The sun is coming up so big and bright and bold that it feels like I could just reach out and grab it and put it in my pocket for later. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need it later. I think he took his sun away for good. I tried to keep his sun shining. I tried so hard to keep it lit. But no matter how hard I stoked the fire, he kept me in the dark. Somehow, I got so busy sustaining his solar energy that I didn't notice my own sun going out. His appeared so bright that I forgot I needed the warmth of my own. I don't know how long it will take my sun to heat up again. Now it's as if I'm stumbling around a dark house during a power outage, searching for the emergency flashlight and hoping the batteries aren't as dead as we are. I think he used it last, and he never puts things back the way he found them. Good thing I grabbed the sun this morning and put it in my pocket for later.

Heartbreak at Sunrise
I always suspected electricity Ran rampant through my veins To make me dazed and dizzy But unable to sit still It made me prone to flights of fancy So I left giddy trails of sparks Blazing proof of my restlessness That once brightly caught your eye Once your gaze had found my own My moods came in swooning flares And you crackled alongside me Filling my aching, empty silence With shiny, blessed noise We burned so beautifully With my electric fire And your trilling declamations Light and sound intertwining Like thunder that had finally caught up with its lightning It seemed like Nature's order A completion of the whole Two halves that followed each other Unthinkingly and automatically So one day when I found silence It felt like Earth itself was splitting Panicked, I burned more brightly Stoked the fire just in case I feared that I had dimmed And been the cause of this new quietness So when I still heard nothing I thought my efforts insufficient And I ran my highest currents Until my wires nearly melted Thinking the sun and I were comparable And anticipating a response And still I heard no trilling No crackling at my side So I wondered if perhaps I had shined beyond your limits Swiftly, I contracted Reined in my flares and doused the fire Thinking sudden darkness Might just shock you into sound I finally heard the faintest popping Not quite the rending that I wanted But a break from quiet all the same Afraid of spoiling the moment I leashed my electricity Kept myself dim so I could hear you Though I felt the writhing beneath my skin It finally became unbearable So I flashed like wild lightning Lashed out and struck the ground Hoping for your thunder A dark and roiling storm Swirling raindrops and clouds colliding And deep, ugly noise All I wanted was your thunder But in the end It was only me yelling Screaming out for downpours Alone Listening to my own echoes Waiting for you to harmonize In the end I was always waiting Wondering when you'd chosen silence Wondering why I'd let you dim me Wondering how it was we'd ever burned

Screaming Out For Downpours
I always suspected electricity Ran rampant through my veins To make me dazed and dizzy But unable to sit still It made me prone to flights of fancy So I left giddy trails of sparks Blazing proof of my restlessness That once brightly caught your eye Once your gaze had found my own My moods came in swooning flares And you crackled alongside me Filling my aching, empty silence With shiny, blessed noise We burned so beautifully With my electric fire And your trilling declamations Light and sound intertwining Like thunder that had finally caught up with its lightning It seemed like Nature's order A completion of the whole Two halves that followed each other Unthinkingly and automatically So one day when I found silence It felt like Earth itself was splitting Panicked, I burned more brightly Stoked the fire just in case I feared that I had dimmed And been the cause of this new quietness So when I still heard nothing I thought my efforts insufficient And I ran my highest currents Until my wires nearly melted Thinking the sun and I were comparable And anticipating a response And still I heard no trilling No crackling at my side So I wondered if perhaps I had shined beyond your limits Swiftly, I contracted Reined in my flares and doused the fire Thinking sudden darkness Might just shock you into sound I finally heard the faintest popping Not quite the rending that I wanted But a break from quiet all the same Afraid of spoiling the moment I leashed my electricity Kept myself dim so I could hear you Though I felt the writhing beneath my skin It finally became unbearable So I flashed like wild lightning Lashed out and struck the ground Hoping for your thunder A dark and roiling storm Swirling raindrops and clouds colliding And deep, ugly noise All I wanted was your thunder But in the end It was only me yelling Screaming out for downpours Alone Listening to my own echoes Waiting for you to harmonize In the end I was always waiting Wondering when you'd chosen silence Wondering why I'd let you dim me Wondering how it was we'd ever burned

