The opposite of warmth, what is it?  Is it the cold, dark smile of a culprit?  Is it the frigid glow from his sharpened blade,  Or is it the fear of a child, alone and afraid?  Is it as simple to explain as day is to night,  As ebony black is to ivory white?  Maybe it’s deeper, something unclear  Like the leap of an elk to the prance of a deer  Maybe it isn’t as easy as “cold”  Or maybe it’s something that hasn’t been told in Spoken Word
Him, laying down.  I, standing.   
A tangle of mess inside my mind.  I must betray one or the other.  I look into his eyes,  We both want this now,  But it is me  Who holds us back.   
When I think of it,  Visions of my family  Float through my head.  I can see their faces now.  I get into bed with him,  I do not care anymore.   
This is my life now. in Open
The snow will powder and the ice will glaze,  candy canes are just a phase.   
A tree indoors  and the smell of pine  reminds you of a better time.   
Sit on Santa's bended knee,  and wish for gifts to find  underneath your Christmas tree.   
Magic, suspense, and surprise,  you try to sleep but cannot close your eyes.  Sleep and dream until morning comes,  cookies left replaced by crumbs.   
An empty glass of milk sits beside a letter.  Open gifts, then get dressed in your Christmas sweater.  Food, gifts, and family - there is nothing better.    in Open
Why in this world  are people betrayed,  Put down,  Disgraced  to such an extent  to destroy whatever is left  of there soul--  weak     Pathetic       Worthless          Useless            Dirt  words, Thats what they are  but words are the most powerfull  degrading  ungratefull  and utter destruction of the soul.  If only they understood   If only

My sister says she'll always hate me  And she hopes that I should die  But forever is a promise  And she can't afford to lie   
My mother says she'll never accept me  She thinks I'm weak when I cry  But forever is a promise  And she can't afford to lie   
My father swore he'd always protect me  But he's never at my side  Because forever is a promise  And he can't afford to lie   
My friends thought they'd always care  They told me it'd always be fine  But forever is a promise  And they can't afford to lie   
You tell me that you'll always love in Open
saw your picture today  made me wish you werent so far away  from everything I've ever known  all the good things in life  that I've seemed to blown     and yet I look at you now,  
and wonder how  it got to be like this  your image so removed from me  a face I don't quite remember  hair dye is just a facade  its the motives behind it  for which I long  seems like a chapter of this life  is closing behind me  and I need to find the key     Saw the sword you yield  made me wish I had a shield  from all the tears I've shed  as I la in Song
Drive, and don't stop,  untill you reach,  the very top,  Be the fastest,  Be the best,  Above all else,  Don't protest,   
Drive, and do not halt,  For if you do,  Your at fault,  Be the fastest,  be the best,  Above all else,  Don't protest,   
Drive, keep clawing,  For others  cause,  Your falling,  Be the fastest,  Be the best,  Above all else,  Don't protest,   
Drive, do not care,  If someones hopes,  You impair,  Be the fastest,  Be the best,  Above all else,  Don't protest, &nb in Open
Tearing and stabbing  Ripping and shredding  It's what I deal with  From day to day  The crying at night  Does not help me sleep  It has the opposite effect  And now my soul is tired  I have no energy left  All caused by this heart of mine  It's blashphemy  The hold it has on me  All it brings is pain  Give me morphine  So there will be numbness  And I can live again  I can breathe  Or better yet  Tear my chest open  And rip my heart out  I can guarantee  That with my last breath  I will smile  For I will be rid of  My heart in Spoken Word

Trials   
Swallowed early by a wolf,  she carved her freedom from the red  hunger of wild muscle,  and later,                  with raucous giants  closing ground, her agile fingers  fashioned straw into the finest possible  passage home.   
Beset by poverty and suitors,  she stopped her ears and took to rambling  high the mossy hills and low  the roads to sea, until two unnetted fishes  gave, as recompense for her kindness,  a clutch of wishes disguised as simple sticks –  e in Open
Random   
Randomness is good every once in a while  like when the sun wont shine and the moon is black  Or when the rose's flow and blow in the gentle breeze      The sunshine is great  When you are cold  Or hopeless  Or just feeling blue  Can you feel the soft hue of the blue mountains in Peru too?      Soft trickling rain is sweet and sound like a blue birds cry

