Literature Text

Up is down and down is up
So many things going on
Not a lot of sense to any of them
Two weeks and the truth will be known
Either way, life goes on
It's not quite the canary that sings to me
It's more the nightingale that calls
Sometimes I truly wonder..

Is there any help for those in need?

Erased

Sometimes I wish I could just erase every trace of me Flowing in and out my mind another faded story Each dream a wish or just another drop in the sea Lurking before me is the vastness of eternity And all I wish to do is fade into obscurity For a day and hour or my thoughts still murky

Desirous Avowal

Savouring the breath of each word whispered from your lips, I am left in desperate need to have the essence of your being beside me. So tell me dearest to my heart, Tell me that you love me.. Tell me my sweet serenity, And tell me true, That you need me as I do you. For these confessions of the heart, Stripping me of all sanity, Weakening me with each blow, Provide the strength in me, To be all I want to be. These silent suffocations, That leave me gasping; beckoning, Send a scorching blaze of heat through my body, Burning the fire of my desire, To be all you want me to be.

Envious

Everything she has, I want. I want to be thin, to have her curves, her beautiful shaped eyes, dancing and perfect green. I want to have men stop, stare, willing to do anything, for a moment of my time, as they do her. I want to be so loved, so spoiled. Men offer her jewelry, trips, cars, clothes... everything they have, just for her attention. Anything she wants, is hers for the asking. I want to have her long legs, able to go dancing, whenever she wants, as long as she wants. To be able to wear... sexy clothes, fine jewelry, delectable shoes. To not be laughed at, to be desired... I want to be he

Growth

The emptiness that grows inside, is cultivated by the loss of what made me happy. The loss of my future waters, the emptiness, my future breaking like glass and breaching my skin forces the tears with ease. The loss of my love provides the soil, fertile from the death of the vast knowledge of things I knew about her. And the loss of my hope provides the now eclipsed sunshine that singes everything except the one flourishing emptiness. Soon it will become a vast jungle. Becoming the home of the monsters that were once dormant inside myself. I pray for your cleansing fire to take the forest away from my mind, and liberate me once more.

Loveless: Butterfly-Touch

His hands are almost always cold. They are cold and they are bony. Cold, bony and big but they're soft. Not even Seimei's hands were as soft as his. Not even when all Seimei did was to pat his head or tickle his cheek with feather-light touches - not even then could the softness be compared to those touches. His hands are even calloused in places – and there are scars on them he notices when he looks closer - but even though Seimei's hands were untouched by any kind of hard work or craftsmanship they do not compare to these. His hands are big, cold and bony, but they touch him like the fluttering wings of butterflies, caressing, strok

Tapestry

The morning is a tapestry... tripping over last night's grace, I watch you weave your skin and shake out your hair - soft teal and jonquil shadowing your cheek as the curtains part between your hands. Threads tangle as you turn, telling me dawn is a gentle lover, and the tumble of birds plaiting their soft notes lingers on the pillows where your smile is my undoing.

Literature

Suicide

This lovely suicide - the hiss of smoke dangling between your fingers and the loss of breath that claimed your sleep. Your limbs - somnolent, wrapped against the autumn chill fingers draped with paper angels as someone you never knew tucked a lily behind your dreams. I could almost hear your skin speaking eloquent and parched as summer, wondering if you had landed somewhere holy or if god had kept you waiting.

acropolis

living girl, do not build an armory out of incisors & fractured femurs do not seek to fit this throne of bones; do not shrink into the framework of this citadel feral girl, feral heart, we can scoff at those who want to live forever (immortality is fickle) but we are more than lost baby-teeth & we have words to give yet

Featherdance (Poem)

Listen closely, and you may hear The sound of sacred fire. Its ancestry flickers in a thousand Colors, all within the hearts of unborn heroes. Somewhere deep inside legend, A fringed master slumbers. Its breath sequesters beneath its beak As it dreams in molten gold. Six score, it has lain in wait For its kaleidoscopic guardian. A spirit akin to its veined own, In suit and solemn as he. The skies grow dapper without The grace of its marbled wings And the elegance of the feathers That heal the lame and the ungainly. Its dogs look toward the heavens, Listening for its sacred fire. The hours and the days atrophy And crumb

Lavender Town

What is that? What do you hear? You look as if You've seen a ghost. Let them speak to you; All their tormented souls Wish is for a living heart To become one with theirs. The plague of sorrow racks These doleful townsmen, As they wander vacant streets With hunched shoulders. He is crying for his mother; Can you feel his tears? You cannot, for you—you— You are like all the others. Please, be their guest, And let them creep beneath your skin. They mean you immortal joy, And no harm shall haunt you. No harm shall haunt you, But they shall instead, Their stoicism patient as they Wait for you to crumble. He is

Trust

Trust. It's something earned, Not given. It's like an ember of my heart, Placed inside yours To hold and protect. Extinguishing it or throwing it away Will break our bond, It may never be repaired. Don't try to steal an ember, For it's not rightfully yours Until I personally place it in your chest. Once it's there, It grows and strengthens Until it's a fire. A fire of trust That can't be extinguished That can't be thrown out. It will always be there, Linking me to you.
