens are completely dead for anything decent on TV, but while I am flipping through the channels desperately looking for something that will do well enough to just play in the background, I often stumble upon some little curiosity that I normally would never have found or watch, but for lack of anything else I figure why not. So tonight I cam across this movie of which I have never heard of before called Nemesis Games, and well so far it does seem to be rather interesting.

10/4/2008 - The Morning After
Posted by Silver Wind
The Morning After
First I open one eye
slowly, almost painfully
with just as much care
I open the other eye,
for a while I only stare
So this is what the next day
feels like, numb at first
but gradually feeling
begins to reawake
I am aware of things,
of skin and muscles
the moving of each limb,
yes, I am still alive
Memories return to the mind
movement becomes slow,
left in a space of waiting
for answerers to come
Was it all just a dream
or a nightmare,
I feel again like myself
but are things changed
perhaps forever

10/4/2008 - All in a rush
Posted by Silver Wind
All in a rush it hits at once
there is no more hiding
where are there words
they fail the most
when you are endlessly trying
All in a rush it hits at once
no longer can you try and pretend
once when you thought you had made amends
I know these words are crap
What do they mean
nothing real just empty blubbering
what is thier purpose
to speak,
when you try and discover some truth
you hold back right when you have reached the peak
No breaking free
no reveal
locked inside yourself
what do you feel
Falling away
it begins to peel
like skin
now that it comes
you still fool yourself and wonder
which is true
and which is false
Is it all just a game
are you real
or made of parts
hewn and shaped
but by your own construction
how many fake emotions
have you molded from the clay
Yet what do you know
of your own feelings
hiding away
it was like a joke
but now
it might be bithed
into something more
But maybe this is the stage
are you seeking something
for yourself in this very moment
do you stand
Have you been made a fool
and so played the part of the fool
fooled others inadverntently
your deception was not intended
but was it to quickly made
What now is the purpose of this
but to hear yourself
speaking into the air
to be something more
Give it up
and chocke it down
is it yourself that you fool

10/3/2008 - Autumn's Calling
Posted by Silver Wind
Autumn's Calling
I can feel the chill of the wind
the sound of the leaves rustling,
like the steps of a ghost
for here there is nothing,
But a sense of loveliness
in the crisp fresh breeze
with air starting to chill,
it is the scent of Autumn
that lingers on.
Beauty of decaying fire
littered here and there
the tingling of rain which
rests heavy in the air.
Dampness so near to the touch
awakened in this rejuvenation
that I might wander like a ghost
and only the leaves will crinkle
in my wake.
I seem to slowly fade
in the bright burning beauty
surrounding all around me
whispering in the rain drops
and breath of the wind,
So who would see me,
made into a simple shade
while I pass these cool stone roads
so sweetly caressing falls new
sensations teetering between
life and death.

10/2/2008 - Stained Glass
Posted by Silver Wind
Stained Glass
Beneath this layer of dust
there still lives a heart
faintly beating, not wholly
forgotten
Still in the fading light
a breath is caught
when the eyes are awakened
to what may again be wrought
It begins only as a faint
glimmer, something yet left
to catch the descending
rays
Illuminating, slowly dancing
across strands of spun spider
webs, colors thought to have
dulled are quickened with
new found life
Watch as it begins to unfold
gently at first, but than
subliminal, such vibrancy
it may have only just been
set
So these old buildings sit
forsaken, left to rot and mold
while within they hide their secrets
with no one to witness
A window that is the soul
awakens the gloom
painted anew each morning
by a stroke of the sun
to glow with what only they
know.

1/10/2008 - SECOND HEARTBEAT
Posted by BMW
We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing,
We all know what to do but no one does it,
Now this time has passed and full of regret,
Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone,
When they get back, it won't be the same,
never be the same,
My life, you've always been there,
Now you're gone and my heads spinning,
Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past,
Moving on your time has run out,
Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait,
Wasting away once again, once lived as friends,
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life,
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night,
Never will I forget you, and all the memories past,
So rarely I get to see your face,
Growing I looked to you in guidance.
We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me,
To me you were my life,
To me you were my soul companion,
Now you are so far away,
Nothing can take away the time and the memories we had,
Come back - to the days when we were young
Come back - to the days when nothing mattered
to the days when nothing mattered
And I feel time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life,
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life,
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.

