Just for one night
Be Free
Get rid of the fear
Look yourself in the eye
And say it
Just say it
Like youve wanted to
for so (oh so) long
longer than you may be
able to remember.
Ablutions to the face
Taking the place of
the tears
That have been far too prevalent
As of late.
Walk out that front door
Dont let him scare you back inside
Because you know now
That youre more (so much more)
Matter has no place
to set the peripherals
to set the standards
to set the paramet
Parachutes
(youre alone)
Its that sort of feeling
That you can only see
And not touch
The characteristics
of Copper
in the night sky
Beauty seen, not felt
A low-lying moon
Beneath the haze of Jupiter
Its an interplanetary state of mind
And youre a star
my little angel
Youre a star In the night sky
Shining Glowing
A dream of daybreak
And here daybreak
Among giants The Gloaming
Your hands
And as I look back down the stairwell
The book you wrote about yourself
Speaks to me
Reminds me that I taste of sweet
And how we wish the day would go on forever
But the days grow cold, as the sun grows old
And now the moon is cast as the lead
My left hand seems to have forgotten
the eloquence
The words aren't pouring out anymore, not even close
Idolizing, patronizing, the dreamer I once was
A semi-sonic medicated digression (devolution)
from passion to intelligence.
The best friend I never knew
Is singing me a song
Accompanied by the æthereal calls
of the iron birds
and steel horses
as
There's a picture show in your eyes
That's got me on the edge of my seat
Giving me a look that says
Perfect
But I'm trembling in my own skin
Hesitant to take a stand in this thundershower
(Hesitant to synchronize our pulse)
It's a static-electric heart attack
Oh so beautifully lit
by La Bella Luna Mantún
Close your eyes
Jump
I have built an Empire
Atop the scrapheap
Between the bookends
Everything goes
according to plan
The trees are yellow
The skies are bland Electrical Tape
And there is no fear makes shapes on the walls
But fear of fire Cellophane residue
Here in my Empire at the top of the sky
It's quiet here Please knock
The rustle of the leaves Biohazard
The chill of the wind High Voltage
Down your spine Scared Child
A House With A View
Her eyes eased open to find the clock at her bedside, blurrily reading a blinking ten-something in the morning. She slowly sat up and leaned against the wall behind her, realizing that she did, in fact, sleep this night in this bed alone. It wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last. It's quite a view from that side of the half-broken, slightly overused queen bed. A beautifully constructed catastrophe of dirty mirrors, dirty windows, dirty walls, dirty floors, dirty sheets, a severe lack of any interior decorating skills whatsoever (or just a simple lack of caring, whichever you choose to blame it on), and a
There's a white wall
a white wall
Standing here, in front of me
Making sure that I can't see
Because I love my solidarity
It's a quiet room
a quiet room
And I've got it all to myself
No one 'round to ask for help
Not allowed to talk to someone else
I close my eyes and drift away
Into my pretty little sun
Open back up, and there's no telling
If a new day has begun
Better to stay asleep
And disregard the need to be
There's nothing else in here for me
Nothing else for me to see
There's a hole in the wall
a hole in the wall
Lettin
Back to before
We've gone
Feels so nice
Feels like home
Smile on your face
And the glimmer of your eyes
Out here
(in thesun)
Sound of your voice
Keeping me warm
Let's keep it this way
The day, not so gray anymore
Feels like home
Why don't you run to me?
Let me hold you in my arms,
And we could dance forever.
We could sit and watch the sun,
Learn about each other's hearts,
And look into each other's eyes.
All I can do right now,
Is sit and wait,
For you to return my calls,
Write back to me,
And fill the empty spaces,
That are so prevalent inside of me.
But you hide,
In your corners and boxes,
Away from me,
As though I'm going to hurt you.
But the only result,
Is you hurting me.
All I ask is for a dance,
One dance,
Just once,
And I can assure you,
That you'll never want to stop.
As she and I walk down the path,
Hand in hand,
My serenity blue shows through.
It's smooth and calm,
And peaceful yet enjoyable.
I wish she was here to stay,
For I wish to never forget my serenity blue.
Alas,
She is gone,
And my lost gray haunts me,
The gloomy shadows,
And the clouded skies,
Pull me into the lost gray.
I wish I never had to stay,
In the world of my lost gray.
But that day hath come,
When she has come home,
The lost gray shall not linger here,
For my lady has returned,
And the serenity blue filters through.
Life is a game,
And you don't know how to play.
You're just a piece on the board,
And you're just hoping,
That you'll win,
Using any means possible.
