-
As I followed his enlightening gift
And I pretended I could fly.
-
Of which you dream and dwell—
Though I’ll never bleed for you
-
A red moon in my sky,
Like salty tears in my eyes;
-
The empty halls
Reflect memory
-
In the fiery depths of your arms,
I rest in ashes;
-
I wasn’t going to give him sign of fear,
For my little body, he’d devour
-
Dark clouds engulf me; Like the maple’s falling death upon my solemn gaze; I see his cold, whispering breath—
-
When I can surely have it all,
His lips, his smile, and our Fall
-
He knows not of roses
But of the purest of hearts,
-
But I smiled so no one could have known
That my teacher took advantage of me
-
Leaving a trail of tears—a stream
Of sadness silenced in hush.
-
And in the hollow of your bellows
I hear conformity
-
The horrid truth of lies—
The eyes of thine were a toy
-
You see, what no one sees;
The beauty of life; And the forest for the trees
-

‘Til the End of Forever
-Jasmine Davis
-
We’ll make love by firelight,
Be drenched in sweat—
-
-
And his name was that of Misery.
-
But if I were to fall; To crumble to my death,
Would my descent be heard?
-
From the shadows of black
Come forth the whispers—
-
Flirting over and over again—
For Death, I have no contest.
-
I carefully stepped outside
For the first time today,
-
Remember now? Child…my sweet?
When I vowed to you, we’d meet?
-
Your scent and your wizened words;
For old—new will never replace
-
They light up the sky
Like a razor’s solemn edge
-
Words that make them laugh
And words to make them weep
-
I stared into his eyes
But I saw nothing,
-
Strawberry gashes--
Topped with a little Gothic Romance
-
Even when the Men in White
See everything we do
-
Overpowered, they stand and stare
Behind the lying mirror’s glare,
-
Like a glass of red wine—
The fallen sun’s final rays;
-
She stares blankly
Up at the starlit sky
-
His eyes—they mesmerize me
Locking me in
-
And these lips that I tenderly kiss
Are as burnt as the brittle leaves
