Aria of Midnight Dec 2014
A judgemental, prideful and arrogant writer confines within his mind.
I never quite realised how important humility is in a writer; in order to express yourself, you need to stop judgement --of yourself through other eyes-- from clouding your expression.
Aria of Midnight Dec 2014
Writer
[noun]

someone who cultivates raw dirt to produce a single flower, blooming from the depths of their soul;
but grows addicted to its presence --beauty amongst darkness.
and in attempt to conceal the muddy reality, develops a garden with lavish, beautiful flowers--
of assorted variety, with unique traits of every flower and indistinguishable as stars in the night sky;
but harsh winter tramples with intricate footsteps, the petals tragically withered and torn as the writer's heart
their watery eyes acknowledging the dirt once more.
Aria of Midnight Dec 2014
I am a humble painting
hung upon a common wall,
composed of grey tears;
striking, yellow laughter;
trampling fear; undisciplined love,
of other human beings.
Aria of Midnight Dec 2014
you want
a part-time job
as a backup if the
guitar in your hands
fail to entice
under moonlit skies.

this kind of idealism
is the beauty I long for
in this  world of
status, competition,
envy.
Recently, I've been wishing I were more pragmatic: my idealism may cause more damage to me than I'd like.
Aria of Midnight Dec 2014
corrupt me--
through judgement
slicing through my
naked flesh,
and expensive
machinery
around my neck;

remind me--
of every insecurity
until it engraves into
my conscience
and scars blur hope
the future brings.

defeat me--
for I am small;
vulnerable and a prisoner
to those words
stamped onto my arched neck
with your shoe.
A confrontation of society and the power of words --when used to dominate over another.
Aria of Midnight Dec 2014
your silence is beautiful.

you express love
behind sealed lips
and twinkling eyes--
to return with my own,
in a vast ocean of emotions;
lavender, orange sunsets
all without a single
audible sound.

we reside
in a world
of our own.
