First and Last Night Together
Our hands move at one thousand miles an hour,
Shaking in anticipation
Of what will come next,
But soon we're lost
And the only shaking is our breath
And out hearts are now throbbing
At one thousand beats per minute,
As my lightning fingers
slip down your dew soaked spine,
And your gritted teeth
Break my skin.
We're counting down to launch,
But my count's too quick,
Drilling down to oil, then,
The radio crackles,
"we have a problem!"
Moments too soon,
I've caused an oil slick.
Now you pass me in the street
With barely another glance,
And I'm pretty sure, I could please you
If I only had another chance.
"What did I ever do so wrong,
That you should cast me from Grace"
-Voltaire, Almost Human
The Dirigibles were almost close enough to touch. The crews were clearly visible, manning the fins and other devices that keep the airships on course. The beauty and serene gracefulness is usually lost on the dock workers, who scurry about up here, tying lines and preparing for the next arrival but that night there was one onlooker who could admire them. Her dark robes whipped around her like wings and her hair flowed violently in the wind, red beads whipping at the end like jewelled blood. She stood on the precipice of The Spire, watching the dir
All hail the common wasp.
the yellow black assasin of the insectoid world.
Invading homes
and picnics alike,
it's fearsome buzz
and acidic strike,
will make you flail,
will make you fall,
could you invoke such terror,
if you were just
this
small.
Sing a little song for the troubled times ahead,
Look forward to a future we can't quite forget
And let me be there despite myself.
Take a small token for all the love i feel,
And look me straight in the eye and tell me it's not real
And keep things special despite ourselves.
Tell me little lies to break it to me slow,
Coz you're scared of breaking me if i were to know.
And you will burn me inspite yourself.
She sips her coke like fine red wine,
letting it tickle and excite her tongue,
letting it give her that inner glow.
She takes your hand like a pure white rose,
stronking fingers of silken petals
Letting you know that you are hers.
She hold's the knife like an artist's brush,
your chest turns into her deep red canvas
You screams become her moonlight sonata
Your blood is her fine red wine.
kissing away our life... by Azraeldrah, literature
Literature
kissing away our life...
Kissing away our life in scenes,
Of windswept nights and silver dreams,
My lips to warm your aches away.
Drinking each other till we've had our fill
On emerald grass on velvet hills,
Your touch to bring my skin to life.
Sitting in silence so the fight can't start
Over bleeding dishes and dirty hearts,
My touch to make you reel inside.
Loving away in broken dreams
Of stormy nights and tragic scenes.
Your kiss was cold when you left me.
I sat there for days
but it's ok.
I made friends.
I made friends in the kitchen,
hummed along with the fridge,
the washer joined in we formed a trio.
Applause from the toaster came,
one round
And the microwave chirped in glee.
Then you came back,
and spoiled my fun,
I asked about your trip,
who you saw
what you did
but inside i shreaked,
as my plans for a three piece kitchen harmony,
went down the kitchen sink.
They would always appear this way, trying to control him, to manipulate his feelings and addictions. They taunted him continuously showing him a glimpse of the future and taking it away, they offered him power for obedience and they granted pain for his defiance. He soon became a cadaverous retch of a man, his eyes had become sunken and his skin was like packed ice.
They finally won their battle, his body and soul where both too ravaged to resist them anymore. Blurred figures picked him off the ground as he tried to pledge his allegiance. The world was tainted purple and red, a mirror of his torn and scarred body. He was placed on a hard se
"Capitalism doesn't pay!"
"Anarchy rules!"
"Vive la revolution!" and,
"Give peace a chance"
The irony of the anarchist.
Who says he's an individual,
(Like every one else).
His slogans wring,
His fashions shock,
An oxymoron in himself.
I'm lying in an empty room,
Drying up,
Like a desert,
Cracking,
Like the earth,
drip,
like a drop of moisture in my life,
You arrive!
Then as if I'm nothing,
You leave.
I am dry again,
Why this torture,
Why this life?

