My Label/ Hi, My Name Is...Sometimes I think I need to wear a label,My Label/ Hi, My Name Is...9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
A sticker,
A collar,
A tag…
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
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&#
Haunted Fields of IndigoWhy do I find myself wandering these haunted fields,Haunted Fields of Indigo8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Following a shadow of a spirit...
Pulled by the barbed wire wrapped around my throat,
and the poison threatening my blood....
Desperate glances behind, remind me,
that I can't help the way I feel...
But why do I find my self confessing my heart's true song,
To a moon that will never hear...
Here I am, my knees bloodied and torn in the dried, tarnished straw,
I can only imagine the luscious taste of sweet moon's light...
But here I am, bound by my love, bound for all eternity,
my love for those who cannot return it to me...
I will never find my way,
out of these haunted fields
You, Just YouYou…..you make me think of,You, Just You8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Soothing lavender-colored cloth,
Twinkling indigo, midnight skies,
The first taste of autumn in a warmed coffee cup,
Hazel scented steam twisting everywhere…
Fiery eyes of gold and dreams of silver hair,
A glinting smile, a smirk….
The softest touch,
And inked vines coiled across softer skin,
Sleeping lilies and koi fish across bronze tinted plates,
And the comforting hand, the reassuring gesture,
For fear of metallic insanity….
Peeking from behind silver scales,
Towering above like sharpened swords,
Smiling to myself,
I watch your careful eye,
The weight of your shoulder against
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?

Is It Really Worth It?Is it really worth it to bully some one?Is It Really Worth It?9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
To put someone down just so you can feel satisfaction,
To make someone feel so little of themselves.
Come on people,
You don't have to do that,
You don't have to beat someone up so you feel better.
Do you know that the words you say hurt?
Do you know that some people can't handle it?
You don't know that person,
You don't know what they are like.
It shouldn't matter what someone looks like on the outside,
Their personality is what matters the most
Because that shows who they are.
It is not worth it to bully.
It's not worth it at all.
If you don't like someone then that is your business,

Where many years ago,
Stood two proud giants
The screaming birds came unsuspecting,
and pushed the giants to the floor.
Now only remains an empty space.
I ask the giant hole,
"Where were the giants that once stood proudly?"
.. And the hole replies,
"It's a part of us, now"

And close my eyes,
I can feel my claws,
My phantom tail weighing on my spine,
The twitching ears perked,
The flattened ridge above a small nose,
Whiskers tingling.
I can imagine everything,
And it feels so weird and amazing and startling and perfect in the same second.
She may have called me a freak, but what I am is more than that.
I am not human, she cannot call me that much for my spirit.
I am feline trapped in a human masquerade,
My slitted irises burning under frosted glass,
And as I close my eyes,
And let you trace my jaw line,
Let you pull back my hair and chuckle,
I'm stuck between two worlds…

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

I hold my hands up to you and watch your eyes change,

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

Standing back and smiling,

I hear a hiss in my ear,

I close my eyes tightly, I grip the edge of the counter, my knuckles white.

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

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

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.

and it's honestly not that bad...
but each individual piece tastes like a memory forgotten,
smokey and warm, like campfires in autumn...
if I close my eyes while the soft skin of the piece melts on my tongue,
I can imagine the crinkle of fire and the sparks of fallen ashes...
the miraculous image of twirling smoke against Orion's Belt...
And the harsh, reawakening sounds of pulling the individual black pieces of wood back into the center, raking the powdery ashes into a circle, and realigning every smokey brick...
And even though we never shared a campfire before, I really would like to..

So go ahead and tie the string,

Tickle, laugh, and trick me, boy,
But you have to know,

Every word is hidden behind the secret sets of stone,

Era Of Silence
Cascading glares swim around my whole body
Searching for some kind of flaw that I might have
But they don't realize that my life is the problem entirely
I can hardly keep on hiding all of the imperfections I secretly grasp
Denial is simple / If you say so
Pretending is impossible / I can't let you know
So I no longer speak for myself
No, not anymore
I feel that I deserve this hell
My pure torture

I'm just too snared by the knives in my back
No one wanted to accept me for who I really was
That's why I had no choice but to put up this wounded act
But I guess that's what the feeling of losing everybody do

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…

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…
