What is light with nothing to compare it to?

What gives life it's shadows

the defining points

that shape who we are?

without the darkness

where would I be?

broken.

a mirror

shattered-

into a million little pieces.

( the glass pierced her bare feet as she tread upon the shards;

she bled silver. )

Abash

what it actually means: to destroy self-confidence/pose; make ashamed.

what it totally should mean: a wicked bonfire that lasts all night and leaves its participants covered in soot and mildly embarrased by their drunken actions but moreso pleased with the raging-party legacy they're sure to leave behind for years to come.

Observer

Observer: Somebody who likes to watch, maybe without getting involved. Or sometimes likes to take stock of a situation before getting involved.

The word voyeur also, sadly, comes to mind :)

Curious

Curious is my curse.

Always thinking, always wondering till my head hurts.

That's curious.

Diving too deep in the dark ocean trenches.

My lungs scream, my heart pounds.

The dark ocean trenches are empty.

That's curious.

Curious is my weapon.

Like a snake waiting to strike,

Words are my venom.

Like a machine gun,

My tongue rattles.

Heavy worded bullets,

Wound the enemy.

Curious is my lover.

Deep in the night,

I let my mind wander.

Where no explorer dares to,

Where no expedition goes to.

Curious is the father to my ideas,

Continuously nurturing,

Barely resting.

I am curious,

My body is the question,

My soul is the solver.

Now, I just have to find the answer.

SPARK (noun)

The dictionary says:

A small fiery particle thrown off from a fire, alight in ashes, or produced by striking together two hard surfaces such as metal or stone.

My own personal definition:

A spark is the beginning of a hot and heavy relationship with another individual.

Example sentence:

Twenty years later and he still lights the spark that sets my soul on fire.

Random Word

Word:

Lethargize-

When I think of this word I think of someone who is sluggish and slow. Someone who looks like they just don't care and couldn't care if they tried. Someone who is being weighed down by something.

That is what this word means to me.

flicker

a surprising sight caught in the corner of your eye

the gentle movement of fabric in a breeze

the dim light of a candle against the darkness of a room

that first flare of falling in love
