Save yourself.

Simple written lines
Scars fade over time
The tick of a clock
The warmth of a sock
A candle with a flame
A life without pain

Oh vain compassion
And spinning compass
Who do I turn to
Who do I trust

Am I really pretty
You say I'm beautiful
Is it just a mask I wear
To hide the fear

My hair is long and true
But it shields my face from you
Maybe I cant handle the pressure
Maybe I don't want the lecture

I want a touch soft and gentle
In a world so elemental
Watch my faces see the lines
Untie that ropes that hold and bind

I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU*
You don't have to do anything
You don't have to change
I just want you to be
Without feeling strange

Want you to laugh
And not hold your breath
Want you to cry
Till no tears are left

You can feel better
Without all the sleeves
Just take your time
I won't ever leave

We **** for chaos
Die for peace
Live to fast
Lies threaded between our teeth

It was a good three minutes
I smiled for about half that time
And my pride was overflowing
When I realized
That all that was inside
No matter how awful
Never found its way
To be traced upon my skin
This time.
And that is something
I will be eternally grateful for
Feel free to congratulate me
Because this my friends
Is an achievement
Deserving of a medal

I guess she thought it was okay
To let me know her in that way
I think she knew the intent
And the way my heart was spent
How circumstances change a view
And love sometimes clouds your view
The tears fell like water over a sodden face
I never knew that this could take its place
I was told dreams are made of dust from a star
But mine are made of earthly things not quite so far
They brought a dream of the kind type
It wasn't enough though, to bring light
Like a an heir to a throne you left your kingdom
And me behind, to fight the war
A war I could never win alone
But hey that is what soul mates are for
Forget dreams and remember me
Shut the gates and throw away the key
Just love me now, and until tomorrow
We will forget the sorrow
For today is its own and you are mine
And will dance forever even if it is only a short time

Falling in love with a poet
Is like drowning with a lifejacket
As soon as you think you are done
They pull you back up to the surface
The water still fills your lungs
But they breathe life into you
Pull to a desolate shore
And begin to write in soulful lore

Falling in love with an artist
Is like being a canvas
They will see your beauty and flaws equally
But cover them with layers of love stroked gracefully
Its gentle strokes of teeth marked brushes
Words shouted and rough touches
Its the masterpiece slowly unveiled
A piece of beauty on a bigger scale

Falling in love with a singer
Is learning how to win her
Never break her shattered heart
Just to hold her from the start
To know the lines in her face
How she walks and takes each pace
The sway of hips and a rhythmic pattern
The love of the taciturn

When words say little
And emotions run high
But they love we hold
Will never run dry

That one fleeting wish taking its time
The stars glow as they slowly aline
Celestial beings carved by a creator
Outer space and its fickle nature

Empty poems that carry dreams
So far away, as it seems
Drop of water and the sun that doth shine
Spinning around on a clock set by time

Oh free choice and captive rings
And many untold secret thing
A moon seen by two different sets of eyes
Each wondering if the shines

Oh wolf howlers midnight friend
And earthy showers that you send
The patient night bringing morning dusk
But in the stars who can you trust?

he is coals, almost unburning

I, grass, covered in dew

we lay, in the earth

until the sun makes us new

Your words are sharp
Like a two edged blade
The people I hurt
The choices I made
The words you speak
Are not set in stone
But if you speak anymore lies
You will stand alone
And it is my death
You will have to atone

We are quite dark in the middle
That is where I go

Some seem to grow hearts on trees
They nurture them before they break open the hard packed earth
Singing to make them grow, like a witches melody
They want the tree to rise higher
To bloom in full feelings, emotions and dreams
Yet some trees are poisoned the fruit they bear is dark
Blood mixed with ink and all the broken promises
Other are bright as golden wishes and strong sunlight
Some may be shriveled, they had love to make them grow
But bye and bye they slowly let it go
Others look still so tempting to the eye
That you would wish to pluck it and eat it in one bite
But if you saw the inside you would know it wasn't right
No heart was perfect but each felt the world just the same
Each loved light, loved love, and hated pain
It is a big wonder how so many different hearts
Could come from the one and same tree
It is a small wonder though they grew these all
Yet no one gave one to me

Just another day on the other side
I travel here so quickly
I have nothing to hide

It was as if you were my broken heart
How did you know to be everything that I felt
Yet what am I with you
That I am not without
We mourn in our hearts for the earth when she loses a beautiful soul
Still spring comes each year
Only to birth flowers that will fade into the soil
Yet if our pockets are full so quickly do we wipe away our tears
As quickly as the petals face the sun

While you were not in season
It would be a lie born on my lips to say you were not my reasoning
I have buried these things in my stomach with a heavy heart
Why do these fleeting thoughts weigh so much
I am a fool to carry them with me to all the places that I know
Cursing the ground as I walk that they know the way so well

What delusion is this that I would find comfort in that which brings me pain
I bear all things
For what
It brings me no honor to be a wallflower
This is my folly to keep the seat I have for you in my heart warm
This trickle of time will soon be a current and we are swept up in our worries as never before
Oh when things were simple
Between you and I
If only I had lived my life in those days
These regrets are nothing
This shame like a burn from the sun on my face

