Poetry

Wire teeth Frame a smile Pulling up corners Like a curtain Let the show begin Feather plumed lips Fall into a pale face With cheekbones of glass Each jutting out Ragged yet beautiful Stained glass eyes Gleam in refracted shards Color shines through Empty yet bewitching A gate into a hollow soul Spider web hair Brushes her face In the breeze Shifting and changing eternally Soft as silk And fine as diamonds Here you are The portrait girl They love you for Your eyes They love you for Your smile They love you for All the wrong reasons Until you die inside

Dark hands Reach for you Suffocating, drowning But yet you see There is nothing I can do Water rushing up All around you A dark embrace Never letting go Just another puppet In a marionette show Puppets dance Jointed dolls twirl Then fall Broken limbs, empty eyes A shattered face A ruined disguise Strings plucked Dark hands stream The chords of your soul Any moment to break To fall back to earth Just the devil’s stake ...

“I am done being scared” She said Picking herself up defiantly “I won’t be pushed around anymore I’m gonna be the toughest girl around” She balls her tiny fists And looks me in the eye I just feel old Looking the avatar of defiance Right in the eye I sigh sadly At the visage of a girl Going done a difficult path “You don’t have to be tough You just have to be smarter Than them to win” I say sitting in a chair I feel so tired “No” She says flexing And unlacing her fists That should never know The feeling of anger or hate Her faces tightens As she shakes her head vehemently “I will show them I am not just some stupid girl” She is angry now But so am I “Well maybe you are just some stupid girl What then What if you can’t change” I yell at her “What if you are stuck forever Just being that dumb girl With the angry fists What then When all they see is a girl with Hate coiled in her eyes and A fist for a heart” She looks at me With shattered eyes And the beginning of tears “I’m sorry” I say desperately As I reach for her To cradle her sadness away “I didn’t mean-” She turns and runs away Leaving me with open arms As I watch her run But for a moment She stops Turns back to me With a pinched face And defiant eyes “You’re wrong” She whispers Those two tiny words Ring in my ears Ricochet through my brain And she is gone I sit back Rub my weary eyes And sigh “I hope you’re right”

This is a part of s strange poem I wrote. I think I have an idea branching off of this for an actual story. I will continue to work on it. Everyone comes to me And I say tell me your sad song You look upon me With pleading eyes looking to be strong They look for hope out of desperation So tell me tell me Why you cry so loud at night Help me see ...

The woman sits Her third eye gone blind Once one with sight Is cursed and damned She foretold a world Without boundaries Filled with hate and despair Where man turned against His brother and sister A fate wound tight With deception and fear So they gouged out her eyes And sealed her fate Out of fear disguised As anger and hate But she could hear Through their petty lies They were scared Of this world foretold And decided instead To kill the messenger Two birds with one stone She could see everything But nothing at all She didn’t even see Her own decided fate Sealed by a hand that quaked She could hear the dead talking And the living moan But the simple prophet Just wished to be left alone To abandon her burden And simply go home She wanted nothing But received the world Balanced delicately Atop her head One step One mistake Could mean a great fall Under the weight She faltered And spilled out her words Meant only for gods Not the poor common soul So she was punished Forever to be the damned prophet Of a forgotten age But an unforgettable name The seer with no sight Just a girl A child Given the gift of night Filled with shadows and deceit That waited ever patiently For just the right time She is now a woman With a regret And a third eye gone blind

A blossom bloomed Opening slowly Shyly Showing it’s new found beauty Opening to the sun Reaching up high To the bright blue sky Not knowing That the sun Doesn’t always shine When the rain comes The blossom wilts Hiding its beautiful face Turning from the pain The heavy drops Weigh it down Pulling away It’s beauty Petal by petal Until nothing is left The blossom Lays broken Shredded on the ground In its place A bud pokes through A new chance A new face A new beauty As a blossom blooms

Come take my hand and lets fly away fly away from here lets find a world without the constant of noise and death we will stand together on the brink of insanity with out hands held tight and we will never let go bear with me the pain of the coming years when I grow distant pull me back down when I become darkened be my only light when everything is just too much be my simple love lets watch the world burn from atop our aeroplane held up by strings so thin it could cut be careful you say the world isn’t our toy to play oh how right you are we are the toys of a globe spun too fast where reality and insanity come frighteningly close lets fly fly away put your hands over my ears protect me from the onslaught of the world’s words be the barrier between the world and me save me whisk me away so we can forever fly away

I stand above a river On a thin plank of wood Below the rapids rage Above the sky is blue I hold my arms out As if I could fly I squeeze my eyes shut And imagine what it is to die How easy would it be To totter off to one side Loose my balance and fall Into the churning waters Would anyone notice Would anyone care If I jumped Would I scream From fear or the rush The finality of it all Would I smile As time seems to erase When you fall For a moment you fly The wind rushing past your face And then there is nothing at all So I open my eyes And let out a sigh Put one foot in front of the other And start to move forward again Slowly but surely Across this balance beam Thin as a knife Only the pure can make it Only the true survive Am I strong enough Or will my sin Cause me to take That final dive Walking on a knifes edge This is my final test To put one foot in front of the other And never look down To balance on my shoulders The worlds good and evil And never loose my footing So I keep my head held up high Eyes only on my goal Of redemption In the blood red sky

I stand alone But never truly alone I see myself in the mirror But it doesn’t follow me It shakes a finger Laughing I wave it waves Copies me but not me I wonder if it is Another world Boring world All you do is copy others Sounds familiar Mimic me Let me see Show me the greatest you can be Not much It steps from the mirror A barren lake She grabs me pulling me through Her eyes empty and black Lifeless Hair tattered, a mess Skin pale and sticky Blood She pulls me into the water Drowning in her arms Mimic me, mimic this Take my breath a deadly kiss Drowning slowly It laughs at me Your mine now She whispers into my ear ...

Not my normal style, but I will try it. Here is a happy poem. I hope you take heart to what I am saying, take a step back, look at yourself and ask, “When did my eclipse being?” Take a peak behind that curtain. Lift your feet And make a wish Close your eyes And feel the world Without touching Or searching Just know As you have always known Your heart beats With the worlds heartbeat Breathe out your worries And breathe in consciousness Let it cleanse your soul That has wilted and withered Let it go Let it go You can still be free Let your chains fall And sigh out the darkness That has gathered Around your heart Threatening to suffocate you To drown you in doubt To snuff out the brilliance Of your individual soul Feel the breeze Brushing through your hair Kissing your skin And know You are alive And you are lucky The world lies in front of you With a big red bow Sitting patiently on top Yes child It is in reach But to reach it You have to Step out of the eclipse Shadowing your life Look beyond What fate has decreed Make your own destiny Don’t listen to them They don’t know They can’t understand What the world truly is They are blinded By pride and foolishness They don’t know What the world whispers Late at night When no one is listening But I listen So raise your arms up And scream out loud Through your head back Laugh a little louder Put a little bounce into your step Smile from ear to ear A real smile From the bottom of your heart Make a wish To never again Fall into the eclipse To never be a victim Of the darkness again Wish for a world Full of sun kisses And rose petals falling Wish it Believe it Make it real
