Never Go Away by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

Never Go Away

I don’t know if you ever think about me and if you cry like I do when I feel the void where a father is supposed to be. I wonder if you really meant to start over when I heard from you in June, just before Father’s Day. All those wondrous promises and I never heard from you in the six months after. Don’t you miss your son? Am I still your son in your eyes or do we just happen to share DNA? I know I don’t have a father, I only had a father up until I was 8 years old, I think. I don’t remember. I don’t recall when our paths divided, you with a woman you apparently chose over me, me growing up facing struggles

Fast Forward by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

Fast Forward

The golden clock was ticking quickly now Around my face a hue of bittersweet A frown, a simple glare, was all I meet My full red lips would make a silent vow On paper do we write and cry, erase The little lies that moved to be believed Their goals a cause that we should have perceived Our lives are placed on hold, one time and place Alas! We dream and doubt and drown in dread We panic, portals proof of lack of peace And quickly came our quiet clock to see Our fancy flown away, and found us fled Our sighs so soft they sent a swirl that ceased To trick the time outstretched beneath the tree

Mutual by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

Mutual

The eyes from Heaven cast upon me dwell And I, before the altar, kneeling flame, Am overshadowed, calling just their name A thousand times this gaze was meant to quell Another sight was yonder, savoured blight A sudden breath my sound, not overcome By cheers of joy so like excitement numb A careful tread, a smile beyond delight Though time has passed us by, echoes in vain Back then, was my consent not mine to give? That day belonged to me, as well as you ‘Tis harmful for a truth so simple and plain To think it so forgotten and misgiven Thus I leave, strange to hatred ‘twixt us two

Enthralled by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

Enthralled

On tiptoe I reach for the doorknob Trying to close the door In a flash, the door is open again, The hallway radiating, blinding sight. This time, I lock it with despair Keeping it close shut silently Even though deep down I know it’s in vain. I remember the last time I ran, Demanding myself to fight As I escaped the burning town Ending a tyrant reign. It was such a sloppy job, But I ended it, but fearing more. To never let it happen again I’d swear But then it entered the room so violently. I was inclined to embrace it I still am, though my grinding teeth Are a sign to have it banished, To renew the vow I spoke. So here I sit

Carry On by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

Carry On

It’s never too late, The bells may chime Initiating a supposed Final anguish. It’s never too late, The bells may chime Drowning you into Time and tears. It’s never too late, The bells may chime A foreign language posing As an arid threat. What will you do? Give a radiant smile, Sighing inwardly, You carry on. What will you do? Enjoy this day the best, Surviving the worst, You carry on. What will you do? Creating possibilities, Mucking up some, You carry on. The bells may chime What will you do? It’s never too late. You carry on.

The Knot by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

The Knot

The knot does not unfold as the ballerina dances on, Instead becoming a tangled mess Like the roots of a tree, stuck in the ground. She doesn’t know she’s performing, but he’s bound To be watching her, longing for her arms to bless Him with her tenderness, his beautiful swan. Nothing else, but his throat tightens the more, Words are choked to death by the thought, Frightening him as she sits down next to him. The dance is over, and he remembers it’s a whim, She’s part of a vague ideal he’s forever sought, He remembers, and he is empty to the core. The knot’s tight in place, a fearful thing, He close

I Cut the Chase by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

I Cut the Chase

I may still in sorrow write, And let day pass for night For no reason to the outside I might humble or silence with tears That truly I cannot in anyone confide My irrationalities, my greatest fears. While I cannot mend that which I break I devote myself utterly in my mistake Shadows may come and go freely If not darkness is what I seek I would go and chase your light only ‘Tis thus so; my tears do fill my creek. From stone to stone I lightly step Curses let me do it only nightly at ebb At break of day I sink and cast away The stalks of reed my makeshift hideout And never from your light I’d stray If only in truth I were devout.

“Go, then.” I hear myself say. I wish I had shut my mouth, and now it’s too late to do anything but wait for you to come back. I am a fool. I should’ve said, “Come stay with me, forever. I shall cradle you in my arms when you weep, I shall let you run from my arms towards the cause of your delight. I shall take no rest when you are ill, lest your condition worsen.” And so on. I knew, deep down, no-one was here to stay. I can engage in conversation with many, but I wonder if any would with me. 12 AM. I hear no sound except for my own breathing, my heart keeping up a pace I will never outrun. I see your fac

Remote Zero by NiallCloud, literature

Literature

Remote Zero

I looked away. I always seem to be able to find the most pristine moment to look away before she'd notice. I have had enough practice, as only the eyes would tell me the truth. I have seen time and time again this truth, which has always been and which will always be. A tear wells in my eye. I blink, suddenly realising I'm still in the pub, and not at home, which where I always fashion myself to be. My mind is fogged, blurry with my fancy I shall not name here, partly because of the beer and the Highland Park, and partly because I have no substitute for the medication I have stopped taking. I stand still, slumped against the pillar, yet wand

