Lay Claim
come catch me
I want to fall.
I feel weak and thin,
worn down.
I hurt,
and I just wish
to fall limp into your
arms.
I want to close my
eyes, and slip into the
abyss
of listless uncaring.
I want you to
carry me away to
a clean soft bed,
and let my
chill be chased
away.
I want you to
hum softly to me,
and warm my hands,
until I feel strong
and clean and
whole.
you are my rebirth,
and my master.
I ask now
that you preform your
duty,
and lay claim
to me.
I want to fall.

worn down.

Sway
You have no
sway over me.
Foul thing.
wither away and die.
I know you are nothing without
my wild mind,
without the blood and energy within
it, you cannot survive.
leave your pain and suffering
outside of this threshold,
for now I christen the archway
to my mind
in golden
faith.
I will hold strong in my heart
that I will not shatter,
and keep fast to the
knowledge that I am
unbreakable.
I will never yield to you again;
let my mind succumb
to the sick bitter
tide of remorse
and lost hope......
sway over me.
Foul thing.

Writhe--- Part I
Shove me down,
push me into the mud
again.
Over and over you taunt me.
You extend hope,
and I take it each
time,
no questions asked.
and each time...
I am pushed away.
Teased with an answer...
taunted with the promise of
an escape.
But you just take it away...
I have fought this battle
for far too long,
raising my fists
at this huge adversary
and pouring all of my energy to
taking it down.
into ripping it's black
heart from it's
writhing chest
to watch it's blood
spit from the wound
and seep...
push me into the mud
again.
Over and over you taunt me.
You extend hope,
and I take it each
time,
no questions asked.
and each time...
I am pushed away.
Teased with an answer...
taunted with the promise of

Woman...?
When I was little,
just a small girl,
when my family and I would be waiting in the
airport,
I would people watch.
I'd see them all drifting by,
some rushing to catch a flight,
others plugged in,
faces illuminated by the chill
light of cellphones.
I was fascinated by the women that I saw,
aghast at the sway of full hips, and the
round of breasts.
I looked ay my immature body,
and wondered how my bony
chest could ever
be soft and
rounded,
how my narrow
sharp hips could be smooth and
curved.

Sated
Last night...
we slipped away.
Into the dark we went,
hands wound together, our feet
whispering over the tile floor, quiet as doves.
we fell to the bed,
our lips pressed together,
our breathing frantic.
It had been far too long since we had
kissed, more than a light peck.
far too long since we
touched skin to skin.
We had been forced to spend days apart, and when we could meet,
it was in the eye of the public,
where we could hardly be
intimate.
But now,
in the dark,
you and I
had no boundaries.
We melded...
we slipped away.
Into the dark we went,
hands wound together, our feet
whispering over the tile floor, quiet as doves.
we fell to the bed,
our lips pressed together,
our breathing frantic.

Bells, Blade
We all fall. Tumble,
tumble,
Down into the pits.
Left to thrash in
our minds,
caught in the darkness that
boils there,
our descent breaking
the thin film over it.
We all succumb
to the demons dancing in our heads,
listen to their bells
and let them lull us to mania.
All of us have tasted the bittersweet
water of the devil's well,
and come back for more.
But once,
when we take up the blade of champions,
the wind of change blows valiant.
We fight,
slay those demons and their bells,
force the darkness down,...

Ghost
Don't get it.
You don't get it.
I'm so sorry.
but you don't get it.
What is happening in my heart.
You don't understand.
Countless have tried,
tried to break into the shell that
builds up around me now.
But don't damage it.
There is a reason it's there.
For, beneath it I am more tender
than I have ever been...
Because of this,
because of what happened,
My body is weak.
I cannot run, can't walk for very long,
can't jump much,
can't twist wrong,
can't
can't
can't.
There are thousands of things I can no...
You don't get it.
I'm so sorry.
but you don't get it.
What is happening in my heart.
You don't understand.
Countless have tried,
tried to break into the shell that

Who said it was safe?
Cover your eyes,
newborn bird.
Don't try yet,
to unfold your tender wings.
it is too soon,
there is danger out there.
Wind and rain and hail...
bitter angry words spat by those
who don't think before they speak.
For now, would you let me keep you,
tuck you close under my arm and
shield you from this cruel world?
Some say it is better to drown
newborn birds to hide them from harm.
but I refuse to push you away, like others have.
you are so dear to me...
you have shown me strength beyond comprehension,
shown me that fighting...

March
Beat, broken.
Colors, frayed.
March on boy.
Don't dare look back.
You miss me?
Bite me.
You were cruel and cold,
leaving me hollow after taking nearly everything.
So March you asshole.
Leave me be.
Don't dare cast your pretty eyes
on my tear-stained face.
Because you lost the right to look at me when you devoured my heart.
March boy.
March on, and don't dare look back.
I am stronger now, your abuse
turning me into a beast of beauty and passion.
now I stalk the night,
making them tremble...

tenderest...torture.
How you taunt me...
Light touch,
the flick of your tongue...
the sting of your teeth.
you murmur my name, as you take
the silk ribbons
and bind me.
Red..red...
like blood.
red...red..
like my lips.
candied and glossy they make a scarlet path
down your pale skin.
God look at you...
six feet...and then some.
muscle and bone bind together to create
someone exquisite.
Dark hair, and flashing blue fire in your eyes...
sharp white teeth,
sturdy, capable hands.
all of you,
every inch,
contained under my...
