Features!

Hey guys! I bet you'd enjoy this:

The first ten people to comment on this journal: I will put your avatar and the three deviations I like most in your gallery on a list. 

If you comment, you HAVE to make a journal like this and do the same thing, putting me on the first spot of the feature list.

Pretty simple! 

1. elextrified - This deviant is by far one of the most talented people on this website. Her emotions shine through her poems, and I find myself usually drawn to her darker ones, because she's very good at forcing her reader to relate to her. Good poets can bare their soul for you to see; great poets make you drown in it.
Those Eyes As Dark As MineThere is too much noise within all of these thoughts.
There are too many actions with whom I have fought.
I have found words consumed in those eyes,
those eyes were as dark as my soul.
I proclaimed that I had found my purpose,
though I still have no clear goal.
Kicking and screaming,
fighting and crying,
have I mentioned that I am slowly dying?
I beg the feelings to never come back, but
they always do.
The vanish with my heart and take these
emotions with them too.
So I tell them to go ahead and steal my soul,
as dark as those eyes but lighter than the past.
Darker than the future, where I am the last.
Turn me around so that I can finally face
those eyes as dark as mine.
I will look into them
to see the consumed words
and notice that neither of us is fine. Reflection"Have you answered all those
that sang you tunes from your past?
Or did you curse at them again for
reminding you of a place so impure?
Has the world once again turned on you?
And are you the only one who has
gone through such suffering?
You know you are not alone, though you enjoy
the bitterness that surrounds your longing for affection."
And as I say this all while looking in the mirror,
this reflection of mine will not admit the truth.
So I screamed at her to speak, like all the others
did to me.
And she sang me a song from my past.
And I despised her voice and every living moment of the tune.
It reminded me of mistakes and more mistakes,
The pain I caused all those souls.
I know I am not alone, though I know I enjoy all this.
And as my reflection in the mirror stopped singing, she stared
longingly at me.
Finally, this time, she began to scream. AlmostHe could have been ours if only we could have been more generous.
If only it were possible...
We could have saved him, whoever he was.
I'm sure he would've loved us, and we would've loved him back.
He could have had a home, for once in his life.
Dear little boy, I'm sorry that we couldn't make it.
I hope you find people who love you.
I hope you find people you love back.
You deserve it.
And again, I'm sorry, whoever you are,
Whatever your name is.
You'll grow to become a handsome guy, and you're smart, I can already tell.
You deserve to be loved, and to love.
You'll do well in school. 
You'll make friends, I know you will.
And though I don't know you, and I haven't met you, I can feel that you're out there somewhere,
Somewhere really close.
And we were so, so close to finding you.
I'm sorry it didn't happen.
But you'll make it in this treacherous world, I promise you.
I bid you well, little boy, though at this point I'm crying.
I love you.
Sincerely, your almost-sister.

2. glasses-and-blades - This deviant is incredibly skilled with both short free verse and haiku. The absolute emotion that comes from these is incredible, and always feels genuine. Check her stuff out - you won't be disappointed. Amazing work.
SleeplessBut the thought of you
always seems to dangle sleep
right before my eyes,
just out of my fingers' reach
(I'd rather sink them into your hair
but your presence has left me long ago) HeartbreakInsanity clouds my eyes
and spills from my lips
all because
I touched happiness
in its barest form.
Love. HaikuWriMo 2017 (Compilation)1.
The clouds come again;
storm cracking and shattering
this frail soul of glass
2.
The scent of Summer
-of clear rain kissing green earth-
envelopes me whole
3.
Darkness slowly falls;
the moon knocks on my window
and I greet the stars
4.
These words are acid
tearing into my numb throat-
goodbye goodbye good...
5.
You believed I had
fire coursing through my veins
-but these bones are ash
6.
Your kiss tasted of
sakura blossoms and oh,
how I long for spring
7.
The world fades to a
lavender kaleidoscope
-and I start to dream
8.
The lies bloom into
weeds that overrun my lungs
-you planted these seeds
9.
Nostalgia is a
romantic fool still hung up
on their ex - the past
10.
The Sun melts into
gold horizon and the sky
bleeds watercolours

Ice slips into my
lungs and Winter greets me with
her frostbitten kiss

I have words running
down my spine; a paper heart
-I am a poet
