Written at 1.20 a.m. on the twenty-second of July. I just finished reading
the sweetest (and first complete...hell, first PERIOD...x.x;;) scanlation
in my life called COLOR. *sighs* It was so sappy...but I loved it. Heh,
surprised, ne? Then again, lately I've been finding myself wallowing more
in the sappy genre.... Hmm...who knows? Maybe this great angst writer is
beginning to disappear...

Heh. Great, my ass. X_xU

Anyway... After reading COLOR, I was feeling a "MUST WRITE" mindset coming
on, so I did. ^-^ And here's the result! XD

...It seems very....ASIAN to me...o.o;; Scary, but just the way that it
has the slightly "Incoherent, but I know what's being said" kinda tone.
Just the way that we Asians like to say something "wrong" that makes
perfect sense...or something of the sort. I don't know how to explain it.
^^;; It just....is. Y'know? (Oh, and the willow tree thing at the end. XD)
If you're Asian or dabble in our cultures enough, then I think you know
exactly what I'm talking about. ^-^

If it's bad...I'd blame it on the sap. *nods fervently* X3

Enjoy!

"Give Me Your Hand"
by Damascus Ochre

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Give me your hand
You tell me in silence
The darkness surrounds us
As your breath trembles across my lips
I breathe in your scent
Holding you tight
Hoping forever
Will mean something someday
When worlds turn without problems
When life comes to a stop
When we spiral away
Deep in our graves
You'll say again
Give me your hand
And we'll walk away
Together in silence
And dream of young love
Under the willow tree again.
