Martha was ugly, like a shaven baboon. So she wrapped herself up in a curtain cocoon. One week later, she finally emerged--- She smelled like **** What a ******

~ *O Painter with thy own eye                         would thee paint me in mine own natural hue prithee paint me as i am, imperfections             and blemishes true Load thy brush                       with colors sundry to maketh yond first pure sweep across the ****** frieze, fill'd with pangs of hunger. paint me as i standeth                   bethought, in deep With mine own love and mine own desire, blurring the edges unclean with mine own regrets                   and mine own mental gyre, in mine own natural age,                of deep forest green O Painter Paint me sinister turquoise, in lavender and maroon, combine the amethyst and amber blend the iceberg        and the indigo moon. Paint me as i standeth,        prithee see with thy eye a mistress in yond lady plight Prithee paint me all i am i cullionly a mistress in all yond lady might Paint me in the optimistic                              silv'r of dawn, but don’t miss the purple to shade the bruise                               of the bygone. paint me in the sky blue journal O Painter Paint me as a unique template smudge black white and grizzled merging all the colors of thy palette. col'r me a rainbow                             in a rainy drizzle Paint me tall so yond i standeth loftier than any mountain Paint me as a dram bird, delicate with soft feathers silken Paint me harmony, as a violin so yond i can sing thy solitary tune paint me as thy poetry          with song and melody wrapp'd in a cocoon O Painter paint me as a dream yond rises                                in did saturate colors with a steady upbeat flight awry tint, a fluttering              of a quite quaint butterfly Portray me with endurance imbue so bold and bright doth not hesitate                 to depict mine own mind in profound fuchsia and white. Useth the colors yond thee would borrow Thy palette not yet exsufflicate Paint mine own loss and mine own sorrow in search of a shade so ****** Adorn mine own heart in glowing garnet at which hour thee paint mine own love add a true broken blue shade of the cloud and the rain above; Study mine own dry sorrow                               in mine own soul useth any shade thee plaited soften the edges of control in a tinge of xanthene. O Painter Prithee paint me Mine own passion and mine own spirit shall has't a crimson r'd hint mine own remorse and mine own regret shall reflect an ink stain print Paint me in mine own eye so true O Painter but add a dash of courage too* ~

*As our dew points match, lead me out into the open moonlight Then take my hand and come with me to share this glorious night Sin smiling Angels look down on us in the night's cocoon Safely sheltered beneath his broad shoulders our bodies completely attune Her pale skin denied The moonbeams as I eclipses them above her Shivering to the cadence of the night with the moonlight as a ****** The cool night air hasn't chilled her warm summer lips The stars reflected in our eyes, each shimmering thoughts a kiss Ethereal night mist rises from our slowly moving bodies His warmth tastes of golden light, dancing to simple melodies Shimmering in dusk's glow the rapture subsides in a glistening shudder Splendorous waves of euphoric flood, as we complete each other as lovers*

Under an Angel's Sinful Smile (Collabration with Palmer)
I was a caterpillar , before I became a butterfly . The pain I had to endure in order to transform into the beauty I am today . This is my tale . In the forest there was, My cocoon wrapped in the finest silk, With a power to live in a colorful world. To dream and conquer goals. A Vivacious soul spinning in the purest silk Growing and maturing as I spun. Wishing for freedom with my beautiful wings, Counting the days to be free and soar as a lively butterfly until You winded into my community Lured my queen and her uneven monarch. Tempted to sabotage my purity. For that you, Lured yourself into my vulernable cocoon with that trust, you decided to disrupt my process. How can one man ruin my nesting site? And I had faith in you , to be a figure I never had. I wanted. My heart ached for it. I needed it. To be loved . To be nurtured. To never be like those stray dogs looking for a home. This was the moment . Where.... Innocence stripped, heart captured. My Freedom gone. You were naive to comprehend On what you were doing... You would stab my cocoon with your sickening poison . Over and over you stabbed . Ruptured the veins of my innocence . To break my finest silk . Purity banished. Stabbing your poison was Making my cocoon useless , worthless , unwanted, colorless, I tried to run and I tried to scream but I was devoured by this poison It was the love I deserve. Couldn't escape , numb to the pain For every poison injected, I began to Question God? Where was he ? when I shed out a tear of help. Where was he? when my cocoon was destroyed. Was I loved God? when I muffled help in your name. I hated myself , I stay in my cocoon afraid to see my future. I wasn't going to be a beautiful butterfly Battered Butterfly My life seemed to be colorless No one wants a battered butterfly My life.... It seemed it had ended when poison sunk onto my helpless body . No one wants a battered butterfly Imprisoned to these chains. Being poisoned every night by different Predators. Oh God.... Those predators ... Battered lifeless little butterfly Was I ever loved in my nesting site? But then again nobody loves a battered butterfly How can I reach to heaven when I was worthless. Believed I was a vile ***** Tricked into a poison of hell. Battered Ugly Butterfly ***** Little butterfly*. There was no light in tunnel There was no holes in my silk To escape this poisonous nest. Why? Because I believe nobody wants save a battered butterfly How can the man I trusted ruined me. I thought you could be the one to complete my lovely monarch . To complete the missing piece. But you continued to misuse me. To haunt me. To barricade my heart To own my soul But one thing I can truly say You never once won over me. You never imprinted my change. I endured your pain That was a sign of God To show me what strength I am capable of. That was the light that I found, You had no control to inflict pain anymore. Because I became impervious to your pain. I am a beautiful butterfly reigning over my monarch with no thought of you. That is my freedom

