Ebony GirlFor when she enters the room of music
the people turn to stare at her in awe.

As the music plays without a hitch
she moves around and dances with grace.

The men trade and all night they dance
the light of candles casting great shadows.

The beauty of her is greater than all
coming forth when she dips low in elegance.

The men dance and the women envy
and the elegant girl has a mask of ink.

The calls of night are too great to hold
and she slips away when the music is gone.

Men disperse but women still talk
elegance of woman is nothing to be heard.

The girl is gone but the music still echoes
before tomorrow even dawn the rumors start.

Story of My Life (abridged)One tall mountain, no easy climb.

The view from here

The view from here

I open my eyes only to see
a coat of silent snow covering
the old pine tree. My heart tugs
as I shift the weight of my thoughts
back and forth between there and reality.

The view from here is shortsighted,
and that tugging
mind-numbing.

Day .026.

Without a PurposeI dreamt I wore a heart sign on my chest
And didn't watch my feet when I walked.
In this dream, my head wasn't dying.
Then it ended, and I don't know if I woke up
For my sake or everyone else's.

Distant AdmirersWe stare at each other
through a crystal screen,
eyes set in a yearning gaze.
And in the solemn hour
we relentlessly dream,
imagining that very day...

When we finally meet
in an authentic embrace,
finding each other's heart.
In the midst of a kiss
with a honeysuckle taste,
never wandering apart.

But until the time arrives
to break past the blue,
we'll continue to dream.
Forever pondering o'er
the presence of you
beyond the crystal screen.

I'll Keep My AnswerBut I'll keep my answer to myself,
And no one will know, and no one will help.
I'll keep my answer till the end,
And no one will care, no one will pretend.

It started when I lived on my own,
And nobody cared that I was alone.
I figured they'd like it if they didn't know
It was their fault I hurt myself so.

Then came the day when I had to leave,
And nobody cared, and they were relieved.
Then the day came when I had to change,
And it was their fault that I was so strange.

Trapped in a world where they tear you in two,
And nobody cared, and no one had glue.
And then came the day I had to meet you,
And it was their fault that I hur

Werewolves, vampires, and ghosts

Werewolves, vampires, and ghosts, oh my!
And here I was sure they were friends.
Bela, one night, for my neck did try,
till his cape got caught on the fence!

Werewolves, vampires, and ghosts, good gawd!
Am I dreaming or is it all true?
When Lon grew a beard I found it quite odd,
was it real or he used super glue?

Werewolves, vampires, and ghosts, good lord!
Am I in Transylvania or what?
Casper came callin' one night, I was bored,
and then green-slimed me right 'cross the gut!

Werewolves, vampires, and ghosts, oh please!
I say enough is enough is enough!
I wish to gawd these wackos would cease,
before I grow fangs, turn into a wolf!

Living a Lie.Living a Lie.

You say things you don't mean when you're angry.
You call me a waste of space and that you can't stand me.

When the dust settles you say you don't mean it.
You say I should know better than to believe it.

As usual I foolishly upkeep your illusive hold on me.
I allow you to mute my thoughts and take control of me.

You promise and reassure me that it will never happen again.
That this is the last time and you will put it all to an end.

But I know promises only comfort fools,
Who readily allow others to pull the wool

Over our eyes because it is easier to swallow the lies.
Can it be a mistake if it happens more than tw

Happiness is...

the sun in the sky
the clouds puffy white
the wind in my hair
the scent of a rose

the moon up above
the stars all around
the sound of the ocean
the salt on my tongue

the top of the peak
the green on the slope
the soft grass beneath
the smell of the pines

the house on the hill
the glow of the fire
the bread in the oven
my soft feather pillow

ProtestYou thought you had us silenced,
But now we're getting loud.
You thought you had us beaten,
You thought you had us cowed.

But we rose up to fight you
It's a battle to be heard.
You're fighting us with silence
So we'll fight you back with words.

You took away our houses,
But you want us off the streets.
Now we're tired of taking orders
So we're disturbing your "peace".

I Can't Sleep.Jealousy overtakes me
To the point where I can’t breathe
But I don’t want to breathe
Save me

I’m filled with hate
And I don’t want to be
But I am
And it helps me breathe.

My love is the fuel
To this fire
And for the sake of love
Get me to see the truth

I know the truth
But I can’t think
Only feel
Emotions never cared about logic

Help me
I scream to myself
It has to be me
No one else can help me

I’m stuck in denial
Like a paradox
Now I think I’m okay
But I’m not.

