( Bit emotive if you're sensitive, probably not for the faint hearted... ) You've got your beer by the bedside, And the blood's all up the walls. Sound-proofed every single surface So no one can hear their calls. You've sharpened every ki…
It's happened once, it's happened twice, But really... Can't we just play nice? So much mean And accusations, Privacy has its Violations. Nasty words Thrown around, Curses, mean things Always found. I came here And here I write, But her…
Creeping silently under the veil of night, I try my hardest to avoid the light. The sun is a plague upon my skin, The clothes I wear are always too thin. The breeze on my flesh brings me little relief, The shadows hail a smile, though bri…
I wear a mask, Go out at dark, Save the city, Leave my mark. When sun comes up, It's all the same, No one knows me, Knows my game. Every night, I hunt the bad, Bless the good, And tease the mad. Solve the problems, Right the wrongs, S…
Two halves are torn Then separated Locked apart Later berated. Two halves are torn Then pieced together Worn and dirtied From the weather. Two halves are torn Then ripped some more Once was two And now there's four. Two halves are foun…
Withered leaves and crooked branches, Snow falls in mini avalanches. Undergrowth with paw prints scattered, Mud and rain on tree trunks splattered. Ravens circle round a cloud, Mist and fog create a shroud. Shapes along the foggy banks, …
Laying on the bed sheets, Remember why I'm here? Nothing I remember- Gives me smiles, instead a tear. The sheets have turned so cold now, My skin was flush, now dead, Remember when you made me blush? You said you loved the red... But then…
Blowjob and steak day? What would your mum say? Not only 'tradition' GREW, Imagine if she knew...
I'm imagining worlds out there, Things we've never truly seen, Stuck on this here planet, Is all we've ever been. Just viewing the one world, Just one smatter of stars, Sitting in our gardens, And watching from our cars. Imagine moving o…
Always feeling fat, But always looking thin, Just glancing at that cookie, Could be regarded as a sin. Going up one dress size, And suddenly; a fight, Even one inch bigger, And it's a grotesque sight. Legs the size of whales, When really…
Cue the drum beats Call my name Turn the spotlight On my game Watch me dancing Hold your breath Horses singing Sudden death Ribboned fingers Palest skin Hair up too tight Heartbeat: thin Cue the next act But not quite yet I have not finishe…
There are plenty more hours, Plenty more days, Plenty more leaving, And too many stays. There's a lifetime of ticking, A century of clocks, Minutes of waiting, Years on the rocks. Drowning it out With vodka and lime And wondering why An…
A boulevard of memories, And every house: a hope, Walking down and wishing true, I wonder how I cope. A sidewalk filled with wants and needs, Every step has weight, Forks in roads and yet more street, Do you believe in fate? A pavement f…

Something old. Something new. Apparently my blood counted as both.
Twigs and stones And sticks And bones And everything can hurt me. Hard and harsh And sweet And scarce But everything still hurts me. Cold and hot And scorching Not But something always hurts me.
You tell me they're all in your hand, It's all going as you planned, But I'm not there - I don't fit in, You've made a plan, but it's so thin. Forgotten me, I'm just not there, You've stripped me empty: now I'm bare, It's easier with one …

We fight, we hate, we snap, you're late, We scream, we yell, we burst, we swell. We spit, we huff, we hurt, we bluff, But the anger we have is never enough. No matter the hurt and no matter the pain, And no matter the fact that we'll do …

One day they won't be swear words, They'll just be jokes and naught, Used so lightly, nothing bad, Another sort of sport. One day they'll just be gestures, Incriminating? No. Vocabulary won't extend And fingers more won't grow. One day…

Nothing left I've nothing left Left sitting here My heart's bereft. So much lost I've lost so much I long for one: Your needed touch. Something more Need something more Don't leave me please Don't slam that door. Don't cut the…
I remember it at nighttime, The never ending blows, The yelling and the blasting, And the far-off, distant glows. I remember it at sun-up, The red across the sky, Mirroring the blood 'twas shed, And the gunfire passing by. I remember it a…
My hair is changed, Once again, Keeping one colour's Such a pain... It's still blonde, But stripes along The bottom and They're nice and long. Purple stripes, Inside the blonde, I know my hair is Feeling wronged... But the simple fact I…
Shivering in the darkness, Alone and cannot see, Scientists around me, 'Whatever could she be?' Fangs aloft my gums; out, Hands shake, need for blood, Forcing fists and curling in, My eyelids make a hood. My skin paler than usual, My bre…

