22/F/washington just a goth girl, with a tiny light in hand, searching through a sea of darkness / ALL POEMS ARE MINE, AND ARE NOT TO BE USED WITHOUT MY CONSENT
Brave are the eyes, That turns from thee. Courageous are the hands, That refuse thy touch. Bold is the tongue, That should speak ill of thee. Foolish is the mind, That believes to compliment thee is to poison thee. Should compliments be poison, Thou should die from consuming too many. Only thee, who holds a piercing gaze and tongue of silver sting, Should devote themselves to the art of poisoned praise. For heavy is the heart that holds thy love. Envy is the mind that craves thee. Envy is me, for the ribs that cradle thy heart. Foolish is me, for the way I act in thy company. Cowardly is me, for how long I have awaited to praise thee. Thou are beauty, Thou are love, Thou are art, Thou are not made for me… But that cannot stop my heart from wanting thee.

I crave Thee.
In with the tide, out with the moon, a breath between the waves, the hush before the pull. Your shadow leans beneath my door, drifting like smoke from a dying fire. Eyes of two drowned stars at the bottom of a well I fell into years ago. I am the leaf, but the wind isn’t gentle. I spin, unrooted, but grounded when you look at me. I'm longing with hunger and teeth. I’m aching in places no hand has touched, and bleeding in places no wound shows. Absence is a slower kind of ****** I could dissolve, I could become mist, I could live only in the space between your breaths. I want under your skin, I want to taste your thoughts, I want to press my lips to your pulse, and drink your memories like wine. I want to feel you under my teeth. Under my tongue. To remember you, cell by cell. Your soul cracked open like an oyster. Pearlless. Your heart is desire, and your tongue is poison.

Pearlless
Dad, What was he supposed to be to me? What should I have had? rather than the roots of fear beneath my feet, The sprawling branches of deceit above my head, And the secrets I was made to keep, carved into the truck .

Fatherly Tree
I approach the room Just beyond the door Darkness Always looking for my love Cobwebbed walls look intently upon me Admonishing Urging me Run Yet I will not leave without you. The moon peers through a broken window Casting its blue light on my pallid skin Blood red lips yearn to kiss you Fingernails painted the shade of death   Search in vain for your frail shoulders Wine on the mantle the color of deep crimson   A half-drunk glass A knife A scream I will never leave without you

Unfurling darkness
Waiting for the dead -alive, Swarming in a vicious hive, Chasing ghosts we waste our time We fight, we strive, unite, divide. One becomes all, And all become none, With our corpses we build A tower to the sun. Waiting for all life to die, Gestalt lives in the heartless hive. Burning witches on a pyre We fight, we splice, we bite, we die. In its deceit, we drown Building her thorny crown Life in dark submission Surrender and damnation

Beehive
I buried you with love in the coffin of my heart, When I realized that it was just a graveyard Where people were born to take a short ride And then decided to switch to a new life. They leave the roads of my heart beyond repair And now only meant to be an abode of farewell. So, I hope you face a lot of love as I watch you embark, And live an immortal in someone else's heart. For love is not a luxury I can receive, Because I was never a perfect fit.

Graveyard Heart
What is love, and how should I describe it? A smile, a heart that beats only for me, A flickering star in your eyes, that lit, Blue sky, a high mountain, the deepest sea. Winds that gently carries all your whispers, Flowers that smell like your breath in mornings, The cold spring's rain giving me soft shivers, The freedom of the soul, spreading its wings. The rising sun that caresses your hair, The rain that mingles with your happy tears, The breath of life, the water, and the air, Blissful seconds, hours, decades, hundred years. My love for you will never cease nor die, "Would none had ever loved but you and I!"

What is love?
If you'd known it would hurt me, you wouldn't have done it There's no way you'd want me to cry, You wouldn't just leave, like a bolt from the blue, without saying Goodbye. You knew that I loved you, you knew that I cared You knew I would always be true But now you are gone and I'm feeling quite scared and I really don't know what to do. I'll love you forever, I'll miss you for longer you'll always be here in my heart But time's a great healer and soon I'll be stronger instead of just falling apart.

Cowboy
He is now the color the dawn wears for me to behold each morning no matter how bland and monotonous is the rising He is the serenading hello conveyed by the birds' early lilt when I'm amongst limping creature bound to wilt He fills up the cup of my luscious refreshment- a dose to quench me with merriment He is that perking mood to start my day and a pause to breathe fine in the middle of a fray I know nothing beyond his name and he's another bright portrait I cannot claim I'd like for him to not just be a tempting limerence that this may never be a departing sentence...

He Is
The blank sheet stares at you just your perception That it's your foe a misconception It's your partner, your friend -- enfolds your verse in love Breathe deeply... exhale your words dance above
