The Dark Corner (NaNoWriMo Update + Poem)

     As of the 29th of November, I completed the 50,000 word requirement for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) with my new novel "The Daughter of Athena." The novel is not yet completed, and I find it ironic to say that I had just reached the exciting parts of the story. Perhaps it would be better to say that I discovered the story. Regardless, after about a month of writing, I have reached my goal, and now look to continue editing "Love: A Chaotic Insanity" and "The Beginning of the End." I have another entry of "The Wanderer's Journal" put away, ready to post, along with some poems I will most likely come to post. I am afraid that I have little else to say, and so, you will find a poem of mine below. Enjoy!

The Dark Corner

In a dark corner,

Laughing.

You and me

Against the world,

That wants to devour us,

Let's fight back.

Sometimes things are most clear,

When we can't see at all.

Your touch is beyond

Your appearance.

It's all an illusion anyways,

We don't need to see,

The lies made visual,

The lies made real.

Quiet exchanges,

As if words could reveal us to light,

The great tyrant,

The great magician.

Life's a joke,

And only in the darkness,

Can we laugh at it,

No one sees us anyways.

So here we are,

In a dark corner,

Laughing.
