There is only ONE Featured deviation per week.

How do you get my work in here?
-->Moderators of the group have been assigned to choose the best works of our members that will be featured for a week.

What does having my work here means?
-->It means that your work is one of the better ones of the group so you get a bit of respect for that, and potentially you may get a journal feature from admins or someone else from the group if you are lucky!

Outlaws. Part I

“Faster, faster!” the boy blurted as he ran barefoot downhill, vaulting over rocks and fallen branches upon the leaf-coated slope. A brown bear was chasing after him. “Faster, man!”
But the man at his side was panting heavily. He was ten steps behind the boy, his knee-high boots barely dodging the obstacles in their path, weary under the weight of the sack he was carrying on one shoulder.
“Drop it, man, let it go,” the boy prompted, his black brow frowning.
But the man's grip tightened upon the mouth of the sack instead, and his head shook in dismissal. At the foot of the hill he stopped, crouching with his hands propped against his knees to draw breath. He breathed in and out a few times, ran a hand over his long thick moustache in a nervous overwrought gesture and, then, as if reaching a conclusion, he rushed to open his sack. He took out a fine flintlock musket of Austrian making, leaving the bag o

To all the men who didn't see me for what I wasTornadoes never make good shelters -
but he doesn't know that.
So he tries to find
refuge inside of me,
he tries to build a home
out of my bitten bones
with a porch swing
made of whatever
left-over love
someone forgot to take back.
He wants me to be a safe place
to hide away
from a troublesome summer,
but I am not made of light,
and I am not made of beginnings -
everything about me
is a never-ending ending.
Tornadoes never make good shelters -
and he will soon know that.

My ConfessionYou see and yet don't understand,
A stranger I am though a friend,
But if you'd only listen I will share -
For in these lines is all of me -
The love, the pride, the memory,
The one belief I have, oh, ave Ea....
Ave Ea.... Ave Ea....
They say it's hard to be alone
With none to call your kin and own
And that's the kind of loneliness I wear,
But what I know within my heart,
Which holds and tears me apart
's that I belong to you, oh, ave Ea....
Ave Ea.... Ave Ea....
When I was lost you showed the way,
You were my pillar through the grey
For you were always true and kind and fair -
Your strength would shine in me inside,
Into my life you brought the Light -
That's why I call your name, oh, ave Ea....
Ave Ea.... Ave Ea....
You taught me how the Truth to seek,
To not give in and to be free -
No god except myself is ever there -
For all your words in me inspire
Within me burns eternal Fire -
This Fire, it is you, oh, ave Ea....
Ave Ea.... Ave Ea....

Black MagicI am a human, my gender is female.
My hair is bluish-black and skin is pale.
I can say I am alive, but only physically.
Feelings are dead, there is no sympathy.
Over the times battle scars got deeper.
Becoming tired inside,
my soul is crippled.
All good I touch becomes filth.
Conscience goes blank without guilt.
With pain of my bleeding heart,
I suffered constantly, I suffered to much.
No way to describe it unless you share same fate.
Imagining better world on the end of the rails.
Someone will notice and give you a hand.
You persuade yourself there is still some hope,
but future tailored paths of past again,
covered with mystic fog.
Everyone's gone!
''Hey my dear all mighty God!
Where are you now?
Saving some hungry children
or sharing a peace and justice?
I can't hear you,
do you even care?
You left me too,
I am very scared.''
Sitting defeated in the big dark room,
holding my favorite black pen,
on clean sheet of paper,
