InsanityThe sound of your voice
Haunts me in my restless sleep
Time leaves, why can't I?

HauntedA wandering mind
Visiting many places
Her presence constant.

DeterminationMadness in schedule
Still if it kills me, I will
Make it through this year

Society Told MeSociety told me

To look like the model they photo shopped
With a smile meant to be true
Like the cover of a magazine
But it should be you

Society told me

It doesn't like the way I dress
Because it's not as colorful as the world around
Well I don't choose to see in color
When perfection keeps me spellbound

Society told me

To learn to laugh
When everyone's laughing at me
And I'm not allowed to listen
To the wails of a banshee

Society told me

That talking makes me an attention whore
Even when the world revolves around it
It told me to be a dumb blonde
Whether or not I have the wit

Society told me

To stereotype others for a l

My Box                   When I  held a  box  with  keyless locks
                   In my arms, like a child holds  a  kitten

Tea Stain SunColourful and brightly painted
Watercolour, though slightly tainted.
Touched in life by real hands,
The tea stain sun freckles the land.

Dappled marble violet sky,
Where the gaze shall never lie.
In the backgrounds pale mystique,
The heavens must've surely leaked.

Thin waves blown by the breeze,
Meadow spotted with yellow leaves.
Kisses of white apple blossom rain,
Peppered beneath the great tea stain.

The figure crouched beside the tree
Hidden behind the springtime scene
Reading the works of Oscar Wilde
Between the petal blooms all the while.

The anvilIn a world of falling teardrops
Words echo hurt and pain
Every pen stroke spelling out
My lifetimes gilded frame

The canvass tells the story
But the frame it sets the bounds
The picture may be beautiful
But still the teardrops sound

In a world of falling teardrops
My words have learned to bleed
Beauty is born of sadness
It's expression poetic need

My broken heart the anvil
My tears the hammer blows
Every word loves labor
That my poetry may flow...

EternalHaunting theme that calls me
To ride the velvet blue
Kite of soul flying high
Time shall not pass through

Wheeling circles spiral
Waterfall of tears
Each drop a burning star
The banishment of fear

Rainbow of emotion
Colored rivers fly
Wheeling through the heavens
Making angels sigh

Blue and gold is heavens eye
Watching from above
The celestial explosion
That you and I call love...

Mirror MirrorMirror mirror on the wall
Show me what I've come here for.
I've placed you in a golden frame,
For another sexual gain.

Mirror mirror melts my mind
For all I see make me blind.
These eyes like concrete vanity,
Open your personality.

Eyes green and yellow shine,
Everyday I'll make them mine.
This is love and love of you,
This mirror is built for two.

Mirror mirror change your view,
I'm not just worried bout you,
I'm not taking care of myself,
As long as you're in good health.

I don't sleep, I only weep,
For you in my mirror, creep.
Kiss the glass and call my name,
I'll take it down just the same.

I've done what is done a

Breathe But My NameBreathe but my name in silent prayer,
and I will meet you there -
in an open field of golden grass,
beneath the windmill, I'll wait and rest,
while moments come and moments pass;
until your shimmering shadow appears,
moving like sunlight on stalks of wheat,
as wildflowers dance and tickle our feet,
our giggling smiles and eyes will greet.

Breathe but my name in silent prayer,
and I will meet you there -
in the rushing current as streams converge,
then flowing as one, like a new song
heard in a dream as we both emerge
from the end of the old, forgotten path,
amidst the magic of fairyland falls,
of misty air and moss-covered rocks,
drawn by th

SorrowRain falls down windows

Like tears falling down my cheek,

Our sorrow combined

This DiseaseFalling into the depths of this disease
I search for a way out
This darkened path I've been down before
Every step I take, beats with doubt
And as I fight back these darkened thoughts
They scream like death in my ear
As the shrieking darkness of this soul dies
Its beauty becomes so clear
So now I sit, and wait,
For the next time it comes near
And I know it will come back again
Because it knows that I am here

Dear HeartDear heart, I know it's been hard
The pain and losses we've shared
But I must ask you one last time
To begin to heal, start to repair

I've laid you down too easily
Handed you over without a fight
Now you're broken once again
As cold and empty as winter's night

I promise to shield you from harm
To keep you safely tucked away
I'll never give you up again
Mine alone, you will stay

LimboThe circle of limbo
where lost souls dwell

Wander they do
mourn they must
for they won't ever find heaven

Trapped in hell
for not believing

Unbaptized infants cry
they want salvation
just don't know how to get it

Forever restless souls
to live in uncertainty

Not committing any sins
saved them from torture
but lead them here...

