Palette
Katie Ruby Jul 2015
Describe the colour blue to someone who can't see.
The smell of saltwater,
The winter mornings on a train platform,
Cold skin,
The texture of denim,
An ice cube on the tip of your tongue,
A slow and steady voice.

Describe the colour pink to someone who can't see.
The smell of a flower,
The spring breeze gently touching your skin,
The texture of fluffy socks,
The soft pillow you often had as a child,
Bubble gum flavoured ice cream,
The soft sweep of blush against your cheek.

Describe the colour yellow to someone who can't see.*
The laughter of a stranger,
The sunshine glowing, early morning,
Butter melting into your toast,
Warm skin,
Sand falling through your fingertips,
The bent pages from an old book.

Hero?
Katie Ruby Dec 2012
Crash! Kapow!
You call yourself a hero?
You don't know the meaning.
I run, your personalised ball-boy,
The Dark Knight and his shadow,
Trailing behind, holding the coats,
Each day the same, never seen
Just a sidekick
...
Now I have grown,
Exchanged that emerald gear,
Black trousers, a polo neck,
No longer need to be seen,
People no longer stare at the man
who followed, the man who tagged along,
Getting into trouble and causing havoc,
I am who I am,
Holy Robin Redbreast! Scream tabloids
Have I said too much? The mask holds
Identity but what if that got lost?
What if the Robin opened it's beak,
the Bat would have nowhere to fly.

A Mirror's Arrogance
Katie Ruby Dec 2012
Across the room you stand,
Tall, long and thin,
Light gleaming off
your flawless, smooth skin.
I call you a friend,
Yet sometimes, you aren’t.
Frequent jibes,
Every day, taunting
Refusing the gift,
I have always wanted.

You are not cruel,
Only truthful,
Very tactful,
But sometimes,
Brutal,
It’s not only I
who trembles at
your opinions on
imperfection.

You are still always there,
You watch me as I fade into slumber,
You are the first one, who helps me,
When I awaken,
Sorting through jeans and
Hand knitted jumpers,
You determine my style,
And I can hardly loathe you
for that.
Yet you still act all noble,
You have seen me smile and cry,
Sometimes you help,
Sometimes you hide.

I fear the day you notice
the creases in my skin,
The marks on my hands,
The silver in my hair,
I know you won’t change,
You’ll act all wise,
Glance at my decay,
And my upcoming demise.

A Sonnet to the Sea
Katie Ruby Dec 2012
A lone island tranquil and still,
Her faint figure, hard to ignore,
Concealed in the shadow,
Men drawn in, the promise of more,
Ripples of the sea sparkle,
The setting sun ignites the waves,
Body outlined, beside the twilight,
Her poignant song travels to the pirates sails,
An oceans teardrop falls on her skin
No fairytale, shells, coins and gems,
Awake and alive, her smile enchanting,
He discovers her world, a surprising escape,
Lost in her eyes, reality crumbled,
And his dreams began to take shape.
A little look at the sea, in particular, mermaids which I've always been fascinated with.

Agent of Chaos
Katie Ruby Apr 2011
Always smiling,
Always laughing,
Never caring,
Appearance is nothing,
Thick paint fitting
the creases on your skin
Scars that mean so much
tell so many stories
that you dont know which to choose.
Evil is you,
Ambition: Cause havoc,
death? Who cares.
insanity, people say but you know
it's who you are,
making people crash and burn,
even the good and honest,
enjoying the pain of others,
that's why you ****,
seeing people's last emotions
a blade tearing apart families
just for the thrill,
maybe even to prove a point,
at the end of the day
you're just another man
wanting to watch the world burn
Why? Because it's fun.
for those who arent familiar with the phrase 'Agent of Chaos' its associated with the character of The Joker. I wanted to write about him mostly from The Dark Knight but really just his character - I find him so disturbing and menacing but at the same time completely brilliant :)

Planets Bend Between Us
Katie Ruby Apr 2011
Colourful kites form constellations against the sky;
comets, planets and stars, all condensed into a
single, crowded horizon.
It’s such a clear day, galaxies seen for miles.

