They desire a longing
A longing for that tender sweet bond
The bond of the scarlet river
That flows from within
It is what keeps their hearts
Beating in their caged chests
For without the blood
They could not live
They are bonded by the rogue
Aspiring throughout their souls
For it is what makes them become
Identical as oath brothers
Crimson marks tear up the past
With a small river flowing down
Downward from the crystal eye
The eye of all things known
Emotions are only expressed
Through the pounding of this blood
That never ceases to be
Actualized deems
Their passionate desire
Bursts from within
To crave and taste

The Shades Of My Eyes
Emerald:
Treading along a path of healing
Within an aura of rejuvenation
Restore the strongest force of life
Renew these weakening limits of mine
Devotion has no means to an end
There is only hope and strength to be lent
-
Azure:
Just like the void called the sky
Even the clouds don't hinder sight
A storm could be brewing
And lightning could be striking
But there is no fear dwelling
Only a calm, tranquil feeling
-
Violet:
A rarity itself
An enigma that stands out
A peace that transcends
An energy that ascends
A strong person who is still only human
An outcome of living within the moment

It's not about "emotionally unstable."
It's not about "lonely" or "sad."
It's not about "depression," even.
It sure as hell isn't about "love." as far as I'm concerned love can go fuck itself.

What it's about is the fact that people need something to live for.

I believe I see the world through a glass wall, or box. I think box fits better. I think I'm pounding on the walls and they pass me, only to lay an empty compliment or a weak smile in my presence and continue to walk past my cage.

His eyebrows tighten and his eyes furrow with dismay. He watches the last of my hair blow into the white scene. He kisses my forehead and suddenly I feel better.

Dream BoatDream Boat1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
I sail away past the stars,
Where no one can hurt me,
On an iridescent boat,
It's timbers seeming to
Shine with every color
As the water parts
Against its prow.
The night is quiet
As I lay there,
And I relax and rest,
For there I am safe.
And there everything
Seems perfect, and everlasting.
There a tear is never shed,
Nor words said in anger.
There is love humbly shared,
And proven faithful.
And then without a sound,
The illusion brakes as
Light creeps o'er the horizon,
And I feel the bitterness
Of another dream lost
To this flawed reality.
Song in the SilenceSong in the Silence1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
The silence is deep,
Not a breath,
Not a sound.
The silence of anticipation,
It begs for satisfaction,
A wishful voice,
Though not a voice at all.
Then out of the silence,
I hear a sound,
A single note,
Simple yet sweet,
It reverberates through the hall.
Then another comes in,
A perfect fourth,
Its voice a triumphant call.
One by one more come in,
Their voices echoing off the walls,
And harmony is found.
Then melody comes in
And awes the crowd
With her graceful steps
And angelic voice.
She dances 'cross the stage,
A whirl of brilliant color,
Capturing every gaze.
Then with a flash of light,
It ends,

My heart is unusual,
it stays deep within,
when in reality it's just,
beneath flesh and skin.
My heart is unusual,
too bitter for it's age,
and one too many people believe,

My heart is unusual,

My heart is unusual,

It would be set to the tempo of your heartbeat
Sung in the melody of your skin
Played in the key of your laugh
If my life were a painting
It would be laid on the canvas of your hands
The paint the color of your eyes
The brushes made from the whispers of your soul
If my life were a drink
It would taste of the warmth of your embrace
Its smell as sweet as your touch
Its effect that of your lips on mine
But even the most intricate of tunes
Even the most vibrant of artwork
Even the most intoxicating of drinks
Will never rival the blinding beauty that is your smile

Caught
Forever
In my throat.
Dried blood
Clogs their pathway
To my pen
To my paper.
Why is this so hard?

They're just words.
All you have to do
Is reach down
Into your throat
Down
Near your heart
And carefully,
So,
So carefully,
Rip them from your soul.
But I can no longer find it.
That sweet
Sweet spot
Right at my core.
It's dried up.
Dried blood
Is blocking my path
As I walk
And I bend to scrape at it.

“It’s…Over…” I stated, glancing to the side. I stared at the carved up desks because I couldn’t look at him; I didn’t want to see his face. The face that I used to love and cherish, become distorted with pain and a sudden wave of sadness. The seconds ticked by with no response. I was sure that he must have taken the news badly but I mustered up the courage to turn my head in his direction. I was glancing up through my eyelashes with a frown. I knew that if I stared at him straight in the face, I'd break down. I didn’t want to do that.

The land of lost hopes is real
and in this country's heart
when you arrive
just be kind to yourself
and leave dreams behind
a land of despair is real
and much too close for comfort
The one I love is trapped there
and I'm reaching out a hand
to pull him close to me
For out there will only kill him
and I cant let that be
So come my love
So come to me

Not only that, but is it acceptable to the normal, everyday child?
Cosplaying, or costume-play, is an activity inspired by Asian culture, so to say.
Quote from Wikipedia: "Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure?), short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea."
Cosplayers often dress up as their favourite character from an anime, manga (Japanese comic), or even a film. It is a fun practice that involves picking a charact

You've shown me that there's nothing to fear,
As long as you're by my side, that is.
We'll run away from our pasts.
Together, this happiness will last.

bridge of mourning—

rippling plains of remembrance.

I lean beside

heaps of wood

pirouettes fall
in time to blurry
rivers
and irises plead
only as allowed:
moisturizing this
shell of
splintered skin.
