Candy Corn Pin-Up Girl by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Candy Corn Pin-Up Girl

She floated on a sea of candy corn, a bare white chocolate sculpture in repose. A single sweet (as stale as tattooed monarchs caught in honey skin) hung on candy-apple lips, while waves of sugared sunshine burst from neck to navel, raining confit fireworks. Sometimes I want to be a girl like that, (spread naked on the page with a façade of art and whimsy pressing hard against vanilla hips and rainbow-painted eyes ) to dive into the camber of her tickled breasts—her cherry heart-inked areolas, feel every inch of my ripe figure squeezed by childish fancies—stark and lusty candy.

John and Evelina Burton by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

John and Evelina Burton

John and Evelina Burton There were canyons in his sun-dried face where peanut mud stuck to his cheeks and wore away to wrinkles. Amid a hand-tilled field of clay and faults that flowed like wasted rivers, John stood beside his wife. Her face was wilted where the earth had dried—her eyelids sagged like mossy curtains. But her stiff, peat fingers grasped his stony knuckles, his tusky, ivory fingertips, and Evelina pursed her lichened lips at the savage sun that carved them into earthen statues, trapped in Georgian mud.

My Little Umbrella by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

My Little Umbrella

In the morning: I stood beneath a vinyl mushroom plume, three feet, four inches tall— a giant under metal gills, shadowed in a leafy, windswept patch of weeds and stepped-on artichokes. By lunchtime, I perched four feet above the ground on green and blue and crimson Playskool walls. My little toes curled softly on the edge and jumped. As fingers clasped one hard, acrylic claw, the wings of a flamingo opened up (with little lacy frills) and carried me across the freckled sky —clinging like a dandelion dangling from a helium-balloon. And when we crashed into a heap of onion grass and ants and clover, it was nearly

... Auschwitz Guards by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

... Auschwitz Guards

The Good Life of the Auschwitz Guards In 1944 Karl danced, caught in a sun shower with guards in SS uniforms— pretty girls with handfuls of blueberries falling from their gun-worn fingertips into piles on the ground. Trapped inside the Bedeanstalten, children choked on poison gas that rained from cold, steel showerheads— little girls with tattooed numbers scratched across their burdened arms. An accordion wheezed behind the bath house walls— Karl’s dance of insincerity. It echoed in the prisoners’ ears— a cry of useless sacrifice. On Christmas day Karl lit white candles hanging on the branches

Dreams of a Post-War City by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Dreams of a Post-War City

Imposing monochrome “old city” homes in London-style rows with curtained glass, lean looming, spilling toward La Rue des Hommes. The Street of Men lies bare and still as gas that weeps through ancient cracks of stone and brick. A stream unfurls translucent, scentless whorls between the iron grates of sewers thick with grime. The cobblestones all glint with pearls— fair frozen tears of liquid gas and dew. Lamenting for the barren, empty street, the walls drop war gas tears upon La Rue. And here there is a soft and calming beat: Although the city’s empty, it’s alive. The buildings keep on breathing alkalin

Tightrope Dancer by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Tightrope Dancer

It's an odd sort of balancing ballerina act. Both limbs on the swaying wire trying to mold to it and rock with it. Keeping my hand steady and stiff, Poising my black ink pen, Working tirelessly at toeing that line; Careful not to fall one way or the other. Holding the metaphoric parasol. Putting on a blank façade. It's not impossible to balance a complex form on a string. It's not impossible to steady a plethora of uncertainties at the very tip of a pink and frilly umbrella. And hide anxious eyes in its comforting shade. But it's hard to keep from falling into the crowd of ink-smeared faces, Balancing so much on such

Coffee Stains by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Coffee Stains

A picture sits on my bedside table beside my tacky electric torch. The flickering of the fabric flames cast dancing shadows on your blank expression. The picture used to be crisp and sharp, its corners meticulously clean, and it used to be glossy and smooth. The dance of the orange light used to make your eyes smile. For months it has sat there and gathered dust. I spilled dark chocolate coffee on it once. The face in the picture is warped and stained now. It's mildly depressing to see that the fiery polyester blend makes your face appear beastly. It vaguely resembles someone I thought I knew once, but now, in the red-orange gl

Frankie by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Frankie

In the light of the pending dusk dancing on the old tree stump, he gave off the energy of a mischevious Roman God. His playful words echoed through the woods. But I did not hear them. His thin, defined teenaged figure stood silhouetted on its wooden pedestal, his limbs mingling with the great limbs of the towering trees, his bare chest and outstretched arms flexing cheesily as he smiled his wide, unchanging smile. Whether stained with Cherry Garcia Ice Cream, remnants of lost kisses, or bursts of laughter, his lips always part, his cheeks always scrunch in that comfortingly predictable way. ...comforting and predictable like

A Sonnet by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

A Sonnet

Surrounded by a sickly haze of white by chalky pillowcases, walls of bone, the pale-faced nurses whispering their goodnights, a pallid cell of grief. I am alone to face myself, my pain, my blood, the room without a calming thought. A quiet cry. It echoes, helpless, in the empty tomb. And here, in self-inflicted shame, I sigh. But with your hands upon my ghostly bed, your brilliant eyes made blind to broken parts, with your soft kiss bestowed upon my head, my mind forgets the pain. So swells my heart. Within a single thought of you and me does lie the cure to all my misery.

