'those swings in the park..'‘those swings in the park have withered like old trees’
----that was what you said. that was the last thing you said. you looked at your feet, your shoes tracing along the lines of old, dried paint on my doorstep. I said :
‘I know. I remember when we moved here-
I remember thinking
the same thing.’
In the street, a car passed-by- a second of light perpetuated the red in your eyes, the terraces of unease in your cheek. and then I closed the door.
/
you got into your car and crashed it at the end of holloway road.
I remember listening to you start the engine.
I remember holding my head under the leak
in my ceiling. and
dusting the water into my
scalp.

A childhood's dreamE os olhos da lua caem sobre mim
Um brilho frio
Um toque como nunca senti
Não consigo me mexer
Não quero me mexer
Apenas ficar aqui
Nessas caricias tão singelas
Se meus olhos
E seus olhos
Puderem ao menos uma vez
Se encontrar
Serei feliz
Sorrirei como nunca sorri
Inocente e cálido
Somente por você
Gostaria de ficar
De não ter de partir
Aninhado entre seus braços
Sinto um jubilo sem palavras
Uma vontade de não ser criança
E não ter de pedir
Apenas tomá-la e desejá-la
Com a seriedade com que brinco
Apenas em você me sinto assim
Tão louco, tão certo
Tão decidido a viver
Não vejo o mundo além de seus olhos
Não sinto o mundo além de seu toque
Não preciso de mais nada
Não quero coisa outra
Senão seu sorriso e suspiro
Uma ou outra palavra me vem à mente
Transcorrem por meu sangue
Bombeadas pelo meu coração
Transportadas ao ar de meu pulmão
E se perdem sem sent

I Swear By My -Blank- Hand...The little girl stared at her pencil. Then she looked around. The other students were writing.
"Why is it so hard for me and so easy for them?" she wondered, taking the pencil in her hand. With all her might, she tried to write at least one correct letter on the paper, but failed. Her handwriting was messy and ugly. Frustration swirled in her head. "What am I doing wrong?"
Once again she looked around. Her classmates were doing just fine. Their letters were neat and decorative. How beautiful. But hers- how could hers be so hideous? Were her fingers too stubby? Wasn't she holding the pencil correctly?
She sighed and stared again at the paper. The letters looked like doodles instead of words. She tried again. No such luck. Again. Nothing new happened. And again. Same old story.
She wanted to cry. But she couldn't at a time like that.
"Maybe if I…" she started, then switched the pencil to her other hand and tried again. Very slowly, she tried to write A, B, C…
Success! She realized how go

True IntentionsTrue Intentions
There are times when I feel that love I felt for you. There are places that remind me of where I've been with you. There are thoughts that consume me in the hatred I feel for you now. All I hear in my mind is 'excuses', your favorite thing to give me. Even as I feel the burn of alcohol ease it's way down my throat, it changes nothing. The pain never subsides. My heart didn't break of my time wasted with you. But my mind shattered, forgetting the meaning of sanity. You can question this as much as you want, but you'll never understand why. I believed you to be perfect, but even I knew there was no such thing. Judgment came crashing down on me like a thousand shards of ice. My mind saw you as amazing, but when it came to see what you truly were, morals faded into a faint distance of nothing.
And what are you to me? You are that pang of pain I feel when I fall of my own doing. You are the scar remaining, refusing to let go. You are that memory I will always r

Okay, here goes...
Many comments have been made, many people have hauled off and jumped and are now wondering what is really going on, many tears have been cried (at least by me cuz y'all--y'all are mean. Enough said about that, it doesn't matter. I wish everyone all of the best and more.
I would like to take a few minutes to say two things:
1) Many have come through DLD and been better in this literature community for it. Dedication and hard work helped forward their already progressing talent. Not me, not Will, not Lili or any other running administrator--just dedication and hard work. We have present and former hats, badges and most of all the owners of co
Will's Final Words
Final Words
It is with a hesitant mind and a bloated heart that I write this. DailyLitDeviations (https://www.deviantart.com/dailylitdeviations) was something that was formed out of frustration and anger. I suppose I am not surprised to see it go out that way. A young man named Brandon and I were complaining in a private chat room about how little literature was featured on dA and that we were tired of it. We both wrote several emails to the staff only to be ignored like so many quality artists out there. Eventually we knew that we had to do something or explode from frustration. And so DLD was born. I stayed up for 5 or 7 days straight. My wife hated me and my phone bill went throug
New Information...
It seems that all of you in need of seeing this tradition go on can be satisfied. I would direct you to the account of TheseKrimzonFlames (https://www.deviantart.com/thesekrimzonflames) where you will find links to a new account where his version of DLD will go on in a new and different form.
I am awaiting a journal entry from VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart) to post here with his thoughts on our closing of this particular project. It will be posted soonest.
Few know of my own love and time put into this project because few worked night and day alongside me to take care of everything possible from general administration duties to contests, to answering 100s of messages a day and soliciting everywhere p
Everyone, please hold on...
Please be advised that we are in the process of deciding what and how to do with this account by way of moving on--by "we" I mean myself, VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart), and various seniors/members that are interested in sticking with something DLD or DLD-like. Everyone's responses are being taken into consideration--even the personal attacks made on me are valued opinions. This account owns a number of points and I am considering doling them out to a group of people who would like to start-up a new group in the same vein. A group of people who are concerned with the work of the literature community and not the kudos that go with serving the community. I ha