I dealt death today. I know it’s a part of the job. I know I’ve seen it too many times to count. But today, I felt it. I left the room long after their family did. There was no where I could go To escape their Roaring grief. They were long gone. And I was left with their precious baby. I curled his arms and legs up Closed his eyes Wrapped him up gently. With love and respect Here he’ll sleep forever. And oh, They are so thankful, That it was me That I understood That I was so careful That I spent the time with them. And you’re not supposed to take it with you. You’re supposed to leave it When they walk out the door With one less goodbye. But I took it with me today. The way they felt before The way they felt after The long quiet goodbyes The man in a suit on his knees weeping The mother and son making a cocoon Sheltering their dying baby. The solemn face of the woman who plays god. The green death. The last breath. The heaving of the living as he gave his last. The waiting. Slower rhythm. Quieter. ‘He’s gone now’. I watched the clock The same way I had An hour before Waiting for death. Soon as I could I fled out the door Ran into the street Tried to outrun it Instead I ran to you I dialled your number With shaking hands I know I’m not supposed to But all I wanted was you Your voice Ringing out Thankfully I wept alone. Today I dealt death And I found I am not strong enough To sustain this Alone Or for long. I found I still consider you my haven Deep down But that you are not my haven anymore Or should be. I listened to the silence After the call rang out And decided

I. And my hair became too much It overtook the walls made its way into the office on the sixth floor and then hung like a dripping willow’s branches over the desks By the time they thought to find me I’d already been wrapped up in a cocoon of brown hair   indistinguishable from the walls that was now also covered in the thick strands of undulated hair II. everything and everyone became consumed. III. In hairy chrysalis, the scissors uselessly hung on some poor frantic pair of hands forced into pupa IV. It was on the third day that the streets surrounding the corporate buildings were once again populated with people, that a young woman in heels swore she heard a faint choral singing coming from the 5th or 6th floor of a dreary grey building. V. everything cocooned everyone consumed all in pupa VI. During metamorphosis, a caterpillar digests itself leaving only behind imaginal discs that shape it’s adult body.   everything becomes consumed.

Everything becomes Consumed (Hairy Pupa)
I’m buried in a cocoon of stories From poetry, To biographies, To dystopia, And romance So many stories Of so many people Real, Or just figments of the author’s Imagination Sitting atop wooden bookshelves Waiting for the right person, To pick them up And get lost in their story For everyone has a story to tell, Some are overly exaggerated, And other’s are rarely heard The important thing is That we share our stories Through word of mouth, The internet, Or in a notebook To be found by future historians Tell your story Believe me, you won’t regret it

I'm so alone now in this shelter as a cocoon Empty and unholy Insecure and maybe moody I'm so unafraid now I've turned my guilt into a blaze As I rage against the enemies I create Its the path of freedom in this miserable escape towards happiness I wasn't particular about the things that I expected from you Just obvious with the what and when and where and how but never with the why I knew the secret rules of boundaries and respect Silence is a way to watch it all or twist it all, or hide it all Silence was the one time you fell apart when all the other times you weren't too far from Hercules I am angry with you, patient with you I can't lose sleep over it I'll just cry in terror You can just sit there careless I guess its times like these when you realize the things you want And the things you don't I'm unhappy At this  very instant But even most days I can muscle up the energy I can focus on whats right and whats now and what can be You can sit there drown in your solitude because if you can't let it out and you won't let me in Eventually the guilt from your kisses will be swallowed in acid And the reaction of which will eat you alive

Eating You Alive
You're my stillborn butterfly afraid of your new beauty with limp wings, pried from the safety of your cocoon by my old hands in a forest where everything is charred. Only the skeletal trees once lush with life and birdsong can admire your strange elegance as you lay listless on their roots that thirst for a storm of passing love and thunder. I want to carry you away to my field of wildflowers and resurrect you with the unmasked glow of the shy moon, who only shows its face in this meadow of lies. I'll watch the breeze wake you on my fingertips then let you fly away, carelessly into a world of color I'll never compare to.

