Tapestry

Turn off the lights
Spread the curtains
Of the night sky
For we are nocturnal
Tell the tales
Craft a story
Where everyone is included
The threads of your stories weave
A tapestry
We have been here for many moons
And the sky has been exhausted of its tears
The sun is too tired to keep on smiling
My blood will dye your threads
My eyes will bejewel the ropes
My body will lie atop the many that came before me
And I will be the last.

Forever Falling Never to Fly(Mature, 16+)

Falling forever falling--
How do you do dear daughter?
Eyes like the void,
Voice like silk and song
Sweet like sugar
Lovely as a lily
Shine like the sun
Singing like a songbird
Pretty as posies
Delicate as dandelions
How do you do dear daughter?
Falling forever never to fly.

Seaside Sunsets

Remember when the sky was rainbow at every sunset
And the earth became just a silhouette to
Be the stage of the sky?
It makes more sense as colors than words
When the sun is dipping into the water,
mixing color into clear
When the sky becomes an arrangement of shades,
Sucking the hue from the world,
And the rest of the world is cast in its shadow.

The World as a Whole

You've choked me, Now broken
You've woke me, now mopin'
The snowflakes are delicate
Handle them gently--they are my bones
My heart is in the fallen leaves
My mind sleeps within the spring breeze
My love is entwined with the summer sweets
Please be careful with me--I'm pieces, I'm Earth, I'm the sweet sound of unburdened mirth--
Be gentle with the plants--they are my hands,
And the beautiful, marvelous, wonderful world as a whole?
Be kind with it--it is my soul.

I'm the pigeons soaring, I'm the spring shower pouyring, I'm in the air, I'm the old farm mare, in the trees, in your creaking knees in the worn-down stairs, I'm everywhere.

Pain Olympics

Fighting to keep a grin off my face
How can you boast pain when you're boasting at all?
Blood, and iron, and metallic taste
The flavor of the forsaken as they fall.

Mo(u)rning tears

Morning tears
To stain your face
Once again
As dawn breaks
Mourning tears
So beautiful
Says only those
In blindness
And romance

Morning tears
To remember a dream
Once again
In the burning sky
Mourning tears
So hideous to see
An ugly sight
For sore eyes.

Laughing bells

The stars,
Such pure dreams
They laugh like bells,
Chiming in the darkness
Nightlights, scaring away shadows
Soothing the scarred hopeless wretched--
Singing, a gentle song for us
In the dead of night
Compassion and the waxy, candle moon
The creaking of a bucket as it climbs up the well
The water sings a hollow tune
We quench our thirst,
Then back into that sandy sea
A snake only has enough poison for one,
But the stars will keep laughing like bells
Soft like the strokes of light.

Coping (Mature, 16+)

Look into the mirror
To hate what you see
Your sugar gone bitter
Your sight across the sea

Eyes blurry and dazed with fog
Forgetting gold and gray alike
Burying pain beneath the boy
Staking fear on cold, cruel pike

Blood to forget the pain that passed
Control your breathing leaking out
Hiding the scars that have amassed
Covering them up like blinding your doubt

Muffle cries and quiet tears
Ice meets burning, biting writhe
Liquid lies for all your fears
Forget and remember how repulsive

Trying to to unlock a broken door
Amnesia and anhedonia alone
You weren't there when my heart tore
So I'm sure I can't blame you for having not known.
