incisors
cutting
ripping
down to marrow

filled with the sun
and singing to the moon

a creature
of dark and light

Across the ocean's dome,
Controlled by piercing shouts without a doubt;
On an altar in the distance:
An open book with censored words!
Tear a page,
Observe the rage.
Not what any freedom fighter would.

In a rowboat in the open,
Draw the source of their devotion.
Pencil sketch the jagged beard,
And stretch the nose a thousand years.

What a time to strike some fear!

The terrorists will echo with madness,
The pen is your sword.
The innocent will run to the forests,
And the artists make war.

Across the desert homes,
Contained by giant seas to some degree;
In a planetary orbit:
A crying team with crooked teeth!
See the page,
The winds enrage.
Not what any freedom lover should.

Bullets charge at the comedian's door,
Burning down all the carpenter's lore.
Sculptors mourne over severed stones,
The innocent turn, yearn, learn...

The invasions form, warn, and burn.

As the terrorists echo with madness,
Hold the pen as your sword.
As the innocent run to the forests,
Let the artists make war.

Throw the drawings ashore!
Prelude of "Pennons of Madness."

Those messages you sent
to me in the dark of night
mean no more now
than they did
when we used to fight.
Just stay out of my life
and leave me alone!--
I don't want you anymore
and no, I won't come home--
I have no home
with you anymore
and I wish somehow
you'd just ignore
that we ever were a couple
for any length of time--
you hit me, you spat on me
you committed a crime
and NO, I will not take you back
and give you ONE MORE CHANCE
you see, I've already done that;
already danced that Dance--
and I don't need a repeat
of what I considered a living hell
so get the eff out of my life
and know this:
I do NOT wish you well!
Why is it the past keeps finding me? He blew his chance and I will not ever allow him back into my life, my heart. I still have a few scars to remind me. Nope. Not happening, dude. Leave me Alone!

sitting in a coffee shop
a man is grinning while
he stares at his laptop
the light from the screen
reflects off his glasses
and his eyes are great
white orbs and he
smiles and smiles and
all I can think is
that I will never
hear you sing again
laptop song sing love hate *** violence angels friends God

Streets with the blood of our sins,
washing souls marked unfit
to save,
to much effort
it takes,
we say.

Homes torn asunder,
lives to shreds,
but we here cry about
broken nails,
and lost sleep
where the dead lie with
eyes wide.

Our devotion to violence is
the likeness
of the Moon
revolving
around our Earth,
constant,
relentless.

she cowers down
her cape draped around her shoulders
holes litter the shawl
allowing the snow to chafe her

the raw air punches her face even as she attempts to cover it
she dreams of invisibility
that the cape was transparent and white like the snow and the forest
that the darkness could encompass her
but it doesn't

she still hears footsteps breaking branches
deafening in her ears
her fear is palpable
it feels heavy and suffocating
her eyes are clutched tightly shut
afraid to see what will develop or appear

louder now
the footsteps
a branch nearby snaps
the wind slows down
quiet for only a few moments
but she knows that's what she should fear most
the silence before the storm

fingers swiftly scratch at her cape
rip whip marks through her backside
so severe she can feel the blood before it comes
she wails but nothing comes out

the hand snatches her
his long slate fingers pulling her towards him
his nails stabbing her skin
too much pain to even cry

She looked at him,
and with one swift word, denounced him of purpose.
" Im hurt" she whispered, as he backed away
He dropped to his knees and started to pray.
Begging her please to forgive what he'd done.
She rubbed her finger over a bump now attached.
A marking a man can never take back.
Tools hit their wives.

Jehovah is our creator and I appreciate the love that he has shown.
I will worship and love the Lord forever even if people break my bones.
People can beat me, stone me and whip me too.
But they can't stop me from loving Jehovah, that's something they will never be able to do.
If people want to persecute and attack me, let them take their best shot.
But if they think that violence will make me stop loving Jehovah, it will not.
Sarah Nielle Nov 2015
I can barely keep my eyes open
Yet, I can't sleep.
I'm wondering if I'm drowning in the ocean of thoughts in my mind or if I'm simply just too useless
To do one of the simplest tasks life gives.
I cant help but think.. And think.. And think.
Most of the idiotic things burrowing themselves in my mind are out of my control.
Things I cant change , and maybe I don't want to.
I don't want to change the memories of me and you, just like I don't want you to move on.
That means you're happy and im not.
That means I'm still left to ache while you never thought to even care.
You cried that night when you ended it.
But only because I was crying.
I was still positive about hearing that you had stopped loving me and you just couldn't find yourself to love me back.
..
You just couldn't find yourself to love me back.

You couldn't love me back

But did I ever love you

Or was it lust?

And ill tell you something. Life is not faith,trust, and pixie dust.

Life is tears, broken pieces , and someone trying to put those pieces back together.

You can't put together a broken heart when someone still holds that One. Last. Piece.
