Halo Effect
Come down divine
Beauty
And scatter around me
Render me worthy
Of this agony and
Dig into me slowly
Time and time around
I see...
And I feel
So ugly around you
Come down divine
Beauty
Make your flawless image
Rain down before me
To baptize this sinful eye of mine
Time and time around
I see
All the things that make you perfect
The surface broken rotten
Shattering this mirror
And cutting through my unclean skin
Leaving bloody trails behind
And the image you reflect
Turns out to be a halo effect
Come down divine
No strings to make you fly this time
What does it feel like when there's
Nothing left to hide

The Hour of the Wolf
3am, the Wolf's Hour - and I am lost.
Weaving shadows thread in an arachnids net,
Suspended before his eyes, my soul's tossed,
Inverting from within, meaning's silhouette.
The Wolf's rule is law - The arbiter of sleep:
Nothing is sacred- childhood hopes nor fear.
From a parliament of dreams no tyrant reaps,
Hallucinogenic leers serve to domineer.
Held in his grip by the abyss, I toss
I turn; yearning the end of the nocturne.
While most men lie with nature's nurse - Oh Loss
Feral hunt by Gabriel's Hounds; end my turn!
The thousand eyes of night, by day turn one,
While by stencilled stars, the wolf awaits in

ending during the descent of the moon.
The dragon that consumes its barbed tail,
the sands of time, and wheel forever turning.
Unconscious is the flow, ascension.
Mindless is the resistance to the wheel.
But in vain, your useless endeavor ends.
It is the sand that slips through your fingers.
Nothing lies behind, but these pale memories.
What exactly is the meaning of this?
You have made life a thief and murderer.
You let the weak be denied and fall behind.
A Question buried in the cold sands
and a thousand Answers we left below.
Taste of AshTaste of Ash2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Taste the ash
The ash on your tongue
The ash born from the flames that once burned within you
You were once this flame
Blinded by the fires
The heat consumed you
But they are gone now
They died with you
They died with your will
Your will to live
Your will to breathe
Your will to see the sunlight, or even moonlight
You say you are trapped within these shadows
But there are no shadows here
There would have to be light for there to be shadows
Shadows are dark, but so is ash
Taste the ash
The ash from inside you
FallingFalling2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I think I'm falling. Falling into a great dark abyss.
I've been there before but I made it out.
But I'm afraid that I'm teetering on the edge once again.
One small push in the wrong direction and I will fall, fall deep and fast. Back into the darkness, back into torment.
I can see the clouds forming over my internal sun.
I can see my light disappearing behind the thick black clouds, that are threatening to wash me away.
I can only see a sliver of light, a sparkle of hope. But the foreboding darkness is suffocating all thoughts of hope and happiness and masking them with darker thoughts.
The whispering insanity is ever present in th
Battle I've not fought beforeLying there across the floor,Battle I've not fought before4 years ago in Other More Like This
Spread eagle- arms stretched wide,
Face aghast, just can't believe,
The one I trusted lied.
The path I tread is filled with blood,
And all I see is black,
Whispering voices in my head,
I see the things I lack.
'Tis is a battle I've not fought before,
Not in all my life,
Walking down the blood-stained floor,
Past the weary strife.
Ghosts rattle chains as I walk past,
Calling out my name,
Deathly voices sing to me,
And I am left with shame.

Your single smile
Is all I need
To let me know
I'm allowed to be happy
Your single smile
Is all I need
To know I made you feel better

To make me want to hit you

Is all I need
To know I don't wanna know
What you're thinking
Your single smile
Forces my single smile
To where we smile together
Laying together
Enjoying each other
As we both smile
I Miss YouI Miss You2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
I miss your…
Touch, so gentle so sweet so inviting
I never wanted you to let me go
Smile, so big and bright from ear to ear
That led to my smile that I couldn't get rid of
Eyes, that pretty bright brown when the light hit them
When I told you keep still so that I could look at them
Feeble attempts to be smarter than me
We both know I was the brains of this operation
You were there to look pretty
I miss talks had and talks to be had
I miss asking you if you wanted food
And then getting you a plate
I miss the look on your face
When I was having my candy or chocolate fix
I miss pretending I didn't wanna hold your hand

One day I'll find you, and – for evermore – you'll never be quite the same again.
You'll learn to hate mirrors, or any other reflective surfaces, because you simply won't be able to bear looking at yourself. Every time you close your eyes I promise you that there, in the darkness, will be a faint glimmer. And that glimmer is your soul. Why is it faint? It's dead, of course. Don't you remember?
Ha. How could you possibly forget?

