Black Tar Road by LemonyLessay, literature

Literature

Black Tar Road

Follow the black tar road- See how it shines A smooth glittery path ahead. Winter breathes of smoke Swirl through air: Hot chocolate steam; Small hand in mitten, larger in glove Touch difficult beauty Extra warmth succeeds struggle. The black ice a blended trap- Trickery of frozen ground With sneering crows Our bodies topple, Land black-blue bruised Atop web cracked glass. Winter breathes of smoke Crackle in air From dragon's mouths; Small hand in mitten, larger in glove Touch metallic ice Extra freeze burns fingertips. Follow the black tar road- See how it beckons A self-destructive path ahead.

Roses in a Text

Abby picks at the petals of a rose (No daisys around) Pinches each so hard red stains her fingers Splotching, like ripe cherries do – Hits "send" with a thumbprint smudged with scarlet. Mark texts the words that could make a heart Spray-paint two sets of initials on a decaying bridge – Thumb hovers over "send" Flickers, as does the attic light, Propped next to his cross-legged form, Jeans speckled with dust. Abby places the petals In a wispy circle around her on gravel driveway Imagines rich silk, soft as roses Covering her in safety. Mark hears it Monster opposed to love, or produced from it, (He will never know)

This Chase

Feet sink into wet doughy sand- Leaving etchings of shoe prints Ground has suction- Wants me to stay, stop running, Sink. Can't pause for breaths That pound fists against lung walls Beg with whiny voices To be freed from hot iron cage. Running after you, an addiction Distances alter – closer sometimes (Allusion?) Other times, your form a salty grain On horizon, Parallel to lapping waves. Water seeps into shoes, Pulls me in direction Of moody green-black ocean, Beckoning with soft hands, Urging me to stop this chase. Wonder what it's like To have knowledge of a person Running behind you, for you; To know that if

Baby, It's Cold Outside

"Baby, it's cold outside." I feel the shivers along my arms and legs; they crawl like spiders, but underneath my skin. "I know," I say. Of course I know. For a moment I hate Ron for stating the obvious, for bringing the oily truth to the surface. But then I look up at him, my leaning tower of Pisa, and follow his dark blue eyes to a window. Through the window I see a smiling clichéd suburban family – mother passing around a plate piled high with ham, dad telling a "dad joke" no doubt, two kids pretending to listen, although one keeps glancing down at the cell phone they hold on their lap. It looks

Fell Into the Puddle by LemonyLessay, literature

Literature

Fell Into the Puddle

Fell into the puddle Drenched in your flimsy adoration I stand tall – let it drip off me I let myself get pulled in Slipped under the covers Warm with your attention But then you left The air began to cool I started to shiver Covered in shadow All alone When I lifted up the blanket Painful sunlight filled my eyes Your form far away Head bent down to hold Her hair, kiss her gently Fell into the puddle Drenched in your flimsy adoration I stand tall – let it drip off me.

purity by mistsofavalon4ever, literature

Literature

purity

Why do you call her naiive with a sneer so judgmental? Maybe it's because you wish you Yourself, Could still be that innocent- But you bowed to lipstick And eyeliner and fishnets And men and the cold Bathroom floors. Your heart is intertwined With threads Of cynicism You miss being pure Even though when you were, You every night wished not to be So pathetically unknown Oh, the irony At both periods &#

look outside the window by stains-on-myheart, literature

Literature

look outside the window

If you crawl underneath my covers on a brightly lit city night, shut your eyes and it feels like you're running away. if you look outside the window: there should be stars in the sky but there are none. why has the moon thrown them all away? maybe the moon has run out of glue and can't afford to paste the little stars up anymore or maybe he's done pretending that his sky is beautiful when really it's just black. maybe I should let him borrow my tape because when everything is so sad down here it would be nice to see something sparkle once and a while. but if I give him my tape my glue I'll surely fall apart again and the

Midnight Meltdown by stains-on-myheart, literature

Literature

Midnight Meltdown

rain washing us closer together, pushing us further apart. wading in the syrup we've created, leaves drenched and sticky attempt to tape us back together again falling softly across our flesh and the sky continues to ooze drops of red blue and all of the above, rolling over the ragged bumps dropping into the valleys we created between the curves of our bodies. and they keep falling through a mixture of all that was and will forever be even when I'm sorry- forever is lost, and everything falls in the end.

Why Hello!

0 min read

So my sleep schedule's messed up (meaning I can't sleep-in anymore) and I haven't done a journal entry in awhile and I don't feel like being productive, soquiz time!  TEN HOW'S: How did you get one of your scars? Appendectomy. I think it's cute. How did you celebrate your last birthday? Sleep-over with my favorites, because I'm never too old for sleep-overs. How are you feeling at this moment? Really good. How did your night go last night? Worked, then went to bed very early for me. Dreamed about things I don't really remember. How did you do in high school? Very well. :) How did you get the shirt you're weari

Aww, I'm so happy. One of my poems has gotten 20 faves -- the most out of any of my pieces. :aww: Thanks to all my friends for your continued support! It really means a lot. Hope all is well. I'm rather content with my life as it currently is. Can't wait to go to Europe next fall... I need to write and submit more! And photography, too. I need to go out and take more pictures... Okay, that is all. Just wanted to share my joy. :D
