MIKO -- Chapter 1 by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

MIKO -- Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Glenndechar's Mission Glenndechar will never forget the day Mikoronosha fell from the seventh floor of their apartment complex. Rather, he will never forget the day he pushed her. He couldn't say it was the worst day of his life, but from his perspective it was indeed a terrible one that still remains vivid in his mind. To this day, he remembers her screams ringing in his ears so loudly that he couldn't even hear his own. He remembers her helpless body twisting and straining, her limbs flailing to grasp nothing. He remembers the way her crimson hair enveloped her like a blanket and how her gaze never left his. But the look

Literature

MIKO -- prologue

Prologue The black skies were storming hard in the City of Joltice when Shakara awoke from her own earsplitting cries. So loud was the thunder outside, however, that her little brother wasn't sure if he'd actually heard his sister in the next room or not. Out of instinct he ran to her bedroom, pajama-clad and worried, to see if she was all right. Her door was locked. The boy pounded his little fists as hard as he could, but the blunt "thuds" were not able to compete with the roaring from outside the castle. Inside, Shakara tried to control her hysteria. She rocked herself back and forth, trembling, trying to relive the dream she had.

Rich by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Rich

she posesses the kind of wild that makes streetlights flicker eyes that look straight through your own and expose the nothingness you've hidden all these years that soul as glazed as the eyes of a stagnant, old woman one who lived and accomplished nothing you could die the same way and that is why you feel the need to need this girl this provoker of purposes this weaver of life so when you see her sleeping you can't help but take and mix the air around her with your own scents of sweat and the vodka on your breath you shut your eyes tightly to block yourself out the night you touched her face with human hands

Progress by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Progress

find me at the farthest swingset hear the echoed laughter call so I can teach you how to fly and you can teach me not to fall it's forwards, backwards, higher, lower, swinging fast to dodge the hurt if i won't make you fly too far don't let my feet drag in the dirt we'll skin our elbows and our knees uncaring of the future scars and while I heed the ground below us you can stare up at the stars for someday we'll be far too high to hit the ground or fear the sting then we'll live rightly in the sky while teaching others how to swing

Anywhere but Here by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Anywhere but Here

moonlight shines on Jackson Jackson street is always much too long and when it's night and January walking home is much too wrong but somehow I'm left standing standing for myself since I won't lean and since the night has numbed my senses I feel feelings I won't mean and I seem to be running running to a place where it's not clear but Anywhere is where I'm headed just as long as it's not here

Literature

Intervals

The air is almost familiar again Tracing my old footsteps Of a path I used to walk Seemingly lifetimes ago When I thought I knew myself I was a crusader then I tried But the details started to fade And simple things Were beyond my understanding Everything was vague My world turned into watercolors And it always rained I forgot So I wandered in the dark Angry each time I stumbled Yet unwilling to look for light People say that when your soul hurts It means you're falling But I'm too resilient to fall I stopped Yet even so the wind kept blowing And I remained smoldering An ember too proud to go out Waiting for a half-dr

0007 -- Sweet Peas by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

0007 -- Sweet Peas

It was warmer outside than I had expected it to be. Surprisingly enough, the sky wasn't really all that gray, either, as it appeared to be from the kitchen a moment ago. In fact there wasn't a single defined cloud to be found. Instead the sky was blue -- not the deep, solid blue from summer, but a gentler, wiser, bluish silver that whispered, "Hey -- it's time for everything to awaken." So awake I was, stepping softly on the cracked cement sidewalks of my new neighborhood. I was much different now -- another person than the one I knew a month ago. Here was a new town, a new college, new roommates. I was tan now -- healthy-looking and s

Literature

0004 -- Lily

Lily always had a habit of going unnoticed. Funny thing was, she hardly noticed. She didn't care. Unlike so many people she knew, she wasn't wrapped up in herself. Rather, she was open, giving, and kind. She exposed her thoughts and feelings easily and hid nothing. Her selflessness had no restrictions. Lily was beautiful, but not the way other women were beautiful. She wasn't Rose, with all her thorns and intensity. She wasn't overly passionate or demanding. Life was simpler than that. She wasn't Daisy, who was cute and buoyant. She didn't have limitless energy or sport a broad grin. No, Lily was none of those things, but she was

Hope by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Hope

When the soul is falling And the spirit failing The light starts fading The day, not worth facing The eyes are weary The mind, full of worry The demons are waking Cold hands - heart breaking Body Shaking - but never from the cold Only the memories (But as you pass the pieces On the bare concrete, Be sure to notice the embers Scattered here and there. For they are the sunrise of a brand new day... They are second chances, The sparkle in my eye you catch from time to time, And the promise of miraculous beginnings.)

