Real LifeOnce upon a time,Real Life1 year ago in Romance More Like This
in a land far away,
a beautiful princess was born.
She had sky blue eyes
and golden hair
and--
This isn't a fairytale!
this is life
And a girl was born
but she's not some fairytale princess
she's lilylunapotter
all green flashing eyes
and fire red hair
she jumped into life
feet first
and mouth open
-time goes by-
It's her 13th birthday
she shines like the sun
in pink chiffon & lace
and--
Wait...

life's not a fairytale!
not even close
It's her 13th birthday
but she glows like fire
in a t-shirt & jeans
and she couldn't be happier

She whirls around

there was a king
and a queen
but there was also
a princess
The queen
was wonderful
all icy white beauty
maturity
perfection
And then there was the princess
she was beautiful, too
(in her own way)
all warmth and sunshine and heart melting smiles
giggles and dizziness
And then there's the king
(that's you, boy)
and something unexpected happened
because never before
has a king
fallen for a princess
But when asked to choose between
Victoire
(the snow queen)
and Lily
(the flower princess)
the choice was simple
Because, really,
who wants a snowflake
when you can have a flower petal?

StarFlowerFlowers are pretty, aren't they?StarFlower1 year ago in Romance More Like This
Bu you don't really like them, do you?
Sure, they're pretty
But they're not beautiful
Everyone likes them
And they expect you to
But you don't
For example, there are roses
sososo cliché (just the sorta thing you hate)
that deep dark red, so pretty
those smooth, soft petals, so soft
but roses have thorns
(and who likes thorns?)
Then, there are lilies
They're pretty, too
That strawberry pink shade
And they don't have thorns
But flowers die so quickly
You've just started to enjoy them
when they fade
don't be so picky, boy
if you don't like roses or lilies
what do you like?

Don't kid yourself, darling
Snow White was always your cousin
With her deep hazel eyes
Straight strawberry hair

Except for him
You got to him first
You blazed your way to his heart
With stolen kisses,
Late-night rebellion
And beautiful blissfulness
And then, just when you thought he was yours,

maybe because of the idea
of a happy ending

He has a lot of friends
And even a few girlfriends

But he's only turquoise with her
Only her
And then on the last day of summer
They're sitting together under that big tree
Recalling happy times
And laughing
Together
In that way
That only old friends can do
He turns to look at her
And her breath catches in her throat
'cause through all the years she's known him,
he's never seen that l

Just Beneath The SurfaceJust beneath the surface,Just Beneath The Surface6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Just underneath it all,
Behind those eyes,
Behind that smile,
Behind those curves,
That seems to go for a mile,
Behind everything lies a woman,
A woman who has gone through many things,
That looks to be strong but sometimes weak,
That looks to be good but going through pain,
That looks to be anything but what she can be at times,
She was taught to hide it all,
All beneath the surface,
All beneath every fiber of her bones,
All beneath everything that is her,
But, she keeps going every day,
Because there is so much out there,
And she does have faith,
And she does believe she can have true strength,
And that she doesn&r

not where you think
it would belong.
Smoke on the water
or High way to hell
both seem to fit well.
The people attending
do not know how to take
if this is the funeral
whats of the wake.
Was always a rebel in life
said what I felt
could not hold my mouth
if I had I would not
be here now.
They think they have heard
the last of me
that when the curtains close
in to the furnace I go.
If I go to heaven or hell
Only I can tell.
Heaven with its angels
what a sight.
Hell with the devil
party all night.
You will hear from me soon

