I am the summer wind
I am Puck, your fairy friend
I am the sunlight in the leaves
I am the place where all dreams end.
Come dance with me, and whisper my words
Words of creation, of youth, of life.
The world is yet young, to my reckoning, at least.
Tomorrow is far away; yesterday never was.
Feel with me, breathe with me
Ride me as I ride you
our proverbial leap-frog of laughter.
Be not my master, and Ill not be yours.
Drink of me, eat of me
Dont worry, take your fill.
I am plenty to share,
and enjoy sharing myself with you.
Sing to me, sleep with me
Touch softly your hand to mine
Watch the world grow soft
He feels his fathers hand,
oh so cold!
clearly on his cheek.
It keeps coming.
He knows it isnt his fathers fault-
the bottle swinging from a hand made him this way.
And the eviction notice on the door put the bottle in his hand.
It doesnt stop the hand.
She hears her mothers words,
oh so bold!
clearly in her head.
She knows her mother sees the tears,
and knows her mother isnt to blame.
Sure, mom wont let her girlfriend in the house,
but thats not moms fault, and she knows it.
She sees the fear, the quiet panic,
running behind moms eyes, the terror someone may find out
I was walking along today,
you know, how everyone just randomly walks along with no purpose?
All the time, I'm sure.
Anyways, I was walking along, and saw something-
a puzzle piece.
It looked so sad, floating there in the puddle of a rain long past.
Soggy.
Alone.
Forlorn.
As chance would have it, it was outside a toy shop.
In the window, under a warm glow,
a puzzle sat, each piece fitting perfectly with those next to it.
Complete.
Resplendent.
Content.
I watched that puzzle piece float for a minute,
ruminating on it.
Then I went back on my way, wandering through the world.
Remember, remember, the fifth of November; the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should e'er be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, in wisdom bold
called 'pon a tradition millennia old
with powder and flame proclaiming distaste
laying the Parliament halls to waste.
A country in need, a State indeed,
unable to change, unwilling to bleed,
hung by the neck 'fore the world's eyes
the citizen whom it should most prize.
A seed was planted, a crack appeared
realising all the mighty State feared.
Revolution was planted in the citizen's heart-
the hanging of Fawkes provided the start.
Mr. Charming sat alone and threw his crown away,
royalty discarded all because of one day.
He could smile in his sleep forevermore,
but his head just kept on saying "That ain't what dreaming is for."
Sleeping Beauty slept away in a far away place,
Mr. Charming couldn't find her- you could tell by his face.
His trusty steed, it was in need, he couldn't go because
his fairy tale wasn't all he thought that it was.
Simple explanations kept him moving through life,
hopes and dreams and courage helped him search for his wife.
Trouble seemed to loom, courage started to fail
Mr. Charming watched his hopes and dreams derail.
He fought hims
I am alone.
I learned what that meant today, for the first time. Felt the weight of that realization push down on me, pressing my nose to the dirt.
It has nothing to do with who is around you; I can deal with being left by myself. I am not such an asshole that I cannot stand my own company. Rather, loneliness is a scenario.
You are alone when you don't belong. You are alone when there are thousands around you, interacting, but you are unwanted, intruding. You are alone when nobody will catch you when you fall, as you inevitably will.
You are alone when all you hold dear is held out of reach.
The kiss of metal
the touch of death
the beatless heart
the lack of breath
Bloodless brain
lifeless eyes
this is how
the body dies
Broken dreams
trampled hope
broken spirit
hung with rope
Kill the hope
before his eyes
this is how
the dreamer dies
Painful thoughts
and empty mind
Useless brain
no truth to find
Kill the spark
behind his eyes
this is how
the thinker dies
A bleeding soul
a broken heart
life in pieces
torn apart
Put the tears
back in his eyes
this is how
the lover dies
A broken heart
a trampled hope
a hopeless love
no way to cope
In his hand
the pen that lied
this is how
the author died
There will be a day.
There will be a day,
when we can smile,
and we can laugh,
and nobody will intrude.
There will be a day,
when we can be close,
and can be touching,
and nobody will care.
There will be a day,
when we can wrestle,
and we can play,
and nobody will stare.
There will be a day,
when I can love you,
and you can love me,
and nothing else will matter.
There will be a day.
I promise.
A single teardrop falls,
fat, crystalline, perfect.
Time stops, frozen completely.
A single tear, so small
yet so infinte. Within it,
a reflection of the universe.
I can see it all;
the people who would
as long as they could,
see us separate.
Those who are threatened,
Those who would threaten,
Those who are frightened,
Those who would frighten.
And I see you.
I see your smile.
It expands to fill the tear,
infectious and contagious.
The moment passes.
The tear falls,
and shatters on the ground.
But the smile lingers.
"There's a hole in the world like a great black pit, and it's filled with people who are filled with shit, and the vermin of the world inhabit it..." I turned and looked at him.
"Excuse me?" I turned and stared at him. Blond, gelled hair, dress shirt, and a broad smile. Kinda cute, in that superficial way only a certain breed of people can master. He blushed when he noticed my stare, and his grin died a little, winding up as a small, embarrassed grin.
"Sorry, had Sweeney Todd stuck in my head. And Lord knows, the only way to get rid of a good song stuck in your head is to sing it." Oh, great, he had a lisp.
"... But in study hall?"
"Well,

