Literature

here is the truth about skin and bones

zip me from belly to sternum so I stand straight as steel as I wander from room to room, half-asleep in a white hot dream. if I mourned for dusk would the sky howl for me? the floor shakes deep in my ribs each one a lightning rod to thaw me like frozen meat. you were a kiss unseen, a whiff behind closed eyes of musty spiced wine and the fingerprints you left on my spine

Literature

walls, boxes and doors

you throw things at the wall to see what sticks hurl them with precision and watch as each clatters to the floor blink behind glasses like in chemistry class over and over as i stand aside and say, not me - words that slide over brick to sit congealed you toss your two cents that splatter like a slap in the face and now i can fit into the box that you call woman

Literature

general surgery

it feels like trying to keep my stomach from climbing out of my throat and flopping to the floor (now my insides lie wet and cold between us) while I clutch my empty torso and I can't breathe because I go to sleep and no one is there, because you reached into my chest and pulled out my lungs and threw them away (I search every trashcan you might have touched but I can't find them, I still can't find them) so I cover my eyes and pretend you're not just an inch out of reach

goodbye by wei-en, literature

goodbye

i. death is a shadow and i feel him, some days more than others. ii. we first met on a sunny day in january. he covered my tiny fist inside his and squeezed it like an apology, and i began to cry. i have seen his silhouette every day since. iii. he is always on the flip side of light – always sharper where the sun shines fierce. (sometimes i can only face the bright side because i know he has my back.) iv. i write him letters. sometimes they are stories. sometimes they are odes. but most of the time, they are just conversations, that we have. (“i was thinking about you.”) v. death is

pilgrimage

We went work-weary, whisper-wrecked, skin dripping like acid off our necks – grit, and sweat – our white, pockmarked sun hanging low in the sky. Stark even against the dark blue, silhouetted peaks rose looming in the distance like a grotesque row of saluting soldiers. We trembled at the view with the cold familiarity of mutts caught too often looting in back alleys, the whiplash certainty in our soured guts of being casualties. We went, our feet as compasses pointing to "far" and "away", the twisted specter of the firing squad always over our shoulder, blurring our sight. We left a trail of ashes and blistered hope. We l

1. artemis ascends

she strings her bones tightly when the wild hunt comes, constellations of wolfteeth staccato against her skin. midnight beckons until she can be still no longer; she runs, leaps skywards, misty feet skimming smoke and threads of stormcloud, arrow-arcing up and up until the horizon breaks beneath her with a clap of thunder and above the aurora is blooming. celestial goddess-not-girl perched on the rim of heaven, the music of the spheres calls the planets to orbit and she waxes timeless amid stars and satellites, dancing a saturnalia with venus, whirling to the immortal moonspun madness of the universe and tonight all the world below

and say the future is just like the fog, rolling in thick & heavy from the forest of friends in front of you. see, some found love, others death, all of us lost in our own ways, awaiting dawn in whatever form it will come— fluorescent & fleeting. and say, aren’t we all just budding things, thinly rooted & full of potential, reaching out for the light or withering away to feed the hungry earth below? for what is the world but a greenhouse, hot & steamy in its apathy for our survival? and what is a greenhouse but a bell jar of blooming things, or bodies? be it autumn when the leaves fall or may when we bury them, this harvest la

TARtrazine + Feathers by ChloroformBoy, literature

Literature

TARtrazine + Feathers

i am a black portrait in a golden frame, a black swan posing as a golden goose; this heart of gold is a fraud in my chest just black tar dipped in yellow paint. cosmetic graffiti stains my soul a splintered onyx, a reverse midas, on my throne of gilded charcoal; i’m just another shadow puppet caught in a xanthic masquerade, waiting for the dye to wash away.

Never forever. by DamagedHomewrecker, literature

Literature

Never forever.

