Lose My Words by CalliopesLilly, literature

Re: Feminazis by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Re: Feminazis

I won't fall back on feminism, I'm quite sorry to say Quote "I don't want to die lonely, and I don't want to decay" I want a gallant white knight who will sweep me off my feet, I want a boy who's sugar sweet Your mine I'm yours I'm yours to keep So don't tell me what I do need, like a boy who's honey fine Or a kid with big blue eyes Or whom, artistically, can shine I'll tell you what I do need Hell, I'm untried but true This twenty-five cent body language screams I Want You

Exhaustion by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Exhaustion

I am a bowstring strung, taut and frayed, ready to backfire With a sharp snap and pathetic panic attack. There is a gravity at the bottom of my bones called exhaustion The kind you get after radiation therapy or a good cry. I wish my weight would carry me down to rest in the earth, solid earth ageless lady earth eternal. Or maybe I'd just like to fall asleep in some boy's arms. Eithey way, hollow hearts don't possess that much gravitational pull. And I know I say the stress keeps me alive-- Keen-eyed living, breath to breath hand to mouth Quick minded, sharp witted, and a little bit ambitions. But some days I just drown. So

360 Regression by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

360 Regression

I am regressing back to the wearing of black Melodies and moonlit wind flit through my bones Painfully playing my name over again, a sorrowful piece. Minor keys, up, down, scales, ribs Scaling down to desolation And the elation, elevation of feeling wanted. A breeze, cold, whistles through the hollow Where upon a time, songs and hot blood once ran Once, there was fire, determination, Cooled evaporation: realization, dissapointment. SUDDENLY A fierce wind, stormwind vengeful rage, curling tearing, ripping itself apart at undeserved pain. It howls through dusty vocal cords, A death keen that claws, shrieking sonotas From these

Voice Poem

I can't find you! I can't find you! Why? Why is my mind whirling with Wordful, wondrous lines Streaming around a rainbow fan Of mixed up lies and alibis That's pretty, PICK UP A PEN. What kind of pen?! The kind with ink! Write swift So you don't have think or fear Whatever flows, shows in these

Donna, donde esta tu querida? by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Donna, donde esta tu querida?

So long and goodnight A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it I'll be your number one with a bullet And what's the worst you can take? Where is your boy tonight? Just like the hearse, you die to get in again From every heart you break And every blade you stain You were the last good thing about this part of town Someday I'll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call you We're always sleeping in Wishing to be the friction in your jeans A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it. I hope he is a gentleman You need him - I could be him A brand new fashion of waking up with pants on at 4:00 in the afternoon Burning like the mat

Eternal by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Eternal

Eternally within the pain Without loss and without gain Nothing broken, nothing lost Wishing to die, but at what cost? Eternally within the flame Flames of grief are never tamed Revenge is sweet, yet murder's despair Something time cannot repair Eternally within the dark Killing silent,leaving no mark Is this his death or your own? Emotions that are never shown. Eternally within the pain Forever hurting, who's to blame? Life and time may have true seeming To warrior hope may have no meaning.

Voices by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Voices

All these voices in my head, All those things you never said That's what the voices keep on preaching About how lies could have been lies And hope about your demise These voices only stop, When I stop thinking... About you. And the harder that I try The more I seem to cry Remembering the things that I don't want to The tears and the laughs Why do you always let me crash? Is it the same with you? Do you ever stop thinking... About me?

Rain by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Rain

A background of my thoughts The framework of my dreams Whether raging storm and thunder Or as calm as the deep blue sea Might be lightly sprinkling As dust rises from the ground I would die so happy If that rain were my last sound What if thunder tore the skies And broke that peaceful calm? When Mars and all his wrath descended, Who would take me in their arms? I would pro'ly stand alone In that dark and omnious haze As my happy dreams departure Left me in a senseless daze. I am standing out alone In a stormy sea of dreams No dream makes it out alive, The rains, the hold the key.

