.
A whirlwind of stagnant breeze
disturbs the warmest stillness.
Solar rays shimmer and coalesce
forming images of the Summer Girl.

Fragrant scents in light colours
float gently from her hair.
Flowers laced with golden thread
adorning her head like a wreath.

Chasing the shadows of clouds
across the heat haze so strange.
Her body lithe and newly alive
darting and flitting dragonfly style.

Arriving at the painting of the dawn
and here to nurse the day.
Leaving at the doom of sunset,
wisping images of the Summer Girl.

Why
Do we lie
Then deny
Why
Do we let love die
Say goodbye
Why
Do we trust
Then lust
Why
Do we try so hard
Then put up a guard
Why
When we get near
We fear
Why
Do we dream
Then scream
Why
Do we pretend
It will not end
Why
Do we hold back tears
For years
Why
Do we think the hurt will heal
Deny it was real
Why
Did we not share
And never dared
Why
Were we best friends
Then never again

Did your valley
Bloom?
Did you blush in
Spring?

Evenstar
Did your forest
Dream?
Did your ocean
Sing?

what if the
Moon is alive and she
is listening to us on Earth
and is looking up at a blue
crescent that fills her sky
wondering about us
from afar

does she see our city lights
dark against her starry sky

cryptic hieroglyphs
neon constellations

does she know
who we are
who reach
out to
her

Fire replacing water,
people fleeing to
the dried rivers; [O],
oceans aflame under
a rain of fire across
the earth; volcanoes
earthquakes, [war];  
tsunami monsoons;
[eclipse after eclipse]
black holes appear
all throughout space
one after another
w/ no UFOs in sight

heat boils the brain
in its pan leading it
to violent thoughts;
have a cool drink  &
relax in the shade -
light up a smoke  &
read a good book -

Poets &     philosopher-kings once
ruled &       queens were beautiful;
in the days of Gilgamesh in old
Babylonia,        women like Esther,
beauty queen to a woman;   Thetis,
Nereids & Cleopatra;  wild wanton
women who were also wise;
mothers of future stars;    daughters
of chaos &       his consort Nothing;
She who is daughter of All is All

when i think of you
my heart shivers
a little, just enough
for memories
to stir my spirit
into the stardust
caked in your skin.

corazón, you glow
& though i feel mute
you always say
the taste of love
on my tongue sings
sweetly in our skies.

Do you ever wake up and feel like you haven’t slept a minute?
Do you look in the mirror and don’t recognize the person you see?
Do you go to your job and slug through the day?
Do you skip meals because all you want to do is sleep?
Do you let your mood swings ruin your day?
Do you snap at those you love?
Do you realize all these things but can’t muster the strength to fix it?
Do you cry yourself to sleep with the though of how much you hate who you’ve become?
Do you make plans to change but never follow through?
Do people leave you in the dust like you never even mattered?
Do you count down the hours until you can be alone
And then sit alone while you’re depression swallows you whole.
Do you wish things could go back to the way they were?
But deep down you know they never will.
Do you feel stuck
Or like you’re going into a fight blind?
You’ll come out with bruises yet you’ll do it again
Do you want to run your fingers across the blade?
But don’t because your loved ones will criticize you for it
How can I fix this?
Please someone tell me
don't ever let a boy tell you that it's not okay for girls to *******. just another thing they are jealous of. they'll never be able to do it as well as you.