In the dark blaze of night, my anger coils beside me like a cat, and I can feel myself maybe finally letting go, why am I here, still, after all this time, and the cut of your smirk still loosens these jagged little pieces of love and you're looking at me like you know I'm broken and you want to fix me, but that's not possible because you. broke. me. We're talking and we're laughing and I can feel my anger subsiding, shrugging and slinking away to go curl up on the top of the refrigerator where I can't get it, a soft purr vibrating. We're laughing and we're walking to your bedroom and we're kissing, deep and tender, and I just want to tuck my

Literature

The Time Has Come

I agonize and dream I use my claws To rake them down your spine & ride you slow The humid slick is running down the walls The night is thick with nowhere else to go To rake them down your spine & ride you slow As lightning shakes the thunder from the sky The night is thick with nowhere else to go Each tremor taking us before they die As lightning shakes the thunder from the sky Denying us the rain that comes alone Each tremor taking us before they die That soon will bring a deluge of our own Denying us the rain that comes alone While lovers steal the moment from within That soon will bring a deluge of our own And jo

telephones and cortisone

Puerto Rico is still asleep while we starfish aimlessly in the sea - We are like lost men seeking shelter in a place where the sweating sun is forever at high noon, ceiling fans turning slowly and dewy drops on upper lips. I am the skinny girl in an indie movie who lounges around in her underwear, a cigarette dangling limper than dirty hair. A phone rings somewhere. I am grasping at a dream like I am drowning and watching the surface float away, falling so deep into sleep that the stars seem to sing.

as small as a world and as large as alone

it's always ourselves we find in the sea, she reminds me, eyes lingering on the cerulean ocean stretching and sighing before us, glowing vermillion in the setting sun. we sit until the tide is sloshing at our feet, threatening to carry us away on a dreamlike raft of smooth turtle shells. we take cover, shrieking like children, kicking up sand in a feeble attempt to stop our pursuer from closing in on us. laughing breathlessly, uncontrollably, hands pressed against our chests and eyes beaming with unshed tears, we are careening up and across sand dunes (though the tide is far behind us) until our calves are wobbly strands of seaweed, good fo

atlas

my subconscious is a continent, my bones the aching tectonic plates of the earth rubbing raw against yours. take me deep into the technicolor canvas of your mind, paint my body with the soft brush of your lips. find all my creases and crooks and pry me open quietly, let my spine crack open like an old book. take me out to watch the stars and we'll feel our worry melting away. nothing is more clear than breath swirling into fog, pink cheeks and shy smiles.

say what now?

0 min read

If you don't post a journal after getting a DD, did you really get one? Just kidding. But really, this was such a surprise. Especially on a poem I made in about 30 seconds while browsing a gameboard store with some friends who were visiting. But who am I to complain? Life outside the internet has been interesting. I've started my PhD now so I think my sleep quality is going to plummet soon. I'm writing a bit here and there but I don't think I'm ever going to get back to that place where I posted like five poems a week. I think we're lucky to get one a month   how are you guys? Hi to my new watchers :wave: who are you? let's be friends!

Well, it's nice to be back. I had a whopping 5,284 things in my inbox which I promptly deleted and waited patiently for new things to come in... and they didn't? It's been a whole day and there are only 6 deviations and that's just weird. I guess everyone's ditched this place / on vacation / both. So, please recommend to me a writer (poet) that you've recently discovered or has recently joined dA, cause I have nothing to read and I want to check out some new writers. also tell me what you've been up to :la:

WritersInk Contest Feature + etc.

0 min read

WritersInk (https://www.deviantart.com/writersink) recently had an amazing contest with the theme "Moral of the Story", so I present to you the fabulous winners! First Place Second Place Third Place While on the subject of WritersInk (https://www.deviantart.com/writersink), they're in need of a new gallery mod (cause I'm leaving them :noes:) so if you think you might be interested, send C-A-Harland (https://www.deviantart.com/c-a-harland) a note! I've been with them for almost two years (I think?) and they are really one of the best literature groups on dA. You can't go wrong. Hope you're all doing well :aww:
