Beauty of Mortality

Beauty of Mortality suns and moons rise and fall like men on the fields of battle in the name of love we fight we triumph and we fall i look at your face amber waves caress my thoughts dried the blood that poured from your wounds bruised your beauty shines through protruding the light is in your eyes you tame the lion within my heart roars the gods live on nothing to fear no end no master to weave thy will precious is the broken for it is so tame you’re so beautiful because you’re so frail our mortality reigns supreme again this night i cry for you fear and pain breed this emotion for love you’ll bleed a lit

The Apathy of Ambiguity

The Apathy of Ambiguity and what you know it’ll never feel like i did inside you settle down now the gallows are hanging several faces fading quick endless mercy burning me making me sick it’s hurting me i don’t want to know your name this face is burning fast and i don’t want to hear your voice these echoes won’t leave me be oh you just complain as it all falls down around me holding me down to this ground taking every little inch you can pushing me into these bloody knives how i think you are wrong and i know i’m wrong but everyone knows that nothing i do ever comes through in spite of

bleeding by darth-chunky, literature

Literature

bleeding

I sit in the corner knees hugged tightly by arms I cant feel watching with glee as my life pours from my veins My heart beats faster now seemingly as eager as I to be rid of the precious red liquid to watch it spread across the floor It pours slowly forming a little lake of my life finding all the cracks in the tiles it'll be so hard to clean I sit in the corner giggling like a maniac as I stare at my body twitching on the floor in front of me I look into my own eyes and I only see a look of hatred hatred and pain its a twisted beautiful sight Giggles turn to screams as she walks through the door I run, try to grab her,

A Cynic's Lament by virgoinvertigo, literature

Unknown soldiers by Aapaniini, literature

Literature

Unknown soldiers

In battlefield where many corpses lay Ended their war,they will not fight another day Many young face once livingly brown with empty eyes stare at the ground Their pale skin rots and stinks like hell This tale is almost too sad to tell They were caught on crossfire on some foreing land But they weren't killed by other mans hand For war is fought between nations,not between men As young and scared are we as them But nothing will bring them back from the dark Shots are shot and here we are Price of greed is young mans life Who cares of children and pregnant wife? Trench fills with blood and bodies fall in pile So they'll burn in

KISS OF DEATH by clouded-dreamer, literature

Literature

KISS OF DEATH

With you or without you I am torn, Doomed to lose either way. To live a life of bitterness, Or feel your scorn, Each and every day. If I chose death and you chose me, Where would that leave you? How could I be so selfish, Could I not even see, The pain I’d put you through? I never really got a choice at all, I would simply stumble by. Now I finally get a chance, With someone to catch my fall, And all I do is make you cry. All your words of conquering fear, And there you sit unafraid. A reminder of what once was, Put me in your tender care, Like a glorious serenade. I left myself in deaths embrace, Instead of choosing

In Their Shoes by princess-buttercup90, literature

Literature

In Their Shoes

Put yourself in their shoes This saying is no new news It helps you see their point-of-view Now you'll understand what they do It helps to know a person through & through So many different people, just like a zoo Some though understand you never should To see the world, as they possibly could The ones not right up in the head Who see the world through eyes blood red Try to put your self in their shoes Your own mind you just might lose

Warrior by princess-buttercup90, literature

Literature

Warrior

What makes a true warrior? Is it his ability to give it his all? The short, painful battles Where you can quickly fall Or the longer stretched out ones Which can transpire years on end, Taking devotion and endurance Your values you must defend You alone must make the choice Do you choose the short fight? Or do does a pitched war tickle your fancy For years stick to what you know is right

YOUR DYING BREATH by clouded-dreamer, literature

Literature

YOUR DYING BREATH

I could shower under your crying eyes. And you were ever swimming in my lies. You were by far the best I could ever get, But I just drowned you in all of my debt. You ducked under every single wave, Yet I fell short of everything you gave. I never stayed, I was always going, I bottled up yet you were overflowing. Taking water we were going under, I didn't save you, I stole your thunder. I wasn't worth the dirt under your shoe, I don't think I did a single thing for you. I pushed you, I broke you beyond repair, No matter what, you were always there. You could have had the world and more, Yet somehow it was me that you adored.

It's called life... by pixelchemist, literature

Literature

It's called life...

For every good there is a bad. For every happy there is a sad. For every up there is a down. And every smile has it's frown. For every moment can have its pause. Get the kiss or feel the claws? For every cold there is a hot. For every butterfly there is a knot. For every truth there is a lie. Some you steal, and some you buy. For every ying there is a yang. And every silence has it's bang! For every gift there is a debt. For every dare there is a bet. For every dark there is the light. Should we forgive or should we fight. For every lock there is a key. Some are blind and still can't see. For every storm there is a calm. Su

Intro - Past and Present Trenton

0 min read

Hey guys, I figured I'd show my face and give a little introductory and maybe a bit of a back brief on who I am for this new DA profile. A lot has changed in the past two years for me, for any of you who have fallowed me or are familiar with me on dravendesignnet (https://www.deviantart.com/dravendesignnet), ever since joining the Marine Corps I've been a bit of a stranger. I wanted to update my status here on DA, my life has settled down a little, things are back in scope, and I have the reigns again, so I suspect I will be around DA like I used to be, but perhaps not in the same manner as I used to be. In May of 2004, when I was a junior in High School and I joined DA, I fo

I do use it...occasionally. I check it every five months or so.

Well, shit, son. You seem to be up to a lot. A few life changing things for me as well but nothing to be discussed on the profile pages for all to see. Just getting through life day by day.

We should catch up and fill in for the last...what? three years or so?

Stay safe, my old friend.

I was in Hawaii in April for a few days. Visited Waikiki. Never had been there. Needed to get away and thought I'd try for somewhere I'd never been.

We should meet up when you come back in November. Catch up on war, the world and where the hell a few years went!

I like your photography. Commented on some. Will do more when I have time.
