am i enough to lure him in?

can i be the siren you see as a lost sailor at sea?

i’ll make you need me. i’ll rip your heart out and make you fall apart

i see the shallow sands of a man

and i call his name till he follows in

till he’s far from land, far from his men

and when he sees the monster i am, it’ll be too late, for he knows his inevitable fate.

Oh, how I long for you every day,

Wish that I might, that I may,

Hold you, simply hold you through the night,

Kiss away the terrors when you you become still with fright,

And care for you, and be cared for in return,

Those night I will remember when, for enternity, I burn,

Simply for the sin of wishing to hold,

But those night will be worth the soul I sold.

This is absolutely beautiful! I honestly didn't expect anyone to do it and I have no idea who did it but this made my day. If you reveal yourself in the comments I'd love to give you credit!

You Said Forever and I Believed You

Imagine a flower

A field of grass with one lonely flower

It blooms and is beautiful

But it never has anyone to share it with but the sun

But the Sun has other flowers to admire

The flower begins to wilt and there in the dirt

Comes up a seed to a sprout to a sapling

And eventually to a blooming flower

The flowers are content

They laugh

They smile

They cry

They wilt

We were friends through thick and thin

I followed you and loved you with a ferocity like no other

You loved me

But not the same

You told me forever

And I believed it

They came along and stole you away

They came and you left me for something "better"

For someone "your age"

They hurt you and here I was

I hugged you and said you didn't deserve it

When I didn't deserve it either

Then everything was okay

Then a different they came

They came and you fell

They came and you fell hard

You wouldn't stop talking for days

Any word I said quickly drowned away by more obsession

So I shut up

And you didn't even

Care

Notice

I was nothing

You made me feel like nothing

I was second place after a decade of friendship

I was second place after the tears and stories

The secrets I harbor close to my chest are poison

I know everything but my loyalty groomed from such a young age

Won't allow me to deny them

I can't leave you so I'm waiting for you to leave

As you inevitably do

It is my destiny to be left behind

Abandoned

It is my fate to care

It is my fate to not be cared about

This flower is wilting

This flower is dying

And you can't even see it from your looming petals

You block the sun from seeing me

I can't grow beyond you

Unless you leave

Leave me

You promised Forever

And I believed it

But I can't last Forever

love is rising

rivers are flowing

sun is setting,

come in to the dark with me.

don’t resist me

feel it all

follow the call

the beats of our hearts

the defeats of our past screaming

but we ignore them

to look ahead

for better days

for better ways to live and love

to find the clouds and rise above.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

#dinosaur #evolution #comic #prehistoric #animal #wildlife #paleontology #biology #poetry #comics #original #my art #archaeopteryx has no direct living descendants i know #but i wanted something aerial and the dinosaur to bird connection is classic and well known anyway #also the chicken over any other bird is very on purpose #its the mix of truth and comedy and genuineness and the fantastic in the mundane #its me asking you to see something so wonderful in something taken so un-seriously #and to love it both ways #also the jurassic park thing #where someone saw the reconstructed gait of a dino #and said. hey hang on. i know that walk. #and pulled up footage of a chicken walking #which jumpstarted the entire study into the link between dinosaurs and birds #in the end take whatever you want from it i just thought id provide some insight #i always like it when other artists do #the point is that i enjoy when people laugh at the end and when they dont #and i like it when they cry. i like it best when they both laugh and cry. eeaao intent #anyway mourn your losses but to live is to change #also hi guys i finally figured out tipping after 5 months so no more annoying ko-fi link

I enjoy the colors of the world

But not the vibrant reds and blues that come to mind

Not the sheer pearly whites and abyss swallowing blacks

Not even the brightest orange of the sunset

Nor the greens of summer and pinks of tulips fresh in bloom

The colors I enjoy are hidden

The dullest Grey of a cloudy sky

And the saddened blue that follows it

The crimson and vermillion of the dying embers in a forest fire long dead

The crying yellow of the leaves as they fall

The brittle brown that decays every living thing

But I especially love the dark violets that decorate the clouds as night rolls to take its throne in the sky

I like the dark sea navy that holds the secrets no one dares find the key to

The rotten wood in the forest as fog like cashmere rolls over

These are the colors I love

These are the colors of poetry

The hidden details only us writers of the divine can see

Underneath it all we see them

We see you

And we love you