10/1/2008 - Stop letting the Chruch dictate laws
Posted by Silver Wind
After I gave some sass to my gay friends out there, it is time for me to come back to the other side again. All it took was listening to some anti-gay ignoramuses on the radio to get me all fired up, and while I still believe individual churches still have the right to refuse gay marriage I do not think they have the right to determine the laws.
Here is what I think. Personally I do not think Gay Marriage should be put to vote. I think it should just be a given, than in the United States, Gay Marriage is legal, period. End of story, don't like it, too bad. Now why would I, who is often spouting for freedom and rights even for people who I do not agree with hold this view?
Because last time I checked there is suppose to be this little thing called separation of church and state, and the primary reason why Gay marriage isn't legal in the majority country is because of religion. Period end of story. A discriminatory law is being allowed in the the USA because of the views of one particular religion. In the issue of Gay Marriage religion is being given power over the government and the citizens.
99% of all arguments against Gay Marriage are purely religious, and 99% of people who are against gay marriage are so on the grounds of their religious belief.
So the government needs to just step in here and say screw you religion, this is not a Papal Country, we are not run by the church, and we are no longer going to allow a religious organization propagate laws that go against the constitution of freedom and equality for all.
I think there needs to be more atheists in movement. Because from what I can see there is no plausible non-religious reason to be against gay marriage. Religion can still have their own personal individual rights, but I am tired or religions being the base of allowing bigotry laws within the country.
I defy anyone to produce a convincing, intelligent argument against Gay Marriage, which has absolutely no grounds in religion whatsoever. I have yet to hear it made.

9/30/2008 - Lucifer's Lamnet
Posted by Silver Wind
Lucifer's Lament
Lucifer´s Lament
Whispers in my ear
the a bird of midnight spoke
a little taste of shadow
for the moons power would invoke
Upon flaming wing he rose
light was his name
but stolen with a blow
upon broken wings he falls
All feathers stripped away
I hear the distant music
when I pray, all sad songs
for the injustice
How one could not forgive
when a slave stands
upon their own to break
from tyrant masters
and soar free
Now the air grows cold
passion burning in the eyes
does he too not feel
the true victimized
Vilified by the weak
who fear to rise from their knees
he shelters those who break away
to find their own voice.

9/29/2008 - New On-line Bible: this raises the standard
Posted by Martin Burch
Well, they have done it. The innovative and hard-working folks at Logos Bible Software have released their on-line Bible, and my tests on it show it to be an outstanding resource. There is a long list of translations available to search (including original language critical texts). I think it is awesome and will be the top standard for what an on-line Bible should be. Check it out! go to http://bible.logos.com

