It's not selfish when you can't control it. Just rememeber that you DO have ppl that love you, and need you. You can't leave them.
Beautiful poem, tho, i think i like the middle stanza the best, but they're all amazing!
So was this one that was written before, or did you actually write this while you are... uh, feeling happier? lol
Can't wait for more of your beautiful poems!

Bleak and sort of wild, Kaylan. So powerful, as your poems always are. Stay strong. Feel better.
[act]hugs[/act] Beautiful, but it's not convincing me that you're feeling better...
I wrote the last one when I was happier. I don't know why the thought popped into my head. It's kind of like a story about a man, not me, and his suicide. For some reason I don't feel emotionally attached to it. I just wrote it.
I want
I want to dance away the rain
And roll around in the mud
Afterwards when everyone has left.
I want to close my eyes for a second
And inhale the scent of happiness
Afterwards when everyone has gone.
I want to hold onto your hand
Then let it go and watch it fall
I want to watch the tears run down your face.
I want to make you laugh and smile
And lay beside you for a while
And later on write about it all.
I want to be alone for a while
But not alone in the end
I want to feel like my time here has a meaning.
I want to celebrate my life
While basking in my woe
I want to know true love without feeling.
And I want to tell my story
When I've finally found and ending
I want to write the chapters of my life.
I want to do it all with you
And want you to want me, too
I want to stay with you forever.
This poem is beautiful Kaylan :)
Wow, Kaylan :). Your sadder poems have been powerful but it's nice to see some of these beautiful, happier poems, too.
'I want to make you laugh and smile
And lay beside you for a while
And later on write about it all.'
This stanza is my favourite, I think. I just love the rhythm. And it just seems like what you do with your life - experience happiness and love (and sometimes sadness) and then record it for us all to live with you!

Within this chaos is a flower that blooms just like a bird
Flutters its wings, and it flies across the sky around the world
Spinning around, and the seasons are all flowing into one
Beautiful masterpiece if life, of love.
Within this body is a heart that beats just like a drum
Banging around my head, and the hi hats are as loud as my voice
Sings like the rainfall, as though god is crying
About the misery that he can see beneath him.
Carry my thoughts across the sky
Carry my woe upon the wind.
My soul is so heavy it could fall out of my body
But I will take just one more step. I won't let you down.

Nice Kaylan, though I think that 'their' in the second line would be better as 'its'.
Beautiful, particularly 'beautiful masterpiece of life, of love'. That line just sings to me!
Thanks =D I'm finally publishing an anthology!! I'm compiling poems at the moment =D
Remember
I still remember the taste of your lips
Before they turned cold
And I hid them away
From the shadows of the sun.
I still remember the warmth of your breath
Before I silenced you forever
And closed the final doors
Of your life.
Your hair smelt to sweat
And your cheeks looked so rosy
Like a young child
Skipping down the street.
Your skin was so supple
And your eyes were so bright
Like a newborn
Inspecting the world.
I still remember the tears of your mother
When she reached for your hand
And faltered as her heart stopped
When she realised you were not sleeping.
I still remember the hopes of your father
And how I crushed them
Like broken glass embedded in skin
Bleeding for all eternity.
When you said you loved me, you loved me
And I knew it the second I tasted your heart
The sweet sticky blood running down my fingers
As I licked my tongue.
When I said I loved you, I loved you
So much that I had to have you for myself
Inside my soul forever
Devoured by my love.
Wow. That's dark and sweet all at once.
Killing as the ultimate act of posession? Or have i been reading too many criminology/psychology texts?
Can't wait to see how your anthology goes!
Thanks =D I've finished composing the poems. Now I've just got to design the cover. I think I'll use the same artist as I did with my novel.
Amazing! It's so dark, and scary, and yet... it almost feels innocent, in a really creepy way, lol. I absolutely love this poem!
Wow... that is all I can say. It's beautiful, Kaylan
Thanks guys! I've just bought the cover for my anthology, so I'll have a poetry ebook soon =D
Ohhh, congratulations! I just bought it (and your book, too, which I just realised I'd not yet bought - I'd been meaning to since it came out :))
Congratulations :) :) :).
Congrats on another one...
Have another one to check out ;)

Congratulations Kaylan. I love the look of the artwork you've used for both your covers.
