To Kiss A GhostSlowly the drug pulls down my veins,To Kiss A Ghost9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Pulling my hand in purpled waters,
Dragging me down into a misty realm,
Of lavender smoke…
Landing in a chilled crystal lake,
The ripples lapping against my legs,
I lift my eyes and see someone…
A shadow of... someone…
He reaches out a hand to me and touches my neck,
With the other, pulls me closer…
It was like kissing a ghost,
He was there, and then... he wasn't…
I never met his true self,
But I knew him then, and only then…
My hair ruffled through his fingers,
Rough and red,
His skin was cool and fading,
Blissful blue…
I never knew what it was&#
I, I am ForbiddenOh Lord , how I'm afraid.I, I am Forbidden9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I'm afraid that my secret will become known.
Those of my own blood chain me down and say I'm free,
They mock me before kissing me goodnight.
And for this reason, I have hidden how I think,
How I am,
From them all.
These words are typed in secrecy,
These thoughts forbidden to exist,
This heart forbidden to thrum with the blood of an open mind.
I am forbidden.
Oh Lord, how I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that I will never be free.
Because the only way I can truly be free is to break secrecy,
And that is too dangerous a border to cross...
And much too painful…
No daughter should hide her heart because of her
The Sun's Lover/ I Kissed The SkyI kissed the sky today,The Sun's Lover/ I Kissed The Sky9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
And whispered my soft plea,
The Sun reached down and tucked a stray curl behind my ear,
And winked at me as it rose between the leaves.
I kissed the dawn today,
And begged an answer,
But the Sun was too tired and only yawned the sunrise,
Leaving me clouds dusted with warm hues and laughter.
I kissed the dusk today,
And questioned my true desire,
But the Sun was too busy and advised the sunset-wind as a suitor,
But it left a smokey taste on my lips, and no warmth in my heart.
I kissed the sky today,
And sighed as I'm left alone,
Sitting here under his shining smile, his wondrous care,
I wonder if the Sun

Apply that last bit of eye make-up…
Twist the brush,
Swoop the glittery powder…
Standing back and smiling,
My reflection retorts….distorts…
I hear a hiss in my ear,
"Look at you, you love every person who talks to you... so pathetic…so naiive…so trusting…..such a fool."
I close my eyes tightly, I grip the edge of the counter, my knuckles white.
"Look at you, you don't know when to stop do you?.....so eager…so loving…so innocent…such a fool."

Their venom-gilded web,
I extend my hand towards their bitter cackling,
Trying to hold on to my existence….
My mentality…
They are my blood,
They are my family,
But every glance is two-faceted,
And every remark is double its original worth.
They will never accept me,
They will never understand,
And the metallic sharpness,
Creates acid from their lips,
And the stinging denial,
Gives birth to underlying hatred.
I dance between both worlds known to me,
But I'd prefer to be in only one.
I lie through my teeth daily,
I put on a show and pretend,
And I constantly rem

Like silver sugar lacing my smile,
I feel the skin around my eyes and neck warm and tint with red,
I cast down my eyes and smile,
There they are,
His fingers in my hair again,
Tapping and playing,
But all I can hear are those words…
Dancing through my head like perfect hallucinations,
But he said them….he did…

Sheening metal and shocking screams,
Chipping paint and whispered pain,
Thundering feet,
Barbed lightning choking me…
Distractions, distractions….
Clawed hands gripping denim,
An urge to wander…to just…walk….away…
Why…..why…
Shaking my head….tangled hair….
Shadowed figure….I'm the shadowed figure…
You'll never notice me…
Disintegrating in the static…
Falling apart with no aide….
A heartless smile…
A painted star…
A lost dream…
Shadowed figure….that's me…
You'll never know,
Because I'll jus

A sticker,

That will tell you what is wrong with me…
"Hi, My Name Is:
Easily loving, falls to quickly, doesn't know when to stop, tries her best but can't succeed, and only wants to hold someone's hand… to feel that hand on her shoulder when she cries…"
The ink would be smudged across as if written in haste, a couple letters bolded in spots as if trying to fix a mistake…So many mistakes…
The edges would be peeling as if to forget I ever existed all together…
Sometimes, I think I need to wear a warning…
So you will know ahead of time th

