"NIGHT LONG"
*This society is seeming, if you can't not and haven't involve in atrocious things you seem counted out in the society.*
How does it feel?
Don't you wish you picked anything else?
Don't you wish for a brand new self?
For a price, just your life...
I can set you free
i'm stuck in a game of tug of war.
on one side is my desire to please him --
the other, my insatiable hunger for less serious,
tall,
dark,
handsome pleasures.
I look at you and I see so much you have hidden from others and the world.All your pain, the untold fears, the scars and even the thought of deathhas plagued your mind once upon a time.I speak to you looking in your eyes,
Dear Old Me,
Hello back there.
It's me, your future self.
Go sit down,
Prepare to frown
But know it won't last long.
I know you are
So innocent,
Though you may be rotten.
He stands in the cornerShade a shadow of black thoughts in my headDraws weights in my skin drawing out
The pipes played as the piano sang along its keys, while twelve ladies danced,
Travelling across with unprecedented beauty.
Step by step. No falter could be seen.
Elegance and grace surrounded the sisters.
Do not fall in love with a sandy haired, blue eyed boy.
He will clumsily walk along the edge of the sidewalk with a stick in his hands.
Awkward laughter lingering in the cold of february,
When I close my eyes all I see is darkness,
then I open my eyes all is see is light.
So, I crawled beneath my bed
There's an intangible outside force that consumes me.
It's dark, fierce, and rugged.
I become enveloped by it, wrapped in its jaws, as I aimlessly fall into its deep, boundless abyss.
I can hear him
whisper in my ear,
he calls my name,
controls me with fear.
These vile demons
running in my head,
live in my dreams
and beneath my bed.
I feel guilty.
Falling
Down, down
Reaching
Up, up
Trying to grasp onto a lifeline
To save me from the shadows lurking behind
Following me everywhere I go
Hiding in the depths of my mind
The moon
herself will hide
shamed in your light. How then
could this mortal hide, his madness
for you!
If there's one thing I should ask you,
if there's one thing you're to keep
well-kindled into memory, it's
"Don't let me fall asleep."
He can only reach out through my dreams;
to slumber's my mistake.
Krytonite,
It's not your full lips,
Your sleepy wanting eyes,
The way you kiss my hips
Or shake my thighs.
Temptation,
It's the fact that I feel vulnerable for the first time,
I’m 60% water
Every cell in my body is living
For that intricate H2O
I persevere to stretch
My ambitions
To be boundless
Like the water
That sneaks and slides
For you,I'd hand the sun over on a silver platterB r i g h t and a i r y,Enveloping you in warming rays of goldI'd compliment the way it shaped your face-Silhouetting the bones beneath the surface
How to avoid getting burned
If the flames feel so good
From righteousness I have turned
Eating the forbidden fruit
Immortality is my wish
I kill myself
Slowly but surely
Because I delve
Into black lagoons.
The darkest depths
Swaddle me, surrounding
Everybody experiences it
Temptation.
What should
Make your
Any different than
Everybody elses?
We are all
HUMAN
We all face
DIFFICULTY
That is what makes us
Who we are
I ache for the scent and the touch of your skin
The tingles that tangle me from within
The plump bloody rush that courses unsimmed
The pleasure thrilling each soft settled skim
A fear that cannot be tamed
An evil that cannot be forsaken
A scream that cannot be heard
These are the demons
Who haunt us every day
Who taunt the sanctity of salvation
We're taught to read and comprehend,
to understand each word written,
even the reason for the order they're in.
We're taught to write,
our feelings exposed on a thin sheet of lines,
Lazy days and dogs that won't stir,
I hope you're happy
I hope that you're
Sincerly relaxed and seriously invested
In the ethical victories over those you've bested.
The devil is chasing me
Always has been
Since the day I was conceived
He tries to make me give in
Though there're many enticements
And many temptations
"I've Learned" by Nicholas Jones.In my 18 years of life,I've yearned for happiness,And I've yearned for strife,I've learned of death,And I've learned of life,
Pulsating through my body is a dark light -
A light darker than any night.
My eyes look like liquid fire-
I spread my black wings, and fly higher and higher.
Skipping daintily on his merry little toes
The Pied Piper plays his tune.
And laughing happily as he goes
His eyes do glisten like the moon.
He beckons on with fiery force
The life of light is sweet,
The still of dark is not
As I sit here and weep,
My heart begins to rot.
My life without a smile,
The life of light is sweet,
The still of dark is not
As I sit here and weep,
My heart begins to rot.
My life without a smile,
I shall repent? I shall forgive? Woe is me. God will you listen please! Don't let it be. Don't shy away, have you seen what sin has done to me? There's a hole in my heart where hell has been bestowed upon me. Forever and a day...
an exhausted skelleton
merely clanking, rotting bones
huming hushed whispered memories
walking along this dark enclosed tunnel
lost and forgotten
the purposes
the motivation of continuing
Intrigued by your mystery,
captivated by your suspense, but you're
Forbidden.
Like eve nothing can stop this desire,
you radiate
Temptation.
Walls, built sturdy and tall.Doors, built to let people in.These walls make a tower, I threw away the key.All in an effort, to keep you from me.
She said we'll never talk about it again
That doesn't mean she won't think about it
I did wrong
And I feel like shit
Why do I always fall into the Devil's temptations?
You’ve Got Mail
I remember the movie well;
Full of incomparable romance,
Soul-mates of a sort
Long since found
I could paint you a portrait. But I'd
Rather hand you this photograph.
I was only seventeen. She was my temptation
On my heart you'll spot her autograph
Decorated with Love and a lot of laughs
Mysteries dash across his face from the flickering flames,
Telling me of conceived lies and untold treacheries.
Staring aimlessly his storm blue eyes invite me in his mischief.
Like flowers growing in the winter, you want to know my secret.
A rose growing from concret, I'm unique.
An incomplete puzzle, I'm the piece you need.
A book with no pages, what is my story.
I have tasted the sweetness of a fruit that no one has had the courage to expel. It is the fruit that with such flavor brought down the world and created the hell that burns us with its tongue of desire. Oh, to have a bite is a simple delight.
A dance of sorts,
Fast like a tango,
Slow like a waltz,
And a little quick
Like a cha cha tap.
I dance to its beat
Whether is 1 or 3
Turning and turning
Until my legs get weak.
(poems go here)She lays in wait for her next play
She does not waste her time at all
She jumps at every chance she gets
And leads a man to his down fall
Beautifully wrapped, glisten with moisture.
Your perfume is an intoxication.
You should be illegal.
But no, you are temptation.
Like a doll, a glass divides us.
Decorations surround you but
Running from the Sensation you create,
Sexual Feelings increase my heart rate.
Shivering from the emotional roller coaster,
Accidental crash sends my nerves flying high over.
