Castilleja
Earthchild Feb 2014
Have you ever taken a sip of strong liqueur?

Felt the way it burns your lips
Seers at the back of your throat
Leaving a dull flame pulsing in your heart
Your breath comes out as embers

You see
What I'm getting at is
You are my liqueur
And I'm an alcoholic.
"Castilleja" is a flower, bright red and outstandingly beautiful, its common name is "Indian Paintbrush"

Backfire
Earthchild Feb 2014
Waiting for the train
Toes of my boots on the edge of the yellow line
Stand back from yelllow line
Reads a sign straight infront of me
I think about how quickly I could end everything
Steps a bit further
I take a deep breath
Tears welling up within my tired eyes
My breath comes out shaky
Shaking my head as I step away
Wiping away the tears that overflowed my scarlett eyelids

Glancing around, I wonder
Who would have saved me?

             I'm not to sure I would save me

Dear Lonley People
Earthchild Feb 2014
Think about it this way
You're complaining of not having a valentines today

Some children dont have a mother on Mothers day
No one to teach their child to bake
No one to braid the 6 year old girls hair
No one to give dandilion bouquets to.

A child who doesnt have a father to love on Fathers day
No one to teach them how to play baseball
To ride a bike,
No one to teach him or her to pitch a tent

A child sits in a foster home on Christmas or even on Thanksgiving
His or her only wish is to have a loving family
Have a chance to believe in magic
Have a home
A big feast displayed out infront of them.

Or maybe someone sits crying on Remeberance day,
because they lost their husband, dad, mom or big brother
You cant get back someone who is gone
A child may not have even met a past family member.

Look at it realistically.
Sorry it ***** but I had to rant.

You strictly implied you wanted nothing to do with me
And I the same
Stop trying to get me back
I'm upholding on my behalf
Time for you to realize you did the damage
You live with it
Dont come crawling back to me

French Inhale
Earthchild Feb 2014
Breathing you in like toxic smoke
Lingering fog in my mind
In
Through my ivory lips
Parted in a lascivious smile
Out
Inhaled up my nose
Closing my hazel eyes
Head resting against the white wall
The smoke dancing
Swirling in lazy circles
Up into the slow vibes of the music

I want to kiss you like I kiss my cigarettes
Its going to **** me

Inhale

Move Like You Want
Earthchild Feb 2014
Dancing in the sunshine
Taunting my demons
My soul hanging off a thread infront of them

I will sing
Catch me if you can
As they hiss in the darkest shadows
To afraid of the honey Sun
Which melts into the base of my mind

Laughing
As they are as afraid of my happiness,
Of the flowers that bloom in my mind

As I was once afraid
Of their menacing toxic voices

Bel Air
Earthchild Feb 2014
Shes like a flower
She smiles at the sky
She kisses the clouds
She drinks the wind
Embraces the stars
Dances in the pools of sun
Dreams beneath the moon

Take care of her

Elvis Presley
Earthchild Jan 2014
The record player sits on my desk
I set the needle on the charcoal vinyl
Elvis Presley- Burning Love
Escapes the speakers
Ready to dance
The static retro crackle
Makes me want to live in the 1950's
Music loops around in my head

Sunshine illuminating onto my floor through the window
I dance as light as the clouds in the pool of sunshine
I smile
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
Burning Love

Spreading my arms out wide
My laugh bursts out of my corrupt lungs
Slipping past my crimson red lips
I breath the music
Notes carrying my body across the floor
Skirt billowing out around me
As I twist my summer hips back and forth
Music is melting into my mind
I spin faster
I am so free
So care free
So nostalgic

Burning Love
Burning Love
Burning Love
*Burning Love
Earthchild Jan 2014
The stars hit my lungs
A slight frost dancing along the curve
Of my parted crimson lips
I breath in crisp winter air
In and out
As the fresh night air soaks into my winter bones
I am one with the air around me

Wind howling as though it was a wild wolf
Catching my long brown hair
Whipping against my pale cheeks
As I stare at the beauty of the
Exhausted mountains
Fast asleep under the clouds
I am one with the beauty of the landscape

I hold my arms out to the sky
Diamonds dot the charcoal sky
Winking down at their children
We are fragments of stars
I am a fragment of a star
The moon is my kin
I am one of Mother Natures jewels
I am one with the universe

*Deep breath
I went for a hike In the mountains at night, it was astounding

End Of A Spark
Earthchild Jan 2014
Its so unbearable
The way I feel about you
The way you make me so happy
But at the same time,
You are slowly crushing my heart
I know you are'nt mine
But you have been the only person able to
Break the strong grasp
From the claws of demons
You made sunlight drip into my mind
You made me feel capable of happiness again

Although, I still feel the dull ache
That knaws at my heart
How you flaunt over other girls
Am I not nothing special to you?
Its as though I'm just another nobody

I love you
*But I hate you
What the hell.

