another poem

currently untitled

There's a pain left from sickness
of one shattered heart
Haunting what's left for thinkers
ripping them apart
Overzealous for their prize
seeking jealous love
They analyze the minds
of ones who've said enough

i'm sorry that i don't have a title for it yet. i don't even know if it's any good. so feedback would be good, people. please leave some comments.

poetry

i've written some poetry lately that i'd like to put on here since this journal is intended to be an outlet for me to discuss creativity. here are two of the most recent:

the dead

I spend my time
Haunting ghosts of former years
Waking the dead
To dance with past dried up tears

chlorophyll

wherefore art thou...
wear art and thou findest one cloaked in truth
the mist I call mystical
love is the soul that cannot be seen
like the wind
except by motion of clouds that surround
drifting
they do not remain the same
is it love that changes or its effects?
be the autumn breeze
that rips the leaves off the trees
the wintered tree awakens again
for love is chlorophyll
and if it is true love
you will find the beauty
nature's design and not your own
fate
and thus, your fate

that's it for now. please let me know your responses to them.

i'm back...

well, after months and months of silence, i have returned. a decent amount has happened since then in my personal life, but this online journal or whatever you want to call it is not the place to talk about it. my private life will remain just that: private.

i am about to begin rehearsals for my next show. we're going to be doing neil labute's the shape of things. the wild part about this particular production is that we will be exchanging roles. i will play one character for half the performances and another for the remaining. since there are four of us (two males and two females) there will be four total combinations to the show. it's pretty wild and will be a ton of work, but it's exciting. as far as my progress so far, i have more than half of the lines memorized for one character (who happens to be the lead) and have not yet begun on the supporting character. i feel as though i am behind, but the script is particularly difficult to memorize and am probably actually doing fairly well.

anyway, that'll be it for now. i'll try to update this journal more often. as always, thanks for listening. this is randy signing out...
