New short story

Just a heads up.
I’ve added some brief description on each of the stories that are here so far in the Story folder of my blog and some themes just to make it easier to navigate.
Also I added a new short story that I’ve written a little while back at writing.com: A melody that has to keep playing…
It has a musical theme and it’s the first time that I tried to ‘write’ some noises into it. I’m not fully enthusiastic with the outcome, but hey! since it has already been written, no harm in posting it.
I hope you’ll enjoy it.
From scratch.

Well, things go well. Everything is quiet here.
At least in my mind they are, for I’m bursting with activities that draw upon almost all of my free time. I guess that by mid-October I will put a reign on those things and everything will return to it’s normal, boring, routine.
But I’ve willed myself to change. I PROMISE (to me) that I shall post a new poem or a new story chapter at least once per week. I promise that I shall not let this place die. To show my newfound determination I gave this whole place a face lift. Slowly, I learn to write, and timidly I step forward. Who knows, maybe I can manage my dream to became a writer eventually…
So:
a)No more whine (hooray!)
b)At least one update/week (I need a goal to keep me moving)
c)I shall stick to the plan of having this place as a writing repository and not as a rant receptacle.
For now, I’ve updated the story archives, and I’ve removed some of the old ones for a major re-editing of them (when I’ll find the time). What I plan on doing till the end of the week is uploading another ten or so poems of mine that I haven’t posted yet here (through some of them are posted in my portfolio of writing.com).
See ya soon!
Baby steps (+poem, +short story)

So, I kinda-sorta-somewhat found a little free time to continue my writing. Nothing much, just a few steps to make me moving again. As in my classic stupid tradition, I didn’t continued any of my previous work that I so much wish to finish some day… but i started on new projects.
And here I go again, in a new place ( http://Writing.Com/authors/shphoenixgr), making a fresh start. The problem is (why there should always be one by the way?…) that at this particular moment, i have a chance to do something really meaningful with my life… and here I am wasting my time writing things irrelevant to my work… but this doesn’t bother me now. I figure that I like my writing better than my job anyways…
So I wrote a poem for my new beginning, a poem about life, since it IS a good subject for my baby steps…
I also started writing a small story for a contest there, the poem (Full circle) as well as the story (Incineration of sanity) can be found (as always) in the sidebar. And to continue my new test, I shall put the poem here too.
Hope you’ll enjoy them both.
Full circle
You’re slapped to life by tender hand,
to learn the meaning of pain and love.
Opposite sides, or are they really?
When things you learn, shouldn’t you dance?
For times will come where fate is cruel.
Your sorrows grasp, your bitter paths.
Embrace your tears, forget your past,
for only struggle teach how to laugh.
But when life shines, they rays of joy,
always remember to smile with your eyes.
For truly as sun, in mirrored glass,
your light reflects and spreads your laugh.
And morning come, and evening leave,
learn something new, teach something different.
The things you treasure must go to others,
and you’re expected to guard their own.
But always take notice, that this’ a journey,
a train of memories and things you’ve done.
And it’s better to be a cabin active,
than just a passenger that watch life pass.
And when they say ‘Your light is dimming’,
over your shoulder just throw a glimpse.
You’ll see it bright, to those you gave it,
to those you taught and those you smiled.
Your head turn straight and silently walk,
you’re finally here, to your journey’s last stop.
The times you’ve fallen are long now past,
Be proud you willed yourself to stand up.
But if you think you need more time,
you have forgotten one major thing.
You need to cry to learn how to laugh,
how can you live if you cannot die?
