Lullaby for the Suicidal by stealing-beauty, literature

For Meredith by stealing-beauty, literature

Literature

For Meredith

With memories of roman candles Painted faces of vampires and ghosts Still shining brightly in your mind On All Soul's Eve You walked into The lion's den The spider's web The serpent's lair… A fragile butterfly They clipped your wings And stole your beauty from this world Strange twist of fate That lures the innocent Into the fangs of wolves As angels cover their ears And gods turn a blind eye... Now all that is left Is a smile that screams That you were never meant to suffer For where you walked No shadow fell And trees grow in your name there now Memorials to your beauty and grace They stretch their branches endle

Dumbledore's Farewell by stealing-beauty, literature

Literature

Dumbledore's Farewell

It was a warm summer evening. Severus Snape was standing at the window looking into a fiery sunset when he heard someone at the door. He knew immediately who his visitor was, and what he had come for. "Is it time?" Snape asked, without averting his gaze. "Yes, Severus. It is time," said Albus Dumbledore. "I am leaving soon, and if I return, I fear there will be little time for goodbyes." He spoke in a light and matter-of-fact voice that did not match the seriousness of his words, as if he might have been talking about a Quidditch match, or his favourite jelly bean flavour. Snape turned around, despair and revulsion etched into his pale fea

Literature

For Severus

My Love for you will not be understood By those who have never seen a raven's feather Glisten in the winter moonlight Or those that have not seen ice melt At the mere touch of a warm hand Those that fear the darkness in your eyes Do not know that on a starless night The stars are just behind the clouds Not failing to bestow their light And they have never found a treasure In the depth of a tenebrous cavern Or seen behind a hideous mask The wondrous sight of silent, hidden beauty My Love for you will not be understood And it was never meant to be It is but a secret kept by the dungeons And remains, like you, a mystery

Literature

The Ghost of Lily

~I Show Not Your Face But Your Heart's Desire~ It was winter. Severus Snape stood by the frosted window and looked out over the snow covered grounds of Hogwarts. But he did not see the present - his eyes were looking into a long lost past. Even after all this time, the castle grounds were still filled with her presence. He still saw her footsteps where they had once walked together, felt her shadow beside him in the darkness, and every empty hallway was still ringing with her laughter, haunting him forever. It was here that he had lost her, he knew. In his mind, he had gone over it a million times, done something different, said the words

The Castle by Wandering-Heart, literature

Literature

The Castle

When the sun shines on a deserted beach, the empty stretch of sand gains a certain melancholy quality. There are no laughing children, and no teenagers trying to ride the rough waves that roll over the grey water, being called out to by anxious parents. There is only the quiet roar of the sea as it rages and pounds the dark sand. A few umbrellas have managed to remain upright in the sand, but they are skeletons now, thin strips of metal that have begun to rust and fade away. The small fence that marks off the beach is falling apart. On every slat of wood, some passerby has scrawled a message. There are love notes, curse words, and, occasiona

Wondering why by PennyDiamond, literature

Literature

Wondering why

Your eyes wandered farther than ever before Searching for something to grasp. And I wish there was comfort contained in the thought That this to shall pass. And you're falling, into the sky Leaving me here, wondering why And I wish it would pass, pass me right by. I'm tired of crying and wondering why. I'm tired of screaming my fears to the night Repeating again and again I'm alright. And you're falling into the sky Leaving me here, wondering why. Wondering, Why?

The Phoenix by PennyDiamond, literature

Literature

The Phoenix

sear away the silence burn away the pain find inside these embers a different kind of flame find the courage lacking to carve a different you to burn down everything you know and start from something new find a separate purpose a distinctive set of laws a different kind of melody and disparate bunch of flaws leave the dying embers and create a different art pull from out the ashes a freshly beating heart breathe a new found rhythm walk less trodden paths find a different meaning and reason for your laughs dance upon your ashes glory in your end embrace the flame with kindness and great it as a friend

I Am Not Tragic by PennyDiamond, literature

Literature

I Am Not Tragic

I learned my metaphors and rhyme schemes In a sea of broken glass I drew strength from all the ghosts that grew In other peoples pasts I left my church, I left my people With their pedestals and pain And I can rhyme my way through trauma Born by women without names And when I left and there was nothing But wisps of clouds and space I prayed to lovers I'd imagined And used knife blades as a brace But now I'm sitting in this city With its cigarettes and smoke And I wash these wounds in rainbows And the love you said you'd broke I am light, I am refraction You can't cleave the sky in two So keep your glory and salvation And the name I never

I stole this idea from the fabulous SilivrenTinu (https://www.deviantart.com/silivrentinu) - hope she doesn't mind :blushes: As my 2,000 pageviews are coming up, I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to visit this page. My gallery is hardly one of the major attractions on dA but I'm glad that some of you like my photos, and every fav and comment is very, very much appreciated. :thanks: :hug: Thanks most of all to my dear friends and watchers: ~souldoll (https://www.deviantart.com/souldoll) :iconlostknightkg: :iconEowadia-Elvomir: :iconrad-ix: :iconrw4n: :iconDash-man: :iconharisaja: :icontheTerryclothWarrior: :iconFuriousxr: :iconrezabatak: :iconSilivrenTinu: :iconYuri-tiger: :iconfagas: :ico

Ok, I guess I should at least get rid of the away-message that was my last journal entry. I'm currently very busy with exam preparations and on top of that my parents have conveniently decided to renovate our flat, which means I'm not around much at the minute. There are some messages I still need to reply to, so many new deviations I need to take a look at, emails I need to write and tons of photos from Croatia waiting to be sorted through. I'm really sorry to everyone that I still owe a reply, I promise I'm working on it and will get back to you as soon as I can. :hug: to everybody and a special :poke: to Mr. JoeKehr, Mara ~*Friends*~

I loved both the style and the mood of the picture... It made me feel for the depicted character. The title was also intriguing, even though I don't know the story.

And I'm usually horrible at titles, so the fact that you liked this one is good news. XD
