A Hundred Halloweens Ago"A hundred years ago,
On the night of Halloween,
In a haunted mansion,
A young girl was seen.

She crept into the house,
And the door locked by itself,
And she was never seen since..."
-another cliché book on a shelf.

Just another haunted story,
That will chill your bones,
And try to tell you of ghosts,
That invade unsuspecting homes.

Just another story of zombies,
That crawl under your skin,
And creep into your dreams,
Then invite nightmares in.

Just another tale of Dark Fairies,
And creatures of blood,
And frankenstein monsters,
Rising from cemetery mud.

Just other tales of Grimhounds,
And shadows with red eyes,
A

. On . Enrollment . Day .I wish my frozen lips could tell you
-I wish you could somehow know-
Of how it breaks my heart
When I have to watch you go.

And I wish you could come back
How I wish you would return
But this weight in my chest
Is beginning to twist and burn.

See, I have this strange feeling
That we will never meet again
-That I'm going to lose you,
But it's not something I can explain.

So I have to watch you go
To watch you march up to death
In your smart, new army outfit
With the cold misting from your breath.

And right before you disappear
You turn and wave back to me,
With a gleaming smile on your face
-As happy as can be.

But I still

Only HumanMy friends, you all laugh at me
Because I'm scared of the dark.
But you don't seem to realise the danger
In your overgrown local park.

My mother drinks blood,
My father's recently retired from Hell,
In fact, my families criminal history,
Is going extraordinarily well.

One sister's a demon,
The other is a ghost
And maybe one sixteenth dead,
Though I don't mean to boast.

One of my brother's a warlock,
But never the good kind,
And another is a centaur
With a horses behind.

One twin hangs from the rafters
Like some Vampire Bat,
The second twin casts spells
And turns into a yellow-eyed, black cat.

So I'd warn against making f

Two Imperfect PiecesSo if I'm gasoline
.... you must be fire?
I'm passion,
And you're desire?
I'm the reason
Earth is turning,
You're the motive,
To keep Hell burning?
So since I am the dark,
You wouldn't be the night?
But as I'm not the sun,
You'll be the light?
I'm the go,
You're the stay,
I'm the work,
You're the play.
I'm the black,
You're the white,
I'm the peace,
You're the fight.
You're the ground,
I'm the sky.
You're the innocent,
So I'm the bad guy?
You're the drought,
I'm the flood,
And the gash;
You're the blood.
I'm the numb;
You're the pain.
You're the dry,
I'm the rain.
You hold the dreams,
That create the fears,
I

A Piece Saved For YouMy heart has only known you for a while,
And what you don't seem to get,
Is that you haven't ripped it into little pieces;
You've just changed from when we first met.

You seemed a little too… smiley,
I mean, about breaking us apart.
And then you seemed a little… confused,
When the blow didn't smash my heart.

I mean, sure, I was startled,
And, sure, it hurt like Hell.
Sure, it felt like I'd touched the moon,
Climbed to the edge, and then… fell.

But what you don't seem to realise,
Is that with every loved one I meet,
I give a fraction of my heart,
A little living… growing, treat.

So for the while my heart kne

A Leprechaun's GreedSitting so bored upon a pot,
Was a leprechaun one day,
Staring around at a world
Made of black, white and grey.

Mischievous and cunning,
With too much time on his hands,
He thought up a devious idea,
And sought to make plans.

He ventured in the forest,
And he rolled up his sleeves,
And started snapping off twigs,
And ripping off crumbled leaves.

He smashed up berries,
And stole honey from bees,
And tore up the roots
Of huge redwood trees.

He took feathers from nests,
And water from streams,
And finally stole raindrops
While clouds were lost in their dreams.

And he measured a tiny pinch of glitter,
Then he just took the w

Your Barbed Wire FenceThis barb wire fence
That's keeping you in,
Clutches at flesh
And grasps at skin.

This barb wire fence
That I can never break through,
It leaves me gasping
And begging for you.

You say this bard wire fence
Is what love's all about,
You say it keeps you together
But it only ever kept me out.

Time and time again
I have come to your door,
With blood on my hands
Because of our stupid war.

Well, from now on
I wish to play no part,
If it stops your bard wire fence
Snagging my wounded heart.

We Let Our World DieSometimes I wonder,
Sometimes I don't care,
If I shout out my heart,
And nobody's there,
And nobody's listening
To my screams and my pleas,
That nobody is watching,
When I beg on my knees.

Sometimes I wonder if it matters
That my voice isn't heard
That no matter how loud I shriek
You won't hear a word.
And sometimes I wonder;
If you heard -would you care?
Would you just carry on by,
Or would you stop, would you stare?

Would you pause for a second
And listen to what I have to say,
Or would you think I'm talking nonsense,
And just wave the thought away?
Stop! Don't turn your head.
I'm begging on my knees!
I need your atten

What Friends Are ForBehind that frozen lock,
You'll find a flaming key.
Is it the flaming lock,
Or the frozen key you wish to see?

Behind closed doors
is another closed door.
Are you sure you want to open it?
Are you sure you're sure?

Before the thick, castle walls,
You'll have to cross a moat.
You really gonna fight the guards,
With that hole in your sinking boat?

You'll have to grow your dreams,
Before you can reach the sky.
You'll have to battle with the clouds,
To even get that high.

Because I know you can do it.
You have the heart and the will.
I believe you will keep fighting,
Until your heart is still.

But if you find that flame is to

On a Hill, In a StormOn the top of a hill

On a stormy day,

When the wind caresses your limbs

Then dances away,

And leaves kiss your hair,

And thunder howls applause,

Do you ever wish

This love was yours?

Do you ever wish

someone else was there,

So that you could use

this storm to share

A moment of time,

-Just a minute or two-

So that someone you love

Could dance in the rain with you?

