granadilla

Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Free Verse

^{god satan has made makes everything beautiful believable in its time;

In the corners of the house that my granadilla girl lingered in
and the tumbling staircase she died all over,
in crawling puddles of fruity red:

granadilla girl,
how coldly you wander.

A heaving lump sits easily in your mind,
but thick and wet
about to implode.
granadilla girl - wrap your legs around a tree
sink your teeth into a bird and take a sip
watch the granadilla glee
drip, drip, drip.

A long-nosed ruby-rose
snarled and bit hard into my collarbone
crunched and spat the Lord Christ out
then caressed my cheek with lingering curiosity,
"What have you done with granadilla girl?"

Prayer, I believe, has lost its taste
Oh lord, I love you but I'm confused!
Granadilla girl, I walked into a wooden room
of sacks of grain and the smell of a dry field;
of rotting rodents and decaying crops.
i told you i'd come after you
if you tried to poison my garden.

granadilla girl,
how loudly you desiccate.
and god has soaked all things with your dripping glee
and now he'll forget you forever
granadilla girl.}

of hot, black cancer.
when has the river ever stopped for love?
send me to sleep

beneath birthThe world held the first few stars
as trickling chunks across a melting wall.
The singing moon's sweetest tune trembled and meadows broke
into stillness.
And still, still, the boy tried, eager but darker each time,
His body stood, crackling life.
With lower hollows, his sentences dripped,

A long time ago,I once sat in the centre of a marching ritual,
and felt snakes rushing between skin and bones.
A few would sting,
and some would bite, and as they did,
I recalled the dreams I once ached to.
I ached cold and quick.

So I marched 'round the hills
to tell the king
that mist had settled over the fields,
that his men were smiling in reverse,
when their creaking boots rattled
against the concrete they staggered across
as they rushed over the waterfall,
and they cried in reverse,
tumbling into the rushing, gushing, icy pool;

And high above,
from the twigs and swelling leaves,
the bloodied birds watched,
with thorns in their chests cleaving,

Sacchariferousfor the Admiral

my dandelions speak of
the kitchen, brimming
with sun-streaked sugar
and mended-over smiles.
floured fingerprints cloud the sky,
but every broken egg is one more yellow flower.

in sweetgrass and flowers
i find white-leaf bandages for cracked shells. coils of
sky
fill the bowl to the brim-
the world is a clean smile
wrapped in sugar.

everything here is white and pale as sugar
gathered to mend your flowered
smile.
i wish you'd swallow always fields of
dandelions that brim
with every clean, clear sky.

i'll measure out the sky
in cups of sugar.

The Feature Game #3 - Literature EditionOkay, so of course being a writer what interests me most
on deviantart is the literature. I like helping writers grow and I
hope by commenting/critiquing/faving/featuring I am doing so.
This will be long. I am trying to wipe out my feature folder so
I can start fresh. Every literature piece that hasn't been featured
is about to be. (:

let me be honest with you
I am small enough to fit into pockets and be forgotten
tangled up in the loose ends of jeans
quieter than the twinkle of coins against keys
that
is how small I am
to every hand I've been in
and there are not many I let hold me
in this form because honestly
I said I would be honest
I am so much larger than pocket change
or I try to be
far away and expansive
somewhere where you
can't
quite
reach
top shelf
one cereal box over
not hiding from your grasping grasp
I want you to
take me away and
spend me to fill you
up
but looking closely into my
naked eye--
window to my naked soul
is not a glance I offer
to many
(I think the ground is the only one to stare so deeply)
you see?
there
is my honesty laid out like
bread crumbs to the universe,
me, brimming with its nature
a nature in you too
but even with this, vastnesstream by *0hgravity

HI.

I write poetry that sometimes makes sense.

I'm at university. I like flowers and I play the piano.

Thanks for reading my amazing bio.

spontaneity is sometimes not so bad. Provided that the spontaneity was thought out for a long time.

It turns out that writing a genuine love poem was not as disastrous as I had envisioned. What is disastrous, though, is my lack of enthusiasm for exams. Which is slowly being sorted out. Because there is only so much procrastination I can practice before my ass falls through the floor. And into my seat in the exam hall.

Life is fine, life is fair and unfair; dramatic, yet too plain - but we are never alone, and sometimes we are comforted. And nothing will make sense, and sometimes that's good. What crap have you been smoking, Iyra?

This stuff:
1. Braille - Regina Spektor [link]
2. Oh Comely - Neutral Milk Hotel [link]
3. Sleep - Eric Whitacre [link]
4. Sail To The Moon - Radiohead [link]

Hope you're all well.
