I suppose many people have little beings that are born of age and come to exist in the many facets of our minds. They act out their lives, as if in a movie of some sort. I have a few of these people, and they've been in my head for a while. Born in shivers on a bus, they've been incubating for quite some time, and have finally grown strong enough to demand some sort of presence in the outside world. Well, as they are what they are, they really can't exist in any other way in the outside world, for me at least, except in words. They've been playing out their lives in my poetry for a while, and now they seem to want just a bit more.
Max is a somewhat troubled being. He has eyes in which the daytime sky is captured forever. A firm believer in Murphy's Law, things seem to go every which way but the right one for him. He is immersed in his own darkness, with little creatures such as Guilt and Anger and Hoplessness swimming about in the murky waters. He lives for the night; he is at home there. Daytime is only an inconvenience that he has get through, bringing more of the things he doesn't want to face. He has only one light in his darkness...
Alciena, or Alcie, is jubilant burgundy in motion. Loving the little wonders of life, she experiences it all as if she were a small child or living her last days and wanting to look at everything she had ever ignored before. She is caught forever in a romantic daze, but soaks up knowledge like a sponge, and is hardly naive. Jus optimistic, and sunny. And strong. She loves the rooftops, and sunsets, the changing colors shining off her candy-apple colored hair.
Andrea is a mystery. Sort of like a mediator between Max and Alcie, or a Dear Abby sort of person. She had a strong purpose in the scheme of things. Nobody really listens, she is the listener, and a fairly private person as a defense reaction. She has been through a lot, and tells her own story.
More creatures may come, and I will introduce you to them when they feel it is time. All of them have stories to tell. I haven't created these people, they have created themselves and are having me document their lives as best i can.
