The Muse :updated:The whole world drives energy from you,The Muse :updated:3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Mother nature deems you her child,
Embracing you with tender emotion.
The whole mankind drives energy from you,
The leader above all who leads
To light, not knowing the paths.
The whole flora drives energy from you,
Limbs squeezed, veins throttled, heart stopped..
And no pain at all??!...
You see, the whole universe drives energy from you..
But what about the merest "her",
An efemere particle of the sand!?...
Her whole heart drives energy from you,
Engulfing her, but she'll never notice,
You use innocence of the thought.
Her kind eyes drive energy from you,
No fear of losing her sight,
Survivors +1Winter on the Island is indiscernible from summer. Seasons melt into one another as time passes, perpetual warmth sweeping through the city in waves, as if the god of weather is trying to be as ordinary as possible. At times, the radiant blue sky is clouded, but there's no way of telling when it's going to open up and sob all over your yellow Alexander McQueen pumps. Rain is, quite literally, the most unpredictable thing for a thousand miles in every direction.Survivors +13 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Life on the Island, however, is incredible. Long lost beasts, creatures as old as time - older - roam through the jungles, a cacophony of bird calls and animal c

Eden's turned to weeds
and ivy's strangled the trees.
I remember when we courted and I thought you
were like one of the first flutes, roughly hewn, and I became
afraid of forgetting the sound of the song we
made.
Something has evaded us and now I
no longer belong here with you.
I thought this time it was my turn,
so freely stepped out of the blue and into the grey
of stormy cars and stifling London air of May.
A bright leaf suspended on water,
is due to go under.
My past life impossible to tune out
like background noise it is reflected in windows,
raindrops and metallic doors. Spices o
The Red Rum of Santa MuerteBones are blurred 'neath a blanket of tearsThe Red Rum of Santa Muerte3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
all the while I've been bored
staring at a snaking procession
of the Santa Muerte.
A pastiche of devotees stutter
out their cobbled prayers;
the red rum weighs down on my stomach
the drink wakes up the snake.
I don't share their sweating pilgrimage,
the shivering prayer
from their dusty feet to a gruel
of swaying hands propped up.
Bones are burned 'neath a blanket of fears
all the while I've been gnawed
staring at a snaking procession
of the Santa Muerte.
Their devotion makes me despise them
- that at least is my wish.
I am drawn by their subsonic moan
the subtle screech of trust.

The drum must be the water drum we use, and the drummer must be the man I know when he is the fireman.
I need a gourd and not just any gourd. I need a staff too, and not just any staff.
The gourd must be beaded, with leather tassels swaying at the bottom when I use it, when we use it.
The staff must be a symbol when I or another of us holds it, to show we are the ones to listen to, we are the ones who none can step in front of while we sing.
I need a song to sing and not just any song.

I'm not good-looking,
And nor am I strong.
Falling and Failing.
I always do wrong.
I am not popular,
Not a big shot.
I don't have a car.
I am just a small dot.
I don't have friends.
They think I'm odd.
I don't follow trends.
But, I'm no dud.
I have nothing.
To show my value.
I don't have anything,
Only my virtue.
You love me.
The way I am.
I can be myself.
I don't have to change.
Some people see,
not the inside.
They look,
Only on the outside.
You're not like them.
You're different.
You followed your heart.
You believed in me.
That's why I thank you.
With all of my heart.
That's why I love you,

I touched my lips as I spoke your name.
Then, it felt like home again
and I thought of all the things you've said
and wondered if you found me sane.
Infatuation is the sweetest pain

oh, how I love the summer rain.
It's like a love song for the insane
like comfort is to homemade bread

I wanted to dance in the summer rain

to watch it dance on the window pane.
Will I get the chance to dance again?
Though my feet feel weary and full of lead.

Words flutter through my mind,
A feeling so divine,
The moon reflects in the water in front of you,
And paranoia creeps along my spine,
Star gazes piercing right through.
Icicles drifting in the night air,
Snow singing through all despair,
And I realized that the sky was like a knife;
Shredding apart the snow into flakes while they're unaware,
Yet they all fall and cover the ground, absent of strife.
Unlike the human population,
Spacing and spreading throughout the nation,
Instead of cutting, we deteriorate,
Searching and seeking for salvation,
But nature's against us--we'll have no choice but to separate.

The eyes-closed concentration of the place; only skin against skin, only breathing and heartbeat. There is so much communication of hands; so much a single stretch of skin can say-so much that is wordless about touch. It is as a prayer, my hand, two fingers, slanting against your forehead, as your eyes look up and reflect, blue-brown, galaxies, bright mirrors and tiny dots whirling and hung suspended. It is as if I see through those pools, as if the tiny plane is a world and I am hung, tiny, in between

silent cartographers in the dark
clumsy with desire
casually stroking out the guidelines
leaving trails as fine as wire
creating a depiction of your body
a representation of Land You
the hills and plains of your frame
carved out in muscle and sinew
ive got a memory like a sieve
and eyes prone to forget
but my fingertips remember
every place where theyve been let
my palms will run a relay
over every joint and bone
to commit your body to my mind
to recall when im alone
when you leave me all alone
to remember when you're gone.

There is a safety in the soundness of mind.
A sort of peace that many will never find.
A sort of armour, in the logical things.
So how, then, am I subject to the stings
Of Emotion,
Ambition
Of an amourous kind?
To devotion?
Intuition
Warns me not to fall blind.
But what chance have I
Against anything so strong?
Tell me how I can rely
On something bound to go wrong?
I feel senseless,
Beaten, whipped,
And completely unwise.
I'm defenseless!
I've been stripped
Of my stoic disguise.
And I analyze,
Study,
Dissect
And distinct-

I remember when
Boys used to lift me up
In circles hauled me around
Laughing, protesting I shouted
To be let down—
And eventually, they let me down.
I remember when
A lover would carry me
While I was wearing white so many
Years before my wedding
I never felt so safe and so I smiled
Here was one who cared enough to pick me up
Out of the rain
Still, I protested and would cry
To be let down again.
It’s been a long time and my feet
Are here, on terra firma
Are here, still on the ground
And I’m not dizzy any longer
From being spun around.

A crater bloomed on the barren landscape, showering me with dirt and rock. Shaking the detritus out of my fur, I heard the distinctive "foomp-fwissshhh" of another missile launch. Something like an flaming kelp-sausage flashed towards me.
There just HAD to be a missile launcher there… I groaned.
I fingered the lucky credit chip hanging around me neck, rubbing a claw over the ragged hole in its center. It'd taken me two years of intense small arms training to nail that coin. Good times. These days, my daily exercises weren't nearly as easy. I wasn't simply learning the art of war;

I have lef thte graves with their last roses.
A sentiment so hollow
They themselves reject it.
I have come to feel
the chains slip from my fingers
as i walk away from such dark lands
and turn my back to such loneliness and pain.
I keep no memoir of time past,
Luggage on this trip is
an unnecessary burden.
So wander I,

He robbed me,

How could he look so empty,

Make light of those beneath you.
Those burning,
those crying,
the city below that recoils at your touch,
that runs from your dance,

You billow to have your hands

seeking to call the forces
into your little game.
Do you see?
The clouds have donned their costumes,
they come to join your masquerade.
The ban the light
and bind the air
to ride the wind
in their cacophnic little meet of sorts.
Blind yourself against the smoke,
the fire that spawns
releases its joy only for a moment.