Dear Child Of The Universe
Earthchild Jan 2014
You
are no lesser than the stars and their astounding beauty
You
breath in the same oxygen as the summer birds
You
live for a purpose
You
are not a waste of space
You
are much more than space
You
are more beautiful than a vast growth of wild flowers
You
are a child of the universe you have a right to live

Sun Showers
Earthchild Jan 2014
Standing in the warm water
Streaming down from my eyelashes to my crimson lips
Pooling apon them
I raise my hand to trace the curve of them
Kiss me
From my glass ribs to my summer hips
Sunshine warmth sinks in
Sending me shivers as I imagine you trailing your hand along
My arms cradle my broken body
My head hits the clouds
I can not stop thinking about you
I can not stop thinking about how I want you
How I need you
How I love you
But you dont want me

Sometimes
I wish shower water would wash away the thought of you

My Body Is A Cage
Earthchild Jan 2014
I am so ready to dance
Finally regain control of my mind
Demons scream in anger
I am fighting you

You will no longer control me
No longer corrupt my mind
With your sickening worthless words
You will degrade to ash
I am going to crush your addiction for my pain
Crush your addiction to see scarlett trail down my arm
I will burn you and your voices
Burn you with my hatred for your toxic voice
You will not crawl through my veins
You will not spread your poison

You will no longer rip me apart
One ******* piece at a time

Flowers will flourish in your remains
Sunshine will melt into my heart
Into my mind
I will dance like never before
I will not dance on fragile ice anymore
I will dance on solid ground

You can not stop me.
But I Have The Key

Lost
Earthchild Jan 2014
I want your hand on my fragile glass ribs
I want you to kiss my rose petal lips
I want you to draw slow moon cresents on my back
I want to entangle my hand in your hair
I want to inhale you like oceanic air
I want you to grab my leg and pull it around your waist
I want you to let flowers bloom on my neck
I want you to wrap your arm around my slim waist
I want to feel your skin against my pale winter skin
I want to listen to your heart sing me to sleep
I want to love you

I need you

Dark Paradise
Earthchild Jan 2014
I fill my heart with love
Drink it like hard liquor
Burning
As it streams down my throat
A warm wave crushes apon me
I dance around the room
Drunk on the thought of you
Bringing my hand to my pale winter cheek
Caressing my scarlett lips
Kiss me?
I twirl
Skirt billowing around me
The music streaming through my bones
Dizzy

My lips part in a small smile
You melted me
I dance in glacial water
Flower lungs inhale the lust
For you
This boy is driving me mad

Sunshine Moonlight
Earthchild Jan 2014
I am ready for those warm
Balmy summer nights
Jumping into the laughing summer water
When the stars look down apon me
Winking at me
The warm water swirling
Around my melting winter bones
Moonlight glistening off my winter ribs
Fresh water dripping off my eyelashes
Onto my warm raspberry lips

Oceanic blue water rushing around me
Its music dancing in and out of my ears
My only companion is the night
Heavy tired eyelids
Light dancing thoughts
Of the summer flowers
That will grow in my heart
As the thoughts of you course my mind

But for now its just me and those thoughts
Of the summery nights to come
I fall asleep with a smile on my lips
So lame

Crumpled agaisnt the white wall
Burning tears streaming
From my hollow exhausted eyes
Down my pale cheeks they fall
Along my raspberry lips they gather
Oceanic water

One by one
The last few daisys that lined my mind
Wilt
Their petals are dropping to the ground
Ever so slowly they turn to dust
My heart is charcoal black
My walls are breaking down

I look around me the glacial walls
Melting to the ground
They pool at my sides
I drag my frail finger through the warm water
snap
Someone grabs my hand
Shaking my clouded head
I look up with red swollen eyes
Mom?

Shes so far off her voice a silent as a winter breeze
I give up
Head falls back onto my chest
I grasp my head
A fist full of my long brown hair
Shuddering breaths threatening to shake me apart
"I am so ****** up"
I whisper soft as rose petals

Standing still on top of the frozen curve of the cliff
Listening to the sharp crack of the ice below me
Ghosts of steam skating on the opaque ice
Sunshine melting onto my flush cold cheeks
The winters fridged breath sinking into my winter bones
Mountains dusted with fresh snow
My pulse beating as though its a drum
Swirling winds within my lungs as I breath

Deep breaths

Snowy Eyes
Earthchild Dec 2013
Walking through the hibernating town
Couples holding hands
Laughing
Smiling
Kissing

I thought to myself
Could that be us?
Could we walk along
Frozen paths
Our breath dancing
above our head
Your lips upon my frosty lips
Christmas lights illuminating the snow
Stars winking down at us
Mountains tucked beneath their blanket
of snow

