Snowstorm
I danced with you through a snowstorm. You danced with me through the rain. Now I dance alone every winter, and cry every time that it rains. I see your residual image; I blink, and then you fade away. ...

*TAINTED* Butterfly, spread your wings to stair my womb When everything said my life will end Unbothered yet growing with love Your posture like a queen, my sorrow, your Joy Happy to see the world, while I birth you in pain When heads popped out yours was dangling legs Oh! My little feeble Wonders from...

Inside cell of 16
By 11, I thought I'd have it down by 15, But by 16 and a sour sunday morn, And daisy chains foiled into the moor, And hands that tighten but ne'er lighten, Hands that strangle, stitch, and liven. Of ties that wrangle, withhold, hang o'er the handle, And toe-tipp'd kisses of kids with scissors, Incisions of misses by razors and flesh...

Pain Breeds Beauty
Speak your melodies and I'll dream of harmonies that will someday be befitting of your artistry Similarly Voice your euphony and I'll dream of poetry that will someday be worthy of your flattery, and lure you into rhapsody - pure ecstasy with each word that breathes between the pages from beneath those eyes that never cease to critique, and a breath that reeks of deceit and deserted...

Gold Star Sadness
I get straight A’s I show up I say thank you I win medals And never cry In public They say I’m so mature So composed So impressive But no one asks How it feels To carry a coffin Of expectations On a growing spine Being depressed When you’re “so good at everything” Is like drowning In a sea of...

Radio
I hear him through the speakers. He wanders in my mind. What have I done? I have one broken chance left. God, help me Because I can’t see myself anymore. A subtle whisper, But not a zephyr. Crackle, crackle. “She is watching you.” “You know she is using you.” “Strike back.” He decodes my reality. The channels crack with vibrant energy. “Nobody can hear us.” What do you want from...

i was wrong, i am sorry
behold, the Paranoid Schizoid. lost in the void, he’s an android. the Victim of a cruel trick, a tragic sort of magic, there was no favorable pick. i can see it in your eyes. they don’t speak lies. we were caught off guard. oh, my life, a splintered shard. during the sunshower, i confided in the loudest flower. and just like that, said the Bard, i’m somebody else’s...

Premium Member The Circus Narrative
she hears the cheering, the big drums, the cymbals and daddy’s narrative. …hears the crowd’s laughter, the clown’s are after. her heart beats rapidly at the possibility that the pail could contain confetti or water …the blind muses. she sees what she calls gray, the big elephant on parade. she’s so high on a tightwire - she exhales clouds. she sees more than the audience. she breathes the...

Premium Member On a velvet night, when man enters woman
On a velvet night, when man enters woman, like a wave kissing the shore with repeated desire, and the woman opens her mouth like a flower revealing its petals at dawn, her teeth shine like stars that form the alphabet of the sky, and the Logos, like an alchemist of dreams, milks a star of cosmic milk, while the man,...

Never Forget
I will never forget the first time I lost someone to suicide. The deafening screams that I created, The shock, Followed by the aftershock. I will never forget you Matthew, I won't let myself forget you. As to forget is to accept, And if I accept your death, I’m afraid of how the system we fought for so long will continue to...

Premium Member You live like this, sheltered in a delicate world crafted from dreams and illusions
You live like this, sheltered in a delicate world crafted from dreams and illusions, Believing you are truly living, while your steps are guided by routine, But then you open a book... or embark on an unexpected journey, And discover that you are not living, but hibernating, asleep in an apparent silence. The symptoms of hibernation are easy to...
