Orange

I apologize for my incompetency at this posting regulary business!

Orange

for a million days
she was sitting there
twirling a strand
of her tangled hair

not that a million
days could fit in
that moment—more
likely it was just
a minute

but who gets to s
ay how long a
heart stays frozen?

ice will thaw its
white, transparent
cold
numbing
 cracked self, eventually

she had a theory
of a fiery heart
that once burned
with life

something could steal that
fire away
with the instant its
own fire went out

and so her flame
had turned into a
small kindle

it’s only as orange
as the setting sun

the setting sun that
trickles away holding
its light on the world
each second it can, until
it’s gone

for a million nights
sat there
twirling hair
dark night
heart ice

Ash

Where lie the shattered thoughts and bones we have let die?
Uncover the lost, unconscious minds we buried in the void.
Like rocks that circle the storming seas, they've been ground to fading dust,
but hidden in the depths of darkness are memories left behind.
Remember with all strength and courage to revive the ones who died,
pay respect to ancient kindnesses and forgotten earthly love.
If a blizzard of ash and shadow kidnaps our sunlight,
we'll rekindle the fire in our minds for the lives of the ones we've lost.

La Poem

Wow, yeah I confused myself with this one.

When there’s not much time
for the pink, pastel petal
to latch onto her glowing ember
she must become creative.
She must fly away
to the verenadant valley
so that she may sit in the sun.
She must tilt her head back
and soak up the chartreuse rays.
They’ll speak to her, these rays,
in the native nature language
that we all secretly speak,
and say encouraging things
about blossoming inspiration.
The grass blades join in, adding the
granatuous grins of other petals
while the river sings about
peeling paper which withers
slowly to the flantaniut floor. 
Hours of seconds pass
and at long last 
she must grin and laugh
but eventually say her heartfelt goodbyes.
She must raise her head to the sky
and allow the chartreusian rays,
speaking their chartreusian language,
to pull her away,
back to her safe, little cove
off the shore of the Marlania Ocean.
The blue and silver soaked waves
of the Marlania Ocean.

For Shame.

Bad
Very Bad
Shirking your obligations,
again.

Worse
So much worse
Forgetting what your obligations were,
for the first time.

Horrid
Almost morbid
Never making amends,
ever.

See, I wrote this because I felt bad about not posting on here for forever! And then it evolved. Hehehe. Crazy how that happens.

A Girl's Bedroom

My room is a curious thing
Not alive
But close enough
To where only I 
am welcomed
Into its peculiar embrace

The walls are a warm
peanut butter
Hiding humming pixies of my 
dreams that
Steal away socks
some of which can be found
Under cool ruffled sheets

Books scatter delicately 
Their wings of hidden 
magic
Fluttering quietly around my
well worn floor
Disappearing only to reappear
Some other cluttered place
Pages worn and yellow
but loved

Then there's a bed
My bed
Where I almost always rule
A squeaky mattress laughing
hoarsely as I erase
a girls eyebrow 
for the seventeenth time

A deluge of pillows 
that are my squishy throne 
Holding my infinitesimal 
dreams as I ponder the secrets of those 
Weird aliens who dare to 
walk outside
My kingdom

And my knicknacks
Chattering across a tight spaced universe
Speaking in foreign tongues of their
travels from mystical
places
Telling me secrets 
as I sift through
much used colored pencils

But sticky hands or stern commands
open that ever stoic door
and the magic
is lost
The whispers stop
The pixies freeze 
My humorous mattress 
Holds its breath

They always leave
though
Eventually
and after a hesitant wait
The magic sparks again
And we breath a sigh of relief

My room is a curious thing
Not alive
But close enough
To where only I 
am welcomed
Into its peculiar embrace


Oh, and then there's the closet...

Swift

Here it comes
Swift as a poisoned arrow
Embedding itself deep into my heart

Terror

I have nothing to fight for
No animalistic need to stay alive
Because everything is handed to me

But the fear is crippling
The dread and horror of the future
A future I hope I survive

The storybooks don't prepare you
The soothing of soft hands don't protect
Against my doubt and turmoil

I wish I could run
Run until all answers are provided and counted
And I can smooth everything out with well fed hands

Yet my fingers are thin and calloused
Not from work but from worry
The product of a hunched sense of retreat

Here it comes
Swift as an arrow
Embedding itself deep into my heart

Terror


**Sorry for not posting! Ash**

You Look Time Lord

Two mandatory things to remember:
     Fezzes are cool
     Bow ties are cool
But never forget
please don't forget
to not blink
don't look away
from the wibbly wobbly
timey wimey
stuff.
or the void stuff
because your child
just might have
a time head.
but everything will be
just fine.
don't cry little angel
Trust me
Just don't talk to me
when I'm cross
And yes
you may call me
Sexy
but only when we're
alone.
So hello
no
wait
the other one.

Name. Rank. Intention.
The Doctor. Doctor. Fun.
Brilliant
