Stars and Stripes by OurBraveHeroine, literature

Literature

Stars and Stripes

You are my American dream Stars and stripes; mainly stars Pocks in the sky, pinprick holes in the Canvas over some electric light You are my biggest regret I wish we had happened while I slept Like a car crash that wakes me, shaking I'd sleep with a smile and wonder "What if...?" And then wonder no more What's the opposite of nostalgia? I'm glad we happened but I almost wish I'd lived in eternal darkness Those stars blaze on the back of my eyelids, and I'll Always miss them. 3rd degree burns don't just peel away like sunstroke. Plastic glow is not the same. I am my Statue of Liberty, and You think you got out while you could I could splinter

Salem

4.30. You look at me Challengingly. But you do not scare Me. I am a girl in a Fat suit, a selkie - a beautiful Juxtaposition - I never met an ugly Seal woman. He said he’d chase me back to Salem. Where I belong. He said I was Enchanting. We played out princess and Frog - or was I the ugly Duckling? I’m not as oblivious as you Thought I was. He never said the right Things. Why did I want a poisoned Cauldron? We all love to feel Love and loved and he had me Bleeding all the red Meanings. I hoped he’d stir if I brushed poison ivy Lips. He didn’t Twitch. I hoped he’d bubble if I ripped my pastry puff Ballgown. He d

Black Hole Obscurity

They called her a mothgirl but how could she be when She wasn’t drawn to flames? She wanted nothing more than To stop herself getting burned She didn’t like the feel of hard skin callouses on her fingers (Mountainous ruptures are not fun or attractive when - A salesman takes your hand like a fortune teller Traces measles and pox and promises All can be solved with £34 - reduced, today only to £22, Like that could stop an addictive habit Like that could stop you wanting to feel pain each time you push Fingerprints on ink pads? Not fucking likely.) She liked feeling things with them - That was her plan for tonight When

She

She is milky tea soy swirls watercolour eyes and that painted smile Camerabulb flashing seems so old 50s Hollywood glamour Whispered between silk sheets, not paper rustles And I, wizened, white hair, gold teeth Wonder why Wendy is intent on befriending me? Before I was sure she’d be ‘no comment’ to my 40s noir beige coat turned collar reporter Though my tongue, pink whale, blubber blubbering Pulped fiction halted press, I’d rather pound print than pillows I was sure she’d slice scales in two, walk on land just to have the chance to Give up her voice Ribbons and riddles turn to twine and blahblahblah Van Gough mas

Literature

Happy New Year!

Everyone else is downstairs I can hear them, chanting numbers and watching clock faces Tick over While I hide up here, cradling your corpse Counting my whispers into your forehead Ten. The first time we met and I thought you were - pause for breath - The most beautiful thing I had ever seen Not lust or envy; admiration (It’s not a sin) And you don’t even remember the sun warming your hair on those steps Nine. I’m afraid I made a terrible mistake, Bad phrasing “It’s a long story” And it was I who pushed you away Accidents happen, they said And your words? “We were never going to be ‘best friend

Swimming With Sharks by OurBraveHeroine, literature

Literature

Swimming With Sharks

I thought I was a girl in a Koi pond Fish trace ribbons through crystal water Bright coloured tails and rainbow trails And splashes of diamond, ruby, champagne Rain Shatters the pool’s surface Waves sink into the shore, kicking and screaming The friends I made dreaming Smile fangs All this time I was Swimming with sharks My truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth Was nothing but a lie Thirsty slits in my throat. I can’t climb out without drowning But to stay in this shark pool would be to be eaten alive. I’m a girl in a tsunamied Koi pond, treading water Fearing I’m about to be sold downriver, and Watching shado

Coven - The Master Race, Powers Optional by techgnotic, journal

Coven - The Master Race, Powers Optional

Feb 13, 2014

Watch depthRADIUS Share |About|Previous Journal By techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic) The FX Channel has just concluded the highly successful third season of its American Horror Story series. Each season has featured its own stand-alone storyline, insuring against series stagnation and creating a story competition as the ever-ravenous horror audience eagerly awaits each season’s next outrageous attempt to top the last. Coven, the third entry in the series, a witchcraft genre entry, has not disappointed. Its star, Jessica Lange, was nominated for a Golden Globe. Critical reception, despite the considerable gory fx (envelope-pushing for network TV),

Souls!

I saw this piece of work by !mollis-biteme-27 (https://www.deviantart.com/mollis-biteme-27) which was a really long list of questions about souls and it got me thinking, and I decided I wanted to answer the questions, but it seemed like too much for a comment, so I'm putting it here. These are the original questions: http://fav.me/d35cxm8 1. A soul is where you feel emotions. It isn't also a conscience, it is the part of you that tells you what you want to do inside. 2. It looks like a small ghost, grey/white, with an absence of colour for eyes and the mouth. It doesn't have legs, it has arms but no hands. 3. Inside you, sort of in the middle. Not in a
