#gown
I have worn a diaphanous gown throughout my life.
I did not feel the weight of the delicate gossamer at first, but then objects began to stick to the material.
I did not notice when it gathered trinkets of
moss and leaves.
Then as the years passed, the gown became heavier.
It collected photographs, letters, and other things I thought I had long forgotten.

Am I suffering beautifully?
Do I wear my agony like a crown?
Adorn it with pearls and jewels,
And parade it into town?
Is my pain reasonable enough?
Do I raise it up or tone it down?
I’ll try to cry pretty, tiny tears,
In fact, I'd do it in my gown!
For even in despair, I should be desirable,
Dare not to be emotional, dare not to make a sound.
To be a woman is to bleed, but glamorously.
There shall be glitters in the meltdown.

without a doubt
i should be walking out
all the images we painted
are embers on the ground
without a doubt
we can bow out
the best performances around
ephemeral frowns

Very evening
In the west
Up to sky, I
can see a
flying birds
dancing for
the song they
sing together
Peee *** ***
*** hwuit hweet
Peeeeee hwuitt
Chwuee weeee
Are flying birds
uniformly, wearing
multi-hued feather
gown, dancing on
the sky floor
Oh! It's wedding,
a wedding party
of princess
white dove
in the sky palace
of Avesdom

if morning thoughts be dust of dreams,
i amble about until
Evening,
with its spinster gown,
lays waste to all the hope of day.

I’m looking up to see the star,
a silver sky in sunless time,
the silver thought, in silver gown,
the star is shy, my lips are dry,
I’m looking up to see my gown,
a shyness storm in sunless time,
wait no more swallowed in delight,
dark, purple leaves, a kiss so bright.

They'll tear you apart
And still you won't care.
You'll do as you're told
In that thing you wear.
You won't ever see
Them when they do.
It's too much to look
And know that it's you.
So just close your eyes
This won't hurt a bit.
Before you count ten
They'll be through with it.

*She stitches on
Her collection of plastic smiles
To contrast her sad old soul
For her beauty radiates
Youth and love
While her eyes betray
The demons put on hold
She wears the world's sorrows
As a dazzling gown
With her own monsters
Clasping her feet
Reminding her of the
Skeletons she carries
With every step to the beat
Her eyes swim with horrors
Of the nagging ghosts of the past
But tonight she dances gracefully
Across the floor of glass
And she'll save some words of conversation
For every suitor coming her way
Though all the while she's planning out
How to spill her own red
On her own wonderful gown of grey*

not a beautiful gown
not high hills
I just wear my daily clothes
with my old shoes
I even can't apply make up on my face well
this head is still remember it
that million eyes weren't look at me
it wasn't like they did to another
who has elegant costume
well no problem, my heart said inside my ribs
that was my dream
I answered so many questions
I had a courage and a will
but
I thought that wasn't enough
I need a luck
my mom said that
my crown is not the real crown
because kindness will be your crown

I'm gonna take a wild guess
I'm gonna play you a blind chess
I'm gonna tell you how to deem
I'm gonna build you in my dream
You're an angel in a white gown
You're the diamond in my crown
You're the light glowing wide
You're the prayer I always hide
Now I'm awake and cannot see
Now I'm crying inside your sea
Now I'm handing you my last plea
Now I'm giving you all of me

Your shadow has fallen over this place
like the plague.
The chandeliers cower at your advent,
collapsing atop this innocent crowd;
yet the violins still play.
Your presence ensues consternation.
Who's next?
Who's time is it?
It is I from which your invitation has been sent.
I am elated you could make it.
My mask is you,
with rose patterns aligned,
a gown to match,
with a bone breaking corset.
From my painted lips,
Will you save me this dance?
Face to face, chest to chest,
force each breath from my lungs.
Twirling now to my sounds,
I follow your lead.
Dip me back into your arms, my sweet,
finally reaping me with a kiss.
You are my only love.

Your wedding gown still sits in my closet.
I refuse to touch it.
The last time I did,
it was sliding off of your fragile frame.
You seemed so happy in that moment.
Everything seemed so… Perfect.
The lights were on, and you didn’t care.
You smiled at me,
so deviously,
Because you already knew
You would be giving that smile to someone else less than a year later.

