Spring Flowers on the Rise
I'm falling for you in the worst sense.
Taking a fall for my weaknesses while
Velocity rips my molecules apart and
The chill--perverse--of rushing air numbs my skin.
Turns it to tingling pinpricks, iced and
Rubbed to a rug burn sting.
I can't stand for the weight of the air
I can't breathe for its thickness
I can't swallow;it's too dry up this high,
And the whole world's a--nauseous--kaleidoscope night.
I'm doing nosedives and back-flips through
Infrared oceans, the whole house rocking
Beneath my sea legs shaking, like anew
Fawn trips--betrayed--up the green hills of youth
Spring flowers on the rise--corrupt--spreading so
Ala
Stop and see this proud old building
Of bricks with edges fading
Where vivid ghosts greet age old hosts
As ladies, glowing, are spinning.
The jolting clink of crystal rings,
And laughter froths across the floor,
To rise with patterned strains of strings
And the heartbeat of couples dancing.
The boys stand starched with pride and care,
The women winning smiles are flashing
That float and light the thick night air
Like sunshine dripping here and there.
With clockwork step and silken dress
They march in dizzy circles,
That find them less in dawn's caress
As it catches in your tresses.
Hopes they burst in champagne bubbles,
And
This is me coming out to you,
Because all the guilt and the shame that
I expected to rest against breasts and
Bead up on girls' lips
Was just my own muddled paranoia.
So I can stand in front of you
Tell you what it is that I've been thinking,
Watch congratulations billow
And your eyes widen just a little,
And I can feel the real relief
As the little ghosts of guilt and shame
Never show themselves at all.
Because I wear the armor,
And I hold the sword,
And in the honest morning light
Which glitters on my silver breastplate
And dances on my hair, I know
I'll never need a man to hold me.
And in the softly falling midnight
Wi
In another universe,
We could have fallen in love.
One where I took risks, and
Dove head-first into the sea.
One where skies were not so
Humble-hued (blues and peaches)
And seas not such a grumbling grey.
One where birds sang arias and
Clouds, red-tipped, red-lipped,
Refused to shed a tear.
In another universe,
We could have fallen in love.
One where you were less, and
I was more.
Where slender waists and
Hair like golden fields
Were commonly found,
And musical sensibility
Echoed through the winds.
But here is me,
Time-lapse photography of coastal weather,
Rough and tumble, blue skies versus
Swollen grey cloud-sta
Dark, dark was the night,
As he picked the stars to hold in his pocket,
Scent of cherry tobacco,
And lost petty lovers, hovers,
Quivers, on the threshold of his mind
As he picks his way through time
In the fields
And through the grapevines,
Picking at the stars.
With silent steps he held the line,
Closing in on the ends of the earth,
And everywhere he went with his mind
Was burned, lost in the light of day.
Dancing, spinning, ladies weave
Over his kaleidoscope eyes,
Pluck at furrowed brows with
Moonlight slender fingers,
Starlight shining from diamond rings.
His step kept the beat
As they pulled his hands,
To hold the w
In the grass,
And the pummeling rain,
And the cold tugging at your toes.
Stop, lay down.
Close your eyes to the steel grey skies,
And forget your mother's voice.
Now breathe in,
Pull your entire body into the breath.
Feel it filter through your bones
As your heart begins to drown.
Don't dream of golden fireplaces,
Don't get jealous
Of the warmth of another,
Remember the beauty of stone,
Pressed and rigid,
Never fickle, never false,
Your clothes will melt into your skin,
Your hair grows into leaves of grass,
And your eyes stay closed.
Now breathe out,
Remember the way you
Never told the world how you loved it,

This is the gold and the red,
Of sunrise,
Glowing through the clouds,
Finding truths to slip,
Gossamer threads,
Through our flushed lips.
Sunrise painting my skin.
And a split second of beauty.
A distilled tumbler-full.
Just enough
To get us
Drunk on hope
And flush our lips.
Tears in my eyes slide
Down fluttering lashes
To melt into your skin,
A crystal of me
On you,
Stretching, glowing, mighty,
A contented tiger,
Absolutely, gloriously,
Lean, bathed in modesty,
But with no way to hide
Honest beauty.
And I can't help but stare,
Drunk.
Fallibility in form,
Imperfect,
But comfort,
God's canvas,

The Last Time She Ever Fell
The first time she ever fell in love.
He was the beauty and passion
Of hunting lions' tango.
Then that voice over the telephone,
Yes, hello, they had been together,
Yes, they had.
Through the softness of the dial tone,
Slick against her ear,
She saw it, how it must have been,
Could have been.
But it didn't really matter now,
No, what was, is, could have been.
Pictures, in her mind,
Were blooming,
Sultry curlicues of cigarette smoke.
Her knuckles white on the receiver.
And the softness of the dial tone
Some chance meeting, green grass,
His smile, luxurious smooth body,
A smile back, their eyes, no familiarity,
Bre
I was conceived in anger,
To the beat of my mother's cries,
Pain, violence, power,
Condensed,
Refined,
Percolated through the film of
Love and human contact.
My father, the Lionheart,
The Terrible,
The King,
Lord Protector, destroying;
Ripping silent pools--
My mother's eyes,
Deep brown--
With lightening strikes.
And she with shame
Slumped cynical, betrayed--
Stopped.
Looked.
Cried.
Stopped.
Looked--
Sealed blue lips tight,
Eyes deathly still,
No ripples on the water,
And she suspended underneath,
Breathe in, breathe out,
No voice now left to fail her--
And alone with me sank from this world,
I was conceived in a
It's dangerous to imagine;
A phantom dear one.
Dark hair, warm lips,
Slender grace
Held together by the vague,
Shimmering ideal of beauty.
Stopping every half-thought--
That I could mix my
Humble tears
With your scent.
You could hold me,
Moonstruck,
As we lost ourselves
Between ourselves,
Lost the bounds of
Grass, stars, and elbows.
You could give me
Half-smiles,
And I a giggle back,
And play at discovering
The shape of each other.
Flesh,
Bone,
Push and pull and tumble over--
It's dangerous to imagine,
As legs and feet beat
Down the pavement,
Perfection and need--
Though sometimes I accept
Kisses from the wind,

I'm fourteen, and lived in Port Orford, Oregon for the beginning of my life. I love depressing books and happy movies. I like winning, and I keep fighting even when I know I'm wrong. I try to see beauty in everything, and work to be the best I can.

Yeah. I just at a Roma tomato, and I was dissatisfied by it. But it's okay. I wanted a tomato.
I really want to write. Really bad. I have this underlying feeling of stagnancy that tells me I want to write, but I don't really have any inspiration. I have a bit, but it's a bit too abstract and obscure, and I don't really have a direction I want to take it and all in all it's just not optimal. But I did fix my flower language on Rumpled Memories so that the flower actually symbolizes betrayal, so that's fun.
