The world span faster for a while,
Whirled round in pallid circles
Of white damask.
Soothed out the rough edges of obscurity
Into circular adventure.
Child-like adventure.
Carefree and all-consuming.
The peeling back of masking leaves
Across the stretching woodland path:
There was a green sheen across sight,
Nothing rose-coloured or scarily clichéd;
A natural sense shrouded in questions,
Acceptance and endless contemplation.
The disarray of thoughts
Is a monolith to grapple with;
Neverending, irrational and fearful.
But the cloth fitted so tightly, so snugly
To a planed and soft skin,
That each twitch and tense of a mu

An Overt Literary Human
Over.
Overt.
Overtones.
The jumble of letters
Came suddenly
From a mindset
Of rigidity.
I was never set on
Rhyme and
Syllabic sequences,
Too square.
There were quests
For more circular edges,
Greater freedom;
A chance to breathe.
But look where it got us...
Back to the overtly human,
Pushing the boundaries
Until letters are no more
A sequence,
But a tool.
Something to live for,
Something to be ruled by,
Something...
To Hold On To.
Capitalise,
Minimalise,
Categorise,
Monopolise,
We are all subordinate
To Words:
As they flash in our minds,
Bombard our sights,
Infiltrate eardrums.
Under siege.
As they find a n
The tame tides
Of the world
Rocked the steady onslaught
Of freedom...
Lost some stragglers
Along the way;
Caught between
Commitment and desire,
But we pulled through
In this chaos of panic,
Bitterness and
Self-destruction
Funny how we can
Be so complacent
About the things we
Deem important.
Ironic.
And it sometimes
Makes me wonder
How we manage
To go on...
Watching The World Go By by petit-chou-fleur, literature
Literature
Watching The World Go By
Mumured seconds pass by
In a haze of daydreaming,
Routine, and monotony.
The soft winds
Aren't so significant
Amidst the pounding buzz
Of the flailing world.
The ceiling doesn't seem so white.
The features not quite as clear
Without such blind bustling
So...
A snap
A flash in the pan
And suddenly gravity's acting upwards
Sucking everything into a
Whirling Vortex
Of fear
And strange unknown faces
That once lived in dreams...
It's cold out here
But my muscles twitch
And a smile spreads softly,
Bravely clinging onto
The moments I can lay
And watch the world go by
Shadows pass
On a straight line path
To leave kisses
On neck, arms and lips
Skin touches
And the world spins
Intoxicated
Unleashes free will
The eerie black opening
Led thoughts to evil
A masked shying face
Angled, poised, free to kill
The lure of lust
And its lingering impulse
Drove home in the rain,
Weather clouds chased it away
An interrupted ripple
Delayed for a moment
As the brain waves crackled:
I tear open the book
I've so longed to read
Light-hearted, almost funny
Though uncompassionate
What was the excuse this time?
Rape?
In the mirage of faces
One thing was
Distinctly clear
The omnipresence...
It's a mou
The Calm After The Storm by petit-chou-fleur, literature
Literature
The Calm After The Storm
There was a cruel silence
In the way the wind blew
The ghosts of yesterday
The hopes for tomorrow
Everything in unknown
In the echoing vacuum
Not sure how to survive
Not sure how to live
The sounds of a bullet
Resounds in the air
And the smell of fear
Still tantalises nostrils
But the post-apocalyptic
Sun shines on
In the pale blue sky
Of tolerance
No white dove flew by
Just a breath of oxygen
On the air
A chance to breathe again
Slipping away
Into sullen hands,
Dirtied, shrivelled,
Depersonified.
There was a smile,
Or a flicker,
A look at least of joy.
A warm embrace.
A single tear,
Licking skin.
A dark room filled with people,
A miasma of voices
Merged to one pounding melody,
You dance.
Feel the emotion in each of your limbs,
Watch eyes blink in exultation.
Then touch, threaten.
Tearful girls amidst
Violence, drunkenness,
Stupidity.
It's spoiled, tainted, rejected.
Falling through precipices
Waiting for the end
To come crashing upward,
The beat of a heart
Backing a train of thought.
The intake of breath,
Secondary,
To emotion.
Touch my
Recounting memories, wonders and thoughts,
Recoiling into a past that twists endlessly,
As I walk a path shrouded with doubt.
Threads twist,
Some refuse to intertwine.
A lost mind,
filled with black hope.
A wild dream.
A quick passing dilemma.
A topic.
A subject discussed,
yet unspoken.
Existence...
Time delays reaction.
Jealousy clouds judgement.
A rolling supply of injected thoughts,
stranded yet salvaged,
Amidst ruins that rebuild.
Appearance...
Gifts from a god
Untouched by the living, felt by the dead
Muffled by secrecy
An unknown plea, from darkened beginnings
Imagining an end, a stop
Then discovering infinity
Nothing remains certain, save your fate.
Searching for answers that don't exist in reality
But continure through plains of alternate creations
Artistic apparitions fill thought mind and soul
But cannot be felt until time renews...
Inexplicable and extraordinary
Meaningless normality
Comparison of the mind
Each thing is unique, relationships cease to appear.
Authors are thinkers,
Who manifest their thoughts through imaginative plots
Language is a setback
Whi
I've seen children fall. Deaf
Stop. Freeze then falter
I've felt birds drop from the sky.
Wing's too tired, too worn.
Mute
Their last song
But I still long to dream...
I've heard mothers gag on their tears. Blind
As I turned my head away.
I still remember the tear and crackle of each and every treasured page
As the house burnt down, tumbling. Shattering
Every tear... every dream...
Each lonely nights spent looking at the moon.
Each ticking second wading in the warm streams. Skinned knees
Each and
Every last dance and cherished
Whisper...
And I ask...
Where's my cold nights?
MY tears.
MY hopes, MY dreams?
When's MY time?
Left Vulnerable.
Like I always was,
Only this time with
Vultures circling
To take a bite of me
From my ironically
Deep grave.
Everyone wants a piece.
Not least the worker ants
Who lost their Queen,
End of the gene pool,
We snatched their only one.
You only live once.
But die a million deaths,
One life, one sentence.
Well I lost that one chance,
No use shifting the blame
On demons. That Demon.
I'll feed your chocolate addiction
With a trip to the supermarket
So you regurgitate the acid
And scorch my skin.
Make me feel.
Impale me like a
Christingle with
Ten-fold sharp cocktail sticks.
I am the cheese and pineapple

