There among the lushly verdant
Mosses damp and darkest green
Enchanted by a single word and
They call to life the darkness queen.

She slept with one dark resolution
Born of ages long forgot
Sworn to find her retribution
For what his villainy had wrought.

Sorcery built his path immortal
Claimed her castle of the North
Centuries five bring forth a portal
The key? One word to call her forth.

In an old, forgotten oak chest
A parchment found, it told the tale
Three women struck out on the quest
Resisting rain and blowing gale.

Gathered round the glade of green
At time foretold by old quatrain
They prepared to raise the queen
One word to resurrect her reign.

Rising now from forest floor
From deep within the ancient henge
Brought forth she flies to wage her war
Raised-up by one brief word: "Revenge"
"Stolen Thoughts" project:
-First line borrowed from Kelly Rose's "Jacaranda Tree"
He has a hold on it
It feels cold and hot with the intensity of it
My heart
it tricks me into thinking it's love, while he squeezes the life out of me
And then he lets me go
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel every pain I felt since I was born
I am the the pain I was given
It overmelms me
It crushes me, liquifies me
But this pain is nothing compared ot the broken heart he gave me
The hold he has on me is strong and unbearable
Tearing me apart while I try to pry his hold off of me
I feel it
Every rip and tear he makes on my soul, while I hear the horrible sound of my broke heart
Broken, torn, and ripped up
I fall
I fall into his arms of crushing betrayal
And I fall in love all over again
And his hold on me will never let go

Hypocrisy
Not anonymously
I know you are aware of the expectancy
To change
You complain
Get off of me
Me? oh I try to be
But you are a part of me
Me? who I?
I started to be
Until the game changed
What you started
You see
You? Yes you
Who else would I talk to?
Me, who am I?
I am you
You are me
We went from we
To
w      e
to
me
Just me

The butterflies don't leave me alone.
But then again they have been bothering for a few days now.
Just seeing you the butterflies come back and their wings barley touch me.
I wonder if these words will reach you
Penning them down furiously
Wondering, thinking
What's your reaction?
Are you happy, exalted that I deem you
This important
Or does it even matter anymore
Brush me off, treat it with disdain
Shrug it off your shoulders
Like the burden of these words
Don't lie with you anymore

Hey,
What're you thinking?
Will these words even get to you
I don't know whether I should
Show it to you
I feel embarassed at the thought
Of this ever reaching you
And you knowing that it was about you
Would **** you
I know where you're at
Just not with me
I feel pathetic

Yes, this isn't going to reach you
I am not going to put it in a place
Where you'll know this is me
And the 'you' here is YOU

My heart fragments a bit
I feel more downcast now
I've stopped writing so furiously
Lean back a bit
Examine these words
The black, the blue

What's the point
If I don't show this to you
How will I know
Your reaction?
Comments?

Do you remember that night?
With the city Lights.
The way they danced on the tiny waves
lapping the shore of lake Ontario.

Do you remember the moon?
With its orange hue.
We sang on that bench until morning,
up all night, just me and you.

I have previously posted a segment of conversations I had with a lover, in which we only spoke to each other in haikus. Believe it or not, the romance continues.

Words are just cop-outs/ My actions will speak volumes/ I hope to keep you.

Your words are weighted/ Your actions will build mountains/ I can't wait to climb.

Beauty is final/ You are borderline divine/ See you in my dreams.

I ******* love you/ I shall  meet you in the stars/ I'll intrude your dreams.

Faith is slight hopes lost/ Until you see the beauty/ Meet me in the sky.

I don't need to hope/ Knowledge is more powerful/ Sleep pretty my darling.

Know I'll keep you safe/ From all that wants you weakened/ We ******* prevail.

As you keep me safe/ I will keep you on your feet/ You won't see failure.

My head is spinning/ There is nothing I can say/ To show you my love.

I don't need your words/ I need you wrapped in my ribs/ Closest to my heart.

As close as atoms/ Dancing with one another/ You and I shall be.
