Shadows of vivid silver
Punctuate the nights flow
Lingering by a river
That glistens in the snow
A sliver of a voice
Touches the frigid air
As need defines choice
And innocence begins to tear
Blood boils within the frame
As lust consumes the mind
With everything left to gain
With long looping strides
Silence becomes a thing
Movement within grace
Just as whispers sing
You pick up your pace
Shivers walk up your spine
As you freeze within its gaze
Hoping its not your time
Hoping its just some craze
It all melds into one
When the moon starts calling
The blood begins to run
Just as grace starts falling
Hearts entwine, two tangled as one
Sweet words drip off your tongue
Thats silver as the moonlit sky
I shiver as you touch my spine
A gasp as goose bumps mark my flesh
A love so young, tender and fresh
Lusting for an intimate touch
As heated skin becomes too much
And Demons come out to play
Within the gates I hope to stay
Clutching to heavens light
Loving the darkness of this night
Lying with my Silver Knight
The bed feels cold without you there
Your soft snores and ruffled hair
Smiling to myself I often stare
At the look of peace behind your eyes
Its always soothing by my side
When you leave dreams turn to lies
What was right now feels so wrong
Words and lyrics without a song
Minutes are hours as the day drags on
Until at last the time has come
I leave from work and head for home
The day is over and I cant help but moan
Until I reach the basement door
I see again the person I adore
Im eager for bed and their soft snores
Its the little things that rub you raw
The little things that fester and bleed
The little things that start to grow
From such a tiny seed
The roots sinking in deeper
The surface beginning to bow
Gently knocks the reaper
Taking what you sow
Wondrous worlds of ours... by dragondaughter, literature
Literature
Wondrous worlds of ours...
If I whispered in your ear of a place where imagination was the foundation of reality, would you want to visit? If the painting on the wall could stretch and sever its tenacious bonds to the canvas with a simple wisp of belief…Would you want to take a gander through the valleys of thought? Wondering through radiant ideas that have taken their first breaths…feeling the warmth of the suns rays beating down upon their tender flesh.
If there was a place where you only had to believe in things and they'd come true. The laws of the world would bend to your will. Faith being the only thing you need to make all your wishes and wildest dreams come tr
There's one part of being human
That's always to be alone
Alone in your head
Alone with your fears
Alone with your desires
And lengthy years
You can share a bit here, a bit there
You can answer someone else's prayers
You can even take the time to bare your soul
And let people know exactly how you feel
But there's always some part of you that will be alone
You may have found a loved one
Some one to be your other half
But even they can't be inside you all the time
And see the crisscrossing scars you have
Listen to yourself
Listen to your friends
But in the end
We are all left to fend
For ourselves
Alone in your mind
I'm tired of being strong
I'm tired of holding on
I'm tired of being your stone
For you to lean on
You come to me with your desperate needs
You show me your heart as it bleeds
But you won't let me be
Always whispering at me
Your devastation pulls me down
Back onto the ground
Holds me there, never to be found
Your blood mingles with mine
So wrapped up in your mind
Never seeing the pain you leave
Never letting me be
I can take a lot
I can take all you've got
I can take this onslaught
Leaving me distraught
Battered and bruised
I struggle to stand up
My wisdom refused
And you won't letup
The cuts constantly seep
Ey
Once there was love
In this hallow home
A place from above
Visiting in stone
Warmth for the heart
Shone through the walls
An energetic start
Cooling with fall
Innocent at first
A pleasant word
A stinging curse
It's all so absurd
You did something wrong
It's all your fault
Just stay strong
Little blood with salt
Swelling day by day
Darkest at night
Let it go away
It'll soon be right
Shiver with cold
As the winter grows
Smelling of mold
It comes from below
Rooms once full of light
Left in a candles glow
Flickering in fright
You reap what you sow
The demon comes
And you shrink inside
Anger that hums
It's time to de
Youth, it screams
A dying dream
Of what might have been
Hemorrhaging
Unforgiving
Your relinquishing
Turn away
Nothing to say
Your fears kept at bay
Never hear
Pain that sears
Wouldn't want to fear
Truth that binds
Our desperate times
All these crimson signs
When will we
Start to believe
In what we perceive
Destiny
Will never be
Until we can see
Today and not just tomorrow…
Slowly the snow fell on a world thats lost its luster
Ruins of what once was lie scattered like so much clutter
Walking down a forgotten path shadows drift closer
Icy fingers trace down my spine making me shudder
The past still lingers near, stepping ever so softly
Hope drifts like dust in the wind, leaving abruptly
One wrong step, snap a twig, and the demon awakes
A hinge creeks and I can't turn back, step through hells gates
Claws of despair wrap around me clutching me close
The end is near and even now I can see the ghost
Life slowly drifts out of this form as my eyes flutter shut
Finally a little peace, instead of this gnawing
Time cannot erase the pain inside, as I hide from this life and cry tears of blood. Blood is thicker than water they say or thinner than wine. Drugs, sex and alcohol pump this life through your veins.