Linger by ladyjazz, literature

VaLorie by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

VaLorie

the most beautiful woman there ever was had a face full of freckles a child-like smile and a voice worth remembering but just one of hear teardrops could shatter your heart though we\'d sing anyway and the cigarette smoke dried our naive, red eyes were I given the chance I\'d have taken her scars but it wouldn\'t have mattered all the poison he fed her grew from the inside though she slipped through my fingers a long time ago I see her now and then when I catch my reflection and it terrifies me to think just for a moment that I could grow up to be just like her

Art by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Art

There is a creek behind my home, always flowing, little-knowing, never growing I ran there crying, nearly dying, in one hand there was a gift I\'d gotten long ago I rarely came out here to roam, too much stress, life\'s a mess, I confess I have lived though much more pain that you could ever guess And still I knew much better than to ever let it show No, I can\'t say how I\'ve suffered -- Lord! -- and how I\'ve suffered so! How I made it this far, I don\'t know I stood there at the water\'s edge, tears were streaming, eyes were gleaming, thoughts were screaming My mind debating, hesitating, knowing what I had to do but scared to just

The Difference by ladyjazz, literature

Here I Am by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Here I Am

we\'re always tired too busy I wanted to be something for you anything someone but I\'ve accepted my failure and my freedom yet the cage isn\'t really gone I just realized I was in it alone still if you need someone to believe in you here I am - nothing has changed and yet everything is different no matter though afterall I will always have myself my strength and the words I could never say to you but still I wonder how can I let someone go I never really had in the first place?

Departure by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Departure

\"You will never be my fate\" I dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain \"Your eyes have their silence...\" came his reply Further paralyzing me My sad heart gives a mighty leap The sun is setting Much like the sun a year ago Memories are a wash of lost imaginings When the night had veil\'d the pole The apparition of those faces in the crowd Waiting for the train to Boston To give whatever might chance to be The snow carefully everywhere descending Ambition called me, but I dreaded the chances I went back to him instead I ran, but it chased me, a never-ending race of which I was already tired Yet all the while I hungered for mea

Bryan by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

Bryan

She gazed at him in minor keys In reply, he sang his melodies On night, they danced upon the seas For a moment, shared their reveries And pain that brought them to their knees Their hearts, two different timpanies Beating different harmonies Different lives and memories And yet, sad eyes, like hers, she sees He made her smile and laugh with ease And though he\'ll leave, her smile agrees Their charming friendship, time will freeze Wishful thinking, her disease But he\'ll forget her, she believes The thought of her, lost in... the... breeze......

For Seth by ladyjazz, literature

Literature

For Seth

The morning arrived so quickly He ran a hot shower to take off the edge But the steam couldn\'t open his eyes The air is so cold when he heads off to work She\'s still warm and enveloped As the sunrise lights up her face In a fantastic, secure slumber Now only half a block away And the world is all around him All too real, what cannot seem to be Nodding off now and then Due to favor and sacrafice But she made it home safely again He\'ll be in her mind a few more hours In a world where alone doesn\'t exist And where the mornings are never cold If she only knew how, she\'d repay it all But the mornings arrive so quickly

Don't mind me, friends.  I just can't sleep, and what's worse is I can't bring myself to write anything constructive.   I just feel like talking, so here are some random thoughts... I just read a bunch of prompts from a fabulous online prompt calander my dear friend ~Ranna reccomended to me.  ~bfp talked about this a little with me the other day, and I realize I have the same problem he does -- I just can't write about anything happy.  With every prompt I read I immediately thought of a few sentences, once in a while a premise, but it was all kind of dark.  Then again, what's a story without conflict?  Something I can't write, that's what.

Just for Fun (just for me)

0 min read

Okay, so I'm getting MIKO published, thanks to the help and encouragement from my boyfriend.  So I thought that, for myself and the two of you out there who read it, I'd take the first sentence from every chapter and put them together.  I know it's a little world and maybe self-indulging, but it's my birthday, dammit, and I'll continue to drink my bacarde superior and do as I please!!! P:  The black skies were storming hard in the City of Joltice when Shakara awoke from her own earsplitting cries. 1:  Glenndechar will never forget the day Mikoronosha fell from the seventh floor of their apartment complex. 2:  It was raining thick and heavy
