On Mourning -- Poem

 Author's Note- This is a very recent one, of which i think is one of my best. This one was published in my school's newspaper as well. I actually wrote this one entirely in my head on a drive home from my therapist's office and is about the girl mentioned in Fool and Letter 8(I told you she would come up a lot in my more modern work.) This one is really sad though, so I wouldn't blame you for skipping it.


On Mourning


I mourn the fool who was forgotten

I mourn the flower that never got to bloom

I mourn the gifts never gotten

I mourn the love brought to doom


I mourn the fool left to rain

Him and his sad drooping flower

I Mourn the fool and all his pain

Standing, waiting for the never-hour


I mourn the words of love spoken

I mourn the futility of his fight

I mourn the heart crushed and broken

The fool crying for his lost light


I mourn the forsaken fool

For the fool fallen for false love

For the fool left to a fate so cruel

As he holds the wings of his clipped dove

Mission Statement

  Hello Blogger, I'm BiggieCheese and I have rats in my brain... Well, not literally of course, but i think everyone has some kind of rat in their brain, that little squeak that pushes you to do stupid things and say stupid things, like sending a late night text to your ex asking them to come back, or just shoveling cheese down your throat at four in the morning(one of those this actually happened to me, Ill let you figure out which.) But these are the products of my rats, mostly written works and poetry I think, with the occasional philosophical rambling about the nature of death and how it interacts with the nature of consciousness and sentience(stay tuned for that ungodly mess.) That's what this blog really is for, to share the works that no one else cared to see, so i might as well scream it out from the rooftops, bound to be one sorry soul listening right? I'd like to thank a good family friend for this idea though before any real posts. She gave me this idea with a he...

Letter 8 -- Short Story

  Author's note-- This one is, in my opinion, my best work yet. It was written earlier this year after I put on a classical music playlist and locked in so hard I only was conscious again when the playlist ended. This story also got a girl to fall in love with me, although that story doesn't have a happy ending that i will not go into yet, but you'll see bits and pieces of it throughout some of my modern work although that's a story for another time. Letter 8 NOTE TO SELF: This letter appeared the day after your (my? our?) birthday. I have no memory of these events, but the letter touches on things no one should know about. I accidentally almost threw this letter out this morning, but I stopped at the last second. This letter is important, though I don’t know why. Letter 8  This letter was given to you, and you don't remember who gave it to you, do you? Every year you are given a letter, every year you forget, and every year I find the letter carelessly thrown in t...
