Emotional Evocation...

Emotional evocation upon finding a note in a street on a rainy day.   
 
I stumbled upon your name paper-written and escaping in the gutter,  Sodden puddle prisoned and  Disappearing  
In gravity defying spirals, water-bound smoke screens –  Hidden mirrors.  I reached out to you and regretted it.  Your ash words crumbled between my finger tips,  Fragmented letters sticking sticking, scabs on my palms,  Days later, still finding vowels under my fingernails.   
You and me, I thought,  Fading like thin-veined autumn leaves  Lost in the groundwork of a forgotten photograph

This Is a Story About Grief

Untitled in White SheetsWhat crawls beneath the skin (these sheets) is parasitic fear  I think, unclear, through all that feeds  Uncertain (yet desirous) needs.  Drink me, sweet, till sore pores cease  
To bleed, increase in subterfuge. (Not yet)  
Drowning in your haste (speak now, deluge).  Indulge yourself and read (between) the lines,  Rekindle your finds and  Humour my decadent drama  A tumour of distortion disorders.  Or at least I assume, till you resume.  (Or just leave me.)  In tremors (dormant) I lie in white sheets  Falling asleep to discordant heartbeats. Untitled in White Sheets

Stray CatsI secretly sob satin stains into my pillow  When I hear the cries of stray stalkers,  Street-ridden below my window-sill.   
Their mews rack my conscience to  
Mere skeletal slithers; I picture them,  Skinny tails crooked like question marks,  Eyes ignited by street lamp gutters  In their search for food and less  
Lonely company.  I weep for their unwanted lives.   
On a good night -  
When they’re not too loud in singing their sorrows -  
I dream of a breathing blanket over my duvet,  The bodies of feline, composed by my  
Companions now plumped by daily fe Stray Cats

The One Who Didnt Win The RaceShotgun tremors through fine boned sensory  Deprivation. Blinkered endeavours whispered.   
‘Run. Faster. Run’.   
Muscles rubs against sinew, caressing dilated  Blood vessels, the pulsating rhythm of  Heavy hoothbeats, wait, crowded voices,  Overlap in synchronic disharmony.   
‘Faster. Run. Faster’.   
Syncopated speed over the first hurdle  Breath held for the audible glass cracking drum roll.  A waterfall of metallic gravitational pull  So hard they don’t hear the splash in their  Continued cascade.   
‘Stop. Please. Sto The One Who Didnt Win The Race

Complete List

Do you watch my photography?

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 15, 2007, 2:31 PM
I have finally gotten some metaphorical bollocks and decided to make this profile for my writing only. No more portraits and vanity here.

However, I have decided to created a new profile dedicated to my portraiture, which can be found here-

~AlannaJohan-Imagery

I would implore, and appreciate, anybody who watches me for my photography to start watching this profile also/instead. I won't be offended if you wish to remove this profile from your watch list - in fact I would appreciate the opportunity to see who is interested in which side of my creative being.

I also feel it important to mention that I do appreciate every favourite and comment I get (well, except the derogatory ones, haha!) and so rather than deleting all image items in my current gallery will gradually, as I get time, move them to my scraps gallery, thus keeping them in existence.

And that's it. Thank you and wish me luck!

I am finally taking the time to plumb the depths of the literature you've posted thus far. Stunning submissions, all. However, I would like to see far more. We're still prodding one another to write, no? ;)

Hope things are well.

So far - great!

yeah, i accidentally gave her a black eye.. i didn't punch her, i joking chucked something at her at work and it hit her in the face...woops lol
we're getting on but it's hard.
But got a few dates with a new lady, and she's so awesome, had a 4hour phone conversation with her the other night, and got off the phone smiling.
hahah how cheesey am i?

Glad everythings ok with you missy :) it's weird not seeing you around.
Even weirder to see people that we used to go college with, and how much they've changed,many have had a sprog or 5.
Hope you have some time and inspiration to write,you are a jolly good writer *tips hat*
the only writing i seem to do lately is the care plans at work hehehe
i take more photos than anything now, but that's more for fun,no serious artist stuff for me.

Take care and keep smiling