My head... isn't that where art is supposed to come from?
I haven't written poetry in so long I almost feel like it's escaped me, I've lost the knack, not the inspiration, maybe just the time to convert my thoughts into something so aesthetically cryptic. But coming on here again after so long makes me so sad that my degree seems to have consumed my life.
I miss writing. Maybe some day I'll get back to it.

I cannot believe how fucking awesome they were... seriously, there is no word on earth to describe it. The whole of Saturday passed by in a sort of daze - while they were playing it didn't even feel like I was there!
We got there like 5 hours before the gates opened... so we had a veeery long wait. We even resorted to picking indivdual sesame seeds off hot dogs just to pass the time... now that is extreme!
When we finally got inside, we were right at the front of the Golden Circles, we only had a few lines of people to the front and to the side - which was immense considering there was about 80,000 or so people there! As the tension and exc
Sorry guys I am a ghost of deviant art...
And I will post a poem right now if I can summon the energy to go upstairs and get it... right I'm going... oh the effort lol.
Well things have been hectic a bit recently, I spent the easter holidays sleeping... what's wrong with not seeing the hours before 12 each day... I have to say getting up at 7 for school is wrong - and bring on study leave!
I can officially say I'm sick of A Levels now, its got to the point where I can't be bothered to start trying to get to the root of what I'm doing, they are just damn hard! It'll all be ok though, my english language investigation is thank god finally ov
Heeeey! My god it has. It's so weird, I haven't been on here for ages and it feels kinda sad when I do that it seems to have lost all its fun for me! Looks like you're still going good and strong, glad to see it! Things are great thanks! At York uni, what about you, what you upto?? Nice to hear from you
I'm up to my eyes in it, which is why it's taken ages to reply to this. Sorry. Work's been a pain recently, coming up to stocktake and whatnot. S'not been much fun. But it should calm down soon. Should be able to focus on emoting a lil' more. How's things been in the time it's taken me to get back to you?
