Love Thing

Filed under: Creative Writing, Errata, Observations — @ 9:03 pm

I am wrapped in an aural cocoon in the belly of this giant silver intestine, hurtling along the track towards my destination with all the agonising slowness of a glacier. My heart thunders in my chest like a hummingbird the size of a helicopter. The anticipation! The choking power of my desire silences every competitor. My thoughts leaping one after the other from my mind, are scything through the dark night like spears forged of light.

My body is filled with longing. Desire inflates my muscles to the point of explosion. My skin screams for her touch and cries out memories of yesterday. Everywhere her hands have touched is swept with waves of needles. My fingers ache with emptiness. I shut my eyes and try to rein the stallion within, but am no match for the power of my love. The attempt is half-hearted, admittedly, because there is no true desire in me to slake the pull towards her, only to endure. To outlast circumstance, and prove fate. I clench my jaw; it seems as though my voracious skin will tear free of my flesh and go racing ahead to reach her more quickly.

It seems unfair, at times, to focus my powerful desire on her, to target this girl and unleash the unrestrained force of my heart on her. Like pouring the atomic fury of the sun into a single light bulb. I feel as though I would do just that, by placing my hand on hers, my lips to her lips, she would be consumed by the inferno I am stoking within. Even by merely locking my gaze, arcs of electric energy would burst forth from me to find purchase in her eyes. But hold my gaze she does, and my hands, and wrap me in her arms and draw me even closer. She accepts the challenge that is my love, and the fire that I bring.

Happiness ripples over my skin like cool waters of absolution. I smile as though I am already in her arms, the tide surging forward to spill from my eyes in tiny waves of infinite ecstasy.

  3. Why don’t you tell him exactly what words and topics to write while you are at it, Ruksak? *rolls eyes*

  4. Vittra – I have! And don’t tell me I shouldn’t – because we all should – we really should – despite the distance between our camps.

  5. She’s going to go ballistic when she reads that one Ruk. heheh.

  6. Everyone should do what you ask for, Ruksak? or could it be that you are completely devoid of any basic understanding of just why this particular place might exist? Has it occurred to you that Jax might prefer to write for himself, for his own reasons? No one “should” write a specific thing just because someone such as yourself demands it, or because you do not enjoy what you are reading.

    You are under no obligation to return, if you don’t get any joy out of the entries. Instead of complaining about how Jax (or anyone else) needs to follow your wishes, why don’t you start writing the things you want to read? It isn’t Jax’s, or anyone else’s job to make you happy when you want it.

    Learn that sometime.

  7. Vittra – steady – my use of the word ‘please’ – albeit elongated and intoned in a whine – negates the functional possibility of my statement being a ‘demand’.

    Also, it was meant as a trite piece of humour.

    However, I find your tone combative, humourless and patronising – just as I intentionally replicate in this response.

    Now – since we are on a advice roll, allow me:

    Why don’t you ask Jax how he feels about my comments? Why don’t you see if they offend him as much as they do you? Why don’t you see encouragement (in any form) for what it is?

    As for your comment I have never come across such a needly, pretentious, presumptious set of words in a comment. Really – you have a lot more than I do to learn sometime.

  8. PS – I do write the things I want to read for fuck’s sake!!!!!

    AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

  9. Why don’t you ask Jax how he feels about my comments? Why don’t you see if they offend him as much as they do you? Why don’t you see encouragement (in any form) for what it is?

    Who said that I have not done those things already? You are also sorely mistaken if you believe I am speaking on behalf of Jax. He is a big boy, he doesn’t need me to tell his opinion for him.

    This isn’t the first time you have asked people to do things just to make yourself happy, just because you have wanted it, either. You are needy, whiney and demanding as far as I am concerned, regardless of how much denial you cake onto your responses. You also crave attention.

    Go and have a cookie, Ruksak.

  10. No Ruksak can’t have a cookie them cookies are for some one else ;) (this is a joke in no way intended to butt into the fight)

  11. Vittra – Are you coming on to me?


    Comment by RuKsaK — April 9, 2006 @ 2:15 pm

  12. Oh come on.. There’s a cat fight and no one is cussing.. What the fuck..


    Comment by Prick — April 9, 2006 @ 7:38 pm

  13. Prick – fuck you – you shit-filled cunt.

    Is that alright?


    Comment by RuKsaK — April 9, 2006 @ 8:28 pm

  14. Tsk.. Sweet nothings will not get you into my pants sweetie. However, I wasn’t involved in the cat fight. I’m just stoking the flames.


    Comment by Prick — April 9, 2006 @ 10:26 pm

  15. Personally I enjoyed reading it. =]


    Comment by Shavedbird — April 12, 2006 @ 1:28 am

  16. Vittra – Are you coming on to me?

    Never in your life would I be coming onto you.

    He ‘cussed,’ Prick. He cussed.


    Comment by Vittra — April 14, 2006 @ 1:31 pm

  17. Like what.. Twice.. That’s not cussing. That’s the immoral equivalent of a cuss word not having an orgasm.

    Not.. Fun..

    Ruksak: Vittra, are you fucking coming on to fucking me? The Fucking Sak? FUCK..

    Vittra: Never in your fucking life would I ever be fucking coming onto you ‘The Fucksak’. Fuck no. Fuck fucketty fuck fuck FUCK no.

    See.. Fun.. So fun I need to clean up the mess I made on the monitor.

    Excusez-moi.

    ‘Like pouring the atomic fury of the sun into a single light bulb.’

    I’m writing this on a post-it next to all my other post-its.

  20. Thanks guys for the comments and entertainment. I’ll get back to writing soon, when uni lets up a little. (If that ever happens)


    Comment by Jax — April 26, 2006 @ 10:04 am