That glaring eye…
How astounded I am of the control I have over my expression…
Because she is standing there and making up excuses…
Too scared to let me go…
I know she's trying to be careful and loving and protecting me from harm,
But I need to do something!
She has to let me do something, or I'll never do anything!
And she tries to stand there and catch me in the lie I've twisted so carefully…no flaws…
I have her cleverness, her intellect, I can match it mostly.
I know how to hide my true nature from her accusing eye.
You wicked woman that I love with all my heart,
Why do you dance
Our Daily GameThere is an unquestionable care…Our Daily Game8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I would do anything to see him smile…
Sitting there behind him, listening to the others laugh and play,
He leans back into my chest,
And nudges my cheek.
That's probably my favorite part of the day,
Is when my blood thrums and dances to the sound of his heart,
And when he's comfortable,
And I trace his back with my nail,
I smile as I watch him shiver.
I laugh when he turns to me,
A shine in his dark eyes…
"Who told you to stop?"

For one, I would be able to spend it with you,
Just doing nothing in particular,
Maybe we'd sit and listen to music,
And I'd let you pet my hair and play with me…
Maybe we'd go to the park and draw,
And I would give up because you're better,
And you would laugh and poke fun…
Maybe we'd go to the mall,
Or you're house,
Or wherever…anywhere…would be a perfect day…if it involved you…
Because when you smile it lights me up,
When you play with me, I never want you to stop…
When you sing, I swear there's nothing sweeter or more calming…
And when yo

Turning blonde petals whichever way he dances,
Draping her body in the wind of ages,
And decorating her skin with the dew of secret dawns…
Waiting and hoping one day he'll see,
How much is gathered in the whispered songs of weeds,
How much she trusts that the firm ground she has grown from,
Will stab her heart the moment truth is found…
How far she stretches and yearns to touch his golden heart,
Waiting and hoping one day he'll see,
What love from a sunflower means.

How much I'm diseased…
Until I can't stand to look at my own face in the mirror.
I never know how bad I've got it,
How much I'm lost….
Until I prefer the shadows and hope that I'm invisible.
I never know,
Until I write.
I never know,
Until I go to sleep….and can't stop thinking…about…
How bad I've got it.
Don't patch me up, don't hold my hand…
Because you're content…you're happy…you're…
And no matter what I try,
I'm always deceived by my thoughts…
Always thinking I mean something, when really I meant something else….

Your darkest deepest fear,
Whisper it, type it slow,
And never let them hear…
Because you know how much I care,
You know what I really mean,
And because I care so deeply,
You're secret's safe with me.
Go ahead and tell me,
Who you really love,
Whisper it, and type it slow,
And never let them know…
Because you know that I still care,
So I'll never tell you no,
I'll support your whims on hand,
And never to let go.
So go ahead and tie the string,
Draw the face of my true soul,
Tickle, laugh, and trick me, boy,
But you have to know,
That these games make it difficult,
They make it oh so hard&#

Peel back the skin and reveal my porcelain heart,
Like a clockwork doll, made in secret from the mountains,
A lock is encased in its center,
And the key was lost long ago…
Given to a man of a name I've never known…
You play music of the sweetest notes,
Stories of love and devoted trust…
Love I don't deserve…
Love I can only give away…
What a truthful night it has been for this doll,
Every heart spoke its truth,
And she nearly cried from her shock…
So much love and care,
From those she's never met…never known…
Her crystal blood flows freely now,

Closing my eyes to the setting sun,
I feel my lips pinch in a small smile,
As I remember everything about you that makes my days special.
Every moment spent, every text sent,
I smile, knowing that you are mine,
And I sleep into dreams of holding your hand,
And kisses in courtyards,
Darkened rooms and bleachers,
Special memories take my hand,
And guide my heart to the reasons why I need you.
As long as I can dance the dance of both worlds,
Tread that fine line and remember my lies,
You'll be mine, and I'll be yours.
What I FeelHave you ever burned an incense cone or wand,What I Feel8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
And afterwords,
It's so light and only a fragile form of ash?
The slightest touch disintegrates it,
Sending it to fall down,
And becoming too much to clean…
I feel like that.
Have you ever broken a glass jar,
Just enough to see the shatter-lines,
But it still retains its shape?
The slightest touch will destroy it,
Causing it to release glimmering daggers,
Waiting to be stepped on for their revenge…
I feel like that.
Have you ever touched a frozen layer of water,
Tried to lift it from the bowl,
Tried to keep it from breaking it's original crystal form?

