    One Ripple; One Tsunami

    I remember watching your dark shadows of all different shapes and people, day and night, move across the landscape. I never knew your name.
    I witnessed your worlds and dangers which only I could see and experience;
    being buried alive in clouds of earth and rain isn’t nice you know.

    You released a ripple inside my soul; wild; untamable; starving for my own flesh and blood and soul.
    It did not take long for it to become a tsunami, an ephemeral disaster of reality’s true desire to end Humanity, breaking me again, and again, and again against the sharp cliffs of my patch-worked psyche.

    I have no need to tame you. Not when you bring me such euphoria.
    I have no desire to cease your wonderful, yet terrific cursed blessing of mine.

    You allow the worlds I imagine, and the danger I make up, and the death I create flow from my mind and onto the pages I endlessly write in now. An addiction to the tsunami I can never be free of. An addict seeking the fix my mind gives you.

    How does it feel now that I have become the ripple? The tsunami? I bet you’re starving to fuel this shared addiction of ours; your imagination to my reality.

    So, what should I write next?

    • Alexis, great work. Your words are very creative and poetic. I love that you said, “I have no need to tame you.” Sometimes it’s nice to let your mind unravel and wander. You have so many ideas and it’s healthy to let them out every once and a while. ♥
