My Wonderland.Daily trials, a slip, a smile.
Come and walk my path a while.
Don't be shy, I'll pull you close,
I'll show you what I fear the most.

Here's the key, the choice is yours.
Do you dare pass through the door,
To leave the normal world behind,
And catch a glimpse of what's inside?

Be careful as you reach across,
Into this world that never was.
It might sink deep into your bones
And start to feel a lot like home.

Step into a world of dreams,
Held in place by breaking seams,
Feel the ghosts of doubt begin
To settle deep beneath your skin.

Don't be scared, here take my hand,
I'll show you through my wonderland.
Come and taste a brok

The Funny Side Of Bitter.The wind runs fingers through my hair,
My legs burn as I run.
A whispered dream of innocence,
Fading with the sun.

The ugly side of beautiful,
The pretty side of fear.
I wonder why through all of this,
My twisted grin's still here.

Lips drawn over quiet fears,
Clenched teeth flashing white,
As the stars push back the dark,
And tremble in the night.

Arms stretched wide, I breathe in deep,
And stare into the sky
The taste of freedom on my lips,
As seconds trickle by.

For past the edge of broken dreams
The wings of hope remain,
And though my world was torn apart,
My fire will not be tamed.

The lessons of naivety

Simple HappinessHey, maybe you haven't heard
That my life's looking up.
I've washed away my yesteryears
And come across some luck.
It makes a change, I'll tell you now
To see the clear blue sky,
And cuddle up all warm inside
When I'm with you at night.

My Closet.My closet is full of porn.
Fluffy handcuffs and lingerie.
And the sex draw lies at the back.

My closet holds all the passwords.
To laptops full of yaoi fanfics.
And bad poetry.

My closet is brimming with secrets.
Bones that trap me in shame.
Time to set them free, and air out the place.

Fantasies of Titanic relationships.
A crushed wish to whisper "I love you."
So far from my Ice Queen persona.

My closet keeps all my fears.
Tucked away and buried.
My social anxieties and issues.

My family ties, all but cut
Through pain and hate.
Failed attempts to fix the unfixable.

My closet is big, but it's getting full.
Of paranoia a

Broken.Ah, mum. You do choose the most lovely moments to drop whatthefuckery bombshells. Huddled in a seat at London Euston, scoffing Motilium, and feeling like death, I hear her state simply:

"I don't think I love him any more."

Sure. I knew that. Didn't I? I knew. I know a lot of things about them. Sometimes I think I must see them more clearly than either of them see each other. But saying it out loud feels wrong. To make it more than a fleeting thought dismissed in passing... it's like dropping a heavy stone into a still lake and watching all the gunk and dirt rise to the rippling surface.

There's always been an unspoken belief for me. That e

Just a little painting to try and remember what I've learned in practising backgrounds recently. A few mistakes, and I nearly completely forgot the moon... but hey, whatever... it's been fun experimenting.

And a little ship with a lantern just... because.

Delicious Sky,

did you "see" this or something?..

~Dreams-Of-Lightning Jun 13, 2012

Thanks, I'm glad you like the sky.

See? No I just decided to practice, and wanted a strange looking boat in the picture. Hope it doesn't look too out of place.