Muted, muffled, dull thud on concrete, Staggered, drunken, half conscious nobody, Starved, seeking, worried about payments, **** in hand, knocking on the wrong doors, Fire and brimstone stoked in the belly, Mad, strange, appetizing burlesque eyes, Obnoxious smacking and licking of parched lips, Rolling on half rationed legs, Quiet, sullen, mournful footsteps, Presently placed awkwardly one in front of the other, Memory serves correctly, destitute, reprise, Thunderclaps and crashing roars, Almost forgotten, with great relief, Soon, very soon, to be lost forever, Candlelight, sobbing vigils, no power, Nail, Nail, Nail, Praise in the box, graffiti walled, Like a bathroom stall, just as ****** Docile dissolving vessels, Brought to the commonplace dropoff, Settled down and greatly relieved.

Music Look up: "Superman" by Five For Fighting. Kermit sings music by a Muppet Band called Frog's For Fighting...! "It's Not Easy To Be Green, I Can't Stand When High" I can't stand when high, I'm not that naive... I'm just out to find the better part of green, I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a bear, I'm more than some-frog in piggy's underwear, And it's not easy-to be-e-green... Wish that I was high, ****** and half asleep, Find a way to lie-about my *** on Sesame Street, It may sound absurd, but don't be naive, Even Muppets have the right to **** I may be disturbed, but won't you concede, Even Muppets croak upon Skunk-green, And it's not easy-to be-e-green... Once again-I'm small-I'm small and GREEN, well it's Alright! We can all get "stoked" tonight, and I'm not Blazing...or anything. I can't stand when high...I'm not that naive, ****** I trip at night, on brownies buzzed on **** I'm only a frog on Jim Hensen's knee, Wearing pink lingerie on this one way street, I'm only a frog on Jim Hensen's knee-looking for Older guys who flirt with me WHO FLIRT WITH ME... who flirt with me...yea, who Flirt with me...who FLIRT WITH ME... I'm only a frog that's diggin' the green, I'm only a  frog on kronic seven leaves, I'm only a frog that's puffin' on green, and it's not easy... WOOOHOOOHOOOO...it's not easy to be-e Greeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnn...

Feathers strapped on the outs of seem, of pink and purple, of color yet. Seen around this violent weather, drinks that hurdle, are hard to get. Together when soaked with prime no better, stoked to find and kiss the daughter. In law, out law, outlaws fed her, he rather play a love bird tune. Out the noise, when in the slaughter, eyes of boys are caught in June. Tenth in line to raise the baby; dropped the world and dropped the toys.

Follow Suit
Insult not a memory. So blessed with kindness. Touched with honey. Stoked with decency. Painted from soft brush. Gentle sable. Lower the sabre. The powerful sword. With hilt of guilt. Let it be. Not aggressive being. Distressed. Depressed. Acrid tears. Acid tongue. Lemon lips. Evil sharp, So bitter. Discarded amid leaf litter. The autumn leaves they fell. Deep within the mist. Memories withheld. Can’t you tell? By ladylivvi1 © 2013 ladylivvi1 (All rights reserved)

Protection!
Dishes clang loud against the sink Metal spoons bang white ceramic     Anger defies lifelong contract Sacred and sealed with tears and tact    Adhesive is this stone of hurt Lumped solidly within her throat     No easy atonement comes forth Nor minor distraction does soothe       Her rant gathers no audience No recall of what stoked this fire

Stalwart embers forever light my heart; stoked by whispers of fate and grandeur, a flame reignites: so minute and fragile, it still holds great warmth; and forever shall I hold it close Beseeched, I move toward distant hope that one day, my flame; my dear, we could together burn brighter than the sun

