A Lifelong Romance

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

In that lone pit where I was living-dead,
No one heard me suffer in my silence,
But when I had lost hope, you came, and instead
Pull’d me up; you are my deliverance;
We would walk together, you beside me,
And we would talk for hours upon end
Of love and dreams, books and philosophies,
We’d lie in fields, list’n to music, then
Run off to the library. You know my
Thoughts like a book, if I’m happy or worse;
If you happ’n to hear my pathetic sighs,
You relieve my pain and sing in sweet verse;
You know all my faults, and you can see
That we are two bright souls in one body.

My first ever Daily Deviation! SWEET!!

Emerald Flutter ByEarth, stone, wood crunch beneath wand'ring footsteps
As I walk the slop’d woods of Glendalough,
Cold, crisp winds blow, and stir the red-gold mess
Of leaves which, from their green tops, have fall’n low.
I descend the slopes to the Lake and set
Sight ‘pon th’swans who, in turn, see me alone.
With not another glance they spread their wings;
And I watch them fleeing, flying, fading.

I gaze into the grey mirror, showing
The clouds, the sky, the sun. I pick and cast
A stone, and it sinks, water rippling
Like memory; I think of spring long past,
And th’emerald butterfly drifting
From flower to flower on a warm draftEmerald Flutter By by ~MarcusPenrose

The Mourning HusbandI confess, I miss by belovéd wife.
She was th’earth and sky to me, as I
Was a hotblooded youth, prone to reckless
Exploits with my high born privileges.
But let me tell you how our story start’d.
We met in the West Indies, I’d depart’d
There with my father and brother, and I’m
Afraid it wasn’t love at first sight. Sublime
Beauty of jungles, mountains, and great heat
Were darken’d by th’reason we had to meet:
She was of wealthy stock; ‘twas for money
That we were forc’d bound in matrimony.
But she was not an unpleasant creature:
She had dark hair, slim body, fine features,
And The Mourning Husband by ~MarcusPenrose

THE ESSENCE OF THE GNOSTICS PT. 3Hello to all of my friends and watchers,
I have dozens of friends here in deviantART from the country of Turkey, and it breaks my heart what is going on in Istanbul right now. It all started with developers wanting to tear down and destroy a historic park called Gezi Park in Istanbul. This would be the equivalent of developers wanting to tear down Central Park in New York! The citizens of Istanbul went to Gezi Park in the thousands to protest this, and Police in riot gear showed up and beat them back with tear gas and water canons. Over 4000 injuries have been reported, with casualties that could be in the dozens. Some have lost their eyesight from the teargas, and others are being detained by police without due process of law. The Turkish people remain undeterred in their fight to save Gezi Park and to fight for their freedom and the right to have their voices heard. Join me in praying for them, and supporting them as they continue the fight. THE ESSENCE OF THE GNOSTICS PT. 3 by =DragonsChest

THE ESSENCE OF THE GNOSTICS PT. 2Last week we talked about the basic cosmology of Gnosticism, and the general set up of the Gnostic pantheon. Just like Christianity having its many sects, so do the Gnostics. Christians have these sects because different men have set forth their own interpretation of the religion and fit a kind of doctrine to go along with that interpretation. Just to name a few there are the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics, and Lutherans. Many have done the same with Gnosticism, but none had a greater impact than Mani, Marcion, and Valentinus. Tonight we shall look at these three men, and discover what it was that they contributed to Gnostic thought and the Gnostic movement.
Marcion of Sinope was born in 85 AD in Turkey. He spent a great portion of his youth studying the new Christian faith, and even donated a large sum of money to the church. For reasons unknown, Marcion stopped believing in the Old Testament God as the same God he knew and loved. Try as he might, he could noTHE ESSENCE OF THE GNOSTICS PT. 2 by =DragonsChest

Spot the liarthis little story is based on my own quote: "How can a person think if so many voices are screaming at them?"
THAT VOICE.
what? Did you just smile? .Cover your face and feel the cold, red-rich blood stick to your skin.It still smells of him.That guy that use to be happy for the both of you.What did you do? Numb your mind of what you've done and get the hell out of there. No don't you cant look back. Its too late.Run as fast as humanly possible you selfish idiot, do you want to surrender to guilt?Let yourself tremor with rage...THIS IS FOR YOURSELF YOU BASTARD... FEEL GRATEFUL".No mercy

To The Beautiful YouTo The Beautiful You:

Here we are, sitting behind these screens of glass,

Reading lines of text, yet smiling, laughing and crying.

It's strange to think that I could have this much fun -

Considering that I've never met you before, but then again

Perhaps that's the reason why I don't have to pretend.

Some people might tell me, that what we have is just a fantasy,

I doubt I'll have the chance to actually see you in this life-time.

But even so, in the time that we've spent together - Well,

I feel as though I've connected with you, more than anyone else.

I feel as though I know you better, than those just a few feet away.

What be this witchcraft?

Journals / Personal

Mood: Wow!
Listening to: Final Fantasy X Soundtracks
Reading: Brighton Rock - Graham Greene
Watching: Have I Got News For You
Playing: Music (no time for games)
Eating: Cake
Drinking: Elderflower Cordial

How odd. I had warned people before that I was going to be having a break from the hustle and bustle of dA, due to work overload. But now the waves of education have calmed from their tidal yawns, to whispering foam on the shores.
Consequently: the writing has resumed, and I've a satirical piece waiting in the wings (which needs a serious editing, I've a friend helping).

Now, is it just me, or was somebody waiting for this to happen? No sooner had I put fingers to keyboard last night, then suddenly, the next day I am overwhelmed by all these faves and comments. This DD-thing suddenly has attracted all these readers. (It must be a good thing!) Be it coincidence, fate, God, magic, destiny? I don't know and don't care!
This is a sign to resume work! I've a satire to complete! I have a novel to write! And poetry! Time to resume the poetry, the wonders of imagery, the magic of the meter and the thrill of rhyme!

Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!!!