The vastness of space is something
one cannot comprehend,
the size, the emptiness,
even the darkness,
the stars help outline the skies,
but to the naked eye, space is nothing.

Clouds inhabit the sky,
never really caring about people's feelings,
they rain when they feel miserable,
they give random rays of light when feeling
generous, and laugh at us whilst we moan.

The universe we live in is so vast,
Full of wonderful miracles,
But full of pain and loss,
Everyone has their own universe,
everyone chooses their own paths

Sensual Woman
Katie Ruby Jul 2010
Sometimes love isn't enough,
Lust is hidden in everyone,
Hidden deep within,
Amazing places can be picked for ****** adventures,
I am treated like a rare and precious gem
And do not lose his respect for being so wild,
The bedroom can be a place where imagination is born,
Imagination and desires are the most important weapons,
Alluring colours and sweet moments on the lips,
******* is physical,
It's language with it,
Bad words are not bad words in the bedroom,
But used by lovers to express their love,

Love is a symphony, a melody and a song
Love is an adventure

Palm Reader?
Katie Ruby May 2010
You sit there looking smug,
Across the table, a mile away
Yet close enough to push your way in,
Interfering in many lives and dreams,
Places you're not welcome.

You are a stranger to me,
A quick handshake and friendly smile,
But when you grasp my hand,
It all changes, You
walk in my mind and memories,
Creases in my palm are your
pathways to my life,
the windows you peek in,
the doors you like to listen through,
The kind that makes you know,
Makes you notice the details,
I don't even recognise,

That's how you operate,
Meddling in people's affairs,
Getting a taste of their problems,
Yet running at the first hurdle,
The glass ball shows you the things
you want to see, But
fails to show you the positive,
I do not need to be shown the future,

Because I can control my life.

Never Let Go
Katie Ruby Apr 2010
I remember the day we met,
What feels like centuries ago,
Gone in the blink of an eye,
Pink Pyjama's and dad's old slippers,
Only a child, you repeated to me
The glimmer in your eye
still remains today,

The years passed,
Me - Growing older every hour,
You - Never aging, withering,
Promises still growing strong,
Your presence becomes my life,
Clinging onto childhood, By
Clinging onto you,

I hold your hand, Both
desperate to stay in the imaginary,
Without slipping into reality,
Each day, a new adventure,
Yet you have to fade so quickly,
I rest, we talk for hours,
When I awaken you're never by my side,

As the years go by,
I fear you'll disappear completely,
My mind is weakening,
It's only a matter of time,
Until I forget.

My daydream, hope, fantasy,
You finally escape from my mind,
And now I have to face reality.

Teenage Kicks
Katie Ruby Mar 2010
Music blares,
   Through tatty headphones,
Hoods hide heads,
   Spotted, youthful faces,
Glum and wretched,
   'The whole world's against me'
Strict regulations,
   Never free, Obeying
Someones orders,
   Parents, teachers, what do they care?
One day adulthood will catch up,
Money and worries, work and stress,

                Whereas now, all there is to think...
          What can I do today?
       eat what I like,
Buy what I like,
   Dress how I like,
  Simple and carefree,
                   Glad and happy,
     Pink prom dresses,
         And new cinema tickets,

Soon be replaced by grey papers,
Responsibility, tea and TV
      
The sun shines and doubt is lost,
            The teens of today scream
They know what they want,
                     They are lucky to have it.

Strangers
Katie Ruby Mar 2010
Marie and Charlie,
Mother and Father,
Grandma and Grandpa,
Yet I gaze upon a photo,
Black and white,
Torn with folded corners,
And a crease down the centre,
Youthful grins and life in their cheeks,
Not a trace of parenthood,
Not a trace of responsibility,
They're just...people.
Could even look unwelcoming,
Could be misjudged as cold,
Yet a job as mother and father,
Warmth comes with the title,
You adapt, become someone else,
Change, who knows whether it's for
the better, and the couple fade,
The couple become a family.