Bedridden by WordOfChen, literature

Literature

Bedridden

Bedridden: Here I lie, motionless, A prisoner within my own body. Yet there lies a subtle clarity; A moment of understanding, achieved by infirmity. And though my body is racked with pain, My conscious mind delves ever deeper into the pool of the soul. ...Falling...faintly... My mind is flooded with a racket of noise. I am cast into the swirling rip-tide of forbidden knowledge, Clinging to the flotsam of sanity as a Leviathan roars below. It swallows me into an acidic whirlpool. Drowning me deep beneath the bubbling surface of the past. And there, in the murky depths where my very self begins to rot, A grinning maw of tongues an

Literature

Darkcity

You cannot look directly at the ocean Because the ocean has become the sun: and it has been three long days of rubbing you from my eyes like sleep, the sky until it turns Kahuna blue but it is only for the voice that's heard behind closed doors, that we pretend we cannot hear the things which cannot keep her eyes from raking shores- to meet the current strong enough to shift the space between the islands- so it is easier to read between the lines, and harder through you. ) I am almost too weak for capitals the certainty of punctuation... is it because i do not wish for strength that your pupils widen to transmute the sound of the highwa

The Porcelain Girl by TheLastIconoclast, literature

Literature

The Porcelain Girl

The dust rises in smoky spirals from the ancient shelf And ten thousand books lie unused, shrouded in stealth And the girl is sitting by herself. She has no time for the novels or history books Her phone is her paramour and she gives no looks To those who gawk at her. Heaven help me, she sits like porcelain, about to break In the black of her hair and clothing, she pools lake- Tranquil in the seat, absorbed in her own reflection. The distant roar of the winding road And the sad fly-whining of the violin player on the corner Break the sultry silence of the library and goad The happy man to be a mourner. Aye. I've seen her before

Back I am again

0 min read

Hi! Did you miss me? Since I lost my notebook in which this summer's every poem & short story were written, I kind of lacked motivation to write again, but a writer or poet cannot deny his true calling. Therefore I (hopefully) amused you with today's submissions. I have started my studies at the Radboud University Nijmegen, and I like it so far. I'm majoring in English Language & Culture if you were wondering. It seemed to best suit me and my interests. I have started reading Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein, and it's a novel I adore. Now, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Oh, and if you happen to come across an

Long time no see, dA

0 min read

I know that I haven't written anything the last few weeks. Simply because I'm a senior and I have to prepare for exams/finals. So, in about two months all will be over and I'll have time to write again. I'll take a good look at 'Sally', rewtite it from the start, in order to get it the way I want it to be. So, please be patient. In other news, it was my birthday (almost a month ago, lql)! Thank you all for the birthday wishes. (: I went to different concerts: Follow You Home + Note To Amy Omnia (best gig I ever had) Paganfest (worst Paganfest up to date) Emilie Autumn <3 (needless to say, that show was amazing) I had my profile pap

No school this week

0 min read

Hell yes, Not only did I finish my profile paper, but we got this week off as well, because it's 'carnaval'. Compare it with mardi gras. It's something like that. Not that I'll participate in the festivities though; One look at the Tweets sent at midnight by the ones who do participate is reason enough. (ex) Classmates get drunk, and their usually 'normal' behaviour turns out to be quite infantile. I read 'penises' on my timeline every morning I wake up. And it's only started this Friday night. So, what are my plans for this week, I hear you wonder. Wednesday - Free entrance to the concert of Follow You Home at 013 Popcentre in Tilburg. (:

_{Afternoon,

From the Founder of Literary Publications…

We are formally inviting you to become a part of our community. We’re looking for deviants who would be open to a new atmosphere of literature where members actually communicate with one another. We’re helping the Lit Community of dA become a better place for those whose deviations haven’t had a chance to shine. We have a unique system in our Gallery where we have a ZERO comment policy, meaning each literary deviation that’s submitted to our group won’t ever have ZERO comments, Guaranteed.

Don’t believe me?

We also provide a creditable feedback & commentary system to all deviants who join. Literary Publications Community has discussions on literally any literature topic you can think of. We communicate with each other on a daily basis and our activities are a bit different than that of normal groups. We have a unique system of staying active and keeping our group alive with events such as: Book Clubs, Author’s Night, Group Collaborations, Community Formal Contest and More!

We are formally inviting you to our group because we would like to your literary deviations together to give them the attention they deserve.

You don’t have to be perfect at writing.
You don’t have to be good at writing.
You don’t even have to be writer; you can simply enjoy the art of literature.

Have I got your attention yet or shall I go on?

Literary Publications actually communicates and cares about their members. We’ve gotten nothing but positive reviews on our homepage and we currently hold a record of 100% satisfaction. Just ask any of our members and they’ll tell you.

Literary Publications is here to help… That’s the difference…

Feeling the urge to join?

Can’t wait to see you there!
