You...To feel a thousand words
A spring of pure delight
The rising tide of love
That echoes through the night

Can you hear my whisper
The words I dare not write
The song my heart would sing
In rays of dazzling light

How to paint your beauty
The words I cannot find
Like a star in heaven
Your radiance doth shine

Sweet and gentle maiden
Love remains unspoken
For if you turned away
My heart and world... broken

So, in soft veils of sleep
My heart on wings will rise
Death and dragons I'll fight
And you shall be my prize...

LonelinessCruel day surrenders
To mists of softest dreams
I hear thy siren song
And walk in silver beams

Blossom rains in moonlight
Soft breeze brings thy caress
Sweet the song of nightingales
All by heaven blessed

In charmed world of wonder
This heart calls out for thee
My lonely, yearning soul
Pleads for what might be

Come then my Cleopatra
And fill this empty life
Wipe away the tears
And end this lonely strife...

Heartbreak MasqueradeI can't remember what it feels like to be happy...
My smile no longer shrouded in sincerity.
It is like a heartbreak masquerade, fooling everyone;
Exhausted, I remove my mask when the day is done.
I'm a professional at what I do: I hide what I feel -
When I get hurt, I pretend like it is no big deal.
In reality, it's killing me; feel my heart breaking
The sad part? My friends don't know that I'm faking.
I can't remember the sound of my laughter any more;
Feels odd when I smile, like I've never done it before.
My heart soaring with joy - well, that feeling is gone
Dreaming about another guy that isn't you feels wrong.
It is like I

ExistenceBroken, empty promises, a world so dull and dead
Leaving me to suffer as I hang upon this thread
Tears of glass begin to fall, a heartbeat made of stone
I was left to struggle for a worthless, lovely throne

Dreadful, lost emotions, slowly flowing through my veins
Aching thoughts and torture causing fatal bits of pain
Shadows swallow all I was and all I am to be
Slicing off my wings, and now demanding I be free

Poison sneaking through my breaths and deep into my soul
Pieces lost have been replaced to make a damaged whole
Anger rushing through my mind, for me, for them, for this
I have felt emotion for a thought that can't exist…

Loyal

Holding hands? A clever way of fighting off the cold
Telling every secret so they don't remain untold
Laughing, though he's said it oh so many times before
Staring deep into his eyes to open rusted doors
Staying up to talk to him, but only for support
Innocent intentions others do tend to distort
Kissing him so gently, promises until the end…
Can't destroy this happiness with such a loyal friend…

My Masquerade~My Masquerade~

For the world I am displayed;
They always watch but cannot see
through my masquerade.

I feel every moment fly;
My heart is beating, pulse racing,
breath held as I lie.

My innocence I can't defend;
I know that surely this will linger
'til my very end.

I brought this all upon myself;
Mask upon mask, lie upon lie
like valueless wealth.

Dare I take these masks off – no!
My former self haunts me
everywhere I go.

False glory, false honor, false fame;
With all these masks I seem to have
forgotten my own name.

Crimson ShardBeautiful crimson shard
Glistening on the floor
Some say thou art broken
Though I see something more

Dancing in the candlelight
I see the heart within
Starlight's wondrous beauty
Caught and held herein

Sweetest Crimson shard
Thy radiance enchants
Lost in sweet surrender
My heart begins to dance

I'll hold thee forever
Make thee all mine own
Beloved crimson shard
My heart will be thy throne

Our Hourglass...Sands of oblivion
In our hourglass of time
Pouring without mercy
A trickle so sublime

Life so very precious
We often seem to waste
Missing opportunities
The wine of joy to taste

Will the page we're writing
Be marked with sad regret
Longing and not living
With doubt and fear beset

Journey then in wonder
Live and love and play
Use each precious moment
And treasure every day...

She is Me.You're distancing yourself again
But I'm afraid she won't be following you this time
She can't 'Forgive and Forget'
She'll forgive because it's the right thing to do
But the scar will remain as a reminder

She doesn't want to be with the people who hurt her
Like you did
She doesn't want to get close to those who don't trust her
Like you do
She doesn't want to be betrayed again

Stop questioning her all the time
Maybe that's the reason she doesn't speak?
Not to get close to anyone
Not to let information leak
Not to have anyone know, what she has become

She's too fragile
Very soon she may break
Yet she still searches for someone

The FeatherThe world moved around me
And life just passed on by
No one spared a second glance
Or stopped to wonder why?
They saw so very little
They never looked within
As if the act of caring
Were a special type of sin
Perhaps this broken heart
Was never meant to heal
And that tide of loneliness
what I'm meant to feel
Sometimes though the burden
Well it just seemed all to much
And that final clasping hand
Perhaps a welcome touch
But then came my salvation
In the welcome land of sleep
A soft and gentle voice
That begged me not to weep
From the realm of heaven
A tender healing kiss
Tears that washed the pain away
Oh divine and loving bliss
Enfolded in an angels wings
I couldn't help but mend
Knowing on her love
I truly could depend
Was this just a dream?
A foolish flight of fancy?
A desperate hopeful longing
That echoes now so faintly?
Some I know would say
'by dreams you've been misled'
But they've not seen the feather
She left upon my bed...

The Impossible TaskHow to write a moonbeam
Or golden ray of light
Words to capture beauty
When heaven is in sight?

This poets quill may fail
Unfit for such a task
Though to paint such wonder
God's hand alone I'd ask

Mine eyes light upon thee
I struggle so to breathe
Lost in perfect rapture
Thy side I hate to leave

Child of Aphrodite
Radiant womanhood
Knowest that I love thee
And wouldst hold thee if I could?

