Waiting for a coach
and four
that never came,
she realized
a ball gown
won't bloom
out of sackloth;
glass slippers
are not dependable
and mice
are best left
to their own devices.
Midnight was never a friend,
and under that suit
he is the same as any other
man.

IcarusSun girl,

the whispering stars
& feathered clouds dance
for you tonight.

Do not let anyone
clip your wings;

you were made for the skies.

Definition of a Writerwrit•er

noun /rītər/

A writer is a person
Who sees the world differently
From a high perspective of understanding
To an easily balanced imagery

They stand at the edge of the cliff
And run that extra mile
To gain what a normal person cannot see
And to obtain the hope that they wish to cherish

A writer is a person
Who buries their ego and places boulders upon it
They learn the rules, follow the rules, and will break the rules
And make writing their own

They lay upon the dusty old ground of a graveyard
And do an annual ritual to free the inspiration that has been pinned down
They want to show their abnormality to everyone

Red DressDon’t put on your red dress
for he doesn’t know the meaning
he doesn’t want the commitment
he doesn’t care for the color.

The red dress you love to wear
that’s stained from wine and beer
but still carries so much meaning
for who could find a second red dress

Don’t go out on your red dress
for the man who wants nothing more
to screw around and doesn’t understand
the meaning behind a simple red dress.

A red dress for when you dance.
A red dress for when you cry.
A red dress for when you need it.
A red dress for when you care too much.

Don’t put on your red dress for him darling
he doesn&rsqu

moonshines in georgiaman on the moon:

giddy with lumps of north georgia seas
greased on the crease of my lips
gravity drips from couch-cavities
when tides belch from below --

burst on the water's edge,
earth's bourbon sailors retch in moonshined ripples
trickled blue murder on their crinkled crimes;
raking water wrinkles like a wayward drunk
stuck on sunken bootleggin' dreams.

it's been a long, long time
since I've drowned your hemisphere
for fishing like a moonraker,
swishing my bait-lines like tobacco's
squished in your shallow gums
before you dare to down my air
breathing in this sincere georgia night.

L.E.S.B.I.A.N.Living on the
Edge of life
Saving myself
Being who
I truly am
As it is all i can be
Never forget that

Broken Birds and Stark PhrasesWe slip and slide and fall
down curves and carrow places.
We cursive at the wall
in our undefinéd spaces.

Disjointed limbs extend
to strumpet our arrival,
to warn who are not friends
we will kill to survive all.

Hung upside-down haunters
hug branches in the Forrest.
Merry nightmare monsters,
Cheery snarling chorus,

Arachnic children know;
you can run but you can't hide
from this disparic truth,
darkness waits for you inside.

Although you seek the sun,
as all creaky spinsters might,
the night can't be out done
and it has you in its sight.

Missing piecesMissing pieces

There are wounds
that never heal; silences
so loud they thunder - I stopped
breathing years ago, that night
the ice took my chest. Since then
I walk in pieces, howling
around my heart.

Blame The ParentsI won't be able to keep a relationship in the future because I'm scared
I'm scared it'll turn out like theirs

I'm a pacifist because I hate watching it
I hate watching them fight

I have PTSD because of their fights
Their fights almost broke up this family

I self harm because they are pushing me over the edge
I was already close to jumping, but they gave me an extra push

I'm always in my room because that's how I run away
I guess that's called "Like father, like daughter"

I only eat one meal a day because he constantly puts me down
Even though he's joking, I can tell he means every bit of what he says

I can't trust anyone because they do

field notesi read some poetry
just for the sound--for the words lilting up and down
and the thick, honeysepia
polaroids unmisting in my head.
those are the poems i never understand
and the only conclusion i can draw is:
there is apparently
some supernova poetic awakening that comes
with the loss of virginity
and basically i need to get laid.

MorningA black cat sleeps in a ray of sun
My coffee is lousy
Another cardboard morning
The day isn't a blank canvas
Waiting to be painted
Its already scrawled with
Yesterday's mad crayon drawings

Smoke drifts up and out of the window
I drink the coffee

The PoetFor the work of a Poet to be truly appreciated
he must write it with his own blood and tears for ink
his soul the sharpened quill to nail the words
like so many specimen of unwilling insects upon the paper.