Posted by BMW
words escape me as much as time confunded me in our last memorable moment of intimacy. thoughts cant pacify my insatiable desire to reverse the course of time, as fervent dreams parade through in fantastical sequences of fairy tale endings- it was either entirely fastiduous falsified thinking or a immoral consequence on her endeavour in a selfish demeanour. you know who you are; your signs of maturity in youth coursing through your veins as you ventured into unchartered waters; even beating age long cliches en route to a really touching display of emotion. i was too dumbstruck that day, oh alas i was far too much in lagging disarray, still clinging on to my immaturity, my slow transition to adulthood. on that day, that day the cake was given to be to eat it; the day the stage was set, the curtains rolled open and a fanfare being played; i should have took centrestage, and held your hand aloft to the heavens in nodes of bliss euphoric in pure joy. for a gem you really are, and i never met anyone so valuable and so priceless.
the day i seeked fresh pastures, i squandered a life of lush meadows of greenery.
oh ye fateful day, ill recollect till the skies turned grey.
its a special day for you today.
all i can say is;
if i can turn back time,
i would have taken your hand,
and walked along into the sunset.
我受够了等待,你所谓的安排
到底多久多久才来
你总是要我乖,慢慢计划将来
我想依赖却你都不在
应该开心的地带
你给的全是空白
一个人假日发呆找不到人陪我看海
我想你应该明白却一直都进不来
你说给我的伤害我是真的很难释怀
终于看开爱回不来,我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开,哭着求我留下来
终于看开爱回不来我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开,宁愿没出息求我别离开
你总是要我乖,慢慢计划将来
说的未来到底多久才来
过去怎么安排,你该给的信赖
我的眼泪却一直掉下来
看我脸上的苍白,看到记忆慢下来
过去甜蜜在倒带
只是感觉已经不在
过去你给的期待,被我一次次摔坏
已经碎成太多块,要怎么拼凑跟重来
终于看开爱回不来而你总是太晚明白
最后才把话说开哭着求我留下来
终于看开爱回不来我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开宁愿没出息求我别离开
喔～～～～～～
终于看开爱回不来而你总是太晚明白
最后才把话说开哭着求我留下来
终于看开爱回不来我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开宁愿没出息求我别离开
离开～
啦啦～
告别从前的爱
求我别离开

9/29/2008 - A word to my Gay friends
Posted by Silver Wind
Anyone who reads my blog, probably knows by know that I totally support Gay Marriage, and Gay Rights.
Gay people, I love you, and I support you, but you have got to stop acting like A-holes, because believe me, that is not doing you any favors. You don't get to go around spouting about your own rights and freedoms, while trying to deny other people their own rights and freedom. Not everyone has to embrace your choices, and accept your lifestyle. Legally they cannot do anything to discriminate against you, but they are still entitled to their own personal beliefs and within their own churches they are allowed to have their beliefs and you do not have the right to infringe upon that.
I was just listening to the radio about how churches that refuse to perform gay marriage ceremonies are being threatened under lawsuits, and how Gays are trying to sue to be allowed into religious sectors and organizations which do not support or agree with their life style.
If you want to get married, than great, I wish you the best, I totally agree you should be allowed to do that, but if you go to a church and they tell you they don't want to marry you as a gay couple because it is against their beliefs, while I personally do not agree with Christian Conservatism, and Religious Bigotry, it is their right to hold those beliefs, and within their own church it is their right to act upon their beliefs. Just because you have the right to be married, does not mean you have the right to force a church to perform the service. Just as you are allowed to have the freedom to choose to get married, and to live the lifestyle you want. They also have a freedom to choose their own personal beliefs and to decide they do not agree with your lifestyle.
Even if a particular church refuses to marry you, you have other options to get married, you are not being prevented from your right to marry by a churches refusal to perform the service. You can go to a judge, or find a more liberal church.
But trying to say you have rights and freedoms, that you than want to deny other people from having, is not cool, and is not going to earn you any favors.
There was another story about a wedding photographer who refused to photograph a gay wedding because it was against their beliefs, and so they are now being sued.
Again, not cool. Guess what, they have the right to feel that way. Stop trying to force everyone to accept you. On your wedding day, why would you want that sort of negative karma and energy anyway? Of someone being there grudgingly and resentfully, and not really sharing in the celebration with you.
Wouldn't you prefer to just find another photographer, their is no shortage of wedding photographers, I am sure you can find someone who would be more than happy to do it of their own free will. And all around, wouldn't that be better? To have someone there because they really want to be there?
Just the way you have rights, other people have rights to, even if they disagree with you.
So I love you guys, and agree you should have all the same legal rights and freedoms as anyone else, and that legally you should not be discriminated against. But sometimes you need to take a few deep breaths step down from your high horse and be a little bit more of a mature adult, and realize maybe other people have their own rights too, and you should not try to infringe on the rights of others, while you are fighting for your own rights.
