AT THE CLIFF'S EDGEAT THE CLIFF'S EDGEAT THE CLIFF'S EDGE3 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The waves rolled in with the soft breeze,
And on I looked feeling rather pleased.
For the edge of the cliff was where I was perched,
When I saw myself suddenly lurch.
I felt my heartbeat slow as I fell,
Beating as if it were now a knell.
But the fear I felt soon was none,
And I calmly watched as the world spun.
A smile crept across my face
As I finally neared my resting place.
I knew that this was meant to be,
For who really, truly needed me?
In this life, I was no one.
Then I realized the world had won.
I closed my eyes as I approached the scree,
And said hello to the sea.

The alarm rings, the blanket falls;
The dark barks, my mother calls;
And in my bed, I indeed do rise,
To sit stiffly and rub my eyes.
And the alarm rings, the blanket falls.
The light soon pours onto the walls,
And I hurry to shield my poor eyeballs.
The morning came quickly, and I’m still tired.
It is at this time when night is most desired.
And the alarm rings, the blanket falls.
Eventually, I hurry through the dark halls,
To wait outside where the bus driver calls.
On a stick seat is where I sit,
And close my eyes to rest a bit.
And the alarm rings, the blanket falls.
PIRATE SHIPPIRATE SHIPPIRATE SHIP3 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I want to be a pirate ship,
Sailing across the sea.
Never to make a single round trip,
For a pirate’s life is free.
Filled with scallywags loaded to the gunwalls,
Climbing my topgallant, never fearing the fall.
Upon the poopdeck is where the coxswain would be,
Steering the ship and calling out to his crew.
Even he would be acting a bit squiffy,
But still able to sail the ocean blue.
Until the lookout had land in his sight,
My pirates will say “yo-ho-ho” all through the night.

The house was unusually quiet,
So of course, no one expected the sudden riot.
Out she came from her room,
Holding in hand a bucket and broom.
"This house is a mess!" She the declared.
A dreadful groan soon filled the air.
With one look from her and we knew it was futile.
The rest of the day would surely be brutal.
Our objections are typically useless,
For her type of rein was usually ruthless.
No one stood against her scary demeanor,
And by the end of the day, our house was really much cleaner!

James and LewisI had an epic dream last night and decided to write it down cause it was too much fun. In the dream they didn't have names, but I assigned them names based on their personalities.James and Lewis3 months ago in Settings More Like This
James sat at the large round table, keeping his eye on the host of the evening. A short stocky robust man with a large well managed beard. His target conversing with a large group of other guests. If you had put the two of them side by side they could be polar opposites. James was tall and muscular. His face long, his hair short, his clothes pinched to his shape exactly. And always clean shaven.

CHAPTER ONE: FAINE
Debris crumbled away under the dark sky. Night was still hours away, yet the sky was completely blackened. A haze of smoke choked the air, threatening to strangle any life left in the aftermath. All around, homes had been destroyed; their remnants lay toppled over and barely recognizable. The fires had dwindled down to small flickering lights in the darkness as the flames sat atop remnants of a village. Not a single noise sounded to break the defining silence.
The ambush annihilated everything. It happened so fast that there was no time to formulate a counter attack. The Emathrak arrived in overwhelming numb
A Moon Not RisingThe Lord of my child is dead, my child drownedA Moon Not Rising4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
in darkness unyielding.
I have been murdered, my gardens gone.
My body trembles.
Gasping for air I don’t (even) breathe.
Virulent waves of power shreds my skin.
I bleed dust,
my screams unheard, my pain unfelt.
Power ever draws power.
This time, too much was drawn.
Flesh falls from me in chunks,
hurtling down on my shadow’s smooth skin,
not pitted and gouged like mine.
I rain, like my child rained, blood
and destruction upon you.
Unwillingly, I set your world on fire.
One by one, I watch your gardens die.
I smile, knowing that in dying
I am not alone.
As I fall, dying

could easily penetrate
past anyone's skin,
especially mine
being paper thin,
and tunnel deep inside
to the place where one could hide
and tear down what is left,
of that person I once was.
Ugly.
Stupid.
Bitch.

