the meditation of flames
On some clear night Their tale gets retold Silent sobs fill the air Thick with grief and memory As he kneels by the body of a Dancer With a gear-made heart And glassed copper eyes The ghost of her maker lingers here And her other half A few feet away All in their presence hear the whispers Of monachopsis A prince covered in life Tendrils of Ivy Spring from his ankles Slashes of moss Dapple his shoulders While twisting trees Paint his back His sobs fill the air Thick with grief and memory As he kneels by the body of a Dancer His lover’s soul split Two halves Two dancers Melomania led the charge In his demise A kiss sealed his prison One heart made of gears Another smashed on the ground Two eyes made of copper Another pair on the floor Chimes in the distance One dancer goes on Unable to stop There’s no mourning the other A prince covered in death Still tendrils of Ivy Spring from his ankles And slashes of moss Dapple his shoulders While twisting trees Paint his back A lover nearby Corpses of dancers Lay down beside Chimes in the distance Ring without greif His soul spilt A prince now alone

Marry feast marry fist and marry feast be over Tables turned scraps dancers turned to fighters drama a violent rattle

It is late, and the beer drips down my throat                                                              goes to my head meets the silence             tomorrow is too hard to think about                                                                       but tonight my youth dances with the alcohol                                                            they aren't good dancers but no one is watching and tomorrow is late

So the nature the dirt of the past is crushed under the wave of the future old relics of freedom stuck in the sands of time and an army rises from the ashes of coffee and newspaper stories heroes and nightmares metallic eyes arms tied to strings pulled by those forever gluttons in power since the beginning however silent they pull on their little dancers and we forget our saviors in this ocean this new sea of indifference.

poem from the bottom of a purse
I am the sea. I am the clouds. And the dirt you carry within your dreams. i am the pain. i taste the blood. Even though it’s 2 o’clock in the mourning and time to go home. To the nothings and the peculiars of an emptiest life. i am the child who once painted lipstick on a pet / the grimmest hour I stood alone / i wanted to die / and now i’ve grown up without the hope of a warmer house I could call my life || i am the tea. i am the cup. Of no particular taste and i want to throw up / and it’s always the last one who calls me hon / you should get a better life. ||| :: 09-06-2018 ::

EXOTIC DANCER
Pearls remained on the silted floor Dimmed rays cast over the abyss As garlands cover the ceiling The currents persist Come forth and dance your ballet And flow through the waves In everlasting grace And save me from my boredom Burbles occur and the reef rejoices As muffled voices emanate from the heavens For they are but dancers in the oceans And we frown upon them

The Dancers of the Ocean
I listen to a song of instrumental beats, I play it on repeat, and in this place, I am alone. I make love to the music: pouring my heart across the floor... My feet silently weep the echos of steadier feet I leap, allowing my own strength to carry me, and just for a moment, only a moment, I am truly free. My body collapses gracefully to the floor, where I lay, in the sound of my own heartbeat. This is where I make a silent prayer,In appreciation that I am here.

Steadier Feet
I hope there's a music playing To dance along, in this farm yard I wish everyday was peaceful, wavy Like the breeze is the choreographer The lengthy plants dance along And confess, we will heal your pain Just look at us, how happy we are This evening will cherish my mind By these dancers in the field, so green I must feel the vastness inside me Coz everything I worry, has vanished I feel no more remorse, wasting time- Here, I could fling into this lovely view She gets the goosebumps everytime The wind fondles on her belly, so soft Must admit the show was enchanting

Dancers in the Field (LtV - 5)
I wanted to write about the 1st of May Pagan dancers and girl queens dressed as Fey With green budding leaves in a delicate crochet Adorning their hairline in a graceful spray Crocus and bluebells weaved into archways They twist their ribbons in a beautiful bouquet In ancient ritual they move and sway Respecting the Spring Gods their blessings to pay   I wanted to write about the 1st of May ...... But what I should be writing is a fu*king essay...!! (C) Pixievic

We are dancers, Teardrops form a sad melody, Forsaken in the crying woods of death, Missery and sorrow join us. We are dancers, You and me, Our sadness forms the beat, Dancers of the national ballet of depression. We are dancers, You and me.

We are dancers
Dancers must have two extreme qualities Intense desire , gritty fortitude , and raw courage . . . . one two three , OK , dancers must have three extreme qualities . Dancers actually do break a leg upon the stage At parties they are the flight of the hummingbirds . Amazing what they do . Their tight limber bodies often make me wonder how I would do in bed with them My ambition was always tied to a rope that held me back Because when I danced (after twenty-four bottles of beer) It was on my face I always fell flat

Dancers can't have eating disorders. We are meant to be thin. We are made this way We are made to hide food to starve to throw it up As long as no one sees us As long as we can fake it Cause as dancers We have to fake it till we make it And we aren't going to make it if we are as fat as pigs. People don't like watching hogs dance. Don't worry the mirrors will tell us if we are the size of a stick or a stump. So no I don't have an eating disorder Dancers can't have those. We are created this way. {SM}

dancers cant have eating disorders
'Sometimes things just don't make sense and ignoring things won't make you dense, but some people can't say no, so if someday our minds do blow, from curiosity and such, we will no longer keep in our clutch, reality and questions thought, and hopefully we needn't sought the answers, non-factual, we've been taught.' Answers are for dancers: Never step left, always step right. Right on the course, where loyalist fight. Right in the angelic pose that they do. In fact, it'd be better if you weren't you. Just act like they act and you can get by, do as they do and never ask why. Answers I give you my dancers, my prancers, answers I give you to move the right way. Answers I give you my dancers, my prancers, because with my answers you never will stray. But if you do, I assure you, you've clipped the strings, and do know that it means you will shunned, an existence unseen, by the people who dance, the people who sing, by all the people pulled by my string.

Anwers are for dancers
Colours of blue, green and pink float by dancers dressed in grand outfits of silver cloth. A girl, not much older then 9, sits in the back row of the empty auditorium looking on in awe of what she was seeing. She closes her eyes and imagines herself upon the stage being the lead role. It's always been her dream to dance like them. A tiny tear prickles in the corner of her eye, she gives a soft sigh, knowing it's useless to dream of impossible things. She turns, careful not to bump the chairs in the row in front of her. She grips the wheels in her hands, and rolls out of the hall.
