The First Kiss by varawdn, literature

The First Kiss

He paused in the middle of his sentence and looked at her sitting beside him. "What?" She asked, laughing. He didn't say anything, just leaned in to kiss her. She froze, startled, then began to respond. His lips, soft and warm, moved over hers. When they came up for air, he looked at her, waiting for her to say something. She stared at him for a minute, breathing a little heavily. "That was unexpected," she said finally. "Yeah," he allowed, guessing that for her it might have been. She smiled at him and grabbed him by the shoulder, pulling him toward her. He half fell on top of her. "Let's try it again," she grinned up at him, and pulled

Chapter One

She was late, he thought, idly washing a paw. His tail twitched back and forth for a minute as he considered his options. He stood up and began making his way to the gate. He twitched his tail as he walked down the block, dodging pedestrians and his thoughts turned serious. Maybe Zephyr caught her as she came through the gate. He caught a glimpse of dark brown hair pulled into a sloppy braid, hiding delicately pointed ears. Blue eyes wide with amazement stared up at the tall buildings surrounding her. Where have you been, Ailke? We don't have any time to waste, we need to find the first Orb, he scolded her. She blinked down at him. "Cats do

Just one more

Just one more One more night, One more drink, One more anything. I'm here for you. Only you. And I just want one more breath With you by my side. This is the last time I'll be with you. And I just want one more moment To remember when you're gone. Just one more. One more hug, One more kiss, One more moment With you by my side. So can I have just one more? One more anything? I'll take whatever I can get. One more anything?

One Sign by varawdn, literature

Literature

One Sign

Thoughts that I try to ban Keep invading my mind. Is it so bad That all I want is you? You said we didn't have a chance. You said it couldn't be. But all I can think of Is the way you looked at me. And now all I can do Is sit here and stare at the phone, Pleading for it to ring, For it to prove you're still thinking of me. Won't you please call? A text will do. All I need Is just one sign. One sign to prove That there's hope for love. Just because we can never be, Because we don't have a chance of becoming an us, Doesn't mean we can't care for each other, Does it?

Words and Love by varawdn, literature

Literature

Words and Love

Words won't come. They all just sit there, in a puddle in my mind. I stare into it, trying to make sense of it all. I can make out one or two. All the rest merge together. Unwilling to be used. I though I could depend on words. I thought I could depend on you. They were always there for me. You were always there for me. It feels like they hate me. Do you hate me? After all that I've done, I couldn't blame you. After all that we've been through? Life, and so much more. Please don't hate me. I couldn't bear it. The words just refuse to come. And the more I try to decipher them, the more words join the puddle, muddling it all even mor

Raindrops by varawdn, literature

Literature

Raindrops

Can I even feel anymore? Do I even deserve to feel? The wind sighs in tree branches, As a storm brews in the clouds. I watch the lightning begin to form, Waiting for the feel of the rain against my skin. I see it falling to the ground. I feel it in my clothes, Wet against my skin. But I never feel the rain hit my face. Is it because I can't feel any more? Is it because of what I said? What I did? What I wish I could take back? Reasons upon reasons form in my mind. I know them for what they are. Excuses. I won't deny it. I won't deny their truth, either. But I stare into your back, As you walk away, And wish that I could

My Bio

EDIT because it's come up, everything I'm currently doing I either write out long hand and then type onto my phone to post, or is just written on my phone. This unfortunately means that the autocorrect gods often decide to curse me. This also means that ... Awkward... Comments can get posted. I try to catch it, but it doesn't always happen in time. Sorry!

I don't know if people realize just how very much comments mean to me. I LOVE comments!!! Of EVERY sort. Criticisms, what the poem/whatever-the-heck-I-post means to you, just how it made your day awesome, how it somehow manages to say exactly what you've been feeling. Whatever it is that crosses your mind when you read/see it, I want to know. Even if all you're doing is faving it because you think it's well written (Is that too arrogant? It is, isn't it?) I want to know! So please, please, COMMENT! I absolutely love everyone who says something, and I always try to reply, even if it's just to say thanks.

I also don't have a clue what Llama badges are for or what to do with them.

Current Residence: Some itty bitty middle of nowhere town.... again.
Skin of choice: Bill Gates's. It's richer than mine.

I'm never on here. X_X I'm sorry. I do check it, check up on the people I follow. I just haven't had anything new to post in far too long. I should really probably just close down my account, but I can't bring myself to quite yet. So I'll continue to lurk.

yay! i only just saw that you were creating a new story and that you officially retired the other one (that journal was only twenty hours old, so at least i wasn't terribly late seeing that one). My first thought on seeing that you were creating a new story was "please let me beta it even though i've been horrible about staying in touch!" so... pwease? pretty pwease? *puppy dog eyes* and email me more! I was just thinking about you and your awesome stories the other day. Plus, you're awesome to talk to.
