Age - Guess.
Gender - Female
I am Lyrica. A poet, an aspiring novelist (whose novel is barely at chapter 6), an amatuer artist and a singer.
I started writing in journals when I was roughly five. They were mostly scribbly or stick-figure drawings with occasional very short entries. That lasted a while, off and on.
Then when I was eight I read Harriet The Spy, and began my own spy journal/diary.I have 11 of those, spanning 3 1/2 years. Last year I got tired of that and started an idea journal with character sheets and poems. I've got 2 1/2 of those, spanning about a year. I never did finish the last.

Two Lives - Cassia's Song
"Two lives.
Which is the true one?
I don't ask,
They don't tell."
"Drinking, drowning..
When it rains, I remember."
Ky's story, his pictures, his poems, his pleas;
He wrote them on napkins and gave them to me.
I find myself inside them; his pretty words so true,
Xander, I fear the Match to be, isn't me and you.
When you kiss me, doubt is erased, like paint on an art screen;
But with Ky, things are different; I can't say what I mean.
His words apply to both him and me,
Though we both leasd different lives;
We're torn between what's 'right', what's 'wrong';
The answer I can't scry.
The story we live is unfolding,
Piece by pain

Eyes In The Woods
Eyes are watching me,
Through the darkness of the woods.
Brown eyes
Blue eyes
Green eyes
Yellow.
Mean eyes
Kind eyes
Sad eyes
Mellow.
Sometimes they seem to speak to me.
Other times they just keep watch over me.
Sometimes they seem to threaten me,
Other times they stand guard over me.
People say I'm insane-
They say my eyes decieve me.
I try to tell what I see-
And yet they don't believe me.
My eyes of the woods are real.
I assure you of this.
If anybody ever comes to stay the night
With me,
I would show them the eyes.
But nobody ever does.
Who would want to spend the night with a crazy girl
Who could slit your thro

They are inevitable parts of life,
as are the needs to sleep and to breathe.
Birth to life,
Life to death,
A new birth.
One of the many cycles of this world.
Another is more complicated,
The cycle of the Toyko Zephyr.
Darus is gone,
Kaylin has passed the trials,
And yet the cycle starts anew.
There is new good guy,
a new bad guy.
There are new trials
a new number of chances
and new gates to pass.
Every year this has happened.
Every year this will happen.
Every year this is happening,
Even as we speak.
New Year's.

Love lies bleeding;
Devoid of all feeling;
Gone with the wind.
Darkness left behind;
One with the body and mind;
Replacing the heart.
Black moon of hatred
Writhes within.
Causes you to go mad;
To commit deadly sins.
You kill the innocent who stand in your way.
You are mad with grief,
They have to pay.
You kill still more
To fill the void
Left inside you.
But it is still not enough.
You will only be satisfied
When you have Adelheid's head
Placed on a platter before you.
For she killed your love
And your unborn child.
For that, she will die.

Raising up the ranks of the dead,
Making them walk,

My soul is now gone,
Also his to keep.
Now I have joined the ranks of the dead,
Been forced to walk around,
Fallen on my head.

To be a living dead,
A creature of the night.

Alive and rotting corpses,
Decaying as we stand.

Scars-A Short Story
Scars
Lohan can feel Shea's eyes tracing over his scars. He drops his hand from his abdomen and crosses his arms protectively around himself, bracing against the memories threatening to flood his brain. He goes back to that night, the sticky summer's eve, nine years ago, when he was just eight years of age.
Lohan is sleeping in bed, his form small under the sheets. He hears a noise, and sits up. He never was a very heavy sleeper. He quietly pushes the covers off and swings his legs over the side of the bed. His feet touch the floor, and he walks to the door, his feet making 'shhsk' sounds across the dirt floor. He presses and ear to the

I sit up. Sunlight is streaming through my window. I'm in my bedroom still dressed in my pajamas. It's a normal Saturday morning. Isn't it? Something feels off. It's the sunlight, I realize. It's making me lightheaded. I shut the heavy black curtains and the sunlight goes away. I breathe easier.
Then it all hits me. My phone, the ghost no, the vampyre boy Damien, the bite. I look in the mirror.
My eyes have turned to a reddish-blue, not purple exactly, but blue with an underlying iridescent tone of red. I open my mouth slowly, scared of what I'd see. I see what I thought I would. Slim white f

A "v" slashing
camellia sky
specks of black stark
against deep red folds:
fire & blood cradle
the flock flying
toward safe harbor.
Her bare feet hang off the edge
of a gray cliff,
her brown eyes locked
on the sunset wavering
above her;
She sits there
feeling so small
& wondering
why the heavens shimmer
like the gold-green ocean
below.
Tang of salt in her nose,
burning tears in her eyes,
water crashing ringing her ears,
auburn locks whipping around
her head
crazy halo, lost divine:
She finds solace
in beautiful chaos,
its ebb & rhythm
of life greater
than her own.
Tattered
pages caressed
with reverence; the scent
of history held in his hands; salt
and dust,
tears and
tombs, lost and found
in those forgotten tomes
only he seems to remember:
he's home.

The Battle of the Ok
We all say we are ok
It's never the truth
We want to say a million things on our mind
Instead, a pathetic, small ok suffices
We fight an inner battle
Often, defeat takes us
When are we really ever ok?
I would like to thank the person who can win the crusade
And ask him
How do you do it?

Every Quest of Surreality
Such a journey.
It could have begun like a quest.
When a child steps outside at first
And knows not that the worlds hold
A darkness in heart that grows deeper.
Then, they are thrown upon the heart.
The thing we search for at every start of quest.
Memories that are imprinted into us, and leave only the strongest standing
And slaughter the rest.
She came to purpose herself.
With ever purpose is a counter action, an enemy, an antagonist
And she feared not only it, but herself.
Destroy, destroy, destroy.
She could become the kind of destruction that saved lives.
Saved every life but her own
Sin whispered and tried to make her death.

Man, I missed some good stuff!
I guess I better go and write some poems and sketches for these contests I'm gonna enter..
I really didn't need to write this, did I?
Hey guys, it's CM. First off, sorry I forgot about the book recs. Second, I'm leaving. Not by choice. (I just restated what I said in the title. Oh well.
My mother has this great idea to go electronic-free this summer. Oh joy. So, no computer, no iPod, no Wii, TV's debatable, and CDs are allowed. Just letting y'all know, I'm not dropping off the face of the earth. Just the face of dA and anything else electronic.
This electronic-free thing stasrts tomorrow. Bye..
Yeah, this'll just be me randomly rambling on about nothing at all. You have been warned.
So, I submitted like three deviations today. It's productive in one way, and not in another. Productive for my creativity, not so productive for all the other things I could be doing. I'm entering contests left and right. I have yet to see if this totally sends me into overdrive and gets me in over my head.
Where I am, it's hot. Otherwise, I'd be outside doing something. Like catch. Or reading.
I've been ripping music for the past few days, getting ready to make some CDs. For me, this is interesting because I've never done it before.