Frozen
Katie Ruby Feb 2010
We met only today,
And I instantly knew
We were a match,
Two peas in a pod,
The old saying goes,
His smile is constant,
His eyes always shine,
He towers over me,
My companion.
We never do a lot,
Sometimes we just talk,
He is a outstanding listener,
He keeps closed, Never
Telling me secrets of his past,
But I never ask,
Just nod and grin,
It sometimes grows cold,
But he never moans,
Never whines,
Frozen in time
'Come in! You'll freeze!'
Screams my mother,
My head turns to see her
Shaking head and rolling eyes
'He'll still be there tomorrow!'
I'm nine, I'm not an idiot,
The sun is rising, the roads are
Clearing and tomorrow...
He will have melted,
My companion.

Hope for the Hopeless
Katie Ruby Feb 2010
Never a day goes by,
When I don't wish things
Could be different,
That she was out of the
Picture and it was just
You and I.
She is no longer in your life,
But she's everywhere,
A ghost that haunts every
Waking moment, And
She will never leave,
Possessing you 'till
The day you die, Never
Letting go, and in the mean
Time, I am stuck, I
Cannot leave, My devotion
To you is too strong, I
Would break my own heart
By walking away, But you
Are making it crack,
You are oblivious to the ways
Of my heart, Focused deeply
On the Lost Girl,  Never
Moving on, I will never get
My chance, I will forever be
The Rebound Companion.
The Other Girl.

Reflections
Katie Ruby Feb 2010
A woman sees her picture,
She can't resist a glance,
Passing a shop window,
Would she change,
Given the chance?

Big nose,
Small *******,
Short arms,
And the rest,

She looks over
She hates what she sees,
A beautiful woman,
'I can't eat what I please!'

Dye can only do so much,
Creams and shampoos,
Sport and diets,
You'll just gain the pounds you
Lose.

Size 14,
Once so huge, now the norm,
Clothes show buldges,
Body far from the perfect form

You stare into a mirror
and what you'd like to see
Is your teenage self
In all her skinny glory,

Yet for those you don't know
Strangers passing by,
Wouldn't stare and think
She's eaten all the pies,

Whilst your lying eyes,
Set out to hurt you,
People will see and think,
I wish I looked like that too.

Snapshots
Katie Ruby Feb 2010
Good times that are frozen in time,
Never will they fade,
Memories can be erased but
these are forever.
To remind you of the Good Ol' days,
Strands of hair immaculate,
Colourful, new and fresh,
Creases have not yet appeared on
the skin, eyes still young and naive,
Those teenage spots that are soon
the most important thing to you,
Yet as age begins to grow on you,
they become another small detail
One of those things put to the back
of your mind,
Old age brings stress, pressure and
hard work,
Youngsters biggest worry is what to wear,
red goes with black, but blue matches
white, heels or boots? Hair up or down?
Nightmare.
Dust collects and time passes,
black and white or even sepia,
disorting the image like it's a hundred
years old, the most precious thing in the
world, But to you
it is.

The End is the Beginning
Katie Ruby Feb 2010
Found - Part I

I think about what we
could see together,
the places we could
visit out there, all the
wonders waiting to be
watched, whisking me
away from reality, the
pain of normality and
grasping my hand,
everything floating
in perfect peacefullness.

Before you, I was worthless,
I didn't smile, didn't sing,
So bored with the world
I let it take me over, blinded
by the grey that imagination
was killed and couldn't see,
worlds that needed to be
explored.

I came to you, hurt,
Lost and lonely, little
did I realise, you were
the same, in need of
someone, someone's
company, friendship, love.

Two people don't have anything
in common, except their unhappiness,
Opposites attract, Fate, Destiny
Something to explain the tension,
Something to explain the feelings.

If I were older, you younger,
A winning combination,
I see the stares you sometimes
give, when you hold me, you
squeeze a little too tight,
I begin to wonder, do you want
more?

I am dreaming like a girl
So in love with a wrong world,
One not meant for me, I
begin holding onto something
that never had the strength to
stand, living a life you didn't know
existed had consequences.

It's taking me far away,
from those who care,
those affected by my
choices, yet they suffer,
They spend their lives
waiting, and I spend mine?
Living.