Gone by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Gone

Your departure struck me breathless The sight of your retreating back left me senseless And a blind child in this world is easy prey. My senses crowded with your lies While my heart was drowning in numb tears The fact that you had left Confirmed my ever-present fears. My sight was blinded by your rueful face All I heard were your false phrases-- "I love you." All lies. All untruths. So.... So I guess your the last The last I'll ever tell my heart to Whether friend or lover. The last that might see my true self. I'm tired of being lied to. Decieved. Betrayed. My spirit forever weeping, My heart eternally bleeding, As my

Gone again by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Gone again

"I think we should see other people" Each word fell upon my ears And took precious moments to sink in But when it did My heart left As did the coherence of my mind. ....Odd. Most say when you 'break up' your heart breaks Mine was stolen. So you went rambled on about our relationship, But I didn't hear a word So I stumbled outside, into the rain My mind as numb as my fingertips became After an hour of not thinking Out there in the cold unfeeling rain By the time I came to my senses It was dark-- And I was lost In spirit, body and mind My spirit- Gone. When you left, you took it with you Body? Runni

Cry for Me by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Cry for Me

"Help me, please!" A silent cry Can't you see it In her eyes? There is still life In those brown depths, Just waiting for spring After winter's death. Her soul is begging For loving redemption But slipping down slowly For lack of attention Praying for kind sunlight To draw up a green faith Just a kind word, Will you not help her? Just a kind word, That's all it takes. But nobody listens As she falls of the edge Just harsh words-- She's fallen. Her spirit lies broken Weeping, now dead.

Single And Seeking by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Single And Seeking

Average looking, commonplace Looking for a soulmate Not just a friendly face. Someone to help her rise Above her tarnished dreams, Somone to put her together When she's splitting at the seams. Single poet-- Young, with 'potential' Though not for the things she stands for. Vibrant, with 'beauty' Though definitely not on the outside. Enjoys dreaming, imagining Singing songs of joy When the sorrow gets too much. Seeking-- Someone to believe in Somone to cling to A shoulder to cry on Someone to read to. Someone that listens, With heart-mind-and-soul Someone to worry for When he doesn't come home. Desperately seeking A ni

Literature

Fallen, Broken, Shattered

When was the last time you heard night fall? I heard it the other evening I heard the late rays crash down on the hills I heard the silence Screaming my name Knowing that I, in my loneliness Was vulnerable. I heard the minor chords of stars With their sharp light Flung at me, and me only By some aphroditic goddess Furious at my lack of love Or rather, that requited. Have you ever seen dawn break? I saw it the other morn, The night, silent and cool Slipping out like a theif Making leeway for the day That does not intend to make me hurt. And I see the green leaves Basking in the early sun And those rays touch my heart But

Coasting by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

Coasting

The beach was foriegn to me. Part of me is concrete With green between the crevices Automatic animals And smog-filled nights Part of me is the range Open sky, no trees Only golden grasses Soaring hawks and puma glimpses And the coast... Was beautiful Is lovely All of me is there. The beach is rugged, The waves have had they're way, peacefully slipping up the sands. The waves do not 'crash' The murmer secrets, secrets of sleep The sand is harder, more relentless Than any dance floor. The towns are small, No chains, Insulated by a dark green I have seen no where else. The sky, mistily swathed in fog Is held up by emeral

In My Element part 1::Air by CalliopesLilly, literature

Literature

In My Element part 1::Air

You are my breath of fresh air The air that regulates my blood, Keeps up needed organs, And provide 0(2) for necessary chemical reactions. You are the breath that cools my temper Refreshes my tired heart And comforts my aching bones. You are my deep breath The one before the plunge. The thought before the hectic race The prayer before the roll of dice The hope before the dark abyss. You are air, faith, breath, light. You are salvation.

adaptation for two

it's not the first time I've spun unrequited (and right) writing my own second chances but love I do believe you're enough to be last or at least lasting the past pushed precise to put you in my path with the pure poetry of coincidence now I'm convinced and almost sunk with the wait of the life that led you up to me still I'll sit quiet on the sidelines smile as your reflection if keeping company requires keeping my mouth shut I'll shout words where you can't hear just so you know I'm here

soap and water by inmyroom, literature

Literature

soap and water

You peer into eyeballs as if to say 'all men are killers', then release heavy substances into my bloodstream. The noise pollution they're producing makes you slap windows shut, the hospital walls say -- 'the solution to the problem is dilution', so you drink two pints of water everyday and take a bath before you sleep. Your collar bones divide and I, too, swell inside. Spitting out lumps of muscle, like a common cold digs further -- crayfish swim ten feet down and there is not enough tissue to wipe this spillage up. This news could cause punctures in our lungs, you come to a halt as you scuff your feet on the realisation th

