there's a fever grinding
against the front of my skull
and ice is crushing along the
bends of my spine and i
haven't cried since i found out
i was dying
this is all bad metaphors
Sarah Oct 2014
Small, grainy dirt clings to my toes.
The chill of the wet ground syphons
the heat from my feet. I feel my nose
freeze in mid air, a drop of liquid ice
sliding down its bridge in silent testimony.
I step once. The soft cannot shatter. Twice.
The cushions beneath me would not break my fall
for surely I would drop below the ground
to sleep in frozen fire in my six foot stall
that I fill now with handfuls of clay
Just to feel the hug of my Mother.
My body shall return to her; my soul will rot away.
Lauren Batchelor Oct 2014
You are trying to rush me
Out of the bookstore.
Ice cream is not a substitute
For paper friends, fool.
Leave me, eventually I
Will unwind my way out
Back to reality and your
Overpriced milk products.

my life fits into boxes now
sealed off with masking tape
I’m leaving half a world
behind me
for new dawns and new days that lie
ahead
I am afraid
I just want to remain stationary
long enough to take it in
I want the time and the space to take an actual breath of air
to feel my lungs fill
with the warmth of the summer that here never ends
I want long enough to dwell
on that warmth that will soon elude me
these memories that will soon fade
Soon I will take in shallow breaths of ice
and only hope that I can make it through the next day
but what the heck
take me away
to the new dawns and new days
just let me say goodbye
oh, life
as I minimize.

I thought we would become that old couple
That we walked past on the pier
Sharing an ice-cream, the way she looked at him
As though she was still 18
But things change
Time, emotions, love, feelings, thoughts and actions
They all do too
And I suppose that you was right
When you said that we would never grow old
Serenity Elliot Oct 2014
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire,
I think it will end in a nuclear explosion.

I'm walking on ice
Slipping and sliding
Reaching out for a hand to hold
Some look and see the tears and the fears
And just run away
While others grab hold
But can't grasp the tears and fears
And just slowly let go
then walk away
Leaving me on the ice
That I can't seem to get off of
Some days it's like puddles
While others it's more like the Antarctic
With places of sharp ice just waiting for me to mess up
And places where I can hold my footing only for a moment
Reaching for a hand
With tears and fears in my eyes
So many have just walked away
But not you
You just hold your hand out and smile at me
Letting me forget just for a moment the ice beneath my feet
And remember the sun is out today
This is not the end
But the beginning
Still reaching for a hand to hold
And tears and fears in my eyes
I'm searching for the solid ground that I seemed to have lost in the flood
A solid ground to call home
A solid ground to help me see what is genuine and what is fraud
So I can wipe the tears away
And remember that this life is good
Despite the tears and fears that have created this storm
Stevie Ray Sep 2014
A sharp tongue with shark teeth
and a malicious smile with venomous saliva.
The reptiles eyes are like an alien planet.
It's soul lost within the depths of it's pupil.
It's like seeing tectonic plates shift
as they leave a black scar across a sandy red desert.
A reptile's eyes.

Dragon scales cover my skin.
For this world is filled with shattered hearts,
it is like stepping in broken glass,
I should protect myself from all your scars!

I've grown coldblooded from these cold emotions.
Icy stares and frozen thoughts.
Because your souls are trapped in arctic ice,
drifting in the same tides
every day of your cryogenic lives!

Witness the fiery eye that is the Sun.
It shines dimly behind radio active clouds.
Particles of chemical ash act like a mirror
spitting back solar rays in the face of God!
The arrogance that is man!
Earth radiates golden shadows
and the reptile is denied of heat.
I am forced to store my dragon's breath
inside the belly of my beast.
