Completely Half-Way by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Completely Half-Way

I'm hopeless, wandering through corridors I've already wandered, and thinking of changes I've already pondered, Hoping that maybe, this time, the outcome would be different. That I would not find myself, trapped at a dead end, that you'd give your heart to me, and my own would mend. But I've nothing left to give, my insides left bare, if it is not me you need, Please, my heart do spare. Don't tell me things you don't mean, things you do not feel, despite what you may have thought, my heart is not steal No longer will I wander, through corridors I know, love me completely, or completely let me go.

Why? by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Why?

Why can I not let go, of something that was never there? Why do I feel such pain, like my heart were left completely bare? I feel I have nothing to hold on to, nothing to keep me from falling. This heart-breaking pain is never ending, like time was forever stalling. I crave the warmth of your arms, the sweetness of your kiss, but no longer are these mine, and that I dearly miss. I helplessly watched, as you continually pulled away, but now I know, that I can never make you stay. My heart has bled too much, my insides torn apart, my cheeks are stained with tears, yet this to you I impart: You were my first, and I will

JOY by peppermint981, literature

Literature

JOY

Some dreams are lost to us Blown by the winds Of harsh reality, Yet it is faith That pulls us through. Our hearts can be broken Torn by rough hands Of lies and carelessness, Yet it is compassion That heals the wound. The world can weaken Shaken by pain Of hate and ignorance, Yet it is love That keeps us standing. Although Pandora's box was great I am filled with joy For I know That my blessing are even greater.

For Fear Of Silence by peppermint981, literature

Literature

For Fear Of Silence

This entanglement, Is more than I can bear I don't want to feel this, And yet, I want to feel something. Where exists, A place to hide, From who I am? Where exists, A place to hide, From what's within? I need to escape, If only for a moment, I need to feel the ocean breeze, I need to know who I am. It's an endless road, Going nowhere, I don't know where to go, Or if it is even possible, To return home. I don't understand, but maybe I would, if only I could think, If only I could breath. But I keep moving anyways, For fear of silence.

Osculum Mecum by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Osculum Mecum

A moment in time, so beautiful and sweet, you reach for my hand, and my heart skips a beat. You flash that smile, that I can't help but love, if only you knew, how often you're thought of. You pull me closer, and wrap me in your arms, I must be honest, I'm helpless to your charms. I stare up at you, into your eyes deep blue, if words could express, how deeply I love you. You lean into me, whispering words so sweet, your lips are on mine, and my heart feels complete. When I am near you, my heart just seems to melt, as it sings with joy, of love I've never felt. ~peppermint981

I Fear What Will Remain by peppermint981, literature

Baby I Love You by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Baby I Love You

Without you, the midnight sky just is not as bright. My beating heart, just is not as light. I'm needing you more, with each passing day, and to be honest, I've never felt this way. You are so very sweet, your heart is so true, you treat me so well, I love this in you! I am greatly blessed, for you fill me with bliss, nothing compares, to your sweet, sweet kiss. I love your smile, and your eyes deep blue, but most of all, Baby I love you!

Hold Me by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Hold Me

Please don't speak, of how it'll be better. Please don't tell me, of how it'll just take time. All I need, is for you to hold me, kiss me slowly, and let me cry. No words exsist, that could make me feel better. No wish to be said, that would make it all disappear. All I need, is for you to hold me, kiss me slowly, and let me cry. This is all I ask, this all I need. Sweet love of mine, please wrap me in your arms, and let this pain, be washed away. I need no words to comfort me, I just need you to hold me.

