the beginning like snake eyes in a casino
we found each other
through the miracle of chance-

a muse like no other;
your thoughts rained on me
and i only wished that i transcribed into words
your beautiful mind.

you were my cure for literary apraxia;
like CPR for a crippled mind
you revived my reason to record
in words, what people like me
see, hear and feel in their everydays.

there was no beginning
that defined when you started
speaking through my pen as if possessed
by ghosts of famed reckoning-

i think that you were always there,
waiting to be realized
by the dice of fate.the beginning by ~sto67

moonlight her eyes gleamed of mischief,
as a smile like the crescent moon
lit up the room with a dreamlike
wonderment

and they froze in synchrony
like a swiss timepiece, awestruck
by the accuracy in which her facial expressions
tug on every nearby heartstring.

her moonlight flows
beneath a white night gown;
it permeates the pores of fabric
that billow like untied sails
as the wind blows.

if she is the moon, then i am not
the ocean of puppets that rise and fall
to her every whim-

she is a quaint existence;
she waxes and wanes like the moon,
but still her gravity
will bend the tides and illuminate
the colour of night.

the shape of us we are a coin
of immeasurable denomination,
one which no mint can hope
to reproduce.
paired together, we are faces
that never see eye to eye.

we are pen and paper,
just a piece of literature
for all to read.
for the reader, we are a profundity
on a ream of toilet paper;
another scratching on the bathroom stall.

we are half a glass
that stands alone on the dining table,
casting shadows that glitter
as the liquid swirls and spills over-
we are a container
whose contents refuse to be held.

we are a secret
that we like to hide
pressed against our chests.
gift wrapped by limbs and tied
by longing gazes.
we are our preciousthe shape of us by ~sto67

hey, you, the one with doubts and forlorn eyes
watching the lights spiral across
the dusty floor,

hear me out:
like a scratchy vinyl,
put the needle on and play until
this self titled record stops-

please, stop fidgeting and sweating rivers
i only want a conversation
as equals;

i will listen to you once my music ends,
so follow my voice and jump into
where my words start and maybe
you might walk my path and find
new meaning to your being here.

read my lips and listen close,
i will say this once and once only
to you the ones with uncertain hearts,
unopened ears and thoughts unentertained,

to you, the one walking away from me

for catherine, 233 years from now come on, my stargirl
let go,
let's dance and wrap ourselves in
manymiriadmoltenmirrored worlds.
i'm thinking it's a sign that we don't have freckles in our eyes
that instead of being mirror images
we are a binary system stretched too far by circumstance.
we'll sing, we'll become orion's hipbone
and andromeda's sisters,
we will call out to pretty boys with lonely eyes until
the art of being beautiful intergalactic sirens
weaves itself into my boneblood
your fissioncore
our hearts.
we are nothing and everything alike:
if I were a dancer you would be an astronaut;
i would reach for the stars at the top of a graceful arch

unreasoned woe I did not turn to watch the storm
instead I placed pennies on my eyes
and heard flowers fight against the wind.

In regret I blacken, scorched like meat
and milk spewed on the street for midday sun.
I turn from blessed rings to float in
and out of almost forgotten sleep.
Its relief, like tulip tips, green
and piercing the snow, like sneakers
hanging from power lines, like my father
's voice, low.unreasoned woe by `imperfect

pulled the jungle underground she's the genius with hair like fire
and eyes like
valkyrie storms
a dare and a
Morse code

(s.o.s)
the girl that smells like rain
and walks like she flirts:
like she knows
she knows she's going to go down like a kamikaze
cherrybomb-redhead-danger girl.
she's a margarita that forgot about the hangover
your bubblegum brainiac
the deadliest kiss-o-gram
you've ever
seen
she's the girl with the brain and the body and the
boyfriend [friend(boyfriend)friend]

girl's got spirit (spark, spunk, song)
she's got hope trapped in lipstick
or perfect nail polish
and she puts it on to face the

Stranger Still No phone number
Instead, a ring of water (still)
drying on the coffee table

(an unclosed bracket left you

feeling uneasy

so did foreign language,
not a name attached to a face,

but of three-and-twenty odd dollars
over two cups of coffee

she strides like a sea walker,
each step rippling outwards
in search of a kindred being.

this echolocation finds nothing-
angry waves crash her delicate signals
now as confused as her footsteps
balanced upon the water's skin.

she falters and begins to sink-
a dangerous game to play Jesus
and not know how to swim.

soft hands slap against the cold hard surface
as she flounders for a grasp on reality.
her belief keeps her afloat
for now.

the water stings her face,
evidence of struggle and suffering.
her figure frames a distorted self portrait
as she crawls back to her feet-

on the other side of sane.

Muse

Listening to: Ayaka - yasashii ao
Watching: game of thrones

A muse is very important to a writer. There absolutely needs to be something for an artist to keep doing what they do, otherwise there cannot be anything created.

I have been without a muse for a long time to be honest and have been running on fumes, so there hasn't been much written coming from me. Music usually does it for me, whenever I hear something amazing I will tend to be inspired to write from that. Once upon a time it was people, conversations with people will move me to write.

I guess that is where my writing style comes from, I always write about relationships between people, between objects and between ideas.

We will see if I can find a muse again. What is yours?

A little about me:

I joined in 2003 as a method of venting my emotions through "poetry", eventually that changed into a way for me to share my thoughts with the world as I learnt more and more about writing in general. After a 3 year stint and my failing patience, I decided it was best for me to leave the site since it was no longer any fun writing for an audience.

5 years later I came back and here I am. There is nothing a bit of life experience and maturity won't fix. I am here to once again share my thoughts with people and show you the world from my perspective.

Main subject matter I write about is human relations, and how people deal with one another.
