Literature

Untitled (Woes)

i think i'm forgettable a use-able person and surely my company is only a curse on the people who reach and ask me to stay the people who tell me i buoy their day it's easy to love me when i'm fixing their shit it's easy to want me (to come handle it) it's harder to want me in days full of peace it's harder to love me when hardships all cease and despite my best efforts, my cares and my woes who will bring tissues when my tears start to flow? all that i ache for is someone to stand beside me, forever hand clasped in hand all that i yearn for is someone who stays who shares all their triumphs, their hardships, their days may someday i have it, may someday they come to love me, not leave me to love all my sum

Soup

Someday I will be near to you in the cold and snow and winter someday I will be near to you wrap you in wool and in down someday I will be near to you hug you tight and pet your hair someday I will be near to you and make you soup and stew, and lasagna someday I will be near to you and treat you kindly with all my heart someday, someday I will make sure you know what love tastes like

do you ever think- by KiraJacqueline, literature

Literature

do you ever think-

do you ever think you never want to heal because within the healing all the pain becomes too real do you ever wish that you didn't have to deal because in all the dealing means you're gonna have to feel there are times I wish that I just had to sleep when I'm mired in my own mind and the depression's just too deep yes I am aware of all my failings but god willing I will find a way to stop the sky from hailing down someday I'll drink the waters calm and clear and god willing you and I and they will all of us be here someday all of these scars will have been faded til then to keep on going, living, breathing I've been fated someday I'm gonna bang a big brass drum to tell everyone around me that my kingdom's finally come someday I'm gonna sing with my whole chest until that blessed day arrives I'll try and get myself some rest one day you'll see me standing in the sun a crown of roses and a smile, untouchable, and you'll understand how I've won someday I'll nod and

This is the Year by KiraJacqueline, literature

Literature

This is the Year

This Is the year That we start to Recognize The patterns of our minds And take notes So when those patterns Begin to surface We can steer our minds To kinder ground Mindful of shoals Knowing we may yet Run aground But steering ourselves In such a way That we may not fall Into the same old doldrums Perhaps we might find new ones But we will chart those, too And count it As progress This is the year that we start anew Clinging not to how things ought to be But noticing instead The way that things are

A Renaissance by KiraJacqueline, literature

Literature

A Renaissance

the greatest peace in the world is this piece this land, mist-wreathed and quiet a silence in your heart as your good warm boots pace the chilled ground air nipping at skin but kindly, an old dog too tired to bite hard hood drawn up skirts swishing knives on belt, clanking my realm my solitude my refuge problems arise questions form and are dealt with no evil permitted here all troubles to be ousted our family, together old wood creaks underfoot rough walls made smooth years of hands like sandpaper the scent of smoke pottage cooking sweetly trampled grass like perfume to step upon those rolling fields a Renaissance of heart and soul of mind of spirit

Literature

Nox (Most Excellent Feline)

I weep to hear it, a rumbling So pleasant and sweet Your purr is the happiest of all the sounds in the world Oh, the softest touch So gray and long-haired I could stroke your fur for always Sharp yet delicate So careful with your touch Your claws are death and sheathed in kindness Your eyes are So brilliant green I catch my breath to see them gaze at me Handsome and striking So strong and refined Your face, your visage, burned into my heart Perfect, beautiful boy So kindly shaped to fit into my heart I am so lucky and you are just right I love you!

weaving by KiraJacqueline, literature

Literature

weaving

i have tried the weaving of cloth string over string strand over strand perhaps i am not soft enough, fine enough the weaving of chain, however ring into ring pliers and twisting ah, here, perhaps is my calling i fancy myself a wordsmith yet when words twist away greased and oiled how can they be caught? glints of light on the waves maille does not slip away from my grasp a bounce, at times the ping of impact it happens often; pliers and fingers fumble but a ring is easily recovered, chased down words, when they are lost vanish, smoke in wind at times they do not come at all while my fingers will to work when the right words do not desire to bless me i will join metal dreaming of pen and ink

My Bio

You can call me Kira or Jacks. :)

I'm a writer with a master's degree in creative writing (2019) and two bachelor's degrees in both creative writing and literature (2016 and 2016). I'm working on my first ever full novel and hope to put it into beta sometime soon. In addition to writing, I chiefly spend my time reading, drawing, and RPing with friends.

Writing: Prose (adventure fiction, fantasy, political drama, sci-fi, detective stories) and poetry (freeform and various structured forms as the mood strikes me)

Music: Clarinet, piano, ocarina, various percussion instruments, singing

Languages: English, German, scattered phrases in Norwegian, Italian, French, and Latin

Arts, Crafts, Creative Mediums: Photography, knitting, crocheting, chain maille weaving, leatherworking, wire-wrapping, card-making, bleach work (stencil), various other stencil media

If you recall me from previous years, you'll know that I was a Christian for a long time. I still am, but I'm a bit different these days than I was back then.

God doesn't make mistakes and He didn't start with you or with me. Hate is a choice, love is a calling.

Usually I bang out poems really, REALLY fast (can you tell? xD) but the last few weeks especially I've been so harried and rushed that I barely complete a couple of lines before I have to go do something else, and I'm lucky if I can even manage to write them down. What am I supposed to do with all of these germinating poem-bulbs? Leave them on the shelf of my mind until they disintegrate?

A brief note to please ignore the dust as I re-order and re-file a lot of my old work. Some of it may be removed, but most will be "archived" and some folders may cease to exist as I re-work some things. Also, I have a lot of poetry pent up and saved in various places from the last few months, so a lot of that will be posted and more will certainly be written and likewise added to the gallery. These things are all already in process, but I thought I should drop a little note here that you should feel free to ignore the changes as you see fit.

Hello to all! I hope the month is treating you better than the last 12. I am still engaged in taking photos (and will upload them from time to time) and in writing a lot of poetry. There's not a lot else I can say for now, but I am trying to be mindful of my art and how I can post it and I like to drop a new journal from time to time as well.
