Hearts and Ashes Despairing sentiments are whatHearts and Ashes by =OpheliaWhispers
I like to scratch upon
My canvas made of skin
My own heart crawls around his
Trying to intertwine with his heart
In HIS chest
You see, my chest is desolate and empty
My heart got left behind
When I gave it to him
Must have slipped his mind to
Give it back
So I do what I must
Returning to our fire
In which I immerse myself
'Till I am nothing but ash
Like a Phoenix rising from
My ashes, he takes flight
Now calling the sky his home
He has my heart
He always will


This Time... This time...This Time... by =OpheliaWhispers
The fire in your heart
went out long before
I ever knew you.
This time...
Please don't
take me
so high.
This time...
I want you
whether or not
you want me.
This time...
Please leave me
far behind
you.


Waves I wanted to die quickly,Waves by =OpheliaWhispers
this time in your arms.
Jumping readily from my breast
to be held gently to your chest,
by waves of mad confusion.


Disarm I didn't know you could feel this way,Disarm by =OpheliaWhispers
like pins and needles in my soul.
As the Sun leaves us at the end of the day
I feel the old thoughts taking hold.
Perhaps it isn't you, but me
I say with a love that will soon decay.
I never gave you my heart's key,
It is in this bed of lies where I lay.
Tangled in your arms safe and strong,
all I want is to do you harm.
Taking away all I did that was wrong,
giving me space to make you disarm.
Holding your peace flag high,
I don't care anymore, now is the time to strike.
Entangled in my web so carefully made of lies,
growing slick with my poisonous feelings of dislike.
All I care about i


...you left. Our angry voices...you left. by =OpheliaWhispers
mark the walls
like
cigarette smoke stains...
all jaundice and putrid,
crawling up the walls
and coughing out
the sickness
we left there.
Your face,
all twisted and angry,
eyes glaring.
They search, undoubtedly,
for a chink in my armor,
which is rusted anyways
from tears you refuse
to acknowledge.
Cornered,
in this tainted room
that you and I built.
Afraid to move
for fear of stepping on
the broken glass
...you left.


Frail Like a crack in a bone,Frail by =OpheliaWhispers
gnarled knuckles trying to
grasp an inaudible moan,
flowing in and out and through.
I am awakened
to the sound of
something being abandoned;
the sound of a child being shoved.
The whistle of air
as the small body falls
and just happens to land square
against a wall.
Small and frail the body becomes old
aging before my eyes.
The change to frail is bold,
making loose ends tied.

Early Friday Morning branches and leaves of the treesEarly Friday Morning by ~7ucille
are silhouettes set against the starless indigo sky
i breathe in the night and
all the lovers sighing in their lovers' arms
sharing skin and the rhythm of their heartbeats
such sensuality in the air
there is something rich and darkly romantic
about the weather at 0309hrs
