Beauty and the Beast

Who is to determine ones beauty?

What is Beauty?

Beauty is simple,

Its the DNA used to create a life,

Sometimes beauty is ugly,

And sometimes it is pretty,

By this in no way do I compare to looks,

It's not the shape of your body,

It's not the shape of your nose,

It's not the shape of your smile,

It's not the shape of your eyes,

It's not the color of your hair,

O...

Thirsty For Love

Blood

The taste or iron
lingered on my lips 
Hot cherry red 
Dripping down my chin
Your neck pierced 
By my sharpened daggers
Called fangs
They dripped a mixture 
Of blood and venom
Your taste on my tongue
Made it hard to stop 
Extracting that sweet
Warm body fluid
I kissed your neck
As I watched you 
Change into one of us
A predator 
You were ...

Fall

The leaves fall

Tumbling to the ground

Each branch of the tree

Getting bare and brittle

Some leaves fall straight down

Some leaves get carried by the wind

I sit and watch

Each leaf on an adventure

Some broken

Some cracked

Some gone from view

Each one leaving a memory

On the big tree

That is now nude

And pure

My heart was once pure

And covered in a ge...

Mirror

You look me up and down as if I am a nobody.

Just a shadow in your way or just a memory in your past.

What you didn't realize is I was looking through you in the same way.

Self-Destruction

My hands rest gently amungst your chest as we lay in this forbidden place.

I can see the dark figures surrrounding us, forcing us closer than ever before.

What do they want from us, or which one of us do they want?

Piercing red eyes filled the little room suffocating our little space that was once happy.

Terrified I hold onto your body with no intention to let go of my security blanket...

If The World Was Going To End

If the world was going to end,
And all life was going to bend,
Then I know what I would do,
And It involves me and you.
 
Jack is first to arrive,
Then some Yeager to survive,
Whiskey's next on the list,
And captain Morgan won't be missed.
 
We drink and slurp all night long,
Because there is nothing left to go wrong,
We walk down the empty road,
Talking in o...

Isolated

Your touch still lingers on my skin like the warm yet cold breeze of the wind,

 

Your kiss heavy leaves an imprint on my lips like the moist rain that steadily drips,

 

Your laugh still gives me the bees in my gut like hiding from the storm in that little hut,

 

Your body close to mine in a gentle embrace like the love surrounding our little space,

 

Your voice calming an...

Forsaken Love

Prince Charming  a soul meant to roam my heart,
 
A deadly man with a poisoned dart,
 
The breath of a gentle kiss, 
 
Or the meaning of this eternal bliss,
 
The one who walked right into my life, 
 
Taking my heart with a knife,
 
Who knows what there is to behold, 
 
But this love is not to be sold, 
 
Take it wisely as you run, 
 
And bring...

Eternity

Her thoughts were irrational as she paced back and fourth down the hall,

She felt her mind and body start to build an emotional stone wall,

Her head ached in pain that she could not escape,

She was stuck in this emotional enraged mind rape,

Her body sunk into her soul as her eyes turned black,

She felt herself letting go and slipping into an invisable crack,

Her heart became life...

Cold Nights

Cold nights,
 
Desperate halls,
 
Filled with old pictures on the walls,
 
Empty rooms,
 
Broken hearts,
 
Casualties forced apart,
 
Silent whispers,
 
Ice cold tears, 
 
Looking at what you've become in the mirror,
 
All the aching past dreams still withstood, 
 
But even still your misunderstood.

Silence

The green grass dies beneath her feet, 
 
As she holds in her cry to a settle weep, 
 
Her heart gets taken by her big black sole,
 
As her eyes change color black as coal,
 
The wind howls across the sky, 
 
As her past was all a white lie, 
 
The trees turn grey with the fading sun, 
 
And she knew then all was done, 
 
The time moved slow as the c...

Flame

Broken, battered, shattered, bruised, everything to abused. 
A faint, quiet, steady, pulse, with nothing left but remorse.
The blood hot, burning, boiling, in her veins, left nothing else to explain. 
Her heart was fried and almost gone, until he came along and fixed what was wrong. 
With a little tape, love, and compassion, that old heart would have an allergic reaction. 
Now it be...