Blood is thicker than water, but not as strong as wine.
Mothers leave daughters, fathers leave their sons, all the world is alone and we are all still as one. I can feel your pain, just as you can never guess at mine. The past never changed from day to day it pushes us on. Don't stumble now or you'll be left behind in this mud.
Blood is thicker than water or thinner than wine.
Covered in blood of wounds that still seep, never will they heal.
Suicides a choice
The only option
That's left open
And yet I'm still here
Running from my fears
Tortured by these years
With wounds that wont heal
Blood mixed with the tears
Love's proven a lie
Whishing I could die
But I wont be freed
Of my silent screams
For all eternity
Because I won't leave
Letting myself believe
That it's so simple
To just fade away
The battle within
Grows so tiresome
But I wont give you
The satisfaction
Of my destruction
I hurt, because I hurt you
And there's nothing that I can do
I'm losing myself and you
There's nothing left to hold onto
You slowly turn your back on me
You can no longer reach me
You say something's left my eyes
And all I can do is cry
Now the drugs are setting in
And these knives can't pierce my skin
Life is my only prison
Please, release me from these chains
No one can touch me anymore
I'm sorry that I've hurt you
Let me fade away tonight
Cut me free and let me go
So, I wont hurt you anymore
Childhood
Flowers, friends and beauty is how I saw innocently.
Stolen, years, fears added to me.
Past, present, future nothing left for me.
Fate, destiny, death is all that lies before me.
Pain, suffering, and sanity are all that lingers by me.
Why, where, how is all they ask of me.
Ripped, torn, waste is all that's left of me
Now, soon, tomorrow makes me cringe softly…
Tears, blood, agony is how they leave me.
Love, lust, lost in this world they left me.
Despair, desertion and desperation I find myself facing.
This world where they keep me, I ask my self sullenly.
"Where has all the flowers gone?"
Our troubled past haunts our daily lives
Influencing who we are today,
And how we act towards tomorrow.
It desperately claws at us,
Trying to drag us back down,
Into the black waters of its abyss.
And even when the surface appears calm
And our demons look at rest,
Chains bind us to this place
Leaving us teetering on the edge...
How long can we last?