A sunny day in the park. There is a single bench CENTRE stage. GOD is sitting on the LEFT side of the bench. He has long, white hair and a long, white beard, and is wearing a simple white robe. He is reading a newspaper. Enter PETER from the RIGHT. He is wearing black pants, leather shoes, a white shirt and a garish, comical tie. He is carrying a paper bag.

I have a monster living underneath my bed.
Hes made up of burnt frog skin, white-red cobweb veined eyes and a collection of missing pebble teeth. Sometimes we play scrabble.
(The first time he was just a mechanical hum beneath the bowing wooden planks, he was just a faint smell of green and he was just a hot cloud of fog around my lips. Its the wind, its the wind, I breathed. Then he breathed back, heavy and loud and monster-like; AM NOT.)
He always spoke in capitals; MONSTERS ARE MUCH TOO SCARY FOR LOWER-CASED LETTERS, he informed me one night under pink covers. I shined the flashlight into his eyes until they changed co

All Those Insignificant Places
You look so cold standing on that wooden floor
Your feet are naked, your head is sore
You shake your hair like a dog from the rain
And you whisper to me that youre going insane
You tell me theres no way anyone
could possibly love you cus youre so undone
You tell me youre hopeless, that youre a lost cause
But youre just having trouble seeing past your flaws.
Ive been to London, Ive been to Paris
Ive been to Rome and Ive been to Venice
And none of those places come close in my mind
To the feeling I get when our feelings align.
Theres so many people in this universe

Before Conner even had time to react, his mother had taken him into her arms,"Conner James, don't you ever do that to me again."
Conner bit his lip, "If everything's okay at home, I won't."
His mother tensed slightly. She pulled away and put her hands on his shoulders, "...Your father's not happy."
"I know."
"But he's willing to fix this."
"Mom, there's nothing to fix!"
"He's willing to compromise."
"What is there to compromise? I date girls, I stay at home?"
"That's not it. Please, just come home and talk to him."
Conner paused, "...Okay. I'll have to take my car, though. After rehear-"
"Now, Conner. You can't put it off forever."
"...I know

I totally feel like a jerk doing this, but it's kind of needed.
My boyfriend is going to college, and due to really unfortunate circumstances, really needs money. So he's applying for scholarships. In force.
One of them is determined by how many people join a site. So if you could all go to http://www.cappex.com/?code=RMK8645 and create a profile, that would be totally awesome. Make sure you enter the code RMK8645 if it asks for one.
Again, this would really help him go to college, and actually allow us to live in the same state. So I'd really appreciate if any student reading this could take the time to go do that.

I've decided to make my deviantART page more of a portfolio of polished, publishable work I'm proud of than it is.
So my irregular (nonexistent) posting is going to get slower, that means. Every piece I post is going to go on my blog, and after a period of time, I'll move it over here, if I like it enough. So this account will no longer be the bleeding (eyes) edge.
I will also be migrating my writing that is either incomplete or that I am not completely satisfied to the scraps category of my blog.
You will still be able to find everything on my blog, just to be clear.
On the bright side, my account will only actually have the stuff I like
Likewise =] I love your writing. <3 And I recognize that last quote from your signature... can't remember who said it though... this is going to drive me nuts...
