A Tale of Two Loves

Deviation Actions

Literature Text

Twin coins, double-headed
Fell into a brook:
One was gold, the other leaded--
Guess which wish the waters took.

In haunted wind the branches shook
A nymph enclosed in fairy tree,
Just wood and leaf at first look
In hollowed rings no one could see--

A soul was trapped upon a bough
Beyond the current's reach.
The winded gods would not allow
A plaintive prayer to beseech.

Two coins, yet neither true
Fell into a brook
Thus both were drowned in buried blue,
Heartless dreams that no one took.

Tell Me A Story

Tell me a story... about how things were in the past with nothing to worry over and happiness seemed to forever last Tell me a story... about summers at the lake sitting on the front porch having lemonade and cake Tell me a story... about when you grew up how you wanted to see the world but the world wasn't enough Tell me a story... about when you fell in love just when you felt all alone you were pushed back above Tell me a story... about a time that you lied because there was nothing to say as you fell on the wayside Tell me a story... about when you realized the truth how it all blew you away that the world was so un

Love's Cadence

Oh, to succeed in my dreams and rise by your side Slipping over your grace like at a sunset's tide - I want my love to fall into your eyes and stay As if forming a pool of passion; let it last And let your soft soul swell with my admiration (Cast your patience amongst the waves of our bed and Instill the cadence as we count the seconds that Highlight the beautiful romance we have longed for). Let's trade positions like the moon playing the sun - I want you to gently collapse upon my chest As your angel breath keeps hope alive in my heart, As if a star shying away from the night sky For a heated hint of rest yet still subtly Suppl

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

Featherdance (Poem)

Listen closely, and you may hear The sound of sacred fire. Its ancestry flickers in a thousand Colors, all within the hearts of unborn heroes. Somewhere deep inside legend, A fringed master slumbers. Its breath sequesters beneath its beak As it dreams in molten gold. Six score, it has lain in wait For its kaleidoscopic guardian. A spirit akin to its veined own, In suit and solemn as he. The skies grow dapper without The grace of its marbled wings And the elegance of the feathers That heal the lame and the ungainly. Its dogs look toward the heavens, Listening for its sacred fire. The hours and the days atrophy And crumb

Lavender Town

What is that? What do you hear? You look as if You've seen a ghost. Let them speak to you; All their tormented souls Wish is for a living heart To become one with theirs. The plague of sorrow racks These doleful townsmen, As they wander vacant streets With hunched shoulders. He is crying for his mother; Can you feel his tears? You cannot, for you—you— You are like all the others. Please, be their guest, And let them creep beneath your skin. They mean you immortal joy, And no harm shall haunt you. No harm shall haunt you, But they shall instead, Their stoicism patient as they Wait for you to crumble. He is

Trust

Trust. It's something earned, Not given. It's like an ember of my heart, Placed inside yours To hold and protect. Extinguishing it or throwing it away Will break our bond, It may never be repaired. Don't try to steal an ember, For it's not rightfully yours Until I personally place it in your chest. Once it's there, It grows and strengthens Until it's a fire. A fire of trust That can't be extinguished That can't be thrown out. It will always be there, Linking me to you.

Despoema de amor

Deveria lhe compor versos perfeitos Que homenageariam todo seu ser Te diria que o meu sonho é te ter Mas fico com preguiça e não faço tais feitos Diria que desbravaria todo o mundo Somente pra defender seu nome Só que eu esqueci dele, to usando um pronome, Então é melhor guardar isso num buraco fundo Doaria pra te uma parte de mim Se necessário até meu coração Mas na hora do transplante eu daria uma de fujão É melhor a essa estrofe eu dar um fim Falarei então que até Lua eu te daria Mas agora de me lembro de um problema: Não consigo nem sequer puxar

Desire

Your smooth skin, It drives me crazy I want to touch you, And just maybe, You...will let me... The look in your eyes, It really drives me wild I shouldn't be surprised, That you're so tempting... You are all I can see... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Controlling me I can see... The light in your eyes, Every time you see me... The beads of perspiration, Are rolling down your face As you look away, I lean in for a little taste, Because you let me... I can see your curves, Move underneath your shirt And I can't place a price, On what this moment's worth... So revealing... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Always controlling me I can s

Our Last Kiss

If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have inhaled you deeper within me. If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have seared your taste onto my tongue. If I had known it was our last kiss, I would have scorched your scent into my skin. ... If I had known, I would have frozen time ...

I'm just guessing at the meaning of this...I think that it's about someone torn between two lovers, one true and one false...Waiting too long to decide, both are lost.

(I'm sorry, sometimes words pop into my head and even I'm not sure what they mean.)
