Lord of nothing
Words of lust and love are abound
yet I feel nothing either way.
Love is Hope
and hope is a road to nowhere
a bright path of destiny
Far from my iron-bound throne.
A delicious dark fruit
that I no longer can taste
that is lust
Far from this desert land of feeling.
Fuck off with your words
of love and lust,
I cannot give a rats arse about them
And neither do they have no place here
in my heart or my mind.
They are pointless as me
And as foreign and ignored as my words
and my philosophy.
Soon friends from College are getting back together,
eager to celebrate their years at Univesity.
While they have grown forwards in all fields,
I remain:
Alone
Jobless
Talentless
Feckless.
But now bitter with my self, no longer the joker.
So why on earth should I go?
yet I feel nothing either way.

...Maybe the fraternizing will spark something in You thought lost...it's a shot of maybe.
I myself abhor social events...even with good friends...too much chatter becomes a din to me...then I brave it and go and end up feeling a lot better than I thought, laughing more than my brooding mind thought possible...Talentless???
I've my doubts...and know Your Writes (glimpses of the mind)
Buck up Young man-This Write of mind paints the day grey...I know I know its England....but its Jolly OL' isn't it?

At my best I would be the joker once again, basking in the glory of gods. But at my worst would be a bitter phantom needing to talk, that I fear. And fear proves my undoing as as englishman: everybody knows the english stay calm no matter what.

Solid piece.
Viddax, you make me think of myself. I'm getting a job, if you call working for a relative for minimum wage a job and am finishing my studies. I've also got my AA meetings, they make me feel less crap about myself even if they can be daunting.
My advice, go to share honestly with them. Be a part of life.
It's good to see you.

Well thank you for that compliment. It seems somehow I wandered out of that bleak desert and into unwarranted joy.

Did it look like someone who strode with purpose and reason as if they had a place to go? Then that wasn't me. The guy blundering in circles was me.
Sometimes the answer is not to change the location but to change the look of where you are.

This was published on my birthday! Which isn't a big surprise because it's miserable, like me... Seriously, though, I rather enjoyed this, and in particular the way it moves from fantasy images ("iron-bound throne") to stark, crushing reality in the last verse.
