"Mask"
You steal the fire in their eyes,
Knowing that it would devoid them of breath.
How is it that your sweet expression now seems so perversely tainted?
They made you believe a vapid lie that ravaged your soul.
Say nothing. Say nothing.
Bite your forked tongue and turn away.
Suck on your jaded pride, you ignorant girl,
The world doesn't survive on your ( Read more... ) -
“Rinse”
Unfocused eyes
Tear through the room.
A sliver of a cloud
Rips away all the yellow.
Freckled skies
Drown in frail hearts.
A noise more than loud
Strips out all the blue.
To dream again,
To rest at last.
A fading mark of ties.

...And So, the Dreamer Keeps Dreaming
In some ways, to be numb is to be free.
A crystal chandelier spins like a kaleidoscope. A room fills with swaying figures in paper masks. This is the way the world perceives to me at times.
Don’t let anyone in. Don’t believe everything you hear. If you drop your guard, that gaudy chandelier could plummet straight onto your head, a hundred crystal ( Read more... ) -
Contradiction
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out...
I tremble. My whole body quakes. And I’m trying to hold on to something, anything that will hold me together.
I won and lost something important to me in one day.
‘Funny how my life works.

"Conundrum"
I don’t need your covers pressing me down;
A tear drop sliding across the gown.
I don’t need a plaster mask to make it still;
The screaming marks are my will.
Drop crystal hues and ticking hands.
Sing for the day with glossy bands.
A heart shutters like lustful lips,
As the devils unseal their eyes.
A finger trembles on tainted tips,
As the tattered wings ( Read more... ) -
Past Reason Hated
Please come whisk me away from this hammering conundrum. A spider’s web, dripping with blood, suspends a lifeless body; and I hear the vulture’s laughter blast in my ear.

"Desition"
ba-bum
ay that lingering smile
an evident musk thick in the air,
squirming worms slash to get out
muscles tense at the diminutive flicker
edges of a hole smolder like internal acid
an revived memory of a face full of concern
atmosphere feels compressed at each silence
intense eyes no longer loiter at this wavering fire
bring that optimist to her so the ( Read more... ) -
Silver Locket
I’ll fold up my heart like a piece of paper and lock it away. It will be a time capsule filled with ruby memories.
Unlock its contents and I will be your Saturn again, your lucky charm. And we’ll float away on magic multicolored balloons shaped like cats and puppies and giraffes and pterodactyls that can carry us anywhere we want to go, like ( Read more... )
