The OneI find myself.
Falling apart.
At the memories of a once loved dream.
Crumbled to a grain of sand.
Gently through my hand The plan became void
Nil Destroyed
Dawn's early light sweet delight
aborted me as you once enjoyed me
You the one.
Beauty Constructed.
Built to tear me apart inside out.
Embrace this broken body of mine.
As we once conducted ourselves
simply felt a warm wind blow in
beginning to cleanse as it sometimes depends
you retract and pull me back in
You reduce me to such a sight.
being controlled to your every whim.

wierszbo wiersz rymować się nie musi
wiersz to zagadka słowa,
co nas swym pięknem razi,
co nas zaklęciem mami
i kruszy
wiersz to melodia
słyszalna tylko, jak się ją
wyśpiewa
wiersz to dusza Sztuki
milcząca na szaleństwo

Save My CityThe world is in flames. My city, in shambles. I have failed my people.
Today is the Seventeenth of November. I write in this journal for what may be the last time. My office is dark; the creatures have knocked down the electric lines and no one is left to run the back-up generator. The moon provides barely enough illumination for me to put pen to paper. Though my words are marred by jumbled thoughts and shaking hands, I feel it is my final duty as the mayor of this town to log its final hour.
Behind me, across the room, the window reveals a hateful image. Droves of the creatures, crawling over the mud and fields ruined by their dreadful approach. I could not begin to explain what they are or where they have come from. They behave like nothing I have ever seen before... Disgusting, abhorrent creatures.
From afar, they appear to be wounded soldiers returning to our city, perhaps

Beyond Absolution: ProloguePrologue: Sweet Raptured Light
I broke the surface of consciousness like a drowning man. Gasping thin breaths, I strained for air against the angry band of pain that crushed my throat to the width of a narrow reed. My fingers felt as thick as sausages as I dug them into the rope. A weak, phlegmy cough rasped air painfully past my throat, dragging me back towards unconsciousness as the pain threatened to spill over.
I’m dying, screamed the wild part of my brain. I’m dying I’m dying I’m dying I’m dying!
Darkness blurred the corners of my eyes; coughs wracked my body, doubled me over on the floorboards. My pale, snatched breaths weren’t enough to save me; they just prolonged the inevitable, kept me conscious as I scrabbled about my neck, tugging desperately at the rope that cut into me like fire. A heavy knot was tied at the base of my skull. With my last reserves of

Okay, here goes...
Many comments have been made, many people have hauled off and jumped and are now wondering what is really going on, many tears have been cried (at least by me cuz y'all--y'all are mean. Enough said about that, it doesn't matter. I wish everyone all of the best and more.
I would like to take a few minutes to say two things:
1) Many have come through DLD and been better in this literature community for it. Dedication and hard work helped forward their already progressing talent. Not me, not Will, not Lili or any other running administrator--just dedication and hard work. We have present and former hats, badges and most of all the owners of co
Will's Final Words
Final Words
It is with a hesitant mind and a bloated heart that I write this. DailyLitDeviations (https://www.deviantart.com/dailylitdeviations) was something that was formed out of frustration and anger. I suppose I am not surprised to see it go out that way. A young man named Brandon and I were complaining in a private chat room about how little literature was featured on dA and that we were tired of it. We both wrote several emails to the staff only to be ignored like so many quality artists out there. Eventually we knew that we had to do something or explode from frustration. And so DLD was born. I stayed up for 5 or 7 days straight. My wife hated me and my phone bill went throug
New Information...
It seems that all of you in need of seeing this tradition go on can be satisfied. I would direct you to the account of TheseKrimzonFlames (https://www.deviantart.com/thesekrimzonflames) where you will find links to a new account where his version of DLD will go on in a new and different form.
I am awaiting a journal entry from VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart) to post here with his thoughts on our closing of this particular project. It will be posted soonest.
Few know of my own love and time put into this project because few worked night and day alongside me to take care of everything possible from general administration duties to contests, to answering 100s of messages a day and soliciting everywhere p
Everyone, please hold on...
Please be advised that we are in the process of deciding what and how to do with this account by way of moving on--by "we" I mean myself, VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart), and various seniors/members that are interested in sticking with something DLD or DLD-like. Everyone's responses are being taken into consideration--even the personal attacks made on me are valued opinions. This account owns a number of points and I am considering doling them out to a group of people who would like to start-up a new group in the same vein. A group of people who are concerned with the work of the literature community and not the kudos that go with serving the community. I ha

Wow, thankyou for choosing Beyond Absolution for the feature ^^. I've been drowning in exam study to the detriment of my dA work lately, but this has most certainly brightened my day (week? More?) and resolve!
Soon as I've finished this set of notes on Descartes I'll be sure to check out the rest of the great work that's been featured .
