My prose collection (copyrighted)

Archive: 2 posts


I wrote these 8 years ago. And yeah they are copyrighted because they were published in a young author's collection of prose book that never sold very well.

Sweet Dreams?.

by Chris Tyrrell


People seek words of wisdom to feel comfort in times of pain, sorrow, need - millions of quotes and millions of songs all to express pain, sorrow, lost hopes, lost dreams - but when you sleep at night, no matter what the day before held, there are no limits on your dreams, and the dreams and comfort you have while asleep are there for a reason... to recharge your mind, body, and spirit for what the day ahead will hold. The pain, sorrow, lost dreams, lost love will always be there as will the quotes and songs they leave in their wake, yet somehow the cry of those we quote, of those we listen to - the cry of their experiences reflects our own experiences, and we take comfort in that... To find true comfort again, look not to the sad words and lyrics left by the wake of pain and sorrow, but to the incredible words of hope, and strength, and love entailed in the experiences of those who still dream...

Another Attempt at defining Love:
By Chris Tyrrell




Another attempt at defining love: "Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired,"* so say the vain - so say the humble -- when in all truth, love is the byproduct of finding someone so special that any combination of words fail to define how it feels ? how YOU feel? when her eyes meet yours, when both of your souls connect through the slightest touch of her fingertips, when endless passionate kisses give way to a slow comforting hug and you can't tell her heart from your own, when every time you shut your eyes, she is there, when every time you dream at night, she's there. And when she is lost? due to fate or foul play or ignorance or impatience --- you will blame it on love --- and you know only the true power of love when the harsh cruel reality of its absence sets in and the void now filled with pain and sadness causes you to reflect on that which had just been lost ? in hindsight, you attempt to define what you had previously felt; you call it magic, perfection, happiness, joy, and endless other words of inspiration ? yet you find yourself in the end, using only one word: love.

*quoted by Robert Frost.

Those were really good! Too bad they didn't sell very well.

I noticed the Writing forum is getting a lot of new threads lately.