Superman by Saphirre, literature

Literature

Superman

I'm lying here, Superman I'm crying here, Superman I'll be dying here, Superman Will you save me, Superman? I've got kryptonite Mixed in gin tonight; Yes I'll be alright, Yeah it'll be alright. The paint's done its peeling My mind's lost and reeling Oh how death seems appealing (as much as it can) But when I start falling and my heart stops its stalling I'll still be calling; (are you there Superman?) Save the world, Superman Save the girl, Superman But remember, Superman, She

it's in honor of bridges both burnt and burning that I return each letter unopened and openly opposed and if we deserve doubled history then all's fine and forgotten until the next time we find ourselves well below understanding grin (firmly in place) face saved in spite of who knows the sad truth is there is no sad truth just weeping wise men secretly smiling since the show must go on therefore: everyone's entitled to a little enlightenment in the final act or is as was AND your money back

Too Busy for Me by Deathstarr, literature

Literature

Too Busy for Me

Unsure of what I needed, it was late august and I was awaiting his homecoming. The century is getting shorter and loving another requires loving one's self. He'd been at the institution, where he'd been beaten into dramatic reform. Even though, he kept a box beneath his bed where a considerable amount of memories slept. We could never deny the aerodynamics, and scientific methods had always been a problem. And soon enough, reasons NOT TO had congregated in the back of my mind, where he was shrinking. Diffusion occurs from high concentration to lower, but he said that was besides the point. The clock's been racing, backwards, b

Hey there Sleepyhead, by Deathstarr, literature

Literature

Hey there Sleepyhead,

Blow out one more candle Than you did last year. She said: Here's to new beginnings, And to wonderful ends. And I could have sworn she was right. (But he's in the background screaming suicide.) There are times when change is needed, Even though you might die to avoid it. There are habits to give up, Things to get over, People to forgive, And I will change. She said: You say that now, You'll never change. (And even though he's gone, you're not the same.) I remembered when she had faith. (He was dying there too, and so fashionably wearing a frown.) Sometimes, I could swear I'm a different person. Like I have no

More hearts being broken

There are things I'll never say in fear of your reply And there are things you'll never know when you look me in the eye. There are things you won't understand if you never see me cry And there are things I'll never tell you until the day I die. There's sorrow in the air we breathe inhaled with every breath There's sadness in my sky tonight but it seems to matter so much less. There's truth behind the lies there's something hidden in the mess And I swear you'll never understand there's life inside this death. And I will never tell you my heart breaks every passing day But I swear you'll never know because I'm scar

For Those of Us

Don't rush the lonely We'll take our own time In realizing we need.... Something more. More than quiet stares More than dreams, than flying fancies More than missing 'them' every damned day More than seeing things that were never there Such wishful thinking Such desperate hoping Such brave tears Such is the breaking of hearts Don't rush us please For Such Love was never felt Because we need more than Hanging on the hope That you'll return...

QUESTION

0 min read

The reason I haven't been posting anything lately is because I'm afraid that in putting poetry up on the 'net, I can't get it proffesionally published at a later time. If any Deviants know ANYTHING about this, im:c00lm0o, tresasweet or email me ASAP please...I have some new stuff that I'd like to put up if it doesn't interfer with future publishing.... In other news: -I could have my license by now. I will do drivers ed. I will, I will, I will. -Music! Private lessons, practcing, hopefully doing pit orchestra (Hello Dolly), quartet stuff, jazz lessons/performing...I play the flute, btw. -Ohgod. I must go to SJSU and get my BM in music ed.

I think that it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirrors and when we we kiss they're perfectly aligned. I've been writing like no other, but the stuff is so different...I'm not sure if I'm going to post it. Partially because I'm lazy, partially because I have 0 time, and partially because if I ever do get published I'm pretty sure my publisher won't want stuff floating around the net. so. yep. AIM me if you'd like to hear some stuff, otherwise...wait. I've realized the love of my life is a business ceo because I'm a very serious and driven person with a lame sense of humor. that is all. ps nanowrimo=hell xD hohyeah
