A quiet knock sounds,
I peer outside,
A beggar amongst hounds.
“Please, I need help!” The old woman cried.
Against my better judgement I let her inside.
From her cloak she unwrapped a child.
Between the coo and smiles
Of the newborn child,
The woman pressed her hand to her chest.
Blood leaked from her wounds that nearly invisible.
To her cut I pressed a cloth, trying my best.
But no matter how ...
Sometimes I believe I’m the main character,
Sometimes I feel like the comedic relief.
That is, until I realize everyone has individual lives.
Lives that don’t revolve around me.
Sometimes I believe they are free,
Free from the constraints of society.
But that in itself is a stupid thought.
No matter how hard I fight, I’m always in a different tense, fought.
I’m not current,
I’m the past.
I’m the ...
Sometimes the monster we look for isn’t on the outside.
Sometimes the innocence we see in the mirror is a facade.
Sometimes the path we trod,
Is full of glass and sharp nails.
Sometimes the one behind the gun hides behind veils.
But, Sometimes that monster?
Is confusing, not even another person.
Its inside of us, the ones who start the fire, the cause of arson.
People spend years looking for the...
Blood runs thicker than water,
Until it doesn’t.
Until family turns, they’re missing a daughter
Serving cereal to the rich,
You find out they threw her body in the ditch.
Dialing the numbers into the phone,
A shadowy figure appears
“You’re not going home”
The son.
The murderer.
Cold spikes through your veins, fear.
Something hits your head
“Night night, time for bed”
Your vision goes dark and yo...
In the sunny field where I reside
Two realities collide.
One of unconsciousness,
One awake,
How am I to choose a place?
The smell of lotus flowers fill my nose,
Shade rains down on me, like a cool hose,
The tree that my back is propped up on is no longer prickly,
I no longer feel sickly.
My body is deprived of sleep,
Now the senses I take in weep,
As I try to cross the border into dreams.
Just ...
One with no arm,
One with no head,
As the magic maniacs get ready for bed,
Lights are shut off,
In our large suite,
However lonely we are not, we cannot produce any beautiful feats.
The rest of our kind,
Can slay with a thought, or even fly.
Us? Mere parlor tricks,
We try and try but there is no fix.
We are different and special, in our own way,
Just like the prehistoric fae.
Their magic was l...
What is the secret of Anne McPuoud?
Well rumor has it that she skipped town.
She and her prom queen crown.
I hated that girl,
She made me hurl,
From the horrible stench
Of her ego.
What happened?
No one knows, no one cares
Just like looking at one out of a head of hair.
Well I did it
And it did it well.
I couldn’t shake the story from my lips
As my important speech came forward I said this.
...
BOOM!
As the tree of love fell to the ground,
My heart tucked far away in my chest, nowhere to be found.
The leaves of romance and other relations
Fell
Like the land of war torn nations.
However, out of the dead, beauty can be found.
Flowers grow from the depths of the tree,
Moss covered roots whisper in glee.
The music and magic of the forest is all around,
Like a voice
An unstoppable choice.
...
I didn’t know what else to do. He hurt me and broke my heart again and again and again. It started with a mild push, but as we all know, push turns to shove out of nowhere. He was going to kill me. He wouldn’t let off my throat. I pulled a knife from the rack and stabbed him before my vision went back. I woke up and his dead body was draped over mine. I screamed and panicked and knew I would go to...