Or rather, five pieces of string, deposited on her desk over a week. She didn’t find out until long after how they’d gotten onto her desk in the first place.
She thought the first one, a heart made of a two-inch snip of thread, had been a rare thoughtful gift from her brother. When questioned, he’d asked her politely if she was crazy.
Not her brother, then.
It was followed the next day by a simple picture of a sun, draped in vibrant orange thread across one of her papers. In the mail that afternoon was a panorama of a mountain range, silhouetted against a gorgeous sun

but tied by my own hand.
Trapped within her eyes,
barricaded in my mind.
My heart cries out,
my soul screams to up above.
My mind is shot and set ablaze
by this never-quenching love
This mark I draw upon my arm,
a brand, a seal on my heart
and I live in fear to tell her
lest our friendship draw apart.
I'd draw my hands together
and go down on my knees.
begging her to love me
crying "baby, please!"
My heart cries out for release
my soul keeps it inside.
every time she asks if I'm okay
I cringe and know I've lied
My heart cries out,

One day i was walking, walking down the street.
Saw a pretty girl, gorgeous as can be.
When i met her, I lost my beat
I loved her, anyone could see.
We hooked up, got together
Both knew the other, never would leave
When I was with her, my heart was a feather
When she left I couldn't believe
Angel of Darkness, Angel of Love
She flew right by me, just like a dove
She entered my life, then left it again
Now I'll never, live through the pain
Then again, I'm walking down the road
Carrying in my heart, A heavy load
Then I saw, again my love
She was on her Ex like a glove
Angel of Darkness, Angel of Love
She flew right

Recently someone floored it and sped away
Without directions or map
I'm speeding down roads I've never been on
Yet they seem so familiar
Darkness engulfs me
I can't see were I'm going
But there's a light in the distance
I aim for the light
But as it come closer my eyes begin to focus
I slam on the brakes
But its too late
I've killed every ounce of control I had in my life

It wasn't long after Ashley had fallen asleep on Justin's back when an explosion could be heard from in the trees of the forest.
Ashley sat up hearing the sound and looked over only to see that the explosion was not far off. It wasn't long after she had awoken when one of the Unicorns who had been watching for the hunters came galloping over. He was bloody and he collapsed before the Shadow Unicorn.
"Run, you all must run! The hunters have found us, we no longer have the freedom we once had!" The unicorn said.

"At least a hundred." The unicorn replied weakly.

This lovely night of ours
Drifting through the clouds above
Collecting all the stars
My darling, close your tired eyes
And dream your sacred dream
Soul within the verdant realm,
Your body safe with me
Our Mother Moon, your sleeping form
She watches night and day
Never alone, the Forest Lord
Walks with you all the way
Bear and Saber prowl the ground
The Owl and Crow above
Our blades are sharp, our land is strong
You need not fear, my love
The blinding light that marks the day
Reigns over all save when
The ever shining sun does set
And night is ours again

Leaves were falling around her as she sat there waiting. Waiting for him. Some of the leaves were orange like his hair, some still slightly green like fresh lettuce, some red like strawberries. Or like blood...
No, she shouldn't think about it! He would surely come back! Surely... She sighed, not knowing how to keep her mind from thinking all this stuff... He would come back... he had to! But would he? She was so unsure, this whole relationship was so unsure.
She sighed again and got up from the bench, walking away, through the bleeding trees, away from the place holding so many memories.

Lifting my head from the algebra homework I'd been pouring myself over I saw everything was slightly doubled. I blinked a few times and rubbed my eyes trying to clear my vision. It was then that I decided that it was time for a break anyway.
I hobbled in a sloppy drunken manner, bouncing on one foot over towards the phone that was sitting on the night table by my bed. I was out of the wheelchair since Friday and using crutches. I'd spent a week and a half in that wheelchair and with the brace on my wrist; I felt I could handl

Growling I rolled over and buried my face deep into my down stuffed pillows and tried one more time to let sleep slip back in. Unfortunately that didn't seem to be an option. My brothers insistent snoring was doing a fine job in aiding the meddling sun in pulling me away from my sleep.
I gave a grunt as I lifted my head and set my unconscious brother Alexander in a spiteful glare. He was completely out. His tangled bronzed hair burned bright orange in the morning sun, maki
