A Neverending Dream By InJeel Omens El-Ji
Injeel Omens

From a night's dream

To a day dream

Nothing compares to

A neverending dream.

 

The dream of my desires

The thought's dream of miracles

The way I want to help others

The way I want to speak to all

And having friends for life

Along with graduating from so many levels

I want to travel the distance

Express my existence

Have the world at my hands

To show I can do anything

 

For my small desires

Even the thought's dream of miracles

I wish to have a life

Help my family in need for time

Keep friends to check on me

Aura to show I'm free

Music to calm my mind

My pencil and book

To calm my soul

But mostly of all

A love to call thy own

A neverending dream

                                               

Soft Lies By Becca Zuckerman

Out of sight out of mind,
Oh soft lies soft lies, '
We say to keep our eyes dry,
Watch the white lines.
Wave goodbye,
I left you with some soft lies.

And we traded hats and poetry,
Talked til the  line died,
And we hated signs and irony,
The raindrops in the sky.

You saw a shooting star you said,
I saw a source of pride,
Your message said "all things are good."
The softest of your lies.

A faded shape: heart on hand,
My straight your slanted lines,
I have a weight about me now,
For all my petty crimes.

Out of sight  out of mind:
Oh wouldn't that be fine?
But I know you'll be here floating soft,
Unmoved by change or time.

Natural Woman By Brittany Suit

To you, I must seem a natural woman.Brittany Suit

To you, I am eyes and a face.

I am a pair of legs,

A pair of lips.

I am your first view

Of a woman's birthing hips.

I am the mirth-filled lines

Forming around your eyes,

I am those extra pounds

That take you by surprise,

By storm, by force even!

And even though I really do

Seem to fulfill all these roles you

Place me in,

You ignore my heart. You ignore my face.

I confess, I am all these things.

But I am oh so much more.

I am Sagittarius' bow

Curved back, turned loose,

And sailing way over your head.

I am Chesire Cat's smile,

Sending chills down your spine

With all that jazz.

I am a meat sandwich,

Made good at your place and

Stuffing your face with calories and kisses.

I am your vindictive missus,

Both a bitch and a bribe

And your eternal war bride.

It's the lost knowledge, to be recognized

As insanity realized,

Eternalized within my crazy-eyed soul,

Those bared manicured nails

threatening to swallow you whole!

There comes a moment where

We have to pull ourselves up

And gasp for air,

Feel alive by yanking out our hair,

All for the sake of feeling young.

For seeming real.

I confess, as much as it derails your train of thought.

I am oh so much more than a woman.

I am me.

And me is, you see, a fantastic concept.

I am emotionally androgynous.

I am everything.

I am nothing.

I have identity issues.

I need a box of tissues.

I need a pair of gym socks

To fill your too-big shoes.

I'm too small to lose you.

I'm too big to fall.

I'm all natural. All woman. And all here.
