Repetition by ritn, literature

Literature

Repetition

We've had this conversation before It starts with the seeds that we sow And the flowers that follow. We walked through the growth And enjoyed the light showers Lay down in the tall grass In awe of god's powers. Then came the sun And it dried up our faces It showed us our true selves In white light we faded And I asked a question That wanted an answer You looked at me blankly And then walked on faster. I tried to play catch up But the leaves were fallin' The trees showed recession And made me feel small in My shoes as I followed. Our days became shorter Our nights grew colder And I regretted my order. And then the moon s

Clarity by ritn, literature

Literature

Clarity

A swirl of thoughts comes rushing in I'm hanging from a rope worn thin I can't even attempt to begin To control all this confusion Thoughts of science, maths and art Are much harder to tell apart Inside my mind, not so smart Like glass smashed, I choose a shard And with a pen as superglue I feebly try to do What I can to make it through Adding ones to make them two But even with my helpful quill The randoms in my mind are still Starved for attention, waiting 'til The day they will get their fill.

Dear Aoife by ritn, literature

Literature

Dear Aoife

Relinquishing my utmost feelings Is not something I would usually do Though I'll do it for you Not worrying of the consequences to rue . Drawn in by your beauty Every man should be Vying for your affection. In every word you're smart and funny And independent and strong Never unhappy, you bring smiles To my face every time I think of you. And when your lovely laugh beguiles Reaching out to my ear Trying to compose myself is hard, when you're near . Clues are hidden in my rhyme On the start of every line My message leads you to a place of mine

Won't You Let Me Think? by ritn, literature

Literature

Won't You Let Me Think?

As the mist gives way to condensation My mind follows with contemplation. And as I wear and tear away My thoughts, they wear and tear away too Sometimes I see the ground in front of me But sometimes the stars shine through. I have too much to do With too little time to. And as the air around me gets thinner I put the shoe on and run with it And fear that I'm fearlessly fearless Without temperance or wit. I can be as thick as two planks At times I forget to say thanks, But as other issues cloud my mind None of it really matters This is neither time nor place As our lives fall to tatters. I don't have to speak to speak Perhap

The Question by ritn, literature

Literature

The Question

It's not fair 'Cause even when I close my eyes You're still there But in these dreams Is the only place where I have the means To portray my love For the one that seems As perfect as a dove You float in the distance Just out of reach of All normal existance But this doean't stop My dreaming and its persistance In making me drop To a state like this In which I cannot pop The question for a kiss

You Said by ritn, literature

Literature

You Said

Once I met this girl She had a perfect smile And when everybody left I thought I'd stay another while She would light lots of candles And sit in the dark And I would watch her and try Figure out how to leave my mark You said "That's mean what you said" But I just don't care anymore Once I met this girl She had long brown hair And when I was with her I'd feel lighter than air She'd solve all your problems By talking them through Even though it meant that sometimes She wouldn't tell the truth You said "That's mean what you said" But I just don't care anymore Once I met this girl She made me fall in love She even gave me

Two, Two, Two by ritn, literature

Literature

Two, Two, Two

There I go... past your house again And I wonder if there's any of you left. The once perfect personification of beauty; Have you been left bereft? Sitting as the world goes by In its slow everlasting haze, I looked for something else To take away my gaze. But always a little transfixed On that delicate sliding door; Even as I move slowly away Further and further, more and more. And with remarkable coincidence I am constantly reminded of you, Travelling on this vehicle Marked two, two, two.

Search by ritn, literature

Literature

Search

Is it real? Yes --- I do feel it. Why does it feel wrong? I do not understand. It freezes my chest, stabs at my stomach. It chokes, takes away my breath. It passes into the blood and carries itself Through my body, soul --- if I have one left. If I had One wish It would be fulfilled --- But I do not; and my centre Has no longer a centre--- It is shattered, hidden, searching. It will not find what it is looking for.

Sense by ritn, literature

Literature

Sense

As the painter's brush Flicks, on its canvas Painting exotic fruits, In a bowl or otherwise. The colours different, again, Beautiful to the eyes. Created for one, soul purpose, Fulfilment, deep inside. A musicians heartfelt sound Eminating, from the instrument Something special, to the ear. Feeling dizzy with excitement, The air about to fill With more than breath can breathe. Thoughts flairing, through the mind. Tasting, the accomplishment. Smelling, fresh beginnings.

