the science of silence.your arms form a barrier, blocking out all sound,
all thoughts,

there is nothing but you.

you.

you are the only thing that
can make a buzzing fan
sound like a butterfly;
a creaking house
like a lullaby.

moaning wind and soft footsteps,
    tickings of clocks, downstairs.

but you made it feel like a soft cocoon;
a weightless wall of something golden:

                                            &

above bent heads.

My WinterCardinals will
                drip
from the branches like
berries
and the sky will turn to smoke.
The ground crunches under your feet and it’s
Almost as if you could
         sail away
across the ice.
Brandished behind screens of glass
are fists of ivory
They are covered in scratches and
         bloom
from the dark like magnolia blossoms.
napoleon at sevenan old guitarist sitting
on a watercolor hill,

plucking on six strings absent.
two halves of breasts running near

under van gogh's starry night,
under black-white guernica.

everything in all jigsaws,
everything in trepid cubes.

a girl before a mirror
with violin and guitar,

sitting with three musicians
and a woman with her book,

stippling all realities
of intangible maternity.

hours yielding from dalí's clock,
minutes sub-the alchemist

like rain, like raining, like rained—
portraits wilt with abstract smiles.

clear sfumato, oh still life,
napoleon at seven.

your elbows were anchors
in a softly-lit parking lot,
where you sang to glass and paper:

and your visions are quiet hills
your visions are shy sounds
your visions are sheep covered in frost.

speaking
loose tongued,
like an old shoe-

that dry rasp
that leaves me covered in skin flakes,
leaves me
brushed onto the wall .

I am the raised bumps in spackle-
ripped off with the sound of a poor phonograph:

in my chain link home,
a residual ghost.

                         ________________________________________

As I fall on the withered ground,
I stare up at the darkening sky,
Tears pouring from my pleading eyes.
I want to be free from this hell…

Light footsteps sound, stepping toward me.
I turn my head, slowly, the fear sending chills down my spine…
Making my heart cold.

He walks towards me, his graceful legs carrying him closer.
His long black hair whips against his pale face
As a sudden wind makes contact with his slender body

As he reaches me, he kneels down in front of my crumbled body.

her face held no expression, and she didn't reply

underneath,

brushing the willow
underneath

Silence,

Scratch the bark,

silence.

satan threw me a slumber partyi’m tired
of you, and
i’m tired of
Miss Irony;

i’m tired of OCD,
i’m tired of poetry,
i’m tired of counting
and miscounting sheep,

i’m tired of losing my mind
to cosmetic con artists who make
more money than banks,
who make more sense
than a vending machine;
who make their mind up,
down,
not minding their dirty,
shady business.

oh, how i envy those poisoned Disney Princesses

i’m tired of blitzkrieg alarm clocks that snooze louder than me,
and
i’m tired of vinyl pinups (un)dressing up my hypnophobic lids
and
i’m tired of the poltergeist who keeps fucking up cushion clouds

My warm breath carresses his neck as he leans back.
I hold my body close to his, pressing our warmth together.
Is this love?

I pull him towards me, and open my mouth wider.
His eyes flash towards me, shock showing in them.
I move closer to the warm flesh on his neck, my mouth aching to taste the blood running in the veins underneath...
Is this lust?

My teeth sink into the skin on his neck.
I hear him groan in pain, watch his eyes roll back.
His blood trickles down my chin, and it flows downmy throat.
This is bloodlust.

Yesterday,
I invented English;
I discovered Spain
in a hot air balloon
and drove to clinics
to patent electricity.

Yesterday,
I channel surfed the English channel
and developed an allergy to royalty.
And even though I had everything,
I still went bankrupt over medicine
you told my pharmacist I deserved.

Today,
I am the King of Clovers
and the Emperor of China.
I am the laziest kind of poet
and the worst liar since Socrates.

Degrees Warped By FragmentsDegrees Do Worse Warped By Fragments

I.
I sit among a contingent of fresh-faced athletes doing mostly
Nothing,

Reading a book on the crosses of cosmogony when I feel a hand
Tapping

On my shoulder. I turn around like a toddler's wind-up toy and
Find

No face to match the arm suspended in space by something unseen

II.
Faces of clocks abound on every wall I sit across from, next to or
Near;

It makes no sense to me. Half an hour will pass before I have slept
Enough

Hours, and yet exhaustion always accompanies me, even during the
Brief

Rush of excitement I feel when the clocks cease ticking.

III.
Library books are beginning to pil
busdust animals
loll and swirl against
fake forest leather

peering
(around sable beaststrands,
sun-sullied to pyrite)
at a garbled missive

scratched and misconstrued,
its stories unvoiced-

"warm is uncomfortable;
cold is far worse."

Light + Dark Hyperfiction PoemThe sky lights up as the stars come out,
She wonders what this is all about.
If only she, like the stars, could find her light,
Then maybe her future could lie in sight.

Another girl struggling to cope,
All she needs is a little hope.
Covers her feelings up with endless lies,
Popular and pretty, but so is her demise.

A girl named Dark, and a girl named Light,
Met one day on a September night.
They discussed their fears, and discussed their hate,
Hate of the world, and what it was to create.

Although one was Light and one was Dark,
They never ever were apart.
The best of friends, but no one could see,
What was to become of them
Doors~Doors~          by: Sarah Walker 11i. date: 18/06/2008

Stormy clouds and sunlit skies,
Watching as the clouds go by,
Dreaming of another day,
When thoughts of him would go away.

But you realise all is right,
For your future lies in sight,
Never give up and never give in,
You'll make people listen, and you'll surely win.

Misery and hate are just part of life,
Love, hate, death and strife,
Every hidden door holds a key,
To your existance and what you'll be.

Take care now as you pick your door,
For you may be left wanting more,
Caution yourself, don't choose with your heart,
For life may start falling apart. (c)

"Scream" - January 14 2009.

:iconstateofemergency2006:

I scream, you can't hear me,
I yell, you can't find me,
I cry, you can't kill me,
I die, you can't follow me.

I pray, you can't heal me,
I run, you can't stop me,
I fall, you can't catch me,
I die, you can't save me.

I need, you can't give me,
I bleed, you can't hate me,
I stop, you can't make me,
I'm dead, never can you free me.

(Inspired by the song "Frailty Of Life" by the band Beneath Bleeding Skies)
