Crimson’s Creative Challenge: The Forgotten Trail

Thank you so much Crimson for hosting this challenge.

The Forgotten Trail

~ a verse by Tatsuya

Hiking forth, I stumbled upon

A thin trail, left alone,

Twigs and weeds, grown all around

That scratch and I frown,

At the edgy ground,

Until I see a flight of stairs.

Small stairs, Stones stairs.

Who knows they lead to where,

And yet, to the unknown, I follow.

Dark and creepy, the stairs went,

To a place I never knew or came upon,

Fantastic beasts I met,

Fantastic places, a purple sun

And blue grass, and roaming stouts

I had come upon a land of great adventure,

But alas, I did not know a way out!

Happy birthday Kakuzu โœจ

Dear Kakuzu,

I don’t really know how old you are now, or would be this day, but still a very fond happy birthday to you! You know, even if you a loser and an evil person, I still like you a lot! A very happy birthday to you and keep on shining! โœจ

I know, you don’t at all like lavish gifts, so just a simple card for you, based on how I think you used to look at the older days…

Here is it…. Copyrights: Dragon Warrior

Warm regards to you and many wishes on your birthday!

A letter To Renee

Dear Renee,

May this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I really wanted to write this long, long ago. But time and conditions forbid me and so I am late. ๐Ÿ˜…

I really do love you a lot, and you certainly are a gem of this blogging world. So compassionate, so caring… I can’t really put forward my admiration in words…

A small picture I made for you… I hope you like it ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜ƒโœจ

Thank you so much for always being there beside me in my emotional roller coaster rides….

Renee

A warm light, even in the darkest night,

A warm smile,

A righteous ray showing me the right

Path, when I am stumbling alone.

With a heart bigger than ocean,

And care without any bounds,

With love reaching far and wide,

And compassion, caressing about

Me, when I am weeping.

I really thank you Renee,

For being in my life,

For being every time I need someone

To understand me.


Thank you so much Renee for everything! You really are a star…

Warm Regards,

Dragon Warrior โœจ๐Ÿ’•

Scar as a human

As I promised yesterday, I have painted Scar (the main antagonist from the Lion King) as an anime character. I spent a lot of time today thinking about him and his past life. He does remind me of Mhokaizi Yoshitsune, a prince from the famous Cygnetian empire of Mhokaizi.

Well, without further ado, let me present you to the one and only…

Scar

Next time, I would colour it too… ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

A movie that left a Scar

Today evening, I had gone to see the Lion king. I am quite late, I know, and the movie was quite nice too. But one thing left a deep scar in my heart and that was no one other Scar.

Now you may call me weird, or even take me as an “Evil” person, but I have always liked the Villains in fiction. They never fail to interest and surprise me and honestly… I think they very less taken care of.

Take Scar, for example. He is just the typical villain you would meet in fiction. Greedy, stubborn, cold, without moral or responsibility. And has a similar fate like them: Death. And what positive trait he has? Nil. So, in short, the cardboard cutout.

Now I really believe, these villain need a little bit more empathy. If not from the readers, then from the authors. Come on, they are also human or at least have human traits. They deserve just as much attention as the hero…

I have often feel compassionate to the Villains because I know they are very few people caring about them. Poor people, they are, isolated even by their Crafters.

I am really determined to make a deeper picture of Scar. Tomorrow, I would paint a human version of him.

Well, this is something I really wanted to talk about since long, but I had no one to listen… Thank you so much for reading this!

Warm regards to you…

Dark Thoughts: By Tatsuya

Another poem by my imaginary friend, Tatsuya Tuorin.

Dark Thoughts

~Tatsuya Tuorin

Unknown, what’s wrong with me

Unknown, where I’m heading

Just know, yes, I am fading

From the world and every other

Place.

All the emotions’ a mess,

Dwelling in darkness.

I’m smiling,

I’m crying,

I’m laughing,

I’m dying,

My whole heart is shattered.

Maybe, just perhaps, I never really mattered.

Jealous: Guest Post by Tatsuya

Today, when I told my imaginary friend, Tatsuya, that I had posted a picture of him in my blog, he immediately demanded I should post a poem written by him as well. So here we go… ๐Ÿ™‚

Jealous

~Tatsuya Tuorin

No, I am not jealous

When you have a better dress,

No, I am not jealous,

When you have a prettier face,

No, I am not jealous,

When you have much riches to brag,

No, I am not jealous,

When you rise and I sag,

No, I am not jealous,

When you are appreciated by the world,

But yes, I am jealous,

When you take the one I love.

Thank you so much for following me!

I know I am bit late to celebrate this but… a very big thank you to everyone for joining me in this journey!

I am so happy to say that I have reached 250 followers! Thank you so much for being here beside me in the travels around the blogging world!

In Cygnet, 25 is a very auspicious number for the people living in Tuorin empire (where my imaginary friend Masaki lives) because 25 depicts the Silver Jubilee (In Cygnetian language, Tuorin means Silver)

This is a picture of Tatsuya Tuorin, a prince of the kingdom… ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Thank You So Much!

Unversed Prose: Poem by my 12 year old self

Today, while browsing a few diaries, I came upon a few poems written in 2017, by my 12 year old self. There aren’t that nice, but I decided to give my little self a chance. So here is a poem by hers, not a single word changed by me. (That time, I used to read a lot of classics, so it had a tint of olden days ๐Ÿ™‚

Unversed Prose

O Great Scholar! Not a wise man as thou
Why then ask a fellow boy, write verse- form of prose?
Why make a flow confined in lines?
Why stake a blow of compelled rhyme?
Why divide theboundary-less, free moving words in narrow groups of fours?
Why then, asks a fellow boy write verse-form of prose

O Great Scholar! Not a wise man as thou
Can’t you see he inner beauty, of an unversed prose?
The lines are independent, wherever they roam,
Why burn with shiftingwords and turn them into foam?
The words that flow ever where, without limitor fear, why rules you impose?
Can’t you see the inner beauty, of an unversed prose?

O Great Scholar,! Not a wise man as thou
Can’t you see, verse goes with poetry, but not with prose?
Do you not realise,poetry is the free spirit which lives after death?
Do you not realise, verse is just the body who is left in the berth?
Why can’t you unite the body and soul, and remove the burden you force?
Can’t you see, verse goes with poetry, but not with prose?


Written from the perspective of a medieval prince, Dai, of Mhokaizi (spelled Ho-kai-zee) empire from Cygnet.
