Summer
Waves that crash against
the rocks that lie in the shore
coming and going.
Did you know my tears
still flow as the river does
searching the ocean?
Floating through the water
as dreams do during the night
leaving no traces.
If the stars do shine
with the light of million years...
My dreams in them live.

~Mid-Steptember~
I open my eyes and see the forest scene greet me
Leaves guide me to the place where we'd always meet
As I follow the elaves, I see you standing there in all your perfection
We walk toward each other in rythmic movement
Sparks fly when our fingertips meet
[Chorus: Mid-Steptember days oh how I miss your scene
Your orange sun makes me long for your arrival
Wanting the picture perfect evenings you bring to me
Originality only comes from you
Mid-September, will you wait for me? Do you miss me?]
Fog covers us but city lights illuminate the dark
As we lay down on the moist grass, you whisper something to me I haven't he

EMOtionA smile is just a frownEMOtion1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Turned upside down.
Just a lie we all paint on
To hide the truth we have locked inside.
We promise we are ok.
We promise nothing is wrong
So we smile and hide our pain
And sing a cheery song.
But the truth is we're dying inside.
And we don't think we can make it through another night.
And the scars that lie across our wrists.
Are there as proof of our fight.
People judge us,
Say we're sick.
But maybe if they'd look past our scars,
They'd stop acting like complete dicks.
So save you comments, and your lies.
We do not need them
For we are stronger than you think.
We have emotion and that is our strengt

Sam and Freddie were in the iCarly studio, that evening, all alone: Carly decided to bring Cort to the Space Needle, since he love elevators so much, and Spencer was on a date with the museum chick.
Sam looked at him, shaking her head " Come on, have you seen him? Have you seen his abs? "
" Sam, I'm a guy. I really don't care about other boys' abs "
The girl pretended to be shocked " You're a guy? Really? That's surprising! "

It was a crisp autumn morning that just barely let the sun's ray of warmth leak through the the cracks in the dark clouds that had just finished losing a few of it's drops of water.
Cars were splashing in all sorts of puddles and people were closing their umbrellas as they worried less about getting wet and returned rushing back to their original worries. I was worrying more than others though.
It turns out that I forgot to set my alarm and Bubbles didn't wake me up. She's snoozing right now in my Essencent Palette. My heels were tapping against the clean marble floor in an empty hall that would be flood

Alone in bed
Feeling so lovesick
I wanna drop dead
Take me on a wild ride
Don't want my midnight to die
I can be your princess
And you can be my prince
We don't have to go nowhere
Just wanna see your smile
Head over heels for you
I'm falling down, breaking apart
I know our love is so true
Deeply, madly in love with you
Take me on a wild ride
Don't want my midnight to die, tonight.

What is Love?
By Karlavanessa Scadutto
Love can make you blind
Love can help you see
Oh Sir, wont you please console me?
Love can destroy your very heart
Love can repair the damage done
Sir, Madam? is this lie a truth?
Love can harm you
Love can protect you
Love is frightful
Love is brave
It's the only thing I truly seem to crave
Love is what will make you pray
" Please make these horrid feelings fly away!"
Love betrays those whom you protect
Love may destroy your life
Love can turn your dreams to dust
It may even make you lose

Stop worrying, about what'll happen.
Don't look at the past, and don't strive for the future.
Live in the today.
Live in the now.
Dont worry about anything else except that you have a life.
You have your life.
You have to live that life.
Dance, draw, write, express yourself, cry, smile, love, live, eat, work, and play.
Why, care about anything else.
Why strive for the future when you cant even live in the present.
The world is for everyone, so make it yours.
No more regrets.
No more regrets.
No more regrets.
Live..........just enjoy it

as she scales my crystal walls
a gift from all the powers in heaven
a terror come to take it all
She slings her net out in my waters
she gathers hopes and dreams like fish
and cooks them in her inner fire
'til I can't remember what I've missed
Lucky her to be so gorgeous
as she lays her hands on me
lucky that I cannot slay her
for destroying all I've hoped to be

She slaves atop her kit
Rattling under the haze of the saxophone’s fit
It wafts with ease
Through the crowd to appease
Crawling into the alley so everyone may see
Devotion
Births her erratic percussion
Forever locked, within a bassists baritone discussion
His eyes long fallen shut
All so the wild dresses may dip and strut
This quest of youthful and fiery elation
Gains moment with blues ridden infatuation
They proclaim arrival
Exceed beyond survival
Sliding into this excursion
Battling his now fading rivals
None shall speak!
Unless it is exile you seek
As this disheveled madman, tears into the groove

