~Weeping Cherry Blossom~

Spoiler
I am a cherry blossom,
But I must wilt again.
By day I am admired;
My cheery façade.

I am not known to weep.
Nonetheless I shower the ground
With my withered blooms,
Transparent remains
Of a short-lived happiness
As fragile as my paper thin leaves.

Trembling;
Exposed to sunlight
That looks
Like cheap water colour paints.

It will rain again.
But only at night
When all are asleep.
I do not dream,
Illusions bore me.
*Life goes on within you and without you.*

~The Journey of Unspoken Words~

Spoiler
I am a contradiction,
An inconvenience
And a bad taste in your mouth.
You try to wash me away
With torrents
Of apparent truth.

I try to play obedient.
I stitch my lips up with silence.
The words sting at the back of my throat
And creep up towards my mouth.
But I keep it shut.
And so they end up as tears instead.
*Life goes on within you and without you.*

~Twelve Eight Four~
Spoiler
Choose your strokes
Make the shapes
The wakes
Take breaths
Count fluttering kicks.
Over and over.

Twelve laps
On my back.
Stop.
Turn Over
Eight.
Stop.
Breathe
Pretend to be fine
Do four more
Sink to the tiles below.
*Life goes on within you and without you.*

~Thirsty~

Spoiler
The well sucked dry
But I always doubted the water
Always tried to find flaw in its translucency
But never letting it spill.

I never thought I would need it
Convinced myself it was bitter
Acidic
Deadly.

But then I would taste it
Just for the thirsty's sake
And I would spit it out
But remember the taste.

Now all that's left is crags
And motes
And I feel thirsty.
*Life goes on within you and without you.*

~Ritual~

Spoiler
No voodoo dolls
Or the stink of bush fires.
Just an escape
From exactly that.


Don't know if this counts but,WHATEVER!! IT'S 30 POEMS THAT NEED TO BE WRITTEN!!

~Calling Me~

Spoiler
I was trying to escape,
You were trying to invade.
And as I shooed You out,
Voices lingered.
With out even being used.

I pressed my nose against the locked windows
And saw only stars;
Prayed their light could shatter glass.
But yet,
It only illuminated what I so craved.

So I threw myself beneath the rough covers
And pretended
That I could feel the milky moonlight,
Instead of cotton/polyester mix.

I fluffed the feather pillows
And buried myself beneath them.
I muffled the sound of
Your velvet voice
And my refusing screams.
But all this while I swear
Something else was calling me.
*Life goes on within you and without you.*
------George Harrison