Thought that I'd done badly, Been bricking it all day, Shaky and my nerves on fire... Guess what? I GOT AN 'A'.
You build me up, To knock me down, Tell me to smile, But make me frown. Tell me to laugh, But cut inside, Start with one tear, Then cause a tide. One moment, nice, The next, I'm scared, I try to hide, But I am bared. You're lovely the…
'Just one more kiss' He said to me, But a kiss from him- was never free. He'd use me, drop me, Toy and play, Withdraw his 'love' I'd fade away- And on the brink he'd say again 'Just one more kiss' To take the pain. A brutal game, But I'…
I'm trying. I'm dying. I'm crying. You're keeping. I'm weeping. Hearts leaping. We're in sync. We can't blink. We can't think. We're caught here. Just you, Dear. The pain, sheer. Our lips touch, Our weak crutch, It's too much. I'm done…

It's amazing when you think it, I've been months writing on here, Not sure when I started but, I know not yet a year. In this time I've learnt a lot, And Opuss has learned me, And now I'm on my thousandth post, I'm as giddy as can be! A …
I was right in there. And I won. Yay, me. Right. No shouting out. 'And I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding/ Right before the lord...'

Her lips aren't red as roses, Her skin has marks and scars, And when I gaze into her eyes, It's not like I see stars. Her breath is not the sweetest, Her touch not soft and sweet, She hasn't dainty little hands, Nor legs long, or small fee…

I'm finding each day harder, Each morning is a chore, And I have no reminder, What exactly I'm up for. Every day's monotonous, Repetitive; the same, And I'm a pawn on a chess board, And life's a wicked game. Swamped with work and jobs to…
Imagine life's a painting, And you the artist; try, Imagine earth as lumps of clay, In your fingers it does lie. Incredible, to shape the world, Your paintbrush makes the land, All it take's, to switch a scene, Is a short twist of your han…
I'd like to say I love you, But it would be a lie, I'd like to say I'm happy, Instead inside I cry. I'd like to say life's perfect, But every day's a trial, Every second is an hour, And every step's a mile. I'd like to say it's better, …

No one understands the stress, No one gets the trouble, Often I wish I was them, Outside my little bubble. Many thoughts and expectations, And it's down to me, Everything has the largest price, Nothing's ever free. Tears fall but no on…
Next Thursday I will get a shock, Counting down; that ticking clock, Results for me, one re-sit please, Let it worth my time and fees. With sweaty palms and clammy skin, And jumpers thick but feel so thin, Shivering with anxious tears, Ho…
A tantalising kiss, And it promises much more, You draw away, I'm breathless, And I ask: 'What was that for?' You reply with short breath as well, 'I kiss because I can', I look at you and can't help smile, No more beauty in a man. 'Try …

It still leaves me smiling long, When Opuss sings its little song, That quaint 'meow' is like a bell, I know my app has news to tell, It is a gift I share with all, I love when Opuss comes to call, I love its ins, I love its outs, It's t…
Expectations make me, To them I am a mould, A piece of dough to take and shape, To have and then to hold. Expectations crush me, I'm what they make of me, I'm caged into their rash ideals, With not-so-far to see Expectations use me, I'm …
A kiss can mean a thousand things, A hug can save a life, Just take a gentle step away, And teeter off the knife. A song can say a thousand things, A word can mean a world, A piece if parchment more than that, It's beige corners unfurled.
I sit by the river, The wind runs through my hair, Cross my legs and sigh again, I really have no care. I watch the water ripple, Smooth lines of blue and grey, There's nothing here I have to do, Nothing I have to say. A calm, a tranquil…
Trying to target the worst, Whilst praying I can quench this thirst. Trying not to be that bad, Whilst quelling rage, so brutish, mad. Trying not to pine for more, Whilst feeling numb at my stomach's core. Watching red reminds me so, Wi…
Like a needle to the vein, I will never be the same, One injection and I'm done, Is it worth it - the long run? One more pill and I'm so high, Kissing gravity goodbye, Smiling, crying, all at one, Blink again, the good time's gone. Wish f…
A paperless place, Just wires and lines, And online transactions, And alerts, symbols, signs. A place without pencils, Just pixels and grit, As many computers, That can possibly fit. A place without novels, In book-form, that sound, Of ru…
We howl upwards, To the sky. Waxing, waning, Sing goodbye. We sing our song, Our mournful howl, It ends with snarls, A rippling growl. A pack, we're one, We stand; a group, We run our grounds, And endless loop. Tails and paws, And mov…
Time again for party heels, No soft drinks and no third wheels, Music pumping round a room, Hearing chords which creak and boom. Shortest dresses with no tights, Fluctuating, blinking lights, So much flesh yet more to spare, We buy our own…
My head's on fire Build my funeral pyre I might expire I feel so dire Last night's a blur Just him and her My brain won't whir I don't concur I might just die Bid life goodbye Why. Why. Why? On bed, I'll lie Oh wait, tonight I'm out agai…

