Too Soon

Everyday is new, but is quick to grow old. They drag on like a body being dragged down an old wooden bridge by a murder. Leading to the ocean, for dumping. There is no peace. Just words. His name was spelled crisply on the object before him. Clean. Pristine. Black on white. He'd never gotten mail before. Maybe today was luckier than he'd thought when awakening that morning. Mother and father watching from across the room, trying to be sneaky about it (and failing), fingers trembling against it, he peeled open the envelope with no return address; with only a single stamp; with nothing to show it had even been mailed at all. It practically snap

Coward

tonight is the night. i will dress myself in fancy attire, expensive accessories, and a smile. i will walk to my second-hand car and drive myself to the park in fifth gear. i will double check the dash's clock, but triple check my mind. i will stand on a tree stump beneath the branch of a neighboring tree- tie a rope around it; around my neck. i will put my shoes neatly side by side on the tree stump. i will stop. not tonight. i will put on my newly purchased limited edition (and on sale) three inch pumps. i will remove the rope from my neck, from the branch, and remove myself from this stump; from this park. i will drive myself home in f

i wanted to teach you how to read me but then i realized that i couldn't read myself and how difficult i really am. lies like love always settle at the sea bottom, beckoning you to believe and trust and forgive and forget and lie just how that lie loved to do. i wished for you to understand to really give me a chance to take my hand and guide, not just me, but us to a new determination to a world flip from blasé and rolled over into cliché. guide us, not just me, to a world where people can have a happy ending alone.

Ode to Sx-70 Sonar

you, sx-70 sonar, are the camera of my love. i want to overwhelm my sight with your name. you are always spontaneous like birds and bees and robot trees. you have always just risen from rare moments ; dandelions' flying children small and perfect. compared to you the other camera's we know are so low quality ; cheap disposables, distant digitals, fake instants and bright pink "for kids". you are pure joy, fragrant fruits, the molasses of all that is sweet. when we dive into your world of vintage colors, we too absorb for a moment a thing that was to be lost in time ; there's still some images in us all

ice blue skies raging with grey puffs of clouds seeping onto the windy horizon, far off, in the distance. only during sunset are colors paint-brushed across the sky. the air whistles and it slaps you on contact but it apologizes with a rush of a breeze relaxing your red cheeks. and winter whispers "tough love". trees are leafless and water is coated in fog and bushes are freezing but even if they look uncomfortable they love it.

dandelion seeds fountain down through the air like molasses escaping it's holding cell. the leaves whistle to the sky as the wind blows, like candles on a cake ; eventually they'll stop glowing. the grass moves as an coean covered in seaweed, as a turtle on it's back, not quite moving at all. droplets pound against the tar as clouds sprinkle them on us like cookies, like cupcakes. because when we least expect the fog it will open it's mouth and show us teeth whipped cream teeth and a dark chocolate mouth. cherry tongue and sweet condensed milk saliva. admit it, you've licked the mini-can once or thrice.

he gallops to me as the air gushes through strands of silk and grass creeps up from the dark planet, because no sun remains. water, pounds like herds of of elephants at the floor's door. the sky growls and seems to swirl in a violent, serene motion and nails crack under metal pressure in wait as the door and windows and window pains have to vibrate like a controller as he gallops to me.

Deviation Spotlight

. by SighsOfSounds, literature

Literature

.

i sat here and after counting days i counted seconds then i tried to use this situation for inspiration and y'know what happened? when i find out how to say zero in norwegian that's what i'd say. of course that's when i realized these moments aren't made for inspiration. they're made for heartbeat skipping, overdosing, and abundance of tears, and loss of air. so that's what i gave it. we loved each other on the record for eighty-five days, that's 2040 hours. 122400 seconds; an that equals a lot of recorded love.

sorry for the extra journal x: forgot to mention my new account is LeakingInk (https://www.deviantart.com/leakingink) like i said on BlueSnowGiesha (https://www.deviantart.com/bluesnowgiesha), i still plan to submit writing here~ but i plan to submit it to both. so if you wanna unwatch this and watch that, i won't mind. i somehow feel like this account was just.. for the book. maybe becuase i named them the same? maybe because most from that book is here. idunno. but it feels that way ^^' i hate to have 3 accounts, OTL; but i can't seem to let BSG go~ and this one.. i'm a little more willing, but it'd just be a pain in the ass P: if anything i'll put everything in storage.. 8D we'll see. ^^' sorry t
