Angel of BlissTwas after an exhausting day,Angel of Bliss7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
she sleeps in peace and comfort.
Done are the day's duties...
done are the day's challenges.
She need not worry about dismay.
She need not worry about distress.
She has someone to refresh her soul.
She has the Angel of Bliss.
Every night, her angel appears.
Every night, she has a friend.
Every night, the angel comes to say
that she is forever protected in her wings.
She appears before her eyes
with bright white wings,
with a bright radiant smile,
with an assuring soft voice.
Her wings, so beautiful and bright,
radiating blissful white with a touch of gold.
They appear so soft, so secure,
so pea

Dancing underneath the moon,
Its shining touch,
Remembrance of life and love,
All to be forgotten,
In the blink of an eye,
as long as the wind whispers on my back,
The howls of the night whispering softly in my ear,
The memories of time gently fading,
The black and white photo dusty and broken,
Slowly aging as time trickles by,
How many minutes go by?
How many seconds have left the serenity?
Will everything be forgotten?
Only Time may tell...
Will

i watch the trees in my front yard sway so gently, i begin to feel myself move slowly with the motion of the wind. it whispers softly in my ear, the way my lover would whisper sweet nothings to me in the early morning. i feel the hair on my neck tickle, and i shiver, as though the wind faintly brushes and kisses my skin tenderly.
my hair dances and twirls gracefully with the cool dawn breeze. i close my eyes and hear your voice all around me. you tell me that you love how passionately crimson my hair is, and that it suits me so perfectly. i laugh, and for a fleeting second, i feel you with me. i open my eyes, and watch

i wish i could say the holometabulous wings inside of me were all real,
but unfortunately they are just a symptom of being open like a book,
never has it been so easy to dismiss myself from my own wheel,
when you live as far up in the clouds as i've known to be easily shook
falling from such great heights is just as it would be to be shocked mid-sleep,
i wish i could have been quicker with my suggestions towards him now,
cowardess has gained me no emeralds in the close past so in spirit of such unrequited leaps,
i should from now on be more forward as to prevent such dark traps and self made scowls

I'll always think there's someone out there who'd treat you better
Who wouldn't need fixing or protecting
Someone who wasn't such an emotional roller-coaster
And when you meet that person...
You'll realize what i've always known.
And you'll leave me.

Sinking down,
Look around,
Slipping through the cracks.
Never knowing,
Where you're going,
Always have to ask.
You never lie,
You touch the sky,
You're never coming down.
Touch the wall,
Leave them all,
Go and wear your crown.
It's all a game,
They're all to blame,
It's never going to end.
So stand up tall,
Stand against the wall,
Prove that you won't bend.
It matters not,
If one is hot,
Only if one is kind.
You can fight,
For what is right,
You're not alone, you'll find.
You can win,
Against this sin,
And you can prove your worth.
Just stand up tall,
Back against the wall,
And throw them to the hearth!

Still Missing YouStill Missing You6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I thought I was past this,
That I was done feeling this way.
But why is it you that I still miss
And think about some days.
It appears you have moved on,
And I thought I did too.
I'm trying to be strong
And figure out what to do.
But I can't stop thinking about it,
Can't help but remember all the fun we had.
A possibility inside my mind has been lit,
And this idea has been driving me mad.
Could there still be a chance for us?
Could we start it up again?
I don't want to leave what we had in the dust,
So what does this mean for us then?
Maybe I should just come right out
And say what has been on my thoughts.
What happened has

Today has been a very heart breaking day. My father, Marcus Aurelius, has past away.
Though, it was because of me that he had died. I had asphyxiated him with a hug.
I feel terrible, but I had to do it. I had to become emperor. I could not let my father pass down the power to Maximus. He told me "You will not be emperor.", "My powers will pass to Maximus, to hold in trust until the Senate is ready to rule once more. Rome is to be a Republic again." I felt horrifically betrayed by the one I loved most. "How could this be" I though to myself. I could not believe this was happening. I, son of Marcus Aurelius and Princ

Trace the silver ripples
of a seashores wrinkled page
Count the auburn stanzas 'tween
the depths of trembling trees
Ride upon the vessel
of a sun-kissed simile.
Open sky-stripped windows
to the sigh of cursive clouds
Shuffle through the metaphors
Awaking through the ground
Slant the sails of poetry
toward continents of sea
Deep into the jungles where
the verses lace the trees.
Catch the winds of free verse
Or the open waves of rhyme
Sift through ocean ballads
where the sunset greets the tide.

lost and I can't see my path through the fog
lost and I can't scream my voice ain't so strong
lost and weak to get back on the peak where i used to be not so long
so long to my dreams .... so long to my soul
I had it once but I lost it all
decisions were taken wrong
actions just spoken in my poem
eyes wide open on the truth
but truth can be hidden if i just move on
but deep in my heart i know the truth
i know am wrong
i know my sins as i know my goods
and the actions i have taken made sins grow even more
forget is not an option
memories will keep dragging me to the bottom

"NO!" He screamed at me as I ran out the door. "I will not shut up, I will not leave you alone!" I ran, and kept running. It was twilight, and my eyes were fogged up with tears as I ran down the sidewalk. As soon as I was out of sight and earshot of his house, I collapsed in a swamp of emotions. I didn't care what I looked like, I'd already been beaten up- both physically and emotionally- and yelled at. My dress was torn at one sleeve and my leggings were ripped along the sides. I had a black eye, a cut lip, a gash on the shoulder where my dress was torn, and was sore all over from running what must have been a mile. I hear

I am not always happy.
I am not always excited.
I am not a machine.
My days are not always bright.
I have my ups and downs.
The truth is...I am human.
I suffer depression.
My relationship is rocky.
I feel so alone.
I toss and turn every night.
Wishing I was never born.
So before you think that I...
Should be smiling every day.
Just remember one thing.
My life is not filled with miracles day by day.

Blue always was slow at dressing up. She never knew what to wear for what occasion. She always told me I had good taste which is why I got a dress custom designed for her for such a special occasion.

If I had a heart
it would always be
baried deep inside of me.
If I had a heart
I would keep it secret,
keep it safe
keep it from all the sweet to take.
Like a dove held too tight

Now there is no heart
there is no heat
there is no home;
just a bed for my sleep.

And I hate the way you love me
But you don't.
I can trust you with everything,
Except you.
You make me laugh without trying,
The stupidest things making my day.
And your smile.
God, I love that smile.
That adorable, goofy, lopsided
Heart-breaking smile.
You're my best friend.
It would be easier if you weren't.
It would be easier
If you were just the friend
Of a friend of a stranger,
Because maybe then
I wouldn't have dared to dream.
Like a modern-day Icarus
I spread my hopes too high.
I was warned about kids like you.
Best friends and lovers do not mix.
