Indigo Sunset

Indigo Sunset By Claudie Muchindu The moonlight crept into the large warm room, landing on a bare foot that had escaped from a vibrant red and brown quilt. The foot belonged to Noora Kim, she was sprawled across a couch that was not designed to be slept in but was not necessarily uncomfortable. She had fallen asleep trying to read a copy of an 18th century Portuguese poem written by a traveller to ancient China which now lay on the floor. Her plan was to translate it and then make her way to bed but she soon found that it made no sense to her. The notes on this copy of the poem had Arabic notes and she only had a basic level of spoken Ara

Hunger by mwiings, literature

Hunger

Battered tears, shed not here, Dreams hold answers I shall refuse to wake. Hot palms run courses Sweat yearns to leave. I’ll guide you on a journey Only, if you let me lead Take my hand Lay it to rest, put it…here Rivers shall run, for floodgates You have opened Perfumes come in bottles but Tonight we create a new scent. What’s yours and mine will cease to be. What will be shall bring a new eternity. Lay your lips on unmarked skin, One day a virgin shall be no more. Today we lay and stars shall dance, Heaven shall weep for the beauty we create I’ll make love to you tonight. Wrap me in arms strong enoug

Mind games

Thinking I could play, no manual in hand I rolled my die and watched them land Honesty they proclaimed, no truths shall be hidden Discretion, they whispered, no truths you shared Convinced I was of seeing what only the blind can affirm I let my heart fly, not knowing if I had enough room to land Its not a virgin flight, I know this journey I’ve made it once. I cannot love in moderation Shy away not from my loose tongue I’ll spell the words I refuse to write Love has impaled me and I need it to run its course Yet I cannot sit in the shade of a seed Planted only yesterday I have waited for you before I’ll wait for

Remember by mwiings, literature

Literature

Remember

Shrouded not in mists of darkness, Slumbering continent; Awaken! Stooped in history, crippled by it not. Seeking, an identity, forged by the self. To the North, Imam’s advise, heal and guide Bishops and Father’s dole solace to the South No longer unchartered, but untamed still. Divided by a past, not yet re-written Unavoidable, unpleasant, time’s reminders still loom Having scarred no more bodies, Those who bled have long been dead; The rot of the mind all that remains. Divisions long held are oft hard to shed. To accept borders not drawn by one’s own hand, Led to believe ‘truth’ deigned by others,

Secret Senses

I wept a forest of lonely trees Hidden in gloves of sinful desires I’m searching for a vision Yet I have not seen Your words make me promises Only I ever hear My secrets beat a tune My heart alone shall ever know Our touch will never meet For your skin is not mine to claim Another warms your bed While broken dreams scatter my pillow I stand in air you leave behind Grasping to keep a scent I can call mine Deny me it all and never grant a wish Unaware you have me on a leash Your taste I’ll never know The tags on your hands hare not my name I cannot take what has not been given I’ll whisper my words For your ea

Jacket Pocket by mwiings, literature

Jacket Pocket

I hid a story in my jacket pocket It had a maid and a maiden and 3 roses not yet in bloom My goblet spilt over in 7 random truths Encircled in the profanity of our union I’ll find 2 hearts bleeding 1 Heaven has told no lies, my lips have not moved We imagine what we will for the light comes with shadows Stagnant pools shelter no dreams Hear my whispers of troubled synergies The meek shall inherit what proud leave behind Man shall lay asunder all Good puts to rest Remind you yet of a story in my pocket For I lost it all Through a hole I forgot to stitch

Giving Birth to Natti by mwiings, literature

Literature

Giving Birth to Natti

Natti’s Waking Natti had a secret she never could share When the moon winked though her curtains A snake would crawl into her bed A snake with rough hands and skin wrapped in sweat A long thick tongue danced with blunt teeth in a pit of spit Into her skin the medley would go They’d always mark their trail But his lips would always insist ‘This is nothing but a game’ Above his snake hands, sat broad shoulders For this snake was built as solidly as a wall When the moon shone and liquor warmed his heart He’d come in to play His tongue wove tales of love and devotion His eyes refused to see the abundance of

Numbers by mwiings, literature

Literature

Numbers

Twice I called to say words I know you never want to hear. Twice you answered And my tongue, Tied with regret Could say nothing Of the love I have lost for you. I gave more Than I was willing to give I shared Less than you wanted The weight bore down And soon I forgot how to breathe You gave more Than you should In my currency It wasn’t enough My heart was never yours Yet I hold yours when I never asked for it.

