Last night you gave me a star
A resplendent little light
You made it a surprise
Hiding it behind your thumb all night
So I wouldn't notice
The new twinkle
In our night's sky
Till finally
"Without further ado"
You whispered to me
As you showed me
Our own little island
In a sea of darkness and wonder.
"Make a wish"
you smiled bashfully
"Its your star after all"
And I wished
I wished a million times
On that tiny light
That one day
I might be able to give you
All the stars in our sky.

A Love I Can't Escape
For you I bathe
in horribly wonderful decadence
that envelops me
crushing and choking me
beneath my own ambiguity
and inhibitions,
I haven't the heart
to hold to the utter
selfishness
which I've come to feel for you
and it fears its own inability
to encompass such disgusting purity.
I want you
more than I'm willing to understand
and more than I'm willing to accept
however it,
you,
still call to me
with such horrifying allure
that I can't help but approach
the cliff which I'm sure
will be my downfall
however perhaps if I gained you
in the fall
I might not mind.
Better Off Apart by British-Prophetess, literature
Literature
Better Off Apart
My glorious happy ever after,
Just like you, is with someone else.
We might have been quite content,
So wrapped up in one another's love,
In another life - instead the cards
We were dealt were not red with passion.
They were stony black and white,
Dripped in scorpion's venom - at times
My thoughts drift away like passing
Clouds, only leaving behind the rain.
Was it you or I who caused the Heavens
To cast us down from our pedestals?
Were we made in Lucifer's sly image,
Destined to crash into hellish lava?
These answers mean nothing to me
No longer, however ghosts do have a
Habit of popping up now and again.
Isn't that fair to say?
A flicker of light
Dances in the serene background,
Illuminating the borderline
Between high land and water.
Seeing this natural experience
Takes me back to a moment etched
In perfect time; remember how we
Taunted the sun by cutting cardboard
Crescent shapes, sticking them up on
A chalkboard that's seen better days?
Now I have switched sides - I remember
The flush of irritation when you
Accused me of changing the tides.
I never meant to, or did I?
I always fail in love;
No matter the man I'm with,
He will leave eventually.
My heart rarely smiles
Ripped apart like a curtain
Of memories that
Fades with morning light.
And if I put my trust in you,
Will I regret it, only time will know.
Inside, I seethe
In rage, crying.
Why am I built
To spend a
Lonely eternity?
I'm not sure what to believe;
All these years exposed to lies,
I am filled with bitterness.
I am their puppet;
Strings attached,
They reduce me to worthlessness
Incapable to thrive.
Too scared to leap beyond the moon
Where lovers reside in harmony.
Inside, I seethe
In rage, crying.
Why am I built
To spend a
Lonely eternity?
How Do I Declare My Feelings? by British-Prophetess, literature
Literature
How Do I Declare My Feelings?
The way your body crushes
Against me so intimately -
Chest to chest, groin to groin -
Makes me feel so giddy; it's like
I'm relearning how to breathe.
It feels like I'm suffocating
When at the same time I'm not; all
These sensations, marvelous and
Exciting, sends me into shock;
I dance upon invisible electricity.
This is my personal definition of
The phrase passionate living.
This is a mere tribute that greatly
Celebrates the wonder of the cosmos.
But most of all...
This is my declaration, one that is
Born from genuine heartfelt words.
I owe it all to you, my other half.

Show What You're Made Of
Can you dig deep and
Let go of the past?
All you do is suffer,
Underestimating all the
Dazzling traits you possess.
I know it's not easy taking
Advice, but you're learning.
Just imagine you're special
And in time it will come true.
Nobody's gonna hurt you, you
Deserve love and affection.
Open up your heart, show
Courage in the face of danger;
Soon you'll realise your strengths.

1. if someone invites you back to their place
for coffee, and you only drink tea,
don’t stress:
you probably won’t actually be drinking coffee.
2. when the creepy guy from work asks you out
again and you think about accepting for the first
time because you’re sick of going home alone and
you have never learned how to say no, don’t. learn.
stand in front of the mirror until you love yourself
enough for your skin to fit snug on your body. read
about the hundreds of millions of planets out in the
hundreds of millions of galaxies and feel so crowded
