How Many Immortal? by ~deaddonjon:icondeaddonjon:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


Staring out this window, I start to think,
how many times?
how many times have i stared out a window
and just hoped, longed, for death to come?
for that cold hand to sweep me off my feet and take me away.
See, I am not depressed,
just dissatisfied with my never-ending life.
I, Orlando, am immortal. I saw everything:
the Trojan War,
King Arthur,
the Renaissance,
the Nazis. But nothing compares to this. My daughter,
well, she did not get my "gift" of immortality. So I lost her 30 years ago.
Now, I am masked as a journalist,
on my way home from reporting in Iraq.
It was terrible, blood soaked veils and clothing
crushed in the streets under stones and the ruins of fallen regimes.
Look, I see ground below us.
How many immortals are there besides me, how many? Will i ever know?

Author's Comments

ok, so its shit, but i noticed i hadn't put any art up, so i decided to put up some stuff i write until i get a scanner to put some drawn art and maybe photography up.
so writing poems isn't really my forte, i do screenplays, but sometimes i get bored so i write stuff like this.

This is seriously cool. Very artsy. At first I was like "Oh god, Kinney's gonna kill hisself!" Then I was like "Oh... It's fiction. Neat-o."

Throw a Kappa a cucumber and he will not eat you.

Throw me a cucumber and I will look at it contemplatively, then say "Thank you."

I had no idea that anyone else knew what they were! See, I drew that crayon mermaid on my front page and she looked so creepy and green... kind of like a kappa! So I called myself CucumberPrincess cuz of that old myth that they won't eat you if you give them a cuumber. Yeah, they're pretty much the best mythical animals EVER!
