Prophecy The snow is my sign like the thunder like the lightening that foretells what is coming The snow is my balm my whiteness of Gilead the storm is rolling but for now there is snow My eyes see the snow my heart feels the lightening I know it will strike when the thunder roars in and in that hour his eyes will open the knowledge, the horror the honor, the earthquake i will ascend but I'll be pulled back. The snow is a promise that lightening will strike and after all after all Here I'll have to remain Give back the dream-- and thanks for the snow.

God Follows

God Follows My problem has never been lack of faith but too much faith in punishment every transgression i have made kicks me into banishment I am damned by my choices expelled into darkness a black so deep no stars can touch it. Still, I have a cross to bear I have the crown of thornes and though it may take my life, my God, Some day I will go home. I do not know what heaven is who will be there, where they've gone I find no comfort in a joy lit room Nor in prayer, nor in song. My faith is sacred and I am scared of all that I've done wrong.

Look How Happy She Is!

Look how happy she is! her opalescent skin her long red hair the silk and the satin the royal, velvet blue-- So much happier than you. Look how thoughtful she is! A half, sheepish smile her fist on her chin the 1000 mile stare glittering like gems-- She basks in her reasons. Look how mighty she is! Brave like a tiger coniferous and bellicose full of brimstone and fire She has courage, and so much of that-- While you don't even know how to act. She is a paragon, a pillar strength, beauty and resolve yet still something is unquiet within her as her head nods just slightly and then nods no more-- This echelon of a woman was found dead

Tight-Lipped....

Tight-Lipped.... If I let the words out each barb and prick blood like roses if the words slip If I started to scream nobody would hear with lips tightly closed with no one to share If I took a slit and made a strike what would leak out? words or life? I'll keep the words I'll study the knife from morning til evening and give up my nights I haven't the courage I havne't the means I sew up my lips I swallow the screams.

(A Beautiful Death for the Heartbroken One)

(A Beautiful Death for the Heartbroken One) You made me a promise but can't bear to keep it And I'm on my knees crying and cheated. Stay away, Love, stay far away You have your intentions to leave anyway. Stay far away Love, go and be far so you won't see me weeping alone on the floor. I'll return the rings, Love—I'll give back your rings a circle's a curse and a terrible thing-- It cannot be broken. Only can bend, and a heart once bespoken never can mend. I'll return the rings, Love, I'll give back your life If you will release this wretch of a wife Then with the hardest times over, finished and done I'll lay out my bones to blea

Be Not Ye Far (a lullaby)

Be Not Ye Far (a lullaby) Lover, so fair-- come stroke my hair, hold me fast-- as the night lasts-- ...don't let my fears ride out of the dark. Hold me fast, when day is past-- softly swear, you'll be right there-- ...and that my fears will stay in the dark. Don't suffer my fears-- don't suffer my tears! hold me fast, when day is past. and you'll be right there; and you'll softly swear-- “Lover, so fair” and stroke my hair. And all of my fears -- those spidery sparks! those spindly spears-- will shrink in the dark! ...Lover so fair: Be not ye far.

I'll Make it Look Like An Accident

I'll Make it Look Like An Accident What doesn’t kill us— Just wears us down. I’ve been lowered down. Into a pit With no hope, no hope— Only a prescient haze Of trials to come Of tribulations that will make me undone. It wouldn’t have to hurt them— (Those that I love) It wouldn’t have to hurt them so much— If I fell, Was sick for a spell, Or drove Into a well… I could get away with it all. I stare up at the sky and there confound None of the stars smile down I stare up at the sky and the sun is black I stare and I stare and the devil stares back. Temptation, temptation—the

Literature

Turn Around

I never thought you'd go so obligingly From the bed, the house, the garage even— Like angels ascending to their own parts of heaven Like demons descending to their own parts of hell— I guess I don't really know you so well. I never thought my voice could be shrill Commanding you out of the space I have carved— Like Lady Macbeth I am playing a part Like Lord Macbeth I take more than my share— And I turn around And you are not there.