Thou my heart hast stolen
I live for thee alone
Bound in these lonely chains
For love must I atone?

For one moment with thee
I would surrender all
To steal a heavenly kiss
And then on sword to fall...

A HeartA heart does not have eyes,
so it is blind,

A heart does not have ears,
so it is deaf,

But a heart does have a beat,
and it beats for you, my love.

On The EdgeI'm standing on the edge
I can feel the air hit my body
It could all be an illusion
And I can be an adventurer

I can be the explorer of the afterlife
I could be the first to venture there
I could be the first to break from this illusion
But what if there is nothing past this edge

As children we explore
And we find and learn
As adults we have learned
And we crave to explore

As I curl my toes on the edge
I think of who will care if I do
Cause I'm standing on the rooftop
Ready to fall, ready for a new start

The White Cloth

Stain that white cloth
Take away its cleanness, and innocence
Stain that White cloth
Do not think what it feels, think about yourself

The cloth won't stay the same
And the bully, the bully loved to take away the innocence
The cloth is a victim
And the bully, he thinks about his pleasure of torturing it

Either it's a piece cloth, a paper or a pen
When the bully is done, it will never be the same
The cloth is stained, the paper is ripped to pieces and the pen is broken, bleeding it's ink
The bully looks at his victims, with pride, he loves hearing their cries

Never stain the cloth
For in the end, that stain stays
Never stain the

I'm Here, TooWhy do they look at my wrists
And not at my face?
Mommy, why do they look at my arms?
It was a mistake.
Why do they panic
When I tell them I'm sad?
I thought everybody got sad.
Am I a bad girl?
Mommy, am I naughty?
Am I different?
Why don't they listen to me?
I'm not angry at myself.
It was only a mistake.
Mommy… tell me something, please.
Why do they try to comfort me
When I cry?
They don't do that to everybody else.
They're just cuts, Mommy.
Just scars.
Why don't they see that?
Why do they look at my wrists, Mommy?
I'm here too.

One by One

Children weeping underneath the stormy silver skies
Worries flood the universe and pour out from their eyes
Racing one another just to catch the dying sun
Leaving daisy pedals slowly falling, one by one.

Never mind the drops of rain that fall upon their heads
Demons in their memories long for the world instead
Once a little girl, and now a monster she's become
Why pick roses when its pedals fall off, one by one?

Something

Every moment, every thought, an echo in your mind
Every treasured lullaby you're forced to leave behind
Every broken moment, every twisted fantasy
Every empty shadow, every lonely melody
Holding knives against your skin with tears inside your eyes
Fighting back the happiness, yet fighting back the cries
How could one be joyous at a moment such as this?
Something could be stopping you, but nothing truly is…

Little Girl

Dear imagination, can't you be the thing you were
Butterflies and daffodils and happiness so pure
Sunny skies and lullabies and dreams of what could be
Hidden worlds and wonderlands of things they couldn't see
Shining gowns and silver crowns for dancing with the prince
Twirling with excitement, though the others weren't convinced

Dear intimidation, did you find it to be true
All I ever needed was an overdose of you
Silly stares and laughter slowly flood a child's mind
Making me abandon every daydream I could find
Lost beneath the shadows of the sky so dark and dead
Far too weak to turn around, yet scared of things ahead

Dear destr

Escape

Empty twisted promises within a world so dead
Memories of heartache cradle thoughts inside my head
Wounds continue bleeding on forgotten storybooks
Listen to your nightmares and the happiness they took
Can't you see the shadows with the knives inside their hands?
Watching you as they invade your secret wonderland
Silence won't protect you from the thoughts inside your mind
Nobody can save you from the torture on rewind
I can't see the people, but they're always seeing me
Anywhere and everywhere… they never let me be
Sometimes they stand quietly behind my bedroom door
Sometimes it's the microphones they hide under the floor
S

Judgmental StaresCommunication, dying, falling, fading into dust
Wishing I could tell them of the pain from their disgust
The hateful glares, judgmental stares, because they are all yet to learn
Ignoring the fact that making them hear is something I must earn
They disapprove of my disabilities, the things I cannot control
They treat me like I'm a monster, allowing the shadows to swallow me whole
If only they would realize that I'm not to blame nor hate…
Simply, I'm a victim, unable to communicate…

In a Little Girl's Mind

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

There sits the girl with the things in her eyes
Monsters, destruction, and sweet butterflies
Hopscotch and daisies, surrounded by screams
Beautiful dresses now torn at the seams
Crayons and paintbrushes, villains and grins
Young, gladsome innocence, hatred and sins
Little red houses on roads left to fade
Gorgeous moonlight shining off of the blade
Blood pouring out as she cries her own name
Knowing she's forced to take each bit of blame
She could have stopped it and left it behind
All of these things in her troubled young mind
She could have saved them if she dared to try
Rather, though, she left herself there to die.
Now, others watch as she sits on the ground
Keeping their distance and letting her drown
In her own worries and things she won't tell
Waiting for her mind to kill her as well…

I'll admit, I go through the "Literature" section and usually leave it thinking "meh"
But this one hooked me in, I wanted to keep reading because I wanted to know where you going with it. It's the fact that I wanted it to get "happier" but then... Well it didn't. I guess that's what makes writings good though right?

What I'm trying to say is, I like it. Lol

~InconsequentialPoet Apr 12, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Ahaha, yaayyy!!! Thank you so much!!!

That means a lot to me, honestly.
And yeah, I kinda fail at being happy XD
Thank you so much!!!
