( ¯ • . ¸
The long road back to where we need to be
Is covered and stained by footprints of the past.
An oak-lined corridor, little light to see
By; as darkness creeps in, our sloth doth not last.
¤
Thine eyes witness beauty in the bright
Shadows, cast from tree branches thin.
As coldness sets in, remnants of light
Shatter and break; warmth seeps from our skin.

Greetings, wanderer...

You have stumbled upon my profile in search of good literature, perhaps? Did my chosen pen name intrigue you? Were you referred to my work by a friend? It does not matter how you discovered this page for I welcome thee regardless.

I am English and rather pedantic in nature when it comes to spelling and grammar. I have qualifications in English Language & Literature, and a Creative Writing course or three under my belt. I have been creating stories / poems / songs since I was a young boy, though my interest in writing didn't truly take off until 2002 / 2003. Finally, my name is Jon. That's all you're getting in terms of identification - there is a reason people have pseudonyms, after all.

The newer the piece (with only a few exceptions along the way) the higher the quality of prose/ storytelling will be. Do not be troubled by this - I'm not, as it merely shows that I've managed to improve a little over the years. If you disagree with this statement, please don't resort to "flaming" - I will respond to constructive criticism and honest / polite questions if I have the time.

Signed,
-The Lurking Writer

Lyrical Quote of the Moment

Heaven queen, cover me
In all that blue
Little boy, such precious joy
Is dead to the world

Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world

Dead To The World,” by Nightwish
