Lazy Summer Nights
The heat surrounds me, engulfs me
It’s been unseasonably hot as of late
I love it
I couldn't wait for my shift to end
I couldn't peel off my sweaty uniform fast enough
I walked down the bustling streets, savouring the sweet warmth of summertime sunshine on my skin
All I need are sunglasses
All kinds of music fills my ears
~
I finally collapsed on the bed
The fatigue of the day catches up to me
A sight for sore eyes approaches
Dripping wet
My fatigue evaporates
~
I lay on the bed
Relaxation easing into my body
A spider on the ceiling plays peeping tom
I need to move
~
I sip ice water
The TV fills
The Lotus Flower
I feel like the lotus flower
An Egyptian water flower
That was revered as a sun flower
It comes into full bloom as the sun rises
But retreats into the water as soon as the sun sets
I never understood why it was holy
It would bloom and shine only while the sun was bright
The moment times became dark it would evelop inside itself
And disappear into the inky black
How could something
That would flee the moment things weren’t perfect
Be holy?
How could something that sunk and enveloped itself into the dark despair as soon as its sunlight turned its back
Be a beacon of light?
What message does that send people
Writer's Block
Fingertips are tingling. They're sketchy, twitching, tapping, burning. They want to write. They're downright bloody aching to write something. They want to feel the words flow, starting from the brain, flooding and rushing through every limb until they explode out of the fingertips on the keyboard. The downside of that is that the brain controlling the fingertips is a big fat blank right now.
Oh writer's block, the scourge of the artist's world. Even when ideas are vast, expanding, bottled up with nowhere near enough room inside one little head, a massive wall seems to have been erected overnight. As though a giant dam were k
Beautiful
It's not a word I use to describe people
I use it for scenery
Art
Flora
And fauna
Not people
I have plenty of other adjectives
To describe aesthetic appeal for humans
Pretty, cute, hot,
Sexy, attractive, gorgeous
But never beautiful
I just don't think it's a word
That works for humans
But... him, on the other hand
He IS beautiful
In every sense of the word
The flow of his hair
His large, soulful eyes
That smile, those lips, so inviting
His hands, oh god his hands
I could write a sonnet about his hands alone
Long fingers,
Palms open, showing himself with such a simple gesture
Every movement, so graceful
I cou
Never Alone
How much would you change
If you had the choice?
If given the chance
Would you raise your voice?
Your uphill struggle
Would you fasten ropes?
Your long mountain hike
Would you give some slopes?
But what sacrifice
Would you give in turn?
What price would you pay
To have what you yearn?
Would it be worth it
To erase your cares?
Could you give them up
To end the nightmares?
The horrors you've seen
Just too much to take
The path you follow
Was it a mistake?
So many haunted memories
Behind those sweet brown eyes
Your heart keeps getting heavier
Each time innocence dies
Oh baby I know that you're scared
Of all
Untitled (Crying)
When my sight's all blurry
He's there in a flurry
I just can't say no
When his libido's a-go
He makes my facade meek
He makes my knees weak
Yet he looks for any excuse
And takes off, my only abuse
No matter how hard I'm tryin'
He always leaves me cryin'
No matter what it is in store
We're always wanting more
Even when I know I should leave
I can't escape the web we weave
No matter how much he's done you see
He can always throw this back at me
It's true this is my fault too
I can't escape, no matter what I do
I'm ripped, I'm shred, I'm torn apart
And it's all because he owns my heart
I would give him ever

Not Your Average Love Letter
Not Your Average Love Letter
I wish I could say the things I want to you
I wish I didn't have to worry about the consequences
I mean, sure, love is about taking risks
But I guess I'm selfish
I don't want it to change things where we are
Or for it to get horribly awkward
The place we are I go to in order to escape stress
If I were to open up my heart to you, and you rejected me
I don't think it would be possible to go there
Or look you in the eye
God I'm such a coward
This is the closest I can get to being honest with you
I know what I am to you
But I live in denial... I think
You smile. You flirt. You flatter, laugh, touch, hug
Wanted
We were talking. I can't remember what we were talking about. We may have been discussing the previous events of the night, but knowing us it was more likely one of three things: Life, stories from our pasts, or video games. Those tend to be the top three subjects of discussion between myself and Kamui.
It was Sunday, October thirteenth (Or, it was. It became Monday the fourteenth after midnight ) , the dead of the night. Probably around one or two in the morning. We had driven up one of the local mountains in our hometown to a secluded clearing. It was literally in the middle of nowhere, but the sky was perfectly clear with a thousa