You send me away,
Keep me honest,
I come back,
I always come back.

It's your heart
I've been seeking,
Your eyes I need,
Your arms I have
been yearning for,
So confident, but
when it comes to
the things that matter
Silent.

Every now and then,
You run,
into a state of depression,
Never letting in,
Could make the bravest
men feel fear, send
cold shivers down my spine,
Just the sound of your
Voice.

You think you know
what's best for me, for us,
You shield yourself from this,
to stop the hurt, yet you're
already in too deep,
Pulling away now would
hurt even more, you and
I.

Lost - Part II

My head pounds,
My heart is beating,
A new rhythm trying
to stay alive,
How can I live, when
half is gone? You
fade away taking it
with you, I was so drunk
on your smile, too
stupid to notice.

We were/are both alone,
We could have been,
Together. Forever.
You fixed me, when
you were a broken man
Hearts can be mended,
I healed yours.

Hope? That's the only
Thing I now have,
Only thing I can ever have,
Love? Never can I start
Fresh, you will always be
The One.

I like to believe you find it hard,
I need you to be happy, but I
Will always possess you,
Just like you control me,
You'll find your own way,
They'll all follow you, whilst
I live, half of me dead.

Waiting? You have no idea,
Days have become minutes,
Worthless and stupid,
No content, nothing accomplished,
No need.

The times my eyes close,
The times I begin to dream,
Is the only oppurtunity,
I see your face, those chocolate
eyes, and your voice, my
Name in whispers.

Repair - Part III

I see you first from a distance,
Your thin posture, big hair,
I can't feel my bones,
I need to stare, for a moment,
so I don't believe it,
If I believe, I might start to
Fall, I couldn't take the pain
a second time, but when you
turn and see, I think
to hell with being killed,
Here and now, all that matters,

I could try and think
The billion things that
Could be said,
Words, letters, I've
Practised, But no time.

I will always love you,
No matter what the price,
I have to pay, it'll never
End, the ongoing affection,
I see us together, united
Until death, life filled
With the small compliments,
The little kisses, subtle glances.

I see the conflicts,
Battles, arguments,
The misunderstandings,
That's what makes us
Human, that's what
Makes it fun, what
Makes it worth it.

We're here,
And our lives are short,
We should enjoy
Whatever it is
We have fallen into,
Soak up every last minute,
Before it gets broken.

Percy
Katie Ruby Feb 2010
The classroom.
The most ordinary place,
you could ever hope to
go, yet what could
happen inside,
is a mystery
no one has figured out.

So, I walk in
Brunette, pink lips
Ears too big,
And he's there,
The new boy,
His hair flops,
Covering his eyes,
Skin perfect,
Not smooth,
Not clear,
Perfect.
His voice deep
Sitting at the back,
Quiet and lonely,
Waiting to be filled
with knowledge or
understanding.

I speak for the first time,
One week later, He  
smiles, and relief rushes
through me, He
speaks my name, I
could take to how he says it,
Different and original to
everyone else,
We exchange glances and
I walk.

We kiss for the first time,
One week later, He
walks me home,
My pals following
close behind, they
laugh, but I just jump.

Ten years later,
We marry,
Rings exchanged,
Vows are said,

People say they hated high school
But me?
I thank mine. Mine gave me
Percy.

Passport Number
Katie Ruby Feb 2010
The picture,
a blank, formal take,
Expressing not your smile,
Nor your happiness, But
your dissapointment,
You're hard, stern,
Miserable.

Your number,
you are not a person,
You are a digit in the eyes of the
Gods, noone cares who you
are, what you do, where
you go, do what you
please, they don't turn their
heads.

Your name,
a title that cannot
suggest your character,
People shout it, but
sometimes never know
the person underneath,
The most beautiful
name, the most
hideous idiot

Coming from the other
side of the world,
No one cares.

She smiles,

She walks,
He wins,
They hug,
They kiss,
What love
is this?