Some Stories Never Get Told by ritn, literature

Literature

Some Stories Never Get Told

He was happy, humorous, With no feelings of regret. At least none he could remember. I wonder? Is he still as I remember him? Or has he become worse, wasted away. Dismal. It feels wrong that I can be here, But he has to be held back. At his will, I know, but still unfair. Sickening. He changed me - for the better - Somehow Because when I think of him Everything else seems so selfish. Such a good man, a hero, without any hate Should not go through this. Torment. I remember his thick, fascinating fingernails Different from any I have ever seen. Strange. That is what I remember most. Because they had a story behind them. His h

I will never forget you by ritn, literature

Literature

I will never forget you

Your pain, -- I can see in your eyes When you look at me. I can see it as you lie there Breathing slow and DEEP. You used to be full of energy When we would play together. A long time has passed And i realise I'm losing you. Soon I won't be able to look into those eyes So beautiful, brown and blessed with innocence. You will be taken from me. You won't even know until it has happened --- Until you have dropped into that last sound sleep. And I will cry for you, For all the memories that cannot continue, For the smile that made me laugh, For the fun we will no longer have. I will NEVER forget you

My Heart Bleeds by ritn, literature

Literature

My Heart Bleeds

Its raining outside - I think of you, Because, like me, you love the rain. I wonder if you're thinking of me now too, If you feel the same. You always ask me to stay And though I know I can't, I still do. My head feels so dizzy, When I think of you. When you smile, my body shivers, Like when I'm scared, only its good. My mind tries to think, But it can't, it never understood, Something so beautiful, so perfect It can't be true. And it isn't Because I'm not with you. Kiss me now, hold my hand. You won't let yourself give in. Hug me and fall asleep with me. Let your heart free, its not a sin. I could be with you forever, I

Precipitation by cranberrydreams, literature

Literature

Precipitation

he came like snow falling on snow. soft, beautiful, quiet, cold. inside my windows iced-over, light fell spattered and grey on our still, naked limbs. the breath of february mocked our together-warmth with little freezing currents that made our skin stand attention even as we slept. we found our agreement in silence; we dropped our guard when not a word was spoken. words were not our communication. ...je donnerais

Literature

Chapter Six: Lycan

Chapter Six: Moonlit Christening The next two weeks passed welcomingly peacefully. Adrian enjoyed the increasingly warm weather. He went swimming with Xavier in the river, and fished with Lawrence at the nearest lake. Jacques' favorite mare, Streamer, foaled, a rare pair of twin foals. "They'll fetch a lot, Gaston being their father!" He said happily as one foal licked his nose. "But I'd just as soon keep them." Adrian felt a cold sense of foreboding on the horizon, though. A shiver every now and then, or a sudden bout of anger. It was both disturbing yet exciting, when he found he could scale one of the tallest pines in the fore

THANK YOU

0 min read

Well! I was off in Australia for the Summer so I was taken away from easy access internet for a good while. Since I've been back I've gotten stuck into my second year in my college course so I haven't had any time to go on dA. I unfortunately have to say that I don't think I'll be contributing to this site anymore. I will of course make the occasional visit, even if it is only for a minute or two. Maybe some day I'll come back and a creative spark might see me through another stint in my life on this site? I just quit work yesterday in order to have more time to focus on my course. I worked out my finances and managed to save enough money to

Apparently I need to update my browser if I want to submit anything 'cause the one I have is too old! Ah well, I don't have time to be doin' these things! I was just throwin' something up while I had a couple of minutes spare. Gotta go to bed now because I'm up early in the morning to go into college and pass an exam (hopefully hehe). Today's one went well at least, so just three more to go :) Thanks to all of you guys... ~AMatchFor10000 (https://www.deviantart.com/amatchfor10000) :iconamenity: :iconanina: :iconaprayerforharper: :iconaquapell: :iconblanexenalb: :iconbluezjessi: :iconchaosbox678etal: :iconcreek: :iconcristosea: :iconcupidinisira: :icondeathbykittens: :iconebba:

Dublin City Council is to introduce a ban on eleven breeds of dog from properties including houses, flats and estates, with immediate effect.

The breeds are: English Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, German Shepherd (Alsatian), Doberman, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Japanese Akita, Bull Mastiff, Japanese Tosa and Bandog. Cross-breeds of these dogs or crosses of these dogs with any other breed are also banned.

Owners will be given the opportunity to rehouse the dogs but if alternative accommodation cannot be found for they will be destroyed.

"Citizens against Dog ban "

please take the time to sign the petition and read ANVIL's website for updates. This is discrimination against council tenants as well as any responsible owner of one of these breeds.
