"Those that step within my House of Closure will find the training necessary to bare the burden of Destruction, handle the position of Wisdom, and weave the splendor of Serenity. I shall teach you what you need to know as long as you have the willingness to learn and broaden the catacombs of your mind. You will learn the ways in which to control your Destructive urge, learn to carve your thoughts into those that walk Wisdom's path, and learn what it means to have Serenity in thyself as well as all around you. However, learning is not enough to get you by. Acquired such information and putting it into use are two different stories. I am the Wind of Closure...and I shall be your beginning and end."

Infinity wrote:To be gone...to just disappear...
From the world...from existence, so dear...
To escape into the unknown....the unseen...
A thought so harmless....yet cruel and mean....
Isolation...peaceful and bliss...
Not here, nor there...nothing to miss...
To vanish away...not leaving a sound...
Bittersweet music....so deeply profound...
A flower stripped of petals....a burden to bear...
The seeds fall down...dead...and wont flourish here...
Drifting on the wind...the last note of a song....
Simply does it vanish....forever gone....

Each thought is pure.
Where to start?
I'm not sure.
But all I know,
And all I will do...
Is write out the words
To share with you

Infinity wrote:"I am in a cage.
The bars...oh how they press in tight.
Around my neck a leash squeezes, choking out my rage.
Shackles on my wrists bind me down...
No matter how I struggle with will and might.
Freedom. That is all I want, all that I crave.
Is there anyone to help me, anyone so brave?
The soul inside me that holds no peace,
Cries, "open up the door and let me be free!"
Leash made of metal which bites into my skin.
Garnet liquid dripping down my body like tears of sin.
I will never escape. I will never see the world.
My master just laughs, the sound being cruel.
I want to be alive. I want to be free.
My soul wants to sing, but doesn't know the melody.
I wish to be in light instead of the dark.
I wish to hear again the beat of my heart.
Breathe into me. Someone give me life.
Please, someone help me get through this strife.
What have I done that you cannot forgive?
Why can't I have my one chance to live?
All I want is this leash cut away...
These chains to be gone.
The iron bars to just fade...
And to have my chance of freedom.
But, alas, I'm still in this cage...
The bars...oh how they continue to press in tight.
And still around my neck, a leash squeezes, choking out my rage.
Shackles will always bind me,
No matter how I struggle...with all my will and might.
So I watch in envy as the light embraces some,
For I will always be in the dark...
With not one opportunity of freedom."

Infinity wrote:Like the first snow in winter
Or a blossom in spring
I'm just a memory
But still a magical thing.
Like a thought in your mind
Or something that happened early in time
I'm just a memory
But also a piece of history.
If you forget or if you remember
I'm not just a memory
I'm eternal and forever.

This one best fits my tastes. I like the metaphorical use you chose, it's eloquent.

Infinity wrote:Candle of lavender and vanilla, sweet scent, delicious aroma. Soothing thoughts going through the mind for a minute or two, especially if this girl is someone like you. Young girl, age of 19 years, sits near the window on a sunset colored eve, gazing through the frost covered glass out to the snow. Tresses of auburn hair cupping around a sleek, slender face, cascading down her neck, shoulders, and back to end in soft curls. Her eyes were of purple variety, mixes of dark and light, swirling around towards the center, making the beauty stand out much more. Slender body, frame of elegance, hands like gorgeous sculptures, and features that would take away the breath of any man who happened to glance upon such rare, unique beauty. However, on this particular night, there was no man to hold her, no man to cherish her beauty, no one to whisper in her ear causing laughter to bubble, the sound being of chimes or of bells. It was the time of World War II that this girl lived in, her husband being away at war, her fear of his death an everlasting fragment of her heart, throbbing with a bit of pain each time a car pulled up, she not knowing if he was going to come out, the pain instantly dying down when his face came forward, a brilliant smile shaping his lips.
This time, it seemed to be different. The arrival of her husband was taking longer than usual and this only added to the feeling of things going wrong in that day for the power was out, the house darkened with the exception of candlelight littered everywhere. The snow was coming down harder making it difficult to see past the frost that painted the window white, the lonely feeling causing the heart to ache with the need to have him home, to have him comfort that pain away. All that was there to really give this girl some kind of warmth, was the small, flicking flame of a candle. The way it moved, the way it danced reminded her of when they used to dance together, sometimes the dance being slow and other times the movement of there bodies intertwining in time with each other. Memories of the time that was spent apart also seemed to dance within this flame, memories that hadn’t thought in a very long time. With pen still in hand, the tip barely touching the parchment, ink beginning to fall in crystal black drops, breaking on contact with the paper, she simply stared into this candles flame, watching the life that it had, watching how it seemed to enjoy doing its dance. Not really talking any notice as the time went by, this small, luminous, glowing body seemed to grow, stretch, and take on the shape of person, the flames that licked her arms mixing with the length of her hair. So, sitting there, letting her mind wander, she watched the candle, the light getting bright, as it danced…watched as it came alive….