The Concept of Unwelcome
Katie Ruby Jan 2010
Tears flow
sobs quietly escape,
noses are red
eyes are swollen
your face a mess,
You realise the

pillows are wet,
hair falls in your face,
You cannot think straight,
Sniffles and heartbeats
rubbed eyes and pain,

Knock,
Eyes shut rapidly,
Duvet pulled over,
light turns off
the door opens and closes,
eyes are open,

"Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
This is thy sheath;"
Juliet, heroine of my world,
reduces me to tears.

Promise
Katie Ruby Jan 2010
What if, when a woman
Turns twenty, she is
frozen in time by her
200-year-old love?

She wants him
By her side, together
But as age takes over
It tears them apart
Turning the insides of
her head mental,
and his mind turned
Insane.

Too much difference
Yet looks match,
no grey hairs,
Similar smiles

They remain, Stuck
in their own world,
Friends passing them,
Only their hands touch,

They think it's perfect,
Yet even a fool can see,
they were doomed, From
the start, their forever
a clouded misconception

Love bonds them together,
Age is forgotten in their life,
Would not trade their situation
for anothers, they would never go
back, back to the simple days.
Happy to be floating,
no real home, no real age,
but more content than any pair
Ready for forever

Where The Story Ends.
Katie Ruby Nov 2009
So this is it, I suppose this is
What we were always headed towards, Well
aware but in so deep I couldn't reach out,
and now it's too late to change,
living the day as it comes and not looking,
our future was doomed, any fool could
Tell but we kept smiling to cover the
Bruises, bury the emotion deep underneath, And
denial everytime they asked, and now it's done.
Finished, completed, put it as you wish, You
made the choice, in the end fate made it instead,
pulling me cruelly and unfairly from your sweet touch,
it was inevitable as it what happens in the end to them all,
and why would you be any different?
I was selfish enough to keep running from the growing
Guilt that would one day catch up to me, Never
letting me forget that I will lose you any day now,
The guilt I feel now is unbearable, but knowing you are safe,
Knowing you still have hope and can live, Even
if it breaks my heart to think about you without me by
Your side, your name will crop up many times in the universe,
And I will have to live and fight another day, but why?
Because I know you wish it.
I fade from your life now, your sobs crush me and you can run
To the familiar arms of a mother, I
am accompanied by nothing but silence,
No one to tell me what to do next, no ones life to ruin,
hope is all I am left clinging to, for if that fades,
so does my life, it's almost not worth carrying on, But
for you I would do the impossible,
Sometime, some place I know I will find you,
even when time catches up and I find myself withering
I will see you again, a huge embrace, and tears stream
because I know it's not the end.
It's only the beginning.

Forgotten Belongings
Katie Ruby Nov 2009
Dust collects, the ravages of time takes effect,
A firm piece of my memory and now you are
Left, As I grow up you stay the same, an innocent,
emotional mess, reunited with friends you thought were lost,
and lost are the ones you thought would last forever.

Smiles and laughs were once sewn into my life,
Now I face a dilemma, do I really need you now?
In my hand you lay, and moisture fills my eyes,
the good times, where have they gone?

Forgotten and sealed in cardboard where you may,
Never be loved again, wasting away until peace takes you,
Mine forever? Frozen in time?
Life is full of memories and you will always have a part in mine.

Gone but not Forgotten
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
The mountains would shine, Echoes
of their singing rung through the cities below,
Brilliant blue skies were never doubted, And
the hope of better things was never wished,
this world couldn't get much greater.
Childrens laughs filled the atmosphere
and shining sparks ruined the darkness of the nights sky
Hands were touched and glances were exchanged, Smiles
never faded and tears would never be shed.
Beauty defined the world and the people,
they would dazzle even the most bitter creature,
Love would last forever and could never be ruined.  
Routine ruled, yet thats what made this planet brilliant,
how it maintained it's wonder and disbelief.

A child cries, and thats when it stops.

