Can't taint me, can't paint me, with a brush dipped in acid, can't show me how to live, can't show me how to see, can't show me how to be, can't keep me confined, can't keep me entwined, by the shadows at my feet, snaking 'round my ankles and burning with venom, fueled by spite cold and metallic, fear can't ignite, can't bind me, can't find me, can't ensnare me with hate, can't corrupt me and eat me alive, can't tear at my skin, can't feint with lies, can't paint my eyes... 'cause I know who I am, I am me...

Sunlight frames the gnarled tree, branches like a web are a halo against the sky, she's on her knees, her skin moonbeam pale, the scent of lilacs hangs in the air, her hair is the gold of setting sun, outlined against the pastels of forever, the sky, and her eyes hold eternity... just as the moon and the sun collide, a race of glistening tears down each cheek, and a teardrop clings to the grass, and then the world is one. All's shrouded in darkness, but light erupts from the circle in the sky, the celestial sphere... the tears spill, fast and furious, and everything twists into the crazy shapes of loss and love, and for a m

Felt a black hole spinning 'round and 'round, taking with it all I knew, all the lies I thought were true, out of step with the world as it spins see the velvet that is the sky, with stars imprinted on the fabric, a burning white heartbeat as the light glows and fades glows and fades, and glows, the unwordly silence pounds, penetrating, feel a realization prickle beneath the surface, like that moment when you wake in the morning, drifting in hazy semiconsciousness, forgetting that anything is wrong, and everything is wrong, and it glows and fades, glows and fades and glows again, a throbbing heart, a rhythm that pulse

Trapped in narcissism, caught in a web that's on the verge of causing a fall, a fall away, they clawed their way to the top pushing others to the bottom without a thought and found themselves in a trap always a step away from tripping, as complex lies wind themselves in a web about their feet spirals and crisscrosses, weaving in and out, in and out, they watch their step juggling complicated lies words escaping their lips poisonous words that taint they no longer see who they are oh what a tangled web we weave, in and out, in and out, They see what they want to see...

No one needs to say it, because the air is heavy with the reality of what we dare not speak, like the suffocating atmosphere after a dense rainfall... "She is going to die." The glass of water stands tall near the window, reflecting a bloody light as the sun dips below a low hill, its dim glow fading, casting the grounds into a dim, gloomy sort of darkness, and I resent the window, for it frames the world beyond, the world she can no longer be a part of, for she's imprisoned by the creamy walls, bound by the tubes, the wires, the needles, the medicine, and the pain... I want to shatter the window, watch the shards rain up

Colored cream, a puddle of melted butter reflecting the hazy sun, A song of the purest melody, Sweet and enchanting as it encases the soul, Tastes like Heaven with a tinge of vanilla, An aura of the refreshingly brisk air of spring as earth's beauty emerges from its tomb after a long winter, A wedding dress, made of the finest material, cascading to the ground in a waterfall of vows unbroken, The softest silk, more weightless than the clouds and lined with satin... White roses

Splashes of color are strewn across the pavement, taking pleasure in the promenade upon the street, as the leaves swirl in a blur, dancing and skipping, as there's a bite of winter in the air, but it's a faraway threat, and they content themselves with basking in autumn's glory, pumpkins with faces carved into sinister, toothy grins, a light flickering within them, illuminating the night, as all is flooded with the color of the evening, supplying a warmth in the suddenly crisp air that takes place once the sun's last rays are doused and all is quiet... Those that wander the street are bathed in moonlight, and they wade in it, c
