22/F Sad
Have I forgotten my soul yet again? My heart is torn between two worlds. The underworld holds my soul; its depths hold my darkness in its cavernous halls. Seeds of the pomegranate quench the ache that fills my heart. Only through the black can I see the truth that I hold. Yet my spirit is called the Elysium above. The wheatfields caress me with their gentle whispers, as the sun gives life to my paled skin. Am I lost, or am I found?.... Alas, my soul abounds.

Ascension-Descent.
She comes to me in the dead of the night beneath satin sheets, bringing tears streaming down my lifeless cheeks. Forgotten, afraid of the light of day, my mask fades away. I am neither near nor far, a mockery of the goddess I once was. A numbness holds my aching bones. From life itself, I have been forbidden. An imminent doom, my eternal attrition.

Lamia
How I long to be mad again. My soul searches endlessly for your Pandora's box. To be mad is to be free from all that consumes me, To be consumed by you. I have shielded myself from many a lover, in hopes that one day I will fall back into your serpentine trance.   Drive me to the brink of sanity; send my mind once again into your abyss. Lay me down so I may forevermore feel the horror of your kiss.

Pandora's Box.
please, look at me. look at me in every way that love feels, then peer into me as if you are meeting a candle light to blow its heat. i promise i won't speak unless you need me to, so look at me in every possible way if it helps you see me better. deep in your gaze, mesh me in every memory that makes you cry for i am a home for dark things too. your every spill cannot flood the vast space of my nothingness. i have all the room in the world to take in every version of you.

see you soon
i think i exist only to love but never experience, a pretentious bag of bones like me will only stir your feelings —you will wallow in it for some time and then you will forget about me like a cup of coffee that has gone cold. but if i must admit, it's because i do stunt my own growth: in life, in love, but strangely enough, not in death. an odd number of reasons aid my tendencies; they get glued together to form a paper-maché of well-composed farewells —a craft i have mastered in my years of longing. i think i exist only to love, but never experience— yet here i am, still longing until i get a hand to hold.

touch starved
I have all this love And nowhere to put it It's rotting inside me Soft,warm Unspent. I reach out in dreams But wake up alone His name buried in my throat Like a secret I was not allowed to say. He didn't stay But the love did And now it grows wild Inside a heart With no one left To give it to.

Nowhere
born in the artic snow she chromed her heart in steel flames could not touch that heart always a half a step ahead sure a few stumbles but never a fall and moonlight is just a heartache in disquise till one day leaning out a car window a scar upon his cheek and the luck of the draw was the jack of hearts and the queen of diamonds had never met anyone quite like the jack of hearts, black-haired blue-eyed her beauty inspired stupid men to commit foolish acts and as he smiled the queen of diamonds thought she had the jack of hearts, blue sky shimmering in her eyes jack became the brightness of her day and the jack of hearts saw a flame flickering in her eyes that he had never seen in any women's eyes before ... act. 2 ... a strange destiny was unraveling and one long poker hand was over and the snowflakes came down like ashes under the street light and then the jack of hearts walked away a pale spirit fleeing a graveyard into the wall of night and the queen of diamonds cried the sea into sky with eyes like twilight waiting to eat away the day

the queen of diamonds and the jack of hearts
Let me kiss through the cracks and creases that line your body. A flower with a nectar so sweet, with juices that flow between ravenous teeth. So gentle is your touch; may our bodies meld as one, As the rays paint upon your skin with the setting of the sun. A journey through the sheets, Your ******* heave to mine. Your body is a sorceress of time. Through night and day, our flame flickers but does not fade. Upon your barren skin, I feel an eruption begin from within. You call to me one last time, with a dance of the body my eyes long to behold.
