the invisible girl

she didnt realise it was possible to disappear

until no longer at her door they were knocking
no one acknowledged. and she, dissolved into air

choke

last night, i dreamt that you were with me,

finally, i could breathe.

she saw:

blinding orbs, piercing direction into the night. and in precisely that moment, she was hit...

suspended in illusion

there i was standing, on top of the world.

but, it was only as i exposed the truth that my strings were cut and i realised i was never standing, only, suspended...

haunted slumber

"live to dream, die to pretend," she always said.

until slowly, the lines of reality and illusion blurred, leaving her trapped in this restless insomnia, too scared to let her eyelids fall...

tactile sense

soft as clouds, high as a kite,

the winds swept away, him, that night.

candor the second

horrid honesty and divine deception...

ignominy

shame is just a human invention

osculate

you taste like hope, the light at the end

you taste like safe, no need to defend

you taste like happy, warm from the wind

you taste like it, i should let you in.

charm

she felt the ecstasy of pure honeyed light in her veins, like being infused with the soul she had lost

the inevitable was coming, that she could feel in her bones, but she had nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide.

sting

huntress

im trying day by day to find a place where light still shines

where hearts still beat

and hope still grows....

haunted living

in my dreams, bones sink to stone.

in my dreams, the wolf he moans.

pivot

on floral sheets that she had spent night after insomniac night upon he told her that all he wanted was to save her.

he held her close and let his warmth envelop her, let their bodies become one.

when she finally found her voice she whispered softly into his ear:

"its too late. im beyond saving. beyond life beyond death

beyond you beyond me

beyond ocean and sea

beyond young, old, hot, cold, happy, sad, good bad, sane, mad.

im lost in this world and im drowning in it - as time passes im only fading and you can only become white noise, a blurred figure. walk away from me while you can. save yourself"

mountebank

you built up this wall, pretended there was magic,

you tricked them all, for reality was tragic.

alas

watch your fucking back, for to create is to destroy...

where

sweet to see and soft to touch
but he might be the one that doesnt care very much.
kindest heart and not so pretty

but he might be the one asphyxiated by the city.

narcissus

when he saw himself there, at the bottom of the river bed, he could think of nothing else

nothing but the crystal cut features, the rich hair and piercing eyes
he was so entranced that he spent days, weeks even, at the edge of the river, peering upon himself
until one day he decided he had to be with himself and took the plunge, only to never rise upwards to the surface again.

pygmalion

thankyou ares for having ears and a psyche

i caressed ivory skin, cold hands and hard bones

i kissed unflinching lips and tried and tried
if only you had been real, my love
and if only, so could i.

janus-faced

when nothing quite fits, its two spheres of time;

your sanity gone and you simply rhyme.

le visage

sometimes, you catch me, unaware. caught in time and space

sometimes, you see, i need some time, learning to see your face...

lunar

my head is lightning, flashing proud

my heart is thunder, cracking loud.

my eyes are stars, glistening bright

my body is darkness for i, am the night.

truth & illusion

if i speak the truth am i only exposing myself,

only putting myself up to be hurt?