Empty by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Empty

You told me that you loved me, you told me that you cared. I believed every word, and my heart with you I shared. You took away everything, that I was able to give. And now I'm left empty, no energy left to live. My love for you was different, but now I'm seeing clear. You never really loved me, you never held me dear. I was just a girl to you, that you could keep taking from. But I thought that I could change this, and now I know that I was dumb. No matter how many tears, run down my red-stained cheeks, filling up this hole, is going to take more than weeks. I'm empty in my broken heart, for my love is deeply torn, bu

Winter Chill by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Winter Chill

On cold nights like these, I have no one to ease, this chilled winter breeze, this cold, lonely freeze. Bare branches bend, to the midnight wind. The half-shaped moon lies, in it's dark, hazy skies. Dreaming of the day, when I'll be able to say, Winter no longer resides, in my lonely heart insides. Pure white flakes, fall on frozen lakes. Everything in sight, turns to a powdered white. But the winter chill, is not enough to fill, the lonely feeling that's been, for me, so long deep within. On cold nights like these, I have no one to ease, this chilled winter breeze, this cold, lonely freeze.

Hold On by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Hold On

When the pain becomes so thick, it fogs the road ahead. When your heart becomes so crushed, its strength feels mostly dead. Take the hand of hope, and hold on. When the endlessly flowing tears, will not heal the scars within. When you surely begin to fear, You will never mend. Take the hand of faith, And hold on. When the road you're traveling, feels mostly barren and cold. When your heart is crumbling, and there's no one left to hold., Take the hand of prayer and hold on. When the light ahead is fading, and you fear you will lose your way. When the dark is so suffocating, Its hard to get through the day. Take the hand

Aching Heart by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Aching Heart

My heart aches within, to see you one last time. To hold you in my arms, and tell you that I loved you. Why have you left me, to go through this life alone? When will my heart stop, crying out for you? I crave your soft touch, to feel your breath against me. The words you'd whisper to me, as you held me close. A piece of my heart, Will always belong to you. No matter where I travel, or who I may meet. You may not be here, to heal my aching heart. But baby you're my love, and that will never change.

How do I? by peppermint981, literature

Literature

How do I?

How do I put into words the feelings I feel when you are near me and I am wrapped in your arms? How do I describe to you the longing I feel when you are not close and I crave to hear your voice? How do I express to you the quick rush I feel when you kiss me soft and all I can see is you? How do I explain to you the comfort I feel when my day is bad and I know you truely care How do I honestly show you the extent I'd go to make you happy and make your day worth wild? How do I put into words the feelings I feel? My heart is forever yours for I believe I love you.

Pain by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Pain

My heart hurts so much, to know that I can't reach you. What is wrong with me, what is it that you don't see? I'd give up my happiness, to make your day seem bright. But no matter what I say, you seem to pull away. I want to be there for you, just ask me anything. I'd listen to your fears, I'd kiss away your tears. Why won't you talk to me, let me view you from inside? Instead of seeing your heart, I'm left wondering in the dark. I can't keep holding on, when there's nothing left to grasp. For though I'm ever yearning, deep within I'm greatly hurting. Goodbye sweet love, until that day, when we are meant to be.

Wait for Me by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Wait for Me

Wait for me, sweet love, till the approaching of the night. I will come to you, oh love, in the mystic world of dreams. I'll wrap you in the stars, cover you with roses. Hold you in my arms, and give to you my heart. Why must this moment, slip so quiclkly away? So long I've waited for you, but time won't let me stay. Kiss me gently, my love, for the clock is ever ticking. Pull me closer, oh love, for soon I will be taken. The dawn is approaching, and this world I must leave. But I will always think of you, till another dream. Wait for me, sweet love, till the approaching of the night. I will come to you, oh love, in

These Days by peppermint981, literature

Sunset by peppermint981, literature

Literature

Sunset

How could anybody doubt, the existence of God? When in front of them, lies the beauty of his creation. Wind swept beaches, touched by the rolling waves. An ocean sailed by many, their past hidden beneath its depths. A portriat of colors, brushed across the sky. Peace never experianced, expressed through the eyes. Breath-taking in all its beauty, as the soft sea air blows. My soul's haven, my hearts key.

