To a Boy I Know ^^



Boy, light my fire

Drag my sweetness

Into the crevices of your lungs

Inhale my intoxicating scent

Blow out the dust from my heart

And only then could I wish

That I'd be like the nicotine

In that cigarette you're smoking

That sticks to your system

Corrupts you and gets you

Insatiably addicted to

~ by yours truly~

I Fear of Flight

in fear of flight, i close my eyes
in fear of flight, i dig at my pockets

in fear of flight, i clench my fists

in fear of flight, my heart flutters


in fear of flight, i deeply breathe
in fear of flight, i look up to the sky of blue and black, of stars and moon, of sun and clouds so cheerfully calling and patiently waiting for my kiss

in fear of flight, i look down with remorse, dig my heels to the ground and push at the stones


in fear of flight, i tremble

in fear of flight, i cry for times lost


in fear of flight, i stare blank at others soaring high, wishing instead i see my eyes in them
in fear of flight, i doze the fire in me that wants to conquer the skies

in fear of flight, i turn blue from the cold

in fear of flight, i might be left all alone


i fear of flying, soaring and yet i dream i am ruling this all

In this time, man is destined to fly, yet why am i so afraid of flight?

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

i love this poem, since i read it when i was in grade school...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