A jewel flitting through the azure sky
Wings beating a frantic rhythm
So full of life.
Stealing nectar from the blooming flowers
Liquid gold to fuel its flight
Dripping sunlight.
Free as a sunbeam and just as bright
Humming with infinite energy
A star in the night.
Raging fierce battles through the dreamy groves
A being both gentle and wild
Nature's golden child.
The purest of souls, old as Time itself
It sits atop the tallest tree
And contemplates eternity.
When the world fades and the light dies away
The last sound that will be heard
Is the song of the hummingbird.

The Key to Dreams
by: HoshiHitode
A simple chain,
A simple key hanging.
For each dream, there is a key.
For each secret, there is a key.
I have lots and lots of keys.
But do you have the key to my key?
I have given you a key.
What does it stand for?
That, my friend, is up to you.
Wear it on a chain around your neck reminding you,
That everyone has secrets.
Put it by your pillows side to remind you
To unlock your dreams potential.
Keys are curious things.
Only the wisest of us know how to use them properly.
They can be found in the most unusual of places,
But are used in the most common of ways.
Keys don’t have to be a piece of metal.
Imperfect HavenInside my mind, I'm somewhere else.Imperfect Haven4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Somewhere real and safe from fear.
One house among so many more,
The one I'm willing to come near.
In this house I can be me,
I can be trusted and be known.
My friends and family there are one
In this peaceful comfort zone.
The more I stay, the less I want
To leave this world of harmony.
Yet I have a fear so strong
That it'd be taken back from me.
I'm glad I have it, here and now,
Imperfect haven, safe and strong.
For now you are the only place
I know I do, in fact, belong.
DumbMy tongue does not rest in my mouth.Dumb4 months ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
My eyes seem to rest on the ground.
My fingers clench my swollen wrist.
My life is a form of hellish bliss.
Music is bleeding in my deafened ears.
Your words seem to voice all of my fears.
I hold on tight despite the pain,
To a life unworthy of the friends I have gained.
I hate the tongue that rests on paper.
I hate my eyes with the sight that has tapered.
I hide the wrists were one scare is hold,
I live in bliss for the death that is foretold.
I will rhyme my days away,
For no one likes poetry anyway.
You can't read my secrets with a byes mind,
You might as well be a blind.
Just a StoryI hold my head high, chest in the air,Just a Story1 month ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Clothed nicely in a vest and boots of a pair.
Hat emblemed with buttons of pride,
I walk strongly with a quick paced stride.
To those I speak I talk with thought,
To those I greet I bow as I ought.
My face is blank with no need of feeling,
For emotions might just bring me to the point of kneeling.
I ready myself for most anything,
Whether it’s a fight or just listening.
I’m determined to be the best I can,
With manners and strength to take a stand.
I’m a story in my own head,
Trying to rid my flaws instead.
But there’s one problem that I have to deal,
I’m just a story, no

Pulling The Plug On Yes
[Ignoramus' Guide To A Heart Monitor]
Action needs no reason
But reaction depends on it;
It's the "I love you" question.
If you say it
For the first time
And the words are returned,
Is silence more sincere?
"No"
Can be more honest than
Mere silence.
Silence, in fact, is articulated
By the word's resonance
Beneath a core
Where only a "yes" will do.
Lay back, nude,
On zephyr cord
Like piano strings
Strung perpendicularly across
A skin's wrinkle;
Just smile
And that will be your "Yes."

Green eyes watched the mage as she stretched upon awakening. Silence. She looked a little confused at first, eyes of the palest blue he had ever seen opening and closing in a series of blinks, shifting around before knowledge dawned on her. Then her eyes took in what she was resting on. He felt her weight shift as she sluggishly rose from his lap and looked at him.

I bit my lip as I went shopping with my husband Ryan. For the past 3 months we have been trying for a baby. We’re newlyweds you see. Got married 7 months ago on December 25, 2012. I’ve been feeling off lately so that means time to buy pregnancy tests. I was nervous as we walked to the planned parenthood aisle. We got to the shelves that held various brands of pregnancy tests.
I bit my lip as we looked at the various brands looking for what looked like the best brand. We finally settled on E-P-T Pregnancy Tests. We grabbed a box of digital that held three tests. I smiled hopefully at Ryan and kissed him. &ldquo