My Field of Wildflowers
there is nothing between my *******               only skin that's the way it will stay until the day when i become attached                  then, I will keep my problems there. I will keep hatred and the harsh words between my plump fleshy hills I will keep them there until you strip me down and wipe them away with your rough fingertips and lift my body and soul up to a better place, more accessible to you.                 the bra is burned                 my body is alive                 my body is ash                 now. so wipe them away               wipe away my burdens and connect us now          crawl inside my cocoon        and turn me into a butterfly

1 The other day I saw a picture of you. Shirt buttoned up to your throat, Pants cutting off the blood circulation in your pelvis, Shoes shining brighter than the north star, And a smile being pulled across your cheeks Like an archer pulling a bow string. I smiled back at my computer screen. 2 I’ve listened to this album at least 30 times. I own three versions of it. UK deluxe, US deluxe, Target Deluxe. Everything about you is deluxe. Your eyes, your voice, your breath As it passes through the microphone and into my ears. 3 I believe in fate But not so much in destiny. I don’t scream at my reflection anymore And I’m described as independent. For the most part. I’m a pretty trustworthy person And I promise I’m not that desperate. 4 The music ripples through my veins As I whip my curls at the mirror. The hairbrush pressed against my mouth And I repeat the lyrics that roll past your lips so smoothly. 5 I can almost feel your arms Wrap around my waist before I go to sleep. I had a dream You and I were together And you were happy And I was happy And everyone was happy. But I know if my dream became reality No one would be happy. Jealousy would taint the spit on other girls’ tongues And the distance between New Jersey and Australia is too much. Even for me. 5 I can almost feel your arms Wrap around my waist before I got to sleep. 5 I can almost feel you. 5 We have the same eye color. 6 We have the same hair color. 7 I am just an insecure girl. You are taking over the world. You are stepping in the soil of every state. And you won’t look at me Longer for three seconds in the New York City heat. 8 I never thought I would be one of those girls. One of those girls Who latch onto a boy’s identity, Not knowing his soul But knowing his spirit. I’ve seen you three times. You don’t even realize. I try too hard and I’m convinced you notice this. 9 You are nine months older than me. In your eyes I am just a baby. My cocoon of pictures of you is the womb I am being baked in. You won’t follow me back on twitter. 10 You are just my celebrity crush But you have such an impact on me. Go back home. Let me rest. Go back to bed. I’ll have that dream again And I won’t speak of it And no one has to know of this Pathetic excuse for love I carry in me like a dead fetus. 10 You are just my celebrity crush. It was never supposed to go this far. 10 You are just my celebrity crush. 10 You can never love me The same way I love you.

Stone cold boredom Is a cocoon that you desperately want to be set free from. Stone cold boredom Gets in the way too much. Stone cold boredom Finds way too many ways to include itself Stone cold boredom Gets rougher and rougher by the minute How do we expect to get rid of it?

Stone Cold Boredom
1099 My Cocoon tightens—Colors tease— I’m feeling for the Air— A dim capacity for Wings Demeans the Dress I wear— A power of Butterfly must be— The Aptitude to fly Meadows of Majesty implies And easy Sweeps of Sky— So I must baffle at the Hint And cipher at the Sign And make much blunder, if at least I take the clue divine—

My Cocoon tightens—Colors tease—
First she ate too much, Then not enough. She closed herself off from the world. Wrapped herself in a cocoon of doubt. She was an odd little caterpillar, That gave up on ever becoming a butterfly.