Warmth
I have longed to be like Jesus since the day I was reborn With a heart formed by the Father, by His hands so strong and warm For although my soul was perfect, this old heart had far to go It was lofty and self serving; never broken, hard as stone But the only way to change my heart was not to mold like clay He must carve it with a chisel that would break the stone away So pain became my teacher and its lessons I learned well As every trial would test me with each wounding swing that fell One day I asked my Father as He formed His shapeless art "Where did You find that chisel, Lord, that breaks so hard my heart?" He took me to a village, somewhere, long before my time And showed me where a blacksmith, there, was working near his mine The local king had ordered that some special spikes be made To perform a certain service later on that ancient day The smith stoked up his furnace till it singed his heavy beard And the strikes that made his hammer ring were heard by every ear Then he spun the massive whetstone, pressed each spike against its edge And the sparks shot out like lightening as he sharpened up the ends The spikes, still warm from grinding, then were gathered in a cloth And delivered to the mountain with the prisoner and the cross Instantly I understood just what he made them for The chisels used to shape my heart first crucified my Lord Now every stroke that life will bring I'll welcome like a prize For every chip that falls away will make me more like Christ

Monk Muzik (Monk at Minton's)
Under a large, round, yellow Full November moon The chill of the cold, dark night Slips in through my window It fights against the heating To send a shuddering shiver down my spine Under the full November moon People spill out of noisy pubs Leaving heat, light, music A false, inebriated happiness To stagger, swirling home To warm beds of love Or cold, empty houses And late night T.V. Under the full November moon Teenager's breath leaves clouds in the air Hanging heavy and mingling with smoke From spliffs secretly held in cupped hands Hanging around shops, parks Even the disappearing phone boxes Feeling the arrogance of youth Course through their veins Under the full November moon The middle aged sit In armchairs with tea mugs T.V. droning as they dream of their youth When they were slim and **** Or hungry and virile Before it all slipped so quickly away Under the full November moon Swingers swap flesh and fluids In hotels and motels With no more passion or emotion Than passing the salt Under the full November moon Prostitutes haul their tired, aching bodies From car to car for the price of a hit The dealers swagger, stoked full of ******* With the power and arrogance of mediaeval lords Under the full November moon People sweat in police cells Under grey, itchy blankets On blue rubber mattresses In a white - tiled nightmare Under the full November moon I think of them all As I sir writing ideas In a cheap, lined pad Then turn off the lights As the full November moon Bids goodnight To us all

I don't like being called "good girl" anymore. Not because I don't like the way you say it, or why you're saying it. No. I don't like being called "good girl" because of a man. I met him at a party, my friend ditched me. I was watching everyone around me relax and have fun, but I was so tense. He must have picked up on my weakness, like a predator to prey. He handed me a drink and kept me company, he said I looked nervous. He told me to relax and to take a hit off his joint. I didn't want to be there anymore, but I tried to take his advice. We sat on the floor near the double doors and he told me I still looked nervous. He said I had no reason to be that he'd never let anything happen to me. I just laughed because he only just met me. Next thing I remember I wasn't feeling too good, my head was dizzy...no cloudy, and the floor was the ceiling. I remember his eyes on me, so hungry. I remember his hands on me, whereas mine were incapable of moving. He couldn't meet my eyes and I couldnt remember where we were or how we got there, but it wasn't by the double doors anymore. I remember noises, the dim lighting around us, I tried to focus on anything and everything else. I was screaming, but I don't actually know if the noise came out. I remember the hot tears that slid down my face as he slid over my body. I was a toy, I couldn't do anything, I was a puppet to his whim. He stoked my face occasionally and said I was a good girl, that I didn't need to be nervous, that I was a good girl, to just take it. I remember wailing, his hand covering my mouth, my lips bruising, my body throbbing. I haven't seen myself the same since, there wasn't anyone I felt safe with, not a hand that didn't feel like his. I get sick at the thought of him, at the thought of that act he forced me to commit. I didn't know his name but I knew his face because it haunts my dreams. I scare easy now, I want to hide but sleep can't even save me. I didn't want to be a good girl, I never wanted to be a good girl. So please...please. Don't call me one.

