Payed a visit to God's house today
Thirty feet high stained glass windows
Rows of hand carved mahogany pews
Vaulted arches reaching into the Heavens
Golden candlesticks and high alter

Who is He trying to impress?

Even the Joneses can't keep up with him.
Just social commentary, not meant to be sacrilegious. After all, God didn't build His house that I was in today.

It hurts me.
You're all I need beside me tonight.
Forever.
It hurts me.
I know we can't be anymore.
Forever.
It hurts me.
I will no longer feel your eyes on me.
Forever.
It hurts me.
Knowing that I won't get to touch you.
Forever.
It hurts me.
Your voice lingers in my head.
Forever.
It hurts me.
I want to be yours.
Forever.
It hurts me.
You're all I need beside me tonight.
It hurts me.

*Forever.
Simple nothings. I just felt the need to put my simplest and lamest thoughts in such a stupid writing like this. Maybe because I can't cry no more. Just trying to get by.

DieingEmbers
Clockwork child with neon eyes
you've seen so many things
the death of man and fallen skies
and winter born of spring

Your clockwork mind predicted all
but man was far too dumb
to heed your words upon the wall
and so you just kept sthum

Your clockwork heart broke like a Child
as nature payed the price
and now the dead are neatly piled
beneath a world of ice
Maybe it won't be computer error that ends it all

Good Things
 May 2013 Tessa F

Every good thing shall happen...

like Friday nights and party rush
surprise calls from a long-time crush
auburn leaves and a cup of tea
cozy couch and a good movie
a sweet embrace, granted wishes
locked up hands, friendly kisses
perfect music, fireworks galore
passionate poetry, books in store
skinny-dipping, pineapple juice
mountaineering, romantic cruise
stick-it notes and scented letters
white rose petals and silver glitters
dusty slip-on and faded pantaloons
sweetened berries and tasty prunes
smooth raps and slow rock hits
magnetic charm and awesome wits
11:11 verses and chicken bones
starry night skies, pebbles and stones
a perfect score, crispy pizza crust
locks and highlights, passionate lust
skirts and pumps, pictures of us
Halloween treats and wedding fuss
hot cappuccino, jam and jelly
first paycheck, winning the lottery
chocolate mousse, ice cold drinks
ocean waves, seductive winks
silk and laces, laughs after cries
cool car drifting and belly butterflies
left hand scribbles, messy hair buns
Oakley goggles and water guns
funny jokes, late night talks
rainy days, twilight walks
flickering lights, vintage cars
logs in swamps and monkey bars
a hopeful daybreak, latte aroma
fogged up glasses, squeaky veranda
carnation in bloom, warm summer breeze
slow love-making, trimmed cypress trees
naughty kiddie play, blindfolds and tricks
mistletoe and acorns, fresh and fancy kicks
baked salmons and grilled corn
ending fights and a newborn
free-verse poetry, an orchestral song
a stranger's smile, a dancing throng
finishing a novel, Luna's glow
binding friendships, December snow

but the best thing for me, I'd like you to know
is to tell you finally that I Love You So.

What did I tell myself?
What did I make myself believe?
I guess it's nothing but a lie
I guess it's just the reason that I die.

Where did this lead me to?
Why do reasons just come and go?
I never opened a door for fright
I might just hurt the one who tries.

Was it a nice beginning I tend to cut?
Well, now a bitter ending never meant to last
Indeed, a lesson I refuse to learn
I built my walls out of a raging storm.

Rundown

Sometimes,
when I think of all the happy times in my life
I never fail to go back to the days when I was with you
When I felt really sure of how the days would go by
As I have you here
As I see you near
As we come close to what's good and real
At least, just the way it seemed.
But now I know it's over
You're never coming back anymore
As you always would back then
When I'd slip away
Tell you "I'm okay"
And try not to look back
As you try to whisper "I'm here to stay."
But things, I know, have changed
And I know how it all became strange
I let you go
Feeling all that we both know
It has turned both our lives
To something we never realized
Because I did walk away
From what could really make me okay
Now I can't get back on track
'Cause I know, I know
You're never coming back.

Embrocation
 May 2013 Tessa F

The harbinger lingers in the hollow forest
Where there once lingered sweet dalliance
Under an umbrella of verdant emotions
Now, withers into a dark, vacuous wood