Princess Up in The Tower

Princess Up in The Tower Thunder and lightning don't scare me But the sounds from upstairs are fierce— I hear the pain as she's screaming I hear the drip of her tears. The daughter is thrown to a corner, And I hear the thump on the floor. I wish I could stand up there for her— I wish I could do something more. But down here I have no power And the bombs and grenades ensue Princess, up in your tower— I wish I could rescue you. Princess up there in your tower— I remember being you.

HUITZILOPOCHTLI

HUITZILOPOCHTLI I make you dinner, The entire time Devoting myself to thoughts of How to brown the meat, And how fine to chop the onion --never crying--- because soon you will come home, and take your fill of the food I have so carefully and lovingly prepared for you. and we can talk over forks and spoons glinting like the light off our white, white teeth, laughing when I say I burnt the pasta that one time or I dropped the cheesecake that one time-- We remember and don't regret. When suddenly with fear that something is not right I look to you and see what is really going on-- what I really did--- I laid myself down willingly on th

Paris by all-hours, literature

Paris

I lost sleep over Paris. the planning, sure, and the street maps and sewer maps and guidebooks, sure, and floor plans of the Louvre; but my lights stayed on at night not out of excitement but apprehension, for in truth I was worried about Paris. Worried about Paris, worried for Paris, as one worries for another person, worried that Paris would grow up to be a Tokyo, or worse, a New York, worried that these slow overlappings would come to overwhelm the city and me. The snow on the streets I made a mess in Paris. my new bright cheap lipstick and smudged eyeliner and the club was too bright and where were the people I had come with?

The Legend of the Mermaid by JadengurlDreamer, literature

The Legend of the Mermaid

The Legend of the Mermaid One stormy night, Misty skies awakened As the Heavens mourned Their falling star; She danced to the Earth below, But to the others' eyes Mira plummeted to her death. I looked out the window of the Sea-Side Pub. I don't know why I did. Looking at the night sky always made me sad. To see the stars twinkling gloriously off in the distance, like little beacons of his memories, little keepers of his eternal soul. A dark storm gripped the heavens tonight; I could tell by the way the glow of the stars seemed almost to flicker. Just as he had tau

01.Introduction The New Student She’s so scared of the sadistic teacher who will make her stand up and say hello to the class So many eyes trained on her she’ll vomit, scream, cry Quickly, anxiously she raises her hand to be excused to the bathroom There, in the shell of the stall, she takes a deep breath and tries to remember who she really is And what her name means And how she’ll introduce herself To the vicious, snarling crowd of students waiting To swallow her up.

fit

Fit It was alone—a bird, flashing by the window, Caught by my eye Not even a breathe of a second of time. Was it my miracle? What a laughable trickle of glory— As if a great, white bird, barely glimpsed, Could open up my eyes Or raise my prone form from my bed In revelation. It will take a stronger impetus, I fear, than one single paced piece of winged flurry To crack my shell and smile Melt the icy insides. It's pitiable, I know. But this is post-traumatic stress And there is no cure—not even the sight of a beautiful, wild bird— Feral, unfettered—with real wings. Not my miracle, but one unto itself.

I NEED IDEAS BY WEDNESDAY AT THE LATEST

0 min read

Ideas would help Hello Lovlies, As usual I am going through a rough patch.  I had a kidney stone a few weeks ago and the doctor gave me Tramadol. It's a very weak pain med; but supposedly works really well with the bupenorphine I'm on now. I took it for a few days and the voices reappeared. Then, we got into a little tiff with our landlords and suddenly everything went pear shaped.  I am now on medication three times a day: when I wake up, in the afternoon, and in the evening. I can't drive, and I had to miss Phillip's grandmother's funeral. I felt like such a horrible person for not being able to go---not being able to go because I am ins

Never Doubt the Glory of God

0 min read

Never Doubt the Glory of God It seems bizarreit seems impossible: I have my husband back. It's really him. Maybe all the prayers and well wishes from you, my friends, did the trick. Maybe it was simply a miracle. Maybe it was just an experience I had to go through. I don't know. I do know this: My husband came back to me. He's still having problemsespecially with his memory and speech. He can go from normal speech to incredibly labored and slurred speech. It frightens me each time; like he might be having a absent seizure or stroke symptoms---but with the regularity of these events and the continued improvement in our relations
