My name is Dylan, welcome to my profile and such. My storytelling, while a bit melancholy at times, is not meant to be depressing. It is my wish to evoke feeling, whether it be sadness, fear, insecurity, or bliss. I want you to read my stories with a tear, a bitter smirk, or pleasant laughter. I have many creative interests, so I may write about almost anything. I am also always striving to improve my writing skills, so any type of review is greatly appreciated and will be listened to. If you wish to read my original poetry and stories, visit my Fiction Press page. I have the same pen name so I shouldn't be that hard to find. Have a better day than yesterday, my friends. :)

"We are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable." -Maynard James Keenan

Take hold, all-seeing eye

of infinite cosmic aesthetics.

Invite my soul into the mysterious

encompassing wisdom of

what I will never become.

Surrounded by lesser lights

that overpower from

oh so far away.

Then again, your light

is not truly yours,

but a mere mirage of

unused potential.

So float along, in this

unyielding waltz to oblivion

with the world.

I will gaze from afar in

numbing calm and serenity

at a scene too beautiful to ignore

and too grand to destroy.

Such is the fate of the moon,

a simple complement to a higher light,

a million reflections that make up

one lie told in grandeur.

Let the false light wash over like

a cooling tide or warming wind,

surprising the senses with unexpected pleasure.

The collective of life is nothing more

than a collective of self-imposed delusions,

but as beautiful as they may be,

one cannot shake the inevitable emptiness

that consumes us all,

all consuming to the end,

as it's always been. -Me
