Shooting stars sometimes burn forever

It was never intentional. It never had to be this way. But it was. Anthony had to live with the decisions he had made. He just never expected it to be this hard. It was the sexual tension, he always believed. Now he knew it was far deeper than that. It was love. Jo never meant to push him away. She had never really wanted him to leave her. She really loved him, and she wanted nothing else than to be with him. He wasn’t hers to be with any more. It hurt. It was love. They walked, together, a giant, unnatural void between them where their hands should meet. Their hands fit. He remembered this. She hid it in a distant folder somewhere deep in her mind. So they walked. It was strange. Exhilarating! But strange.
“I’m leaving, Jo,” Anthony said. He really wished she would take him by the hand and kiss him. She didn’t. He knew she wouldn’t.
“I know,” she replied. She really wished he would just kiss her. He didn’t. She knew he couldn’t. So they walked on. They sat at a park and she lit a cigarette.
“You’re a retard,” she said.
“I don’t deserve that, bitch!” said he.
“You do,” she emphasized.
“Oh? Okay. Tell me how so!”
“Okay. You were born this way, darling. Embrace it. In the beginning of time, God said ‘let there be revulsion’, and your face popped out of a blue waffle.”

“That’s uncalled for, Jo!” Anthony said.
“Go die,” said she.

They walked on. He hummed. She hummed. He thought of every scene which he wished to share with her. She saw stars, and dreams waiting to come true. They shared love. They shared friendship. He wished he could kiss her. She sighed, knowing he wouldn’t. She turned. He waved. Then he left.

2012 - a tale of dark love lost

Image
I've never been a winner. It's a reality I have to deal with every minute of every single day spent on a constant bullshit spree that doesn't really capture the truth of who I am. Who am I? This is a story that dates back to a moment when my life changed completely. Flashback >>>DECEMBER 2011<<< Flashback Congratulations, Mr Tlou. You have been provisionally accepted into the Journalism and Media Studies 2 course for the year 2012. Back to reality!!!!!!!! My life changed quite rapidly from that afternoon onwards. I made the conscious decision to drink a lot less and become the ideal student. I had been afforded a second chance to make right the ills I had committed in that extremely eventful year. I came back to Rhodes, a reasonably changed man. The thing about change is that ... well, is that it's not easy to keep at. "If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on being what you've always been. Nothing ch

Words: Through The Eyes of a Writer

There is this movie; a movie about a man who wrote a book about a writer who found a book. The book which the writer had found was written by an old war-veteran; but he had not known this when he submitted it as his own. The writer of the book, the writer in the book and the old man all share one thing in common: they are all writers. Each had a story, and each story lead them to the craft. Each story began with love; and each ends with heartache and tears. I am a writer, and I too have one such story. It began at the end of an adventure I wished would never end. Like many others who had walked this path, I learned the hard way that love - the purest and strongest source of inspiration - can also be the most cursed. I fell in love with an idea; and the idea was beautiful. It was the idea of laying in bed beside the woman who kept my heart beating. It was the idea of waking up to my favourite dream every morning; the one where it's her lips that breathé life into my own at every
