Sky
I'm beginning to wonder
if I lost that magic touch;

These words used to come so easily,
to frame my dreams and nightmares

The paper used to beckon,
gleam like a beacon

While I was lost at sea, the words
would be the rope to pull me free

They gave me just a little bit of clarity,
until they faded away.

I reach and grasp,
maybe catch loose threads,

But it's never strong enough
to pull me to safety.

I miss the magic of words,
of creating invisible images.

It's just starting to feel like
my magic has faded.
I don't write much anymore. I miss it.
Something
cold is in the air,
an aura of ice
and phlegm.
All day I've built
a lifetime and now
the sun sinks to
undo it.
The horizon bleeds
and ***** its thumb.
The little red thumb
goes out of sight.
And I wonder about
this lifetime with myself,
this dream I'm living.
I could eat the sky
like an apple
but I'd rather
ask the first star:
why am I here?
why do I live in this house?
who's responsible?
eh?
Your telepathic soul
Greets mine
On an April night
When the moon rises
Blue against black
Like the bruises
Still left on my back.

You make my words f
                                   a
                                        l
                     ­              l
off a c
             l
                 i
                    f
                         f.
I stumble, searching for them
in fields of violets.
Once collected, the consonants, the verbs, and more
pour from my mouth this:

"My arms explore you
Like apples explore orchards;
I reach a higher state
When your cedar oak lips
Meet my pale birch ones
in twilight.

You scare away the shadows of insecurities
That come alive on my wall at night.
You turn my life into bright acrylics and oils
Too vivid for fingers to paint.

I never expected to
Swim under the influence of you."
I hate using words
because no matter what they can never justify the beauty I see
no amount of adjectives, nouns, or verbs
they hardly come close but if I try harder then maybe
they maybe enough to capture you
capture  enough to make you turn around
these words I speak are raw and true
now listen to my alluring sound
because rhyme schemes are just a fancy trick we use
like the fox and the hound
I just try to  amuse
but only you
would I make a fool, with a smile on my face
"who are you?"
that simple question that started this beautiful chase
we all try to find who we are
but I'm much more interested in the creature before me
where you are still seems too far
I ask "am i worthy? Pshh hardly."
but enough with these metaphors
It's time to take action
I think i found the key to open this door
because we all know you are the main attraction.
I am rambling I will stop using words
because no matter what no adjectives, no nouns, and no verbs.

I will paint you with
Pastel emotions
Red rage and
Blue fear and
I will paint you with
Sweeping black curves
Reminiscent of your hips and
I will paint you with neon rage and
I will paint you with soft words and
I will paint you with a white kiss
Shivering as if it is snowing
and some nights I will miss you
in shades of orange
as bright as the rising sun
and some days will be sad
and in those days
we can find each other in purple
And I will paint you with my words and
We will be immortalized in canvas.
my goddess dies each dawn
with the rising of the sun
and is reborn; renewed
in the sick, slighted
mannerism she awakens.

even with noticeable differences
the sky projects her face
as she lightens my burdens
and burdens my nights
with her glowing.

this shining has come for time
that it's been needed
where i've stood; judged
for the sinful mannerism
of my paganism.

but you're lost in the twilight;
daydreaming
in the middle of the night
that day will break the dark
and again, you'll see.

i've never needed any light
for my goddess is here;
she's been for ages
and she will be
once i'm gone.
Her body is poetry and her curves are the words.
Her eyes are the hook and her lips, a cryptic verse.
As much as she pours out, there's not much you'll really know.
There's memories she hides, and even more that she won't let go.
She's simple at its best, yet chaotic at her worst.
She'll catch you with her hook, and leave you with her verse.
this is not a fairy tale

somewhere in a lonely castle tower
she's weeping past the midnight hour
long golden locks hang down the wall
and she's waiting for her prince to call
and take her from this place
how she longs to see his face
and they will ride off together
& live happily always and forever
she's been a prisoner far too long
he found her by following a song
that only his heart could hear
it was like she whispered in his ear
"save me, if you think I should be free"
never had he been so enchanted by beauty
she needed a hero, it had to be this man
it was then these two formed their plan
and he promised he'd be there
he'd climb the rope made from hair
of his beloved and they would run away
tomorrow would be a brand new day
a brand new life
she would be his wife
he's lying in ice and snow
and she has no way to know
that her prince has fallen from his horse
so heavy, she wore her sadness like a coat
swam in it, never knowing if she'd sink or float
and all the dreams that drifted away
left her empty, with nothing to say
she cries but no tears will come
can't even remember what she's running from
only that she has to go, further and faster
away from this life, self created disaster
she hangs her head in guilt and shame
feeling like she only has herself to blame
not knowing how to fix all that's wrong
she's holding on but for how long
when the night seems too open, too dark
the silence is deafening, save her pounding heart
and it's fear, always the fear
that something bad is near
within her, like a fire burning bright
sometimes she feels too tired to fight
in the dark, in the deep
where she doesn't sleep
she smiles a smile that's just a mask
hiding all the questions she's afraid to ask
because life was too dangerous, too cold
always too fragile for her to hold
there were monsters among men
always about, inviting her in
but she was too afraid
too many mistakes already made
and that was what landed her here
in a place built upon fear
tears and regret made up the walls
bones for the floors, blood for halls
all that's left is loneliness and doubt
she gave up on ever getting out
