please leave your message after the beep
i'm not exactly sure what type of message i want to leave
i want to tell you that everything is going alright but it's really not
i'd like to be able to tell you that i will protect you always
but that's not how it's going to happen, because i don't love you, not
anymore anyways
i don't know where i'm going with my life but you don't belong
not here or there or anywhere within in my life
so once more i'm gonna say it and this time you're gonna listen

goodbye

i talk gossip and work in the kitchen
you work out front saying prayers
i'm shorter than most of you all by at least three small inches
it's odd to be short once again
but at least i'm back to being in charge

from the jam

Queen Elizabeth's Edge of Darkness
Color: White
Picture: magnolia flowers
Scent: freshly mowed grass


at dawn i see the golden sun rising,
on the light blue-ish background
it being danced all over by white clouds
and i can hear the people starting to
mow their lawns and i just want the next hour to come
for the ladies in hot pink hats and little brown dogs
to galavant their way around the garden
and scream about how the workers aren't doing things right

at noon i eat lunch out on the porch
(as usual)
and i'm waiting for someone to come check
i see all the magnolia flowers dropping on the ground
the red seeds staining the green grass like blood
smelling the fine shavings of grass particulates
takes me back to a memory of someone in a white dress
trying to get away from an anniversary
a party where everyone is depressed
(they don't hide it well)

then twilight hits and the colors of the rays strike in the sky
(in very amazing ways)
i can't decide to go with the black or the white
never knowing what to wear,
when it comes tonear night

they tell me the party begins at dusk
(wonderful bats dotting the sky)
and they complain about the lawn
(the shavings still flying)
and they want me to stand straight and tall
(otherwise i might not catch a man at all)
maybe i should just go ahead and stand against that wall
(or any other thing dearest, anything at all)

the dark night hits and their party rages on
i'm left sitting hopeless and all my dreams gone
i just want to get away from this party
but unfortunately, the whole thing is for me
for you see

this was my southern belle sweet 16

from tonight's jam
Queen Lizz's Corner
let this lighten the mood a bit cause i'm swapping it with another and i'm gonna start screaming this at the top of my lungs pretty soon
https://youtu.be/blW9AWIP8ZU

Your song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eNZMaYY-EE

not quite sure of the road we're on this time
but love will soon come out to meet us in
some strange field on the next side of
the galaxy. i'd like a vulcan priest to
be there at our matrimonial thing.
i guess that's the right word to
describe it, something long
like the sort of word your
family used while judg-
ing me. maybe i was
not the best choice
but at that point
we didn't have
many things
to choose
from or
do you
not
know
of the last time we met

the last time we met the blood rushed through my cheeks
and the emotions flowed over my head
to the point where it flooded like tears through my eyes
i didn't think that you were ever coming back again

each time you come back to me,
from long treks across the universe,
i find my way of life and opinions changing,
to the point where my thoughts have become
something that you or anyone else would call optimistic

this is something new to me, to be happy about a new day coming
to thinking that someone i will love will definitely be coming
back for me once before, and not leaving me alone on
this battlefield, that used to be mine along and i never
brought anyone else along.
this is a different type of journey that i've dragged you to this time,
not the usual dot across the world, where we just jump when-
ever the time strikes us too. it's been two years and i'd
like to explore the world around me, and that includes
a special person named you.

come with me if you like on the trip of a lifetime
or i'll just send you postcards as i meet the ghost of our once called idols
of the people we said we wished we would meet in heaven
(that is if any of them actually made it there)
but i know that you want to see her the most
i know it's been four years but i also know, that you never quite let go of
that distant, distant memory where we were
once happy and not bothered by the day to
day depression and sickness and sadness bringing your family dreams
down.

i am
still in
that state
of thinking that
i made the best
choice i possibly
could with the world
starting to come down on
me and all. i'm out on the
road again trying to find some love
in the darkness of my memories of you
and me dancing somewhere in some backlit
cafe. those are the days i dream of once again
and make me think so optimistically about love, not
something i ever got used to, even after years of being with
you. it's still somehow different to me and even more now that
you are gone forever and i never took the time to really get to know you

and as the red sun rose
i saw your bloody nose
it dripped onto the floor
and there was a trail to the door
now I've got to help you
and hopefully you'll help me too

I think sometimes if I shut my eyes
Maybe this whole word will just
Simply fade away from my
Sight and go swiftly into
The newest and darkest
Knight

04/19/17

i don't quite want to go on my way
but seeing you really just makes me want to stay
even more than the feeling i had
before. this may sound strange or a bit late, since
you already left a long time ago,
but you know i always mean what i really want to say.
i wish you weren't gone from me,
and that i could just fly across sea and take you back
to the carolinas with me. that
can't happen but we can still dream about what it would
be like, if we were on the same
side of the pacific sea.

I wish to have another day, like the one we had so long ago.
Where we spoke purely in song lyrics, testing each other's
knowledge of pop culture and such. I was truly happy on
that and so many other days, in ways which you would
no longer understand. I haven't seen the lyricist in
your heart lately, the person who would write songs
with me until dawn.

Where oh where has that person,
that part of my heart, gone?

oh hey
time for some teenage angst
and the dropping of f-bombs every three feet.
you may call it a yard but to me, it's just an inch,
an inch away from my death and my demise.
not that this growing up and going through hell would bother you,
or even something recognizable to you.
for what is a man without a soul?
not a demon for they are just twisted humans.
he is something that lived outside of the so cows and outside of his mind.
dare not cross into my world man
or in your heart,
you shall find a stake.

Poem for 4/23
Couldn't get the page to load last night so putting it up now

One day the devil took me for a walk.
He said to me, "You're god and I'm Satan and we'll be friends for all of eternity."
This struck me oddly, for how could I trust the devil, even though he soon became my friend.
The Devil and God, had found peace at last.
Neither of us really believed in such things but my young mind fell prey to the evil.
I slipped further and further away from my grace,
and closer and closer to my grave,
not wanting to admit the direction in which I was headed.
So I finally left my two warring sides, kicked the angel off my left and the demon off my right.
I fell from grace and my soul ripped in two and I plummeted towards the grave, till the devil came back and paid his respects and dues.
I walk upon average ground, not above nor below.
I thank the devil for his lessons but I doubt we'll ever be close again.