The Sacred Feminine by foolishheart, literature

Literature

The Sacred Feminine

Under gentle guise of clouded night, feel the Sacred burning bright; wither stars while fortune fades, dawn is breaking a bloodless day. Encamp in ruins from ancient time, brush against the mossy grime, fill this castle once again, rising to our darkest sin. Duality battles, a fateful foe bringing us to balanced pose; light the match to spark the flame, casting light on covered shame. Drink with vigor while they drought, we'll lap this peace with hungry mouths, when famine ends, they'll hunt again, Savor lost pleasure while you can.

You Don't Even Know My Name by tiger-eyes, literature

Literature

You Don't Even Know My Name

A touch that wasn't real lays softly on my cheek. Like angel wings its there but gone once I awake. I remember, the look in your eyes soft and gentle, wanton and bright. You had wakened from a sweet dream and turned to see my face, a smile growing. I talked, you didn't, not a word just the simple smile that hushed my lips. A hand gently stroked my face down my arm and to my hand. You took my hand, laid it on your form Warm, ever warm you felt. I still remember, it won't depart Still there deep deep in my heart. Now I'm awake, you're not here I see you now and then. But you really don't care, here in the real world you don't

The Art of Dreams by foolishheart, literature

Literature

The Art of Dreams

Your bittersweet presence, callously stirring up forgotten memories as if it were a gentle breeze, ruffling my hair. Your kiss as gentle and sweet as succulent honey, delicious to the taste devouring, searching, possessing. Your hands caressing my body, playing softly over it as a musician loves his instrument, fine tuning and discovering its every secret. Your child-like face surrounded by a glorious halo, lit as if by the very touch of Dawn herself. just as the sun spills like wine over dewy grass, staining it with golden riches belonging only to kings, She makes her voyage into the day, chastely driven by Apollo's lus

Sleeping Beauty by foolishheart, literature

Literature

Sleeping Beauty

She's trapped away to their delight, locked away, extinguished light Society's condemning smiles waiting with their hidden fangs reaching out to engage their hate of all who are not alike. Now she sleeps, covered by her dreams shut away by their lies, her world glowing white around her gloried in her tranquilized fate their perfect sleeping beauty. She dared to be different attracting their animosity glaring at her as she walked by liquid mercury hides her light they called her insane Now she sleeps, covered by her dreams shut away by their lies, her world glowing white around her gloried in her tranquilized fate their per

Wasteland by foolishheart, literature

Literature

Wasteland

I returned to a place that I knew well and on my journey, I stopped for a spell, at a temple I loved, that had once thrived but its riches were plundered, and its splendor has died. Where once grandeur was unsurpassed, and flourishing gardens held well-trodden paths a raven beauty walked the night free to dream of promised life, but destruction fell apon this place its glories fading, soon erased. Dreams have fallen and love is gone, she wastes away while the night is young. Dancing dead dreams by the night's ghostly pallor, she twirls and spins in her envisioned high tower. She waits for a savior but none shall appear,

Doppelganger by sharkoftheday, literature

Literature

Doppelganger

. Shadows trod upon ground obscure Steady paces placed on uncertainty Chance and fate a guiding force For the shadows lost in this forest Existing in days of sleep And nights of wakefulness They hide when exposed, being left unseen But then in the hour of their element Feel vulnerable in body when their soul is free To come alive and adjoined To oneself; No longer to mimic The object of longing and fear;

Home Sweet Hell by foolishheart, literature

Literature

Home Sweet Hell

Soft music spills gently from the room across the hall, mingled with the hum of the air conditioner, drowning out the memories of the morning screaming through the silence. The war-torn inhabitants of this battleground each fighting for their own survival, rest now in their separate stations, suiting up for the next untimely war, never on the verge of peace. The latest battle field scrubbed sparkling clean, no trace of the latest bloodshed. But no matter how white-washed this place still contains it's old scars, come back to taunt us in the darkest hours of the morning, as we sleep in sunshine dreams, to be woken by the cu

If and when you ever come back I will be watching, waiting, something like that.

hello

hi how are you doing? I've been away so long, and I just thought I'd stop by, and I saw your note. Sorry I've been gone so long! Life's been busy, and on top of that I've moved. Hopefully when the computer gets plugged up again, I'll come back.

hope you're doing well!
