"Let them hate, so long as they fear me" ~Colligula


What has happened? What secret world have I entered,
Past soft flesh, her virgin lips I’ve ventured
What was I feeling, that fleeting feeling
Pealing my heart with each beating, stealing
Each breath from my chest, less I confess
My eyes are hazed and it is all gone, but the taste
The taste of her first, in her memory and heart, never erased
I’m faced with a world not before seen, I’m a fiend
In this wonderland, this dream, and it seems
That my eyes meet hers in a moment locked away
Played over and over in my mind as I lay
And yet a guilt which taints this sweet moment in time
Is treading on untouched snow a crime?
Still my mind stills, unmoved from the moment
Why do I not feel the need to lament,
The loss of another pure white sheep in a herd
Overrated, not her, cured and freed like a bird
Oh my words, they fail time again, oh why
Absurd that I flail my thoughts, and yet not lie
To myself or to her, the moment lost was not lost
It was the cost of a kiss, carried, not tossed
So light on my feet, feeling not aching nor sore
And so I must wonder if this is what I'm for,
Am I to entertain her, fill her with love and joy
She does not toy with my heart, she be not coy
May I listen to her shy words as they pour into my ear
A new future with new things to fear, cheers
To another world I've stepped to, walked away
From one hill, so this one must do, I'll stand, I'll stay
I'll watch the sun rise, I've survived
Light shines on my face and lights up my life.

I know, I misspoke. I should have said "branch out from." If I genuinely thought you were leaving poetry, I'd already be in Raleigh raising hell in protest. ;) So what do you think?

I'll give them a looksie, but I'm not leaving poetry, like I said; in ADDITION to my poetry, I'll be posting a few short stories.

Before you leave poetry, though, I have a few poems on Teen Ink I want you to read. The first is one I found during your long absence and emailed to myself with the intent to recommend to you whenever you reappeared. I think you'll appreciate this one: TeenInk.com/poetry/free_verse/article/795033/If-the-Moon-Bleeds. The next two are pieces I found yesterday when it turned out a guy who went to school with me years ago actually wrote poems back in the day. I'm just curious what your opinion of these next two will be: TeenInk.com/poetry/song_lyrics/article/550146/Revelation/ and TeenInk.com/poetry/all/article/550145/Under-Dust/. For the record, I showed him your work yesterday, and he said (after the second poem I sent), "Again that was a truly powerful poem. He is leagues ahead of and above me." But for what it's worth, I want your opinion. :)

Well, in addition to the continuos poems, I'll also be submitting a few short stories, they are dreams I've been recording for the last couple of years, so that will be interesting to say the least.

Can I just say that you made me cry? Happy tears, for once. That author's note.... Just so, so, so happy for you. I've waited for this one for so long. No, it's not a crime to be happy, kid. Not when she's inspiring this kind of beautiful art through words. The poem is so beautiful, too, how you pull on the ideas from previous poems to continue the story. The hills, and wow, the light. "Rainbows and Light," I'd like you to meet "Another Kiss." Yes, be amazed. All things are possible. From "secret world" you create this tone where I feel like you're writing in a whisper and I can't help but gleefully giggle in the background. It's like you've found the Secret Garden after all these months searching. You deserve this. :)Quick editing note: "*lest I confess"? Between the photo and the "wonderland," you make me think of Winter Wonderland. Love that reference. And wow, when you call it back to the first time you wrote about her as snow, that line is just so, so powerful. I think this line (A new future with new things to fear, cheers) is where I started crying, and this (Light shines on my face and lights up my life.) is where I lost it. The journey recorded in your work is just so beautiful and spectacular to watch. I honestly cannot wait for the next update. :)
