O God, But Leave Me Him by walking-words, literature

Literature

O God, But Leave Me Him

O God, But Leave Me Him and Nothing More O God, when we have reached the thinnest skin of time, And there is nothing left but light and air, O God, extend Your hands and please leave him, for he is mine, Even for Your heavens, he is too fair; leave him for me: For he is too lean for Your deepest seas, He would be lost in the slip between the tides, and waves, and reeds. And he is too fine to set in Your clay or loam, He needs a grander bed than earth, He needs profounder roads to roam. Your woods and branches will not bear him, nor Your most ancient trees; My man is too broad and too tall for th

The Auditionees by walking-words, literature

Literature

The Auditionees

The Auditionees They are waiting, in their hair, Various flavours, a varietous affair. Some are clustering, sharing reassuring stories, Others standing aloof, to show off the depths of their character. They all want this. They all mind about this. More than them. And watch with mooney-eyes as the Ones Who Got In pass, On their merry way, towards some class, Devil-may-care (and they've lots of hair too.) It makes the wait-ers feel small and lank; They sink back into plastic seats and silence, Fiddle with their name stickers. The receptionist in the corner flickers. Some are waiting, outside the room, Panel is waitin

Alexander the Great by walking-words, literature

Literature

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great Golden man, my caramelised and dizzying man, Open door, vast calling hall, rain-walked, walk-warmed. I swam against you and drowned in you (fathomless immortal) Golden man, sleep-heavy, honey-thickened and I am charmed. I sank in you, but just so I could hold you up, above it all. Golden man, my devastating and lissom-limb man, Cold house, rain staining panes, cat-nested, scent-stirred. I clung too long to you and clutched at you (such steep decline) Golden man, my conqueror, day-bruised and our hearts slurred Into each other, but I will cling longer till it's wrung with shine. Golden man, my good, glorious a

The Young Ones by walking-words, literature

Literature

The Young Ones

The Young Ones This is an aging born of wanting, Full of agonised anticipation, just of waiting, For all these worth-while things I sometimes got and sometimes didn't. Uncertainty in every day, When suddenly it's all about the broad tomorrow, About what I'll Do with my whole life. Watched your faces aging slowly, Watched your smiles grow more familiar, Watched you reach the adult numbers And thought that it changed nothing, But I just missed the Fates go round the corner. This aging's born of sorrows, My own and other people's. Responsibility. Respectability. The rhymes and reasons. We shouldn't be compulsive. We should have

Trains by walking-words, literature

Literature

Trains

Trains You and I have shared so many trains, Our meetings broken into digital times. We have synchronised our hearts to timetables To ensure we overlap and tried To eke out weekends until We have run out of track And we lose track Of time altogether, And we rush to type In new numbers and dash to tap In destinations we don't want to go to Because neither yours nor mine is part of the plat- -form name, and I tangle Myself into your arms to Stave off the sound of those inevitable Trains. But tell each other while they take Away, they do always bring back again. You and I have shared so many trains; I stare out windows at my

Literature

Bits of Epic Love

Bits of Epic Love IloveyouIloveyouIloveyouIloveyouIloveyouinpaperchainsacrossaroom I l o v e y o u As broad as mountain passes, Impassable, implacable, I love you simply, slowly, never shortened, never quick. Epic love that's forged in caves From metal scooped from stars. I love you for the everyday, Morning you and ordinary you. I love you in moments; I love you in years; Hard as stone and bone and ice; Hot as hearts and hearths and suns. I love you when I love no one else, Not even myself- or you, come to that. Swore never to be swept And only let you drift beside.

Bumble by walking-words, literature

Literature

Bumble

(My Nickname is Bumble Because I Walk Into Things) Go out in the world and discover yourself; She went and discovered she's Bumble. Bumbly Bumble bumbling on, Making do, catching up And tripping over Things. When she went in search of inner calm, She found constellations of bruises And cuts on her arm (that she doesn't remember how she even got now.) She walked into Things. Through them and at them, Clipped them, capsized them, Caught them or climbed them. Bumbly Bumble and big brown bruises Losing possessions and losing people, Stepping on glass or straight into puddles. Going outside when it starts to rain, Coming inside

Bones, men and incest

0 min read

Well what a nice year. In a twisted kinda way. What has happened. a) Got into Royal Academy of Dramatic Art to study 3 years of acting b) Fallen throughlly in love with my man c) Crashed and totalled my car, breaking collarbone in process d) New play, playing Annabella in 'Tis Pity She's a Whore Aw yeah. Incest is cool. It's boiling here, hope you're all having a lovely summer or whatever season depending on your spot on the globe. ~Kaszia (https://www.deviantart.com/kaszia) :iconNiik: :iconNosseren: :iconisacg: :iconNicki-C-M: :iconCheeseWarrior:

Half way through the Gap Year

0 min read

Still living on the outside, and hey it's actually gone OK. Plays and meeting plenty of lovely people (as I think a couple of the poems might reveal) Hope you're all very well, visitors here! I won't write much, being in quite a soppy mood but lately, finished a production of the Crucible in Oxford, which was wonderful and am now embarking on a job with a theatre company and a school running and assisting drama workshops. There's nothing funnier than hearing a kid reading Romeo and Juliet's beautiful verse in this deadpan voice peppered with such gems as "Bring me a longsword. Ho." Drama school auditions going v well at the moment. Got acc

Ssh! You'll wake Reality up!

0 min read

Wow, life out in the big wide world is scaaary. However, things are going well thanks to finally getting a job for the winter, being in a play again and having upcoming drama school auditions. My friends all seem to be having a terrific time at uni now they've got over the homesickness. So lots of happy people. Have uploaded some fun poems and photos from the summer. And I have been revelling in my friends' deviations here. God, there are so many superb deviant photographers. I live in awe of you. ~Kaszia (https://www.deviantart.com/kaszia) :iconNiik: :iconNosseren: :iconisacg: :iconNicki-C-M: :iconCheeseWarrior:
