a ratio of freckles to starsvirginia,

you are floating away in
every direction:

a universe
of sunlight & marrow bones
i want to know

your touch
had vertigo then--
a certain horse sadness

i remember how you
would swallow the stars:
watch them glow through your cheeks

(no one told you
what they thought of light & dying
of being a constellation
drawn across your face)

you are the milky way:
a firefly drowning

but i will trail you--
hold your coat above the water

(a star
exploding a million miles away
with a number for a name)

This is my girlfriend.This is my girlfriend.
I found her all on my own.
She’s little,
And broken.
But still good.
Yeah,
Still good.

cool breeze across sultry skinorange morning
riverside
in the wind
reeds bend
like backs
yours arches
like a bridge
in my breath
and my two lips cross
your soft skin connection
to reach the end
the heartland
open and waiting for me

There isThere is;

Joy in your laughter, music in your voice
Dance in your step, confidence in your stride
Pride in your heart, tranquility in your mind
Sweetness in your smile, fierceness in your eyes
Comfort in your presence, tenderness in your embrace

Nothing quite compares

CountermelodiesWhen it begins,
it’s like discovering
the decadence of music.
Perhaps your breath hitches
on the cello carrying the countermelody.
It reminds you of their voice,
as they warm spices in the kitchen
and you’d wrap your arms around them from behind,
like the horns come up from under
and saturate the harmony.
Their body feels familiar in all different ways,
a second listen granted to a beautiful movement.

You can’t tell them you repeat
the first song they showed you
because it smells like their skin
If you listen close enough.
And they can’t tell you that
they try to harmonize with your
speaking voice on the phone

Dancing with the Fairies EnglandxReader

Emerald leaves, orange light,
Swaying bluebells, pink clouds,
Rustling trees, calling birds,
In the stillness of the forest.

We wandered from the gravel path,
Careful where we trod,
Not to crush the innocent flowers,
That tinted a fine fragrance.

Past the great oak,
Beyond the pine and beech,
Our fingers entwined together,
My hand locked safely in his.

Great gorges and steep cliffs,
We passed before an opening,
Where light shone through gracefully,
Catching on mysterious forms.

The rosebay willowherb seeds
Floated and waltzed effortlessly
Through the air and caugh

A Lack of EloquenceYou told me you wanted to be a writer someday
And I couldn't help but wonder if you'd ever written about me
I went home and tried to write something beautiful about you
But I couldn't find the words
I don't know how to describe the kindness in your eyes
Or the way your voice sends shivers down my spine
Or how you linger in my dreams at night
No matter how I string my words together
They never quite seem to do you justice
You must forgive me for my lack of eloquence
And understand all the things I'm trying to tell you
When at last, for all my trying, the only words I have are these:
"I love you, I love you, I love you"

You are a bittersweet beauty with hips that lie.Do I crave you because I crave a intense muse?

Poetry flows from my lips.

My heart bruises,

soul feels ripped.

I still want you.

I don’t need you.

I want you.

I want your flesh upon mine.

Whiskey lips and hips that don’t lie.

Bone against bone.

My body is my home.

Experience the bittersweet beauty.

BeautySmiling into the sunshine I go,
the warm rays on my face as I walk.
The world around me is vibrant,
every color rushing to meet my gaze.
The world seems as if it is waiting for me,
opening its beauty to my eyes.
A drop of water touches my face,
from the sky they fall,
bringing out new color and life.
I sit in the rain as around me it falls.
I would try to find the most beautiful things,
but you are the most beautiful thing of all.

It hurtIt hurt you know,
Falling for you.

I felt very bump and bang,
Every bruise and break.
I tried to hold on,
I tried to slow down,
I tried to stop.
But it was inevitable.
Gravity was too much,
It kept pulling me down
To you.

And when I landed,
When I hit the ground
At your feet
I could barely breathe.
It was too much
For anyone to handle
Let alone me.

But I watched you reach down,
And felt you pick me up.
You gathered together
All my broken pieces
And worked for days
Making me whole again.

It took time
But I finally realised
That for me to fall down to you
Meant that you
Had fallen too.

So once I was rebuilt
I searched for your missing p

Eternal LoveI never thought this day would come so soon.
And yet I always knew it was to come.
For we are nothing but another side of each other.
For all those years we were two sides of a single coin,
Spinning round and round but never facing one another, never meeting.
But those days have passed. We have joined in more ways than one.
And now we complete each other, black and white, white and black…
Different but the same. We will always continue to fly under the same sky.
Together. Nothing else matters but the connection we share.
This connection which binds us, it runs through our veins, through our blood, long before we ever met.
Eternal. Like the symbols that matched our colours and understood our souls.

let's play pretendplease hold me close and keep your eyes shut
i'll become the girl who broke your heart
and you'll be the boy who broke mine

ThiefCant you see she's a thief?
She stole your heart
And your breath
Now she's stealing your last name.

Happy Birthday Fox!Every moment spent with you,
Everything which we once knew,
Is now melting into the past,
You and I, our futures last.

