Sleeping with scissors
The comfort of their contour
Bring me sweet dreams
Of vivid, cutting edge scenes

Sleeping with keys
Keep the scissors at bay
Lock them together, lock them away
Keys, the insurance of my steel
Keep me safe, straight to the first meal

Sleeping with pins
Sharp, straight to the point
They lever lead me astray
Wit of a jester in a courtyard
Jesting
And jesting away

Sleeping with inanimate objects
Cold and dull
Keep me safe
They fill the null
Inanimate objects
Keep my bed full
Inspiration: Fell asleep on my floor doing crafts, fell asleep on my scissors and pin cushion as well as the key necklace that I took off.

Look into your kaleidoscope eyes
See visions change
Colors blur 'round
Reality twists and fades
With every shake of our lives
Seasons change
Slur into oblivion

I reach out and turn the hands of time
Back to when we were young
The summers long
Winters cold
Our minds ablaze
With ideas of revolution

Now we're old
Wise
With hindsight in hand
Not a thing I would change
All those fights we had
I would go through again
Just to be with you

The autumn breeze now blows
Carrying leaves across our feet
Chilly with the thought of winter
Halloween nears
The ghost of you
That's all I hear

Funny men in tall chef hats
Marching about so wildly
Stone soup and humble pie
Main course and dessert delight

Give me a dose
And that girl two
Vanity, her dream come true
Narcissistic uncaring and cold

A mid-evil blunder
So daring and bold
Spoiled brats
And rotting Brauts

Sugared too sweet
Not telling the truth
The gossip
And all

The Court jester
The village idiot
He sinks to the bottom
She cheers to the top

It's amazing the wonder
The high school scene
The many things
That relate to its sheen

The short stout bakers
Making profit from weakness
Some goods so smooth
Some just the opposite

The geeks and nerds
Hackers and slackers
Jocks with jerseys
And rebels with rock

Serve up course two and three
Let's make it a festival
Just you and me
Vanity and sheen

Were just getting started
This is high school
This mid-evil concert
For four years we live it

A new melody
A new song
It's not the end
But the struggle

Is on.
I wrote this my freshman year about 4 years ago now.

Love is...
Love.
Love?
What is Love?
Love is...
This is love.
Speechless.
My writing teacher put this up as a prompt. I had to idea what to write so I just put down some BS...She ate it up, loved it and hung it up on the wall. :D Haha

If I were a dragonfly
        You would be the wings that lift me high
        The eyes that help me see

Come one, come all
We together, create the greatest circus of all
You. You. and you as well
Stop by and see it happen
All of the glitz and glamour
They're fighting, over center ring
Silence please.
For the performers concentration
Come together and stop the fighting, please.
