Downtown by scarysecret, literature

Literature

Downtown

My Father and I went for a walk today in Downtown. We had lunch in a little place called “Al Balal”. Small, and simple, it was on one of the roads branching out from the clock tower. The whole place was empty. Half of the restaurants and shops had closed since those damn tents were set up. Imagine. People who have no reason to be there. It’s not as if they don’t have houses and jobs and lives. They are not refugees. They are not poor. They are not desperate. They are just selfish. And so they set up their tents in the middle of downtown, to make nuisances of themselves. I often wish a flood would come and wash them all awa

Mandarin by scarysecret, literature

Literature

Mandarin

It’s nearly 1 a.m. I don’t seem to register the time here. I push my thumb under the skin of the fruit, and inhale as the tangy scent bursts up. The glare of the screen allows me to see through the piece I have pulled off. Orange and plump, the stringy white bits stand out like veins, creating a pretty stained glass effect. This piece, like many of the others, is pregnant with a large pip. I suck it into my mouth, crushing it against my tongue and smile as the juice floods my mouth. I picked a sweet one. I love Mandarins. Can’t seem to get enough of them. I think this is my 5th today. Ugh. I was listening to Bobby Darin, “

Literature

Random poem

Twirling, swirling, in my head, wonder if I'll make it to bed? Twisting, turning in my brain, Wonder if I'll go insane? On a mission, going fishing, gonna catch some rules; How to play the game gonna completey change my mind frame. Aching, breaking in my heart, first time you were torn apart, Do you remember? that december? Peel away shields one by one. Fun had only just begun. So many layers left on me, smothering, why can't I see?

Random bits from English Lit. by scarysecret, literature

Literature

Random bits from English Lit.

Freedom has illuminated my being. Watered my parched wastelands. Choking me, I am filled brimful. Delicious. Oh it is so sweet to be able to breathe! I can, and I can not, and who is there to stop me? I do, and I do not, and who is there to care? I stand on cliffs edge, arms outstretched and let the sea beat at me with her furious waves. They spring upwards, disintegrating, misting and splashing me with their saltiness. Frredom, to a slave, us such a dangerous thing! Almost too much to bear. Too much. I drink so fast of it, that I eventually try to take what is not mine. Stop! Breathe. Enough. Child, you betray yourself with your need. I don

We by scarysecret, literature

Literature

We

We could just sit here, and sip our tea, and talk of other things and smile politely. The distance between us is so great, and I wonder at it idly. Idly you understand. There are crumbs on your chin, that tumble into my hair when you shift your head on my shoulder. We could pay attention to the dancing disney cartoons on the screen, or the way my dog has his ears pricked and is looking in the window at you. He wants to bite you so much. We could just sit here, and sip our tea, but I'm sure you must know by now, its too late for that.

That world by scarysecret, literature

Literature

That world

It's a world where rare turquoise Tibetan teapots cost less than tesco's plain white. 2 am texts leave you happy and unable to sleep. Its a world where postage and packaging costs more than what you buy, and the rain falls so heavily that every drop beats a dent in your skull, and you are almost home when you slip in a puddle and break your neck. Computers on the fritz again, and it costs more to fix your camera than to buy a new one. The internet's at its finest, at least, so say the child pornographers, and they should know you know. Ebay rules the net, weather rules the country, and where the hell is the remote? How bored can you ge

Love is only a feeling by scarysecret, literature

Literature

Love is only a feeling

Moon outside my window makes diamonds on the sea; I lie and watch them sparkle wishing you were here with me. Would you see the diamonds? sparkling like my tears? Say the words I want to hear to calm my fears? Do you even realise things aren't how they should be. You're so oblivious The one who suffers is me. I speak and you get angry. I suggest and get "maybe". I want so much more from you Oh why can't you see? Why can't you just UNDERSTAND ME?

