Literature

the bisque

the bisque: (these words were for him, but since saturday, they've all belonged to her and she would hate me for it.) upon noting the unusual sunday porcelain of my skin, I did not know it would render me so heartless or so breakable. dusty cheekbones, a painted face – today I'm a student of Plath without even trying. instead of her "old brag" – how can I explain? – there's a terrible malignancy where my heart should be, a vastness of character swirling around a mousetrap ready to spring. I am rhubarb leaves, an eggplant, a tiny parcel of irretrievable feeling; I am as useless as a sugar cube in a butcher shop. and I kn

Olive and Pale by PagesOfDreams, literature

Literature

Olive and Pale

Your skin may feel like it's much too consumed by oils, but I accept you as you change, as you don't. (What you don't know is your scent is curry I am lost in it.) As your lips brush clavicle, scapula you whisper hushfully about how you envy my sex appeal (you slide your fingertips along my vertebrae, pull my pelvis closer.) But your uneven humorous and brachii are what truly make you a masterpiece sculpted. You walk like me more than you realize, eyes more living, breathing than your lungs and I adore you.

Beautiful Test by Mumusuki, literature

Literature

Beautiful Test

Shiny, smooth, and sickly Covered by a bright pink beanie, The girl with the cancer in her breast Does not give up but embraces her test. The cool metal glides into the vein. It delivers it's killing fluid. Pain. And the girl with the cancer in her breast May slightly grimace but endures her test. Laughter Pill. Smile Shot. "One more kiss" Darkness. A flower drops into the hole A tear seals the memory of the soul. And the girl with the cancer in her breast Rests in silence at the close of her test.

day twenty-three by BellaPotter, literature

Literature

day twenty-three

he looks at her and her heart folds in like the flower that shrinks back from sin. she licks her lips and he brushes his fingertips across the freckles on her cheeks, the ones that he says remind him of andromeda, and she breathes. - when the night is pressing down on them like the great hand of god, his fingers lined up against their backs with all the weight of the world, he explores every part of her. he falls in love with the way her throat blooms from her collarbone, with the tangle of her eyebrows when she does not quite understand what she has been shown. he tells her she is beautiful, and the words are sweet

Misdirection by royalocean, literature

Literature

Misdirection

Mixed signals or misdirection? Is it even supposed to be this hard to tell the difference? Maybe I'm just ignoring-- no, mistaking the obvious : you're just not interested. Or, the cues are there and the lines have been drawn and somehow platonic and romantic seem to intertwine, like vines wrapping around each other my arms wrapped around you and for a moment things were okay. Though I could be wrong, maybe this is just some vivid fantasy of the outcome I'd like to see. Far be it from me to engender infatuation-- I'm not the type to dwell on any girl, and I wouldn't even go as far as to say there

grape juice and mud puddles

you're my favorite kind of natural disaster -- famous for horizontal rain and forcing palm trees into death arches. (are you proud of what you've done to me or do you want to come back for one more crushing tidal wave?) = you're my favorite kind of chipped china -- stone-cold beneath writhing flower wreaths and scratched by forks, but still delicate. (maybe you wouldn't be broken if i'd left you in the cabinet like they told me to.) = you're my favorite kind of grape juice stain -- a permanent ellipse of watered-down fruit in the fibers of my best shirt. (i wear you like a badge of honor even though you were a mistake.) = y

it's been a while.  annnnd... everything has changed. the short run-down on my life is this -- i'm in university now and the college life truly suits me in a way nothing else ever has.  i'm majoring in english and possibly either international studies or anthropology (or something else entirely, i don't really know yet).  i love living away from home, late nights in the library, and in general, the crazy things i get to do with no adults to get annoyed.  midnight sledding on cookie sheets, holla. :) i stopped coming on dA but i never stopped writing, though i'm not nearly as productive as i used to be.  a combination of having a busier life

The sun is nothing more than a slice of light on the horizon, a brilliant promise of glowing mornings, hot afternoons, and lazy afternoons spent sipping lemonade in the porch swing.

dA: Well dA, I'm maybe back from another stupid hiatus. :| I'm finally starting to get a handle on my inbox again, but that's mostly because I deleted all of your lovely news articles and journals.  Sorry.  If there is something you think I should see, then definitely send me a link.  Otherwise, I'm going to focus my attention on getting through the remaining 500 of your deviations. :) Also, thanks to those of you who have given me llamas.  Nothing like a virtual animal badge to spruce up your page, I suppose. :lol:  I have yet to distribute any llamas of my own, but I will be getting to that, maybe after this journal, or perhaps after I g

I miss you.

once you read this letter, you must send it to 15 people, including the person that sent it to you . If you receive at least 3 back, you are loved. Nobody knows how important something is until...................they lose it. Tonight, right at 12:00a.m., the person you like is going to realize that they love you! Then, something is going to happen to you between 1:00 & 2:00a.m. Be ready for the greatest shock of your life. If you break this chain, you, you are going to have bad luck with love for a whole year. Send this to 15 people and see what happens ♥♥♥

Sorry that you're no longer on dA. It took me a while to re-find you again.

Best of luck with your studies.
