Joint poem. written by other person and me. we remain anonymous.. cos it's the internet.

the sky filled my lungs 

and I rested 

exhaling grey ravens 

and breathing in the lonesome doves 

my eyes shattered and my vision fogged 

and then I sat, broken hearted 

with a torn photograph and watercolors

with my cheek an unloved Rembrant 

i painted my escape upon the walls in my heart i drowned my brushes in red 

and painted a smile on my lips 

the lips that tied the knot 

as i choked on the words i won't ever say 

and I hung on love forgot 

rushing towards an endless sleep

Fun Descriptions.. I got bored.

The words dripped from her mouth like pearls-elegant and striking. She raised and lowered her cigarette airily like a significant wave or gesture to an imposer, beckoning them forward. (fun starts here) Her lips lulled in lazy licks pouring out pampered precociously paragraphs. Her sentences stirred seductively then suddenly shifted, souring into a sneer as she spat sparks of gossip from so innocent a face. (end of fun) And that sweet smell of vanilla that once hovered around her movements turned putrid as she threatened at the necks of all those enticed by her facade.

(author notes..hahaha)

i probably should take out all those fun things, but i really think they are cool.

She whistled out an almost circuitous string of words. It hung in the air like smoke from firworks-the aftermateh of a lost breathing thing melting slowly into the universe as she coaxed her story to life once more.

I saw the ghost of a smile in your shadow

as I wrote your name in the sand.

We held hands on the beach

but you soon slipped from my vision.

I was dragged in..

One Version of Love:

We sang love songs 

As blood curdled in our mouths

Saliva stretched itself over words

Starved of art, we drank wine

We mutually craved the other--

A carnivorous ripping of the flesh

I held your heart in the last scraps of skin

Until you stole my breath away.

But all they saw was hate.
