Greater Pastures by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Greater Pastures

The grass is always greener On the other side of the field Out of reach, out of your league… Are forbidden fruits as sweet as they say? In a field full of poisonous ideals The grass will never be as sweet, Or soft…only new. Was it worth it? And your heart grows ill With the unfamiliar and the guilt Taking its toll, this is what you signed on for… Is it everything you'd hoped for? In a field full of pesticides Your soul is left there to die Along with your heart… Will you miss them? The grass seemed so much greener On the other side of the field Shiny, new…and tainted. I hope it was worth it.

Shades of Gray by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Shades of Gray

Today is gray like your eyes under dingy lamplight in our favourite corner café… Foreboding in that electric kind of way. So I took a walk to clear my head, and saw the children at play… Their laughter spilled yellow and broke like sun rays through a thick fog. It was muted though, by greens in shades of envy and naivety… As young lovers quarreled over trivial tragedies. I crossed an elderly couple, and tried to soak up their wisdom… But was blinded by the brilliant white passion they still held for each other. While my heart warmed I was distracted by a boy whose face was shadowed in the deepest blue… As though he'd crossed oceans t

Bedtime Goodbyes by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Bedtime Goodbyes

"Now I lay me down to sleep A sorry rhyme my soul doth weep Chanting, craving, wanting more, Please give what I've been searching for… Dreams of scandal, Dreams of lust Dreams of what I want for us… Hopes for lovers, Hopes for fate, Hopes for whispers, dark and late… Make me breathless, Make me plead, Make me want you, make me need… Hold me closer, Hold me tight, Hold off morning's placid light… Keep me safe, Keep me warm, Keep me here until the dawn… Wish I may, Wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight…"

What You Deserve by superstitious13, literature

Literature

What You Deserve

Imminent as the fall of the sun When it's time for lunar radiance to prevail Is my feeling of complete contempt Towards your masochistic sense of destruction If even in the slightest form. Subservience has served you well In all inane ramblings relating To the sorry(sordid) condition of your life(lies) It would appear that my utter abhorrence

Disillusioned Devotion... by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Disillusioned Devotion...

"I miss you and the way you used to be. I miss your morning kisses and your daisy crown good-byes Summer soft and simple, virgin-skin electric. Chiffon vows in colours made to dazzle, Promising in a transparent sort of way You never ceased to amaze… For I never ceased to make believe… So you kept on dancing like the dream you were, Covered in midnight-blue illusions beneath starlight Untouched by the darkness just beyond your reach. Your four-leaf clover smile bringing just enough luck For me to feel a heartbeat. I miss that feeling, and the way you used to be. I miss your cherub's breath and your satin-silk care

To Fall on Deaf Ears by superstitious13, literature

Literature

To Fall on Deaf Ears

Open your ears, lovely Because I'm screaming something you can't quite catch (A reality you can't quite grasp) Close your eyes, darling And maybe you will feel this wretched agony (This hole is where my heart should be) Spread your arms, dear Embrace these flaws for a queer perfection (Misguided souls and misdirection) Shut down your senses, my love These words are forming oceans and I'm drowning in naivete (Hope clings what you will not see)

A League of Our Own by superstitious13, literature

Literature

A League of Our Own

All this traffic screaming past us In a race we knew we couldn't win Because we didn't care. First base was first place in our eyes And this was a competition for suckers; Also known as lovers, Which we were, while we were Blue ribbon winners in the back of your car. But the ribbons didn't matter As they tumbled from my hair, And clattered silently Onto an upholstered playing field. You were running circles in my head Lapping every sense of common sense Which held top shelf in my trophy case …that is until you held me. Dear, your breathing got so shallow So we did the only thing we knew how; And dove in a little deeper Ben

Keeping the Faith. by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Keeping the Faith.

Keeping the Faith. As you feel my fingers slip away, don't even try to grasp the situation at hand. Never wanting to tell you that you won't understand, because I'm so afraid that you will all too well… And every night I pray to the God I don't believe in for you to find that secret part of me, hidden so deep that even I can't seem to find. My soul keeps the whispers that were meant to be heard as well as a broken heart will keep on beating. It never ceases to amaze me what wonder you hold in the palm of you hand. Wishing I could walk across it, hoping to hear what stories it would tell. To be able to shrink to the size you make me f

Another Two Day Boyfriend by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Another Two Day Boyfriend

Another one night stand without all the benefits, Hope you had fun. In the blink of an eye you grabbed your crown, and managed to create the fall of one more empire. It was just another two day boyfriend, just another heart to wear on your sleeve. You would have been better off making two dollars on the street. Let him undress you with his eyes, better hope he doesn't pull down that layer of cheap "half truths". Lost in a cloud of cheap perfume it's hard to escape what you've created, As the time drags by the second hand remains suspended, drowning in a sea of your pitiful sorrows. All eyes on you wishing for a flaw visible to all, I

Police Tape Casket by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Police Tape Casket

I can hear them screaming, why won't these wails subside? Chaos ensues, those flashing lights coaxing them all on. I took a leap of faith, I fell into my savior's arms…but who was there to catch me? They watched as I fell, I fell into a sea of meaningless tears. I lay, wrapped in sorrows, a warmth from knowing. I've left my place here, my mark has been made. Though, like myself I fear that it may be washed away with my savior's blood. This outline was for you my dear, I wore it very well. Remember the fact that I can still wear white, and I wore it on the day I married my eternal fate. Bathe your hands in my blood for all to see, so y

Untitled by superstitious13, literature

Untitled

I hate the way you look at me, like I'm never really there. I hate the secret whispers and the fingers through my hair. I hate the world around me and the life through which it breathes, I hate the hands that wander, putting pressure on my knees. I hate how easily this comes, the misery and pain, I hate the way your image is imbedded in my brain. I hate the things that comfort me, the never-ending lies, I hate the happy face you see, while underneath I cry.

