If there’s anyone I’ve ever met who made me think so much of magic and fairy tales, it’s her. Nothing on her part, really; she was a punk, down to the pieces of cloth pinned to her bag with antiwar missives after September 11th. It was just her general appearance. I have an artist’s eye, even though I can’t well render what I see, and she would have been right at home in gauzy clothes are glittering diamond-paneled wings.

your beauty like a fire
creats a state serene.

Smile like a pearl
intellect so keen
eyes like burning jewels*
stern but never mean.

As your fire calls me
to a place that's yet to be
I'll trudge through the blizzards
to a hope in which I believe.

The Wrong Crutch To Stand Upon

(Part I)

The tide of pain had washed over me
Left in an evaporating pool
Trapped and forever wanting out
Thinking there’s only one way to be free

I’ve been left with only questions
To build a bridge over deadly waters,
To build a roof over me head,
But it’s nothing without answers

To most my news was never new
It was all so predictable

We sang with you
Some of us danced

We had our good times,
bad, and alright

we never did fight.

And wonder just how many times you've cried...

Ramblings of the Rhyming Love-Struck Fool - Rhiannon Ashburn

Another emotion I'll have to hide.

As I surround myself with lies.

They pierce through the dark of night.

Broken - Rhiannon Ashburn

Ebony shadows caress my skin
As the ground swal-lows my footsteps
Running away from everything I know
Hoping the world will forget about me

And as these tears con-tin-ue to fall
I realize I’m broken beyond repair

One hundred years
I’ve slept within this tree
Waiting for your return

Now I’ve been released;
awakening at your touch

My heart soars
to be together again
But you do not remember
Our past lives

Yet it does not matter
For I still hold our memories
Deep within my heart

I will always love you,
Though you may not see

Laying beneath my white plaster sky
Staring at stick-on stars,
I can close my eyes,
Escape inside my mind.
I can be with you there.

Under our black velvet sky,
Marveling at pinpoints of light.
They shine for you and I
Alone.
Nothing can touch us here.

Hesitantly, I open my eyes,
Not wanting to leave you.

Impaled by your harsh words
Lost between
That cliche scene
Of the flock of birds
Fluttering in their unanimous confusion
Bumping and grating together
In a struggle to escape danger
A perfect representation
A more meaningful recreation
Of how I am towards you
The constant time I whittle
So I can have little
Or no connection and contact

Disembowelled by your pointed glance
Turning away
Towards the new day

Hell


The walls,
they're closing in.
The ceiling,
it's crumbling above me.
The floor,
it's breaking into a million pieces.
And as the floor gives way,
I stand on a lone island,
trying not to fall into the black abyss below.
I spin slowly, watching my world shatter around... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Atlantis Flames) http://thegatesofhornandivory.yuku.com/topic/6054 Fri, 02 May 2003 15:37:27 GMT <![CDATA[ Happiness is Nothing ]]> http://thegatesofhornandivory.yuku.com/topic/6055/t/Happiness-is-Nothing.html

Happiness is nothing.
It makes me wonder why

There’s no such thing as being happy.

And ask them, “Have you ever lied?”
They’ll probably say “Of course not!”,

Is Love Really Worth It?

Is love really worth the pain,
The eternal hurting that shall never heal?
Is love really worth the longing,
For a lover's gentle touch.

Is love really what others say,
A bond never to be broken?
Is love really worth the loneliness

To slip into nothingness
to become nothingness
no sight
no sound

Swirling torrent
mesmerizing colors
pulling to nothingness
then....

Kneeling before a tree
blade point down in reverence
tunic loose and stained
grass gently swaying

a NOISE
jolting pain...
about to understand
so close, so far