To appease my closest kin
I move what is left within my control
My exuberance fleeting and all too soon spent
Straining to look vibrant!
Yet I tilt at the whim of death
Shifting, as the earth pulls away
Tearing aimlessly into a newborn day
Straining to hold…
As acceptance casually descends
Faltering slow, as winter commands
“You’ve squandered your time”
The tide coldly beckons
Swallowing, the wasted remnants of what was
“There is no longer a need to stir my child
For this heroic calm is here to stay”

LostThere's an old man out thereLost3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Out upon the angry seas
Who sits upon a mossy rock
And sways with every breeze
His back is old and wrinkly
Bowed over with heavy weight
And yet he has no burden
Keeping hold of him; must be fate
For he has a silver trail of something
Scrawled along his hunchback shoulders
A trail of crushed dream moon dust
As he sits upon sea boulders
There's a shimmer and a glisten
And I can see within the light
A set of something so much cleaner
Something pure in the night
For there were once a set of golden wings
Etched upon his soul
And once he forgot about them
They too lost control
And far away from the shore

It is a switch,
it turns on with a flick.
It is a twitch.
I can't stop the flinch.
You won't see it coming,
It will leave you fumbling.
You will see yourself tumbling,
while I am left trembling.
It strikes like a snake,
but can be calm as a lake.
It is not something you'll be able to take,
It will leave you dazed in my wake.

Forget what Fate has planned for me
Forget what Time has thought
I am too thirsty for her flesh
This goddess Life has wrought
This goddess meant for naught but I
To tear my heart until I cry
To be released from Lust so red
It set sweet fire to my bed
Do not desert me, shattered Soul
These eyes are not for rest
I promise to eat up your light
Until you acquiesce
A stifled sigh before a scream
A purple lash, a breast of cream
All tiny Souls are born to fall
Their worth, once great, is none at all
The Dawn is stretching; see her lie
So still, so lifeless ‘cross the sky

Run your finger over the jagged edge
the blade made
when it tore through
where the heart used to be.
Stop.
Deep, shallow breaths tickle
the bottom of your
endless mind.
Start.
Delve into the depths of the wound
his razor words created.
He made you accept
that succulent poisoned dessert
presented on a silver platter
made especially for Queens.
Stop.
Lick the salty tears
gathering on the brim of your
bruised and swollen lip.
Taste the sorrow of every
darkened thought
that ever touched his mind.
Start.
Flail helplessly as you try to escape:
The Past;
The Present;
The Future.
Stop.

My love is the definition of murder.

faraway,
the island I spend my nights on
starts to shed light on
what I'm looking for
cannot settle for love anymore
cannot make that my only goal
so I might lose you
so I might leave you cold,
without a single word
but someday is coming soon
when I'll slow down and feel the ground I try to float above

Make what is good
Into bad, and yet you say,
You are doing as you should.
But what you are really afraid of,
What you truly, deeply fear …
I am growing and changing, far above
Anything you imagined, and the time is near.
Beneath that filthy, beating bosom
Lies a weakened, deteriorated heart.
As is with the custom,
I will tear this all apart.
The monster you created,
Come to break your stone walls down.
I leave you with your desecrated
Shell of a human self, without a sound.
I venture into the world,
A vengeful beast
From broken parts, unfurled,
Bent on destruction, a veritable feast.

Pictures fragment and shatter only to dance across the air and be born anew, into something unknown and wonderful, something terrible and frightening
Scenes of long sense past are now brought to the surface, to be remembered and enjoyed, to be contorted and feared

Terrors and phobias paraded before all to see, raining down acid colors, to burn and taint the dreams of all

Even just a touch.

Not on the lips.

On the neck.
On the cheek.
Even when you're gone.
They remind me of the pain.
Even when you're gone.
I feel the spaces between my fingers.
The ones that were filled by yours.
I feel the water in my lungs.
Your helping hand to comfort mine.
I see the faces.
People I once loved but no more.
I feel the darkness.
Where we hugged.
Where we closed our eyes.
Then the darkness within me.
