Scarlet- A Cautionary TaleOnce upon a time, in a small town you’ve probably never been to, there was a lovely young woman who lived with her mother on a farm.  Most likely she had a respectable name like Jenny or Claire, but because of her luxurious red hair, everyone called her Scarlet; and because of her beauty she was spoiled by all who knew her.     When Scarlet was eighteen, her mother said to her, “It’s time for you to make your own way in the world.  This town is too small for a girl with your looks.  Your grandmother has agreed to let you stay with her in the city.”     Scarlet was Scarlet- A Cautionary Tale

Winter DreamsHis world is clothed in blue, gray, and white-  profoundly silent in its isolation  
and filling him with a bittersweet melancholy.  He feels the burn of the gin on the back  
of his throat, and he swallows quickly.  Who is this woman, he wonders dimly,  this May Queen with a December gaze?  The ice blue eyes peer from beneath lowered lashes  and half remembered winter dreams  rise unbidden from her depths.  He feels a stirring- a faint flutter of the heart.  She has flowers in her hair, the pale gold of it  speaking of lands with dark and sunless winters.  She is contradiction Winter Dreams

Love in WinterWinter love is meant to warm-  a bed of embers on the darkest,  longest night of the year  It covers, envelops  like the quilt of snow that blankets  
the earth and trees.  Sharp with heat instead of ice  But the love that warms in January  can stifle in July-  Our winter love has burned  
the oxygen from my lungs,  
reduced me to dust when once,  
I stood strong and proud in my skin  It thawed my frozen spirit,  but couldn't stop there.  
The fires gnawed and bit and ate  my pretty virginal heart  until only the ash of memory remained.  Beware of winter Love in Winter

  • Mood: Winter Downs
  • Reading: This Side of Paradise by F Scott Fitzgerald
  • Drinking: Turkish coffee
Does anyone else out there ever feel like you're losing valuable time? Like now is the time to be amazing and creative and productive, but instead you're just... stagnating? Like all the unimportant and mundane aspects of your life are slowly devouring any real ambition/creativity you may once have possessed?

This is begining to read like a Proust novel, but I'm serious. I know this is probably boring the one or two people who actually look at my journal, but I can't fight this sensation of wasting my life. I'm sure tons of college students feel like this, but... well, I'm not used to it.

It probably doesn't help that I've been reading loads of F Scott FItzgerald and Hemingway, who both have that melancholic nostalgia for days past. Still, at least Fitzgerald put a novel out by 24. I'm nowhere near that.

Aside from my paranoia about losing time, I've been well, and I hope you all have too. I have a few new poems, so please check them out and let me know what you think. Comments make me smile!