Cookie Pirates by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Cookie Pirates

A crowd of the tiniest bare feet sailed across the ocean of ice cold tile desperately seeking the undiscovered treasure hidden by a legendary pirate. Ravenous little eyes watched closely for the slightest sign of a booby trap. On the water before the crew floated a discarded pair of galoshes. Remnants of one who came before? A nervous muffled giggle. They trekked on, searched the depths of the dark mahogany coastline caves filled with noisy metal traps waiting to be tripped, climbed the great wooden cliffsides, counted their crawling steps. The leader grabbed at the great ceramic chest amid mutinous cries from the troop who wa

Feet in the Sand by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Feet in the Sand

Crouching in the surf, I close my eyes and lick my lips. Salt lingering on my tongue, clinging to my eye lashes A warm breeze blows like the clichéd whispers of a near forgotten lover. The entrancing ebbing tide entices me as the icy, soft sands dance curiously over my feet. My stomach churns unexpectedly. My heart pounds, uninvited. I dig my toes deep. And gasp. The chilled dark waters leap to spray my body with goosebumps. It tingles and trembles as I giggle and open my eyes to a glowing fair moon bathing my body and the flirting waves in tainted ivory.

Your Game by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Your Game

Tell me again, Lover, Why I come here night after night. Let myself run in dazed childish circles. Why do I let you play this game? You know as well as I. I've become addicted to the deceptive warmth of a body knotted with a corpse. Emotionless. Perfect. So here I am again, my love. Lead me in your little game of hide and seek. Hide your feelings. Hide your treachery. Seek to raze.

Masochist by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Masochist

I throw all of me at the stone before your feet, that familiar icy altar. My heart is cold... and yours. I await the torment of your indifference, your thankless lust. Seize my body. Defile me. Inhale my innocence until all I know is the sting of shards of a shattered spirit clinging to my throat. ...but want me. Want me as I let you break me, beg you to leave nothing of me. I am a masochist in your arms.

The Street Lamp by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

The Street Lamp

I walk in darkness tonight. A dampened alleyway... some twisted labyrinth, Cold. Evocative. Inescapable, it seems. My shoulder bumps the moss-eaten wall. My worn sneaker catches on the cobblestone. I stumble. My bare knees smack. My shaking hands clutch at hazy air. A misty zephyr tosses my knotted hair from my face and blows your kisses to my tear-stained cheeks, laces your soft touch around my fragile fingers. And, looking onward, a candle lights in an old lamppost burning golden in the distance outside your curtained window, guiding me where I belong.

Our Autumn by EskimoKissMe, literature

Literature

Our Autumn

A cool breeze nips at my ears. I inhale the dizzying musk of falling, decaying leaves. The smell of bittersweet afternoons when you and I were lost somewhere within each other suffocating, indulging in asphyxiation. We perched on stone garden walls, swinging our feet like children, gazing into the cool, autumnal sun, ogling the fire of colors ablaze in the trees. How incredibly fitting. The stone grew colder as we sat in the light-speckled shade. The smouldering leaves faded and fell to ashes. And I clung to them as the wind tore you away. Now, as the new seasons leaves fall I crush them in my fingertips, feel your bre

Joie de Vivre

0 min read

Man, I've been really out of the whole writing scene lately.  I'm now a music major with a concentration in voice (opera), which rocks, but it has been leaving me empty on poetry and such.  But I think I've exhausted my overlong vacation from deviant art; I'm making a point to sit down and make myself write.  Even if it's crap. So here's to a new fall.  :o)  And hopefully not crappy writing.

I feel alive without it

0 min read

I have discovered since yesterday, that while I am an overly dramatic, poet/storyteller/opera singer/actress of sorts...  Chaotic drama of the genre that makes for breaking hearts and driving people into bottles of vladimir vodka and horrible bouts of angsty poetry... is something I do not muster or generally understand.  My dramas are so much less ... well... dramatic.  Disgusting and unneccessary are also good words.  I spent my evening yesterday... and much of my day today... comforting the victims of selfish, abhorable drama.  And that's about as close as I'd like to come to this disease... I watched a boy cry.  A boy who had only ever cr
