the depths

water plicks into its own puddles
its own lake,
plummeting from the high cavern ceiling—
plick.

plick.

plick.

every echoing ripple
reflecting myriad times the face
that is not a face.

chalky, flaky,
yet smooth—

such is the mask
he wishes he could tear that off—
he wishes to God that he could tear it off.

plick.

tears
from below the disguise
abuse the lake
as they fall.

he goes back inside,
silence near to being broken.

Summer arrived and Summer arrived and
suddenly i couldn\'t reach my locker
because of the older kids
lounging in front of it,
too ready to relax.

Summer arrived and
i had to smear sunscreen
all over skin once porcelain,
vainly trying to keep winter here
by being like snow,
and trying not to get diseases
from the source of life,
ironically.

Summer arrived and
school wasn\'t done and
i went off to college
i thought about college so intensely
i went off to a college
before my time,
to learn. and to get away.

Summer arrived and
i had to fight not to shed a few
tears
because everyone was kissing
touching, loving each other

the older sister i will always be the one
who dad doesn\'t tell to do homework
he thinks i\'ve done it.

i am the one to ask,
i must be the one who knows.

i did it all before,
i got all the attention before
and it felt good but i always saw you on the sidelines.
that\'s why i fell silent
i expected the praise and
celebration.

you spoke up,
i don\'t blame you for leaping onstage
grabbing the spotlight.
something had to suit you.

but now i try to be the raucous one
and i\'m hushed.
i\'m older. i\'m mature. why should i want to
be seen?

Bradley Takes A Walk The world was black, many shades of black. Shadows doubled and tripled back on themselves until partitions between buildings could be seen and ominous windows viewed at a safe distance. Hours passed like this, in unending rain that froze at a brief touch and struck the ground like suicidal bullets, until the night decided it was time for Bradley's walk. It was not Bradley's choice, but he woke at the sudden sound of nothing beating on the windowpane of his unsettling room in his unsettling apartment, and he could barely believe his eyes to see that the dim green digits on his clock read two o' clock in the morning. Morning. Some twisted bastaBradley Takes A Walk by ~mariusanimus

with eternity on his shoulders after your departure
do not bear too much on your shoulders.
you wish yourself immortal—
unbreakable bones—
so do i, i know the sensations
but remember there is a little joy
that can be found.

after your departure
remember there are others with
more delicate shoulders.
they will cringe, wince
whimper, even weep—
and will you put your grievances
above theirs,
you who are weak as i
but also as strong?

after your departure
i hope you may still lean on my shoulder
and tell me what
you pray for, if you can pray,
and what makes you
afraid or sad, if you dare say—

after your departure
there will linger in the lake of my with eternity on his shoulders by ~mariusanimus

Hey, if you actually care.

Journals / Personal

If for whatever reason you have stumbled across my page, or actually care about my work... I have a request.

COMMENT, for the love of whatever is important to you!

There -is- believe it or not a comment box underneath everything I submit. There is also a reason I submit stuff— to get comments so that I will improve my work.

If you think my work sucks, tell me why. I'll make it better.
If you think my work could be better, tell me why. I'll fix things.
If you think my work is amazing, tell me why. I'll be sure to remember what's good.

Leaving a comment does not take more than a minute of your time, if it's concise and constructive. I promise you will not go to hell for leaving me a comment. Maybe I'm just not receiving comments because -I- am not leaving comments on other people's work, but the reason for that is because I have only had time recently to upload poetry and prose and THAT'S IT. After the homework load slackens, yes, I will comment until people are tired of me commenting!

But... I expect the same, god dammit.

I wish I could talk and read POETRY. Dumbass Lauren. Go die.

Lo Miss Kirianna. I'm sure you've discovered the problems with DevART by now right? Stupid yes? ^__^

~loli May 8, 2003

Been a while since I've been around the last time as well...

About the DevWatch - I really can't remember ;) (Wink)

Take care

*dougbtn Apr 18, 2003

Thanks for the thoughtful comment and the fav on Shh. What you said was music to my ears as the point of it was that power, SM, whatever people want to label it, isnt about black leather, chains and pain. It is about love and tenderness. Thanks again, its rare to hit a bullseye with anyone :-) (Smile)

~aphroditii Apr 14, 2003

Who?!

I will look through my garbage to see if I can find anything suitable. And thank you for pushing me...I do appreciate it.

I hope you have been well and enjoying life. I will write more soon...this is going to be a crazy week. I am leaving for Portland, OR on Thursday, back on Monday. I will make an honest attempt to write more...maybe on the plane.

Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I offer only the truth, nothing more.

Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill

spyed, nobody has ever done this before.

I know. That's why it's going to work.