Little House of Horrors by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Little House of Horrors

I wish I could quote the things you used to say, Just to be able to play them back in warp speed, maybe then I'd get the message. Leave the images in my mind playing, the picture's a little fuzzy. I guess that's all due to bad reception. Excuse me for a moment, while I pick up the pieces of my broken spirit. I'd hate for them to be an inconvenience as you tread over me. My edges left frayed, hidden under another layer of enchanting words. Time to play the hostess, just invite them all in for a peek inside. Sure they won't see what's swept underneath the rug. Drunk on deception, I doubt they'll know what happens if they happen to stum

Reflections by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Reflections

Study the world around you, Smile and nod at all of the pointless questions, Meaningless ramblings swimming in your head. Through the mirror, you try to see inside your eyes, just how deep the pain goes. A shadow of a smile on those slightly parted lips, the salty taste of tears now stinging your tongue. Let them fall, like the world around you. Who is that girl staring back? Who really cares? The eerie sadness surrounding her makes you uncomfortable in your own skin. Hard to tear yourself away from her haunting gaze. You hate the way she looks at you, like she knows just how you feel, A simple reflection of who you used to be. Th

Sugar Plum Visions by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Sugar Plum Visions

This twisted fate that's placed before us dazzles your imagination. Mournful tunes drift past you, sweet carols praising your despair. The centerpiece ablaze, keeping all who gaze upon it enraptured. The place in which we stood covered in poison oak, lest the mistletoe be forgotten. This twisted Christmas now created, let's see how it plays out, like the snowflakes never knowing quite where to land. Shake me up and try to find just what's hidden deep inside. The pretty package so carefully wrapped so no one can see the seams, afraid the broken pieces may escape, ruining the big surprise. The sugar plum visions, which dance slowly, str

Desperation and Despair by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Desperation and Despair

Young and alone, it kept me safe…a friend to protect me from all the monsters in the closet. As I grew, it followed in my footsteps…my blanket became the shadow, a second skin so hard to shed. Carved into my soul, these secrets spread like a bitter disease. Closing the door, just to block out the white noise…I hit a snag. All caught up in this twisted game. Standing naked, bathed in this new light desperation my device. Enveloping me in this lost cause, my savior took on a new life… Mine.

The Unknown by superstitious13, literature

Literature

The Unknown

Her soul is reflected in everyone's eyes but her own, To be judged by those who know her not, and never really known by those who do. The girl with the breaking heart is soon to be shattered by the ones who built up her false hopes. The girl…unknown to all, including herself, dances upon silken threads of dreams woven in a happy life long past. A life that was no more than an illusion, An illusion such as the smiles that now flutter across her lips, The lips, which once uttered such joyful sounds of laughter and words of love, now only spout the mournful cries of the unloved. Unloved…but not yet forgotten…she goes unknown to the world

Recipe for Disaster by superstitious13, literature

Literature

Recipe for Disaster

Take one empty shell, crushed by the weight of humanity. Add one bleeding heart, drained of all but hate. A vile of tears, cried by eyes which have seen more than ever needed, puts the icing on the cake. What we have here is a recipe for disaster, a bittersweet ending to an otherwise delicious meal. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, with a heart made of ice that should be no problem. I hope you enjoy it, if it weren't for you, the secret ingredient would have been missing. Innocence gives it that little something nice, something to make you smile at my misfortune. Hopefully you're full because I've got no more to give, I gue

Lust

I could feel it in every fiber of my being The very essence of who I was Shifting, transforming, melting Under your glow. My mouth hung slightly open Unladylike, what a pity. But you were so Damn gorgeous. In your tailored suit With a crimson kerchief, Top hat, and cane I was drawn to you immediately. In the deepest darkest corner Of this dirty, dingy room, We sat and discussed Literature, musicians, and art. You were there Wholly and fully, And still so Damn gorgeous. And as your perfectly crafted Devilishly tempting lips Caressed every syllable relating to Poe To Mozart, to Warhol, I lost control. I felt myself achi

The 'Buzz'

0 min read

I haven't died! Surprised? Good. Anyways, this was a free write done on Bees during writer's craft. I felt like sharing. Bumblebees, killer bees, spelling bees, A Bee C...all very different, yet so similar. (Philosophywas not always my strong suit). When I was very young, I was stung directly in the middle of my forehead by a bee. I've also stepped on a nest while playing on my swingset. For reasons like this, I am terrified of bees. The cute and fuzzy, bumbly-wumbly, buzzy-wuzzy bees scare the crap out of me. Yet, they remind me of being happy. They remind me of honeysuckle fields that go on for miles, and laughter with loved ones in the s

Mr. Babcock has posted 5 new School Year resolutions. Don't ask by School Year is capitalized. I think i probably gave it a complex. Damn. But anyways, he's tagged me, and I'm going to oblige. 1) Throw the best damn Cabaret ever to hit T.B.    It takes months of hard work, planning, overwhelming stress, and hair loss, but it must be done. This year, Vivvikins and I are going to make the sexiest, most entertaining Cabaret ever. To do this I must not procrastinate. SO easier said than done. 2) On that note....don't stress so much over Cabaret!!!!    Basically among being amazing, every year Cabaret causes multiple mental breakdowns and f