Dreams die out as hope fades
Trapped within this endless maze
Living life through a fevered haze
Learning more useless trades
Hiding from your knowing gaze
Dashing towards the end of days
We talk about darkness we talk about shame~
We talk about loosing in this great game~
We talk about life and how we've never lived~
We talk about love and how much that did~
We talk about hope and the shade it becomes~
We talk about death with the fear soon to come~
We talk about pain and how we're so alone~
We talk about happiness that we've never known~
We talk about friends and how we use to be~
We talk about feelings that we can never see~
We talk about innocence and how long that lasts~
We talk about demons that live on in our past~
We talk to each other never saying a thing~
We talk about each other without lis
The Prophecy: (for the one who is chosen)
When there is nothing but winter night
You must find what's out of sight
To save us from our desperate plight
They'll call upon you to fight our fight
So let those know who wield the light
To join with those with darkness might
Only then can you set everything right
The Cry:
Good and evil both have might
Should I choose the dark or the light
Give me the answers so I can win this fight
With one so evil it freezes the night
With one so pure it's blind to our plight
Oh what shall I choose in this bleak winter night
The Answer:
Seek the answers in between, which has yet to be seen
Light a
Feelings are eternal despite what they say
They never really change or fade away
Memories lurking around every bend
You can't let yourself trust those you call 'friend'
Leaving you alone, struggles seeming vain
You can't reach them through your internal pain
Resist those whispers, make no finial choice
Stay with us, be heard, give yourself a voice
For there are those of us who share your fears
Silent or not no one can hide their tears
With our desperate cries we're linked together
Letting our songs be sung for those, forever
Poetry gets us through our darkest hour
Knowing others hear us gives us power
How could I do it all before
It was always so easy to find that door
Now as I strugle to find my lore
It seems I miss so much more
I stare at them blankly and they ignore
My stumbling stupor to find my store
It seems I'm twisted right down to my core
I can't seem to find who I was before
The path I walked isn't there anymore
PAINFUL MEMORIES
Ice that burns across my skin
Making me remember when
My curious pain so swift but mild
But I was only but a child
The memories scarred in my soul
Too young to know if I'd grow old
The future looked so very bleak
As tears rolled down my too young cheeks
I wondered why Mother had to go
How could she just up and leave me so?
No one now to call me dear
Nothing left but live with fear
I'm only just seven years old
Very timid, shy not bold
Mother left me all alone
Put me in this Orphans Home
Daddy left us that I know
But why did Mother have to go?
No fantasies for childhood growth
For now I've only lost them bo
Difference
That's all I ever saw
When I looked at you
So unlike my world
Yours was one of fancy cars
And a happy home
You were everything I hated
Because you had everything
That I ever wanted
Or so I thought
Somehow the barrier has broken
I see into your soul
And you seem to read mine
You have walked my road
You have been in the darkest places
And yet you face them with light
I don't know how it happened
And I'm so afraid of what it means
But you're a kindred soul
And I don't know what to say
It took all my courage
To speak the words
Of the secrets you've seen within me
And yet I know
That you will not judge
As you, t
Suicides a choice
The only option
That's left open
And yet I'm still here
Running from my fears
Tortured by these years
With wounds that wont heal
Blood mixed with the tears
Love's proven a lie

Of my silent screams
For all eternity

Of my destruction
I’m working on opening up and being honest with my life experiences. There are times when I’ve lashed out and hurt people but being curt with a response or especially sarcastic. People don’t deserve to have their feelings stomped on because I decided to vent some of the pent up anger and frustration. It wells up from a dark abyss that consumes the moral thoughts in my mind and turns the magma of hate at whomever happens to be within spitting distance. That being said I’m tired of being told my issues and problems don’t matter. The people I want to be open with don’t seem to be willing to see my experiences for what they are. That the things I’ve experience must not have been “that bad” because someone didn’t personally witness events. It’s amazing what a person can normalize. I was amazed having a sleepover in junior high that the persons family could sit down at a dinner table and not have it end up in a screaming match. The change from being an only child to suddenly being
Well...I've been liing and enjoying life. What more can I say? I moved away from home and found a person I enjoy spending every waking moment with. I find it's had a bit of n effect on my writting...for good or ill...I'll leve that to those who read it.
Life has been pretty good of late...and I'm happy with it. I hope to write a bit more, more often too. I've been hiding away for far too long.
Wishing you well!
So what's really bothering me…the fact that everything can change so easily or that I want him to fight more for it…maybe I'm just taking his easy going nature and turning it into passiveness…maybe I'm just over tired from lack of sleep and moody. (A very real possibility…) I just thought that if something happened I'd be reassured and not just told "if that's what you want…" I'm not sure what I want…I want to be happy…I want to know that you're happy…I want to do what's best for everyone involved.
How am I to know what to do if I don't know what you want…? I know what I want but will doing that m