Moth
Arriving at the entrance of the ancient temple the white rabbit covered his ears. Shattering glass from a high-pitched vibration he leaped away from a falling chandelier. “I must find our beloved Harvest Moon." The white rabbit said to himself. With stern affirmation, a dark fog churned then into the vortex he was consumed. He stopped at the entrance of the temple courtyard; everyone was frozen like statues. "What has she done to all of you?" He cried, then pulled out a magic rune deflecting a hail of daggers. The white rabbit looked up at a floating cocoon and saw the shadow witch hovering over the temple roof. Pale skin and veins glowing red, she was draped in a black tattered robe. With a sinister look and a Crown of Fire on her head the shadow witch spoke. “White rabbit, white rabbit the Harvest Moon is dead!" The white rabbit took leaped back then cried out. "This cannot be so!" Then he pulled from his bag a magic scroll and read the words written in gold. "I ask the wind to protect me from this dark magic despair" Then he conjured a circle of trees in a water globe. The witch streaked across the air and swung around her jet-black hair. Then she commanded an infestation of spiders to climb inside the trees and explode. Barricading himself inside a magic bubble he was protected from the onslaught of shrapnel. The white rabbit grabbed the water globe, leaped into the air, and disappeared in a puff of amber smoke. The shadow witch pulled out a blood-red pearl and murmured an incantation. "Clever white rabbit, I shall find you in the invisible world" The white rabbit snapped his fingers then magically appeared behind her. He snatched off the Crown of Fire from her head then whispered the following words. "How dare you use dark magic on me!" She jumped in fear spinning around, then summoned a devil hound. The white rabbit raised the water globe and merged it with the crown. A shock wave of light pulsated in the air then the witch menacingly yelled. “Take him down!” The white rabbit saw in his peripheral view the hound lunge to attack. But he was too cunning for this, with a symbolic wave and a vigorous slash the hound was severed in two. The shadow witch glared, then cried out. “We shall meet again white rabbit; I promise you I'll be back!” Then she summoned a fiery cauldron and vanished with a blinding flash. The white rabbit ran inside the temple and approached the Harvest Moon. He stared with eyes full of tears and sorrow at a beautiful princess with hair long and blue. A beautiful creature he so desired, the love he had for her was true. He opened his bag and pulled out the globe which was now encased with the Crown of Fire. "I brought you a gift from the shadow witch" Then he smashed the globe and with a flash of light, the Crown of Fire was finally free. The white rabbit held the princess and spoke. "I have always served you because I love you and now, I command you to come back to life!" Then he placed the Crown of Fire on her head igniting a ring of light. The white rabbit looked down to see the Harvest Moon Princess opening both of her eyes.

The Crown of Fire
Arriving at the entrance of the ancient temple the white rabbit covered his ears. Shattering glass from a high-pitched vibration he leaped away from a falling chandelier. “I must find our beloved Harvest Moon." The white rabbit said to himself. With stern affirmation, a dark fog churned then into the vortex he was consumed. He stopped at the entrance of the temple courtyard; everyone was frozen like statues. "What has she done to all of you?" He cried, then pulled out a magic rune deflecting a hail of daggers. The white rabbit looked up at a floating cocoon and saw the shadow witch hovering over the temple roof. Pale skin and veins glowing red, she was draped in a black tattered robe. With a sinister look and a Crown of Fire on her head the shadow witch spoke. “White rabbit, white rabbit the Harvest Moon is dead!" The white rabbit took leaped back then cried out. "This cannot be so!" Then he pulled from his bag a magic scroll and read the words written in gold. "I ask the wind to protect me from this dark magic despair" Then he conjured a circle of trees in a water globe. The witch streaked across the air and swung around her jet-black hair. Then she commanded an infestation of spiders to climb inside the trees and explode. Barricading himself inside a magic bubble he was protected from the onslaught of shrapnel. The white rabbit grabbed the water globe, leaped into the air, and disappeared in a puff of amber smoke. The shadow witch pulled out a blood-red pearl and murmured an incantation. "Clever white rabbit, I shall find you in the invisible world" The white rabbit snapped his fingers then magically appeared behind her. He snatched off the Crown of Fire from her head then whispered the following words. "How dare you use dark magic on me!" She jumped in fear spinning around, then summoned a devil hound. The white rabbit raised the water globe and merged it with the crown. A shock wave of light pulsated in the air then the witch menacingly yelled. “Take him down!” The white rabbit saw in his peripheral view the hound lunge to attack. But he was too cunning for this, with a symbolic wave and a vigorous slash the hound was severed in two. The shadow witch glared, then cried out. “We shall meet again white rabbit; I promise you I'll be back!” Then she summoned a fiery cauldron and vanished with a blinding flash.

Why do you love the one you do? Arrogant as he lives Intriguing minds have not a clue. He cheats, he lies and receives your endless forgives Security he cannot propose Financially, spiritually, emotional or otherwise. Love unfaithfully he bestows Disguised as Christian he justifies. Smothered in the cocoon of his limited sphere, Hinders flight for the beautiful butterfly, Egotistically the coward oozes insincere. Sadly pondering, inquiring minds ask Why?

