Alvira Perdita
I have many
many
fears

**but the future scares me *most
LJ Chaplin Mar 2014
Turn off all the lights,
I want to see your heart glow
And your true colours shine
Like a spectrum,
Watch the colours of
Sky blue,
Blood red,
Sunset orange,
Apple green,
Dance across the walls
And sing a serenade
Of a thousand dreams,
Let me hold you close
So I can feel the technicolor
Pulse beneath your skin
And ignite a rainbow
In my soul,
Take me to the sea of stars
That glisten in the iris
Of your eyes,
I am perplexed by
The way you sway
With the colours of the night,
A fire in your stomach
That spits embers of smouldering
Beauty,

*I am lucky to be the one that shares your prismatic perfection.

Broken shards of glass,
A refraction of a part of you,
Treading on hot coals
Because you want to feel
The painful numbness
Of what it feels like
To be alive,
You weave in the intricate
Details of the Devil
Just so you can cast away
All remnants of innocence,
An exorcism happened in this bedroom,
You want to feel the dirt,
The grit,
The ferocity
Of a one night stand
As if it is your
Last night standing,
You want to be turned on
With lights off,

You want to be bad
At playing nice.

The Unspoken
Have you ever downed that bottle, in it the most bitter of drinks that could burn your throat to ashes...
Have you ever taken that blade, watched yourself bleed over and over...
Have you ever snapped and screamed out so loud, the world took you to an asylum...
Have you ever cried, minutes and hours days that your tears stop flowing and only your heart groans...
Have you ever felt so much pain deep inside, that there was Nothing else left to Fear?

...I have been there, am there, often...
But am slowly,
Coming alive again.
My skin is healing.
I  Breath.

#Sigh

There will come a time
Whilst you are walking through this world
When you find yourself facing
So much,
Each step you take you fear
That it will be in isolation,
Do not fret,
You will never be alone.
They say angels guide you,
Tracing your footsteps
And holding you by the hand
As you continue to grow,
Continue to flourish and thrive.
When the storm hits the shore
And you are saturated
By the tears of your insecurities
Remember that they are always
Within your reach,
A shoulder to cry on,
A haven where you can
Anchor yourself
And ride out the storm
In tranquillity and safety,
You will always be
Protected by copious
Efforts of compassion
And love,
Forget the monsters under your bed,
There will always be those
Whose hearts glow
Like night lights while
You dream of kingdoms
And ride the waves
Of your inner desires.

Never be afraid,
One day the world
Will be yours,
And it will welcome
You with open arms.

*Just like the angels who helped you grow

Closing my eyes,
I'm afraid of heights,
These skyscraper fears
Are crumbling beneath
My feet and I have
Nothing to hold onto.
I will live like tomorrow
Is never going to come,
But I'm not ready to fall
To my death,
My wings have been clipped
I'm weak,
I'm selfish,
I need the safety net
Beneath my shaking feet.

No,
Push me,
Let me fall,
Let the air kiss my cheeks
Like sharp, cold knives
As I plummet into chaos
And pierce the Earth
Like a meteor.

Beautiful girl,
She breathes creativity,
I love her so much.
