    Envious Eyes
    by Patrick Murphy

    The pool of summons
    as those who beckon,
    swirls and oceans,
    fogs awaken.

    In the clear,
    but only for a second
    i see these eyes
    Envious and they question.

    These eyes are green jade
    creating this feeling
    they pierce into my skin
    leaving me weakened.

    I see them as if they are god
    bright as day could be,
    for these eyes
    continue to pierce right through me.

    Even though they wish for help
    and reckon i will be there
    even though they wilt like kelp
    it continues to stick up my hair.

    For this moment i shall reflect
    these envious eyes that show true
    its because this minute i must reject,
    for your eyes continue to tarnish you.

    On Wings Of Fire

    I shall not float to heaven,
    Graceful as a swan,
    On wings of fire, I'll find my way,
    Lit up like the dawn.

    No quiet voice or timid mind,
    For glory makes a sound,
    Those who soak in bitter silence,
    One day will be found.

    They'll see the fight they have to face,
    And bring it to the ground,
    Before their dying day is done,
    Sweet glory comes around.

    A helping hand, an open heart,
    Whatever they can give,
    They pass it on without a thought,
    In hopes, you too, will live.

    Even if the gates are locked,
    Or heaven's just a lie,
    Go out like the blazing sun,
    Sing your battle cry.

    My Muse

    Hair that flows like honey,
    Eyes bright as the sun,
    Lips so full of soft sweet words,
    Her heart can't be outdone.

    Her mind, sharp as a sword,
    She kills me, my sweet sage,
    Passion spills out through my veins,
    And lives upon my page.

    Living, breathing, in my mind,
    The revolution of my soul,
    Her inspiration's everything,
    This spirit makes me whole.

    Lifeline

    Upon the wall, all paintings with keyholes should be locked,
    on the blank streets I shiver, left naked than mocked.

    Devil sleeps inside, so step in lethal carriage,
    road is a bullet, will you be my queen?
    Promised amnesia won't wash away any sin,
    simply don't put your heart in death's marriage.

    My eyes, bloody lenses,
    saw world's swallowing senses
    and I scream for dream of gray
    to give apathy and kill duplex ray
    which developed in suicide desire,
    empty tomorrows became my personal choir.

    Ghostlike but immortal projector is this book,
    you cannot edit story already written,
    all letters are crucified, I hopelessly look
    for any part of soul which isn't smitten.

    And then you came,
    to seal the steel deal,
    with innocent smile you melted hellish gates;
    some newfound energy is on the frozen plates,
    I had poisoned, never-ending log
    but you have stolen last, cursed cog.

    My Muse

    Shadows gathered at the square
    to watch an execution,
    it's just a game of evolution,
    they compare
    bloody illusions with cosmic hallucination
    crowning my own darkened interpretation.

    I wait for stars to assemble,
    mutilating loneliness, I still remember
    the taste of night which conquered space of hollow
    zones whose I have to, eventually, swallow.

    I am merging with remains of the moon,
    sounds of sanguinary cocoon
    testify how emotional wordplay sealed
    photographs; it's certain, the hunter will be killed.

    Haunted hearts

    Ghostly figures slowly devour the heart,
    They eat slowly at the sanity,
    Chew their way through the mind,
    Take away reality.

    Cold shadows slowly stalk me
    And hunt me through the night,
    They take me when I'm alone
    When I'm without sight.

    Icy fingers reach out to wrap around me
    They take me slowly apart
    This is what happens
    When you have a haunted heart...

    And mine is haunted by your memory

    On wings of fire

    On wings of fire
    Burning with a sensual desire
    I'm wishing, wanting, begging for more
    Kiss me, hold me, push me to the floor.

    Do whatever you want to me
    Because I need you right now
    I just can't get you out of my mind,
    But I've thrown in the towel.

    I've given up for you
    Got down on my knees
    Because being on wings of fire
    Has caused me to see.

    I thought I was so over you
    But, as I fly upon wings of fire
    I see your face within my mind
    And I burn with sensual desire.

    Envious eyes

    I stand in the shadows,
    Watching your face in that half profile
    While you laugh and smile at him,

    He doesn't deserve your smile,
    Your touch,
    He is unworthy of touching such perfection
    And yet you bade me be silent,

    You heed not my words of concern and of love,
    You disregard my passion and let me stand by,
    Let me be consumed by envy and hate
    And leave me to guard you from the shadows,

    A glint of emerald the sign of my gaze,
    The sign of my envious eyes.