And once he has bled out
becoming the cause of his own demise
the reader is left behind to digest his soul
so plainly trapped within a cage of words
his requiem written as a love song to his Muse.

that's what we see of God's plan.
just the knots. when in reality,
it's the design on top;
beautiful and flawless that He
has in store for us.

Monday, Erased and Re-WrittenDawn broke brittle Monday morning, the sky cracked like eggs
(All done in silence beneath the roaring of my tinnitus)
Twenty 'til something and I'm driving out into blazing light
Looking for what, I won't know 'til its found but its
Just so damned bright and quiet and I think of a sniper in the clock tower
Fallen asleep waiting to pick off his targets but how can he sleep
in this goddamned brightness and nothings moving anywhere
Empty streets, has the world called in sick this morning?

Am I awake? Am I alive? Am I in a movie, maybe a character
in someone's book? Why don't I feel anything? Am I waiting for
the writer to tell me how I feel,

Grey Lies

I am human.
I need to be loved.
I love to be needed.

***

I love your soft, sweet gestures that whisper your unspoken words.

Lingering glances that say, "I want you."
Constant touches that say, "I need you."
Kisses that say, "I love you."

Your body has always spoken to me, you know?
It speaks volumes to your every word.
You never have to speak, because i can always tell
Exactly what you mean to say.

I'm aware that when you glance at me,
You're simply trying to tell me you want me.

I'm sure that when you touch me,
You're just much too embarrassed to say you need me…

I'm positive that when you kiss me,
You mean to say you love me…
That is… these are true in my meticulously re-designed world.

My world, i think, is imaginary,
A world constructed by me.

A world of stories i write to tell myself, when my heart is hurting the worst.
A novel of odes i whisper to myself, when my soul is bleeding the most.

They're lies.
That's all.
To comfort my soul.
They're lies i tell myself.

Little grey lies
That hurt no one.

No one, but me,
In the end.

ouch! that's a tough ending... I really love your writing and brutal honesty.
you shouldn't be so hard on yourself ... remember what you said in the beginning.

I am human.
I need to be loved.
I love to be needed.

Lovely!!

~JustSing2Me Jun 5, 2010

Thanks so much.
You'll be relieved to know that this is actually a writing exercise.
My friend gave me the topic, and i wrote.

This is really the first time i've ever written a poem like this, and it was definitely an experience.

But, thanks

~StickANeedleInMyEye Jun 5, 2010

oh.. good news whew!!
I think you're a good writer. I hope you continue to write both poems and prose.

~JustSing2Me Jun 7, 2010

thankss!
ive been writing a lot lately!
but, i've kinda gotten stuck in this rhyming funk, and i don't like it one bit. blehh....

~StickANeedleInMyEye Jun 8, 2010

np.. but frankly I like your rhymes.. they're good, getting better.

hahaha..I'm laughing with you because I get stuck like that so I know how you feel.. except my rhymes just really suck and I know it - haha!! so I'll write 'insanity prose' or verses of prose that aren't fluent or understandable except by me usually cause they're excerpts from my day or week.. whatever. they're a fun to write.. but not easy(at least not for me anw).

ever write a 'part' of a story? it's like 2(or more) people write one story based loosely on some idea? each writes their part then they're combined. the result is usually hilarious, brilliant or simply awful - but a lot of fun.
-or- maybe just write a short story for fun .. like being invisible for a day.

lemme know if your interested in playing along and writing a 'part'.

That sounds like an awesome idea!
I would love to!

And, i actually tried my hand at short story fiction towards the beginning of this year.

I have this blog on www.tumblr.com that a lot of my friends at school also have (to keep in contact with one another and such), and one friend posted a something called "If We Were in a Horror Movie," where she typed like three paragraphs on this topic that involved she and i and a few of our mutual friends.

We went back and forth and it eventually turned into a horror movie script that i was writing for her entertainment.

It wasnt something that i would normally write about so it was a great exercise for me! And, I actually ended up enjoying it! I really should finish that up sometime this summer....

She absolutely loved what i'd written, so i'm sure she'd be elated to see it completed. Haha