Beauty becomes a thing of the past
                                  
Swarms of evil swoop,

Buildings crumble, burn and die,
                      
Screams now echo through the cities,

Tears fall and Love follows closely,
  
People are lost and hope begins to fade,

Fire grows, scaring, bullying people out of their homes,
                
Blood draining out, leaving men grey, Like
                       the sky the darkness had consumed,
                  
Energy is lost, fighting back is pointless

Smoke starts to fill the atmosphere,
  
And the planet is ceasing to exist,

Cries of many mothers are heard,
Lifeless children in their arms,
Many wanting to live on
but the need to give in and perish, conquers,

This once-peaceful world will soon become forgotten or unknown,
              
A decision needs to be made,

Would you jeopardise your world in the hope the other may be
destroyed?

Be the killer of your own kind and the killer of your enemy?

The choice is made,

Sometimes you cannot escape the inevitable,
                                                      
Sometimes things have to be done.....

Who's To Blame?
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
What will the world become?
Natural beauty, fresh air,
you cannot escape the green,
Thick smoke, grey buildings,
a dying planet.
No more blue skies,
rain pours at a constant speed,
showing no mercy no matter who begs for it,
Metal, darkness, concrete, glass,
all of it means misery.
What happened to the sun?
Roses? Nature? Happiness?
The world moans,
we have killed it,
we are killing ourselves,
every second nearing destruction,
the world will soon become
nothingness,
and who'll be responsible?

It doesn't need to be said.
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
You just walked away,
Fear.
Didn't look back,
Regret.
So scared of...
well, What?
Me?
Us?

When people ask of me
what is it you say?
Are you embarrassed?
Ashamed?

Thoughts belong to people
and I don't care what they are.
You think it's you and me,
and quite a lot of people
But
it's just me and you.

I want you to realise
that the game is over,
We both want this
But if you can't accept
the change, then the spark will
begin to fade

I can be serious,
Can you?

Time

The Goddess of Time stands in the starlight,
Powerful and beautiful still,
She can see the day and the night,
And control my hearts, she will

The future, present and past
all inside her head,
Who would have known my love would grow so fast,
So much to be said

Worlds would turn and look,
Just to see her smile,
She caught me offguard, a moment it took,
All mistakes vanished for a while

Her lips found mine,
Absorbed my fears,
Suddenly lost in time,
Faded the tears

For now she has returned
and all the things that she knows,
Mistakes of space that burned
her head has cleared,
and I have back my powerful, beautiful Rose...

Not Always What They Seem
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
What is percieved as
the simplest man,
Could be a man so complex.

The most fit beast in the wild,
so strong, so protected,
could be the most sick.

What is a dull forest,
Can turn quickly
Into; a child's nightmare.

Darkness is friendly,
Until you go out,
And see it for yourself.

What may seem like the coldest winter,
May be a warm day,
to those with smiles.

The wolf's howling,
can scare away,
or invite home.

Why can't things just be simple?

Love

Love can cure
Love can ****

Love can make us feel things we don’t want to
Love cannot be forced but cannot be prevented
Love can be strong
Love can be weak

Love brings us together
Love never dies
Love can make us happy
Love can make us weep

Love causes broken hearts
Love causes hatred
Love transports you to a make-believe place
Love causes dreams or nightmares

Love makes the world go around

and she’s gone
You blink and
you miss her
You sleep whilst
she guards
When you’re alone
she protects you
Her touch causes
a shiver
Her voice soothes
Her kiss heals
She never leaves
Stays by your side
from birth till death
Innocence surrounds her
Immortality is her gift
You will never be alone
Always there

From beginning to end.

Inevitable
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
No one likes change,
Tradition pleases everyone.
So why does it happen?
You cannot stop it
no matter how hard you try
Every day something changes,
your age, your ambition
and yet we drift through time
sometimes without realising change,
right in front of us.
Sometimes its for the best
yet we do not understand
Sometimes change ruins everything
and can destroy us
Bringing out the worst in us
But it makes us who we are today...

