My thoughts of the moment...

Cry My Soul to Sleep

...once upon a time...

Loss of innocence,
a warm, defenseless child.
Soulfeeder, you are.

...and now...

Please help me,
when lightning claws reality...
Yes, I know the difference
but I'm not sure I understand
why
I feel so dirty
from
the intrusion on my mind
each and every time.

[Cry
cry
cry]
I used to only cry inside,
but
I know
I've gotten better...
Now I need to shed tears from my eyes,
to really
[CRY!]


my wings are shredded.

glass-sharp
nails
melded into
my delicate
water eyes
whenever
they reflected
you.



...and my wings are shredded.

again.

again.

again...

I LOVE YOUR STUFF!!!!

I just understood A Difference (took me long... I had to look up many worlds, almost all...) but was worthy, that poem into poem into poem is just amazing.
You are by far the most creative person I know. And your work is really inspiring.

The last one is also really touching. I just love them all!

*Hugs* *Kisses*
EUGE

Thanks!

Yeah, "A Difference" took some work, and I had to use big words to make it sound right...but I'm sorry for making it difficult! On the bright side, hopefully I helped you out with even more English vocabulary that I didn't even know until I began putting that poem together...

*Hugs back*

Butterfly Flowers

Imagine a beautiful place full of nature, of calm, peace. Pretend to walk through it, among the butterfly flowers on either side of you. Think of how, no matter how sad and lost you felt moments ago, you feel so peaceful and safe now. Almost enough to move you to tears.

Now open your eyes and look at the world you know. Feel the dismay as you longingly remember the place you imagined.

Now imagine that there is more to the everyday life that you see. Imagine that the place you went to in your dreams is really the beauty behind everything you see now, the true reality underneath a horrid mask.

Look for the beauty inside. The soul that lies inside what you see.

Heaven.

Not above us, out of reach.

But right here.

On the other side.

If you look deep enough, you can see it.

Some never see it.

Some always have.

I have always walked among the butterfly flowers, always felt it there, a place that calms my nerves, such a peaceful dreamland.

I have always walked among the butterfly flowers, but I've never really seen it...I've never really seen the true beauty in everything...

...until now.

Wow. :shock: Butterfly Flowers is brilliant. I actually did imagine the beautiful place..and then opened by eyes and was disappointed. Amazing, it's so vivid!

OMG! :shock: WOW! :shock: Butterfly Flowers is absolutely amazing! Even though it doesn't have a set structure, it unbounds the limitations and takes it as far as you want it to go. I loved it. It made me think of the beautiful place you were describing!
