my lighthouse by askdafl, literature

Literature

my lighthouse

You, you are the lighthouse My lighthouse You do as you always do As they all do You are only you But I found you first And look how bright your beacon was You caught me I was drowning, thinking I could breathe 'Cause I'd grown used to the dark Home alone - alone was home But a moth I became And you brought the dawn And I broke the surface Look how bright your beacon was My very own lighthouse You found me first

caged bird

Dazed and confused How did she get here? When was it, exactly? All of a sudden Her vision is barred To her right: Towers of bark and skies of rustling green; Rustling from the wind; The wind she should be sharing Her left: Acres of emerald seas Spotted with ships of petals Fading into the cerulean and cotton skies Scents of the ocean waft from behind Racing with sounds of seagulls and fishermen; Laughing, baiting, living But her vision is barred. Her heart beats in time with her wings, But she flies in place. So she sings, defeated, until her lungs will swell no more. Perhaps, she hopes, the echo will carry to someone ho

Literature

the sparrow and the goldfish

She plans her flight by morning light. The sun greets her so sweetly. And glinting from the ocean blue, his colors and fins shone through. The current paints his path past her perch. Her singing stops when water drops come flying through the air. This pure, young bird, without a word, she begins to stare. A fluttering starts from within her heart. She knows something's wrong. But his scales all glow from far below, and she watches him 'til the night. And the sparrow, she fell in love with the goldfish. Her wings carry her to the shoreline. Her hope comes and goes with the ebb and the flow. She sings her song loud, and she prays th

{Hello, everyone, and welcome to my dA!} ♥

{First off, I am incredibly grateful for whatever support you may give me, be it a watch, favorites, or comments. It all means very much to me. Unfortunately, I haven't the time to thank all of you individually.}

{You may know me as Tailei from my previous account, or askdafl from other websites. I have no real preference for what I like to be called, so any of these is fine; or perhaps even something new!}

{I am a young person with much aspiration in life. The problem is, I don't exactly know where to direct that aspiration. My mind has changed so many times throughout the course of my life that I honestly haven't a clue of where I'm going next. Lately, though, I've begun to lean in a direction towards that of the arts; specifically acting. Whatever I decide though, I do know that I will continue my drawings, photography, and writing-- I am currently working on over half a dozen novels, not including made-for-online stories.

The bad thing is, I've little time to actually work on writing the durned things! _{Not to mention that nagging procrastination bug...}}

{I'm someone who believes in equality among all living things. I'm a proud vegetarian and earth-lover. I have no personal bias towards any race, sexual orientation, or religion. I believe everyone is beautiful and perfect in their own way. I believe that in truly true love, be it between friends or significant others, no distance, gender, religion, or age means a thing.}

{I'm one of those ridiculously shy people that doesn't become loud and outgoing until you get to know her. Even then, I may not always find something to say. But I'm an excellent listener, and I will never grow tired of letting people, be they friend or family or stranger, vent to me.}

{I think that covers the basics! And if not, then that's all the more you get to learn by speaking to me. I really do love meeting new people, so please don't be shy at all! Drop me a comment or a note sometime, and we can chat. ♥}

Devious Journal Entry

Hey, everyone! c: It's too bad I left off on such a sour note with my last journal, and it's too bad I don't update more often. xD;; But I've got some good news! First off, I'll be getting my old keyboard back that I gave away to my niece however-many years ago.  I never used it really, so my mom thought I should get rid of it, so I did.  But lately {for quite some time, actually} I've been dying to learn to play some kind of instrument because of my writing songs and stuff, and I really wanted to actually put some music to them, and I've wanted to do a bunch of covers too.  Then I remembered that keyboard, and I knew my niece hadn't been us

This is probably going to end up more of a vent than an update, so if you don't want to read I won't be offended or anything. Also, no random fact or quote.  I've honestly gotten tired of searching and posting those.  I mean, it's not that I don't like them, I LOVE them, but it's just tiresome to search and post, along with my links. jaklgewioajsdk Sorry. And that's not the only thing I don't feel like doing.  Lately, I haven't felt like doing much of anything.  Particularly in my artwork, which is the one thing I've been dying to get back into.  But I don't have any motivation or inspiration, and my mind is more or less just in this gray a
