In the dark in the room
Whistles faintly echo
Up to my room
"Who's in this house?"

And the dread settles in
A bag full of lead
I can't move
And for some reason
I think the whistling can see me in here

Skritch-scratch under the door
Total paralysis still -
Maybe, I shall pretend to snore?

Two red jewel eyes
Materialize
At the foot of this bed
This
Is absurd!
I can't even mouth a word!

Climbing ontop of me
The mare opens his jaws
To a dead TV channel
That sounds like bee-wings
Just about suffocated by fright

Then it all ends
Hard heavy anvil feelings
And all I keep with me is the dread

I had such a hard time sleeping as a kid for fear of re-living this re-interpretation of Kentucky folklore. Sleeping brain+creepy southern folk tales=nightmare city. Alternate title, "The Dread".

Venus' Fly-Trap

there must have been
a gas leak
or some drug in my drink

I think
but nothing comes to me
what shall I do all day?
gawky morbidity; decay
on this sticky hot sofa
an idiot sits like a rock

blocked and sterilized
I just can't seem to figure it
'move one leg,
at a time'

but it's like I'm laying on a big gob
of pink bubblegum
and I've nowhere to run

the cushions, the cushions
comfy & yet
closing in on me
what the hell,
am I crazy?

What I Should've Been Taught As a Kid.

What I Should've Been Taught As a Kid.

Don't ever slay that mighty dragon
It's wings will crush you with the slightest movement
And it's firey breath will curl around your head.
You will not win.

Do nibble on the magic fungi
It'll show you the unimaginable to dream upon
And you'll find yourself in a fairytale with the pixies.

Don't plant those beans
The ones in which you gave a cow for.
The castle at the top of the stalk
Is not worth your time.

Do burn the witch, not for all the wrong reasons.
Let her teach you her black magic ways
And if she decides to turn against you
Then you have every right to lead her to the stake in chains.

Black cats are not bad luck.
If they're nice, they're your friend
Otherwise throw them under the ladder
Or into a mirror.

The beast is not always a prince under the witches spell.
Sometimes, he's just a ******* creep.

The knight in shining armor
Is just a suit against a wall in the castle hallway.

The wolf is not always there for the baked goods in the straw basket.
He wants more, your virginity maybe?
He'll steal all he can take which is everything.

No ***** is ever as pretty as those princesses or damsels in distress.
Most have the face of the witch
With the mask of a beauty.

Euphony VS. Cacophony

Euphony VS. Cacophony

The warbling calls
of the peace and the calm
seem pacified and subdued
far from the ears of man

The shattered cries
of the cacophony and the chaos
too loud and incessant
close to the thoughts of youth

With blood spilled,
splashed over years
of adversity and trial,
we stand tired and stained
waiting for everyone
-else-
to change

To see the world through
a peaceful gaze
is to see the world in beauty

A beauty that is not often attained.

Feather in the Rain

I have a book.
            In this book I keep my heart.
    My heart was inked with a quill.
A quill made of a peacock feather.
                    This feather I found in the rain.
In the rain is also where I found you.
                                            found love.
I bet you didn't know it...
*but you are the author of that book

Thank you Dustin Jamieson for giving me the words Book, Quill, Feather, Rain and Love! I love it when you help me :)

The boy who flew too close to the sun

The boy who flew too close to the sun

We learned about a boy in class
In 1st grade, some god granted him wings
But he flew too close to the sun
and died and drowned a terrible death

I meet this boy a few years later
I tell him about my death-wish
Thats at the bottom of my bucket list
And he tosses them all away

He says his wings have been clipped
and that he still thinks hes drowning
in a sea of vast emptiness
And the only burn signs on him
are his eyes
like dying embers that I cant save

he kissed me with abandon
threw water into my heart
it was dried out and torn
you see
his eyes they burned their way down my throat
igniting a light
as he leaves

And I think about that boy
Icarus I believe his name
He flew too close to the burning flame
Like a moth to a light
and singed his broken wings

but they forgot out the part
where the sun melts his wax heart
and he drowns in the deep dark
blue

And I forgot to tell you about the ending
about the salt water in my lungs
that I lurch back profusely
I realize its just the second skin of a little lost zombie boy
This isn't CPR
this is choking on his dead weight passion
drowning on his blue eyed sorrow

Like he choked on the sea.

A work in progress. Any hints/tips/help would be appreciated!

P.S I know I got the story wrong.

Breathe

Breathe

Did anyone tell you, you can stop holding your breath now?
It's all clear, the fights over, your not gonna drown,
I think they forgot to tell you, It's okay to stop running,
Yeah, its silent but stop humming.

Your lips were blue and your hands were shaking,
You said the rain would do you good,
A breath of fresh air was all you were needing,
Just know that I did all I could.

Just know that I did all I could,
But no one could rescue you from the cold,
It stuck to your skin in the darkest of weather,
Darling you were soaked.

My hands could not calm your shaking,
My words could not warm your heart,
With each breath that you are now taking,
Someone else falls apart.

Do it again

Do it again

I realise why I'm drawn to alcoholics
after you, because you taste like one;
heat-filled,numbing passion.
Because you are certain of your drug
of choice
and can hold your liquor
So that means you can hold me
our hands only shake when we're sober
so lets stay drunk all the ******* tIme
and fight off these ghosts in beer bottles
ode to Jack Daniels for leading us to
true love
because there really must be a god
if something as sweet as this
could exist

Until the morning when we wake up
still slightly
drunk
staggering, stuttering
dark eyes and muttering
apologies for what happened
"last night"
but were not sorry because well do it again
just bring the whiskey
Ill bring a pen

So I realize you're as smooth as the poison you drink
and as sharp as the blade
i use to inflict
these toxins of waste in my breath
on my skin
but we'll do it again
yeah we'll do it again