Why can’t I see what you mean?
Why can’t I hear your words?
Why can’t I believe?
Open my eyes…

Bound and ReadyBound and tight, sitting
in a game of whips and chains
ecstasy on hand.

I'm not living ... in the presentI'm not living :
empty soul in a crumbling body,
forgotten shadow,
a picture somewhere an album is still holding.

I'm not visible,
among the walls of greys
different shades of the same colours.
I'm just anover anonymous pigment.

I'm not breathing,
suffocated by too much perfume,
to hide the detestable smell
of my slowly decaying skin.

In my past I am hiding,
memories keeping me company,
they are more tender to me
than the ever fast running present,
slowly erasing me.

Hi, my name is.....Hello, my name is
Archaic and mysterious
                                Hidden in the depths of a leather book
                                                Secret to all
                                                Unknown by all

Cervical Plexusnothing has ever begun
wars have never been won
a strange pulse
in a cancerous sun
I closed my eyes
and felt its heat
burning against moist throats full of sand
that were strangled by prosthetic hands
the pressure of apocalypse
started to descend
an evolution begging to end
I gazed at a dead baby
with uncontrollable envy
while Death arose
from a recent rape
starving for disgrace
and bathed in hate
she had a gun to her head
and a mouth that had never been fed
and the last thing she ever said
"it all starts with the end"

Mirror, mirror on the wallMirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the tragedy
Of us all

A family torn apart,
Loved ones lost forever, never to return

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Show me the feelings
Of us all

Flashes of gray
And a heart, broken in half

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the crime
Of us all

People rioting
Fighting over meaningless issues

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the history
Of us all

A soldier, bloodied and tainted,
Trucking through blood covered ground.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me a place
That is safe for us all

Bountiful fields
A utopia of peace and love

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the hope
Of us all

I'll wait for youHeart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

Chibitalia stared at the young country in front of him, wondering what Holy Rome was trying to prove by going away to war. Italy had never been in love before, but now, he knew that his world would be a little less bright now without Holy Rome. Italy didn't have one doubt in Holy Rome though, as he knew that the other would do his best in everything he could.

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years

Time

There is nothing more devastating
Than losing a loved one

Knowing that you will never
Hear their voice again

Or feel their touch, or see them smile
It's heart breaking

Time is a powerful thing
One that is forever

Time takes everything
And makes it it's own

They say that time
Heals all wounds

I disagree
Time only created more scars

As the ones that it caused before
Begin to heal

To lose a loved one
Is a tragedy all in its own

But don't be sad
You will see them again

Because while time takes everything it can
Eventually

Time
Will take you too.

Time takes everything
And eventually it even takes you.

Goodbye P.14: France and CanadaMatthew never felt as small as he did right now. Sure he was a child, and the word was large to his tiny body, but now he felt small not only in body, but in soul. His papa stood over him, holding little Matthew in place with one hand on the top of his head. Not that Matthew would have made any move to try to get away anyway. Before him stood the man that his papa always argued with, Arthur. Then in his arms was a small boy just like Matthew, named Alfred. Matthew wanted nothing more than to hide behind his papa and try to get away from these strangers.

"Take him Arthur." His papa suddenly said, making everyone in the room stare at him in su

Let us all remember
What we were fighting for

Freedom from oppression
Safety from suppression

Titanic: The Hetalia version"Felix can you hear me? The ship should be right in front of you." Came in loudly through the intercom.

"Yes, I can like totally hear you. Don't worry so much Toris." Felix's said.

Through the small window in the submarine, Felix could just make out the outline of the famous ship. As they got closer and closer their headlights made the ship totally seeable. Allowing them to see the rotting corpse of the once magnificent ship.

"Alright lets head down into it." Felix said. He was determined to find his treasure, no matter how long it would take them.

Inside the ship was even more fascinating than the outside. It was as rotting as it was on

Passion

Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Free Verse

For when the daughter experiences a first
it is the passion she feels in the night.

For when the innocent is murdered against reason
it is the cry of a nation that can’t understand.

For when the son disturbs the peace of a day
it is the rage of parents that calm his youth.

For when the music carries upon the floor
it is the color of the dress the darling wears.

For when the veil drops and all is revealed
it is the pain of truth that becomes clear.

For when the last moment is seen
it is the suffering in the eyes that shows all.

For when the child breaks the toys they cherish so
it is the shade their face turns in anger.

For when the people call for devotion
it is the color that speaks for their cries.

For when the people make for a revolution
it is the red that stains the ground eternally.

Because when the people need a reason
it is the stain of a nation that botch the pure history.

Second part of the color series~ This color was red. I tried my best to describe the color red without using the actual word red. It was a challenge but I liked it.