    The Prophecy

    Was it true, that unbearable agony of a half truth
    Whispered in a dreaming?
    Is my future layed out far and for all to see?
    Have I any control or is casualty my only master?
    Guiding my pathetic flicker of life,
    A delicate flame dancing across the nexus of life,
    I dream of you, of a death and a life,
    Of me following your shallow footprints
    Dragged along the beach and into the waters of my eternal tomb,
    A dream, a nightmare? No, a prophecy of our interwined consciousness,
    Never to be torn asunder, a prophecy of my neverending love for you,
    My angel, my blessing, and my curse...

    Haunted Hearts

    Words
    drip
    like
    icy
    petals.

    Do not sketch martyr butterflies
    with obscure fingertips,
    crawling
    over clouds of myopic malevolence.

    His rage metamorphosed into deities,
    horned gods of authentic damnation,
    and his ignorance... it evolved
    to reach the branches of our solemn sky.

    Universe's headphones emit broken notes.

    His pride blindfolded tomorrows
    composing intros of what ifs,
    and his lies... they soaked
    our black and white fields.

    Do not implant detonator into dreams
    with decayed soul,
    running
    across previously sewed wounds.

    Words
    drip
    like
    icy
    petals.

    Sorry for the length... I got carried away lol

    Big City, Small World

    Tarnished world we shared [within one simple touch]
    ravaged, crumbling into nocturnal voids, disconnected.
    My nightingales sing through sunset suburbs
    spilling tears over wounds that the words cannot heal.

    Castigated sighs weave my screaming dreams
    as I sell this world to demonic marionettes
    who inflamed rubies within crystal spine.

    Emotions are merging with cerulean leather;
    Heartbeats warm bloody whisperers.
    Why don't you come and rescue me?

    Save me!

    I'm rolling over roses inside, tailoring
    fairytales of darkened enigmas and soil.
    It's like we possessed some warmness,
    warmness painted over nothingness.

    Save me!

    Combustion forms fanatic reindeers,
    creatures of microcosms between fingertips.
    Combustion repaints savage notions,
    implanting madness into enliven dots.

    Farewells pave my diamond road to hell,
    blinding heroic miracles, which cried out,
    calling last riots to proceed and replay...
    Why don't you come, why don't you rescue me?

    Tarnished world we shared [within one simple touch],
    lacerated, shattering into jagged particles, fallen.
    My music-boxes spill detuned misery,
    singing sins outlined with amber ashes.

    Swallow Your Tongue

    The charming beam on your face
    Will never be able to disguise
    The straight angle of your back
    Or the fury within your eyes.

    My laughter threatens to be heard
    Seeing controlled anger in your smile.
    It is damned the cutest thing
    With the moods of yours versatile.

    The hands of yours form a fist,
    Ready to strike at any second.
    To touch would be a mistake,
    Though the lips of yours beckons.

    If there was a moment to ever fall,
    That lovely instant would be today.
    There is no better way to see the future,
    Than having this frustration on display.

    As for now, I will watch you quiver,
    Keeping mind of the show so young.
    I'll struggle to keep my expression blank
    As you attempt to swallow your tongue.

    Title: Little Notes
    by XoOrdinaryGirloX

    Back in the days, carefree and wild
    Classrooms full of laughter and tears
    Isn't it amazing the affect on a child,
    From a little piece of paper and pencil

    For one in particular, lonely and afraid
    Such surroundings seem frightful
    Animosity and fear is all that's portrayed
    A child's mind is like a sponge, absorbing it all.

    Back and forth to every child in the room
    Little Notes of paper being passed along
    She's freakish, she's unnatural they all assume
    Such opinions kept hushed, just written on paper.

    Paper though, can get into the wrong hands
    Just that day, a teacher took the note and began reading
    Darting out of the room, it's all too much to withstand
    Out of the building, into the road, not looking, not caring

    BANG!

    The sounds of sirens filling the air,
    A precious life of a little girl brutally taken
    A shadow appears from her, out of nowhere
    To the skies above, safe but most of all...
    Free.
