Oh! The world hath been cruel to me.
By what water nurtures me presently
It has often mocked me. She lures me with her material gleam
And yet as I reach for it, naught is gained but all is lost.
She escapes my fingers and by that She runs:
Her road exhaust of rhythm and joy
And my existence spent therewith.
Hear not the stream and reject Her lies.
Her mendacious nature seeks to speak so, but turn away!
For Her laughter as She falls to far fathoms
Are built upon these tears of mine.
Sisters in fate but differ in nature,
These hath my soul coursing its being
And shall go to where I lead.
Lies. The bed of my looming sleep.

She wondered where he was. Eyes shut and a strong, steady breath; pulsating. He lay there and they simply were. No words, no judgments, and no need to fill in the lingering silences that were widowed by a passion long gone. She looked at him and at the light that spilled onto his skin. They hadn't had a moment like this since it began.
The air was dry and it was hard for her to breathe. Every draw of breath pierced through her lungs and pulled her reluctant body upwards. He was sleeping, his back towards her, but she was feeling as if there was a connection there that decided to latch onto them by some whimsical wish. Was it happiness? Was t
My name's Isobel.
Betrothed to a dream,
A hope of days gone by
That I do not spend counting
The hours. The sands of it
Suffocate me. Drizzling so slowly
Like the ever looming rain, thirst
Quenching rain, down the fathoms
Of my parched throat. Each grain jeering
At my foolishness. At the stupidity
Of coming off that high horse
I held so dear. The grains washed
Away that horse. Engulfing that
Safeguard with ferocious speed.
Almost as quick as the daylight
That trickles by and steals the night.
The night behests me, wields
Breaking power over me to do as ye will.
Do as ye will. That is to put your hands
Around my neck, though
Just let me linger,
Let me dream on,
I want to stay in your arms.
Just let me linger,
I want to lie by you,
All the time is not enough.
Just let me linger,
Let us share this breath,
I'm in you and you're in me.
Just let me linger,
Take this dance slowly,
Let the music drown the time.
Just let me linger,
Let me stay with you tonight.
Time over looks us,
Its sands slipping through my fingers,
Each grain fits so perfectly,
Like your hands.
The world surpasses us,
Each fabric lost in its meaning,
Looking so deep into my soul,
Like your eyes.
The wind gently cradles us,
The breeze in a dance with my spirit,
Holding me so tightly, so safely,
Like your arms.
The sea setting us to a rhythm,
Pulsing with the beats of my heart,
Swaying me to completion,
Like your soul.
Spotlight,
All eyes on you,
Feel your breath quicken,
As you draw your strength from attention.
Silence,
Drink it up,
Before you let it out,
Let your emotions out as music.
Oh!
And it is heard,
Every vowel scrutinized,
Experienced like you can never yourself.
Beauty,
Heavenly earthbound,
Like a leakage of your soul,
Flooding the hall of ears.
Blood,
Pulsing with adrenalin,
Rushing through you, calling,
Calling for you to keep going, keep dazzling.
Words,
Hardly remembered,
Forgotten as an instinct,
It's your heart that's speaking.
One note,
Held on until the impact comes,
The music stops but a new wave takes over,
In my heart,
My heavy heart,
I carry the pain,
That I see.
In my eyes,
My clear eyes,
I see the world that,
No one can see.
In my fist,
My bleeding fist,
I show you the world,
As it is.
In my voice,
My raspy voice,
I shout out the words,
No one can hear.
In my tears,
My ever-flowing tears,
I reflect the hate,
Of rejection.
In my soul,
My crying soul,
I give the love that,
No one gives.
In my strength,
My worn out strength,
I hold the world as,
One world.
Goodbye,
Ensued by a longing stare,
At the door in which you entered,
Like another world.
Without me.
The wind laps at my feet,
Like the same that took my breath away,
The one created by you,
Unknowingly.
In your heart.
Thoughts of you,
Only you, that my existence depends on,
So similar to the home-like water,
I live for.
It\'s like a thirst.
Footsteps,
Like the beating of my rhythmic heart,
As I keep thinking of you,
I can't stop.
Unquenchable.
Home,
But not exactly, not without you,
Time grows too long when I am,
Separated.
It's my demise.
Morning,
The frantic shrieking of the phone,
Soothed by only your voice,

Addiction of All Sorts by lutharen-lamath, literature
Literature
Addiction of All Sorts
Addicted to your adoration,
Loving you in oblivion,
Of all that is around us,
Isn't there only you and I?
I fell in love with our silence,
The simple static between us,
Lit silently without a word,
We never needed the words.
I seem to thrive upon your touch,
The shocking sensation of life,
Returning into my system,
Like lightning through my skin.
Digging in for more sweet words,
Like the greedy child that I am,
Filling me completely,
With all that I could ever need.
I need to stop such addiction,
This addiction of all sorts,
This has taken me over,
I'm taken without a fight.
The hidden deadly enemy,
That delves under your skin,
It couldn't be your fantasy,
When it makes you turn and spin.
Their weapons are their numbers,
That binds you in your mind,
You then search for the answers,
Any that you could find.
Your kingdom for those few pounds,
A reward to lose them all,
Your kingdom for defeating them,
You vowed to never fall.
Holding strong in your blind faith,
That beauty is to the bone,
Disregard what they say is safe,
You're in this all alone.
The enemy slowly fades away,
But then, dear, so did you,
Who was once a beauty in her days,
When she was a fuller view.

And I'm back. Though I do not know for how long. Each time I return, I feel as if I've fallen into a vat of wine. I feel drunk on the past, the sense of creativity. Do I still have it in me? I've merely channeled it elsewhere.
I still appreciate every comment, every bit of love shown. Thanks for the support. And when the poetry and the photography returns. It all shall return.
I cannot believe its longevity.
I instinctively like your writing; its captivating, quietly beautiful, effortless, enduring. I can offer no higher praise, and avidly await other works.
Thank you for your amazing support! I haven't been on for such a long time, but I really do feel honoured that you enjoy my work. Thank you again, bless you!
I'm really impressed in your work to say the least. You say you just dabble in photography, but I'm sure you are better than I in every way. You said you do a different type of photography, but you have done everything I do and more.
Artistic skills are among of those talents we either have or don't. I would like to encourage you to keep developing your skill and creating art.
You've probably seen the last of me, (at least for several years) but I look forward to seeing more of your work and hopefully speaking with you more soon.
