Beauty is priceless. Or so many may think… Others obsess closely Finding a weak link There is a tale told Of a witch in the woods She has dark magic, And many unique goods The clock strikes three As the witch stirs her pot She is centuries old And hasn't been caught Until a woman starts to wander, Searching for prey She is a hunter… The witch wants to play. She retreated back to her home, Creating a plan. She comes up with an idea… She will create a man! She will catch a beast One that has cold blood Savage as can be While running throu...
A letter is intimate And so is your voice This is fate It is not my choice I type freely, Because of you. Your my inspiration And my lover too I could write for days About your gorgeous smile Perhaps your funny charm Or your lack of style Like chocolate Your love could fade away. It seems so sweet… I hope you will stay Your tall and fun, Someone to enjoy I savor each moment Like a cat with her toy I love you. So much that I ache Without you it’s hard… I quiver and I shake I cry at the thoughts Where I lose your embrace Eventually going...
Top section: Woman's Point Of View Bottom Section: Gentlemen's Advice Women's Point Of View The lights are dim And the music is slow What happens next? Only time will know He walks up close Putting a hand on my face I am glad I chose to go Into his place His lips are soft… Tender and hot Leaving kisses down my neck Hitting the right spot His eyes go dark And pleasure shows It is night time… And the curtains are closed… His hands slow down Tracing my hip,to my thigh He applies just enough pressure Making me feel high I close my eyes An...
There is a legend many tell Of a beast in the snow However it is only seen As the snow starts to glow To glow Glimmering a bright silver white It is born from the ground However only at first light The sun will come up Shining brightly across the snow What the beast looks like, No one truly will know That is until the prophecy is fulfilled And the blood debt has been paid Only then will the beast take orders And truly obey In another hundred years The tale of the monster in the snow has spread wide Many begin to seek out it...
To be a killer in disguise Many may think of the sick thrill However there is more than one way Whether you think of crime or a pill There are many different killers And they are not all quick The addiction for love Can also run deep and thick An addiction to one feeling Whether it be adrenaline or crime Many give in to the temptation However after,they usually serve their time Unless you are obsessive, And think an escape route all the way through Why would one go so far, Knowing it is all so new? Another killer,known as depression Or t...
The machines were hot Almost humid,as I work my role However awhile back,a worker was caught And it scarred my soul One day that could be me… Screaming in agonizing pain I saw his head get crushed in And within seconds,death had came The work place was loud And smelled of raw metal We were not allowed to take breaks Or simply take a rest to settle Our wages were low And product demand was high The children and women could now work But was it worth the price to die? It was dark in coal mines Just mere miles away I felt bad f...
To describe such a sudden touch Is too much to ask I have more than words to express Over this spell he has cast It was our last day before Christmas break The two dreadfully long weeks to roam Why would I be happy to leave? With him,I feel at home No internet And no friends could come say hi However now that I know him With him,I feel high I come down the school steps Into the cafeteria as he continued to wait I wanted to try something new Before it was too late We talked about it On the bus ride across to school I was wil...
I wait outside of the auditorium Simply to see his face He wore a black hoodie,and had brown eyes He walked with grace Me and him then take our seats Waiting for the play to start When the lights went off It went completely dark It was not long Before his hand was over me Heat gathered quick And I could not see The tall boy in front blocked my view But I did not mind I nearly feel asleep after twenty minutes And I was almost blind The heat escalated Because so many sat so close We were seeing “Sleepy Hallow” As the actors ...
Me and mommy went to see a show They held it every year in town! And of course everyone would know They had a really funny big eyed clown! He would pull volunteers from the crowd So gladly they would take steps onto the floor He would made them disappear And reappear,making the crowd roar Mommy promised I could go see She promised that I would get a front row seat I laughed and leaped with glee Not missing a beat We reached the inside of the tent The heart of the circus In here my reality was bent And I refused to expect anyth...
Tis the season And bless it with a merry delight However many can commit treason Even on this very night On Christmas Eve,many get drunk And act foolish in town Many ships here have sunk And of course mysteriously go down… Deep below from the top To a dark,cold place No one knows why they sink Only that all are erased A man in the nearby bar He shouts about a beast every year I think his story is too far And that he had a lot of beer… He shouts of a beast hidden in the water That possessed giant colorful scales He claimed i...
There once was a little girl,who had brown hair And shining green eyes They called her “Lily Bear” However, anyone who talked to her met their demise… No one knew how,she was only five And barely talked,she simply wandered around With every step,she was ready to strive Even after hearing a nearby sound Lily Bear would stop,and look into the distant trees With nothing but a big smile She turned back around and laughed with glee While everyone silently thought she was vile Her parents say nothing as she comes in Even after the din...
Legend creates the scene of something great Or something bad. However you should not bait, You should always stay clear,and be glad It is rumored his teeth are rigid And his claws are sharp enough to tear. He only appears when times are frigid So enter if you dare… A boy lived close,close to his ground He wandered aimlessly and carefree. However he will eventually be found, By the creature many think may be. He emerges from the empty dark Covering each one of his tracks However his territory is marked By the surrounding trees,...
(This contains context about addiction,so please don't let any underage child read this,it is a VERY true story,it is my brother's story...) Here in Kentucky… We may breed horses and live out on the line, However, no one gets lucky Well, and at least ninety-nine percent of the time… I once had a brother, who I stood close by But now he is far away Probably getting over-the-top high, Because he went astray My family is big and my thoughts are bigger But one day, just the year before last An older man pulled the trigger, Leaving his wife du...
Special Shout to "Vicente Batista" and "Larissa Araujo"! Hours and hours of sleepless night leave you sleepy and tired as you peek just beyond the door Still snuggled up in your bed hoping there was….more More excitement,more joy,more to do as you stare into space But just behind the door you spot a pink little bow of lace She exits from behind the enclosed area,so little and delicate in her silky dress But across her face was dried blood drops making a mess Her skin porcelain and shiny,as her eyes gleamed with light Then her eyes locked...
(The end of this is not for children that are twelve or under! If requested I will rewrite the end! I hope everyone enjoys! I walk,walk,and walk some more Then I start to explore… I skip with all my soul, then I suddenly fall down a hole! Spirals of red and even black My,is that a sac…? Dots scattered,and speckled white, This is such tremendous sight! I spin,spin,and spin some more Whatever is this for? This is a dream…yes it must be! I see stripes as far as I can see Tables,Flowers,and even one rake And I believe I see a milkshake! I ga...