And I'm Still A GirlI am a girl,
       So I must love skirts
       And ball gown dresses
       Not rugby shirts.
I am a girl,
       So I must wear high heels
       And have long nails
       And eat tiny meals.
I am a girl,
       So I must be neat,
       And all tucked in
       With hair complete.
I am a girl,

With Love, From Me.I once wrote you a letter
Of words you'll never see.
Written directly to you,
And signed With Love, From Me.

But tears fell without my permission,
Before I had time to blink them back.
And turned the ink into ugly tattoos,
Until the words formed thick rivers of black.

They twist into monsters, these words,
as they tried to wrestle free.
But these letters are less than memories,
Signed With Love, From Me.

I write you a different letter,
So you need not read my pain.
But instead my anger tears the page,
So I light it, and start again.

And the smoke burns my grief,
And th

Our Endless BattleYour soul is a shadow,
The darkest of lights.
I will lay down my armour
And still win all our fights.
I'll march into battle,
When you declare war.
So tell me again;
What are we fighting for?
Is that what you want?
For one of us to fall?
Well, remind me once more;
Why are we fighting at all?
Is it fighting you love?
Or me you despise?
With blood in your wounds,
And tears in your eyes.
Your blade in your hand,
And helmet over your face,
Fighting for your life,
For your own disgrace.
Please, lay down your sword,
Wave that flag of pure white.
And I will stop this madness
And cease to fight.
But if you choose this battle

Stray BulletsHesitantly Breathe In
Asking have you ever felt so very awkward in your own skin?
Wanting then, to open your mouth; tell the nearest person;
"It doesn't fit"; Not anymore it doesn't; there's no room.
But they don't listen, so very jaded from every faded wish;

Dear AngelTrust me on this;

I'm not trying to deceive,

But I know in my mind,

That this is hard to believe.

But an unforgettable day in my life,

That I will never forget,

Was when a girl fell from the heavens,

And we somehow met.

And though her wings were missing,

And her halo was gone,

Even as surprised as she was,

Her eyes still shone.

Because her heart was in tact,

Her mind in the right place,

With fearless eyes,

She glared life in the face.

She marked out her goals,

And though the details were rough,

She still picks her way through life,

Like she can't get enough.

I've never seen her back down,

Or be swallowed in fear,

But rat

Storms and ParadiseI'd have sailed the seven seas to you,

Through storms and paradise,

Just so I could show you, my dear,

That you are my biggest sacrifice.

Every drop that slashes down, my dear,

Will disguise the teardrops upon of my face,

For I've fallen in the world of heartbreak,

That has taken over your place.

You made me cry a world of tears,

So I've tied them to my boat,

And left you back on land, my dear,

Just to keep my heart afloat.

These salt water waves over you,

In truth, they are yet to join the sea.

Because I'm a little ship in a big glass bottle,

My dear, and only you can set me free.

I'm a one chance deal.

I'm a secret gone wild,

I'm your very last meal.

Not a dirty rotten thief.

Alice in Wonderland,
Waves made of starlight,
And rose petal sand.
Alice, the doors too small!
Chase the Cheshire cat,
You are late for tea, young Alice,
With the mad man in the hat.
The flowers are talking to you, Alice
Trust what they have to say,
Alice, you must follow the rabbit!
Quick! -before he gets away.
Old caterpillar upon a leaf,
So very big and blue,
Might one day grow wings, fragile Alice,
A butterfly bright and new.
Your dreams are big, little Alice,
But the cake will make you tall,

Something broke in two.
And splinters shattered something else
That left pieces, very few.

Something snapped like frozen ice,
And showed innocence Proven guilty.
Something snapped like a hang mans rope,
And set a defenceless innocent free.

Something snapped like Tinder,
Or just lIke a hunters whip,
And set about casting flamEs,
And caught flesh in its fiery grip.

Something snapped like a Needle,
Before it Could fix thread.
Something snapped like a voicE,
Before it could repeat what wasn't said.

Something snapped like lightening
And forked through a blackened night.
And left everybody blinded

Love is LoveIf we had to live in a world,

Where we had no sight,

It would still be comforting

For someone to hold you at night.

If we were to live in a world

That has no odour or smell,

Flowers on your door step

Would still make your heart swell.

If we were to live in a world

That has no ability to taste,

A night with someone you love

At dinner could never be a waste.

If we were to live in a world

That gave us no sound,

You would still recognise a heart beat

When a loved one is around.

Now imagine you live in world

Where you have absolutely no

A i r b o r n eWe will remain airborne,
  Together in the sky.
    With each others wings,
  Flyings worth a try.
But things don't stay the same;
  This'll get better in the end,
    And if it doesn't then maybe,
  Just maybe we can still be friends,
Because these things will change,
  And though they'll remind me of you,
    These walls will crash down
  And the floor with fall through.
And we'll get back to our feet,
  And we'll sort it all out,
    Because I hate the way we are now;

Death's Dance

by ~DizzyMac, Aug 4, 2011, 2:43:19 AM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Songs & Lyrics

I made an acquaintance with Death today,
As we happened on each other by chance.
Nervous and shy, with no reason why,
I had to deny his invite to Dance.

I spoke with Death again today,
As he helped my father away from the pain.
With not a second to spare, he told me to take care,
And ensured, one day, we would meet again.

I arranged to meet with Death today,
As I leapt into the grasp of the river flow.
Waters offered a home upon a riverbed throne,
But Death refused to show.

Old, and wrinkling, with even a limp,
I met Death today, in my sleep.
He took my hand, and, with a flourish so grand,
He repaid the deal he had promised to keep.

So, in the light of a thousand stars,
Death and I danced to the music of the world.
With Death's slow beat guiding under my feet,
An eternity in his wonderful Dance unfurled. . .
