The next time I think of you
I want it to be brief,
the kind of contemplation
a child gives the small brown leaf
smuggled indoors under his boot;
a momentary blur of syllables
before he discards it in the trash.
As it is now,
I see far too clearly each brittle vein
crinkling fine lines that stretch onward,
finally veering away from wretched pain and rage,
yet with no certain path.
My memories of you
are like fallen leaves,
composting sentiments and insights quietly
into fertile ground for life.

Author's CommentsDaily DeviationGiven 2005-11-15We've all been there, haven't we? When the memory of a person makes us wish we hadn't thought of him or her and we vow not to do it again. That's what Fallen Leaves by *soul-lozenge is about, and the changing of seasons that occurs afterwards; the hopeful autumn to a rotten love's summer.

 reports, 1d 12h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

It's times like these that I wish I could set people on fire with my mind.
the kind of contemplation
a child gives the small brown leaf
smuggled indoors under his boot;
You wrote a wonderful piece.

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again

Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like "struggle." To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now--and to go on caring even through times that may bring us pain." - Fred Roger
