LoveLove

Love can be as heartwarming as a mother's love,
Or as strong as a bolder,
Love can be as calm as the sea,
Or as soft as a pillow.
But you must be careful because love can be as coy as a snake,
Or as deadly as the Grim Reaper,
Love is the key to the future,
But you must choose what door you go through.

Back ThenLooking back,
everything was so simple,
so pure.

Laughs everywhere,
not a care in the world
Those years were nice
Maybe even the best so far

But with age comes
a burden: knowledge.
To know life
is to truly know despair

So during the
worst of times,
I choose to forget
and be pure once more

Like Shattered GlassBroken bones like shattered glass
Crash down to the floor.

Her screams go unnoticed
Until she falls eerily silent.

"Shhh, it's only me."

Can anyone hear?
Does anyone know?

Arms pinned above her head,
She freezes in fear.

Please let it be quick this time.
Please let this end.

Close your eyes, child
And leave your body behind.

Tapped in these moments
I cannot forget.

I will always remember, and I cannot
Sleep.

Who I amWho I am ?

I am a human, not an animal or any despicable creature.
I am not a ghost neither,
I'm a human,
I breath, I feel, I hear and I can see everything going on around me.
I am not blind, but you are ;
Because you think I'm invisible,
Because you can't see my humanity.
I feel happiness, joy, sadness, anger all in one day,
I even fly so high, reach the sky but I also get down under the ground in the same day.
I am a human,
I have rights and obligation, I have done my obligations but I am still waiting to obtain my rights.
I am fr

A flower in the darkIn a world of darkness a small flower grows.
So soft and sweet its existence against the cruel darkness that surrounds it.
It slowly grows the only life in this barren world.
A lonely life it doesn't realize.
A blissful peace, full of an unknown longing, of unknown feelings.

In a world of light nothing in the barren ground grows.
A planet full of light, yet no life to use the gift.
The world slowly dies with no life to live on it.
A painful death that none will morn.

The flower reaches out in the darkness searching for something unknown.
The world cries for life.
So quiet is their beings but to them it is everything.
A flower who

Remember the FightRemember the fight,
Once more I get up and dust off the muck of the world
Remember the fight
I pick up my sword, put it into the sheath
Remember the fight
I begin to walk, one step at a time
Remember the fight
If I walk alone, so be it
If nobody cares, so be it
I can't let the world win,
Cuz then theres nothing.
Remember the fight
Just carry on as best as I can
Remember the fight,
Cuz that's the only thing worth living for now
Remember the fight

Wishes for a Story LifeSometimes I wish I was the knight in shining armor fending off the dragon enveloped in the mists of evil, saving the world from destruction—The hero whose name is upon everyone’s lips as they raise their goblets in my honor.

Sometimes I wish I was the queen who had the power of an eternal witch, the queen everyone feared. They shiver under the height of my wickedness and could do nothing more. I will always win.

Sometimes I wish I was the woodland elf who befriended all wild things. The one who loosed arrows at those who dare disturb mother’s land. I am guardian and the roots of the earth are my home.

Sometimes I wish I c

Poem: The World Looks Better With My Eyes ClosedThe World Looks Better With My Eyes Closed

I know the dark underbelly of this place
I know the black underneath the sun
I've lived the horror of the nights
I know how this world works
And I know that it looks better
With my eyes closed

Starving children and homeless families
Are living among us and around us
The tragedies of this place will never go away
The hurricanes and tornadoes never cease
The crying eyes and broken hearts
Will never leave
I could think back
And remember all the lights
But I still know
The world looks better with my eyes closed

Ignorance is bliss, it's sad but true
To see the earth through a child's eye

Light of an angelYour presence allures me
It also ensures me
That I'll be protected
Never neglected
Your wings glow white
All through the night
As you fly gracefully
I wait patiently
Because I know you will come
No mater what I have become

Heart of Iceshe wishes for a heart of ice

a heart to hide her fears

she wishes for a heart of ice

a heart to freeze her tears

but if her heart of ice meets fire

then perhaps it will thaw

for if her heart of ice meets fire

she will surely pour out her emotions raw

Not HumanAm I human?
I'm not aren't I?
I'm a freak
A monster
I don't belong here
I belong in a circus,
or a mental asylum right?

I'm too sick in the head
Too insane to think straight
Destined to walk alone for eternity
To scare everything that crosses my path,
And ruining every little thing I touch.

No, I'm not human
Nor am I normal
I've learned to accept who I am,
though nobody else can't

Chasing me out
Breaking me apart
Beating me senseless
Just enough to drive me to the edge,
enough to make me give in....
to the disgust of life's true nature

Your warmthI am perfect for you
You know you need me

Every time you go outside
You miss me, wishing you would
Have had me wrapped around you.

My skin is like cotton, so soft and warm
You gave me a name. But now I think
You forgot, because now you leave me
Alone in a dark room.

It's now warm outside, and now
I know why you need me no more.
I cry alone at night, wishing you
Let me wrap my warm body around you.

I can't wait till you need me again
I keep you happy and warm.
Your skin makes my body smell like
A sexy being. I long to touch your naked skin

Now I know, that I am the one that
Needs you tonight....

Will you hold me?
Wrap your

Here, and everywhere"And when you leave us," you ask me, "where will we go to find you?"

When I'm gone, I will come back to you in a myriad of things. From my flesh there will be grass, from my bones there will be trees. I will be there in the earth, in the sunshine, in the sea. Countless grains of me will tango with the snowflakes in the wind, mingling with your hair, caressing your skin. The butterfly that grazed your fingertip, that is where I will be. The deer that escaped from the corner of your vision, that too was me. I will be at the edge of the sky and at the corners of the earth. Look, and you will find me here, there, and everywhere.

"But we call ou

Lullabies of The DeadBarren as a desert,
is the heart of many
-They don't know what is about to come.
A crying child,
is the pleasure of many.

A raven sits,
upon the shoulder
-Eyes like fire to see the soul.
A master of disguise,
is this fine little advisor.

The sun rises,
and her lips move
-An intimidating smirk to bring down armies.
A raised hand,
will calm the storm.

Eyes will shake,
and bones will break
-A feared ruler to cast the first stone.
Shadows of the dead,
will sing the lullabies.

I checked the actual deviation. The deviant did not give you permission to use this image. You simply posted a comment and used this image. This has happened before with you, please note that it is considered a POLITE courtesy to actually wait until the deviant responds and says 'yes, you can use it', before actually using it.

Please be courteous to other deviants.

=Shadowsoflosthope Nov 16, 2012

excuse me i asked the deviant a long time ago and they agreed that i could freely use it as long as i made a comment towards him and his work through a note. please don't chide people until you completely understand the situation. ANd yes have done what you said before , while telling the deviants if they have a problem i will take it down IMMEDIATELY. and some have but most haven't minded as long as i give credit
And i'm always courteous
