The Invitation by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

The Invitation

May I have this dance? The way you can flash that smile Like it means so little When my heart jumps Just a little with every flourishing turn Every step you take All the while hiding behind your masque You let me lead you, but where? And who do I be privileged to lead? Is it lonely hiding in the shadows Cast by your facade? I did not think that for even a moment Could I know everything about you And still know nothing at all... ...I'm still the naive one... Ever chasing dreams and fantasy In pursuit of something close to happiness Some approximation of that plastic smile The one you wear so attractively

Angel of Life by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

Angel of Life

Do not fear me for I do not bring the end I do not drape myself in tattered cloth Nor from flesh your soul do I rend I am merely a flame and you are the moth You are drawn to me instinctively I merely try to facilitate transition To midwife your birth to a new world I'm here to lay you in a comfortable position As your true form is slowly unfurled You are welcome as part of the infinite You have not to fear the scythe or blade The white rose is the symbol I bare Come with me once farewell is bade On an adventure to I don't know where We'll find out when we get there I do not rip or tear you from your mortal life You just find

Anxiety Unknown by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

Anxiety Unknown

Why do I stay my blade when the truth it seems so clear? When there's nothing left to love in you and everything to fear The nightmare has awoken now and its sights are set on me This darkness deep inside you will eat us both alive I can run and hide with word-smithed lies but it only buys me time I feel the persecution burning though I've done no crime Please release me from your phantasy I can't believe this is a dream Let me wake up in my bed at home Let me open my eyes This is not reality for the story has no form How did you get inside my mind? You loved me once this much is true I wished to always be with you But be c

What happens next? by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

What happens next?

What is this heaviness I feel coming over my heart? Knowing you are walking away from me Going back to the life you don't hold so dear Because you fear the change and freedom that follows Let me take you by the heart and show you how to soar Leave the worries of your world behind you as the freedom fills you Gives you wings and makes your soul touch the sky Takes you places only dreams have showed you once before Don't give up now because the victory is on the front step Almost ready to knock on the door But the fear of change grips me, too Keeps me rooted to the floor afraid to ask for more We have to stop living on this shallow

Stumble and Fall by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

Stumble and Fall

I wish I could have told you about all the things you have come to mean But now you're gone to another place, onward you trundle without your grace The sadness and the pain hidden behind your tears unseen The way you pretend to be strong while on the inside you crumble If I stumble, if I fall Will you let yourself be the one I call? If I wanted you to stay Would you place a kiss upon me? Would you walk away? Can I steal your heart? Can I fill that hollowness inside of it Without tearing myself apart? This phantasy I'm living in does not provide me comfort Nor does it provide me shelter from the drama of the play I need to assert

My Heartfire by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

My Heartfire

Be my heartfire, My inspiration Set me alight and watch me burn Because you are my heart's desire I found my love for you was returned Stand with me in this field Look at all that surrounds us Shattered dreams Broken hearts All remnants of the past We stand above it all On top of the highest hill The air is thick with chemistry It slowly tries to choke us But if we embrace it It will become the air we breathe The water we drink The food we eat And the company we share Stand with me in this field Before you walk away Because I want to share this Just once, kiss me Even if its goodbye But kiss me like a lover Lend to me

I promise I will by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

I promise I will

_____, I like what we seem to share And I would defend every last strand of hair On your head should it be threatened I will defend you I like hearing your voice Sharing stories like a child shares toys It sounds like you're singing to me I will hear you You're a presence in the room Not just a piece of furniture Not just there to look well groomed I will acknowledge you To feel you close to me Your pulse in the palm of my hand The way it races show me your love is free And I will love you until I can love no more Now come with me, take my hand Because our time together is waiting All you need to do is open the door I will

Valentine's Day '10 by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

Valentine's Day '10

Okay. You've asked me to write You've begged and pleaded And now I've folded Are you happy? You didn't ask me to love you But you asked me to write about it You didn't ask me to be romantic But you asked me to write about it You never ever showed me love Or affection Any kind of reciprocation But you asked me to write about it Are you happy? I can't lie to you I can't lie for you But I can write this Happy Valentine's Day… …Sweetheart…

Lie To Me by HyleRogue, literature

False Asphyxiation by HyleRogue, literature

Literature

False Asphyxiation

And so it falls to me to cast around for inspiration Some cheap imitation of the love I feel inside Something I can twist and play with to get me by It doesn't work I sit in busy cafes, restaurants, city parks Beaches, malls, bars and pubs until I find it That spark which will set me forth on a journey Writing like I never have before But it still doesn't come to me …And so I sit until the businesses close… This lack of ability to write is slowly strangling I can feel the tendrils of the addiction twisting Around me My attempts at resisting are failing And I'm falling into a state where I cannot go on Things are getti

My insanity

Everywhere I look here I see her She's deep inside my mind On street corners, in stores One day I'll find her again I have to…for my sanity Thoughts just wont leave me alone I've tried so hard to forget Just to get some space Some peace But the war just wages on with me Sitting on the front line begging Wishing for this to stop I need to sleep… But those fatal words brought to me A vision of both of us sitting on a beach In each others arms Not caring about anything else Just watching the sun set out over the water From the sandy beach near the place I call home And I hope she will too… …One day Now I

On Wearing Black - by WeTheInvisible, literature

Literature

On Wearing Black -

When I die don't dress me up. Don't pick me out a pretty dress or manicure my nails. Paint me. Paint me bright and wild, Paint me like an empty canvas - Give life to my dead skin. Sapphire, Yellow, Indigo. I want there to be dirt on my feet to show them where I've been, I want you to draw me big fat circles round all the scars I own. Let them see my trophies, the broken skin, the fear. Say no prayers about my body, I have no need for hymns. Wrap me not in muslin, no shrouds, no curtains, please - no tears. I won't be a cemetery stone, Another name on another row. Please.. Let me die, how I would have lived.

