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,

In my hands…
Barely holding on to my flushed fingertips,
Is a dream.
Just an ordinary day dream,
One held precious and known only to me…
But within this fantasy, is a hidden promise…
A promise and a question,
H e r e
I cup my hands and let the starlight ruffle it's feathers,
Like a bird of thread, with eyes of gold…
Do you understand how fragile it is?
If you unravel it enough, you will find what's left of my heart,
Since I broke it in two for you.
H e r e
Underneath this twilight canvas,
I hold my hands up to you and watch your eyes change,
Don't you understand…

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…
……."We could be"…..

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.

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…
I'm sorry.

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…

Thoughts of FlameWhen your lips touch mine,Thoughts of Flame7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
A fire builds inside,
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.

I sigh as I see my parents sit closer,
My father's firm hands holding my mother's pale shoulders.
Her blond hair draping over their arms like a golden spider's web.
I look across the aisle,
And see other couples together.
All leaning into one another,
Some holding warmed hands,
Tempting crystal smiles.
Here I sit,
Holding hands with a memory of his.
Memories of something sweet,
chilling small places on my neck and cheek,
And a shiver shakes my back,
Lightning cradling my skull and soothing the pressured drum of my heart.
I can't help but remember everything…
And as I sit here,

Curled up on my sinking bed,
Pillows crammed behind my back,
And the crystal screen glaring before me…
A mirror within a mirror,
Onyx lettering returned and sent,
How can I explain how I am,
If even I'm not sure?
I've gone so long feeling dependent on words,
On promises,
Memories and hopeless, countless dreams,
And now?
The pain is nearly healed,
And I don't know how I feel…
Am I stunned because someone cares,
Shocked that I found a "cure"?
Speechless because I can't believe,
I'm freed from myself, it's over?
Even my lustful heart's not sure…
And even now as I bitterly star
SleepI saw a picture online the other day,Sleep7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
It was written with the phrase,
"I want to sleep with you, as in sleep, not sex."
The kind of sleep where your arms are around me,
And your breath thrilling my skin.
I truly understand that,
Because after a night of stressful actions,
Tiring redundancy,
And weakened nerves,
I crave nothing more than your touch,
That stirring feeling that you create in my chest,
That smile when you think something is "cute".
It's true though,
I do wish I could sleep with you,
In a legitimate bed,
With your arm around me,
And your voice humming the song I don't know the words to,
But the tune still makes

Filthy secrets,
Grimy, twisted, dusty secrets.
I have a few and won't whisper a word.
Unless of course you--
Ha, no, I won't tell.
Because what would happen if someone found my secrets…
And held them to my throat?
I can't have them knowing what I think of right before sleep,
Or what I cry for when the shower's tears slide down my back,
I can't have anyone knowing what I truly think…because it can be used against me in the end…
In the end, my trust would be my undoing…
I trust you, don't I?
Would you want to know these smoky words,
The ones I don't dare release from my lips?
But I can't tell y

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

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…

Painted skin, and hushed remarks,

And shift away in expectant shadows.

It doesn't even hurt anymore really..
Really!
I'm fine!
I'm used to this by now!
Hurt by those that mean the most,
Tricked by so many held truthful…
Numbed and poisoned by these hopeful dreams,
That you've unknowingly held in the flame of a melted candle.
These expectant shadows within my mind,
Are warmer than the hushed apologies on your breath.
Do not try to tell me you're sorry,
Don't tell me that, now.
Because I have already hidden from the creatures of my mind,

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'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

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

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

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..