Good Girl
I don't like being called "good girl" anymore. Not because I don't like the way you say it, or why you're saying it. No. I don't like being called "good girl" because of a man. I met him at a party, my friend ditched me. I was watching everyone around me relax and have fun, but I was so tense. He must have picked up on my weakness, like a predator to prey. He handed me a drink and kept me company, he said I looked nervous. He told me to relax and to take a hit off his joint. I didn't want to be there anymore, but I tried to take his advice. We sat on the floor near the double doors and he told me I still looked nervous. He said I had no reason to be that he'd never let anything happen to me. I just laughed because he only just met me. Next thing I remember I wasn't feeling too good, my head was dizzy...no cloudy, and the floor was the ceiling. I remember his eyes on me, so hungry. I remember his hands on me, whereas mine were incapable of moving. He couldn't meet my eyes and I couldnt remember where we were or how we got there, but it wasn't by the double doors anymore. I remember noises, the dim lighting around us, I tried to focus on anything and everything else. I was screaming, but I don't actually know if the noise came out. I remember the hot tears that slid down my face as he slid over my body. I was a toy, I couldn't do anything, I was a puppet to his whim.

I don’t know the moment we became friends I don’t know the moment you transformed from a looming, strong-willed Sasquatch To a cute ’n’ kind Koala I’m not sure how you managed that change but I’m glad you did Not that I’m saying you were the only one to change Perhaps I was the Sasquatch before and have since softened into a loving Llama or a caring Camel In any case, it really doesn't matter who did the changing Just that it happened That out of all the random connections that could be made We were challenged to care for each other. I don’t know what brought us together or why Maybe it was nature challenging its bounds to see what it could get to fall in love with what Perhaps it was just us realizing there was a kindred spirit behind all of that bristled Sasquatchian fur Whatever it was I’m betting God was ultimately behind it *** He’s legit like that Honestly though, I’m glad it happened I’m glad that my view of you changed. I’m glad that I got to know you. I’m stoked that we talk and let each other know what’s happening in life. I rejoice that you were a persistent little Sasquatch when I had written you off. I’m glad I can call you friend. I can honestly say that I would take a bullet for you, That’s right; I’ll be your guard Llama I would traverse space and time, fight all laws of physics and all the sciences just to make sure you were ok For you I would find Atlantis, I’d find the “missing link” I’d find all the things that are mysterious and leave you puzzling I’d travel to places that aren't possible to reach simply because people have ceased to believe in them And make strangers begin to believe again just to make you smile or distract you from the hurt for even a moment My dear sweet little Sasquatch I adore you I treasure you Couldn't live without you

i loved you, right a love unreturned, unrequited but alas, still stoked by little miners with hearts of brass their iron faces grimacing at the task, little beads of lots of sweat dripping down their taut frowns. so what i meant to say is that i love you, right, and it’s a love that still burns, bright, enough to bring the boys home but let’s be honest it wouldn’t best the sun, but **** it’s a terrible light, it throws everything into a soft relief where pretty, soft voiced sheep say pretty, soft voiced things like ‘it’s okay to feel this way’ ‘i want you to be happy’ ‘she sounds amazing’ and other things that normal people tell me mean that either i don’t love you or i’m moving on. they don’t understand though, i mean, i love you, right, though all that sheep **** makes it sound as if i’m waving you off, smashing the celebratory champagne on your bow, waving you off into the distance with a lacy hanky, joyful tears cascading down my powdered cheekbones, i’m greedy maybe even, needy, a disgusting word and even if i make pacts with myself to the order of ‘he can do so much better’ ‘i am damaged goods’ and other associated half truths i’d be a liar if i said that i would kick you out of bed or even rebuke the slightest of advances, no i’d take my chances and i cannot bear it, really i’d touch you and whatever wholeness whatever someone else would parse as clean or pure or holy wouldn’t disintegrate, no wouldn’t tarnish, no would most probably just implode under the combined pressure of emotionally-mentally-fucked-in-the-head-doe (where the **** do you think the miners got all that coal) so, yes… wait. no? i love you, right but just ignore it enjoy the lights please remember them tell your friends and cherish them until they are taken by death, drink, dementia but i’m sure your mum, teacher, or television long ago informed you that bright lights are detrimental to vision so think of your future and forget now if you’re tempted by how i look at you remember how sunburn seems innocuous until you see your skin and sunscreen pretty useless ‘til you learn the sun will win and the best way to avoid dainty melanoma is to go inside and lock your door and act like you don’t know her.

