Poetry

Revenantthey came like phantoms;

oceanic whispers left me washed out.
those gossamer ghosts that lined
the doorways-- eyes in a constant
state of surprise as they reached for me:

needle fingers pricked, fueling
my addictions. they ached
for my veins, entangled like
the strings of my paper heart

and they stained my skin,
amethyst bruises in the shape
of recognition.

their breaths were the heavy hums
of a forgotten lullaby "one day you
will leave, and you will fade into a
virulent void, like us. you will warm
our icy bones, and we will love you,
like no one else can.

go back to sleep, little girl, we will
come again" with their cer

"Revenant" by ~intricately-ordinary

The imagery the writer uses
to create the piece sets the
tone for the melancholy ending,
leaving the reader with a taste
of heartbreaking beauty.

MimiHer lips were cerulean; a never melting frost.
The blue blossomed in the corners of those lips
As the white of snow played upon her relaxed face as delicate as moth wings.
The perfectly quaffed hair of an angel she laid in her coffin,
Her boat that would take her on a voyage to worlds beyond.

Reminiscent to the Lady of Shallot.
Her song had sung into those who knew her
In a clear voice that ran through one's soul
As clear as a bird yet soft as a breeze.
Woven with the themes of life,
In each of us she sung her breath, her spirit.
We now carry a part of her with us.
Her story becomes ours intertwining with time through love and rem

Mimi by ~SugarCoatedLollipops

A touching dedication that
will resonate with all those
who have known and lost
beloved grandmothers.

GreyI like the color grey;
it's not black and it's not white,
but sometimes it's a little blue.

Grey by =SilverInkblot

This is one haiku that can easily be
interpreted in multiple ways!  One
thing's for sure--nothing in our world
can be described by just one word.

IntroductionSometimes what you want for Christmas won't make you happy.

"Roy! So good to see you!" I beckoned my old friend inside and hung up his coat. "How are you?"

"All right," he replied, "but I still can't grow my own coat."

I laughed at the inside joke. Roy and I had more than one common interest, but our obsession was movie monsters. We pored over pre-code comics, and he envied the werewolves even though they always died horrible deaths.

"I see college hasn't changed you," I said with a smile.

"Unfortunately not," Roy sighed. "You know what? I don't want to be a werewolf. I just want to see one. To see one and meet one, and then I'd be happy

Introduction by =JoeyLiverwurst

Enter the world of
lycanthropy with this
fine vignette by a very
good writer who seems
to live there.

The MurderessLet me say this now. The event of which you are about to read are not my fault. I am not to blame, nor did I partake in any of these events. If anything, I am a witness.

It was her. I saw her with the blood on her hands. On the knife she held. Her blue eyes held no remorse, only fear that she had been caught.

She killed my husband. The only person on this whole earth who cared about me. And she took him away.

I came home one October day, eager to surprise him with a romantic dinner. I had wonderful news to share.

I was with child.

We had been trying for so long to start our family, and now I could finally tell him that in seven month's t

The Murderess by ~GhostGirl818

A gripping psychological
horror vignette that
leaves you questioning
the sanity of the protagonist.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantART community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you :+fav: the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community and these artists.
