the devil's apathy by pieeen

<sub>This short poem has a subtle, delicate sort of rhyme
scheme that draws the reader in and keeps them hooked.
The message itself is less subtle, less gentle: The devil's
handiwork is everywhere. Is it boredom, or some stronger
design of fate, therefore, that often leads even the most
innocent souls astray these days? A lovely piece that will
leave the readers pondering, this is well-worth a read.

for onceCold
blackempty
like the cavern where crimson vellum once resided
Drenched in reticence,
your empty blue eyes do nothing
but freeze the blood in these veins
surrounded by phantoms,
i lie in the dark next to your fading silhouette
between sheets that hold so many memories,
they are empty,
like the chestnut eyes that bore into yours
And as the rain              falls harder
as it falls faster
washing down the streets
through deep alleys,
down endless roads,
for
once
just
once
i pray it takes me with
"for once" by jhock216

into a brief yet poignant moment.

DYLM"Do you love me?"
I would love to explore you.
There are many untold stars,
whole constellations awaiting discovery.
I would declare for you, dear,
but it would be no different
than declaring my love for the whole cosmos
when all I've charted is one dim island.
DYLM by ungraciouspastor

_{A beautiful and wise response to the most
egoic question that one should ever hear.}

Prose

_{Featured by xlntwtch}
to rescue a flower.Our tennis shoes are crushing dandelions.
I save one fortunate soul from the masses.  You are crying, but I'm making daisy chains and daisy crowns and daisy necklaces.  I am pretending that they are earrings and smiles.  
It's funny what a simple smile can do.  It's funnier what all the smiles in the world can't do.
I don't know what you're thinking.  I don't know why I am oblivious.  I don't know why I'm apologizing.  You are mumbling about parallel lines and the sun is drying your tears.  I can't stop looking at you.  We are standing here and it's getting chilly and I am still braiding dandelions.
I put a crown on your head to show you that you're my king.  That I wish I could run off to Italy with you and tie ribbons in my hair.  That when I see grass stains on little boys' jeans, I think of you running in the rain.  That your smile haunts me when I close my eyes,
to rescue a flower. by kirackerjack

<sub>Short and sweet, this loops through fine images
and ideas, rather like a young lover.
