Savior Brooch, Renew the Grief by soulspoken, literature

Literature

Savior Brooch, Renew the Grief

Blind. So blind. This brooch hath purged This guilt and shame. Forever this frame to blame. Once on the crossroads, Escaping fate (That wretched Oracle): A man. And his caravan. With haste the men destroyed And these eyes beheld their spirits Ascend with woe and sudden Confusion. But oh! That Oracle be cursed! She knew the lies she spewed Would warp this life and shape it To the crafted mold of Fates. Leave now. Return your quill to well. This tale, enough for harpies' songs, Should corrupt understanding And leave this life ending: My father murdered And my mother wife.

Time. The Endless by soulspoken, literature

Literature

Time. The Endless

My regrets are vast And the tears I could share Could fill buckets. If only Oh, if only I could take those buckets And use them as payment for sins and shame. Ten years or thirty Are self-same prisons If the prisoner locks his Own cell and eats the key. But there's desire! And Passion! Let me take my Passion And mold the people I Love most As they pen their souls On manuscripts trusted with me. But in the dampness that seeps Through cold, stone walls The pages would soak over time (Which never grows tired) And mold to the walls Like wallpaper slightly aged Enough for disgust tinged furrows. So! Give me the pen! Retrieve my key! And return

The Dark Might by soulspoken, literature

Literature

The Dark Might

Darkness falls. The city aches every day And sometimes more at night: A man, the streets, and black. Running here and there, Like flight, A man stalks his prey. The fear writhes in their blood Just before it's dredged By the pummeling fist Again Again Again Again Until he or she or they Are left on the pavement Or dropped like filth, waste Refuse At the gates of local authority. So run. And fear. The night-sky light Is here.

Cheers to You by soulspoken, literature

Literature

Cheers to You

Remember when you said Everyone's a fake? I remember your eyes, Your dagger eyes, Piercing my soul. I think you struck a nerve. Our regular group at our regular place, Phonies sipping their cups With mini saucer Clinkclinkclinking Constantly. All the chit-chat in between Long pauses Made my head spin. You turned to me blind With apathy. "Everyone's a fake." I looked down in my cup, Saw the bag half-floating Half- S I N K I N G And imagined my soul Being absorbed by this crowd. I tugged the bag string And placed it gracefully On my tiny saucer. And you, with your eyes Like blades And words like tainted syrup, Sunk b

The Well Digger by soulspoken, literature

Literature

The Well Digger

If the sun is shining I will speak. May my words fill A heart If only one heart. This world is a Well. I went to drink its Life. The waters run deep I know I have drawn oft (and drank) In search of words. In search of truth. As long as the well Of life survives My well will never Run dry. So drink with me And live with me And let us share Our cups. Our toasts To us And everyone.

Storm Crusher by soulspoken, literature

Literature

Storm Crusher

How does a storm pass? How does an hour pass? How does our youth Our innocence our happiness Last? If I am torn from life Let me die. And I will lie For ages of men, Moss creeping over me, Until I am renewed. Then I will Spring From my rest And declare with My zest That I have come. I was torn from life From Youth from Innocence from Happiness. But the hours and storm Have passed. I was torn from life Through the vice of grief And hate But I have triumphed. I prepared myself and now I'm back.

If the World Were an Apple by soulspoken, literature

Literature

If the World Were an Apple

I wish this world were an apple. I wish I could bite into it, Juices filling my mouth, And receive its nutrients. But if I bit into this world, This life, this society, this rot, I would decapitate a worm. What I would chew I would spit And leave to decay Under my feet. World, take your life and shape it. Conjure up some potent, spiritual Insecticide and purge the filth When you are able. Then present me your apple And I will eat. Then share with you again For the rest of eternity.

Hades in Servitude! by givemeyourscars, literature

Literature

Hades in Servitude!

The banishment was handed down! So Zeus gave himself the crown, Gave Poseidon the right to sea And Hades left to only agree That he'll take the possession of the dead! He forever resented his brother's choice, Forever regretted not having a voice, Left to torment in the land of the dead Unable to change what haunts his head Inside and out those cursed puppet strings! Across the five rivers, No mortal be saved! Built from their shivers, An afterlife enslaved! The underworld calls, Many have heard its sound! Appetites the walls, Ferried souls abound! The greed of Hades has no rival, Hordes souls from the Styx upon arrival, He seethes in r

Mosaic by Batgirl2013, literature

Literature

Mosaic

Look into a person's eyes, and you can see just how broken they are Then your irises are a broken glass, shattered The pupils a numb void, the color around it splattered Can anyone see your pain? Or do they try to help? Or do they refrain? You wonder, what ignorant fool would try to help? No one can mend a broken window The fragments would create a chorus of yelps Every single person would leave though. Save for a few What did they do? Unknown to you, they had solder and glue Even gloves, which is good too But will they waste their time and effort on you? End it now, and all they will do is rue Ever attempting to make your shattered glass s

