Your name drips
honey from my lips,
I'm addicted.

                                             Your touch, rushes
                                               through my veins
                                             I can barely stand.

You breathe into me
sustaining, the life
of an Angel lost.

                                       The tips of our fingers
                                         touch and I'm drunk,
                                        on the sensation your

essense brings.
Awakening my soul.

With outstretched eyes
and open hands
           we ceased to become,
I exhaled existence
and you, perpetrated fear
           hope could not sustain us.
Revolve around your galaxies
Supernovas, enemies
           and I'll continue
breathing on my own.

Too A.M.
Electric, as laughter statics to music
and stars battle, self-consciously
refusing to be outshined.
Glowing, fires
an Italian moon
of the countryside
whispers, for a moment.
and forever is now,
and the Moirai dance
and the moon, bewitched
and souls intertwined.

The abuse continues,
they **** her, taking too much.

The sheet music’s scattered,
all left untouched.

Neglecting to notice
in a selfish haste.

The stage lights remain *****,
the smile left her face.

Echo,
loud applause off every wall.

A painted on smile,
hides every flaw.

Shadows linger,
murmuring her name.

The pictures they've taken
aren't enough. Shame!

Observing,
through a bird's innocent eye.

Trapping her in,
glossy pages filled with lies.

She only dreams
it’s long over, and done.

Longing to breathe,
a flower, without sun.

Silently,
their footsteps fall.

Their Princess' name,
they call.

Mirror after mirror,
lines wall after wall.

Watching for her,
But seeing nothing; at all.
This is an adaptation of another of my poems. (Ms. Collins)

“There is chaos here,
In the minutes where night meets day.
Are you listening? It is near.

I find it acceptable to fear
the shadows that lurk in midnight.
There is chaos here.

When you’re alone it leers,
and your terror will leave you screaming.
Are you listening? It is near.

Darkness becomes you Dear,
Its seduction clouds your mind.
There is chaos here.

It’s pulling your soul near.
nothing is safe, there’s nowhere to hide
Are you listening? It is near.

And once it has you, let me be clear
you will be dragged, screaming. Madness!
There is chaos near.
Are you listening? It is here.”

The seasons blended together still
as if i've fallen head first into a daydream.
But some nights,
i'd place our fate in the hands of a star,
and whisper words of forever.
Praying my answer was You.

There was enchantment in You.
Yet still,
I held little hope in our forever.
For what is wished for while dreaming,
is long lost amongst the stars
found only on the darkest of nights.  

My uncertainties were hidden in the shadows of the night
and clouded every thought of You.
But there, locked between the breath of two stars,
silent and still,
I chased away my dreams.
Convinced that nothing could last forever.

I am Alice now, and my rabbit hole leads into forever.
As mysterious as the night
so I close my eyes and dream.
And I am suddenly re-immersed in You.
As the hands that chase the day stand still
I am misplaced again, amongst the wishes lost in stars.

I have traveled through time, chased unknown stars
and stared into the face of forever.
But as my mind's portraits flashed by me, my life stood still.
For everything was overcome by the night
and all I could see was You.
Mirroring back at me all my hopes and dreams.

At first, I'd thought I was dreaming,
(creativity tends to flourish within the stars.)
But I could see it in You,
The smallest glimpse of forever,
Gleaming in your eyes late that night,
And I knew my faith held tightly still.

I am still immersed in the wishes of my dreams,
where the symphonies of night hold stars
that shine into forever, and are reflected back in You.

A positive soul brings positive times
radiating in your security,
and when under your gaze, my soul unwinds
breathing you in for an eternity.

I am tie-dyed in your purity.
I am baptized in your eccentric taste.
Your smile never ceases to amaze me,
nothing's cherished more than our fingers laced.

Incomparable are your loving eyes,
unspeakably you make time fall away.
As your voice consumes me, emotions rise,
and in your presence I will forever stay.

For rays of sunshine flow heavenly through,
you light up my soul with the things you do.
Dedicated to Mod Sun.
