To be beautiful
Is to be almost dead,
Is it not?

Your voice is never heard,
'Cause your face talks too loud...


I hate who they think I am,
And as a result, I hate them.
That's why I don't like a lot of people--
*You see, it's their fault!
Inspired by Penny Dreadful. A dialogue read...'To be beautiful is to be almost dead, isn't it? The lassitude of the perfect woman, the languid ease. The obeisance. Spirit trained, anemic, pale as ivory and weak as a kitten.'
This had me thinking...
You make me feel wistful
With your tight bellies, limpid eyes and endless manes of hair,
You make me feel afraid.

Dainty Angels,
I can't...Quite...Remember...

You make me feel jealous
With your waiflike allure, sad vulnerability, delicate beauty,
You make me feel inadequate.

Fairy Foundlings,
I won't...ever...be....

You make me feel ancient
Outside, dated and decrepit.
How do you feel? What do you need?
Why are you all so sad?

My dreams are your nightmares.
I tasted raindrops once, too
I almost have it, almost understand.

This bed seems so huge,

                                 so wide

                             and yet here we lay

                               like  we're

                oceans away

                          in the Mediterranean

        *spaced-out from each other,

                 your so far from me.


                            We're spent,

                                  in deliberate denial,

                                                 unfinished or satisfied

                                                            wit­hout words,

                        without understanding,




                                   we hold onto our lacerated heart's,

                                          giving in  the only way known

                     carnally,unabated & undoubted


    least in the carnal way.

                              I crave the unknown,

to be explored like never before,


                                        to be made whole

                                             and touched within my soul,

                                        where my body ignites

                         from the inside out.


                                                    I'd like to know

                                    what it'd feel like to be


                                                            ­ consumed

                                                     ­                   by  "Love's"

                           ­                                                         * lustful ******


                                                        ­         more than the

                                                  heat of passion,


                                 in such a way

                               which leaves me quaking,

                                               shaking, quivering

                                         and yearning for more.


                          Once we've spent our

     feverish attempts

             on last-night's seductions,

under a moonlit sky,


                                I'm left inexorable,

                                       as my body spasms,

                                                        ­         longing for more than

                                    what the flesh attempts to give.


                                            I'll argue against the pejorative

                               illusions of our love making,

                         which deludes my mind


                                             to believe this is what

                                               it means to have

                                  "Love's" acceptance


                          without the actuality's

                                 of loving me....


           We were intoxicated-

                               with wonderment

                                                  as we explored

                                         one another,


                                                 yet
                                                  "Love's"

                                   *touch nor "Love's"

              *inspirational caresses

                                 & soulful idealization's

                                             were present.


                      It never enter that room,

                                            sedately I felt a

                           magnificent release,


                                             * yet I'm still longing for

                      "Love's" fulfillment

                          *and for you to concur

                                         my deepest emotions,

                              as you'll ****** deeply

                                             within my velveteen walls.


                                  * I'll moan,

                            crying out for what's

                                             *about to come

                         and for that

                     moment we'll be one.


                         But only within

                that moment

      because you


             know as well

        as I do


              that "Love's"

                       making such


            a Fool of me!

IDK if this 1 will make sense or not but I wrote my feelings&thoughts;, so please be gentle-- my family&friends; and thanks for reading!
In the fuzzy haze of long and lonely, sunkissed days
I want you so, so much.
We have what we have,
I treasure every moment,
I will never ask for more.

But...I am thinking of you,
Walking slowly through a dappled glade
Thinking of me,
Beside a rippling stream,
Swirling currents, mirroring divergent thoughts and needs.

I wish I were walking beside you,
Would you hold me
Amongst the softly swaying trees,
The nectar drugged bees a choral swell
Accompanying a long and languid kiss?

Let me be the girl you dream of,
The one you glimpse sometimes,
Shimmering in the sun.
Smile when you see me,
Smile, and sigh, my love,
For there is nothing more.
Our dreams are all we have
Maybe, all we ever will.

— The End —