Cozying up by the fire
Blankets wrapped around us
Hot chocolate sips
Laughing about the days
Your kisses melting on my lips
My head in your shoulder
Your heart beat singing me to sleep

Maybe
Maybe one cold December

Café
Earthchild Dec 2013
Skating on the cold frozen ice
My friends breath swirling around us
We laughed and smiled
As the shivering mountains looked down on us

Cheeks rosy
Noses bright red from the cold
Smiles all round as we laughed
Thoughts of Christmas on our minds

Making our way through town
Couples holding hands
In love
Christmas lights decorating pillars
Smiles

Sitting in the cozy café drinking
London fog tea
Hot chocolate
Whipped cream swirled on top
Like the outside mountains

I think of how great this day has been
The feeling of joy

Invisible Memories
Earthchild Dec 2013
People always say
just forget and move on
how do you forget love?
can people not see that
love can not be forgotten?
All my memories of you
linger like a morning fog
in my summer mind

The way your hand trailed
along my bare fragile ribs
your smile as you
were about to kiss my
flushed rose lips
my head resting on your chest
the music of your tired lungs
your singing heart

Why do we act like strangers
after all the memories we have?
I cant burn memories like
I can burn pictures
I can not forget love
I can only forget why
why I made the effort to
love
in the first place
No, this is not about you

Chalkboard
Earthchild Dec 2013
Memories of you claw
endlessly
at the back of my delicate mind
iron nails dragging
down that charcoal chalkboard
SCREAMING

Photoflashes off all those
endless moments, blinding me
images I can not seem to burn
could I please
pour the gasoline
ignite
let the flames engulf
the memories

Let them degrade to ash
let the ash settle
into the roots of my wilted flowers
let the sun shine again
like it used to shine
like it did
oh
so long ago

You are nothing but ash

I'm High
Earthchild Dec 2013
Our parents always told us
no drugs
I ask myself
why not

Sitting here inhaling toxic fumes
smoke dancing about in my tired lungs
stimulant seeping into my blood
am I dreaming?
Wilted flowers seeming to lift
take another deep breath
inhale, let the smoke corrupt your tired lungs
its their sunshine

My laughter
SINGS
a spring bird flying up
into the oceanic sky
Music notes
dance around me
through my body
as if to their own melody

I wish I could join them
I could almost swim
music runs through my frail fingers
just like warm spring water, filling my ears

Without drugs
How could I grow my flower garden

8:00 pm
My parents tucked me in at night
my dad smiled at me, kissing me goodnight
my mom sat at the edge of my bed
reading me a bedtime story
departing as I drifted off into a dreaming faze
thats what they would always do

9:00 pm
My parents tucked me in at night
my dad hugged me
turned and left to bed
my mom sat at the edge of my bed
telling me to get better grades
because I was failing math

10:00 pm
My parents tucked me in at night
my dad went to bed before me
patting my shoulder as he passed
shutting that wooden door behind him
my mom cracking the door open "night"
I smiled as I worked through my homework

11:00 pm
My parents tucked me in at night
my mom sitting behind the bright computer screen
telling me to go to bed because she was to busy
my dad huddled under the covers snoring softly
behind that white wooden door
I sat alone in my cold room

12:00 am
I tucked myself into bed
tears streaming from my hallow eyes
sorrowing tremors shaking my fragile bones
knees drawn to my chest, attempt to hold myself together
a trail of dark scarlett snaking down my arm to my finger tips
my head a hazy storm, I lean back unconcious, asleep

     My parents never tucked me in

Breathe
Earthchild Dec 2013
I stood in the cold snow
Arms crossed
Over my broken winter ribs
Fingernails digging into my pale arms

The cold mountain air
Absorbs into my frail bones
Raspberry lips parted
Amazed by the beauty

Green eyes gazing at the sleeping mountains
Tree roots spread across the ground
As to keep the Earth from collapsing
From cold winter tremors

The hazy moons glow
Constellations of stars
Dance as if at a royal ball
Clouds swirling like cigarette smoke
I love the night and the mountains, or nature in general

Sleeping City
Earthchild Nov 2013
I am one with the night
I have outwalked the last city light
upon the lonliest paved road

Hid from city faces
walking in shadows
dropped eyes, not knowing how to explain

I have stood at the edge of the furthest riverbank
crisp air escaping my parted scarlett lips
drowning in the song of the rushing water

Just to escape the inturrupted city
my only companion
the stars

I am one with the night
Go out at night, you will be amazed from the serenity

Month Of May
Earthchild Nov 2013

Degrading to dust

Cancer

Why did I let you force your demons apon me?

Left to fade into the dark.
