DESCRIPTION
I don't really know how to categorise this:- it's motivational in a sense with elements of different things like nature, time and the battle to change things in the past for the sake of the future. But I think different people will see it in different ways? [159 words]
AUTHOR'S OTHER TITLES (18) Bored Clouds Of A Scattered Sky (Poetry) Trying to capture the essence of boredom through nature references. Not entirely convinced I've achieved it, what do you think?! [64 words] [Nature] Cheated (Poetry) Wrote this in about half an hour, hope it doesn't tell! Inspired by Ted Hughes, and along the same lines of failed relationships as 'Distance'. Comedy next me thinks. [29 words] [Romance] Desire Of The Night (Poetry) Young Forbidden love for a lady of the night. Wrote this while keeping up the vague pretence of trying to work in a mundane office. [198 words] [Erotic] Distance (Poetry) Remember not to critcise too much- I'm a fragile soul! Have I just inadvertly thrown myself to the lions with that one? woops! [43 words] Forbbiden Light(Extended) (Poetry) Taking my initial first verse of my existing poem and fleshing it out a bit, it now resembles more obviously a popular trilogy. Please give feedback! [109 words] [Fantasy] Forbidden Light (Poetry) Quite dark and I'm not sure it reveals anything, definitely need some lighter material! [28 words] I'm Bored Of You. Can I Be Somebody Else? (Short Stories) Two alien bounty hunters are on Earth, one with a unique abiltity which could help fufil his dreams of being a present day Cassanova. The other, well... he just tries to walk straight. [2,184 words] [Comedy] Late Night Train (Poetry) Kind of my take on Jack the Ripper taking the 22.30 to London Paddington. [53 words] [Mystery] She (Poetry) A failed relationship ends in guilty tragedy. [154 words] [Relationships] Something Underneath My Bed (Poetry) Lighter than most of the other stuff I've submitted here and less abstract. [219 words] [Fantasy] Taste Of Defeat (Poetry) Something you don't see a lot of is boxing poetry, so I have attempted the defeat of a boxer here. As the saying goes, try anything once! [91 words] Taste Of The Immortal (Poetry) Maybe 'life' as a vampire isn't so rewarding after all. [281 words] [Fantasy] The Pursuit (Short Stories) A dark story that I'd like feedback on concerning the twists and vampire elements. My darkest work yet probably. [1,877 words] [Horror] Tomorrow (Poetry) If you did everything you said you would tomorrow, you wouldn't find yourself where you are today. [90 words] Tortured (Short Stories) Wrote this about three years ago as a GCSE 'Victim Writing' piece. Am annoyed with the way I finish it, think it's a bit untidy and possibly too sentimental. Still I was 16! [986 words] [Relationships] Troubled Mind (Poetry) In this poem I have tried to show the anxities of life that we feel, through images of feelings that people go through in the struggle for their own identity, and is influenced by a peroid of uncertai... [90 words] [Mind] Words.Enter.Head.Write.Something.Good. (Short Stories) The story of someone who struggles to find anything decent to write. It's epic.

[401 words] [Literary Fiction]
In To The Future J L Watts
The hot fabric of time
Casts a pale glow as it slowly finds its way
In to a pool of consciousness.
Like a red hot rod it reverberates
Churning from ear to ear a dull ache
With the unsteady movements of an alcoholic.
Detachment as colours bleach
A contest of steadfast eyelids
Determined not to reach a cheek.
Unable to adjust the patchwork of yesterday
A face looks into the sky
Longing for an elevator to freedom.
Memories swim past
Always just out of reach
As the branch breaks
Drowning in a whirlpool of thoughts
A serpentine splashes and stings
Lashing out in frustration
Swollen skin fights
A baiting stranger
Ebbing away its familiar face
Backtracking a battle
In to the tumultuous drainage system of before
An untidy mess betrayed by an outstretched hand
Relief washes over
A waterfall cascade
Down the valley and away
Scissors cut into unwanted thoughts
Which blow in the wind
Torn away pieces previously hidden in the heart
The victims of yesterday
Stay in their graves
But the embrace of tomorrow paves a new route ahead
Uncertain, unsteady
A step forward
New stitches in fabric of yet unwoven time.
