POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
So What's Next?
Laying in bed I can't help but think
"What if life is deeper than it seems?"
The books they say are non fiction
What if they are our reality?
They always said to "write what you know!"
What if all you know is a tragedy?
Monsters under the bed,
Who's to say they're just a nightmare ripping at your sheets?
Fairies dancing 'round your head
Who's to say it's just an imaginary friend?
TV, technology, books, commercials, everything
What if it's just there to hide what is real?
Why can't we see what's...

Mysteries of the Forgotten...
Intro
The Forgotten, that’s exactly what we were. After all in some sense aren’t we all? Just someone lost in the crowd, hidden by all the other thousands of faces. We believed it was better to be invisible and out of the way then noticed and possibly remembered for the worst of things. We were easily forgotten…perhaps too easy…
The name is Rose, Rose Alice Night to be in fact. Personally I cannot say much for myself, just pretty much average. Well at least enough to blend, just the way I like it. I always kept my hair long and dark, good for hiding in most situations....

Rainbow of Death
Red for the blood spilling from your wrists
Orange for the cation sign you missed
Yellow for the bruises you left
Green for the embalming fluid once your dead
Blue for the veins empty and hallow
Purple for your clawing finger tips
Pink for deadly blushing cheeks
The Rainbow of death
From pink to red
The colors of the end
Ones to knock you to your knees
Weather one or all colors you receive
By the end there is no you and me...

The Wonder Before Alice-Part One: Love Is No Game
Hair dark as night
Eyes like the moon light
Decked in a checkered dress
Hoping the ball won’t be a mess
Stepping cleverly into his carriage
Unaware this very night leads to a marriage
Nervous of meeting the princess of chess
To his parents he must confess
Quickly painting my nails red
Remembering all the tears she bled
Pacing in from wall to wall
Waiting for the maids’ call
Approaching the castle gate
Breathing in possible dark fate
As the squire shouts...

Alice Without a Hatter
There’s still a rabbit whiter then ever
A queen of pure red still rains in power
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum still have free run
And tea time is still fun
Though Alice has no Hatter
No one there when something’s the matter
Wonderland is still oh so grand
Maybe better then when the hatter held her hand
Yet Alice knows something is missing
And suddenly her readers are hissing..
Though she’s at default for the leaving of the Hatter
She truly misses their laughter
So for now its Alice without a Hatter
And her head...
A queen of pure red still rains in power
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum still have free run
And tea time is still fun
Though Alice has no Hatter

Yet Alice knows something is missing
And suddenly her readers are hissing..
Though she’s at default for the leaving of the Hatter
She truly misses their laughter
So for now its Alice without a Hatter

From Darkness to the Light
Sitting alone with no one around
Then suddenly my head began to pound
In pain I tangled my fingers in my hair
I figured no one would even care
Tears began to pour
As something creaked across the floor
Then you leapt from the dark to my side
You pulled me into your arms to hide
Sheltered there I felt safe and sound
I knew you’d protect from everything around
You stroked my head and kissed my hair
I thought ‘maybe she did care..’
You pull me in tighter
And I feel my tears get lighter
You said it was...

Blood in a Box..(so hate this poem-_-)
Blood poor from your fingers
You haven't a clue why
Shaking as it puddles up on the floor
You see something rise from the blood
A box that wasn't truely a box
With silver sides and a black scorched lid
A stone on the top just big enough to fit
Moons and stars cover the top
You reach for it hoping to take grasp
It doesn't slip
Pull it close maybe it'll stop the nonsense
Close your eyes and rub the gem
Count to ten then open your eyes
Now others nothing where blood once lied
To scared to open the box...

Not Just A Hug..
A hug that wasn’t just a hug
One that lasted almost forever
As if time had frozen
In those few seconds
As my toes rose from the ground
I felt like I was flying
Soaring…with my feet
Inches above the ground
My face buried in your neck
As you continued to turn
I wonder if you noticed
The world as it froze
Maybe the people just stop and stared
If any of them were to care
3 months we had missed one another
Torn from each other
Now we had a chance
This moment was worth the wait
Time...

One Last Kiss..
I watched your eyes
as the peered on me the whole time
I'd look away
take a chance go for something else
Watch you paint on that fake smile
know your "new happiness" wasn't happy
Just a show you wish me to see
but deep down you know
You cry yourself to sleep
thinking how you messed up
Remember all you ruined
and the pain inflicted
Secretly flip a blade over your knuckles
missing its trace on your skin
You wish for one more chance
one more kiss
Though it won't happen again
you...

Reality is Back
Dark and silent
As the teacher talked on
Rest your head for a minute
You deserve a nap
A rough day and a rough night
Just close your eyes
Fall into your head
For get the world and all the rest
As her words trudge threw your head
Gentle and sweet
Kiss the good dream goodbye
Nothing is never as good as it seems
Its always weaved with a lie
Where a wall once stood
Hands grasp your arm
Pushing and pulling
No way to be freed
Till finally their fingers slip
You almost smack the...

Bang! Pow! Zoom! Straight to the Moon
Bang! Pow! Zoom!
Straight to the Moon..
With Earth to my back
Tho it’s air I lack
Stars shine bright up ahead
Then I realize I’m dead
A girl has no need for air
As long as she gets there
Stitches and scars are a must
Cause life isn’t just
No need for air
Or wind blowing threw your hair
Bang! Pow! Zoom!
Straight to the Moon
No chance of a fall
Cause girl you know soon you’ll have it all
No ring on any finger
No downing thoughts that linger
Just take my hand
I say this with...

Pandora's Box
Blasting music loud
Though you never heard a sound
Screams in the dark
Scars that never left a mark
Full of hearts and hope
No way to cope
In Pandora’s Box it seems like hell
When in fact it’s all good and well
With shadows hidden in dark corners
And guardian angels protecting the mourners
So don’t run and don’t hide
‘Cause here there’s always an angel by your side
Weather to the left or the right
Pandora’s Box holds you tight
To your words and your fears
It captures all your tears
When you...
