6am

A heavy lace follows round my heart,

I cough,

Startle me like the morning and I will reply in the haste of a lamb,

Memories trickling down my mind like candle wax,

All for what?

I wonder,

Follow the lines...

Be good and be kind,

I stretch to over come them,

The pianist playing my chords is at ends,

He wipes his brow,

Been there days,

Holding out for a miracle,

For holy sound,

As do I,

Grinning in the soft heat,

I dance upon the corals,

Waiting to find

Me.

#14

I dont think i am doing enough. I dont think i can rest knowing you dont feel like the queen of the world. I believe in making sure people know how much they mean, even if it sounds like a different language to them. You might be finding it hard to believe but i think of you more and more as the days go on. I spent so much time waiting for the sunrise that i didnt realise you are just that. You tan my heart and my soul, im scared of what that means.

Alone

Alone

We conquer,

We fail

We fly

Alone

We capture;

Our spirits -

Alive,

Alone?

We trespass,

Compete,

Prevail,

Alone...

comparing

Sights,

Unknown

Alone,

Catastrophe

Promises,

Broken

Alone,

My heart

Keeps on

Hoping.

[fromawithlovex]

Sunsets of fire

Do I take myself for a fool?

When the fern is orange

The sky a fire,

Burning through eyes into my soul;

A cascading smoke of emotion

Comes from within,

Breathless peace

I float into the trees,

Making home in the branches

Careful as thieves,

I see faeries -

Walk in trepidation,

Hold my hand in the fear of falling

What would happen?

Would I die?

Calling

Out to you,

In the hope I am true

Precious laughter,

I hope

I am that.

Butterfly

I'm falling I'm drowning;

A face so astounding,

Kiss me quick

You found me!

A god in the water,

A hand on my shoulder,

Wait

I need time to get over...

Passion flowers bloom

And I'm caught in the loom,

Bring me a bouquet

Like a butterfly,

Cocooned.

[fromawithlovex]

Tilted

The fire is warm,

My heart glows

You have a calmness

I do not possess on my own,

But my thoughts they flip,

I am disguised and bit,

I tell myself you're not

My type

That it's

Not right

That you don't even enjoy anything about me

At night,

I have cried

For the loss of the boy I thought I knew,

He messed up my head

Now things are askew,

My fondness of you?

Grows ever stronger

And I get scared because you act so cool,

Sombre

I cannot compete with that kind of still

My life is a roundabout of adventure,

Pain and cartwheels,

I'm a moving time piece

Thats rolling on a reel,

Always creating

A movie to spin,

Hope kisses me at night too,

You breathe my skin

I get lost in you,

Don't forget

I'm broken inside

A rag doll with holes in her side,

I'm stitching

But it's taking its time

Just hold on

I don't want to be fine,

I'm alive.

An old book can never be new

I turn the page,

Forget my soul -

The words run away with themselves;

I'm no longer whole,

After the war I rested,

Drunk on milk and honey

Slept for days,

Saw the sun rise and the moon come up

Made peace with my scars,

Sewed them up,

And then my broken body began to walk

Stiff,

Awkward

Into a new season,

Leaves turn

And the memories descend to ash,

Some things trigger inside of me

A propeller at sea,

Like the times you would hit my face,

Just for saying please,

and made me forget I ever saw anything,

That it was all my imagination,

A figment not worth mentioning,

Just like me

An unworthy opponent,

Truly.

Travellers

Your eyes glisten like a burnt sunset

And when I look at you I'm safe

That never happens

It's like a calm sea washes over my chest

And the waves part

To no arrest

I'm an island and you comfort me

A warm hand

Placed on my back

Effortlessly

We sip tea on the back of a truck

Laughing to the moonlight

Your bag got stuck

Tonight we fly and tomorrow we dream

Leave the door open

For the stars to send us to sleep

Soft kisses and I begin to dream

A smoky cloud

You rest

I can only imagine
