The mountains know my pain
The trees shed their leaves-
Red and orange
Falling as blood

He waited for her in the evenings blinding black-
She scrambled inside of white sheets trying to find a path that'll define feeling

She was left with nothing but blood on her skin
And an edges impression on her heart  

Alive-
In every sense of wrong

(C) Tiffanie Noel Doro

The reality is that reality doesn't exist. Reality is a formulation of preconditioned programming which exists only to create barriers between the ones viewed as sane and the ones viewed as insane.

Either way the coin falls, you'll be viewed as strange for having the courage to even toss it at all.

such intent
Savor it
Savor what has been unseen-
Every cloak-and-dagger

Hide behind the undertow so your spying eyes go unearthed  
Laying low close to those who will never know-
Never sense
The taste
of marrow-
of raw ignition inside bones
Or the adrenaline that's expanding your pupils-
Black, hardy vacancies and adaption to space

A neck to grasp
Lips to bite into
Warmth to be felt internally
Far more than physical

Closer to irrational spirituality

(C) Tiffanie Doro

Don't ask to be saved. You can only save you. Instead, ask for support. Ask for someone who will stand by you and stand up, not just for you, but with you. Someone who knows how great and rare you are and, on the other hand, someone who sees your faults and rather help you improve them than just ignore them even when the truth isn't always pleasant. Someone who, regardless of those faults, will continue to love you all the same. Someone who you clash with in all the right ways and through the frustrations, still holds your bond close to their heart because at the end of the day, you'll going to struggle at times in life and love but giving up on your hearts desires in both of those categories should never be the answer. Eat your cake and have it too because you are worth it. Balance and a sense of being whole on ones own are major traits to be embraced.

Could you cascade into me?
Through the bass of my hearts notes?
Through the wilds of my mind?
Through the marrows of my soul and even to the depths of my toes?
Could you be sweet
with a tender touch-
Maybe even,
At times,
passionately lost and rough?
Perhaps-
But I say the questioning tone too doubtfully
Too predictably so-

I've know the intentions from the start

(C) Tiffanie Doro

Life is always hanging in the balance and I am always balancing the contemplation of what my own two hands can do with this life's hour glass.

(C) Tiffanie Noel Doro

I would rather watch the sunset than the sunrise
You are so contrite in your words
So remorseful for the punishment inflicted
For I am not at fault for the pasts indecencies  or the nasty bearing of actions on your heart

But you-
You are to fault for the weight left cracking my bones-
The same damnations that haunt your decisions
Are left haunting in a shell of me

High hope-
Drowned by those I've never even known

(C) Tiffanie Noel Doro

The correlations between our journeys-
The interagency
Our folie à deux

I will take the expressions from off of your tongue
Flick a story to commemorate the day we sat upon the sun-
And the ending of such

Naked and restless
Burning our words-
Our translucent context of hearts
With nails dug in so to insure nothing would go unveiled
No passion left behind
No flame left untouched

All of the nooses in the world could not erase what's been had nor the stars lighting my eyes diminish the presents glare.  

And the pit of this cigarette couldn't give a ****.

Learn to swim or else you'll be swallowed by the ocean.

Pinching a principle
with disease ridden veins
but beneath the exterior there is a human
beside the absent minded-
she believes she is still living
somewhere

somewhere inside the tangles
Of what her exterior mind veils

If your words are hollow; don't speak them.
If your will is solemn; correct your thoughts.
If the world is vacant of color; seek truth and wisdom.

The world around you changes when you dive into the depths of yourself. It's only then that you realize what you believe has been lacking was simply suppressed by your own thoughts the entire time. You must use your observations and wisdom when outside forces create barriers in your life.

Look inside and the world will become a brand new, wondrous place.

Love is not blind. We are merely blind compensating with our senses.

(C) Tiffanie Noel Doro

Life is a vindictive game
And it’s been cheating us-
Before we ever took our first breathes

Taking in the knowledge of what holds you down is not meant to be perceived as what is simply wrong with you. The point is correcting what hinders you. To that you have to face the wrong. It's realizing that will help us find the light. We can not deny the issues and hope one morning we will wake to clarity. You must face these things with strength, in return, receiving more strength once you reach the end of your journey.

(C) Tiffanie Noel Doro

It always seems to come back down to this edge

To this constricting questioning-
of living
It's ticking in her head-
The most magnificent orchestra she has ever felt in her chest
Slowly muffling the warmth as it continues to run wild-
Pushing out of her limbs
as her throat is falling-

Falling faster into slumber

I should go to bed but going to bed means waking to another day. At least in the dark, underneath the stars with a cigarette in hand, I can hide the pain from my mother and pretend as if her cancer doesn't exist.

When you come to the realization that there is not a single **** person that you know which you can turn to and express the depths of your emotions with the decisions become incredibly clear.
