throw all the rules out the window
abandon all the pre-conceived notions
stop listening to that socially conscious voice in your head
freedom to be
to love
to make mistakes
and repair their effects
what's right is what feels right
what's good is what garners a smile
what's bad is what gets talked over
not a redefinition of yourself
but a freeing of the constraints
you've always put on your life
still you
but a you you've never known
a you you're still getting to know
abandon yourself to the moment
abandon yourself to the spontaneity
abandon yourself to her
and you will find only happiness
with you it's a smile
with you it's a hug
with you it's your soft hand in mine
all the ways you touch my life
with me it's a compliment
with me it's a kiss
with me it's my caress on your skin
all the ways I touch your life
with her it's a glance
with her it's a gift
with her it's a word spoken softly in his ear
all the ways she touches his life
with him it's a note
with him it's a date
with him it's a comforting shoulder for tears
all the ways he touches her life
with us it's the unspoken
with us it's the time lost
with us it's our hearts beating faster in our chests
all the ways we touch each other's lives
My life is bright
because I'm a freak.
I'm happy
because I don't fit.
I acheieve more
because I enjoy proving perceptions wrong.
My imagination is alive and well
because I don't limit myself.
So thank you to the haters
for reminding me how happy I am.
Thank you to the skeptics
for reminding me how far I've come.
Thank you to the pessimists
for giving me barriers to break down.
But most of all,
thank you to my fellow freaks
for showing me pure joy.
smiles and laughs and discourse

The day I opened my mind to your creations
was the day I opened my heart to friendship.
And every day since I've cherished all
the little lessons that we teach each other.
Through hardship and struggle
and downtrodden moments,
we lift each other up with
simple acts of kindness.
We are together.
We are one.
Because we care,
and share and tolerate.
From a little smile
to a giant group hug.
From a simple bro-hoof
to a helping hand.
We're there for each other.
We're leading the way.
Showing others how to care.
Reminding the world how to love.
You've reminded of me what I learned as a child.

Laughter and snippets of conversation.
Drunken ramblings and shouts of absurdity.
Sirens of different pitches. I can tell them all apart now.

They'll stop to awww at my kitties, but otherwise it's just another brick face.
Hey! Hey! Over here - the one jumping up and down.
I can't look as cute as the kitty, but I still try.

Your handwriting brings tears to my eyes
and your smile gets mirrored on my face.
My heart beats faster when you're near
and I cherish every little thing I have of yours.
If that's all wrong,

to be hung at dawn.
The moon's glow reminds me of your presence,
the stars twinkling of your eyes.
The wind rushing past my face
is the soft touch of your hand.
If that's all wrong,
if that's a crime,

not pain, but elation,
by memories frozen
in time.

About Alicorn Twilight (and Recent comments)
Well, here's the scoop-
Get used to it, because she's here to stay. And not just in the show.
We're introducing the updated version of season three's Twilight Sparkle into the comics as well.
We're asked about 5th person at our tables: "what do you think?" "Why did they do that?" "Are you gonna.." etc.
Since we work hand in hand with Hasbro, we never had any intention of NOT updating Twilight for the books as well.
And quite frankly... we are all about it!
Neither Katie Cook nor myself understand the hatred going on for having Twilight become a princess. Katie has made an outstanding point- Twilight may be the only popular character to hav
After a very long hiatus, I'm finally back. Afghanistan's satellite internet pretty much killed any chance I had of keeping up with DA, so I have 1174 notices to go through and I feel like I owe something. While I didn't really have the mental bandwidth while out there to write new poetry, I am working on something that popped into my head the other night. Still in draft form though, so maybe tonight or tomorrow you'll see something new pop up.
In other news, I contributed a welcome video to Cloudsdale Congress (which went live on my birthday) so that I was there at least in spirit. Recording at 3am after a 20 hour day really shows my co
Someone derped and didn't ask <fyre-flye (https://www.deviantart.com/fyre-flye) to contribute to the Season 1 DVD commentaries. We know they'll correct the oversight for the next release, but she was still super bummed about it and rightfully so. So :iconphoekun: asked us all to help remind Lauren of just how much she means to all of us. I didn't know what to write at first - a small tweet of thanks, or a longer letter...and then I got one of my random moments of inspiration. So my latest poem is for Lauren, and it just so happens to sum up all the major feels I've been having lately about the DC Bronies. I know MLP isn't going anywhere...but if it was, there are an awfu
Hey, look what I haven't done in ages! I'm wrapped up working on my cosplay project (http://engineerbrony.tumblr.com/) so I haven't been writing any new content. But I've still got old pieces to upload. So let's spice things up a bit around here.
