American I am a student. / I learn and wish to take in / And with what I can, / I shall create.
Her eyes were smolder, Black thick charcoal, Coating her fire burning A thousand days of sun. It seems a wonder Her skin was milk, Not tanned hide From the scorch She held. Always a lover But never in love. The idea she longed for, But to have - ended longing Therefore she never took. In dreams with pining Was her fun. The very tongue of lust, She was the taste, The desired delicacy. Stolen away Were the many hearts Of men from youth to elder. She held them in Her swollen grin As if to say I own you. The affairs were best, No better test Than to abrade the strings of love. And when she won, (She always won) She claimed sweet scandal, I own you

Intro Part 1: I own you.
The two voices speaking Rapid faints Like the worker boys behind darkened scenes Lovers quiet We could hear you Gasping up for air Swiftly sounding in the sheets deep close in despair Why were you there Why could I fear The dying drums of living souls Beating down upon my ribs Feeling violence Seeking silence Among those fleeting So drowned and Why was I the sips so deep Beneath the bottle That called you mine You were what once Was inside My hearts beating cloud To represent them aloud You weren’t scared Were you sacred Were you lost in doubt Or were thoughts tried For fleeing blessed cries We all knew But I kept quiet As you spoke her Last remaining sighs *Where was your mind As I passed by your streaming sidelines Glancing few at the moments left As a clock counted down The remaining minutes of your depth Of field below my body, my fingertips Her thighs and smiles and swollen lips* Who was it you looked at, her or I? Who was it to bite the sweet Apple of your eye.

When My Lover Loves Another
Why is it when people look To be someone else They see the admirable qualities, Nothing short of perfection. Spawning jealousy, Playing down the flaws Even when overcoming The beauty, They see themselves And look at how they Fall short of talents And character. Why is it that They can’t grasp The admirable qualities Of which they cast? And the cycle goes on Striving to be Something they’re not. How is it that In the end We find who we are But start out as Who we’re not?

Ouch what a prickle! Of which I’ve been pricked! I wobble my way From grass to brick Lean down to examine Some dirt-stained toe And I find this ***** Embedded in skin And pluck it out Let relief flood in

Prickly Prickle I've been Pricked
I see the sad eyes of the Winter rain Like the ice blades he tears As I catch every falling shard And watch the skin of my hands run red I am tainted, I am marked I am contrast against Winter's silent blanket If not for the stains on my arms and dress I am visioned as pure The Snow White ***** Fallen to exile of barren wasteland For taking to the hand of marriage To Winter's demand And forward I'll go with punishment On my soul But keep locked down that I am clean I am the Snow King's wife I am his ice And by such means as snow and ice I will wash my stains And show translucent skin I carry man's sin In the form of a woman And a woman as such will be forever Banished Because of man's fear She is cold She is a ***** She's a Queen and she's pure I am numb and fall to the Season's feet He is my love I am his delicacy and his beauty And his pure heart Because I am human Of which he can never be

Winter's *****
Not yet a greater sound Than that of eased recognition Of silence bewildered by the empty house My lover left me in I heard his voice softly whisper I never wish to hear again To hold close the faint lips My gentleman, my friend I ****** in every memory As if the air itself could breathe Dancing around quiet graves Until our parting eve Until I see with my own eyes Your figure come to greet I’ll stay a wait For hours late For parted lips and lovers arms Embrace these hearts These slighted charms Stay this night With me.

I'll Stay A Wait.
She's dancing in his eyes of misery, Twirling around the floorboards, Like a fruit ripening off a tree. She's balanced in his gaze, Hovering above the waves and pulses Beating through the planks of wood Built on this foundation of land. He wants what he can't have, And she is the reviving water Stored underneath cactus ****** That he can't drink. His hand is not hers to hold And her dress is not his to touch. His misery will flourish, The distance of strangers.

Misery Lust
With your head pressed against my Shoulder blade, You're all I need to stay awake. To feel your inhales, My skin tingles with the slightest breath. Exhale against my porcelain, You are my wind. I take you in. I'll be the skeleton of your wings So one day you can grow feathers And fly me across lands, oceans, and Heavens. I'll breathe a song into your chirp And give you the grace to glide So you can open arms wide And soar as a kite, With me as your string so you can't get Lost. Trust me with eyes, I'll be your sight, Below, above, and by your side.