Thoughts on SeperationWhoever said that getting over someone or "breaking up" is easier if you "rip it off like a band-aid", lied. It hurts more to let time infect your wounds and weigh down your heart with doubt and worry.Thoughts on Seperation9 months ago in Emotional More Like This
Unless of course it's completely necessary; every story/relationship is different.
Take time to talk and relate, and gently settle the other down because both of your hearts are fragile.
And it's never generous to leave a person broken for someone else to clean up, whether that be that person themselves, a friend, family, or another person who cares…Don't let time make it worse, let it settle. Nothing has to be as dramatic as everyone s

Watching his wild lover shake,
Her mind tormented by two separate souls,
One wild, one tame,
Both to fight for their own name.
Chained to bedpost,
Clawed hands bound behind,
Her hair fell across her weary face,
Her eyes burning with fire found in cats alone.
Crouching near her panting form,
He brushed her hair from her face,
A small smile twists his lip,
And his eyes trace her shivering skin.
"What do you want from me?!" She whispers hatefully,
"What are you going to do? Destroy me like the others of my blood?
"I never knew you hunted my kind!" She spat at his feet,
Her teeth glaring in the bedroom li

I was given a potion.
A tampered bottle labeled "Awkward".
It seems I can't escape the side effects,
And I always do something…well..awkward.
Maybe, I never should have gotten online after realizing…
Maybe I should have left and stopped writing…
Maybe, when I thought of him, and stopped hurting over you…
I should have let go.
Logged off.
Stopped writing and vanished into reality.
But I couldn't…I live through my words…my arts…
I couldn't let go and forget everything…
And you almost never log on because of your new life…

The Curse of The Flame PrincessDo you ever hear stories about that one girl with a curse?The Curse of The Flame Princess7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
How she loved with all her heart,
Gave a piece away every day,
And received so little in return?
Her curse was her heart.
Because once she finds someone she loves,
Her blood begins to burn like a dragon's tongue,
Her breath short and tight,
Her skin shivering and writhing like a snake's impatient skin.
Her heart was her curse.
Because whenever her love would hold her close,
A hug was comforting and warm,
A small kiss was hot and sweet,
And she could feel the fire rising her in her soul,
The lava that was her blood building up and threatening.
She feared nothing more,

It pulls my lips into a smile that I can't control.
There's something there that draws the laughter from my chest,
And centers my attention in a way I haven't felt in a while….
I pull away and shake my head.
Press it against the chilled stone wall.
Close my eyes and remember.
Close my eyes and remember…
The pain from before,
The scars left behind,
The reason for the need to escape….
I can't do this…not again….
It would probably be best if I locked up my heart,
Muzzled it and tied it up,
Restrained and hidden from the breaking star-light.

Forcing me, reminding me,
How much I need your touch.
You ignite my blood,
And scar my neck with tempting burns,
I fear if too much is revealed,
Your love will disintegrate my soul.
Please try to understand,
that you are what burns my thoughts at night,
You are mine, and everyday, I become so much closer to losing my name,
Sweet, tempting, smirking man, I crave your special touch.
Hold me closer, still,
With every thrum of your heart,
My flame grows brighter until,
I become fire itself.
No PDANo PDA,No PDA7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
NO PDA...
If only they knew what it is like to love someone forbidden...
We cannot love at home...
We cannot love at school...
Where are we to hide our affections?
The shadows I suppose,
will keep our secrets faster than that of spiteful teachers' lips...
No PDA,
NO PDA...
If only they knew what it's like to need someone you cannot possess...
To have an unpredictable foundation of life,
Knowing, that if caught, everything would fall...
Existence, extinguished...
No PDA,
At least where they can see,
I am fighting for something of worth,
to love both worlds known to me...
No PDA,
At least where they can see.