Together our souls burn bright,
Like a hearth and candlelight,
Late night talks or daylight hours,
Poems about us, or poems about flowers,

Though we are so far apart.
You are forever engraved in my heart,
Each passing second with you,
Is worth a lifetime to me.

Eternity.Love.
There aren’t any words that can explain our love.
You smiles with your eyes,
You brighten the world with your laugh,
This love sparkles brighter than the moon,
And the burning sun.
You lights the darkness
You stand out from the flock.
Every kiss is the softest touch,
This love is a soft beauty.
The thought of knowing you are mine
Is like a time of magic
The night we met was endless magic
Dancing in the moonlight is a magical moment
That I always forever cherish
I will love you till infinity ends
Like ying and yang, you and me
Eternity

US Army, stationed overseas,
my only home, my memories.
Looking back I, try to forget,
what we had been, we ever met.
Problem is, remembering is charm,
story is, reliving its harm.
My life has dealt many cards of grief,
from which I cannot seem to find relief.
How do you cope, when your dreams become steel,
how do you live, when apathy is real.
Uncomfortably numb, lost emotion,
improbably empty, no tears begin.
Everything seems so, illusionary,
undeniably my world fades away.

Come Apart -salute to a pic-Like an orange tossed aside after being drained of juice I lay
Crushed flat and tattered, the sweet stuff of life far gone
I was once light and spirit personified now I have no inner glow
My eyes of sapphire now dark shadows too deep for the dawn

I opened up the well of my spirit to all who sought me
I discovered too late that people could take without restoring
Teaspoon to acquaintances, a bucket to friends, pools to lovers
tap upon tap until the well tipped and I lay pouring

Now I lay here, exhausted and captive to my own shell
all emotion exhausted and all desire deflated
hoping for someone to find my husk and return heart to me

Time to HealWhen you left me I cried,
and tried to forget,
What we had shared together,
or that we had ever met.

I built strong walls around me,
to protect me from the pain,
pretended I\'d never seen or kissed you,
and never heard your name.

But when I passed you,
in the street today.
it brought back memories,
that I had pushed away.

My walls collapsed,
the pain returned,
now I now that,
I have much yet to learn.

Shouldn\'t try to forget you,
instead just try to go on,
and after a while the hurt,
won\'t be quite so strong.

Absense of EverythingFlashing lights on rainy glass,
shattering through to my heart,
pulselike beams of strife and hurt.
Shards of emotion,
crystalline patterns of disillusion,
slicing through my soul.
The fury of sound, the racing of thought,
tell me the relativity of a shattered heart.
Imagination ripped away,
leaving only the endless void of my mind.
Apathy enveloping, nonchalance developing,
death of dreams, bleeding screams.
Standing at the edge of infinity,
seeing the end of eternity.
Solar fire engulfs the night,
It falls not uttering a cry,
but fading with forlorn sigh.

ConnectCan you hear me, for I am the scream behind this screen.
Searching for reality, lost amongst the dream.
I seek you, in a world of others, found through lines of force,
A normal relationship, running a virtual course.
Routed to your perfection, switched to your soul.
Internetworked to your fantasy, connection my only goal.

Yes, I can hear you, a voice from distant past-
Running through my memory, catching up at last.
The seeker and the sought after overcome futility,
Connect to send and recieve, to make the dream reality.
Though time detained the signal, and we\'ve paid the painful cost,
It has met it\'s destination, and now n

The ValkyrieEncased in steel I stand, guarding the walls of my soul,
a knight in dulled armour, emptiness is my only goal.
I wear a flaming sword, created in the forges of pain,
enpowered by the memories, I will never face again.

Standing on the tower, built of flawless steel,
surveying my twisted realm, wondering what is real.
Am I or am I merely a spector, like the ghastly figures of light,
on the plains around me, locked in my eternal work of night.

I feel something close to pity, for the denizens of my land,
for each of them were created, by the sword in my hand.
Some for their love, some for their ha

Loss of Fantasy

by ~kylere, May 8, 2003, 7:53:16 AM
Literature / Poetry / Romantic / General / Free Verse

Fighting the loss of fantasy,
Pushing myself into sleep.
Wishing the sun would never rise,
It comes and I begin to weep.
Dancing through the dreams,
Defending the fading tatters.
Each representing happiness,
Trying to find the one that matters.
Crystalline like a shattered mirror,
Each shard darkening to coal.
Flying away upon the wind,
As the sun begins piecing my soul.
The warm light envelops me,
And away the illusion sold.
Disintegrating into dust,
Like a vampire of old.
I catch a momentary glimpse,
From the corner of my eye.
One aura covered fragment,
As it quickly passes by.
Tearing me across half the world,
Reality begins ripping me apart.
I stand with only a memory,
And the sure beating of my heart.
Looking hard I see a golden cord,
Love connecting across the miles.
Bringing to me, the smell of her hair,
And the angelic brilliance of her smiles.
Remembering the brush of her lips,
I cry out for the beauty of her name.
Can still feel her touch upon me,
Realizing nothing will be the same.
For I know in the future,
In the very mists of memory.
That all will coalesce,
Bringing her back to me.
