You didn't knock, did you!?

Yeah well, some knock, others don't. Some are gentlemen, some are.... not so gentle. And if you DID knock, I would love to know how. So now that we have the knocking business out of the way, let's get down to business.

I am doing this - this blog business - because I love to talk to anyone who cares to listen. In this case, it is more like write and read, not talk and listen. Basically, a lot of drivel about anything and everything that goes in my mind. Well, almost anything and everything. I also want to put up some stuff I have written, to see if people like it. So here is what I call The Yellow Parchment:

torrents of sound wash the shore
liquor in my veins where Bacchus rules
Shiva dances his destruction jig
forbidden tastes for which the tongue drools
emotions reduced to a jigsaw
expertly solved by dawn's princess
the moon peeks through the clouds
privacy reduced to an absurd excess
departing souls left their memories
photo albums cage and preserve them
journeys to the celestial abode
heaven elevated to a divine harem
false promises lead to deliverance
the juveniles in their delinquent homes
a kingdom of evil takes shape
with the strength of a thousand romes
loyal subjects gather to revolt
crushed like a broken heart
plants of hope still sway in the land
flirtations perfected to an art
extolled the virtues of logic
but death didn't listen to reasoning
life plucked out like a flower
the body pickled without seasoning
ventured too far in the dark
should have remembered the folk-lores
now the king has been check-mated
without a chance to settle scores

There. So what do you think? Like what you see? Of course you did! If you want to read more from my pen, or my keyboard for that matter, go ahead and let me know. I'll tell you what will be better. Why don't you spread the good word around a bit? I would like feedback on my writing, and thoughts conveyed through it, from as large a number of people as possible. So be a sport and shoot from your hip.