Sleep by IChooseToLookUp, literature

Literature

Sleep

I'm tired of watching the clock tick to single digits Sleep, why have you left me? I hate your absence Since there is nothing to fill it But my own stupid, screaming thoughts Sleep, why have you left me? I hate your presence Yet the only time I can escape you Is when I need you most Sleep, why have you left me? I'm tired all the time But you still elude me It gets harder to handle by the day Sleep, why have you left me? Maybe I pushed you away without knowing it Maybe staying awake with my thoughts Is better than falling asleep And seeing the images in my head That I think are real upon waking Sleep, I know why you left me

Prayers for Japan by dokuneko, literature

I pray by FlawlessInnoncence, literature

Literature

I pray

{Usa} I sit by the window , folding paper cranes . Each fold , a step closer to 1000 birds . The night , its stars shining through . A good omen that is , we pray . {Japan} Mother Gaia trembles with fury , unleashing her waves, whipping us with wind . All there's left , is broken houses, it's shattered glass, spread everywhere . Weaved in with it , shattered dreams and shattered hopes . But wait- a flag , torn and shredded still stands . It's white and red still waving proudly . A good omen in sweeps of misery , that is , we pray . {Usa} In distance, I hear a lonely cry . That is our world, hurt and poisoned . Spilling

Internal Surfaced by lunastar, literature

Literature

Internal Surfaced

I tear myself apart again, and again, again. AGAIN! I can't stop Even though you want me to (even though I want me to). You shield your eyes and grimace (I understand. I grimace, too); and I can't take this self-destruction any longer. Just stop. (But it's not about willing it away. It's about altering an internal make up and fixing the wiring that says to rip myself to shreds without stopping until it's okay again.) (It's never okay.) I try to hide the destruction under (the surface) the layers of adhesive, but I fear that only makes it all the more evident. That it becomes a neon sign made of non-neon material, but sti

Hide This

you long dead eyes gleaming flint steel so clever or at least that's what I pretend what do you think? what do you think of my scratchings in the dirt my slivers of glass that stab my fingers so insistently splinters the worst, they are the worst and yet you will smile or frown maybe something, though, I think there would definitely be something I began and then I stopped so unprepared for the bonechill of your frothy humanity warm-pie precision a constant confusion paper torn halfway down is it one or two?

Notes by Ravenatawritingdesk, literature

Literature

Notes

Tired pens scratching empty words Slide-show faces lighting an indifferent room Tick Tick Tick "And that's why." Who cares what it means? "Write it." Who cares why it matters? "Need it." Who cares if it's true? "Repeat it." Spew it back in a cascade of Blind black ink On the next blank paper sent your way. Throw everything you know At the red pen idol, Who controls your future. Who rules your past. "Why?" Why not? "Incorrect. Minus four." "Why?" Because it makes sense. "Incorrect. Minus two." "Why?" Because you said so. "That wasn't so hard, now, Was it?" Because agreement is more important than accuracy. Th

Some Days by Firedog-Ookami, literature

Literature

Some Days

Some days, everything is poetic. Those are the days you notice the reflections in the floor And the pettering birds on the rotting windowsill. The kinds of days life intoxicates you and holds you captive, And unwilling but unresisting subject. Even the rubbish bins beg to be lyricized And the polluted smoke becomes a dancing shadow against the canvas of sky In a brief escape from reality My escapades in words trap a piece of the soul in the mundane schlep of life And shades my heart from the harsh rays of truth.

Daddy.Was.Right. by DizzyMac, literature

Literature

Daddy.Was.Right.

Everything was going right, Sunsets and red wine. You even followed Daddy's wishes, And had me home by nine. We were good, till you stole my soul, We were in love, before I lost your heart. I promise to search to the end of the world, Even after we break apart. Moonlight in the park, You kissed me once again. But Daddy wasn't happy When you had me home at ten. We were good, till you stole my soul, We were in love before I lost your heart. I promise to search around the world, And even after we fall apart. A candlelight dinner at your place, Before you begged me to stay. But Daddy wasn't happy When you had me home the next d

Litlinks 2011

0 min read

Hey fellas and ladies! Guess what? I'm officially a published writer! I have two items that made the finals in the Litlink 2011 competition (Look it up, it's supported by the paperchain bookstore in Canberra.) Both of those items have been published in the finals book which I believe is available through the bookstore...If anybody reads it before I do, can they please let me know which items I entered? Under Gerarde Carlton...It's been a little while sine I saw the items, and I may have published them up here, but I doubt it. On top of all that, I've been invited back to Canberra to deliver a talk about my experiences studying @ the Tafe I

A New Game

0 min read

So, being as far ahead as I am on everything, I've started a new game. I've found that I hold a bit of a crush on a girl, who's name is so unique that she will not be mentioned here because I don't know if she want's the publicity yet. Tomorrow morning, I drop the first clue; remember the days of the scavenger hunt? That's kind of what I'm leading her on... Except at the end, I'll be waiting as the prize. To the girl who received the letter, I say this; Check my gallery for the poetry that matches the title. There you will find further clues. Have fun, because that's what this was intended for. :love:

On the Hunt

0 min read

Okay, I have a Dilemma. I want to know who created this image: http://grza.net/GIS/Gentleman%20Color.jpg I have experimented a little with GIMP and would like to show it to them and ask permission to put it up here on DA. However, I don't recognize it from anywhere and I sure as hell don't see any artist watermarks. I've just done some adding of textures and little bits to make (what I think is) an improvement. I will show you guys if I find the original artist. On the other side of things, some poetry is slowly starting to trickle down the line and onto the site. I have a bunch of stuff on my iPad I will add shortly...Tonight, I promise. T
