Blue by just-for-giggles, literature

Literature

Blue

It is The color of the sky At noon When not a cloud drifts by, The color of the lake When you glide across In canoes, The color of her eyes When she looks at you And says She loves you. It is The color of the stone Set in her favorite pair Of earrings, The way you feel When you see her photograph In the album Stacked on the shelf, The color of the forget-me-nots Laid neatly In a bunch Beside her grave. It is The taste of summer fruit Picked fresh From the bush, The sound Of the song Of a jay In the morning, And the bright-hot flame That burns Whenever you think Of the way she looked at you.

Literature

Decadent Dreams

Soaring on its silver wings Above the hazy world The glacial silver songbird sang Its melancholic lullaby Its lullaby was shades of white And made of ice and snow Its tragic climbing melodies Then trembled in the gale The forceful squall and blasting wind Battered at the bird Until, with one last screaming cry It spiraled towards the hazy world Giant, screaming raptors circled On wings of scarlet fire They lashed out at the glacial bird And shattered through the haze The ocean reached up with both hands And snatched at bird and song To drown the melancholic lullaby Until it sank beneath the waves The flaming raptors scorched the sea Where

Literature

LIAR.

Hey there, now, love, Why so scared? No need to walk away— I made no promises, Asked none from you I told you I had issues with people But you? Ha! You make me look so trusting, So open and friendly You’re a liar, I know you are, love, Because your actions? Well, let’s just say They tell a different story Than what your lips told me I know you noticed me, my habits, Because how else could you have done that? Used my worst fear against me? You told me I wasn’t good enough, But I know that was a lie I know it was a lie, But it hit way below the belt Who looks foolish now, love? Surely, not me I hope you realize They

Piece together your life again It’ll be easy, just stand up Walk around the world that’s not yours Pretend that it’s all the same Grabbing at the fragments From someone else’s life She looks happy; her world is fun But I have to walk around the world That’s n o t m i n e Everyone’s so nice; you’ll make friends It’ll be easy, just go talk But what they never mentioned Is how hard it gets to make them talk When n o o n e is a r o u

Unusual, part 1 by just-for-giggles, literature

Literature

Unusual, part 1

Rachel always was a rather strange child. Those around her should have known she was unusual. She never once cried. On Christmas Eve, the Abbess found her as an infant lying in the snow. She had unusually large, vivid blue eyes that seemed to stare reproachfully at the Abbess, as though saying, “It took you long enough to get here.” The infant girl didn’t cry, nor was she the slightest bit chilled when the Abbess picked her up. Uncertain, but seeing no one around to whom the infant could possibly belong, the Abbess walked away with the baby in her arms. That was sixteen years ago. Rachel pulled her l

Paper Trail

Credit cards and bills you paid Debit, credit, collecting debt Pay it off, please, Don’t let it build up more The apartment signed out in your name You signed so beautifully on the dotted line Car payments, monthly rent Your paychecks from work You logged in quite a bit of overtime Checks you signed off at the store Buying groceries and flowers But then you stopped paying rent You defaulted on your student loan Ignored the letters asking you to pay up Your credit cards were suspended You stopped going in to work, Stopped attending your college classes And asked me to cover your car payment Until finally, I woke up in your apartment The

Leaves

The wind, it whispers through the trees Rattling their colored leaves Orange, red, yellow, brown The wind is dying down Swirling colors in the wide, blue sky, Going some place else, flying by Orange, red, yellow, brown The leaves fly by when I feel down I’d like to follow where they go So I could find out what they know Orange, red, yellow, brown The wind blows leaves throughout this town Orange, red, yellow, brown The leaves fly by throughout this town Brown, orange, yellow, red Flutter by, above my head I step on leaves as I walk on Beneath my feet, they crunch and fall Orange, red, yellow, brown I follow the leaves out of this to

