Favorite Quote:
'You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair - the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page.'

Stephen King

Eternity is set in my eyes.
Throwing chaos and knowledge at the world.
I fly above you now with the ancient wind beneath my wings. I whisper into your immature dreams and say:
“Robbed of my innocence. No more time to play. Now is your time to either leave or stay. Come with me and be re-birthed. Forevermore an innocent child. Though I have been burned- I am stronger than the flames. Come with me for I am the immortal phoenix.”

Short. Simple. Sweet. I like it. Oh and you can't forget the air of mystery and timelessness, that sense of eternity. Very well composed and it seems like you put a lot of effort into it.
