... cuts 'n' kisses ...
After the cut, the kiss they say
To me, you're that kiss -
The kiss that makes everything better,
The kiss that makes life worth living again,
The kiss that brings the smile back to my eyes,
The kiss that makes me happy in spite of everything.
For all this and much more
You will always have a special place in my heart –
Deep inside hidden from the world,
A treasured memory.
֍֍֍
After the kiss, the cut they withhold
To me, you're that cut -
Deeper, more painful, agonizing, unwilling to heal,
Always there - worse than ever
֍֍֍
But despite all, I wish you'd find your kiss -
And who knows, maybe...one

Away
I wished my life away
To obtain something I have lost.
I spoke with melancholy
To keep you pushed away.
I never wanted you to go away.
Today you still stand by my side.
You keep me in your thoughts
To keep me from fading away.

I'll Wait For The Seasons
Blossoms flutter
For a season beyond the pallid gale.
Come breathe with me;
May our senses dance, 'til our hearts turn pale.
There'll be passion
In the sun's kiss before it bids farewell
I reminisce
Over its sweet warmth, when the auburn fell.
Reassure me;
Despite the seasons, the moon will glow:
A reminder
In the darkness and doubt, there'll shine my beau.
Winter arrives;
The bloom I once cherished have now grown cold.
I am broken.
Deforest my love; it fates to be old.
Yet I'll wait for the seasons to welcome again.
Forgive me, for the petals cleanse my own disdain.

Fishing with Laughter
Haters hate,
Lovers love,
Joy comes to those who wait,
And sadness can be overcome,
When laughter's used as bait.

Mutual Understanding
Accept also those who do not suit you.
Be there for each other.
Trust in that everything will go well.
Discover what is important and let off the unimportant.
Begin new, even if you failed yesterday.
Offer help for carrying to those who need your help.

It’s like I’m trapped within a cage
The synchronized turning of every page
Being forced to stand on a stage
These people all fill me with rage
“I could easily destroy this place
To find me they would have to chase
I could turn the walls into rubble-”
OH SH-! They heard me! Now I’m in trouble!
The class writing about a book we read
As another part of my soul drops dead
But I’m too distracted by the clocks tick
“Mum I can’t go today, I’m sick…
Cough, cough.”

How to Improve Your Writing
How to improve your writing
In 2013 I wrote an article called How to get more views on your Literature. I wanted to give actual practical advice from people who know, writers established in the DA lit community.The article was (and still is) very popular and seems to have helped a lot of folks so I decided to tackle a different (but way more important question)... how can we make our writing the best it can be?
Because it's great to show work to your friends but self improvement, or working towards a goal (for a lot of us that's a writing career, a novel, publication, competitions etc) is a whole different thing. So I asked some of DA's fin
