spooked by the sharpness of elbows
and the lingering copper that lines
the lace of your lungs,
they sing for the sake of bravery
raising their eyes to the tea-doily spots
of mildew and memory on the ceiling.
the butterflies are banging against
the walls of my stomach.
yours is a rollercoaster left-behind.
i am lost and anticipate
the interlocked arteries of a new map,
a new compass implanted,
a new sense of direction.
and the constant killing of things,
the wash of your statements,
the faded green marker on a
poster for peace, all dappled with
rain, the penstrokes showing like
bones through the page
continue to tell and recount
the falling-apart of things,
the inevitable crash.

 reports, 1d 20m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

With only the nightbugs to lead me home...
its good.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
A good ending. I like the fourth line of the first stanza

Like the stars,
Like the moon above,
I embrace everything there is.
Drifting away into the dark of the night.
Endlessly wishing to have wings to get away...

Next to silence, that which expresses the inexpressible...is music.
