Frayed Edges

I bleed along the frayed edges Of hope lost Cowering in corners Out of sight – Unwitnessed As your eyes turn away And I can but turn To the broken mirror That my heart has become A sight, shattered, shattering No man, no more Looking back. There is nothing more That I need say Nothing else That you can tell me Nothing left For us to feel Like the shards of two pots, shattered The shards flung to the wind Condemned to never again Connect along those Frayed edges.

La Dame de la Rose et Etoiles

Pink slip in my clenched fist, That solemn void reflecting In my step. Slamming doors behind me I hit the gas, speeding Into the dusk. Blazing street lights pass me by On this empty highway. My only companions, now The road, the sand, and The darkening horizon stretching On and on, forever beyond my Reach. Johnny Cash, Blaring through a wireless radio Taped to my dashboard. Next to it, letters from you I should have, perhaps, Discarded long ago. Burned, burned, In a burning ring Of fire. Along with the wedding band I sold To a pawn shop that very same day. And now the streetlights, too, Have left me. And still I drive, forever on Destin

NaPo #29 - Sub-Zero Sonnet

Shall I compare thee to a Winter’s day? You are surely no kinder or less harsh. Sometimes it seems you delight in foul play; How did I not see your smile was a farce? Like when you subtly blocked me on Snapchat: Cold and unyielding like unending snow. Even a frozen lake would be less flat Than your character - it’s all just a show. No, your eternal winter will not thaw, And your frozen heart will not let it go. So let all the boys stare at you in awe While in these shadows I will walk alone And long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, I hope you choke, and I hope their balls freeze.

NaPo #26 - Quiet Reminiscence

You remember how, back in the day We used to run and play and climb and fight I’d pull your ponytails, and you’d throw sand in my face And at the end of the day we’d laugh – bruised, dirtied, exhausted But also, in the way kids are, overjoyed with simple things Now, it makes me a little scared to recall how much time has passed But then you squeeze my hand, gently, and the feeling fades Because while many things may change – I don’t think we’ll be rolling in mud Anytime soon, but I won’t dismiss it just yet – Others never will – Let’s just say I still like playing with your h

NaPo #25 - Federal Complacency

As the audience welcomes atrocities, I expected a broken chancellor - But he ignored me. A parochial stronghold of Citizens’ relationship issues. “Gay lives matter” - “But what about civil depression, then?” “Such threats will not stop us. Tribal securities must be achieved and The Black agenda must be addressed.” I have been complacent, after all. And now federal eyes Have all the grassroots they could need Terrorists of threat and uncertainty Working to ‘secure’ me; Legitimacy and state Provide all the danger I could need. “We must address this situation Of racial equality!”

NaPo #24 - Glass Prison

I used to want so many things That seemed to linger just outside The reach of my grasping fingers – Nails forever scratching The glass floor and walls Of my self-made prison. And now look at me Look at me. I’ve got all the friends, Yet I’ve never been more alone. I’ve got all the money, Yet I’ve never felt so destitute. I’ve got all the girls, Yet I’ve never felt less loved. Who the hell am I – Who the hell have I become? Meaningless questions To accentuate my meaningless Existence. When all good things must come to an end The only lasting choices I make Are the bad ones. And now I lie, s

Oceans of the Lost by ArthurTheBraveOne, literature

Literature

Oceans of the Lost

I’m lost on an ocean Born of thoughts and whispers. These waves, which once I should have known Are now but alien cosines, bound in a Reflecting pool. Shadows, Cast from their fumes, Envelop the very fabric Of reality. Twenty-five point seven dimensions Wrapped in a dazzling display I thought to understand So very long ago; Yet my very thoughts escape me now, Like every mortal hope, as I drift Aimlessly across this plane - This entire body of water condensed Into a two-dimensional space. Up and down: meaningless. I am orthogonal to The skies and the birds, The depths and eldritch horrors That lurk far beneath, waiting to steal My soul

My Bio

I can't draw like shit, as you may have noticed. I can, however, write. Apparently. I dunno. People tell me I can. But all I know is that I /have/ to write. It helps me not to lose my sanity. I may write a lot in a short amount of time, or you may hear nothing new from me for months at a time. I'm not a very constant writer, so to say, since I also have other things I like doing. But, well, I guess that's about me. What about you?

Personal Quote: You're entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to ignoring it.

Well, that was unexpected. (Yes, I got a DD!)

"WHAT. WHAT. WHAAATTTTT. 0_0" The above was basically my reaction to suddenly finding my inbox flooded with messages. Apparently, someone (looking at you `doughboycafe (https://www.deviantart.com/doughboycafe)) thought that my whimsical semi-Frozen-inspired parody of Shakespeare's famous sonnet #18 was fabulous enough to qualify as a Daily Deviation! First though: "OH. MY. GAAAWWWDDD." *feeling fab* And, well, I really don't know what to say. I'm honored, I guess? Also still a bit flabbergasted - I mean, the piece itself was a fairly silly experiment, and personally it's not on my mind as one of the best poem I've written recently. Don't get me wrong, still extremely happy

Protracted Silence

0 min read

So, you may have noticed I've been (rather suddenly) pretty inactive on here for the past month and a half or so, especially compared to how active I've been this year's NaPoWriMo and the first few weeks after that. Long story short: I've been busy! After having lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for several months, I at long last moved back to the Netherlands in the later half of May - which is about the time I fell off DA. Simply put, I simply didn't really have anything much to do except exercising and writing while in the UK, as my social activity was really far below what I'd have liked. Seeing as exercising only got me so far... I spent a lot
