    Serpentine Kiss

    Grievous thirst, perish!
    Succumb to my somber needing,
    tranquility of blissful surrealism,
    a soundtrack of lustful heartbeats.
    Portrayed, embodied within the sunset,
    crescendo sentiments whisper to auras.

    Summoned thoughts hold flowers,
    summertime beauty and fragrant meadows.

    Obey wildfire longings,
    silky products of amber serenity;
    walking down the moonlit chapel,
    distant voice electrocutes misery:
    Grievous thirst, perish!

    "Linger"
    by: Briana Coulter

    How long has it been now?
    About a month, I think.
    Your presence still lingers.
    So I'll take another drink.

    They say I'm ruining my life.
    The bottle won't bring you back.
    Silly them, they think I care.
    I do it to fall off the track.

    I know it's not good for me.
    But I'm nothing without you.
    My vision is blurry now.
    But what else can I do?

    I do this to stop thinking of you.
    Though it's not doing any good.
    I'm too foolish to stop consuming.
    Even though I know that I should.

    It's been hard without you here.
    Only a month has gone by, I think.
    Your presence will forever linger.
    So I'm taking my last drink.

    She Forgets

    Time has washed the thought away
    Of who she used to be
    Subtle hints surround her here
    She wishes not to see

    Broken windows, boarded doors
    This house is but a shell
    Memories of the life she lost
    When all she knew was hell

    Her younger sister never knew
    So mourns this loss today
    Reminders of the childhood
    She lost along the way

    She has no heart to cloud her mind
    With years of hurt and pain
    Though pray she's almost done with this
    Before she goes insane

    Living in the here and now
    Is just so hard to do
    When everything you fear and loathe
    Stands surrounding you

    The wall her head had come to know
    The stairs that were her grave
    Leading to the den of sin
    Hurt hits her like a wave

    She thanks the sun for saving her
    And steps into the light
    Once again to leave behind
    The hate, the hurt, the spite

    She hugs her sister close to her
    Weighed with no regret
    The life she knew so long ago
    Again, she could forget

    Maybe Tomorrow

    My hands were cold
    She held them,
    I smiled.

    Don`t think this means a thing,
    It`s simply an intoxication that will stimulate me for hours on end.

    Defend what you believe you`re worth,
    But only when it`s all over.
    Your morals are on the floor with your body,
    Begging to be accepted.

    Rejected, it`s simple, really.
    The slick sli-i-i-i-de of your words;
    Manipulating.
    Every.
    Bone.

    I don`t expect you to see,
    I don`t expect you to feel,
    But I expect you to care.

    I am the erased words that never quite fit in,
    Sometimes in sentences,
    Sometimes in numbers.
    I`m a perfect fit to any frame.

    Just like the cancer of passion you hold deep with,
    Spreading through you,
    Contagious - to me.
    I`d take your dreams and give them a name.

    Falling short,
    Out of touch.
    One step forward is three the other way.

    Give me a chance to pick myself up,
    To fall down again.

    Today we stop just short of time,
    Tomorrow we will try again.

    Killing time. (Three Octive Ottiva Rima)
    ** A Ottava Rima is a poem written in 8-line octives. Each line is of a 10 or 11 syllable count in
    the following rhyme: three octive poem. abababcc, dededeff, ghghghii **

    Sitting in blank spaces in my own room.
    Dreaming of salvation that lingers on.
    Drowning in my own self pity and gloom.
    Just waiting to see that sight of the dawn.
    What can there be for me to kill this time.
    Killing is crime,Is killing time a crime?

    Walk on the streets of my city alone.
    Running before time catches up to me.
    Boredom and solitude is all thats shown.
    All I want is to set out and be free.
    Need to kill time is what we humans do.
    But not all of us can, only a few.

    To kill time listen to what I will say.
    Hear every word as if it were your own.
    Don't sit in your room to linger or play.
    Go and get out, don't sit and cry or moan.
    This is how you are going to kill time.
    Its not murder, its human not a crime.

    Jaded rose

    Once beautiful a symbol of our love
    Twelve red roses at the door
    Nothing could talk to my heart
    More than roses from my lover

    Like you the rose in my heart
    Meant a love I thought could never die
    It spoke without words
    Of delicate beauty and innocent life

    So many times you brought them home
    Freshly picked you said you loved me
    Intoxicated by their perfume
    I believed you

    Years pass but the roses don't die
    Until one day when I wake up
    Noticing you are no longer by my side

    Looking at the verse
    I realise like our love
    The roses have worn out with time

    They are no longer red
    Only a faded shade of pink
    No longer beautiful
    The thorns have began to show

    Along with the roses
    Our love has withered
    Like all other things
    Everything must die

    Untouched

    I shy away from the Light and the Darkness,
    Unaware of the Night and the Day,
    I find things to occupy my mind in need,
    The days and Nights have no meaning.
    I am untouched by Time.

    I seem to have no memories,
    No Past, No Present, No Future,
    I lie awake at night, No dreams,
    I sleep during the day, No dreams.
    I am untouched by Time.

    Seconds, Minutes and Hours roll into one,
    Through all seasons, the changing climate,
    My body clock is out of control, No Soul,
    Untouched by the warmth of the Sun and Heart’s Fire,
    Throughout this lifespan I tire and tire.
    I am untouched by Time.

    To evaluate time, to know its purpose,
    To feel its gravitational pull, the effect!
    In time you begin, learn, love and perspire,
    Do everything your heart may love and desire;
    But I am untouched by Time.

    This one is written by a friend of mine who has not got an account of her own yet her name is Roxy.

    "Untouched" - by Cyber Saiyan

    Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
    Grows the perfect rose
    Never before seen by man
    Kissed by God when the wind blows.

    Seated into the earth
    With strong roots running deep
    Beauty gleaming in the sunshine
    Making the strongest angels weep.

    Perfection that outlasts all
    Holding strong as day fades in to night
    Vibrant colors and flawless beauty
    Making all else seem trite.

    Standing tall against the bright sunlight
    Untouched by environment that surrounds
    Worshiped by all other life
    While its essence brightly astounds.

    Searching the entire known world
    Only one thing surpasses its virtue
    Verified in the eyes of God
    The only thing more ravishing . . . is you.
