Tall Trees Reach Up
To Touch The Sapphire Sky
Red Dirt Paths Accent Nicely
With Green Grass And Nodding Ferns
All's Tranquil And Peaceful
In The Beautiful Forest
Sun Rays Slant Their Rich, Warm, Honeyed Light
Across The Dirt Paths
Winding Here And There
Spring Beauties Grow Beside The Path
Washed With Rain Their Blue Petals
Sweetly Scented Japanese Irises
Unfurl Their Blooms Towards The Sky
In The Forest Everything Is Quiet And Calm
It Heals Your Wounds And Brings Peace To Your Soul
Further On As We Walk Mist Fills The Air
All Around Inside The Forest
And All Around The Rich Red Path
A Hushed Spot Of Lavender
Grows Quietly Almost Without Being Seen
Periwinkles Refreshed With Dew Awakes
To The Bright Blue Sky And Twirling Mist
And Everything Is Beautiful And Green
We Walk Hand And Hand Unseen
Amidst The Pines And Dazzling Furs
We Smile And Our Eyes Dance
For We Are The Fairies
Who Will Forever Live
In The Forest

*~Marian~

to that one girl over there*

chock-full of intimacy,
i can't stop looking at the wrinkles in your hair
and the way they caress the curvature of your ears.
every smile drives me deeper into insanity,
and as your upper intersects with your lower,
i heave a sigh of pain.
waltz there, waltz here - your every move is like a dance
God Almighty choreographed himself.
My soul is like a bird - fluttering to the unknown,
but every season I come back for you.
your thighs were sculpted my Michelangelo,
your voice was crafted by Ella Fitzgerald,
your grace was gifted by your parents,
and my love burns hotter than the passion i have for you.

My bones have begun to rust over
Maybe the process began long ago
and I had not yet noticed.

My mind has begun to slip under
Maybe the abscess began long ago
and I had not yet noticed.

The taste of coffee on my lips
The architecture of my hips
My mind excoriates and strips
My bones which sink and slide and split.

It first started as mistakes
then with a couple heartbreaks
the effect leaving my life at stake

Flowing tears of waste
Oh how pitiful
this clear drop
that only brings me shock

I've heard of many, whom are no longer
able to fall in love
will I be one of thee

Quietly breathing
words stammered
My heart strong yet hammered

I would like to believe
that I am strong
but, since I've known myself
I can see clearly I am wrong

If, I breathe so much as the truth
I would feel sorrow
of telling victims
the deceit that they once believed

Forever is a long time
Someone once said to me
But, perhaps not
everything said
should be believed

The silence that slips so coldly
your fingertips sliding off me
as you leave with
your ring off set, near our desk

I knew you had left
quietness that shrivels and consumes me
Should be something
I should have already
gotten used to,
Silence

First time you peak the sun out of your prisoner's sell
1st time you feel your mind shivering inside ur head waiting to scream the words your heart always felt
1st time your heart feels love, waiting to stop beating
1st time u gasp for breath after you revolve around ur self
1st feeling of freedom inside your head, steals away your true self.

It's hard not to love you
Your smile blankets my thoughts and colors my dreams
You make it easy to sleep easy

Maybe all of this will go away someday
Everything that haunts me will vanish into thin air
This seems so unreal, but most things do.
How do we even know what is real or not?
You never really know how to tell.
Letting different things control your brain just makes it harder.
Everything is heightened, you are heightened
Never looking down, never going down
Energy is restored, you feel alive!
Doubts are gone, what are doubts?
I don't  even remember.
Of all the things going on in my brain, I can't pick one out singularly.
Experts can't even decipher who I am.
You have even told me that I am hard to read.
My mind has never rejected so many things before
Even when it rejected everything that used to make me happy.
Transform me into who you want me to be because I lost myself.
How can you tell me to leave you when you hold me up 89% of the time?
Anything we do is to benefit the other.
Maybe we can just leave each other without pain
Pain is inevitable in every situation.
How could you leave me alone without you
Even when you knew that you were everything that I had?
Together, I could breathe
Apart, I hyperventilate.
My mindset is that if I run fast enough maybe I will catch you my dear.
I will keep on running until I reach you.
Never have I ever tried so hard to keep someone in my life.
Everyday you stay, I am thankful to have you.
