Declaration

Many girls dream of their Prince Charming

And their Knight in Shining Armour

The man who can hold them with impossible strength and power

For they are weak, undeveloped and unsure

They want to be taken on the adventures they hear others speak of

Dream of and wish for

They want power and crave strength

But think it is not something for them

Others settle for simple thrills

Momentary pleasure and passing passions

Empty and tiresome

Needing no Knight, no Dark One, no Prince

I just want The One beside me

As we go on together

And if he is not strong enough to take me on adventures

Then hold on to my hand and I'll take You.

Botany

Praying on blue roses for impossible wishes

Cherry blossoms are a fog at the edge of my dreams

Forget-me-nots a shade of violet that impress on memory

Poppies are a gloomy end

And the language of the flowers

Make me think of England

When you've seen their beauty

Then learn all their flaws

And can say:

"I think I love you more"

Just a thought

Can I be your siren?

Your secret angel,

Your shining star,

Your light?

Because you're mine.

Some interesting news

So, I decided to gather lots of my poems into one manuscript and try to get it published. I am also gathering together my random writings (paragraphs, essays, plain journal entries, etc.) as another manuscript.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should arrange it? I was thinking of themes or chapters, but so far I have simply been going by the most recent date, and working backwards. Also, does anyone know who I should talk to about this? Any suggestions would be really nice to hear. Thanks everyone.

A childhood regret

I regret losing the confident person I was.

I knew I could do so much.

I still think there are things I can do, but I only think.

And some days, the voice is so quiet, I can't believe I can hear it.

Robotic Heart, Cyber Eye

Inside this hallow

It has hidden

For decades, years and centuries

This little portal

A place where all pleasure lies

To crave and touch

An animal or human thing?

To watch and wait

As a passionate nature flairs

To be watched and admired

A sedate nature rocks the core

This simple blend

Earth and Fire

Grows and Burns

Does it work?

Does it combine well?

Who knows?

I still think I'll burn you.
