whether hungry or satisfied
The face isn't tamed by a smile
Better to distinguish between
scary and ugly.
Being ugly isn't by choice
Being scary is personal

Those who prefer to roar than to talk
Their faces display their ages
And foreheads wrapped with wrinkles
soaked in sadness with pleasure
A true definition of misery.

A chemical addict
one who enjoys jik as juice.
pale faces with purple stretch marks
Good enough to keep enemies away
A face with a perfect answer "No"
swollen with grief though entitled
To no pension
The die hard of scenarios and
a culprit of death.

the corn is tall and the leaves fall
dirt roads litter with discarded acorns
the nights are longer
and the sun bids each day goodbye
sooner than we wish it to leave
the pumpkins fill stands and field
the red and cold crowns tops of trees
gently let go off their children the leaves

I watch a moment more -
the hands they turn, and rise.
I know not - what to expect
With each exhaling breath.

The hands, again they move -
not together, but with each other.
A syncronised harmony -
both moving, changing blissfully.

I'd look away, but I daren't not
I stare amazed, awaiting -
trying to catch or freeze I know not -
The tick-tock of that enormous clock.

Distinguished* ~ one seasons' stronghold
Lavished ~ yet it leaves no mark
Harkened ~ still it bleeds no stain on us
Ravished ~ some lost to the dark

My King!
My Queen!

My Majesty!
You state your Name by Divine Decree,
yet Silence has claimed your Kingdom.  

For Eye could cast one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) sparkles into the night and no one would care to notice.

What a shame, says Eye...too wrapped inside.

Tho' one day soon a Flame unfurls and
wisp-ers condense into new Worlds so that once again we must all commence the Journey to reclaim our Innocence.

*"Lions, Tigers and Bears...Oh My"!!!
Dear Toto, I couldn't help but envision those beautiful ruby red slippers

Silence Screamz
Powder on the mirror,
Its lines so smooth in lane
Cut, nice and pure
it's Lady *******.

Fuel filled dragons,
bills rolled up tight
Sniffing up the white stuff
my mind isn't right

The first line went up too fast
Burning up my nose
Two lines more to go
Is this a killing joke?

Spinning into Hades,
Twisting way too fast
going down the rabbit hole
I am only going to crash

Am I in wonderland
Or is this a dream?
Could this be ******* real
or it is make believe?

Finding my way out,
I am never going see.
take this stuff away,
Just pain and suffering

Crying out loud
And crying me insane
Please get her away from me,
This Lady *******
I never done this drug but know friends who have!!

Silence Screamz
Coloring pages full of sadness,
Darkened circles with crazy madness.

With crayons in hand, I started to paint,
Reds and blacks, I was feeling blank.

No one to see my beautiful muse,
No one to look at, I was confused.

I needed direction, when I was a child,
Home all alone, loose but not wild

I talked to my friend,
the one you can't see,
you said I was crazy,
he made me believe.

We played many games
and talked many hours,
you went back to the closet,
I was in sorrows

Have I made you up?
My closest friend.
This family is gone,
I need you again.

Come back my companion,
I need you so.
Come out of my closet,
I will hold you close.
Have you ever had that imaginary friend?

War
A soft thud stirs in your head, but turns to screams and wails instead.
Every day and every night each side puts up a fight.
One says yes, the other says no.
Which side is right to follow?
"Cut, bruise and eventually die."
"But you have so much to live for; why?"
Part of me knows which path is right.
The other stays wondering through the night.
As i think about my life, i can't help but catch a glimpse of the knife.
Then i think, what if i did?
I'm not important, i'm just a kid.
Each day, every minute, i wonder which side will eventually win it.

We all possess
Love
Still we look
For other
No dreams
No desire
No life
Hope I am right!!!!

cr
the curves on my
frame are the lines of
a sketch bent slightly
too far; i'm an awkward
angle in geometry
class no one dares to
find and this tiny black

dress is revealing too
much in too little
time. the whispers of
crisscrossed marked
thighs and starry knees
swirl before me and i'm

gone, disconnected. they say
black is slimming but
i've never felt more
potent and i hope
to god no one can see
right through me.

formal dances aren't
ideal for the invisible.
why in hell did i choose a black dress again?

Elizabeth Hynes
He was struck and the noise
Was a gong
Calling me to my senses
He is gone

He fell for me
I fell over
It was lucky
Four leafed clover

In his mind I used to stroll
He never bothered
To share how he felt
Though he shared much

As the ending
I left him
He was sitting alone
Tear streaked

My own tears
Were slow to fall
In his wake
I lost it all

since she was 11
she knew
being abused isn't a punishment
it's a birthright