Glossy eyes and a glazed over smile.
Curled hair and an upbeat tone.
I walked up to you for what seemed like a mile.
Your eyes were down and you were on your phone.
I knew my name wasn’t in it so I had to take the chance.
You looked away.
Didn’t give me the time of day.
All I wanted to do was dance.
I saw you leave with him, but I wasn’t upset.
I tried my best but I wasn’t enough.
Its crazy how I can remember this now and still feel regret
All these years later I finally called your bluff.
Now you’re walking toward me in a wedding gown.
It’s impossible for me to frown.
But I still can’t help but drown and fight
The thought of you sleeping with him all those years ago
And I’ll never tell my brother about that night.

My neighbor's fine husband is home.
Whirring and hissing to a stop,
like some fairy tale benevolent monster,
his huge, unhitched truck cab
shudders and roars one more time
before being subdued.
Wearing this magnificent blue color
subtle enough for an evening gown,
it dwarfs the silver pickup
parked in front of it.

I dreamed of going to a ball once, all in red and gold--like Settareh from the old tales.
Only, I had no pari to help me.
My veil was secondhand, my gown plain, and my anklets of paste and plating instead of diamonds and gold.
But there was this boy, you see.
Not a prince, not the captain of a ship or a faerie lord, not a warrior, a healer or a mage...just a boy.
And I had the barest will-o’-the-wisp’s hope that he would dance with me.

A walk through the misty wood.
The trail latent with track of hooves,
which tell me the ways the forest moves,
into the endless green hood.
I would step to dance upon these tracks,
but the sound is what holds me back.
I shouldn't disturb the animals around,
or step on the forests leafy gown.
The powerful sounds of the forest,
not meant for a tape to be repeated
because the pure sound is sweet to my ear,
and to my heart, it will always be near.

He wore a velvet vest in a sharp side of town,
her crimson lips were enough to get him aroused,
it was her corset that would bring him down.
with **** and hips that over fill her gown
she wants to dance she wants to get down,
she walks so elegantly through the ruff parts of town
You want so much for her to know you now
but its something your insecurities wont allow
I gathered the courage maybe a bit to soon
giving me your soul in a dark candle light room
as you smell the rose peddles all around you
and all the other flowers in brought you in bloom
I never knew this time my words would swoon
I was wrapped around your finger like string in the loom
telling each other secrets, of all our fears and our doom
like the horror of your womb, and the life it once knew
my finger prints on your body, and on you immaculate gown
I made you dripping wet, even though I played the clown
smile on your face, joy on your body. leaving me in wow
I may not be stable, yet I thought we were on solid ground
our days growing numbered, and the love is winding down
strong love can still slumber, even if its world renown
you find solace in the heart of your possessions now
I ask you many things, such as to wear my crown
safe mental state left behind,remembering our vows
it made you feel so high to tell me I was low brow
we shared each others toa,yet we walk different paths now
truth should always be found, even if it causes pain somehow
I realized it was a dream within my mind
dreams become reality, if your not so blind
dreams can become nightmares if given time
you were my promise of perfection, souls intertwined
but true perfection can only live within ones mind
I saw such wisdom when I looked into your eyes
you said you saw it in me too, but it may have been a lie
I guess we wont see each other old and wrinkled as we die
horrible thoughts multiply in a morbid mind
I still have that velvet vest, and wear it now and then
press it to my chest, close to my heart, like a friend
I tried to leave you, there was many messages to send
you tried to leave me, and my ignorance I defend
I tried to leave you satisfied, tried to leave you satisfied
the pledges that were made, and the hate we hide behind
thought I never heard the things you said as you softly cried
you never thought id listen well I even read between the lines
I am so vexed we never think of the wages of ***
the chains you fasten to me slowly broke me down
your hands hastened down, and you still want a slave now
I hope you get what you want, on the way to the next now

I sit and I stare at a body so bare not a single hair can be found.
It moans and aches as I lay awake, another sleepless night I am bound.
I toss and i turn as my full stomach churns, thinking of my queen and her crown.
I dream of a dance, and maybe just a chance, but odds are I'll be shut down.
So I'll stick to my corner and yearn no longer for the woman in the pale gown.

In this river of wine
I love my love with love
Never known before
Don’t walk into this river of hope
wearing a robe
You don’t take a good bath
wearing your gown
Come naked
In this garden
Without clothes, without figs
I am glad
that you found me
How pure a flame now burns
This thirst
with which I burn

Behind this mask
You can't see
But its still there
Even if you can't believe
This black gown
And a black rose in my hand
This black mask
And a dark place where I stand
Here I call names
But you can't hear
Here I call for help
But you can't be here
*Leave me alone with cannabis
In this incredible masquerade
No one ever listens
But I can see your skin colours fade*
Everybody here thinks I'm perfect
They can't look inside
Everybody can't apprehend the laughter
Because they want it in concise ~