Sex and Meat

I have a gift I’d like to share. Its my ability to tell a story. To weave a tale you and I can share. I have one I would like to share with you if you’ll let me. It’s a tale of Bill and Kyla. It isn’t a love story, it’s a life story. A short life story. This tale is not as boring as your own existence, I assure you. Bill and Kyla are as East and West but go together as sweet and sour. They have found what we all hope we can catch, if only for a moment. I guess I should tell you of how they met. The details aren’t that important. What is though is that she picked him. She chose him before he even knew he could be

Peaches and Apples

She is as good as he has allowed her to be. There’s nothing I can add to make this a beautiful romantic tale full of magic and good defeating evil, neither is this a delightful discourse on the nature of man versus the nurture of woman. This is story less than that. I have a story to share. It’s a less than charming tale of a peach and an apple that grew in orchard and somehow got entwined. Shall I tell you about the peach first? He is and will always be the only entity that has the power to bring her to less than she is and she has willingly given that power to him. I cannot say whether she had a choice or not but that’s ofte

Royal Families Story Contest: Deadline Extended by ThornyEnglishRose, journal

Royal Families Story Contest: Deadline Extended

Aug 7, 2012

In June 2012, Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, along with many of her subjects. Some looked upon the event with disdain, while others treated it with complete indifference. Kings and queens have existed in this world for centuries, sometimes loved, sometimes hated, often controversial but always fascinating. The stories of royal families - whether real, fictional or a mix of the two - are enduring and plentiful. Think of Henry VIII and his six wives; the mystery of the Russian Princess Anastasia; the legends of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table; the princes and princesses battling evil queens in fairytales and

As The Pages Turn

0 min read

Hello World! I am working on being more productive offline and so far I do have my first fantasy novel (first fantasy anything really, always thought of myself as a "literary" writer) plotted out, (another first coz I usually just work by inspiration) but actually writing it out is ....an experience. Events not in the plot come up and feel like they belong so I leave them in and I wonder how long the editing process will be... and due to certain themes I am not sure it will be YA when I am done... seems an adult novel... no romance but there is a sex element going on... some violence of course... we'll see as the pages turn. Oh... and in De

Life will be what you choose

0 min read

There are different versions of that saying out there and depending on your own personal headspace you can either "buy it" or not. The choice is yours though and that is a wonderful luxury. I have so much more than some people, and a lot less than other people, so if i choose to be miserable about it, all i do is make myself miserable. So, to anyone else who also is having trouble dealing with life, it could get a lot worse and if it cant then everything else has to be better, Still searching for my voice.

I want to be more than I am...

0 min read

But life keeps getting in the damn way. Heller ladies and gents! I have neglected you greatly and apologise profusely. I am not sure telling you why would help (not to mention, there's a high likelihood that you arent that bothered and I have an inflated view of myself than even the internet gives me the luxury to believe... BUT I found myself lost again, hiding behind stacks of paperwork (that I do not enjoy, I am a pretty mean (as in efficient) administrator and bloody good organiser but it really doesnt get my blood rushing). Very little about my day to day has made my blood rush. I have realised though that being "just" a writer isnt e

Hey, Merry Christmas! Can't believe it's only 10 days away!

Got another contract from Paramount so am very pleased, and have submitted more of my stuff to them, so am hoping that by the New Year, I'll have another contract if they like what they see.

Hope you have a fantastic & safe Xmas.
