Disappearing Shadows
Engulfed in the comfort of his desire
Malignancy is his growth of love spreading
In the shadows of my step
For he is behind me totally engaged
I am the flesh of his flesh
The bone of his make
The marker of his 1st chapter
Bookless... but steadily read
I am his page, never turned
Read in braile 10,000 times before
For the touch of me... he breathes
Erratic pulsations... aproaching am I
His destination
but .... Please tell me why?
His shadow is no longer mine...:

MaryJaneBurn's Scribe of the Month:
the abyss
[/font][/center][/u]the abyss
Scribed by: BabyGirl
two years later
a putrid scent
drifting from the corpse of
our pseudo relationship
is all that remains
its been lying
at my doorstep
inviting neighbors
and friends
to whisper about
my downfall
i've retreated inside
sitting shrouded in misery
with an emptiness
as dark as a bottomless pit
tears streaming down
my forlorn face
for every intimate moment
we'll no longer share
the man whose shoulder
i pinned my hopes upon
left me without
a second thought
or glance
left me mourning
loss of delicate strings
once holding my heart
forever dilapidated
struggling to maintain
some semblance
of normalcy

The
fairytale
facade
is
always
inviting
enticing
the mind
to feats of
enchantment
that forget even
the most well
built dream
can erode right
in front
of
your
eyes.
