Curse and Blessing of Acting by Dragonj1080, literature

Literature

Curse and Blessing of Acting

She kissed me once. It meant nothing, but she did kiss me. She kissed my cheek, the left one, right on the cheek bone, not the fleshy part. Of course, I know it was simply a kiss for her. I would never take such a simple gesture as a kiss for more than it was meant to be. Kisses are given, kisses are taken; the Europeans know this. Besides, she was already in character, dressed up for her performance. It wasn't really her kissing me; it was the tan face with the flawless cherry colored lipstick that had just the right amount of rouge on its cheeks to bring out the striking Athenian eyes. It wasn't the girl I had liked for a solid year straigh

Literature

Someday

I have a flower with white petals and a yellow center that grows at the end of a pier. At night, it's lit up by the moon and shines and I can see it clearly across the water. I have dreamed about my flower for many years and tried my best to make it grow, but I didn't want it to be aware that it was me doing that. I like to tell myself that it's a beautiful flower, even though I haven't seen it in many years. They tell me it's not there anymore, that the wind blew it away or that the sea came up and swallowed it, but I know it's still there. I can see it in my mind. If I can see it in my mind, then I know it's still there. It's still at the p

Feelings by Dragonj1080, literature

Literature

Feelings

"Self suicidal" Redundant, but yes But for a good reason But not good enough Desire to rip And scar and tear All done for love That I can't bear These blue threads do Scream to be shed With water red And salty too. The pulsing strand With its jewel The ought sought gem Of ruby shade The rush of it To let it flow Euphoria Must let it go The urge, it grows Within deep rising To wield the tool And split the skin

Untitled

Shattered dreams and broken lives with empty tears and heavy sighs cause blackened screams and heavy hearts that live and thrive alone in dark. The time runs on like broken clocks or bleeds from it as blood from clots flowing out from empty thoughts to fill and crush another heart. Another heart with acid burns engraved with hate and painful scars that bend and curl in wicked lines that wound and kill but never die.

The Creek by Dragonj1080, literature

Literature

The Creek

The wood floors creak While the clocks bong With the ominous groans Of ticking time. The wind doesn't howl But creeps stealthily in Bringing the cold with it, Like a silent rising river. A thud resounds From outside Probably just a dead body Thrown down from on high. In the back, the creek is flooding Soon it'll sweep Natalie's doll away She shouldn't have left it there She should've listened to her mom But it's not her fault the creek is flooding The rain started it. And Michael. It's his fault. He's the one who always played in the mud. He didn't listen to mom. He should've. Natalie's doll is gone now. The river took it

Literature

A Turbid Beryl Veil

A turbid beryl veil obscures the night A sheet of frost, already palely lit. The stars are dark; the air blows coldly Through your hair, so sweetly sweeping it aswirl. The silence whispers secrets in the snow, While northern lights maintain their vivid flare. Your eyes, the hazel, flawless, blaze of lights, Like glass, reflect their boundless, burning glow. Stygian shadows swallow sunken stones, Their boundaries faintly outlined by the night. The silhouettes entwine on banks of ice, As we gaze up above on lines of fire. Though in the dark, I hear you smile. Heaven burns for only you tonight. The flakes of white surround us where

Ode to a Mole

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height Numbers can reach when placed under thy light, As I stay awake, pondering at night. Thou still continue to awe and amaze Me as I use thee in various ways: For liters, for grams, for converting right, For balance, and when obeying gas laws, For hiding, digging, using your small claws, For finding a path, though you have no sight. Oh Avogadro, how can I thank thee? For the number thou hast provided me.

As I sit, crouched, under the groves, I hear the screams repeat from dreams. The beat of wings from close by crows, Echo back from lurid scenes. The stench still reeks inside my nose And clings reluctantly, even Disgustingly inside my throat. I cannot shake the shivers or fear. The air is freezing, darkly frore. My mind is slowly numbing now. The evening chill prevents all pain Or feeling. Now I find myself Drooping, slowly falling towards the Ground. My brain is slowly closing Down. My ears stop listening for the Sound. Here I am, I'm in a dream. I'm walking near a copse of trees. I'm stealing softly through the greens. I'm

Luster

Why is she so beautiful? Why Are her eyes like diamonds shining Sapphires gleaming bright on velvet Sky? Why, just to see her Smiling makes me feel like I am Worthy- like I might speak to her And then reveal my secret love For her. And every time I see Her face, the beauty shines so clear; Her smile is so pure and kind, Her voice so stirring and sincere. Her own elusive loveliness Is equaled only by her love Of life. Her gentle, holy looks Resemble quiet, sacred brooks. She smiles often, softly bright, Like stars on clear, cold, cloudless nights, That shine from Heaven down to us To bring the joy of peace and light. Her ra

long time no talk.

A month is due time to change a past journal entry. especially when that said previous journal entry is somewhat depressing and doesn't properly reflect my attitude and/or mood during the said month. aight, so how is everyone doing? i've been up to... not much lately. i've got exams this week, but that's no biggie. only 2 exams to study for because i took 4 AP's, which cancels out 3 exams. one of the AP tests was optional. sooo i have to take english and spanish exams. but english studying doesn't count because she said basically that we "couldn't study for the exam. if you read the books, you'll do fine. if you didn't, well... better learn

Devious Journal Entry

0 min read

this is an unusual type of post for me. but i feel i should do it, in case something happens in the future. one of my friends on DA (i think he was actually the first person that i enjoyed talking to, who i felt a lot in common with on the site) is storyofnothing. the first part is his journal entry, then my comment on his journal, then his reply to my comment. it reminds me how short our lives are and how much we all need a friend at certain times in life. storyofnothing's journal entry: im not sure where its all heading right now...its been a while since i cracked the whip and popped out some nice stuff. tommrow im gonna go wander throu

Take the number of vehicles in the field; A. Multiply by the probably rate of failure; B. Multiply that by the average cost of an out-of-court settlement; C. A, times B, times C, equals X. Now if X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