'A fire burned in his eyes'
A fire burned in his eyes, as he saw the porch light flick on at number seven as he approached. They widened slightly as a door along the hallway opened to reveal the figure of his quarry.
He had been waiting along time for this. All day he had been hunting and now he found what he had only seen in paper. A wry grin appeared on his face. He couldn't wait to give his new victim what was coming to them. He would enjoy every second.
It was six o'clock, teatime. He didn't care how antisocial a time it was, this was too important to him. The beast was growing in his belly, someone was approaching the door.
He hadn't had a mark for ages and h

A terrible poet, An awful poem
My verse is awful,
My prose bland,
I'm melodramatic,
Without my muse at hand.
I'm stopped before I've started,
Stalled before I move,
I just can't write well,
If I'm not with you.
Some compare love to a flower,
Women to a summers day,
Some use the sun and stars and moonlight.
I'm tired of this way.
I compare you to a house.
But listen and you'll see why.
Your love is strong and comforting,
Your architecture fine.
You're safe,
You're warm,
You're my perfect size.
You're the home of my heart,
My love,
and one day, perhaps,
you'll house my child.
I can make your whole world... by Azraeldrah, literature

I can make your whole world...
I can make your whole world, vanish.
Give you nothing, except for joy.
I can sharpen your every breath.
Take you to dreams of heat, and sweat.
Let the drum-beat pound your body's music
Give me nothing, except for sin.
Breathe with me, and make your breathing mine
Our one voice singing in perfect time.
I will show you how the fire burns
Fire your soul, and sear your heart.
Screaming out with painful pleasure,
Weeping after, with pleasant pain.
Burnt out, our whole world, vanished,
The drummer no longer drums,
Sleep my love, until morning comes,
The night was ours, but now she's gone.

I psychically manipulate people into thinkin i write.
I think im gonna try and write a prose version of Dante's Devine Comedy and then Milton's Paradice Lost. Partially for fun, and partially because it will encourage me to finish reading them.
Why has so much art deviated from aesthetics? There is alot of stuff out there which substitutes form for meaning. Yes rules should be broken down, yes our view of the world should be questioned. But surely it should be done in a way that people find *truly* appealing?
People now seem to mock art that is attractive, but with no grand statement behind it. I feel that art like that is closer to the ideal than work that has a grand statement, but no aesthetic substance.
same with alot of poetry.
Grrrrrr.
end of rant.
I was just musing on the idea of 'community'. Since starting uni i belong to a *real* art community and I've discovered that in my 'real' community, those who are 'arselickers', whiney bitches or pretentious soon get ousted, Whereas on DA many of them seem to thrive.
Don't get me wrong, i have no problem with DA, or many of those who contribute, and im not saying that virtual communities are any less valid than normal ones. I'm just sick and tired of being TOLD what a 'great' community DA is! There ARE many fine artists, and there are those who leave valid and intelligent comments, but many deviants seem to be guilty of several things:
Your devious information photo represents a level of hipocricy in you i had previously suspected but not noticed due to your highly evasive skills. Actually I noticed it all along.
All art doesnt have to have a statement behind it, you baffoon.
The only decent thing you said on your page was that you were a psuedo-intelectual. Which ironically you probably put in jest.
Why don't you go bestow your uncalculated judgements where they're wanted, mate? If you must get off on talking down to people as a means of making yourself feel superior, go do it in the forums, where I'm sure there are 'bafoons' aplenty for you to criticise to your hearts content.
Have you ever done a degree in art? Until you have young man, you'll not understand the stance Mike's coming from. Unfortunately, we're marked based on the contemporary art movement (in laymen’s terms: art with meaning). And if you'd bothered to read the post, Mike was clearly stating his grievance at this FACT. Art has been this way since the 1970s, though I would say it began way back when Duchamp displayed his "Fountain".
This is just the way the art world is at present, and I don't see it ever going back.
