Waiting for a coach
and four
that never came,
she realized
a ball gown
won't bloom
out of sackloth;
glass slippers
are not dependable
and mice
are best left
to their own devices.
Midnight was never a friend,
and under that suit
he is the same as any other
man.

IcarusSun girl,

the whispering stars
& feathered clouds dance
for you tonight.

Do not let anyone
clip your wings;

you were made for the skies.

Definition of a Writerwrit•er

noun /rītər/

A writer is a person
Who sees the world differently
From a high perspective of understanding
To an easily balanced imagery

They stand at the edge of the cliff
And run that extra mile
To gain what a normal person cannot see
And to obtain the hope that they wish to cherish

A writer is a person
Who buries their ego and places boulders upon it
They learn the rules, follow the rules, and will break the rules
And make writing their own

They lay upon the dusty old ground of a graveyard
And do an annual ritual to free the inspiration that has been pinned down
They want to show their abnormality to everyone

Red DressDon’t put on your red dress
for he doesn’t know the meaning
he doesn’t want the commitment
he doesn’t care for the color.

The red dress you love to wear
that’s stained from wine and beer
but still carries so much meaning
for who could find a second red dress

Don’t go out on your red dress
for the man who wants nothing more
to screw around and doesn’t understand
the meaning behind a simple red dress.

A red dress for when you dance.
A red dress for when you cry.
A red dress for when you need it.
A red dress for when you care too much.

Don’t put on your red dress for him darling
he doesn&rsqu

i got flowers oncei am lonely.
i received flowers once
and i placed them
in a vase til
the petals all browned
desiccated
and turned to dust
on the glass of my bureau.

i have never gotten flowers since.

i spend my days
with a boy
a man
whom i love far beyond reason
and he holds me in his arms
and holds me together.

i bite my nails
and pull my hair
over the moment when he
inevitably
feels the disenchantment
fall over his body,
all clean lines
and smooth shapes,
and realises that leaving
the worst thing
would be
the best thing.

i am lonely
and even with a hand to hold,
and even with a cloak of security
bunching around my shoulders
and hiding my thighs,
i feel

moonshines in georgiaman on the moon:

giddy with lumps of north georgia seas
greased on the crease of my lips
gravity drips from couch-cavities
when tides belch from below --

burst on the water's edge,
earth's bourbon sailors retch in moonshined ripples
trickled blue murder on their crinkled crimes;
raking water wrinkles like a wayward drunk
stuck on sunken bootleggin' dreams.

it's been a long, long time
since I've drowned your hemisphere
for fishing like a moonraker,
swishing my bait-lines like tobacco's
squished in your shallow gums
before you dare to down my air
breathing in this sincere georgia night.

L.E.S.B.I.A.N.Living on the
Edge of life
Saving myself
Being who
I truly am
As it is all i can be
Never forget that

Blame The ParentsI won't be able to keep a relationship in the future because I'm scared
I'm scared it'll turn out like theirs

I'm a pacifist because I hate watching it
I hate watching them fight

I have PTSD because of their fights
Their fights almost broke up this family

I self harm because they are pushing me over the edge
I was already close to jumping, but they gave me an extra push

I'm always in my room because that's how I run away
I guess that's called "Like father, like daughter"

I only eat one meal a day because he constantly puts me down
Even though he's joking, I can tell he means every bit of what he says

I can't trust anyone because they do

Missing piecesMissing pieces

There are wounds
that never heal; silences
so loud they thunder - I stopped
breathing years ago, that night
the ice took my chest. Since then
I walk in pieces, howling
around my heart.

field notesi read some poetry
just for the sound--for the words lilting up and down
and the thick, honeysepia
polaroids unmisting in my head.
those are the poems i never understand
and the only conclusion i can draw is:
there is apparently
some supernova poetic awakening that comes
with the loss of virginity
and basically i need to get laid.

This is what makes me different.
It is what makes me both distant and compassionate.
It is what makes me both tired and creative.
It is what makes me both sassy and awkward.
It is what makes me both fairly normal and completely insane at the same time.

This is what makes me amazing.
It is what gives me my talents and achievements.
It is what gives me my intelligence and ideas.
It is what gives me my humor and individuality.
It is what gives me my passion and dedication.

My coffee is lousy
Another cardboard morning
The day isn't a blank canvas
Waiting to be painted
Its already scrawled with
Yesterday's mad crayon drawings

Smoke drifts up and out of the window
I drink the coffee

i remember longing for you with every fiber of my being,
feeling separate from you even when our clothes lay on the floor
and your fingernails dug into my shoulders
and your toes curled

The Four SeasonsYou are familiar, I trust, with the four seasons: Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Long ago, before the dawn of man, there existed only two seasons: Summer and Winter. Winter's castle lay to the north, and Summer's castle to the south. One day, a grand celebration was to be held in the palace of Mother Earth herself. Summer and Winter were, of course, invited, but both kingdoms could only send their daughters. And so it became that Aiyana, the Daughter of Summer, and Kateri, the Daughter of Winter, were to attend the banquet together, setting the stage for our story.

"What on Earth is that thing on your head?"
Aiyana looked down from her

We sang our promises to each other
As you drove towards the bazaar,
Old-new music turning the air sharp and crisp
As the fiery trees that flew by.

Then we walked a little later
Through still-green fields and tire hills,
Speaking of springtime blossoms
As a wintery wind nipped at our hands.

Sitting on what felt like a grassy observation platform,
We ignored the phantom stares of others
And found ourselves in each other
As a summertime sun beat against us.

This new world of ours
Can and will survive the seasons,
For now we two cannot be separated,
Filled to bursting with love and hope.

I really like this. The seasonal imagery is very strong, with the progression of fall into winter, spring into summer. "The bazaar" adds an exotic air - is it actually a bazaar, or is it a synonym for, say, a mall or a farmer's market? "Old-new music" invokes the sense of sound, and adds a timeless (or, at least, time-transcendent) mood. "Still-green fields and tire hills" is interesting, in that it combines rural landscape and urban landscape. The third stanza, combining the mention of "phantom stares of others" with "ourselves in each other" reiterates the focus of this poem on the "we", the two lovers, and their obsession with each other, to the point that others, in "this new world of ours", are nothing but phantoms. Finally, the last two lines bring up the melding, the unity, the union of two individuals as two parts of a single entity, that is essential to love.

...At least, that's my take on it. This poem may be short, but it really is excellent: it paints a picture, captures a story, encloses a feeling. Beautiful.

~Suki-chan36 Oct 20, 2012

Honestly, your take on my poem is beautiful. I purposely put off replying to you just so I'd be able to read it every time I checked my messages. Thank you so much for this comment. That you think so highly of my poetry is just... gah, thank you.

And Christine wants me to mention that yes, it really was a bazaar. xD

My thoughts exactly, ashke. ^_^

~Violet-Illusions Oct 8, 2012

Nyaa this is really nice! It's a really sweet poem. c: Good job! I think it's really neat how you characterise the world around in it (especially fiery trees and phantom stares).

~Suki-chan36 Oct 9, 2012

Thank you so much! I actually hadn't initially intended for there to be this overarching seasons theme when I first started writing, but I'm really glad it went in that direction.

And thank you very much for Favouriting it!
