~Dusty Skies~

Spoiler

Dry season
Fires
Everything two shades too yellow

Dry season
Sirens
Everything smells like smoke

I never thought I would call the skies dusty
Or be able to taste trees on breeze

I never did think the skies could have clouds
That held only ashes
Or simply held no rain

Fires
Coughs
Two steps away from water and scared of death by fire

If only I could live in the sea
And I would look up and marvel at the dusty skies
And hear the sirens wail

First poem for NaPoWriMo about dry season in the tropics...hope you like it Skyexxx

It's gorgeous, Skye. I especially love these moments:

Everything two shades too yellow

Because colors are so strong, and this emphasis works well.

Or be able to taste trees on breeze

Because it's new! Usually we taste fresh trees and flowers on the breeze, right? But yours have burned to ash, so it's a different taste. Novel and exciting. Nice!

you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants
are you a green room knight yet?
have you read this week's Squills?

~Sea Of Glass~

Spoiler

When I look upon you
I see my reflection glimmer on your surface
Not liquid
But Glass you are
Blown into a cresting mass
By some phantom Italian

No wonder Jesus could walk on your surface
He's in cahoots with the glass blowers
All

Oh yes,I know
Cool you can seem
The ships can sail and the tourists can float
In illusion

I don't gain that pleasure
For it seems I am the only one
That can feel the cerulean shards
Piercing my heart
And drawing fresh fear

Obviously I don't like the sea. >.<

*Life goes on within you and without you.*

Oooh Skye, your first one is really interesting. I live in like humidville, so it was cool that you were able to bring this experience of living in dryheat.

No wonder Jesus could walk on your surface
He's in cahoots with the glass blowers

You have no idea how much I love this. You have such unique ideas! Your voice particularly shines through in the above line, ahh haa <3

'Tis the season! Donate your poetry.

~Sweet Red~

Spoiler

Can I be sweet?
The nail polish bottle says I can.
Liar.

So I trusted it.
I slid the dripping brush
Over my rounded nails.
I could never stand having talons.

According to the bottle,
I should be sweet now.
My nails feel heavy
Look like some part of me
That I have never seen.

They are not a part of me.
No part of me comes from a glass bottle.
The parts of me that are sweet
Sure aren't red.

But,
Now my nails are.
I have no remover.

This is what happens when I paint my nails. Oh well -__-

~Liquid Thoughts~

Spoiler

I now understand
That little thing called stream of thought.
For my thoughts were never
Carried on trains,
Or by clouds.

Nor is my mind
A pasture,
Holding jumping sheep.
I wouldn't be able to
Shear all that wool.

No,
My mind is some glade
With many shadows,
Where things can hide
Without my knowledge.

In that glade
Is a stream.
Here the thoughts form
And pool
And Flow

Pebbles and dirt.
Sanity.
A rock bottom.
Flotsam and jetsam
On the surface.

I like that stream,
I go there to bathe
And feel cool.
For the sea is glass,
But this stream is mine.

Randomness! But I suppose that happens when you need to write something new everyday.
Skyexxx

~Helen~

Spoiler

Golden hair,
Streaming down her shoulders
And over wriggling arms.

Hazel eyes,
They hold so much light
And her eyelashes are like whisks,
Throwing shadows on her flushed cheeks.

When words flow from her mouth,
I swear they are little gifts;
Wrapped in delicate,scented phrases,
Brimming with joy.

And even when my arms hurt
From hugging her too tight,
I would never hesitate
To carry her a thousand miles.

This is for my cousin Helen....she's seven and I love her so much and I'm so happy I can spend time with her! <3

~That Lovely Little Clique~

Spoiler

I see no light on those eyes,
The faces are illuminated,
Yes
But by plastic phones.
Seems like I've learnt a new trick.
That might save me from using joy

Joy that came from days of talking,
Of making shapes in the air,
With my limbs and my hair.
You,
Your only shape is a "c".
I'll make sure to slip the chiropractor's card,
Into your mothers purse before I leave.

Why don't you come with us,
Be-dazzled one
and see our ways?
"Can't you just send me the link?"
You say.
Oh I would,if only
I knew
That you would somehow follow some day.

But how could you walk
As far as me
In your skinny jeans?

"Walk?You mean,no AC?
Poor thing,
You've thought yourself to forget.
When instead you could learn to teach.

Then again
I suppose you need nothing;
Chained as you are
To that lovely little clique.

I wrote this at a party........fuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.

~Bottle Green~

Spoiler

Bottle green is no longer a colour
Nor is red sweet.
A storm in a teacup feels too real
When I see your diluted eyes
And hear your heavy tongue move.
And see the wine spill.

I really didn't want to write this.......no...I didn't.

~The Weight of Words~

Spoiler

It's a little habit of mine,
Testing the weight of words
Against my tongue.

I shape them there in my mouth
Like gobstoppers
Or capsules I can't swallow.
But I never do swallow them
The words or the tablets.
There's just no place for them within me.

So there they are
In the air
And in your mind.
I'm sorry

If I misjudged.
I wanted those words to float
Like downy feathers;
Wanted them to tickle remote parts
Of your mind.

I swore they would
Ripple like silk
If you said them again.
Instead

They sunk
And sat
Like stones.
Why would you want to
Drag that back up your throat?

I pictured them like pressed flowers;
Airy and transparent.
But it seems
To press my words you need two tables
And many bricks.

~Poetry in Kohl~

Spoiler

Maybe this was stupid.
Maybe you would care
That your tool of vanity has been reduced to a stub
All in the name of cursing your ways
Through poetry.

So what.
I'm doing what you did;
Outlining my eyes.
In a way.

You don't need eyeliner anyways,
Your eyes pop at the first sight
Of plastic.
We live in a plastic world.

But,
If you really miss it that bad,
I'll send you some
Poetry in kohl.

I used my cousin's eyeliner to write the poem "Lovely Little Clique"...teehee

~Have a Nice Day~

I swear
Someday their gold teeth are going to fall out
If they keep making that noise.
"Sweeting" it's called.
Yay,I feel like a princess now.

Please just leave me alone.
I am busy.
You are ugly.
Have a nice day.
Get the picture

Or does it need
To be tattooed on your face
Although,the way things are looking,
It may be hard to find room.

But one thing I know
If you come one step closer,
Or call me "babes"
One more time,
Those Li'l Wayne tears
May not be just ink.

As I said.
I am busy.
You are ugly.
Have a nice day![/spoiler]

So there were some idiots trying to "get with me" today and I'm pretty sick of guys like this.
But hey,have a nice day!
