Newest Angel by Phoenixia, literature

Literature

Newest Angel

The cool breeze from the north blew gently across the lakeside, stirring tiny ripples that disturbed the still waters. A bird cried out in the night, water gently trickled over the edge of a rock outcrop, and a splash was heard as a fish leapt out of the clear blue lake. The soft sounds of the night surrounded the tiny lake, all but lost in the depths of the great surrounding forest. Stars filled the dark sky like a thousand diamonds, twinkling amidst the deep black heavens. And the large full moon illuminated everything with its gentle silver glow, creating a world almost like a fantasy. The water of the lake sparkled in joy, and the leaves

Shattered Crystal

Glistening in the air A shining object A star? No, a crystal shape. What is it? It is a heart. It spins, floating in the darkness And then… It falls. Slowly at first it tumbles, then faster Faster. Speeding through the night Plummeting to the ground And then… It hits. Silver shards fly everywhere The ground glitters in the moonlight A shard flies into a hand It pricks It bleeds. But no notice. The crimson blood falls to the ground The crystal is red Red of fire, red of passion But it is too late. The person passes by And the crystal shards are washed away. And then, silence.

Cup Of Coffee

You told me you don't love me Over a cup of coffee And I just have to look away "I'm sorry, but…" I knew what you were going to say before you even opened your mouth. I could see it in your eyes, those beautiful blue orbs that had once been filled with love for me, and now were closed and empty. I knew that things had been bad for the past while, but somehow I still thought that there was a chance. Some way that we could work it out, regain what we once had. As you said those fatal words I couldn't look you in the eyes. With those four simple words, you had destroyed the sole reason for my life, and it was all I could do to hold back t

A Rainwashed Country

The love of sunburnt deserts, of drought and flooding rains, Of opal seas and forests, is running in your veins. Strong love of reddened sand and animals galore I know but cannot share it, for I love my land more... I love a rainwashed country, a land of mountains high, Of emerald coloured forests, beneath a deep blue sky. I love her wild young beauty, her golden bordered sea, Her beauty and her terror, this wide green land for me. The gently rolling hillsides, adorned with blossoms rare, The calling of a kea, the tuis in the air, The diving of the dolphins in water deep and cool, The silver ferns and kowhai's, the light-re

Why? by Phoenixia, literature

Why?

She's upset again You can see it in her eyes You want to talk, Help, Smile, Tell her it'll be alright. But it won't. You're sorry. How do you tell her? How do you help? You can't understand. You're you. She's her. You're different. No one is the same How do you understand another's pain? How do you show you care? You try your best Comfort, Hug, Promise you're there. She doesn't hear. How can you help when you don't understand? She doesn't talk Lost in her tears. You can't break through. He hurts inside There's pain in his life. Sorrow. Hurt. Fear. We all hurt! He never tells. He hides... They all do... So

I'll be there by Phoenixia, literature

Literature

I'll be there

When the nights are dark and lonely And you feel like no one cares When you hate the burden of your life And fear the coming years When you cry at the deeds of others And no one notices your pain When you want to end your existence Stop living this life in vain When you think you are a failure Know no reason to survive When you want to hide in a corner To lay down your load and die Just remember I'll always love you I always will be there I'll cry for you when you are sad And when you win, I'll cheer I'll watch for you when things go wrong And notice when it hurts I'll pick you up when you fall down And land right in the di

Faerie's Fall by Phoenixia, literature

Literature

Faerie's Fall

The stream did glisten 'neath the sun And all about the trees Did sparkle; oh! The day was young, And life was in the breeze. The crimson leaves did shimmer, and The birds did joyous sing. And bliss lay deep upon the land Of Maeve, the faerie queen. Within the aged wood did grow A bower, dark and deep. And thence a faerie child could go And watch the maiden sleep. With molten moonlight for her hair, On cloth of purest white, Oh! Never had one been so fair As Maeve, the Queen of Light. And all in innocence she lay All free of care or strife; The greatest treasure of the fae Knew none would take her life. Yet, guard your bow

Fathersbane

0 min read

For those who don't know, I did NaNoWriMo this year, working on an original story of mine known as Fathersbane. However, what with one thing and another in late november/december, I never found the time to finish it. As one of my New Years Resolutions (so far as I have them) was to finish this story, the other night I reread the 50k I had written so far, to get in the mood to write more. I plan on it being a 150-200k story in the end, which makes it about 350-500 pages long, though I'd be fine with a 250-page one if i said everything. Now, don't get me wrong - it's a perfectly decent little story. It's just not, by any means, of publishing s

Firefly

0 min read

I now have a new obsession: Firefly Having watched all fourteen episodes over the past week, followed by the movie serenity last night, I find myself with simply no words to describe how wonderful this is. Every character, every actor, every set and plot idea, all those fantastic quotes... this is the best show i have encountered in a long, long time. Yes, I love this show more than I love House or NCIS, which is saying a great deal to those who know me. Firefly has... well, I shan't spoilt it for you. But it has something that most scifi programs lack, and that is REALISM. Though it is set in the future, and we have spaceships, humanity i

Yeah...

0 min read

Not much to say except that: a) I REALLY should be studying, and b) I really like Robert Jordan. Damnit. But I thought I'd take a moment to share a little bit of description that popped into my head the other day. I was thinking of writing a winter scene, and i was mentally saying "The white snow blanketed the buildings" or something like that, when i got annoyed at how cliched the phrase was. Instead, I came up with: "It was wintertime, and the snow lay on road and rooftop like a blank sheet of paper, waiting for someone to make their mark. Waiting to be brought to life." What do you think?

Hi,
I was googling the phrase you have in your signature- 'the things we do for love, those things endure'- because it was floating around in my head and i was sure it was a quote from somewhere, but couldn't remember where. I'm going crazy trying to remember the source, so since you seem to be just about the only person on the internet who's heard it i thought i'd pop in and ask! Do you know where the quote comes from? tell me i'm not going crazy.
-by the way- i love 'golden moment!' and it's always nice to see a fellow NaNo-er...
thanks,
-atthis

Hi there,

I actually learnt that quote from a fanfiction I read a long long time ago (The Draco trilogy by Cassandra Clare in the Harry Potter fandom, to be precise), but as the author was notorious for stealing quotes from all different sources it may be from somewhere else originally. I've always liked it, though, stuck with me long after the fanfic did.

I'm glad you like Golden Moment. Sadly, although i did NaNo once (2005) and loved it, I haven't really done much writing since then. Doesn't help that november happens to be exam season down here, but I find I don't have enough time to write much anymore, very sad.

Nice to meet you, though. You have no deviations yet? What do you NaNo?
