The Faithful Liege

I'm bleeding somewhere, deep inside. I'm mud-covered and going blind. I'm losing the tears that I've cried. And I'm doing it all for you. I'm sighing, kneeling at your feet, My supine hands raised in defeat. Beaten but too proud to retreat. I'm admitting that I love you. Where is my self-preservation? I was born above my station; Stooping to this aberration. I'd lay down heart and life for you. I'm your falcon, tied to your arm, Drawn back to your light, strength and charm. I'd die to keep you far from harm. I could spend forever with you. I'll be your liege, ever steady, A warrior, at the ready, Ever to serve you, milady.

River

I won't always loop forever, you know, For I am a dragon, and restless I may grow, A flying remnant from the days of old, A fiery spark when the nights grow cold. I won't always loop forever, you know, Rising from earth to fall down on you snow, Dying as steam, back again as rain, Without me the world would be lost in pain. I won't always loop forever, you know, It's your world now that together I sew, But bad times come, and good ones pass, Evading our fingers, impossible to grasp. I won't always loop forever, you know, Your world is not always as clean as my snow, You disrespect me, forget who I was, Forget that without me, y

I Love You, Angel by GavynScarborrough, literature

Literature

I Love You, Angel

The angel was singing Calypso on the corner of McNary and Ninth, her pure white wings spread to the sides and her head held high. Mak couldn't help but smile as he crept up behind her and waited for her to finish her song. As the last note died, he threw his arms around her waist and picked her up, twirling her around. Her wings shot straight up with surprise. She screamed. Then she recognized him and started laughing. "Hello, Mak." "Hello, Aria." He set her down, and she turned in his arms. He loved being this close to her, close enough to touch her soft, golden hair and to run his hands over her downy feathers. He met her wide, earnest

He took her hand in his and turned it over. He pressed his lips to her palm, then to the intricate lace of veins that showed through the translucent skin of her wrists. When he looked up, his eyes were full of longing. For her, he was never the legend the world saw him as. He was simply her other half. "Tell me to stay," he begged. "How can I, when the world is calling your name?" "Even if God were calling, I am first and foremost your slave, bound by my own heartstrings and helpless before you." He stepped closer and rested his forehead against her neck. Laughing quietly, she ran a hand through his hair. "You have to go." He began

He smiled as the crisp sea breeze blew over his face. So far away from land, it smelled of brine and sunshine. Amber rays of light set the water on fire with reds and golds. The sun was swollen on the horizon, all crimson and burnt orange. He stretched himself out on the bow, letting the golden rays warm him. The dry heat pressed in on his soul, beating out the freezing coldness that had settled there. Something was wrong. There was a strange twinge in his soul, a guilt that he couldn't name. His chest felt as if it had been run through with icicles, and the adrenaline in his veins wouldn't let him keep still. It was like the cold depths

Passionate Regrets

why are you touching me? snow-stained fingertips grazing my skin, spreading the ice crystals deep down, deep down. it's skeletal, and you should know what bones and flesh don't mix. it's like frosty glazing caressing dancing flames. your disease is spreading through me, crumbling the defences and muffling my cries. it's all bleeding tears and hidden chokes, because i love you and i don't want you to see it. although it's written on my wrists as clear as daylight, and i can't hide what my eyes whisper. they're green and swirling and spiralling with a message no one can mistake, not even you. can you feel that tremble when our skin touches, di

In Case You Were Wondering by IndigoSkyes, literature

In Case You Were Wondering

For as long as I can remember, people have asked me "why do you write?" At first, the answer seemed fairly obvious: "because I like to." I wrote down everything; the smell of toast and the sound of water running and even things I'd never experienced before. I didn't discriminate. I knew that everything had the potential to be a story. I read. Like crazy. I read until my eyes fell out and my brain mushed. I didn't think about it, just let it come as it would. Most of the time, it didn't even make sense at all. And I was happy with it all, with my ink-smudged fingers and my notebooks swollen with poems. But then life got that much more compl

I stand before you a warrior (I cower behind myself) I stand before you a champion (I have defeated myself) I stand before you a savior (I have condemned myself) I stand before you a survivor (I already killed myself) While I am before you I am not me I am clearly something You cannot see I come to you a prophet (I have lost myself) I come to you a light (I still shroud myself) I come to you a way (I was misled myself) I come to you a healer (I cannot mend myself) When I come to you I have no face I search for something By your grace

Transformation

I was born as a droplet And I grew to be the ocean— Never quiet, Never resting. Always lurching, Always churning. Making others want to do the same. I was born as a mime And I grew to be a chirping bird— Tongue twittering with revolution, Lips molding new thoughts. Relentlessly thinking, Speaking my mind. Making others want to do the same. I was born as a statue And I grew to be a passionate dancer— Arms fanning out in graceful patterns, Feet tapping their own rhythm. Sparking new ideas for poses, Inspiring everyone to get in motion. Making others want to do the same. I am a rebel Starting a movement Of o

Until I see you next!

0 min read

I'm moving! It's going to be a busy few weeks, so if I'm not on much or at all, that's life. I'm joining a writer's group at my new location, hopefully, and I may even get some work done. XD So: May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun fall warmly on your face, May the rain fall gently on your fields, And wherever you go, May your god hold you gently in the palm of his hand. Until I see you next! <3

Gavyn is a GIRL

0 min read

First off, it's my birthday party today, so I'm really hyped and ready to go. I also probably won't get much work done. Secondly, I saw uchihablur (https://www.deviantart.com/uchihablur) do this one, so I thought I'd follow her lead. I keep getting mistaken for a boy, so we'll see how that matches up to the test. BOY/GIRL MEME! YOUR BOY SIDE: [x] you love hoodies [x] you love jeans [ ] dogs are better than cats [x] it's hilarious when people get hurt and fall [Only after I've checked on them, but yeah.] [x] you've played with/against boys on a team?

New Story Idea!

0 min read

I have a new story idea I'm working on, and I've got about five pages of it. I might post them... but if I do, anyone who steals them will be poena cullei-ed. (The poena cullei is a Roman punishment... look it up on your own time.) It's in the popular stream, but hopefully it won't be just another teen fiction. We'll see soon enough.