Contrast 7 and 9.3.06 by scarysecret, literature

Literature

Contrast 7 and 9.3.06

We walk down the Centre Ville and I hold my mothers arm as we walk. It is a sunday, and we walk among children blowing bubbles and skipping rope around the modestly small clocktower. Four main streets branch off the tower. The pale terracotta stone is brightened by the june sun, painting a picture of family and community harmony. Not forced, not falsified, just simple. My father admires the new wrought iron Italian style designes on the balconies overhead. My mother tuts that i have not looked into french classes, and we have already been here two weeks. A six year old with a toothy smile glides unsteadily past me on a barbie scooter, pursued

China Doll 14.12.04 by scarysecret, literature

Literature

China Doll 14.12.04

Never let anyone into your soul. They will call you crazy and tear you to shreds. Smile sweetly like a painted doll and be what she wants you to be, but never, ever be you. Lock away your secret soul, your secret self. Hide away. Smile like a china doll that can be no more, no less. But never be yourself. And when you shatter, daily, nightly, shatter quickly; shatter quietly; So as not to cause a fuss. So as not to make them look at you strangely. For a china doll is just a china doll, with a pretty painted smile. And you must be a china doll with yourself tucked away inside. Crack after crack in the pa

Literature

I saw 12.3.06

I saw the lizard, the chameleon, glide out from beneath the smooth stones, shiny and sleek and glistening in the sun. And I was in awe of what I saw, a beautiful sleek creature. But a chameleon is a changeable creature, it lures you in unwittingly, unconciously even, to its beauty and its affection. And it is kind to you, and it glides around you not cold blooded but warm. But a chameleon is a changeable creature, of that you may be sure, it changes on the inside just as sure as on the outside. And as it crawls back under the scraggly rocks, you are left dazed and bleeding; for the sharp scales have cut you and you never even

Light filters 5.3.06 by scarysecret, literature

Literature

Light filters 5.3.06

Light filters in from the slit in the curtains and plays on the wall opposite. Lightening and darkening making the blue wallpaper swim. Tis a numb and non existant time of day; no feeling in it, no hurt. Only the unwelcome light, unwelcome doorway into life, reality. The books sit, motionless on the shelf, something to hold onto when times are rough; constant, one of few. They cannot deny your existance, they cannot hurt you with that. The television, muffled, plays music from the past and i roll over wishing she would turn it off. Another fucking doorway to the world.

She stood behind by scarysecret, literature

Literature

She stood behind

She stood behind him staring at his hair longing to have the right to touch it. She stood behind him listening to his voice wishing it was directed at her. She stood behind him thinking of his smile wishing that she could see it now. She stood behind him suddenly ashamed, of what she had thought would cheer him up. And so it lay, collecting dust because she stood behind him instead of in front. Had he put her there?

I am starting a Masters course in one month. I need library books. I have lost my student card. Bollox. I'm slightly terrified, but I'm sure it will be alright. Attempting sort of half-heartedly to write a couple of plays, one for a friend and one thats been in my brain for over a year. Damn my procrastination! Damn it to hell I say! Had a nice break out in Spain with my family, and a few friends came over so I wasn't by myself for once.  I wish I knew who else was doing this Masters. I know one other person, well, I know who he is and I've seen him around.  I'm sure there will be people from other colleges as well. I seem to have found about

Been such a long time since I've actually written anything here. Haven't even submitted any photos, although I do have a few interesting ones.  Well, I've mostly been indulging in college, studying for exams, tea with friends etc. Haven't written a whole lot, and what I am writing, I tend to want to keep to myself. Got a car at the end of February. Started driving alone when my dad went away for the weekend and wasn't there to stop me. Have continued driving alone mostly ever since, and chauffering my parents, which I have no problem with. Spent a magical 24 hours for a one year anniversary in Glendalough at the end of April, it is an absol

hello
how are you?
hope all is well..
we are starting the first poetry standup event in Lebanon (which is very close to Def Jam Poetry) and was wondering if you would do us the honor of being a member of the event. It is not a competition, just the chance for the poet you are to be appraised. Contestants will share a percentage of the profit; so not only will you be expressing yourself but will be making money out of it too!
if you are interested/want to know more please contact us on +96171112371

thank you for your time

Hello random deviant

my slice of earth (currently Paris) is very nice, am going out for ice cream and cinema. Going back to Ireland at the end of the week, where it is pouring rain! Huzzah!

Yes, rain in the summer unfortunately is the norm in Ireland. At least you have snow in the winter though. We jsut have...more rain. And wind and freezing cold temperature.

Ice cream and Harry Potter were good I have to say

It's nice to be home though!
