Literature

That special someone - The one far away

There's that special someone Who puts a smile on your face In a matter of a flash When a single thought of them Crosses your mind. That someone you love Since you open your eyes Early in the morning And into your dreams at night. That someone you call When good news arrive And after a hectic day A "hey... " tells you Everything will be alright That special someone The one you hold so close So, so dear in your heart Because they are half the earth away...

Here I touch your archetype by tranche-de-vie, literature

Literature

Here I touch your archetype

Mother Fairy took fifty children to the mountain Father Dragon took fifty children to the ocean "Dong bao" is what we call each other We believe our ancestors were born from the same womb Here I am thousands of miles from home I've met a Cherokee, seen the Statue of Liberty, tasted Vermont Cheddar Cheese I've held the soil of the Grand Canyon, leaned against the red bricks of Boston, learned to say "better" like an American. Here I feel the Gihon River running through my fingers Here I touch your archetype Would you like to touch mine?

Truth by tranche-de-vie, literature

Literature

Truth

You can touch my body But you can never touch my soul You can even take my life But you can never see me cry You can destroy my village But you can never destroy my roots You can burn my body But you can never burn the truth When he touches my tombstone He will touch my soul When he wishes it had been his life Next to him my ghost will cry When he rebuilds our houses He will retrace our roots When at night his body trembles He will discover the truth.

It could be... by tranche-de-vie, literature

Literature

It could be...

It could be sunset It could be sunrise One could be so loved One could be so blind Just how can you tell apart Love and another heartbreak's disguise? It could be a light It could be a train At the tunnel's end Sorrows will remain What other choices do you have? Stand in the dark or escape while you can It could be paradise It could be misery Your heart may never lie But your mind wants to be free Just how can I put into words? The way I'm falling wholeheartedly Well, How about... This heart sure has loved and been hurt before But with everything it has got, it is now completely ...yours.

Italic Thoughts by unchartered, literature

Literature

Italic Thoughts

She stands at the tail-end of the platform. In the middle of the week, a state of limbo, neither here nor there. That's her face too. Neither open nor close, it's what you get from everyone at 8am in the morning rush. But hers had a lil something more. He would call it the kajal-smeared eyes that highlighted the whites of her pupils and coals of her iris. They sparkled. Or her hair pulled back in a nun's bun, but looking more like a child hiding in the folds of her 3-sizes too large kurta. How did she not care how she looked? It wasn't lack of money, judging by the cheap-looking boho bag that belied it's $50 price tag. It's not a lot, but y

My Bio

I was trained to be a media professional in college, graduated with a BA in Mass Communications. Work life has been taking me along the marketing line of work so far, and I've tried to focus on media/communication, my true passion. At the moment do consulting work and teaching, a couple of translation and writing projects whenever I can squeeze in my schedule. I joined DeviantART in 2007 to share my photography and poetry work. I love to explore the interactions between different forms of art. A few of my poems were published in Vietnam in June 2011. Poetry and photography are my two primary creative outlets for artistic expressions. Sometimes one inspires another. I hope you enjoy my gallery. Cheerz!
