[Crossroads]
by MaryAnne

Time is age set in stone,
Perceptible where I move
By ghosts of mocking irony.
My day collides with afterthought
Stepping into a (war) zone,
Affiliating myself
Betwixt weapons and betrayal.
My night revolves a secret,
Spinning in webbed dresses,
A speechless tryst
Upon a balcony of axioms
Requiring no instant solution.
I array myself too listlessly
In tangents that steal
- A midnight's breath -
A wing of moonlight
From the face I sculpt,
An ethereal image
Admired endlessly.

Stranded I lay,
Where I influence
No incessant elevation,
For my mind is quietly
Curving the road
To {side} track
Into perfect projections
Of your held beauty.

Underwater

A swirl-
in a swirl,
of a fallen embrace.

The pillowed current takes it away,
lets it fall into a dream [nightmare?]
of suffocation and dancing stars.

I just need to know where you are.

My love,
my love.
Call out to me in this delicate death.
Can you find me here?
Or is this a place for the beaten.
You're not welcome.

Cerulean diamonds
in a glittered wasteland.
There's no life here.
Is this what I really wanted?
To be lost,
Underwater?

Kisses softer than rose pedals please :)

Kisses Softer Than Rose Pedals

Your anguish, it scares me
As your beating me into the ground
And the words that fall from your lips
Leave me broken, confused

I am the one supporting myself
And believe me, it's not a pretty sight
Your hands are shaking, but I stand still
Waiting. waiting. waiting for it.

You grab my arms, in case I run
The feeling of your heat on me sends shivers
Down my spine and up once more
For this time, I am scared

But, you draw closer with your eyes in mine
And your hands placed firmly on me
"I'm sorry" leaks from your throat
I want to believe all of this is true

You kiss me once right on the cheek
And then again planted on my lips
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Its running through my head
And you wait for my reponse as I am speachless

And all I can say to you, which is ridiculous is,
"babe, your fist kisses softer than rose pedals
I'm scared of the past and babe, I'm scared of you"
He smiled. Just smiled. and walked away.