I recall her stripping me naked Then she danced around the bed Slowly, enticingly disrobing her voluptuous form Her firm breast bouncing free from her bra My ******** began to ache As she slipped her tounge around it's head Her ******* hard & rubbery adorned the fleshy mountains I saw Hands wrapped around each I stroked & squeezed & suckeled Her wet crotch sliding down my leg Left a sticky trail Her mouth found a throbing shift And stoked it to it's base Where there she ****** in my ***** And gently rolled them in her mouth And around her face Up the shaft she came again though this time it slide down Her throught, warm & wet & exhaled Again & again she went I almost surcumed I pushed her back And dove between her thighs My tounge found that sweet spot between the sticky lips Lapping up her sweet honey drips Sliding my tounge from one end to the other ******* on that harden **** Until she gushed more sticky stuff Then slowly I plunged as deep as I could Filling up  that sweet pink hole And there I plunged again & again Until my cheeks were sore Slowly I raised myself Hands upon her thighs Spreading her lovelyness As wide as she  could split She reached down & grabed my form Holding hard she guided it in Not even a chance to heav forwards SHE CAME UP KER BAM As she fell back I drove it home My ***** smacked her in the *** Stroking deep & slow at first There was no holding her back Bucking & bounching she managed to turn around so I got her from hehind She reached under & grabed my ***** Like a lease it was as she pulled me in Faster & faster we went Then she pushed me back Grabed my shaft & began to **** She said to me very sweetly I want to drink U all

We watched the sun fall down and scrape its knee again, across the horizon. Effusing amaranth, carmine, and cochineal across polluted vista. It felt petty to issue guttural laughs, or engage the myofacial crescents beneath its visual lament as the Earth turned its back again. We watched the sun rise, bruised, tender and shy this morning. Its muddled contusion obviated by the gauze of fog. A mottled neophyte - Luminescent crepuscular rays defied dregs of interstellar debris and cloud. Aching to kiss your skin - In stellar cloud nursery, it eschewed the torque of orbit and gravity - eras before verity of your essence. Humbly settling concentrically about oblate sphere, and gaseous tome. Latterly - It altered the atmospheric pressure on the other side of the planet a week antecedently, as you clung to your dream lattice, and Earth innately turned oblate nucleus. Its intent – A veneration of you. It bade the atmosphere convey a breeze echoing about your dermis, as it gilded your frame laconically, betwixt shaded steps beneath cloud and arbor. The sun yelled at me at its pinnacle today, Pallid bone – molten - miasma of rage Its core missive garnered inertia – coronal plasma warping ellipsoid factions in inflections of elusive filigree Pirouetting spicules spattered smelted torrents in the dismal anchorite Atomic schism – silent but felt It stoked humidity under shadowed niche - casual vaporous smears evinced no clemency. Flesh torqued, and seized beneath itself, briny globules shed from puckered pore. Culminations of sensitive fluid sacs scorched into the shallows of my chassis. Insignia knit in cellular shrapnel The sun ignored me today – or perhaps, it was I it. Enigmatic tenacious resolution – an echo of its gravitational collapse Inverse thermonuclear fusion It is not fear in a relationship that keeps you apart, it is neglect of the infinitesimal.

I once penned - To find someone that would Want you, exactly as you are Was to find depth In an ocean of shores. I look no more. I could not care less, that My fear used to get the best Of me. It still lingers and creeps Even in my sleep, But I know I'm afraid only Because shes perfect, Perfect as can be - Realistically speaking, Shes just right for me. I cannot write of beauty, And that's not for the lack of it. It is only because I'm so distracted By her charm and wit - The funny accents, slightly ***** jokes But with capacity of depth Only oceans invoke I see passionate flames That just need to be stoked. At this point I cannot tell If this will work out well. I can only say that I will love her fully. I will let her destroy me Completely. I will not back down, I will try To give myself to her As if I was never broken Because shes deserves more Than the shell of the man I believe I am. If she cries in the Dead of night, I want to hear every last Word soaked in pain leave her be. If where she lies Lacks enough light, I want to be right by Her side, just so she can sleep peacefully. And if my eyes Start to lose sight, I know I need not see. I know shes got me. I need not more - I've got her To calm my seas. Let me sing, Let me soar - The Left Handed Leo roars I've found depth In an ocean of shores.
