The Exchange

He didn’t heed the warnings, When he sought financial gain. He set fire to his temple, But could not control the blaze. He fled the scent of burning, Sought to make his claim. He made a pyre of the building, And the city he left to raze. He made a fortune from their fear, As they suffered for his sake. He built a shelter out of gold, Above the smoke and haze. He let the world fall to ruin, Scorched all the lowly ants. He said let the people burn, For their anguish is what pays. He’ll watch the skyline smoulder, And smile all his days.

~ The Fire that Still Burns ~

~ The Fire that Still Burns ~ Can you stand to look at me now that I have more scars? Am I still as beautiful to you now as I was once upon a time when I knew you loved me? What have we become? A shadow of our former selves…a rippled reflection of our shattered souls. The years haven’t been kind but they haven’t snuffed out the fire that still burns deep inside for you… I never thought I would fail you like I seem to have done. I have never wanted to hurt anyone… Broken hearts have come and went…faded into the pages of yesterday, But one thing has never changed and that is my love for you. I am still fig

Weeds

We are famous amongst the stars I am sure This small little blue and greeny brown rock In the back of some Alien filing cabinet "Life: yes" "Intelligence:" There scribbled in some hyper-advanced red pen "Still Under Review" Our Clanging About So distinctly arrogant Is surely why we do not receive Visitors Proclamations of Superiority Declarations of Righteousness Thesis of Aptitude Rumblings of War Oh yes We are very sure of ourselves As we drool on our pacifiers Play with the Elements like blocks And Yet Something so small An Organism accidentally released Sends us cowering to our campfires again A Fell Wind approaches All our Bluster

Teen Titans - Raven by Jiinx

"You are dark, And darkness is often misunderstood..." Raven I am Raven, Do you see? This dark creature is the Biggest part of me… A raven rests by my window, Cloaked against the black sky, I sit in my room and wonder, Why is it that I fly? To be like the solemn bird, Drifting night by day, There was a day I made a wish, And a night I flew away. Something kept me bound, To this everlasting night, Something hidden deep within, Kept me from the light. The light, it seemed, found me, Even now they do not know. My friends were all I needed, To banish my darkest foe. I will never leave them, To them I will be kind. Th

Sinking

I'm walking the street with dread, Tears streaming as they mock. No, I can't get out of bed, This room is closing in. "Look at me", I protest; silent, Your concern for me; lies. Alone, no one cares; I tread, Waters so deep and dark. These feelings won't go away, Crushing my chest with pain. No, this is not a cliche, I am dying inside. The air around me, so thick, My lungs struggle to breath. I am sinking like a brick, Will no one come save me? Anita/Amarantheans (https://www.deviantart.com/amarantheans)

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

NaPo 2010 #3. Whew. #3 is too early to barely get one in, but it was a fun day. Also not scrapped, since there's something worth saving there.

Viva April!

'Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.'

A snappy drink recipe is a better way to start the evening than a sappy love poem.
