  • Untitled III

    Sunlight dances upon
    the frost covered branches,
    unsure whether to warm up
    enough to bring the tree
    back to life.
    Silently, the maple waits
    for its leaves to bud and
    the sun to shine with bright enough
    force to warm its core.

    My heart lies dormant
    like the tree
    with shallow beats and
    colorless dreams,
    until one day you come to me—
    my sun, my daughter, my taught womb.
    For you are the unborn light,
    warmth and comfort that my
    long lost heart will continue to wait for.

  • Drowsy, painted flowers
    cross in front of my window
    beckoning for me to wake them up
    with a touch of magic.
    What magic it is that they
    think I can give
    remains a mystery to me,
    though I would love to help them.

    Floating fair haired ghosts
    of night creep past my face
    playing tricks with my eyes.
    I keep thinking I see him
    with his wrinkled skin and
    thick rimmed glasses.
    The ghosts kiss my cheeks
    with cold, frosty air
    that gives me chills and
    makes me want to cry.

    My sense of time seems slowed,
    like a ladybug stuck on the top of
    a chemical filled swimming pool--
    stuck until her wings are waterlogged
    and can no longer attempt to fly away.
    That swimming pool is closing in on me
    it seems,
    making my thoughts a blur
    my pulse slow down
    my breathing

    s     t     o     p  altogether.

  • New Make-Up

    There was a sale at Hot Topic, and there are some really cool shadows that I've always wanted, but could never justify spending the money for them.  Well, they were on sale for $.98!  So exciting :D





    From left to right: Neon Green, Teal, Neon Yellow, White and Purple.



    These are the swatches without a base. . . That's just how they look on my pasty white skin.





    These are cream shadows.  I don't have photos of the swatches that I did for them, but these cream eyeshadows aren't all that pigmented, and they aren't cream-to-powder or anything like that.  They are closer to a lip gloss, so I suppose you could use them for that.  I would use them underneath the powder shadow to help it stick better.


    Sooooo yeah.  That's all I got for today.  :)
  • Wishes of Spring

    Buttery sunlight filters
    through the screen
    of willow vines.
    The budding tulips
    break their way
    up through the muddy earth.
    Warm breezes whisp
    through the small
    children's hair--
    oh how I envy
    for those carefree
    days again.

    Though when I
    look at those
    small children,
    they fade into
    the grass on which
    they play.
    The sun is covered
    by dirty gray
    clouds, and the
    tulips retreat back
    into their bulbs.
    With a fluttering
    blink,
    and a gasp of
    cold air,
    the muddy snow
    is back
    to taunt me.

  • Remembering the Past Part I: Gym Class

    Gym class is a time for social activities, sports, and, in my case, making a complete ass out of myself.  Since kindergarten, I went through gym skimming by on my attendance and uniform points because I don't have an athletic bone in my body.  However, there was one sport that I couldn't wait for during gym class; it always got the least bit of attention, and all of the other girls were afraid of screwing up their hair and make-up, smelling bad and the guys thought that it was 'gay'. . .

    Swimming.
    That was/is my sport.  I don't do much of it now, but when I was still in school, that was the one thing that I was proud of myself for.  The one thing that I was better at than everyone else.  My heart always lept at the teacher's announcement at the beginning of December noting our decent across the parking lot to the High School pool.  It made me laugh when kids would "forget" their swim suits, or in later years, "get their period."  I'm sorry, but 15 girls don't just conveniently get their monthly gift on the same week.  (Although in truth, that did happen to me one time.  The only reason why I didn't swim that week was because it was the first time I had EVER received that. . . uhm . . . gift, and I didn't know how to use a tampon.)
    But, I digress. 
    I guess I never saw the big deal in swimming during school.  I mean, sure, it wasn't flattering to walk around smelling like a vat of chlorine, but in reality, who cares?  I walked around (as well as the rest of the 10 others on the swim team) for months smelling of chlorine.  It was my natural odor, I guess.

    I also found it funny when girls would show up to go swimming during gym class in a friggin bikini.  WTF?  Swimming laps and bikini's don't go very well together, especially when you need to dive into the water.  I had to do that once, also.  Not fun at all. 

    Swimming was the one thing that I was better at than all of my peers.  Since swimming isn't a 'cool' sport, it was overlooked and other students would pass off their lack of floating abilities to not caring because they thought it was dumb and unimportant.



    Okay, so I guess I ran out of things to write about this story.  Thought that there would be a bit more to go on, but hopefully you all enjoyed reading this none-the-less.  Does anyone have a sport that wasn't popular that they were good at?  Did other students make stupid and ridiculous excuses to get out of said sport?  I would love to know in the comments :D

  • Remembering the Past.

    So I'm thinking of doing a series of posts that include funny/happy/not so happy memories from my past.  I figure that while I'm developing my story-writing skills, I may as well start with things that I know; my past seems like an okay place to start.  It's easier to recall upon as opposed to fantasy, or things that are fictional.

    What do you guys think?  Would you be interested in reading these?

  • Wedding Dress

    So apparently I can't copy and paste the picture here to show you all . . .  I've copied and pasted the description from the website, and I'll put the link in here if any are interested in what it actually looks like.


    'Beautifully detailed, fitted bodice flows into a soft and flowing chiffon skirt. Empire waist is accented with exquisite, hand-beaded lace and ruching detail. Strapless A-line silhouette is universally flattering and oh-so-comfortable, making it an easy customer favorite. Back of gown is absolutely gorgeous with beaded lace detail from waist to hem. Chapel train. Available in Ivory or White. '

    (ignore the blue--they were links on the site)

    Link.

  • Inspired by Mary Poppins

    Sliding down the banister,
    using unbelievable magic,
    she must leave when the wind changes.
    Umbrella in hand,
    with no more than a whisper and
    a carpet bag,
    her practically perfect
    figure
    is swept off into the distance.


    I know, I'm a loser.  You don't have to tell me.

  • Those liquid diamond eyes
    penetrate my own.
    I hang onto his every word,
    like a thread; a fine, frayed thread.
    The words he speaks are whispers,
    False hopes that drift through the
    open space between us.

    No matter how hard I try,
    the strength if takes to finally
    snap the thread,
    seems to disappear.
    Strength is gone.
    I am weak,
    so
    very,
    very
    weak.

  • Crap I do in my free time . . .

    Yeah, so I pretty much don't have a life.  I did this look a few weeks ago, but I figure I'd share it for you guys, in case you really cared.







    I suck at liquid eyeliner . . . don't judge me





    Yeah, so that's it . . . nothing special.  Me just flaunting the image that I would like to portray to this world.
