Book of Feathers

As a fallen angel,

wings stripped of their feathers

by the demons from my mind’s hell

my strength slowly withers.

But I will rebuild my wings

with every new feather

adds a new page to the rings

that bind my book of leather.

This book of mine

tells the story of redemption

over the course of time

as I battle my depression.

The demons take my pen

and tell me to just stop trying,

to just give in

and get busy dying.

However I steal the pen back

before I can doubt

and numb myself black

to block them out.

This book of feathers is my mission

my scarred skin makes its bind

my blood of crimson iron inks its inscription

my bone makes its spine.

By finishing this book before I die

I hope these pages put together

will rebuild my wings and let me fly

so I can show all my book of feathers.

Past

Alas my love has,

worn through years as,

I have loved another.

Was I to suffer?

“It gives you the ingredients, it’s up to you to make the recipe.”

(A quote from me about when something makes your mind come up with its own fears. I did research and so far I've found that this isn't a qoute by anyone else so I'm claiming it)

Some Monsters Aren’t In The Closet

I didn't want to tell

but the words just left

"I'm bisexual."

there was time for a breath

before being told

I'm full of shit

my parents aren't sold

that bisexuality even exists

they live in black and white

where people are only straight or gay

a spectum is not in their sight

and they don't care what I say

my mom cried for someone to arrest me

that I should be in jail for very long

screaming about hoping a woman in prison would rape me

so that I could see how I was wrong

I cried and cried

knees pressed to my chest

regreting stopping the lies

panic making my heart race under my left breast

I tried to cut myself after they left the room

and cried till there was no more tears to shed

weeks pasted and tense fear still seemed to loom

their words still echo in my head

I'm open about my bisexuality

to my accepting friends and peers

but I regret coming out to my family

as what happened I told you here

I'm not saying to hide who you are

just know who you tell

and that you can trust them with your heart

so you don't have to go through hell

some people are lucky

and when they first come out

their experience isn't as rocky

and people have no doubt

this safe and close community

we can all trust eachother

be proud of our sexualities

and love one another

She Needs A Kiss

She needs a kiss

I've watched her for over an hour

All alone

She looks lonely

I'm infatuated

Sipping a coffee at a corner table

We caught eyes a few times

She's lovely

She looks like she could use a kiss

Her ruby lips make my stomach growl

But we are strangers

But i didn't care!

She was my current hunger

Just to feel a strangers kiss

Encroaching on this desire

Taking my last sip of coffee

My eyes were ready 

Locked into hers

As she looked at me approaching her

Like she read my signals

Gently i cupped her face

Our lips slowly touch 

Into an inferno of desire

Tongue strangling pleasure

It felt right

A beautiful face

New lips

An embraced marathon of desire

Seperating our lips 

Rapid heart beats flutter

Eyes stuck in a trance

I get up 

Staggering to the door

Opening it into the brisk night

The door closes

With bells jingling on the glass

If you were a book or perhaps a series of books

I tried to read you like a novel.

I've gotten halfway through

But it's taken over a year

And I've forgotten the beginning

And I want to pick you off the shelf

And read you again.

Your level was too high.

I couldn't comprehend you if I tried.

I failed the test on you & I want another chance & I don't want to read anymore books until I'm finished with you.

Or maybe you are just too much.

I haven't gotten to the part that will make me cry 

but I feel like it's coming up soon.

There's a man outside your window...

He sees him...

The man outside your window

dressed in black, watches

from a distance and pulls

his head back

when you walk by to look

because you feel your hairs

stand on end, at attention

from the eyes upon you

not once or twice

but many times have you felt this

from the man outside your window

the sense that he is there

There to hurt you

in ways you wouldn't, 

couldn't imagine

Yet imagine you do

For you do not remember

putting on your black pants

and your black sweater

to go with your black mask

And when you glimpse the truth

you do not see the man outside 

your window in the mirror

He sees him...

Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time we were happy. Then we were teenagers. We've been miserable since.
