Literature

City in the Sky

Theres a city in the sky Just beyond the wispy clouds Where no planes can ever fly On the fringe of heavens boundsAll but frostily it gleams silver-spired, golden domed in the throes of feverish dreams have this citys streets I roamed.Mist curls on the winding lanes and I follow in its stead Softly there the moonlight wanes where no human foot has treadAlabaster buildings stand Bridged by arching marble stairs Fountains bubble on white sand Before grand cathedral squares Clouds cool me as they brush past, Speckling dew the current swells On the tower as on a mast, Of a ship wrought fair and vast, Faintly ring the silver bellsFeather...

Disillusioned by cari-chan, literature

Literature

Disillusioned

Intellectualism binds condescension, and confines altruism, thoughts and feeling, all the biases revealing, of the tightly narrowed mind.Intellectualism blinds looking down upon the crowds; our pretentiousness obscuring, our pride kindling and stirring; overwhelming our sound judgment with its turbid, roiling cloudsIntellectualism lies smug disdain behind our eyes glittering in sardonic mocking, our inborn ascendance stalking, as their judgment we contrive.Conscience surely would have wept, in her soft and humbling cries, intellectually swept with delusions of these lies our deception set to shatter built up as we ourselves flatter and...

In Vino Veritas by cari-chan, literature

Literature

In Vino Veritas

In vino veritas, they say their glasses clinking, lightbulbs sway, and deeper sinking, dizzy heights, til all their worries melt away. A single throaty cello plays. The violinists too far gone to loose their own, exquisite song.Enlightenment in drink, they seek;Whilst lost, to find a purer truth; in wormwood, an eternal youth! Fermented grapes theyd sip success and earnestly their griefs redress.Truth belies shame like wine to flame, a hissing, numbing, giddy pain.Or so they say. Yet night wanes fast each lazy sip could be the last The moments drip and drift, night pastAnd wincing in the light of day Awake and cotton stuffed, they...

The End of Ares by cari-chan, literature

Literature

The End of Ares

The bleak grey days that followed Ares’ flight marked a descent into depression for his partner. The raw sting of abandonment, the acute tinges of loneliness, and the growing worry weighed down heavily on Eris, but it seemed the smaller things illustrated her loss most accurately.The second bedroom remained empty, no loud music echoing for Eris to yell over, no bed to straighten up, no scolding to do. The lights, the television, were docile to only her command. That Saturday, no one would drag her clubbing, telling her she needed to get out of the house. There were no conversations, no arguments, no silly worries – a glumness has settled u...

Before the Gates

Two Cherubs, sweet angels, sat up in a tree Below them, a cynic, a skeptic, stood HeO’er mountains of cloud had they crossed to arrive, And through bitter frost had He fought to surviveThey stood now, before gates, debating upon the meaning of life they had seen on their long (his perilous and) their delightful voyage a travel, a search, through existence for (flaws)… “ That led on by hearing, An accursed lie – The truth, on revealing, is better let die. ”But they begged to differ, for they had seen more – And many a day had they sang in their choir…“The voice is a blessing, and talent, a gift!” Replied he, “ ...

the Hunter by cari-chan, literature

Literature

the Hunter

The scarlet hues Now fade to grey, And blood-caked, soiled hands now lay aside the sabre, and Hunter proud throws off his cape – a deadly shroud and stops to rest, to mock and gloat down at his foe, pierced at the throat. A long and dreadful silence sounds as Challenger, the victim, drowns Chokes on his own and desperate blood and fiercely glares Up from the mud. The battle had been quickly fought the Hunter in his skills well taught and Challenger, come from afar, had recklessly and boldly marred the Hunter’s ears with words of scorn as victim, he now lies forlorn. As scarlet hues Now fade to gray, As Hunter turns From dying prey.

Slipping by cari-chan, literature

Slipping

Am I that obvious about it? Can I, no longer hide? What I feel, the mask is slipping Coming out, from far within, From the inside— Is there really no survival? No enduring of the fall? Of the reckless intuition That I can still defeat all— Am I that obvious about it? Is it really so define? So incredibly, completely Subtly so… So fine? Can it not be withheld? Does it really have to pass? Can it not perish in the peril; That I recognize its path?Am I that obvious about it? Yes, I have seen such things before. Such compliable, such bendable, Such weaknesses of core… And yet— It really comes to wonder, What this new spring— Of sympathy and op...

Ocean of the Sky by cari-chan, literature

Literature

Ocean of the Sky

As the clouds roll by, In the ocean of the sky. As the waves foam white, Arching over the night,As the Sun shines gold, As the moon’s sheen’s cold, In the storm wind or breeze, Off the shores of endless Seas.Through the fog and rain, Through remorse or pain, You will always hear a cry Of an echo of the ocean in the sky.From the deepest night, To reflected light, To the starry specks of jewels In the waves of mirrored blues.To the Sea Gulls sweeping high Through the ocean of the sky Wind and water currents flow Turning feathers to a snow.When the sun has shed its rays Through the ocean’s misty haze And the evening starts to stall Then the r...

V'our Dream

A dreamer’s an ocean Of thoughts and of feeling A dreamer’s a Sea Of relief The thing you are dreading, The things you are dreaming, Shall always be true’ve your belief.A dream is a planet That orbits a dreamer Its rings and its hoops Mirror thoughts, mirror feelings, It shows our intention, Personalization, A dream on the wings V’our imagination.It deals with the past, The present of times. It shows us ourselves— At the heights we have climbed. The dreams’ angled oval It cuts off rough edges It ‘smoothens’ things over Reality’s catches.But always the dreamer Must waken to find Reality’s harsher truths, Clearly defined:The chilling night a...

Green Tea

0 min read

I've moved to :iconNevryst: Humor me. Go on. It won't take very long.-----------Lukewarm green tea hardly strives to please and yet, its wilted, crumbling leaves still sate my thirst and quench my need for whatever reprieve I bleed.Not that I'm bleeding or anything of course, merely a turn of phrase, a rhyme that strives and fails to please Perhaps again I'll take a sip and hearken to those unassuming leavesbesides, I'd rather rhyme with bleed than imply any fault, say weed. Green tea, that's all I really have content with worry that unabates maybe I'll skip a step and wait a comforting workload awaits I'd rather lather up and sleep than k...

My patience, thin as it has been, wanes in the face of circumstance.I shall enjoy, as darkness chills an undiscovered turn of thrills a wearied and mendacious dance is mine with,what's that turn of phrase?...that cruel, insidious romance woven by only devilish chance.I'm off to CA.With work unparalleled and laze and wear and pressure there, but really,I struggle to care. Perhaps I'll recover some long lost part of myself there. Hell, the skiing'll compensate despite. Skiing is freedom; synonymous to flight. But screw all that, what I really mean is I've got to fit a college visit somewhere in between.Damn rhymes enough to scoff... I sugges...

Sunday, October 14th, 2007I've been on and off this site for the past year. Nothing I write seems worth posting, I've given up drawing, luckily, 'cause I can't draw a straight line, and I've just been busy. Not that I'm terribly depressed or anything, but, unfortunately, life must sometimes come before fantasy. (Except right now, as I'm typing this and neglecting my practice PSAT).No matter. I've had a Harry Potter relapse, though I'm still strangely fond of FDD. I'm surprised... it seems such an immature, middle school obsession. Yet it's far more appealing to me than gossip girl, or any of the other shows people my age seem to like.Junio...
