She was eating cookies... She was short, well at least if you measured her in human terms she was, other people easily towering over her and she was not beautiful although she was cute in a sweet, almost innocent way.
All of this dark eyes noticed in a instant, as the purple-haired elf-like man observed the tiny mage that the Sanctuary of Ilmiya had sent.
Kori had sent him to pick her up – the ex-angel voicing the request something along the lines of he could make himself useful for once and pick up the dratted mage that was costing their mutual employer so much.
Kirith had actually had an ulterior motive for going, although he had faked b
Jamaica...
It's the place where both my mother and the father I never knew were born and a place where over the years I've spent a lot of time.
It's a beautiful country - beautiful beaches, glistening seas... That's only one part of it, the part you see in the glossy brochures of the super expensive all-inclusive resorts... The touristy side...
But there's character hidden beneath the superficialness of the glossy brochure - the local buses, petty politics in small towns and beauty - beauty that's not mapped out in the lines of the beach... The Cloud Forest, the Blue Mountains, Fern Gully...
I know that there's danger - Spanish Town, hist
When we were young things were so simple,
I was the one to look out for you - Your bossy knight
You were so innocent, so happy
You were irritating but you made me laugh
So when did things change?
Was it that day when I was 11?
The day I broke...
Shattered fragments of what once was
scattering across an uncaring wind
You forgot, but I remembered
Nightmered-filled nights
beneath an uncaring mask
But you seemed happy
The taint of those days
leaving you seemingly untouched
Sparkles of hope and innocence intermixed
So when did things change?
Was it that day five years from then?
That day the day when everything changed.
Was it t
Warm,
intense,
a candle in the dark.
Your life
force
burning bright
Fragile flame
snuffed
in the prime of youth
victim of stupidity
martyr,
to a country's folly.
I think of you
when winter sun,
fail to dent
the windy chill;
and summer rain
mist my window pane.
You give me hope
when shadows paint
my spirit and
sadness drag deep inside
my soul.
Memories of sunshine
in your smile,
sustain,
my June time
years.
I think of you
when crocus,
push their heads above
the snow

with love
with faith
nurturing me:
like you would a

You promised me forever

I stand on the edge,
hands outstretched
over endless gulfs...
Eyes glitter
in muted light,
hard,
cold,
endless seas of pain...
My soul
shattered
on a jagged ledge,
lonely,
bitter,
weeping tears I cannot...
You were my friend
you understood,
a shoulder to cry on
when there was need.
Seeing worlds
I couldn't touch...
Gentle,
fragile,
wise for your years,
your future
sprawled
to a dozen tommorows.
Sparkling,
bright,
you threw it away
like the excitement in your eyes...
Now you are gone.
I am alone.
Standing on the edge,
of a gulf
I can't cross...
It is cold today, the chill wind blows through me as I stand in a sea of faces as bare fingers clutch the fragile string
A balloon for Palestine...
Around me the others wait, a mixture of January, Junes and Novembers
A balloon for Iraq...
The Novembers hold their string carefully, waiting patiently for the right moment to release their burden. January looks confused, here one might have their string looped round their wrist, there one clutches his desperately sensing its importance even as his youthful mind cannot fully grasp the reason.
A balloon for the victims of British bombs...
The Junes hold theirs impatiently, shivering as the co
"Hey Rian."
Arian looked up from his book "Hmm?" The fifteen year old had a distracted look in his soft grey eyes, sunlight glinting off his hair and bringing out the different shades of red that made up its dark red shade.
"Do you remember how we first met?" The speaker was a small delicate-looking thing with cute pixie-like features that somehow managed to look slightly exotic what with the silvery markings on its face and soft-looking, wispy silver hair, bangs falling over the long thin antennae that grew out of it's forehead and curled at the tips.
"Do you think I could forget?" Arian's voice was slightly dry. "My life seems to have tu

Ok, ok so I rarely update this thing *rueful smile*
But I've kind of been around and now I'm not.
I've been accepted onto the Microsoft Professionals Course and have decided to be disciplined and get away from any distractions. Including online ones - which means I'll be offline for 6 months.
If something is really urgent and you know me well enough, you can try e-mailing, but chances are I won't be checking my mail unless it's something to do with the course.
See you in January.

No I haven't dropped off the face of the earth though it might seem so *rueful smile* I'm still alive if not-very-active.
The 2005th kiriban is still on though and it's fairly close - just screencap and send it to me via a DA note and I'll write you a drabble on the subject of your choice :)
Still busy *rueful laugh* although I've finally finished ~ronfy (https://www.deviantart.com/ronfy) drabble so I hope she likes.
No one really seems to want me to write little drabbles for them, though I still do them if people catch my hit (next one will be the 2005th hit)
Going to briefly free in two more days and am already dreaming about being able to lie in *hasn't had much sleep recently*
