Ripped

Laughing in the night.
No light. 
The empty feild beckons. 
World Cup. 
Friendship. 
Four teams left. 
Defender. 
One Touch. 
Intense pain. 
Love Causing Pain. 
Memory fade. 
Did it even happen?


And it happened again. 
Just like that.
Dreams shattered and hopes destroyed by a single touch. 
a single connection of cleat to ball. 
the goal was made, but at what cost? 
Will life ever be the same?

The Perfect Facade

The rays of the dawning sun pierce the darkness, driving the demons to the farthest corners of the earth, bringing light and hope as it rises. Color splits the air, as black fades to grey. The first hues of pink and orange cross over... Slowly followed by a creeping orb of flaming tounges of fire. Hotter than the deepest pits of Hell, comes the color bringing, life giving star of life. As it blazes a path across the sky, the air begins to ripple and flow. Morphing from the black of night to the vibrant hues of day. Painting a picture of perfection with the leafy greens, the shadowy blues, the bright yellows, reds, purples, and pinks. Seemingly a perfect little world. 





But creeping into the picture comes an object. A large ugly thing, grey in color, oval in shape with protuding fins. Swimming through the blue above the green. From its belly drops an object. Slowly tumbling to the ground, spinning end on end. Impact. Explosion. Fire. Hell. nothingness. ash. black. death. the picture of perfection, now the epitome of destruction. 

In a split second, this seemingly perfect picture is wrecked and destroyed. The catostrophic effects of the ballooning orange and reds, that result in an overall bleak greyness that is only peirced by a single ray of light. The last hope shining through everything, fighting past the devestation and promising color again. The sun survived.

Fading Fast


This thing that I used to have, this living, viable, breathing thing. This thing that was pulsing in my hands and full of life, is slowly dieing. The light is fading, The darkness is closing in. There in the depths you can see the barely visible light, pulsing slower and slower. And then, the darkness completly closes in. The object dies. So now instead of this bright vibrant object, I now hold a cold, dead, hollow shell. A shell that is turning to dust and begining to slip through my fingers. A dust that is being blown in all directions by the wind with no hopes of ever becoming viable again. and now its gone. the remnants of what I held, only a memory.
