I pull her back,
I push her away,
She surfaces slowly
When I am looking away.
I push her up
Then drag her down
leave her hurting
On the ground.
I woke up and checked the results today they had posted three lists of winners- Outstanding Awards, Commendation Awards & Participation Awards, and my heart sank when none of them had my name.
Dancing light of a half eaten moon,
Trapped inside a dirty old bottle,
locked with a tottery bottle cap
Eager to break free from the trap.
One shudder and the bottle’s down,
All that light spilling on the ground,

Thoughts, dreams
And all things innate
Synchronized to
The drum beat
Plastic dolls marching
In a street parade.
Do gooders, revolutionaries,
Free thinkers, all aligned
To form their respective lines.

She traces her scars every night in the dark,
And picks on the scabs from the wounds of her heart,
She likes the pain she says.

Says she would rather be a melancholy song,
A twisted story, a poignant poetry
Continue reading “Old Scars”
She casts a spell with her heady scent,
leaves you lingering on words wondering what she meant.
Beautiful scars on a delicate frame,
But far from something you can claim or tame.
She is madness wrapped in gorgeous flesh,
Sorcery swirls at the hem of her dress.

The end came and took from me,
The only thing I cared about.
I live on carrying around,
A heart heavy with memories.
I am still alive,
But only a little.
Sun still comes up every morning,
But the night doesn’t end.
