goatscape

take a child beat them well. just a pinch of love and parental affection, to justify the cruelty. scream into them how worthless they are. then put it in a bowl of codependecy, to ferment the weak sense of self. mix well to remove interpersonal boundaries. seal mouth, with guilt or shame. can't have them saying no. can't have dinner venting out. preheat the oven by gaslighting. make sure to neglect as trust burns away. check for emotions. there should be only anxiety and depression, in an adult-shaped husk. serve cold. complain about the food. throw it in the trash.

and the rain falls, and it falls. when you turn your face away. when you close your doors. when you bury your heart. deep below, under the mud, under the mantle, in the heat it craves. don't turn away, my sunshine. need your warmth. your breath. your tiny deaths. kindling, for the bonfire that is our love. a resting spot underneath this flood. a constant deluge, drowning us both i'll grow cold in the rain without you. i'm already cold enough to keep you away.

DD Discussion on November 16th

Nov 14, 2019

Each month our literature community comes together to celebrate the writers that made it into last month's Daily Deviations. Reading and discussing each piece broadens our understanding of writing and helps us connect with each other. It's a great way to say thank you for sharing and thank you for reading. Help us celebrate by coming to the CRLiterature chat room this Saturday, November 16th from 1pm-3pm Pacific Time - see what that is in your time zone here. Keep reading to the bottom of this journal for the list of Literature DDs that will be discussed. Why? We believe that discussion with friends and peers is a valuable part of how a r

ProjectDFC: Rondeaux in Julliet 2019

Jun 29, 2019

Hello everyone! OneWithTheStars here and welcome to ProjectDFC (https://www.deviantart.com/projectdfc)'s 2019 installment of Rondeaux in Julliet! Rondeaux in Julliet (RIJ) ProjectDFC was defined on its love for poetic forms. And not just the forms that many of us are accustomed to seeing, but trying to grasp various forms from around the world for the exposure to the many different ones various regions have to offer as well as try our hands at them, even when our native languages/structures may not flow as well as the traditional languages they herald from. The goal is a literary adventure across the planet and I hope everyone can enjoy that spirit. One of the regions that

Poetica Feature #1 by Nimbue, journal

Poetica Feature #1

Mar 25, 2018

Tonight, I'd like to bring you a selection of some of my favourite poems here on DA, specifically works that have gone under-appreciated. :) These will be pieces of brevity, as they tend to be my most appreciated. Many people do not understand how difficult it can be to pack so much feeling and meaning into a short piece. In these cases, every word must be meticulously thought-out and placed. The following are exemplifications of brevity beautifully executed. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Autumn '17 Feature

Dec 16, 2017

so... hello, I guess? I have a nasty habit of leaving without a word, so I decided to show up for a moment. I'm terribly sorry for lack of replies: I'll get to answering your messages as soon as possible, promise! I've been having a lot on my plate lately. Even with Christmas break nearing, I won't have time to post anything. :saddummy: I have some writing in my Sta.sh, but that's still work in progress. ...Anyway, here's the long overdue feature! I encourage you to read the poems below; maybe you'll find something that resonates with you? Once you do, please don't forget to show some support to the featured artists. :) :thumb564002337

Confused. As usual.

Have you ever seen or witnessed something so sublime that all you want to do is curl up and cry. You want to do something with the same essence. Yet you can't, or you might be able to, but it'll never be quite the same. Oh well, guess I'll just shut up and try to enjoy it while it lasts. Here's a question to the rare few who might actually read this. Why are you downloading my stuff? I don't really care excluding the curiosity.

Augh, what a horrible year. Half-hoping the world actually ended and there would be nothing to look back at even if it meant there was nothing to look forward to. Anyways, back and sorry for the absence and worries.
