My October Faves
Once in a Moon.O'er the twilit isles they soared,
weaving their hearts in the stratus.
He bore the rain in his azure scales.
She, the breath of air in her ivory eyes.
They intertwined within the clouds,
showering the soil below.
Wound about each other like vines,
their kiss precipitates the growth
of life from the dirt. Green rows
spring from the gardens in time.
With morning sun, the parted skies
linger with mist of whispered goodbyes.
Let me fool you.Weave the black lace through my heart.
Cinch the pieces back together.
Trace the paintbrush on my lips.
Curve an everlasting smile.

I feel you should know that I would take you to Aokigahara with me, to drown in the sea of trees. We would step delicately over the personal belongings left behind by other people so willing to end their lives. We could curl up in a crystalline cavern and whisper bocca chiusa until the sweet smell of pine aroused every sense within our slowly dying bodies. (Because everybody is dying, just sometimes we don't feel it.) We'll mingle together sensually, touched by the riveting dusk at the base of Mount Fuji, the center of the world, la petite mort.
I pen you verses, sonnets, present to you that which is me through my words strummed doloroso to their crescendo, but I hide the texts on scraps of notebook paper and I never deliver. You'll never see, my muse, those words splashed upon reels of tape stretched from tree to tree (my heart to yours). In a silent forest

I am the young stream through which the refuse runs;

so you don't see the shift of beguiling eyes;
you miss the timber of velvet voice;
you ignore the nervous twining of fingers into
blameless shirt fabric and tangled, tantalizing hair.

dusting places it had never been,
muting the way fog does
catching the leaves unaware
while I peered from the
empty nests in their open hands
the snow came early this year
with birds leaving long before
the first chill arrived
in the wake of their migration
in every direction I could fathom
and the exposure it presented
where I'd been warmed by the sun
but the snow came early this year
as I knew it would
when the spiders came in,
and the last long day grew dim

Life can take you places
Whenever I attempt to throw myself back into the wonderful community here on DeviantArt, life has a way of pulling me back to my nitty gritty reality.
In all fairness, my life is going in a wonderful direction but I miss the creativity of this place, and so I will not promise to be back here for good, but I promise that I will make more of an effort with you wonderful creative hearts :heart:
Since graduating from the University of Derby, life has been pretty busy, and I won't bore you with all the details but here's what I have been up to (and hopefully this may explain my absence)
I was in a terrifying car crash in September 2014 which t
I've done it!
I've completed my degree and I am now a BA (Hons) History graduate from the University of Derby! :wahoo:
Actually, I finished on the 1st of May but I've been celebrating on holiday with my Robert :heart: we went to West Sussex, exploring places such as Battle where the Battle of Hastings took place as well as Dover, Brighton and Eastbourne. We had such a lovely time, and now it's back to reality and work. :shakefist:
I have a job interview on Friday for a Recruitment Consultant in Birmingham, and I just hope I get it :fingerscrossed: I am currently working as a Receptionist at a hotel quite close by, and the one thing I have learnt is that
Where I have been and PCOS
Hello everyone,
I am slowly coming back onto dA - I have been reading and viewing all of your art pieces recently. I haven't :+fav: anything simply because I didn't want to make my presence back on here so known yet. I know it has been such a long time since I've really interacted on dA but it's slowly starting to happen again.
I have been keeping a personal blog and diary to keep my head clear of my studies and issues which are currently going on. I'm nearing the end of my degree in BA History, with just my dissertation and 2 more modules to go. I have no idea what I want to do after I graduate, but there are quite a few plans in the pipeli
Happy Belated New Year
I always apologise for the long breaks I have from deviantArt, and it's always for the same reason. I have been so busy with university and my studies that I often have little time for myself, and the days off I have I spend with my lovely other half :) Unfortunately I have been unable to have some time to myself over Christmas as I anticipated due to the busy nature of.. well, Christmas I guess.
Thank you to those who wished me a happy birthday in December, it's wonderful to know people on here still care and think of me even if I am a bit absent and distracted.
I always think back to deviantArt as a way of release and recovery, and I gues
