PART I

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

have you ever
danced with the devil?
walked with the grim reaper
talked to Satan?

imagine my life

a thing so beautiful gone up in

that makes you feel so flames

numb and puffs of

disrupted REM smoke

out of body experience

detached I never asked

from reality to meet the

it lifts you higher devil

and higher — the devil met

as you drift away me

into

never land

lost in space and

time

continuum

circling 'round your brain,

until you're

empty

and lonely.

it opened my eyes
to the seven deadly
sins

Things I Offer

_{I offer a few services to my fellow deviants. If you're interested in any of them, please note me. Please do keep in mind that I would prefer to keep these services strictly literature, as that is the category that I am the most strong in.

CRITIQUES
___________________

I offer critiques or in-depth comments on any literature work that you wish to be critiqued. I don't consider myself a harsh critic; I do often make suggestions that I think would improve what you've written. It is my main goal to help you improve yourself as a writer while maintaining your own unique style.

CONTEST DONATIONS
___________________

I am more than willing to donate to a contest that you may have currently running. The things that I donate frequently consist of watches, favorites, llamas, journal features, critiques/in-depth comments, and possibly points.}

hope you're all doing well. I would just like to take a second to say thank you for all the comments, favorites, and endless amounts of support I receive from my watchers. It's because of you guys that I am still on this site and writing poetry for the world to see. Summer is coming soon, so that means I will have a lot more time to be active on here.

In the meantime, I'm working on a new poetry series. Feel free to check it out:

POETRY

lifeboats never floatlisten to me little castaway,
the lionheart sewn into your chest still beats
but the threads are loosening,
forced bravery
will always crack in the end.
your sleep is dreamless but you always wake up
vulnerable.
(survival cost more than you could spare, so you replaced yourself
with a huntress. she roars in the night,
and claws her way
through the days like a rabid animal,
always hungry and never afraid.)
it is time to step away from your gods
they listen to your footsteps in the grass, the rustling
of leaves and hurried breaths,
but they cannot see you.
(do not abandon them.)
it is time to isolate yourself from the fear
my warrior, it will drive you
to the edge of these cliffs and push
you down,
and the gods will hear your spine snap
against the shore and
they will not bury your body,
they will desecrate it.
(do not turn away from it.)
the world is splintering into a million islands
and you stand alone on all of them, hope mutating

These Little DeathsInhale.

You are the straw falling;
I am the camel's back.
You are the
cracks
that stay just so long
in the windshield
until it
shatters.

I'm watching you grow;
I'm aching with apprehension.
I'm counting the muscles in my stomach
as they contract,
just trying to stay sane.

Exhale.

You are the release,
the sun setting on a perfect day.
I am the horizon,
welcoming you in with open
arms.

You are the waves;
I am watching you grow.
I'll prepare for your breaks,
for your rises and falls:
And I will learn
how to surf
yet.

octanetiny birds
tripping veins
whispers calling your name

raindrops on
windowpanes
your voice is my octane

The DreamingSome mornings I can feel
your lips pressed to my forehead,
and when I pull closer I wake
to empty blankets.

That's when I roll onto my back
and close my eyes tighter
to will your form next to me,
though wishful thinking
never made anybody materialize before.
I always hope I'll be the first to manage it.

I have walked with you in dreaming
ten years on and off,
and you found me by chance in words.
We loved without meeting for
seven months.
Why shouldn't my mind
conjure you here?

For that's most of what we were,
dreams and words,
before you ventured to me.
If I could hold out to holding you,
I should be able to will you here.
We've wai

To Let You KnowTo everyone who can't stop themselves from caring
Who can't help but be hurt every time
They're made to feel like they're
invisible
I just wanted to let you know
If you peek out your window
And look out at the sky
Perhaps you'll realize
Somewhere out there
Is someone else doing just the same thing
Waiting for someone to notice them
For doing everything they can do
Just as you are.
Perhaps you'll find out
That under the immense sky
There's someone out there
Waiting to notice you.

But if you look out your window
And see only sky
I just wanted to let you know
It's okay to cry
And feel lost and alone,
Set adrift and apart.
You don't need to ato

_{a velociraptor sized thank you for the favourite!

(fun side note, when I originally wrote this it told me I spelt velociraptor wrong and did I mean overdecorate. so I changed the spelling and it asked me if I meant photoreceptor. and then I googled it. now it thinks I mean vectorial.)}