Empty
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
You came
You changed my life
Now you’re gone
I’m empty
You held my hand
You touched my lips
Now you’re gone I’m empty
I was shallow, I was wrong
I was healed by your smile
I was happy I was content but
now you’re gone I’m empty
I was a closed door
But you found the key
But now that you’re gone I just can’t breath
We laughed we cried
When times were hard
Our smiles still never died
You faded from me
An image far away
Reaching out to touch you
To tell you
What I’ve always wanted to say
I never got the chance
to say how wonderful you are
how you changed my life
and how I owe you so
I miss you and need you
Without you I have nothing
So I will keep fighting

Because whilst you’re gone I’m empty…

Enchanted
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
Happily Ever After...

I could be the mermaid lost at sea,
I could be the Alice of your Wonderland,
Villans lined up with swords and spells,
We'd fight them all to the end.

Magic mirrors and haunted homes,
Singing trees and enchanted wands,
Ogres and dragons,
We'll visit them all.

Three wishes and glass slippers
Sisters and dwarfs,
I could be the rabbit of your hat,
I am Wendy if your my Peter.

Once Upon A Time...

For Di
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
There was never a time, when
you left me,
I can't remember a time, when
a smile wasn't on your face,
The best times of my life,
with you in my company,
The rest were just faces
merging into the background,
you were the person that made
my life happy.
Not once did you complain,
making the best of every situation,
so many amazing times,
that I miss every second of the day,
6 amazing years,
I'll never forget,
We miss you and love you

Close Enough
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
Wind through my hair
Waves arguing, their constant shouting in my ear
The sand was wet and thick
Flashing images of small children
Gulls flying high

His arm crept around me
And his warmth passed through me
My head rested on his shoulder
Nothing was said

I had fallen
Fallen hard
I loved the warm feelings
I loved the way he looked at me
His smile so bright

My arms were around him
Pulling him close to me
Never wanting to let go
And my heart melted

Our hands entwined
We stood up
The rest of our lives waiting for us...

Blank Canvas
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
At the start of life,
You can be anything,
Good or bad,
Rich or poor,

You can be
brainy
or
popular
You can be
fat
or
thin

You can
fall in love
or
break someones heart
You can
get up and go
or
waste the days

Life is a blank canvas
and what you paint on it
is up to you...

Black & White
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
Colour is drained
from our world,
Leaving a hollow, empty shell

Emotion has vanished,
and the best parts of life
have been picked at
and tossed away

It might bring out the best in us
or it could show us the worst,
Each day, an easy path, or
a struggle to remain living

People come together,
but it can tear people apart,
Kisses and smiles,
Blood and tears

Humanity is a strange thing...

A Shadow in the Snow
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
The bitter wind hits your face,
you put on layers, But
are never quite warm enough
always one part that insists on, staying
cold, refusing to accept the warmth
you offer it.

Wools and furs,
Nothing helps, yet when
a roaring fire is waiting
your feet start to realise, they're
defeated.

You look out and sympathise,
With the poor soul running from the hail,
Nose red, hat half off
fighting and losing the battle.

The warmth is shared,
But it's got a special place in it's heart, for
you, the smile is passed,
You realise your home.

A Lack of Colour
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
Always unhappy,
Show me a smile,
Can't remember when
I last saw you laugh

Your sad eyes,
Full of doubt
lose sight of your
courage; and the
world makes you small

Your true colours come out,
And shine through,
The best part of you,
without a shadow of doubt.

Devoted Prince
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
You used to be just another face
blending into the crowd
but now you are special
you have become unique
the person my mind won't let me forget

the person I was is lost,
and what was then a deluded fool
has now become a devoted prince
still foolish in his own right, for
he is a ***** to think this could last

Nevertheless
he cannot let her go
for some things
are worth getting your heart broken for...

Half Heart
Katie Ruby Oct 2009
Everything about you makes me ache,
Letting you go was the biggest mistake,
Deep and captured your soul may be,
Your smile comes so naturally,
I watch you smile, what brings you happiness,
Now the chances of me forgetting, is less and less,
Your reaction to the slightest touch,
Never have I seen radiance as such,
I kept you close, I kept you near,
You bring out my blood, you bring out my tears,
You haunt me whilst I sleep at night,
But a simpler time is in my sight,
When you were mine, and
I could see
What a relationship such as this
Could one day be...

— The End —