Beyond The RainbowFar beyond the rainbow
Where time falls into space
Colors spin a melody
And all things find their place

Some hearts call it heaven
To others it's Avalon
For some it's just a dream
But there we all belong

Hurts shall be forgotten
And peace grace every heart
Beauty won't be hidden
And souls will fly with larks

Tears will mark the birth of joy
And death shall be no more
For in this land of wonder
Love like rain shall pour

For every broken heart
And every wounded soul
This the angels promise
"My lord will make you whole"

Never Turn Back ‘He can’t be serious! Shadow’s actually going to do it!’ Sonic thought as he shielded his eyes from the sudden flash of light that came from Shadow. As the light dimmed down he looked upon his new and improved opponent.

Shadow was still standing in the same spot, except he was now hovering about a foot off of the floor. His black fur had become an almost metallic silver, but his red had stayed the same, and he had a slight golden aura round him. “Super Shadow. Nice to meet you again.”

“Ahh, so my data of Shadow’s death was accurate. Therefore, you know what this form is capable of.” Super Shad

I Am... Sonic slammed into Metal Sonic’s mid-section. Metal had brought his hands up and caught hold of Sonic, lessening the force of the blow. He then grabbed on tighter to the spinning hedgehog and spun around, throwing him away. Sonic recovered in mid-air, and came down with a homing attack to Metal Sonic’s head. The robot was temporarily knocked off guard, and Sonic spun around in the air with a roundhouse kick, sending Metal Sonic skidding away. Sonic landed back on the ground stood there for a moment, catching his breath. But it didn’t last long, as Mecha Sonic came back, and whipped Sonic into the air with a spindash. Sonic bou

Almost Dead “Well, this seems interesting,” Shadow said as he observed the battles outside on a security monitor.

“Yes. It would appear Tails Doll may reveal his true identity,” Omega added.

“Yes,” Shadow leaned forward, folding his hands and holding them to his face. “that would be a sight to see. I found some documents regarding it, but the doctor didn’t leave much regarding it at the Angel Island base.”

“And unfortunately, my obtained records seem to present that the base where Robotnik developed Tails Doll and Metal Knuckles was destroyed.”

“Well then, we’ll just have to sit ba

The Chosen One “What?!” Sonic and Tails both yelled in unison.

“Shadow leading the robots? That doesn’t make any sense, Knuckles,” Tails said quickly.

“I mean, I know the guy has amnesia but it’s still not like him to lead anybody, he’s usually more about himself,” Sonic added.

“But still, I think he is. For one thing, turn around.” He stood up and grabbed Sonic and Tails, turning them around. They both gasped as they saw what Knuckles had seen before.

Clearly visible, even in the night sky, was the Black Comet floating by. Well, what was left of it at least. Small chunks were already streaking

All Hail Shadow “Hey, they stopped fighting.” Sonic said as him and Tails observed the battle from their platform.

“It looks like they’re talking, and Metal Knuckles doesn’t look too good.”

“Yeah, he seems pissed. Hey, they’re starting back up!”

* * * * *
“I’d like to see you try!” Metal Knuckles yelled as he flew towards Knuckles. He began to punch at him, but it was more like slashes, attempting to cut Knuckles with his spikes. Knuckles dodged the first few volleys, before he had to begin blocking the attacks. Soon, Metal had pushed him to the edge of the platform. There was hardly any rai

Beneath The Ashes “What? They actually made it in?” Metal Knuckles stabbed the screen he was watching, his knuckle spikes sparking from the electricity. “Very well then. Switching operation from defense to offense. They want a fight, they’ll get one!” Metal Knuckles turned and set off for the center of the base, issuing orders.

* * * * *
“So, this is the prototype model.” Shadow said, looking at the pair of new soldiers standing in front of him. “Well, they do certainly look impressive. Good find Metal Sonic. Position them around the island as you see fit.”

“Yes sir. Alright, you heard him, move out!”

Writing a Haiku by ~Ekajra pokes gentle fun at how, sometimes, we as artists get so lost trying to make a piece fit a specific form, that we are oblivious to everything else. ( Suggested by ~NeuzaKC and Featured by `nycterent )
