She always told me her life was a cake walk
But I'll never understand what kind of happiness comes from
Crushing pastries under your foot
She could stitch sunshine along her wrists
And leave the rest of us in the dark
Trying to paint our own cerulean skies
And leaving us all bereft when we only managed
To stain our skins blue
And she could dance a two-tattoo on the arch of moon beams
Licking her diamond lips to taste something more
Willow wick finger tips gleaming with still flames
Tempting a hand into her grasp so that she might
Burn life back into our hollowed bodies
She traced constellations on her lungs
So she could breathe the star dust
And have shimmering breath all year long
Instead of just in December
Her canines glinted when she grinned
Candle drops of light shinning in each tooth
And melting our hibernation patchwork
To reveal our summer skin
Her veins surged with hot apple cider and wildfires
And her cigarette smoke smelt of burning wood
Her orange and red toe nails sunk into the earth
So that the autumn might have a colorful leaf carpeting
And her sun caressed flesh could never hide her red dwarf heart
Swelling until it exploded into her own little nova
Her hair whipped like a wolf girl's mane
A savage red that only fell out in the winter of her years
She always promised me that she could speak
In the tongues of the universe and rain
Like she was the God I believed in
Dream catchers swayed on her eyelashes
And blue jays smirked in her gaze
Jack rabbits sprinted through her bittersweet soul
Geese migrated through her thoughts
As eclipses and sunsets became the backdrop of her voice
I still find myself watching the night sky and pondering
Why the grass was evenly green for her on both sides
Of the rotting picket fence
Her days of skimming the stars definitely came out of nowhere
Because for the longest time
She flew only when she thought no one was looking
COLLEGE LITERARY MAGAZINE SEEKING SUBMISSIONS
HELLO all, it's been a while but I have wonderful news!
This year I am working on a team of editors for Oakland University's literary magazine, The Oakland Arts Review (OAR).
Unlike other college journals, OAR seeks to accept submissions from students attending other universities, from across the globe. We pride ourselves on being one of the few college magazines that do this!
At present, OAR magazine is eager to receive submissions for its fourth edition.
Submissions may consist of poetry, fiction, creative/nonfiction, comics, and visual art!
Submitters MUST be enrolled as undergraduates at the time of their subm
Hey guys
Hey all, just thought I'd pop in to remind everyone I'm not dead or permanently inactive, just quite busy this summer. Just some reminders that:
A. I have not forgotten about the book, I'm actually working quite hard on it, there've just been some design issues and lots of editing and revising that's keeping me plenty preoccupied. But I promise, it is coming.
B. I will return with more regular activity once the fall rolls around (I hope ><). Summer has been hectic and consistency has been a difficult thing to uphold.
C. I love all of you and to everyone who's still watching me after months of inactivity, I appreciate you;; I make s
*searches for survivors in my wreck of a profile*
Well yeah here I am! I'm going to immediately start with the obvious and say I've been making transitions into a new stage in my life, and as a result of this I am not as active as I used to be on this site. Before you panic, no, that doesn't mean I'm going to keep my page dead and empty like it has been for months, and I'm not quitting or any of that nonsense!
I actually think this new transition has been good for me, even if in some ways I still don't recognize how.
Anyway, on with the monster update!
Survived (using that word as heavy-handedly as I can) my first year of college. I discovered towards the end that psychology isn't quite w
yup yup yup Looooong 'Update'
Wow, haven't done an update in more than a year. Geez.
Anyhow, I suddenly got the urge to divulge the latest happenings in my life, so...yeeeah!
So, I'm finally a freshman in college, and it's going alright. Albeit this semester is insanely harder than my previous one. But I do think it's still manageable all the same, just longer study hours and more discipline is involved.
I finally figured out I can't live without english in my life, but at the same time, I sincerely want to see where I'll go if i pursue a career as a clinical psychologist. So I declared a double major.
I have to say, it feels really good to not have to make that ch
