somewhere out there
past the plasmatic cloud
shrouding the vast expanse of the universe;
trillions of light years
through space,
my words are heard
by the One Who
made energy into matter, animated it,
and made me to live within it
the great terrarium
teeming with creatures
only alive by the breath
of the Only One
of His kind.
a bag full of stones,
red and black
i cannot remove it
sewn to my back
(such is life)
uphill struggle i'm
just trying to live
and wanting to die.
but as i go
the weight is relieved;
i turn to see God
He says He'll carry it for me.
like claws
scraping my intestines
from within--
a blind beast
torrent through my brain
by and by.
rain now down upon me
cold, soothing water
once more flooding my
soul.
let my hair dance in the breeze,
let the wind lift me
let Your wings unfurl from my back
and carry me over the ocean.
because
i can't go on
like this.
i would like to say i was shocked when you made that decision. i would like to say i felt my heart shatter, my world topple over. but it didn't. it didn't, my sister, because i knew it all along. because every time i trusted a human they tried to kill me. no more. i won't be so easy to break anymore. i fought tooth and nail against the current with one arm, dragging your dead weight along behind me with the other. you were lifeless, but i didn't want to admit it. you were holding me back, but i didn't want to admit it. you were a priestess of an idol i struggle everyday to cast down. but back then it didn't seem so bad to me, and you seemed o
i struggled at my chains
iron chains
rusty chains
in myself all
snares on my wrists they
bit me like an alligator
chained to the wall all
legs aching and worn shoes
the broad path is too far
walking in circles out of control
(so confused)
i don't know where to go
that voice calling to me
they told me not to listen but
i need some way outta here
i need to take this mask off my face
cyborg heart
Only One Who'll listen
i'm coming home.
As the sun began to set, an elf girl named Yulaan headed home with a sigh. She wanted to play just a little longer, but Mama and Papa would worry.
One day while rolling down a hill, (for so did she entertain herself), she went crashing into a small thicket and found herself covered in a dome of white and blue flowers, the sunlight filtering through in thin rays. Delighted by the sight, she made it her personal, secret playground, one that even her only other playmate-- her younger sister-- knew not of.
However, as for her secret friend, Sin, she did not mind disclosing its location to him. Having met the strange little fox-serpent at a very
black horse
dead lion
skeletal head lifted from the grave
bites me
poison
poison
O GOD, i'm so sorry
please save me from
this necromancy i know is unbecoming
cigarrette hands
static television
an image just breaks through
my eyes strain to see
my heart--my heart!
i'm sorry
what place does the bird have
walking on the ground
after she has learned to fly?
i have eaten mine own eggs.
i'm sorry
when wolves ravaged
when lions tore
when mice came and ate it all up
you forgot?
i'm sorry
i lay on a bed of roses underground
the ravens lay flowers on my grave
from my flesh-prison
my soul is hooked and pulled
freedom from the aching of bones and trembling of flesh
i fly higher betwixt the wings of the ravens
the sun shining brightly,
while tears rain on my grave
"come back to us"
but i'm leaving to be with Another
Who has never betrayed me
"weren't we good to you"
"we know we stabbed you"
"in the belly and the back"
"but we have always been there for you"
you only want me back to use me
no, i'm returning
to the House of my Father
a prodigal daughter
redeemed by blood
somewhere out there
past the plasmatic cloud
shrouding the vast expanse of the universe;
trillions of light years
through space,
my words are heard
by the One Who
made energy into matter, animated it,
and made me to live within it