Into the Deep of Tartarus by givemeyourscars, literature

Literature

Into the Deep of Tartarus

Down his reign the golden age, Forever a suggestion built from rage, In the end had been served a cage But for a time his life a page, Another tale to rule the stage Began when his pain couldn't be assuaged! To castrate his father with but a sickle His prophecy had been to Die! Overthrown by his child spry, Thus he made his wife comply, Rhea sacrificed her offspring by Feeding them on Kronos' by, And try to evade the Fates who lie A heart too bent and became of brickle Her sixth son whose name was Zeus! Was spared his death a moment's loose, Stone replaced the perfect excuse, To grow up a god and repay abuse, Banish his father to never be

Literature

if i hadn't had the drunk luck to meet you

i’d have married every bedside witch from here to east dallas i’d have glistened like a worm to their mescaline psalms i’d have mired in sinuous wineskin, repentant spectra i’d Om along in cooing groups, babble with freethinkers all my endeavors would be gas station derelicts all of my wrongs would be quasi-continuous even the over-sought moon would protest and i wouldn’t recognize one half of the universe

The Life of the Party by AsteriaSinclair, literature

Literature

The Life of the Party

I have been to lots of parties, barricaded by both men & women thickened with unwinding alcohol. Quite the life you already know, very secret lives, everyone make-belief lying through their cock-thickening mouths.... sole motives to only shirk, beat out with eyes, nearly diamonds, the brightness letting us drown. Out of touch .... yet everyone rubs nigh, wandering vacuums, too near to hear what's already been spoken, sucking up glow & alluring persons, whom are feeble ... too far behind. Tinkering hands and looped music pollinating dingy brains. Spellbind grief, unbearably reminds you, the life of the party.... can't get there from here

Bathed...in moonlight... Even the stars...seem to shine for you... I...look down at your face... Breathe...your breath as it escapes... I'll...never let you go...(I'll never let you) My...love will only grow...(I'll never let you) I'll...never let you go...(Hear me singing) Feel...my love as it flows...(I'll never let you go...)

The Cunning Shoemaker by givemeyourscars, literature

Literature

The Cunning Shoemaker

Once upon a time there lived a shoemaker whose joy in crafting shoes and patching worn pairs far exceeded his desire for fame or fortune. He lived a quiet solitary life, his beautiful wife having died many years before. He was known quite well around the village to be a man of somber intellect and few words, but also trustworthy in his own right. He never sought peril nor did peril aim to follow him. His name was Emmanuel; he had dark eyes, almost black, and long luxurious black hair that hung down past his shoulders. To strangers his mere presence echoed authority and a deep ambivalence, but to others from the village he seemed an ordinary

Beloved Nymph of Thebes! by givemeyourscars, literature

Literature

Beloved Nymph of Thebes!

More the taking In golden hearts, Her nymph spirit All forgotten parts! Wife to man Born of Earth, Mother to son Fresh eyes at birth! Her only child, How she cradled him Devote her life To avoid one so grim! She touched his eyes Every night to dawn, Wept tears to sight To never see him gone! All grown now, Just a curious sort Tiresias stumbled Into Athena's court He glimpsed her body, Glimmering naked goddess! His last sight taken To those breasts so flawless! Cast to blindness, Chariclo pleaded "Athena, you must! Undo the curse you needed!" Athena wept For she could not! But cleansed his ears To let him be taught Her only child, How s

The Tragedy of Achelous by givemeyourscars, literature

Literature

The Tragedy of Achelous

God to the river born Of his name! Greatest in thousands, No other the same! Father to these girls, All weak men be lured! Sweetness to sound, Never a broken heart cured! Away with them now All gone painlessly! Countless souls to bow Forever lost to sea! Daughters at heart And voices so sweet, They were torn apart In the grips of heat! The winding path Of treacherous water Led hordes of men To be slaughtered! But the tragedy of man Achelous ignored, His daughters paid From the tip of a sword! Away with them now All gone painlessly! Such sweet souls avow Forever lost to he! Daughters now gone, Their voices so sweet, There will be dawn....

This is a happy late/early birthday card for all of my friends,
because I overdo it too much to make you all your own.

I wish I could though!

When I got on DA today, I was alarmed.

It's almost your birthday!!!!!

Then I was like

Because it's almost your birthday, and I have no plans for your party!

Suddenly I had so much to do.
Food,

Music ,

And awesome friends!

I was satisfied with my preparations.

Than I realized something terribly important. So important it would effect everything I had done.
I DIDN'T MAKE THE BANNER YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was only one way to fix it. PANIC!!!!

Then make the banner.

We made plans. Everyone would

We were all in our places, prepared to surprise you, when suddenly I realized.
YOU WOULDN'T BE COMING!!!!! So we ate all the snacks, danced to all the music,
and made you this card! Also, we saved you something very very special.

From us to you!

Ello?

Just wanted to say hi and welcome to DA (even if I am a little late... heh)! Your poems honestly interest me, and I'd love to take a further look at your work!
