  Curtain Call

  

  By BeautifulCacophony, Lake in the Hills, IL

  Performance day, Driving straight into the storm, Of intense, blinding yellow excitement, Steady stream of mixed emotion, Green: that's what it was, Sparkling jade with nerves, Bubbling pink anticipation, Brilliant, flittering thrill. Faces of the cast, Meet me as I hustle about, Fl...

  I Hate It

  

  By BeautifulCacophony, Lake in the Hills, IL

  I hate it, When I have to lie. Give a fake smile, Pretend not to care. I hate it, Thinking about the future, Not knowing what's to come, But only knowing, You might be alone. I hate it, The truth; It seems so much sharper, Cuts so much deeper, Than the lies we wrap ourselves in...

  Crystal Clear

  

  By BeautifulCacophony, Lake in the Hills, IL

  The man approached the crystal, the light of the treasure glimmering sapphire against his wine-colored irises. Magnificent power radiated from the treasure, forming a warm breeze around it, a cocoon of pleasant air. His sleek, ashen hair fluttered back, away from his angular, sickly face. The collar...

  Just A Few Questions

  

  By BeautifulCacophony, Lake in the Hills, IL

  Can I ask you a question? Do you miss me? That first time you kissed me? We were hand in hand, With the warm, soft sand, Squishing underneath our bare feet? Do you remember that first time, We danced in the moonlight, The navy twilight, Sweet underneath the summer stars’ glow? Do you...
