Strength of a Rehabilitated Door Mat by JadedNights, literature

Literature

Strength of a Rehabilitated Door Mat

I'll never forget the first time That to speak my mind Meant to be mouthy That to consent To anything less than content Was ungrateful Saying as you please Whether it's an ugly thing to get off your chest Or your heart screaming off the cuff of your sleeve Nope. Not okay. One day, I think I was stepped on too hard And the dust of anger choking up inside Was finally released with nowhere to hide No escape outside, the doors all closed Up, up, up it rose Until it dissolved into their throats The truth tasted chalk-like and bitter Like dried-out boots in winter There was only one thing to do They have to chase it With swee

A King's Court by JadedNights, literature

Literature

A King's Court

Come one, come all To the Jester king's court A king of jesters A mischief patron of sorts Where masks are worn Men actually pigs, ladies without grace And servants in the pantry Trapped in a lord's forceful embrace A waltz of hidden motive commences The king and daughter of an earl For what could the fool king suspect Under the demeanor of a sweet girl? The passion creates a gripping spell They merry-make as jesters do But as they join in a fool's dance The stratagem begins to ensue A scandal of a whore-son kept quiet The daughter masters him through his spawn Earl has the kingdom in his grasp The king merely a pawn

Meta-Poem by JadedNights, literature

Literature

Meta-Poem

I'll write the world a poem And not let them find it Until I die Leaving them puzzling, puzzling, puzzling It will speak of lilies and daisies To make them think death And then throw in ambiguous phallic objects Far away from the death-stanza And they will still figure necrophilia I'll allude to Eliot and Pound And they make think me a traditionalist And then slip in Cummings and Hughes Then they'll think me confused I will link nonsense to convention Speak babbles and random jargon They will shout "the next verbal-syntactical-literary genius!" My spirit will smile and nod Whispering in their ears, "Whatever you say." I w

I Raise My Face to the Heavens by JadedNights, literature

Literature

I Raise My Face to the Heavens

I raise my face to the heavens, Opening my arms to embrace the skies. Bare feet planted into the grass, Heart and ears and palms open To the knowledge surrounding me. I raise my face to the heavens, Bathing in the light of a moon or sun Eyes open to admire a comforting Lady Eyes closed to respect a reigning King. I find myself in the heavens Welcomed for my heart and my doings Rather than my loyalties and my politics. I am supplied with succulent God-like knowledge Permitted to eat and absorb all the apples I wish. I am grounded from the heavens by my world, But raised up by my earth. Shackled to views of life as material reso

When Angels Become Demons by JadedNights, literature

Literature

When Angels Become Demons

We pray to them to make it rain Whenever our crops go dry and our children go thirsty So they cry their tears with the water they suck up From our lakes, rivers, and oceans We ask them for plants to satiate us when hungry To heal us when we are plagued with disease So they give us big forests and jungles With every kind of plant for every kind of use We tell them we must have animals To eat when we feel weak To be around when we are lonely And to reign over when we need to feel powerful We take for ourselves the land Regardless of those already dwelling Regardless of what we desire and what we actually need Regardless of what

Compression by JadedNights, literature

Literature

Compression

Welcome to the world Here's your first cell A crib We come to learn Crying does not always get you what you want Next prison School Not okay to be angry or sad here Shut up and put on that happy face Say please for your slop on a tray And thank you for the nutrients you didn't get Federal prison High school Time to turn you into a pawn Or what they call "a functional and contributing member of society" Functional meaning avoiding drugs, welfare, and abuse of any kind Contributing meaning doing your taxes on time Your credibility in opinions and worthiness stands low unless you have a job and are a good kiss-ass College Re

In my Room by JadedNights, literature

Literature

In my Room

In a place I'm supposed to call home I feel the most lonely In a city with the most people I know I feel the most endangered, the most vulnerable So here I sit In my imaginary room Where nothing can hurt me Only myself, over and over again Some days its my sanctuary A place of waterfalls and dreams To brings smiles and enough hope To carry out another day Others days, it's my hell Where I punish my faults And condemn my mistakes And burn from all that makes me feel unclean My imaginary room Is accessible by only me No one's allowed in, no one's allowed out Anyone who gets in, gets to be as trapped as I am

Purpose by JadedNights, literature

Literature

Purpose

We were all born with two One is our inner purpose The one we must carry inside ourselves One is our outer The one we must contribute to the world When I was born God looked at me and said: "Yours is to carry the guilt of all before you. The hurt they have bestowed upon others The freedom and land they took away All for the sake of the freedom and land they wanted The guilt they never felt, or otherwise tucked into their souls Is now your burden to bear." The Goddess looked at my weighted curse Her gentle eyes scanned my small, frail body "You, little one, shall use your bane as your strength It is my gift to bestow upon you,

In Less Than A Hundred Words by JadedNights, literature

Literature

In Less Than A Hundred Words

In less than a hundred words I will say that you are my sun The warmth to give me strength The warmth to bring me solace In less than a hundred words I hope to be your sea To wash away your worries To wash away your tears I will embrace you with my waters As you embrace me with your rays To hear a soft hiss And from that evaporates a steam To encase us in a foggy whirl In less than a hundred words I can explain this, us In less that a hundred words I love___

0 min read

I was not tagged for this one but I'm bored so here we go! (Also, not following the rules because I wasn't tagged anyway number one. Number two it's the internet! They can't take my birthday away. pfft. RULES 1. You MUST post these rules. 2. Each tagged person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal. 3. You have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icon on the same journal. 4. Go to their pages and tell them you tagged them. 5. No tag backs. 6. No crap in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you read this". You legitimately have to tag 10 people. 10 FACTS ABOUT ME 1. My favorite Disney character is Max Goo

Interview with OC characters

0 min read

got this from Unicornskydancer08. Bored and it looked like fun. Note that a couple of these characters have also been developed partially by my best friend, who is writing a novel with me.  Also note that I have no idea who created the questions for this but I give the credit to them. 1-) Choose 3 of your OCs 2-) Make your OCs answer these questions 3-) Tag 3 other people My three characters: - Brielle - Serena - Chris (Christine) Do you want a hug? Brielle: Um, I'm not sure my governess would think it's very ladylike... but she's not here, so, yes! Serena: Didn't we just meet? I'm not sure I trust you just yet.. Chris: Heck, why n

It's been a long trip

0 min read

I was just looking at my profile and my page statistics today. I have realized that I have come a long way since I joined deviant art more than three years ago. I am truly happy that I have a modest amount of DA pageviews (over 3000) and pleased that  I have about 28 watchers. To those competing for fans, this may seem like an amateur achievement, perhaps less than that. I don't aim to be popular, nor do I believe myself to be the best. DA is more for visual art than for poetry or prose, so it is not like I ever saw myself as going places on this site. I do ask for some motivation though. For the longest time I have wanted to join in on the
