Dust fluffed with each step Josette took, her heavy boots kicked up cloud after cloud as she lugged her duffel across the open expanse. Music poured from the site ahead, and people moved past her, hurrying to the show. She could feel the music growing louder, the deep bass pushing her heart faster, pulsing along with the blood in her veins. It was a part of her, and she it.

Compressing down
Pressing deep
holding on
To a slippery dream
Pain still felt
through a fuzzy haze
Fear of whats to come
What is hidden inside
Buried in the body
Traitorous traits
betraying the host

It's a beautiful fall day, a crisp late afternoon with the smells of winter beckoning and promising nightfall all too soon. I'm walking home with you, a smiling and happy facade; keeping you completely unaware of the turmoil squirming and screaming in my mind. I half listen as you animatedly fill me in on what I missed last week on our favorite trashy teen drama. I know that I can't come with you to your house. I know that if I go in the last two weeks won't have mattered, but I can't stop. I turn with you towards your street without any hesitation.
You ask me again about the surprise vacation my parents spirited me away two weeks ago.
You rip me out of my home.
Take away my world.
Call me an ignorant heathen.
Press a bible to my hand,
And cut away my heritage.
Cast aside, like the offal
From a discarded carcass.
Throw out the bits
You find unpleasant.
Show off your tamed Injun.
Your proper school girl.
I can still dream.
Of open grass, and peace.
Of freedom to believe
Whatever I choose.
Laying in her bunk Cricket looked at the ceiling, wondering when the morning trumpets would blare, ruining the peaceful serenity of the early wilderness air. The smell of dead campfires from the previous night permeated through the mustard yellow canvas tent flaps, reminding her of the previous night's talent contest, and how she and Rosa lost to those stupid boys from Tent J. Who cares that they nearly perfectly reenacted the Beatles "Help", it was nothing compared to the dance routine she and Rosa painstakingly created and persuaded the rest of their tent to perform with them. Rosa did amazingly, such graceful movements. Rosa.
Cricket
Half gone
Half here
Half pain
Half Sorrow
Half tomorrow
That's when I see you again
Hardly a hummingbirds wind we've been apart
Yet it feels as if I have lost you
There is a hole in my chest that you fill
There is a place in my heart named you
Right now it's empty and barren
I think of sleeping tonight
In our bed
Alone
Half gone
Half here
Half pain
Half Sorrow
Half tomorrow
It's time we meet a little boy named Sammy
This boy was always honest and good
He was the epitome of a proper little boy
Never would his family nor friends leave him alone
His smile and laugh were oh so sugary sweet
At night he would lay and of silence dream
He would try and pretend to always be good
They would call and cry and never let him alone
He received every gift of which any boy would dream
He would thank them and smile ever so sweet
Take every toy from every girl and boy
They would giggle and smile and say "Oh Sammy!"
All he wanted was a single moment alone
You know they say teeth will rot with too much sweet
So this is

The Truth of Romeo and Juliet
That time has come, the moment for you to savor
Your final act is done, you will feel pain no more
The vial drops from your finger tips, you look at your love
Pressing yours to her dead lips, her beauty as that of a dove
You feel the ice ravage you, you stare at her eyes
They open it can't be true, you know it has all been lies
Seeing you at peril, her lips twist into a smile
You feel the poison kill, those few drops from the vial
She rises and walks away, leaving you to die
This truly was your day, you think as she says good bye
You know my heart, you know my soul
We believed in love and beauty
We thought it would never finish
But you had a weakness within
Your eyes and spirit dark as kohl
What I have done is my duty
My love will never diminish
Even to my own hearts chagrin
My spirit cannot pay your toll
The price is not worth the booty
Too difficult to relinquish
Now I have only to begin
The roses in my garden died long ago
Wilting and fading into memory
Time passes neither friend nor foe
Rubbing at my mind like emery
Silky red petals turning to dust
Blowing away upon the wind
Taking with it all my love and lust
Goddess knows I've sinned
Hoarding to myself natures grace
Her one and only true obsession
I relinquish her holy embrace
To have the rose in my possession
Can some one tell me what love feels like?
I cannot seem to remember one moment
Have I just swung my third strike?
I believe all of my chances are spent
Could my soul have no mate to find
Could there be no one out there across the plane
My own spirit it seems has fallen blind
And pain falls through my heart like rain
Now to those that know this illustrious emotion
I have but one lowly simple task
'Tis only one small mental notion
Can you tell me what love feels like I ask
~PROLOGUE~
Pain swamped her forehead as her eyes opened a sliver, and sunlight from her window flashed in her eyes. Her alarm clock was screaming at her, telling her it was time to wake up to another wonderful day. Delilah groaned and grabbed her alarm clock, covering her eyes with her pillow. With a quick tug she pulled it out of the socket and threw it across the room, making yet another dent in her already pockmarked wall.
She was drifting back to sleep, slipping away from her thundering headache when, it felt like she had been asleep just a moment, she heard the front door to her house open

Brainwashing the good things
Brainwashing the good things.
In an effort to start believing in things
I have locked myself in a room
With a TV and a VCR--
I have loaded up on the classics:
The ones which make your heart skip
When you hear those lines
But fall flat when I hear them.
A nonstop marathon
Of tight embraces and storybook endings
And stomach turning plot turns
And beautifully crafted words
Flowing from the glossed lips of
Perfectly speaking English men
I'll sit in that room, hours on end
Eyes forced open with duck tap and electrical shocks
Connected to my ear lobes.
I'll watch the unbearable perfection of

As I'm writing this poem I realized that much of what is on the page is very VERY old. And as the saying goes... I think it's time to put away childish things. I'm going to delete old pieces and photos and revamp my page here to go with the mindset and maturity leve I am at now. I will save the pieces but I feel as I write that I must break away from my limitations. I can't seem to write anything I love outside of a four line stanza ABAB rhyming structur
I'm taking all my poetry and maybe some of the short stories and making a print book. I will be making a website portfolio soon, and if there is any interest from any still here please let me know.
I don't know who all has heard about this but there was an 8.9 Earthquake yesterday.
I'm going to post some quotes from news stories along with link to their own stories. Talk to your families and friends about the various charities and giving blood. I would be donating but I can't right now because of my recent peircings. Please you guys, help out.
