i. he runs his fingers along my ribcage. their dancing, and playing tag whilst he pretends my bones are piano keys. i imagine that every time his finger tips tap the hollow bones rather than an echo it produces a twinkling sound. a song of stars and the moon and the sky. the piano makes such a beautiful sound he murmers and i believe hes talking to himself until he looks into my eyes and says but you make a far lovelier sound, my dear. and we kiss.

(a very bad choice.)
00b. because she is far from pure. she is hectic, chaotic, and destructive. nothing of purity, by the standard definition. but she is pure in her mother, Nature('s), eyes. for she is her creation, made for a sole purpose: to show that her mother and it's child -earth- is hurting.

Bananas and 'Cherries'
i knew from the moment my eyes locked with hers -cold, dull, lifeless brown- that she was trouble. and everyone warned me, everyone told me to stay as far away as possible, but that wasn't very far. because the piece of me that hides in the shadows behind my fragile heart was screaming we were meant to be.
(naive and innocence plus trouble and mayhem equals the perfect catastrophe.)

"i thought you hated bananas?"
"i do." she replies shoving a spoonful of banana split into cherry red lips. i stare at her, puzzled, so she continues "but this is the way banana is supposed to taste..." she sounds so completely sure of herself "...b
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... I wonder what he's doing right now, sleeping of course. Everyone is. Shit I lost count again. I looked at the ceiling trying to count all of the tiny air bubbles trapped behind paint. That poor air was being suffocated by blank constricting white. They longed for freedom, whereas I, I longed for sleep. I longed for something I knew wouldn't come in a long while, so I snuck downstairs to my usually spot.
Perched against the piano bench I looked around, staring into the dark. Which now that I think about it, wasn't entirely dark, maybe it was from the millions of stars and the full moon occupying the night. I stared

Happy Birthday Chelsea.
year one. 2/2/00
today she is one years old with his golden blonde locks. his soft green eyes. his cherry lips. my nothing. she is beautiful.
year two. 2/2/01
she is quiet, ever watching. thoughtfully, wide-eyed. perfect in all ways with sunny disposition. she is two years old today.
year three. 2/2/02
she is three years old, and ever rambling. attempting to avoid being bored with all her might, she wanders.
year four. 2/2/03
four years. she is four years old today. loud and flamboyant. she

sticks and stones and spiders
ever since she was a little girl, she's known where it hurts the most.
on the playground she'd trip little boys with jumpropes.
(and as she got older its only worsened.)
--------------
her words, they bite like spiders,
and leave a sting like black widow venom.
she devours boys whole.
she's not a whore
(she's just a maneater.)
--------------
she reigned over the school yard,
come too close to her monkey bar throne,
she'll throw the sticks and stones.
but they're nothing compared to the names she throws.
(at least you can use band-aids on bruises)

she looks like a flower,
but she's a venus fly trap,

Sour sixteen. she thinks to herself.
They forgot her again.
Just like her fucking fifteenth and fourteenth.
Nothing like her thirteenth year.
The last time they remembered. The last time they could be classified as sober.
The last time her mother whispered Gnight Jane, I love you. and the last time shed see her father.
He could at least fucking call. she grumbles, pulling herself out of bed, even though itd be easier to just lay there and have the darkness of her mind swallow her. To be stuck in the fantasy world she longs for. To never wake up.

if I wrote you a lullaby, would you listen to it? if you heard the melody that reminds me of you voice. reminds me of exquisitely tuned bells and a cello intertwined. would you listen if you heard the words that I chose? the brightest of them all, the most inspiring? ones that shone almost as brightly as your eyes do. if I wrote you a lullaby sweeter than sugar, the stature of which a secret admirer writes their love letters, would it make you smile? would my song lull you to sleep? would I get to see you your closed eyes, on resting skin of peach. if my lullaby expressed my love for you, would you love it to? if my lullaby started out slowly

its what she is.
cant stand the metals sharp edge.
its touch is cold.
just like this world.
and thats what scares her the most.

on a white canvas.
it seems simple enough to achieve.
the only thing in her way,
is her sleeve.
and the fact shes razor shy.
walls of black.
like tsunami waves at night.
engulfing her.
its what she wants.
but she still cant seem to take the blade.
and slit the veins carrying blood to her heart.
now shes thinking:

when shes scared of blood,
and a freezing blade.

1. Can you give someone else a chance? a little boy asked pointedly to my kid sister Kylie who had just gone down the rusting red slide for her hundredth time. An older boy apologized for his brothers behavior and unlike his brother Bobby, he seemed sweet.

2. He had honey skin and aqua sea glass eyes. And I dont just say that because of their color, but because of the fact they looked breakable.

It happened one day when I was eating dinner with my family (well at least they were eating) that I realized I had a problem. My brother who was just a year younger than me had been scarfing down the lasagna in front of him. Disgusting.
Slow down you pig. I spat harshly. Lately Id been getting more irritable, the tiniest things had been setting me off.
At least I actually eat. he mumbled, at first I couldnt understand what he was saying because of the pasta in his mouth which was distorting his words. But when I did realize what he said unexplained fury flooded
Bright and white against a midnight blue backdrop is snow that coats the ground in heavy blankets and glistens like diamonds in the moonlight. The stars that freckled the satin sky were accompanied by a single white marble that illuminated the night. Underneath that perfectly blemished blue is where we sat not too long ago. The slender fingers of our right hands interlaced, while the others were left to trace the outside of each others perfect lips- turned cherry from the brisk winter air. Across from us in the middle of the park were little kids with pink noses and tiny frames bundl
the world is a diorama in a shoe box. a thickly painted blue background with sparkles scattered about. a crescent cutout hanging from a string. waves of turquoise tissue paper. beaches made of Moonsand. clay people :::some brown, some white, some are smiling, more are frowning::: with colored bead eyes. I see the world through childlike eyes.
i've been sitting under
the same tree for days and now
the leaves are leaving and now
the bark is peeling and
is this what they talk about
when the sparks all flicker
out?
i've been stoned enough
times to be called a martyr and
my mind's been getting hazy
lately
how do they expect me to answer
all these prayers?
i'm not a saint, i've just got
no grasp on sin.
Deep within the belly of my home...
I sip gingerbread tea and line my bed with
the skin of October, groaning beneath my feet
the floor creaks like aging bones, I hear the
air's cookie crunch outside, it breaks up the
fast of my fantasies with its crackling cold,
whispering that Autumn's pantry has been
stocked with a bounty of seasonal reruns,
I see the Sky skirt low before the nibbling
frost as I step outside, I am not as cold as
others may be, I am warmed by Autumn's
plump lips upon mine, keeping me warm
with her mulled applespice, I kiss her-deep
