Balloon Animals

Five hours of sleep and Jade, Spencer, and I were out the little red door of 44 Clockhaven Road, forcing ourselves towards the westbound subway platform. Spencer scowled grudgingly at the sun bouncing off the snow that had fallen on our way home the night before. Our footprints were nowhere to be found; there was no proof that anyone had trudged, tired, through four a.m. I hated having to move. My feet ached from dancing in heels the night before, but Spencer’s legs were up to the task, and he was determined not to be late for work. I found it astounding that he was going to cater a wedding, miserably hung over. Jade and I jogged

A Zip-line Kind of Love by Hey-Ocean, literature

Literature

A Zip-line Kind of Love

I flew across the lighted square To leave the past five years behind. It’s the end of an era, but I don’t care; It took more courage than I thought I’d find. I dreamed of Toronto through your eyes, But saw it, suspended from the night. I know you’re down there, riding trains, But I’m more comfortable at this height. This zip-line is like loving you For the terror and wonder it can bring, But unlike you, the cable holds true And doesn't let go for anything.

Down A Rung by Hey-Ocean, literature

Down A Rung

I felt it; The dissociation. I’ve slipped blindly Down a rung. I don’t know why Or Who threw me down here— What tipped the scales Was it because I’m sickly? Are you afraid I’ll drop Dead And you won’t get your money? Are my thoughts too primitive? Too grotesque? Darlings, It’s not my writing that’s obscene It is the observations I chose to write about That offend you. But Every word is human— Just the breed of human You don’t Recognize. Slovenly, broken Intoxicated, beat. Beat Because you beat us And dropped us down A rung.

Secret Beach

I dialed his number for what I knew would be the last time. There was no answer and no voicemail, only an endless ringing. I didn’t need him to pick up; between my memories and what-ifs, I was already puttering around his kitchen in the summer of ’09. “At one point I’m going to make you a celebratory breakfast,” he declared, his grey eyes devouring the sun that crept cautiously through the kitchen window. I sipped at my glass of water for something to do. “Why? What for?” “To celebrate your arrival. You’ve been here for four days already. Actually, I expected to see you at the

A Black + White Affair

I first spotted him in the black room wearing a white shirt and silver tie. It was only his reflection in the mirror in front of me, but it had me hiding behind my best friend; a girl half my size. “Just order a damned beer and say hello,” Leigh told me. “If there’s an awkward silence, take a swig.” I could hardly keep an alcoholic beverage down, but it was the only advice I had, so I nervously ordered a local brew and whispered Carpe Diem as I removed the cap. It was more of a prayer. I whispered it so softly that not even a hound could catch the sentiment. For every second I delayed approaching him, I f

Just Another Nail In The Floor

To say that I hate you is to say that I might hate the sun for its ability to warm and burn me all at once. I suppose what I feel is frustration and now, more recently, loss. Not the loss of a person, but the loss of a deranged fantasy I'd built up in my own mind. My frustration is an older suffering that stems from hopelessness...the hopelessness that rattles the wind chimes every time I am forced to remember that we are inherently different. I've always been far from normal, and normal is what has always been asked of me. Rather than believe in myself, believe in my abnormal outlook, I did my best to stay quiet and pass unnoticed. You

The Sea Creature Pantoum by Hey-Ocean, literature

The Sea Creature Pantoum

I am as good as dead; I don't know how I got here On this tiny, sullen beach. The night is coming, I can taste it on my tongue. I don't know how I got here I was dreaming dreams and then I woke up. The night is coming, I can taste it on my tongue. I am afraid to die in the storm. I was dreaming dreams and then I woke up Thunder shook the trees and I hollered "I am afraid to die in the storm!" The lightning split my voice in two so not a soul could hear it. Thunder shook the trees and I hollered; The tide kept grabbing at my feet. The lightning split my voice in two so not a soul could hear it. I lost my balance and fell into th

It seems so far away now. I know exactly how I felt and what happened, But it's just out of reach of my pen WHY can't I write what I mean to write?

Throw me into a brand new era Because I think I'm ready; My heart's been quaking all night long But my mind is steady.

I'm sick. Really really sick. Diseased if you will. I need sleep, but at the same time, I don't want it. Not in the slightest. I wish for summer, For days passed by the ocean, Amid the dunes And with friends. Crazy friends! The ones that make your bones laugh And your smile threaten to escape your face. I can hardly imagine Such days attending to me now....

Oh wow, just logged in now.! I am very well. I don't really post here anymore for a variety of reasons. The first is that someone stole some of my writing from this site and passed it off as their own. The second reason is because I started a Creative Writing major at my university...and then felt like everything I wrote prior to starting my major was absolute crap and I didn't want to be reminded about it. But I do miss this site.

How have you been? Still writing? And can I find you on social media other than DA?

Good to hear you're doing well! Sorry to hear about your work being stolen. That must feel awful. How's your creative writing course going? Would love to do something like that one day. Are you still writing/posting your work anywhere online besides dA?

I've been well thanks, writing in bits and pieces. I'm finishing up with my degree in the next few months so there isn't much time to write, but I do post stuff occasionally. Don't read other people's work as much though, which is kind of sad.
Yeah, I've got everything, except I don't know how my tumblr works, I'm like an old person. I do have facebook though, www.facebook.com/iyram or let me know where to find you as well. Was thinking of a poetry blog but that's still in its planning stages for now.

Did you put this name because of the band Hey Ocean, or was it a coincidence?

The band =]

Oh then awesome, great to see another Hey Ocean fan. <3
