Porcelain Skin, Ceramic Hearts
Canvasing the world as we solder metal bandages to wooden wings

We attempt to cover pain by silencing what our scars sing

A noted tension with a vulnerable assist

Ceramic Silver Swans
As the sun sets over the mountains,
And the stars light up the skies,
Evening dewdrops glisten
And light the diamonds in your eyes.

Rivers they carry the shimmers
Of the moonlight dancing free.
Like ceramic silver swans they swim,
Carrying you to me.

Passion knows no boundaries,
And love can tell no lies,

She filled where I felt most empty.
On certain days she would dance in my arms.
Painting my cheeks rose red.
Creating foundation we both...

Memories and dreams driven by desires and needs

Pose as the trough through which our fiction feeds

Obtaining the most out of life is what we all want

Hoping when we die it's not viewed as a meaningless stunt

Premium Member The Ceramic Cookie Jar
"Don't go back there"  she says to me
she knows how bad a memory can be 
let your uncle in reach for the stool 
four years old, too young for school
When the shift work was done,  
she'd come home on the run
