Beauty Under Glass by mcstuff, literature

Literature

Beauty Under Glass

Barely lit and plainly bright A light all her own She becomes lost in the night I am called upon "Save her from the danger there" She is imprisoned Her light under glass To save her, I fight She is free from her prison I offer my hand My hand is refused The beauty cannot be mine Her light belongs to no one This beauty cannot be mine Together we leave Together we trek We are both alone always Hero, light, apart We love, but at a distance A double helix of fates Interwoven but Never touching each other

Dear God by mcstuff, literature

Dear God

Dear God, I'm in a coma. Man - God, I've been in this coma for about a week now. God - Yes, I know that. Man - What is going to happen to me? Am I going to wake up soon, or be a vegetable? God - … Man - The only excitement I get is when a nurse comes to change my bedpan or refill the intravenous solution. God - You will wake up. Man - Soon? God - A few years from now. Man - Really? God - You wake up for three minutes before you die. Man - How many years? God - Over five. Man - Won't I be brain-dead? God - Yes. Man - Can't I forfeit those minutes and stop here? God - You would rather die. Give up the gift of life I have given

Garden Walk

At first I couldn't put my finger on what bothered me about her. It wasn't her body that's for sure, it wasn't her face, it wasn't even the way she dressed. It was that something about people you can't see, that something you can only touch when you are in love. While I tried to put my finger on what it was she caught my gaze and made her way over to me. The crowded garden maze seemed to stifle all that I was feeling, the logical part of me wanted to run, but of course I stayed. When I would look back I don't know how she made it to me, in my mind she is still walking, it took so long, but only seconds. She waded through the crowd elega

I am sitting in a Bar

I am sitting in a bar. I am sitting at a table just watching a frosty glass of Sprite get warm and lose its carbonation. It is almost too dark to see the bubbles on the side of the glass collect and surface. There is a drunken college student making love to the karaoke microphone and an old Tom Petty song. There should be laws about doing so poorly to such a classic song in public. No one at my table is paying attention to him, or me for that matter. I have been here for about three hours; they showed up about half an hour ago. They were at another bar across town before they came here. Since they've been here they've had three rounds

Self Esteem

B- "Wake up, I wanna talk to you." /A stirs, wearing hat over face/ B- "HEY!!" /A doesn't move except to flip off B/ B- /B smacks A hard on the head/ "It shouldn't be this hard to get your attention." A- /A removes hat pulling his long hair into his face/ "Damn figment." B- "As your self esteem I think that it's important to discuss something with you." A- "You're my self esteem?" B- "Yeah." A- "Um, haven't seem you in awhile." B- "That's part of the problem. I'm low, YOU'RE low. At least your self esteem is low." A- "I got apathy working the day shift nowadays." B- /shouts/ "That's not healthy!" /A shrugs and pull the hat back

Applications For Dummies

Dear Club leaders/Teachers/future employers, I’ll begin by answering those fantastic short answer questions which I love so much. I think I would be right for this position because I’m perfect in every way… Alright, maybe not perfect but pretty close. Isn’t this the answer you want? Or should I say something else. Maybe I should brag of my fantastic GPA, or how I’ve always dreamt of doing all of your work for you. Would that make you happy? Or would you just scan over my artificial words? Would you check me off just for answering the right questions, and remembering to scribb

A slight chance of rain by Chocabookaholic, literature

A slight chance of rain

The phone rings down the hall A heart stops beating We all know what it is But nothing stops us from retreating A hand grasps the phone And a voice calls out Although we all linger We know what it’s about And there’s a slight chance of rain today There’s nothing we can do, and there’s nothing we can say As the world is shadowed in grey It rains today A soldier’s mother or a patient’s father They’re all the same Falling to the floor, or slamming a door It’s such a shame We don’t value life Until it is lost Then we can grasp it But at what cost And there’s a slight chance of

Bohemian Paradise - Part 1

"Young man?" came a tentative voice from the hallway. "Is this seat taken?" It was a woman who looked to be in her seventies. "No, be my guest," I motioned towards the seat across from me. People so rarely travel the rails these days I wasn't used to sharing a cabin. "Can I help you with that?" I motioned towards her bulky luggage. "I'd really appreciate it." I put her luggage snuggly between the seats. We sat across from each other, she took out a pocket book. The train began to move, so I closed my eyes and began to meditate. Before the woman came into my cabin it had smelled faintly of beer, now it had the musky smell of the old

Hey all; I was gone for a bit. Personal reasons and then time to clear my head. I'll try to check out everyone's submissions but no promises. If there's something you're dying to have me look at please note me. BTW, I'd LOVE it if there's something you're eager to show me. If you can take that much pride in your work send a link in a note and I'll check it out double-quick. Brian

You can't get rid of me that easily

0 min read

It sure has been awhile. I stopped checking in back in May. But I've got excuses; good ones. Rather than feed you guys a bunch lines about why I stopped showing up I'll try to write it as a memoir, at least that way it'll be easy to read. Keep in mind that memoirs are not always 100% accurate and focus on the craft of writing rather than the perfect recollection of details. When I get to the part about conquering Oceania on a steam ship you can attribute it to creative liberties. I should also mention that this story will be entirely a recollection, no dialogue or detailed descriptions. First excuse. On May seventh I met a girl, let's call

YOU’VE BEEN POKED!

If you've been poked it shows that you are either a very good friend or a very good artist. If you have been poked then you must poke at least five people on DA that you view as a great friend or a great artist as well as the one who poked you. Happy Poking!
