The Room I Sit In - by Sarah H
The Room I Sit In
Hitting me like a smack between the eyes, a thick, musty atmosphere, heavy with scents of age, Italian cooking and Dior Poison. Binding my head, it induces an intense numbness and I struggle to keep my eyes open.
From what I can see, an equally heavy golden haze covers the room like a mantle. Vision blurred, I see fire pokers, charred, burnt black. I go to the lit fire - I am too small to see my face in the glass above. Looking around, many things are out of place, since she likes to prepare things beforehand. A large creeping plant's leaves, like arms, stretch out at my fatigue as I compete to stay awake. Outside, winter
Opening the whitewashed doors
To a dazzling sun
Was all I needed to
Bring the warmth
the energy
and the light back onto my face.
Backing away slowly
From the timeless inevitability
That came scarily soon.
The shadows rush by in whirls
Of memories
Of expectations
Of indecisive gestures.
Is there a rut to be stuck in -
Patterned by repeated kisses,
Rekindled passion
And an odd feeling of exteriority?
Who really knows?
Your-self is something evanescent,
Ethereal
And ever-changeable.
Overcome by enjoyment
Undermined by definition.
Lost in this wasteland

Okay I decided to trawl through all the deviations and messages I've acrewed over the last few months, and realised that it's over 2 years since I signed up. So time for a new [annual] log entry. And here it is. Uni in less than 3 weeks, wooh. A-levels were alright. Got lots of pics from Europe I ought to play about with.
*End*
Well I've just realised that its a year on Monday since I signed up, and I had yet to post a single Journal Entry. So here goes:
Spent today doing random schoolwork, playing on Photoshop CS2, Apophysis 2.04 [Beta], watching ROME on DVD, and generally being bored. =D
Went to *121divided121's http://121divided121.deviantart.com/ and hung about as well. Well I hope you all apreciate this journal entry - and who knows I may even upload one before the nest 361 days are up.
Ciao everyone.