Glass Castle Fairytale by just-for-giggles, literature

Literature

Glass Castle Fairytale

I’ll read to you in a quiet voice, A story of dragons and simple choice; Of majestic realms and kingdoms fair With castles made of glass and air Of this, I speak, and I speak true In this quiet voice, I’ll read to you. There’s a kindly king with a daughter strong— The daughter sings a bluebird’s song – And a man in armor, silver-bright: Pure of heart, a sovereign’s knight Of this, I speak, and I speak true In this quiet voice, I read to you: They live in the realm with kingdoms fair Inside of castles of glass and air There’s a massive dragon, huge and coiled; Its scales, they gleam, they&rsquo

Ashen-Faced

Slumber quietly, my dear Nothing more you have to fear Darkness has made way for light, After you survived the night Pushing past the pain and dread Hoping just to keep your head You made it through the empty time, For now, I can’t say you are mine But I will never let you go, You cannot leave, I hope you know Forevermore in my embrace Falling limp, you’re ashen-faced Your beauty, mine; your life fades out I’ll keep you close, have no doubt Safe within my deathly hold I will liberate your soul You can’t escape from fate forever, Although you’ll try, it’s a hopeless endeavor Today you may walk free, my dear

Dream-catcher

All my silver golden dreams burned Down into gray ash they went, Consumed by that fickle fire Burning red, orange, gold, yellow, And midnight blue at the base of the flames Sitting, watching, horrified Unable to turn away Mesmerized by the dreams That burned down into the flames Stuck within this trance, Can't tear my eyes away Captivated by the twisting Hungry burning of the flames And that little blue, beaded, feathered D R E A M C A T C H E R Took my breath away And all my blackened ashen dream burned Down into the gray ash they went Consumed by that dying fire Burning low and ocher, tawny, ruby, And midnight blue at th

Literature

Silver Bells

I float towards wakefulness slowly, then, with a jerk, I fully wake up. I frown. Is it morning? Scratch that—my clock says two in the morning. It's not even sunrise yet. I don't have to go to the bathroom… Am I thirsty? Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, or get a drink of water, or sometimes a snack. Tonight is different. Something is wrong. I tilt my head, confused. What is different about tonight? I slide my legs out of bed. It's Christmas morning, though very early on Christmas morning. I'm seven years old, and I'd stayed up longer than I should've, excited to see what Santa would brought in t

Capital Punishment. by just-for-giggles, literature

Literature

Capital Punishment.

The dark flame burns before your death, Ocher, orange, and tawny breath Flicker, shadow, empty, lost Fight the chill of winter's frost Whisper, silence, stillness, fear Through the darkness now you hear Clicker-clack on floor of stone Chill of fear within the bone Darkness deep, all life sleeps; Closer, ever closer creeps Darkness, death, the end of light Ponder now your fatal plight At the door, the reaper grim Beckons you to follow him Resign yourself to endless night Never more to see the light Evil blackness now awaits Here to give to you your fate Swish-and-snap, with life no more Fallen down on cold stone floor

Only Glass by Acinonyx-rex, literature

Literature

Only Glass

She collects glass bottles In rows upon her shelf Keeps them always closed up tight And seals away herself She fills them up with sadness And she fills them up with tears With blood and ghosts and memories With thoughts and dreams and fears Her most precious bottle With which she'll never part She keeps it the darkest corner And it contains her heart The glass is stained with grief and shame It's chipped and smeared with dust Edges worn with too many years Of anger and distrust It's known its share of heartache It's felt the steely rain It's had its share of lovin' It rode those waves of pain She can't say where it started

was nuts. How ridiculous. At my new school? Heck, well I do 4 hours of homework on average every night and I haven't opened up my internet in days. This marching band does a lot more stuff than my old one did. So far, moving has gone pretty well. I don't despise my new school, I've made friends (all in band but pfft whatevs), and I'm even going to end up going to homecoming next Saturday like what. I try to keep in touch with my old friends (I fail so miserably sometimes >.<) and well. It's just not as bad as I thought it would be. I forgot how things tend to work themselves out when given enough time. Eventually, things make sense. Any