But you are just standing there,
Waiting for the decisions you aren't even making,
To be made and carried out.
You started with nothing,
But now you're starting to move.
Space by space,
You begin to understand how everything is working,
And why you are so small,
Compared to those leading your way,
They know more of the game then you may seem to ever know.
But it's your turn.
Every turn you make may be down a path where no one else may go,
You will make the move,
And find out wh
Shut the fuck up.
That's all I have to say,
To you,
To them,
To everyone.
What's your point?
It's still the same,
The same as it has been,
For a long time now.
You couldn't prove it then,
You can't prove it now,
So stop trying.
I'm sick and tired,
Of all of the screams,
All of the words,
All of the tears,
And all of this fucking hiding,
That I have to do,
To get away from this shit.
I numb my brain,
I blaze my music,
I turn on the TV,
And I write this shit on paper,
Then I sleep it off,
And I forget about it.
Besides,
At the end of it all,
After everyone leaves,
And I sit in my room,
Alone,
I think to myself,
Yo
And you left,
Just like that,
You didn't say goodbye.
I couldn't see your face,
Did you cry?
Did you scream?
Did you scowl?
Or did you just wait,
For the end,
Of the storm.
You left me empty,
And it only grew worse,
As the night drew on.
Your words,
Stuck me upon your leave,
And I couldn't get up,
From that fall.
The empty lingered,
And grew,
Within me.
It evolved,
Into remorse,
Sadness,
And guilt.
It's all my fault,
I know it is,
And I'm the one,
Who should be,
So,
So,
Sorry.
What ever happened,
To the romance?
The forbidden love,
The true feelings,
And the loyalty.
The Romeos,
And the Juliets,
And the need,
To be with a one and only.
It left.
It's gone.
He walked out the door,
And so did she,
The sad part is,
No one has heard from then since,
And no one seems to care.
I thought I had love,
The mirror was shattered,
Repeatedly.
I had never been,
To such a place,
It was barren,
And cold,
I could only sit,
And let it surround me.
He touched her,
And it seemed as though,
They never parted,
And never spoke.
It screamed at me,
Within my mind,
And I couldn't do anything about it.
I had ne
Sitting,
At the window,
Staring,
At the city,
Just looking,
For some inspiration.
The lights flicker,
The pipes drip,
And the floor creaks.
The cat's yawn,
The bird's chirp,
And the wind,
Won't leave him alone.
The sun went down,
The moon came up,
And the stars flew in.
Even as the night,
Flitted by him,
He felt nothing.
Finally,
The moon said his goodbye,
The stars left,
And the sun,
Was coming home.
The sunrise glowed,
With a phenomenal orange,
And the city looked beautiful.
After an entire day,
At the window,
He picked up his pencil,
And started to draw.
I woke up.
I'd done it before,
So many times before,
But this time,
For the first time,
It was different.
There was no fatigue,
No hunger,
No thirst,
And no pain,
Not anymore.
It wasn't the same,
The very world I live in,
Just wasn't the same,
And neither was I.
In the moment,
I was awakened,
Set ablaze,
And swirling,
Through the marvelous night sky.
I felt alive,
Invigorated,
And powerful.
My creator seems overjoyed about my existence,
And relaxes as he watches me,
He lets me grow,
And though I am glad,
I want more.
I run through the forest,
Leaving everything destroyed
And dead,
In the ashes.
I spread all over,
Until I am an inferno,
Of black,
Red,
And orange.
They call me fire.
For those of you who have not yet heard the news. or can't read.
I'm home.
Things are rather slow around here compared to what I've been living in for the past month. It's something of an opportunity to finish pieces on several mediums I had started in the past thirty days, along with books being and assignments getting done.
I got a facebook. I would like to say I've succumbed but I feel like it's something more along the lines of commitment to people I've met over that past month and want to keep in touch with so dearly. So I'm going with that. I'm keeping it kosher on some level, a very small number of applications, checking only once o
Hello.
I'm going away for a month to the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia to participate in the Governor's School for the Visual and Performing arts. I applied earlier at the beginning of the school year and after auditions, forms, and suspense on several levels; I seem to have made it into the program. I applied for dance, for those of you who don't know me on a face to face basis. It's rather exciting but I'm more concerned with whether or not I'll end up messing up or something of the like.
I'll be gone from after I post this Journal to the 28th of July, so, don't expect anything from me until then. Cell phones
I've been gone.
But I'm here now.
Ok.
I while ago, nesarcy (https://www.deviantart.com/nesarcy) asked me to do this and now I guess I'm finally getting around to it.
