#glitter
There's nothing to see when you look at me.
There's no pretty cover when you look at me.
I am ugly. I am scarred. And I am imperfection.
A gentle whisper tells me
I will never measure up
Because what is gold unless it glitters?
It is identifiable solely by appearance.
I guess then, you wouldn't be able to identify me
You'd be able to put a finger through me, and realise
I am transparent. Nothing to see . I'm a ghost.
Inside I'm just air.
There's no "x" on the sand to welcome someone to the treasure inside me.
There's nothing inside me even if you tried digging.
You'd see that you could invest millions into something worth more than a treasure chest full of stones
Numb and harsh that's me.
No one bothers to look underneath anymore.
To see if I've gold.
Cause I've disappointed people
I've thrown people away
My only closest friend at night would be the gentle whisper saying -" all that's gold glitters"
My morning song would be the gentle melody singing-" all that glitters is gold"
And now....
My mind is a jumbled dictionary of words -" not", " glitters", " gold" , " all"
Bla bla bla it goes
And bla bla bla it ggooeessssss....

I open the box
And a dusty cloud floats
As the reflective bits
Sticks in all the nooks
And leave you little notes
You will discover if it fits
Or maybe it won't
And the pieces pinch
Right into your skin
The Reaction was postponed
Memories make you flinch
You didn't know while it had been
And the Glitter will stay
And be there on the things
Only hinting with sunlight bling's
However never will all go away

Glitter on my cheeks
Glitter on my eyelids
All over my skin
Sprinkled everywhere
Like pixie dust
I leave a trail
Everywhere I go
I leave a trace
Of shimmer
Unforgettable
And never erasable
Once I’m stuck in your mind
I’m stuck forever
any time you think you’ve cleaned me out
There’s more settled in hidden spaces
You poor boy
Shouldn’t have touched me
You have glitter on your fingers now

The new year came with gold and silver
Every sparkling snowflake to make me shiver
But soon the glitter will fade away
And the fireworks explode with cries of cheer
But in a few days, I'll no longer be back here
The glitter has smudged and faded away
With the old year gone, the new year lies ahead
And I'm sure that it'll all be fine
Because with January's new gold and silver shades
I'll still continue to shine
Even after the glitter fades

wrapped arms around a
glittered shimmer of air
and I whispered:
"I hope it all,
turns out
okay."

i think i figured out
while i'm alive
i'll bleed out on the floor
and most everyone will go around me
and silent sound will sit beside me
so i feel the burn on my skin
but the tremble of my body will harmonize with yours and the blood we lie in
will taste like glitter when i kiss you
and the sound will sit in another room
while we fall asleep
just for the night
just for the night
silence was the sound of us breathing in just for the night

bags under my eyes
glitter on my nails
impulsive thoughts
and my room is gross
I'm a star rock star?
well, not so far
but if I get the chance
I will be one, I guess

Put all your Dreams, in your Locker.
They are too precious to Display.
Someone may be out to Steal them.
When U are sleeping the Night Away.
Learn to live Life mediocre,
Don't flash around your Wealth.
Your Life, is no School Play.
Someday U will be chasing Health.
There will be no outburst of Glitter,
When U make it to the end of Life.
This is from Me, a sweet reminder.
Coz Life is full of Strife.

I remember when I felt the Great Shift before I even knew what it was.
Driving home in my glitter dress and your red bow-tie.
I played songs that reminded me of you, reaching out.
But when I turned to sing the lyrics to you,
you were a million miles away,
in another universe,
orbiting a different sun.
I tried to patch it up, putting my arm through yours like
a needle and thread through cloth.
We ripped apart in every pothole we hit on the road.
Still to this day, I wonder,
where did you go?

..What was meant was never said and what is satiable isn’t fed upon. Long to be that faun in a misty meadow, lounging at dawn on the grass, gazing upon the peaks of eternity. What are we learning and what’s with the misuse? We tenderly abuse that which we dwell on. Claiming it a love letter, when a Better view reveals(in a peeling manner) that these are just clingings of a scrotal piercing fashion. Latching to these attachments as sacraments of dependability, nullifies valued spectacality. The pureness to the core of reality and the mess is a beautifully delicious birthday cake which never ends

why do I love you?
those beautiful reasons
twinkling together
in the sunlight you bring me
giving it all so much more meaning

a small town park
nearing dusk
the glow of the sun was golden
as i listened to the ripple
of a distant lake
even then
i loved you
even then
a big city house
nearing dawn
the glitter on the floor was blinding
as we watched the sun rise
through the abyss of trees
after the party
even then
i loved you
even then

I morosely chew on my pencil top.
silently sigh at the damage done.
I look at him, my breath stops,
Him,
the bandage to my broken heart.
Drizzle of glitter from the stars
My version of pixie dust.

Try, try, try,
till you exhaust yourself.
And when you think you are tired,
try again.

A 3 year old's mind,
is filled with cupcakes and rainbows.
They see how glitter glows,
they know where the wind blows.
Yet,
They don't see the *** of gold,
That awaits at the end of the rainbow.
They don't know the colors,
Of this fantastic aglow.
But when they grow old,
They'll know.

i remember watching the sunrise with you
i couldn’t help
but get lost
in the depths of your eyes
tinted with the golden sunlight.
you felt forbidden.
i remember picking up
the glitter after the party
and every time our hands met
it felt like
i was touching paradise
but then i remembered
you were forbidden,
and i had been forbade.

How have you been, without me?
I watch you when everything else becomes tiresome,
when all the gold seems like guilt,
when all the glitter is on the ground,
when there is nothing else to see,
I watch you miss me.

the snow-covered mountains
glitter brighter
than stars
so when
i blink
i can still
see their beauty

you confuse me.
but that's probably
because my mind
is clouded with
uncertainty
and sprinkled with
champagne stars.
i've been walking
in a fog of feelings
and pushing them
further and further away
with every glass i pour.
it's not fair
to ask someone steady
to walk with someone
so unbalanced
so not ready.
but you like that my
soul is filled with glitter
and i tell myself
that's gotta count for something.