Life's vicious cycle crushes me so,  Constantly wounded by every cruel blow,  Repeatedly thrown onto the ground,  My will to rise forever bound. in Open
Come Sleepers and Wakers,  Hopers and Livers,  Come Builders, and Breakers,  Come one, and come all,  Come Painters and Writers,  and Dancers and Walkers,  Come Singers and Sighers,   To my endless halls,  Come skip on the water,  Play chess with the trees,  Come dance with the sparrows,  Come all, and be free  Of the bonds of the Earth;  And let them all stare.  Fall into your mind;  Come be without care.  Step into my realm –  It’s easier than it seems:  Come sleep in the arms  Of the King of Dreams. in Fixed
[Bella P.O.V]  My Mouth quivers beneath his  I am able to be touched  I am tangible  I am free   
As these moments take an earnest turn  He speaks into my lips  Incoherent I am caught by his hands  Tracing wildly across my wrists  And so we feel the hunger drive  The sudden sweat  This feast of love   
At that moment I knew  I knew because his lithe movements  Were holding back  Resisting his impossible strength   
My hands freezing on his chest  Ducking below to inhale his scent  To give me release  
And swiftly move past this impene in Open
You sit on a wooden stool and wonder  
Lights dim, music pounds, people stare  
Why are you here?  
 
Glasses clink as mirrors reflect blank faces  
Women, men, wine and beer  
Why do you stay?  
 
Your eyes become clouded and heavy  
Your mind screaming inside your head  
Is anyone listening?  
 
A once crowed place becomes empty  
The bartender asks you to leave  
Can you find your car?  
 
A cold mist awakens your face and covers the ground  
Dangerous risks are welcomed as you drive,  
Have you the nerve?

once, twice the stone skips  on the quiet lake's surface  and sinks unnoticed in Haiku & Eastern
sabahlar  aynı değildir,bende başka.  en güzel ışıklar  vurur sarıya yol çizgisinde...  dokundum yolculuğuma, yerçekimi sustu.  
aşk benden bana yağar, aslolan kalsın içteki...

What are true friends?  Do they stab you in the back?  Do they ditch you for another?  Do they always insult you?  Do they leave you when you need them?  Do they just not care at all?  Do they tell you the truth?  Do they tear you apart?  Do they crush your soul?  Do they ruin everything good in your life?  Do they hurt you for fun?  Do they lie straight to your face?  It seems like that is what a true friend is,  even at the best of times. in Open
I dont know if you noticed  and I hope you didnt  but all those times I got nervous  all those times my face got warm and red  It was because of you   
The reason I can't look you in the eye  why I can't get close to you  the reason why I try to prevent even the slightest contact  The same reason I run out of things to say  Is because I'm afraid of blushing in front of you   
But lately...All of that changed  I tried to get closer, wanted you near  I tried to brush our fingers together  My heart wanted me to tell you everything  Thank god I didnt....

These emotions I'm feeling  They're out of control  And welling up inside  ABout ready to burst  No way for them to escape  And I don't know what to do  I'm lost in confusion  Lost in the world  Lost without a soul  Lost without a mind  The only thing found  Is an empty shell  Stripped of emotions  Stripped of its life  Isn't thatthe ideal life  To not feel the pain  To not feel the hate  To not know the horrors  To just live your life  Without a care  Seems like Heaven  To be empty  For to be empty  Would mean paradise in Spoken Word
Every word from his mouth  Every kiss from his lips  are some of the things  
i will always miss  he made me happy  
and then broke my heart  i shouldve seen it coming  
right from the start  and then came along  the most wonderful guy  who always made me smile  and never cry  until the day he chose her over me  the reason he did  i will never clearly see  but now im stuck  sucked in by his power  i cant break free  he's like the eiffel tower  always swaying  and never steady  i really dont know  if he will ever be ready in Open
A shiver of joy  My heart skips a beat  A shock so sweet  Your lips a gentle suprise  Fluttering in my stomach  Truely content  Not wanting to walk away  To stunded to speak  Come back, my mind beggs  One last smile  "Love you." in Open
Lies roam free  Every where across me  In and out every where are lies  Lies drip from my mouth so easy  Poisoning the air we breath  They shift through their myriad of forms  Settling on my heart bridging the norms  
Blanket of haze twistin' and movin'  Coiling around my soul locking me in place  Your lies are a poison I can't live without  It kills me every time I hear them  Without though I would die  They created what we have  Without your lies where would we be  You made me  
The lies of youth are what we have  The lies shaped my form  
But chained my so in Open
Light and Dark   
 
 
Standing alone.  In the Dark I stand.  I've been waiting for someone,  To lend me a hand.   
These broken wings of mine  Won't get me far away.  Far away from fear.  At a place where I can stay.   
Light shines in,  It overcomes pain.  My heart has been marked,  With dreads blood red stain.   
The world looks at me  With pity in their eyes.  I want to fly away,  Away from sins and lies.   
I see a light  Growing in size.  For a moment,  I couldn't believe my eyes.
