my candlelight darling

About someone I used to know (you'll laugh if you find out) Her eyes were bright and heavenly Like amber dripping honey-sweet And she was pure and beautiful With all her lovely shining smiles And hair like golden candlelight Against a dark and stormy night And she was sweet as morning dew Until the day she died

What I Never Told You

I never told you this, but when I hear you speak, it takes me a little while to process and determine whether what you said was lyrics to a song or not; all your words sound like music. I never told you this, but I think we're going to be friends forever. I've said it before, but I don't think I ever meant it so much. I think you're so wonderful, so wise and beautiful, inside and out. You're amazing, and I'm so glad that for once in my life I had the courage to talk to a stranger, to be one of the people who opens up to the 'new girl'. I'm so happy we have each other. I never told you this, but when you and I were we, I hit That Point. I di

I'll wait another thousand years. And never take another breath, Lest I should disturb the stillness in my heart Where there once was you And now there just is air. Your memory remains; Soft, quiet, but there. When the nightbird calls In the gently breathing darkness of this land; Love brought me under the mountain, Love will bring me home.

Alice

Her name was Alice, and she was beautiful. Long hair fell in a dark river over her shoulders, down to the small of her back, hair that shone with star-like brilliance. Her friends always loved to brush it. Even the golden-headed cheerleaders were jealous. All the boys would grab strands of it and tug gently, small smiles on their lips. I understood them perfectly. She was the perfect height; not too tall, nor too short. And she was slim, but not spindly. She had curves, carved out of flawless pale marble. Her skin was smooth and supple, stretched over her bones, thin enough to see her veins in places. Her bones were not jutting, but visible

An Introduction

The girl stands in a kitchen, staring out the window. She runs slim white fingers through her dark hair, still short and somewhat spiky from a recent cut. She'd done it herself; the month and a half she'd spent at a beauty college somewhere in southern California meant she no longer bothered getting it cut professionally. She'd liked southern California. The people had mostly been laid-back, at least along the beachfront, and it was warm even in the late fall, when she'd been. But as always, she'd had to move on. She couldn't stay in one place very long; it just wasn't in her nature. And once her laundry-what few clothes she bothered to keep

all the china bird-bones scattered in heaps all the tattered clothes still clinging to their owners and a hollowed-out building with walls all tumbled down all the survivors hiding in the one-time safe places nowhere is safe now we can all remember the end even the youngest ones most people ended up dead but we are still surviving and we're here in among the bleached bones and the broken-down vehicles all the fallen-down stones the remnants of the last day before the world ended

the blue mirror

blue lips and burning dark eyes and a hole endless where his heart should be he feeds on love and light and he was the only one that stayed the same as he was in her world of monsters he was the only one who didn't transform into something darker him with his royal blue lips and burning dark eyes and a tall girl with a purple-fingered necklace and a little girl who likes kissing and they run from his darkness his empty lies and all of them silent blue-lipped children

unreined

I can feel the gold gleam in my eyes and every ripple of muscle in my thin form every hair follicle at attention whole body tensed to spring I am ready to run, to fight balanced delicately on the edge of a knife and I have to rein myself in or the trouble I'll get myself into will be far too much for such a light day and surface-wise I am young, slightly soft while inside this body I am feral my cold calculations aren't run-of-the-mill these thoughts that flood my head are dark it would be so easy to rip out his throat but I, am caged, I cannot fight I cannot, die
