Specter by PhoenixScribe, literature

Literature

Specter

How many years have I roamed through these halls? I search for something that I cannot find. The darkness encloses, pressing on me; I exist in a vacuum: bodiless. I must have done something terribly wrong To go on for the remainder of time With needles tearing the skin I don’t have, I gasp for air to fill lungs that aren’t there. I search through the halls to look for myself. The screams I hear can only be my own. I wish I knew what I did to deserve Such a dreadfully empty existence So I could beg a shred of forgiveness.

I Thought Wrong by PhoenixScribe, literature

Literature

I Thought Wrong

I thought when you said you loved me, Said you cared for me, and that you would Always protect me, that it was true, But it wasn’t. I thought we were two halves of a coin, That we were made for each other And would be together for all time, But we weren’t. I thought we were inseparable, That we’d be side by side, That I could rely on you, But I couldn’t. I thought I was the one Who was not strong enough To bear our burdens together as one, But I wasn’t. I thought when your words cut me And you ceased to trust me, That I could bear the pain, But I shouldn’t. I thought when we began to fail

Venomous by PhoenixScribe, literature

Literature

Venomous

I want to be kind But each word from my mouth Carries venomous sting. I want to be gentle But blades cross my lips And you smile sadly Wiping blood from the wounds That I made. I cry in frustration Take you into my arms Press you close to my chest And keep silent. My traitorous tongue Cannot be allowed To hurt the one I love. Why are my words So horribly harsh When all I want to say Is I love you

Nightmares by PhoenixScribe, literature

Literature

Nightmares

Greyson was sleeping. He knew he was sleeping because he had laid down, in his bed, with the specific intention of sleeping. And sleep, he reasoned, was the only thing that could explain the nightmare. He thought if he just ignored it, it might go away. He was still lying on his back, in bed. Something had joined him, though. He noticed it first because of the small weight that had fallen near his feet. At first it had reminded him of when Simba, his cat, would climb up on the bed with him, but Simba had been dead for two years. Simba had never given him such a profound sense of dread, either. Like most nightmares, this one heightened his s

Love by PhoenixScribe, literature

Literature

Love

I want someone who will take me on traveling. Someone who won’t leave me at home to go on adventures but who will choose me as his companion, sidekick, and partner over and over and over again. I want someone who would die to protect me and someone I would die to protect. Someone who wants to share everyday thrills with me as much as the special thrills. Be happy when the smell of my baking permeates the house. Laugh when the cat does something silly. Cuddle with me in the dark when we watch a movie. Breathe deeply when the first smell of Autumn comes. Take pleasure in my body. Be goofy with me. Be serious with me. Love me when I am unl

In the Last Seconds by PhoenixScribe, literature

Literature

In the Last Seconds

I am going to die. How many times have I been here before? Too many to count. But this time for sure, I am going to die. There have been so many ways I could have died. I’d take any of them over this. I’ve had so many things pressed against my body—knives, sticks, teeth, claws, the bodies of other men. Some of them even entered my body. But not this time. This time is different. This time something will leave my body. My soul will leave my body. Flat on my back, face turned upward toward my killer, my soul will be ripped from my body. And that will be it. Any other death would have offered me some solace. Any other death

Tug-of-War

Congratulations! You’re a girl. Here’s how to make the world your pearl. Take these bows and lace and dresses; Don’t forget to crimp your tresses. When you get older—so much more! We’ll take you down to the drug store. Let’s get some lipstick, some blush too— Oh, honey, that’s too much on you. Too much bright color on your face Looks like you come from outer space. You honestly look like a whore. Don’t wear that blue stuff anymore. And now the clothes; you’ll love this stuff! They’re flimsy, though, so don’t get rough. Don’t jump or climb or run around

Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Today | A Christmas Carol by Tarnisis, literature

Literature

Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Today | A Christmas Carol

Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Today 1 . "It is required of every man that his spirit travel far, lending help to those he can, no matter who they are. But if you don't go forth in life spreading joy and easing pain, your spirit will go forth in death and you shall wear a chain…" -Jacob Marley ( Link by Link ) ~ Belle Cratchit had lived a full life. She had been blessed with a beautiful little family ( a husband, son, and daughter) and plenty of good cheer. And when she lay dying, they had been beside her, whispering words of love as she left the world of the living. At first there had been darkness, but as her spirit rose past the confines of her body, she hadn't been afraid. Because she could see it. A vibrant spiral of pure light that beckoned her, welcoming her without words. . . But before she could enter into the light, something stopped her. Something was missing. Past her purview, it waited. Her life had been one of joy. Her family knew she was beyond pain, and no longer

Wonderful Addiction by PhoenixScribe, literature

Literature

Wonderful Addiction

My body begs me for rest, But I must not oblige it. My fingers type strange rhythm On the black computer keys, And my eyes, un-shut, go dry. My lips press in a straight line Until they curve in a smile At my ingenuity. Then comes the awful, empty Gap between my brilliant thoughts, And I stare at the cat's eye, Blinking at me on the screen. I think: "Should I make him cry? Should she kiss him on the lips? Or should he find a treasure He had thought was lost for good?" Finally I lure my muse And creativity flows. I am addicted to this; Stories are a part of me.

Poetry

0 min read

As you know, I've been going through a really rough time, but I'm also doing extremely well. I've been going back through some of my old work and I've found a lot of poetry that I just--don't recall. I know that in the middle of my darkest times I repressed a lot of things that have made their way to the surface as I've been able to deal with them. Apparently during my repression I also created a small number of very emotional poems, so I have a small backlog that I will be uploading over the next few weeks. Kind of interesting. Especially considering how far I've come in my healing just in the last 7 months. I hope you enjoy the little thin

Nothing but Ashes

0 min read

I'm going through a divorce. I've been separated from my husband since early March, but because of citizenship laws, I was only able to file 3 days ago. He should be served the papers either today or tomorrow... I do not write poetry. Poetry, for me, is what happens when too much emotion builds up and it finally releases in a spew of word vomit. Poetry for me is overflow. An accident. A reflex. And it's been happening a lot lately. On the other hand, with this separation and me not being able to find a new job yet, I have also made a lot of progress on my current novel. No one should have to go through what I've gone through, but, as I've

Revisions

0 min read

I'm thinking of going a different direction with the Journal of Malin than I have been. I've also been thinking of scrapping it altogether and doing something different. I'm aware that because of my inactivity I've lost a lot of my viewers, but I wanted to reach out anyway and see what everyone else thought. The revisions would take the story out of Malin's journal and put the story in first person instead. Where the story would end up leading just wouldn't work in journal form very well nor would it make sense for her to be writing about it. If I scrapped it I would provide another story centering around Seiya but Malin would not be in it.

Thanks for the +fav

on A Hundred Tiny Threads. You say you have a novel you are revising? Is it on dA for review? Would love to see your work.

Hello, denlm. Thanks for asking! My full length work is not up on dA. I do have smaller things (honestly less tweaked and perfected things) up on my page if you wish to visit them for a little entertainment. I haven't posted anything new of my own in quite some time because I have been working on larger projects, but eventually I'll get back to some smaller ones.
Thanks for your kind comment.