Why
Somewhere, amongst the debris of cigarettes after *** chemicals to induce sleep, I forgot what it means to love. I forgot what it means to breathe, to sit still, and just be. Somewhere, beneath these hooded seams of solitude and well-versed grief, beats a heart less cynical, less tamed by vague distraction. My nervous ticks and bad habits, line of best fit for a near-hit of satisfaction: This is not enough, I know. This is not nearly enough to cool the bray of life that still rattles meaning in my bones. I forgot what it means to love, what separates a house from a home. Somewhere beyond this thirst for brand-new words is a gratitude for all that has been. Every cliché holds a truth. Every sentiment, a cocoon, that I should lie so still inside until I am wholesome, until I am new.

Cocoon
It's that hour again, guilt sets in because I am awake. Insomnia seems to be my only ally lately, comforting me with her consistency like an old lover. I feel safe here in my lonely cocoon, here in my head here in my heart, again. This unexpected world is of my own making, that's a hard pill to swallow. Spent from wrestling demons and waiting for a silver lining, endless hope dying. If someone knows the code or can cut my cord, would you please indulge me kindly?

Insomnia
My love, I saw you in the smile of the cheeky Sun, When we met in the park. I saw you in the glow of the charismatic moon, When you asked me out. I  saw you in the twinkle of the dazzling stars, When you kissed me with passion. I saw you in the lyrics of our favourite song when we had our first dance. I saw you  in the cocoon of a caterpillar, When you slept soundly beside me. I saw you in the huge waves of the ocean, When we made ecstatic  love, I saw you in the flutter of the butterfly wings, When you were agitated and worried. I saw you in the ferocious roar of the lion when you ranted in anger. I saw you in the tub of my favourite icecream, Which you did not share. I saw you in the halo of an angel, When you showed love and kindness to grandmother. I saw you in the sweet song of the lark when you mingled happily with  my family. I saw you as a complete packet, Someone I could spend my life with. I saw you in a four hearts diamond ring, When you proposed. Last I saw you in the marriage vows, Which you and I took. For better or worse.

From Park To Altar
While the flames of passion freeze in your mind, I’ll be wrapped behind you, cloaked in the sins of the flesh. Jaded whispers of lustful promises filled with deceitful gazes, I offer you not sanity, but madness. Always beside you but never there, my presence is the churning chaos of scars long lost forgotten. I play upon your innocence, crushing it in my grasp, I feed your existence the fermented embryo of society. Your screams are in vain; I am you: a cocoon manifested from your decayed tears. A memory surfaces to a mirrored abyss, reaching but never grasping. Allow the jagged ice to crawl across your skin, inching, creeping, crystalizing a self you once believed in. I claw at your chest, burning, burning, burning, the existence of your past is frail. I feed upon your weakness. Feeding you ****** Sins off Diverged Tongues*

****** Sins off Diverged Tongues
It's Monday. Most people hate Mondays. Back to school, back to work, back to losing sleep. I don't particularly enjoy them either, but today is different. Today, I feel like this is the start of a new week. Last week was tough and all, but its all over now... Monday. We all want to curl back up under the covers in a cocoon of blankets. But Monday. All of last week's hardships are through. Gone. Over. Today is Monday, November 12th, 2012. There will never be another. Ever Monday. It's only a bad day if you make it one.

Monday
Let me love you in Silence, I want to watch you, observe all your pores and spots where fine wrinkles have settled. I want to see you dance daintily like a flower or grunt and hoof your way through space like a grubby animal. Either exalted or halted, I want to hold you, to cup your soft surrendered hands just like a clam shell, and to cocoon your weary beating body. Let me love you in silence, from afar like a deer hiding in the forest, peeking out at the mysteries of the world. I want to love you deeply like the ocean loves the land as she kisses its gentle shores and runs away all too soon, called by the moon. I lay on the dusted hardwood of our home, your washing the dishes and the fragrant smell of soap fills the air, I lay underneath the door frame tracing my eyes up and down your sweet body, your strong back hunched over. Hard working arms cleaning, oh the little love secrets I keep to myself. I want to run through meadows picking the most vibrant wildflowers so I may lay them at your feet, gently quietly. This yearning in my soul words do not know this love, these intangible feelings exuding. I want to bathe you in a claw foot tub and in the silence watch your eyes grow wide, I want to see the wonderment of a whole galaxy of stars glimmering inside you before noise ushers such things away before noise pulls me from this fantasy. This dream that we are living, it exists, I know it does. You can live it too, please please, just close your eyes and let love linger for a moment feel loves sweet breathe as she breathes in silence, as she breathes inside of you and inside of me.
