Literature Text

Beneath a hollow Sky I lie far below,
cold under the sleeping daisies, colder
under my silent gravestone, as the
Fire stirs up from the ashes of old,
what is dead in the world I can see-
whispering through the velvet velour
of my mind, I feel the secrets that
slumber in the dusky gaze of Forever,
they speak to me in the Moonlight wine
I drink, brewed by the beasts who walk
the landscape of visions only I can
see, I see them even on a Moonless
Eve for I exist in the celebration
between Dusk and Dawn, in the heart-
beat every spirit hears between Death
and Rebirth-there I will be, I exist
in the rays of the Midnight Sun that
illuminates the subconscious, in the
mist that separates the Known from
the Unknown, though others may not
see me-I live, I breathe, I dream-
not cold in my crypt of Solitude,
but warmed by the Wisdom tumbling
down on me from Stars long dead.

THE SLIGHTEST SOUL...

THE SLIGHTEST SOUL… By Heather Chrysalis Mead. February 15, 2015 I was the slightest soul in a house of Stone and Shadow, I took the smallest step -backward-into the corner-hoping- they wouldn’t find me, my little corner I dusted with the reverie of a single rose petal and populated it with books, books and a firefly-lit lamp were my world where I pretended I was loved and accepted, where I scribed the prose I couldn’t speak, my tongue was purpled under the weight of everyday bruises as I tried to catch the feathers falling from the blue atmosphere. I couldn’t speak and I never spoke, from those who raged and ridiculed I locked myself away in Prose and Solitude, I never learned to speak louder than a whisper-and only briefly too- I couldn’t bear to live too loudly, the racket would scatter my sensitive nerves and shrivel the halcyon height that my soul can only reach in the white plumes of Silence. Only in Poetry was I ever heard or seen, this slightest soul whose fears trip the

Ghost

Every night there's a ghost licking the floor boards and you can't help but love the sound of weird thoughts waking flowers rotting in their vase completely forgotten that sickly sweet smell is a whole new level of affection Chatting with the cracks in the ceiling old stories gather at the bottom of your glass And there's still many more to share The night is young we have plenty of time Our taste on your lips It's this kind of company you enjoy the most

She who destroys the light

first seed Darling, you and I both know in a better world I could be your Lethe wrap around you, drown you erode everything that ever tried to bring your fate down on you. Still if I picked up the pieces I'd hear their soft hum— the one shells moan for the sea— for even then there would be places in you still not free. second seed Surely women must have learned by now never to trust fruit. A garden is a prison earned and there is nothing satanic, nothing sacred about hunger. Yet when your body curls in on itself seduced by not-seeds that need only thirst to root you find your lips wet and what might be blood or j

Dishevel

I slept the length of ten thousand slumbers and woke to feel no younger; dreaming a dream of fire to quench the thirst of havoc that dwells in my chaotic heart. -Brian Shuffett March 7th, 2011

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

Despoema de amor

Deveria lhe compor versos perfeitos Que homenageariam todo seu ser Te diria que o meu sonho é te ter Mas fico com preguiça e não faço tais feitos Diria que desbravaria todo o mundo Somente pra defender seu nome Só que eu esqueci dele, to usando um pronome, Então é melhor guardar isso num buraco fundo Doaria pra te uma parte de mim Se necessário até meu coração Mas na hora do transplante eu daria uma de fujão É melhor a essa estrofe eu dar um fim Falarei então que até Lua eu te daria Mas agora de me lembro de um problema: Não consigo nem sequer puxar

Desire

Your smooth skin, It drives me crazy I want to touch you, And just maybe, You...will let me... The look in your eyes, It really drives me wild I shouldn't be surprised, That you're so tempting... You are all I can see... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Controlling me I can see... The light in your eyes, Every time you see me... The beads of perspiration, Are rolling down your face As you look away, I lean in for a little taste, Because you let me... I can see your curves, Move underneath your shirt And I can't place a price, On what this moment's worth... So revealing... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Always controlling me I can s

Our Last Kiss

If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have inhaled you deeper within me. If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have seared your taste onto my tongue. If I had known it was our last kiss, I would have scorched your scent into my skin. ... If I had known, I would have frozen time ...

This poem tells of what I think it would be like to be a ghost. I guess I kind of have a morbid muse...
