Beautiful

Golden-haired goddess,
Fresh-faced, flushed,
Roman remnant.

Painted, sculpted...
Whatever medium you choose -
Her beauty is elusive and
Shan't be captured -
Shan't be touched.



Note: I'm not really sure what to make of this one. But it came from my head, so I put it on paper and typed it up here.

Inexpressible

I laugh at the time,
But later I cry inside.
[ If I ever cry on the outside, you’ll know I’ve broken:

Cracks in the armor…
Weak spots? Or hidden rivers of strength?

Truth flows unbidden from the crevices,
Crashing over walls, turning them to rubble.
Exposing every hope, every fear, every insecurity, with a mad rush of cleansing currents.

It leaves me naked and vulnerable…Is there any return back from the edge of insanity? ]

Winter Blues?

avoiding homework,
avoiding life

causing anger,
causing strife.

inner pain,
won't go away,

can't get out
of my own way.

there is no pattern,
no rhyme, no reason,

oh how I loathe
this endless season.

Desire Unfulfilled

My skin,
tingling along to
the grinding rhythm
of electric guitars

My heart,
the heavy beating
pounding to the driving
pattern of the drums

My breath,
erratic and wistful,
silent sobs dryly echoing
the power of screaming vocals

My soul,
crying out in desperation,
weeping with the knowledge
that there is still a long wait -
as long as the silence between songs,
stretching to eternity.


*NOTE: I worked a little on my first version of this poem, and eventually this is what I submitted to Out of Words.

Defying Gravity

Liquid chocolate,
runs deep within my veins

Warming my core,
Melting my thoughts...

They settle in a shiny brown puddle
between my feet.
I wiggle my toes, then I splash about.

Particles of dreams rise in the air,
glittering away in tiny sparkles...
Like backwards snowflakes,
Defying Gravity.

Come to Me

Come to me,
And I'll sing you songs of love.

Not in words and notes,
But in tender kisses and passionate holds.

Let me show you what you mean to me
More than the stars in the sky,
More than the paintings of the sun...
More than rain on sand,
Or snow softly falling in the forest.

Come to me,
And I'll sing you songs of love.
Never-ending songs of commitment,
Loyalty, trust...the knowledge that
Forever we belong to each other.

Come to me...
Let me show you how I love you.

Going Insane

Once again I am going insane.

Banging my head against the wall,
Driving too fast in the pouring rain.

I’ve lost myself in darkness,
Nothing seems to cure this pain.

Quaking with madness,
Rational thoughts drip down the drain.

Not knowing what to think,
Anger…frustration…bane upon bane.

Self-control seems forever lost,
To return from the abyss: naught but vain.

I grow sick and tired of this fight,
My spirit continues to wane.

And none of this makes any sense!
If only someone could explain!

Just tell me, please, how I can fix this!
Because,

Once again I am going insane.