Not a bird,
But a name.
The name of a girl.
A girl whom
I have yet to meet.
Yet the name of a girl
Of whom
I've seen before.
I saw her,
One fateful day.
I fell in the kitchen;
There I lay.
My eyes closed tight,
For I'd hit my head.
And through the darkness
There she laid.
It was not that of
A top down or side view.
No, it was more
A view from her.
A look at the world
Through the eyes of another.
She lay there,
Exactly as I had.
Same spot,
Same position,
Same surroundings.
She had long,
Bleach blonde hair.
A white tee on
With denim shorts.
I knew there was
Black eyeliner
Surrounding baby blue,
Crystal clear eyes.
Why she was
The truth..Not to tell you,The truth..8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
That I always loved you,
And probably always will,
Would've been an insult in our memory,
We have seen different places,
Thousands of different faces,
Different forgotten difficulties,
Different glories of all sorts.
And even though our lives have begun differently,
We might speak different tongues,
We come from different parts of the world.
Our hearts will always beat as one.
It was often, to me, told,
That I should keep my thoughts to myself,
That I should keep memories, memories,
And not bring them back.
But to think of all of that,
I came to the understanding,
That all those feelings,
All those thoughts
My HeartMy heart,My Heart8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
It cracks,
As some one,
Slides on out.
They don't need me no more,
I've been replaced,
The hole they left in my heart,
Is filled with lies and hidden promises.
My tears cascade,
Down my pure white cheeks,
As I feel the pain of your absence,
The destruction it's caused.
Why...
Why could you just not tell me?
I would have been angry of course,
But not at you...
Never at you...
You hid those things,
You lied to me.
I thought you were acting weird that day...
Guess it was the lies eating you away.
You do not understand...
How much I hate lies,
How much I hate myself,
For making you feel like you couldn't tell me
Somber RomanceSomber Romance8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Your luscious black hair cascading
Long down my emaciated hand
From my frosty palm life is fading
This ominous fate I reprimand
I weep as you lie dormant and cold
Bitterly silent and erotic
You shine as inviolable gold
Of a tale of angels and Gothic
Open your emerald eyes my dear
I can no longer cradle your head
Your misery shall in me inhere
As my lifetime is torn and shredded
You leave me alone forevermore
I shall cry myriads of rivers
I kiss you goodbye and I abhor
This romance to be sad and somber

RosebudHe's gone.Rosebud8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
His milky white marbled flesh lies cold as stone in the roughly hewn box
still garbed in the clothes he died in
every speck of blood, sweat, and dirt still intact
Never again will his eyes gaze on me with that timid, almost apprehensive stare
his hands shaking oh-so-slightly, to smile that half-smile
The red, red rosebud lies askew on his chest
Its petals are limp and blackening
its stem cut too short, too roughly ripped from the plant
in bulk
that was most likely root stock
I stare dumbly at his face.
His eyes are half open, narrowed in concentration
or maybe mid-laugh
his mouth curved at the edges like Cupid's bow

That's what they say isn't it?
About...
Soul mates?
You don't love yourself,
You put yourself down.
So from now until forever after,
I will love you till you learn to love yourself.
But just remember,
That even when you do,
When your heart beats whole,
When you finally realise how amazing you really are,
That I still love you more.
And that I will stand by your side,
For the rest of my life
Proving that I love you more.
Two halves.
To make a whole.
Two hearts,
That complete each other.
I believe that I am weak,
That even a feather would bring my toppling towers down.
That my existence,
Is noth
Blameless LoveHe came home to me every night,Blameless Love8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
He took my love in doses.
We moved from fight to fight,
I was always trying to make it right.
He got addicted to my love,
As I was slowly bled dry.
I absorbed every blow, every shove,
I saw the light shining from above.
Death slept next to me in bed,
For his needs trumped mine.
Into greedy shadows I was fed,
Falling for every word he said.
I can't say I was used,
I never asked for help.
He cannot be accused,
He cannot be refused.
BeautyUneven faces,Beauty8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
A lock, a chain.
Like tired smiles,
Like summer rain.
A kiss on the cheek,
A whistle, a call.
Like moss underfoot,
Like leaves in fall.
A dance without music,
It's precious, it's lost.
Like shards of glass,
Like Winter's frost.
Beauty today
Is fading away.
Cold sunlight,
A harvest moon.
Like a memory,
It's leaving soon.
His Breath, Her DeathHer eyes,His Breath, Her Death8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
so pale yet patient,
swarms of orca whales swim inside her irises,
dancing along the sunlight in jewel tones,
so rich with reflection,
it's as though you are staring into the ocean
if the ocean were emptiness,
but when you look passed the beauty
you can see that she is broken,
she is a ship wreck in the making
with anchored hips and a drowning smile,
but that's what she gets for falling too fast
when everyone told her it wasn't safe to sail,
the waters too rough, too cold, too heart breaking,
it's too late now though,
she is withered and writhing,
intertwined with ribbons of seaweed,
she has nothing left to give any

Only HumanWho let these monsters in the world?Only Human8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Allowed them to roam free?
Who let them set fire to nature,
Watch burning trees?
They came,
They made mistakes,
And yet they have not left,
Now what on earth are we to do?
I say they,
Yet i suppose in a way,
I am one of them too..
So very sad to say...
They trip,
They fall,
Their clumsy,
They make so many mistakes.
But in the end,
It's only fair to say,
That we can not expect any more,
Because they are,
Only Human.