How I carry on now
With my face to the ground
A wanderers plight
A restless soul
I have exiled myself in my own way
I have no courage to find my way back
The familiarity burns into me
Even as this day dies before my eyes

When tomorrow comes
My feet hit the dirt long after the rising of the sun
I will walk the way I have gone before
Though still I hope one day
It will lead me back to you
I know I am walking in circles
That's just what broken hearts do
With nothing to feed this hope
I walk in circles, trying to find you

Can I ask you
To filter air gently
Through your lungs
Before you release it
Into my mouth
I will devour you one day
We will burn
Like the sun when she finally dies
Big, and bright, and beautiful
You have never felt the cold before
I would not believe ice existed
After I feel
The warmth of your touch
Burn through me
Peeling back my layers
Until we come to center
I’ve got you
Right where I want you
Under my skin
Burrow into my soul
She longs for you
Like a breath of fresh air

I haven't been honest with you
I lost my anchor to windward

I drowned inside a long time ago
I said goodbye before I left the shore

A book of confused emotions
Scratched words and etched notions
Flowers drawn on tear stained paper
Looking for a savior
Reading by the moonlight
Hoping to make it through the night
A prayer to a God above
Mixed with fear and washed out love
Drawn away from what she knows
Where the darkness ever grows
Lost between the shadow lands
Hiding in the palm of his hand
A dark story with darker dreams
Who know what this world means

I love to look at the moon

I miss having windows

On nights such as this

I wonder quietly

If the moon misses

My eyes looking in awe

At such a beautiful thing

You do not fear the trees
You fear the forest in the dark
The rustle of leaves you did not make
The wind in your ears you did not fake
You breath smoking against the crispness of the air
Cold existence, creeping into your lungs
Fingers not yet numb
Clutching at sanity
As it slips into the dark

Try as you might
You will not bleed me dry
Not of my love

From all of the mortals below perspectives
You seemed to run so slow across the sky

For it was a dance of an eternity
A moment in the night of your life

And so you took your sweet time
As you ascended among the stars

To be the beautiful light we watch
You blushed red, from all the attention

And hid behind your neighbor
But with a gentle light you glow

So well you know your journey
So beautifully you dance

And as those of this earth looked on
You dared to take a glance

Every eye beneath the stars
Was yours to consume

And in each of the iris's
You saw a shinning full moon

It does nothing for me to cry
Still, I do it anyway
I'm stubborn like that

Is your humility a crown or a carpet

I write poetry like a:*

loser white girl
a broken hearted stalker
some lonely little dreamer
the skies actually care
your kisses could breathe
like life knows my fate
and believer in unicorns

I do not care to say what has not been said
Are their any words of life left in this galaxy?

Merely existing to reiterate past emotions
And create new dreams written in tides of the ocean
To lay upon the sand, basking in the sun
So as the light fades each letter
They will rest in the embrace of the earth

like a dope addict
no matter what the cost
I still always come back
to you
for more of my high

Can I write my lies fast enough for you to believe
Can you break my heart soon enough for me to grieve
Just another sun that sets far to fast
Just another shovel digging up the past

Your words are to sharp
The slice between skin
My bones are broken
And my skin far to thin

Things thrown to break windows
Trying to hide before it snows

Out a window
Just a few stories
Down the steps
Tripping on threats

Left foot
Right foot
Walking on coals

Left hand
Right hands
Against the wall

Bodies writhing like snakes
Just one simple mistake

before the golden un-woken dawn
I stand measureless in time
the days unknown mysteries
in strands start to form
the un-dried dew in the grass rises
to create tendrils of life
the birds unanswered cry
sings forth into light
the uncapped ocean tides
reach for the mornings promise
in all the unviewed beauty
nothing is ever lost
in this undefiled moment
it doesn't come with a cost

A shift in my bones
A crack in the ceiling
A squeak in the floor
Drugs in the bathroom
Money in the mattress

I paid my landlady
But will the cops catch us?

The stars rose into the sky
And as they died
They fell to the earth
The sand embraced them
Coveting the warmth of the fire
Like kisses of passion
That beat like drums
Into the night sky
They race to the heavens
And the in showers of waves
Like the hair of a goddess
They fall to the earth
And the kisses of smoke
Filling the lungs of the moon
Out of the sky
Into the water
Petals of guns
Roses of the midnight hour
Burning into the souls
Of the mortals below
Who worship the night
And all it contains
Boom. Like a heartbeat.
Rainbows in my veins
They scream through the night
Out of the lungs of the gods
Over the earth
And all it contains
Until they die
Wrapped in the earth
Like a blanket of death

The morning star, born into light.

I say your name
A prayer in the dark
The same way
Your mother gave it to you
Whispering it
Into your hair with pride
When you were born
She had heard God
Seed it into her stomach
I say it now with love
For I know no other way
It will carry us to the altar

I tell you it bothers me, mine
Shake my head
Tears in my eyes
Say it's fine
You didn't set boundaries
She crosses the line
You say you love me
I say more
I wonder so much
How we have so little time