I'm dancing in the flames, I'm falling off the edge, I'm wronging all my rights, Going hard against my pledge. Rebelling in the best way, Shooting down the good, Stealing all the limelight, Not doing what I should. Yelling out my curses…

I'm classy now I'm eighteen, Drinking twists at five o clock, Hitting all those booze-ups, Cause that's just how I rock. Parties every night and day, Cause the time don't matter here, Drinking all my worries down, So I don't have a fear. …

A crystal sky, With azure tones, The softest winds, With creaks and groans. The wheeling birds, The buzzing flies, An empty playground, Far-off cries. A quiet day, Not much is here, And yet with sun, There's always cheer.
All I want is to be heard, Just once, and be heard well. Instead I have to scream and shout, Instead of talk, I yell. I have to screech to speak above, The clamour haunts my head, No one listens, I sink back, And all I see is red. What'…
The longest hair in all the land, And all I want's a chop. Finely spun like purest gold, A woven, braided mop. The biggest eyes in all the land, And yet I love my specs, Baby-blue and wide as wide, With sapphire-hazel flecks. Such flawles…
I'll close my eyes and hold my breath, Imagine some place new, Imagine sitting on the sand, And right beside me's you. We're sitting on a quiet beach, The water's at our feet, Amid the breeze is boiling sun, And we soak up the heat. The…

Bit of a rant. Okay, I get the picture, You're small but you want big, You want a crown all of your own, But can't be arsed to dig. You'd rather have them do it, Why get yourself a mess? Cause that is all that friends are for, Why give …

When it's good, it's great, And things could not be better. But when it's bad, it's awful, And my cheeks could not get wetter. When it's good, it's brilliant, Like a high that won't come down. But when it's bad, it's terrible, So many lows…

This morning I've a message, From someone I don't know, A 'Secret Admirer', With a thought that made me glow. Full of words and kindness, With a message, oh-so-sweet, Yeah, maybe there is hope for me, Just sweep me off my feet! A 'Secret…
I haven't met your eyes yet, Suppose you could not see, I haven't seen your 'perfect' lips, How 'perfect' could they be? I don't know what your hair's like, Red, or black, or brown, Or is it styled with sweeping bangs, To hide a cl…
My love has not the reddest lips, And there's a wideness to her hips. Her skin is ruddy, no pale hue, And she has not that shiny 'new'. My love has crooked, unkempt teeth, And O, her hair's a wiry wreath. Her legs have marks and knees d…
She sits alongside him on sand, They sit together, hand in hand. The ocean sings to them: a song, It feels like nothing could go wrong. The sun is shining on their heads, They lie on blankets, worn-down threads. Their cheeks are red and e…
Walking through the crowded streets, Benches taken, no free seats. Sun beats down on all our heads, Rising from our unmade beds. Cramped yet dainty, life here seems, Architecture rises from my dreams. Spirals reach to blue, blue skies…

Crushing all your aspirations, Choking all your inhalations, Clutching all your exhalations, Dismissing any celebrations. Opening old wounds with salt, Drawing 'happy' to a halt, Blaming, taunting, all your fault, Hitting like a crossbow's…
Cut out her heart, And feed me it, Then watch me: On my throne I'll sit. My hair is fine, As fine as her's, I'm wrapped in cloths, Expensive furs. My lips are red, As red as she, I have the beauty, Not her... Just me. My skin so pale, I…
The wind is howling round my ears, I face the judgement of my peers. I didn't do it yet they believe, And I'm not granted a reprieve. Let me go to prove my worth, Let me go, look not with mirth, I stead you smirk and smile at me, I look f…
Sitting in the airport, I watch as life goes by, Over there a woman moans, And a baby may just cry. Outside the window planes take off, I wonder where they go, If I checked a monitor, I suppose that then I'd know. Waiting for a little dr…
Remember when we all used words? That time so long ago? When 'C U L8R' wasn't that, It was 'know' instead of 'no'? Remember when we taught to spell, And every write was art? And every work was not from '<3', No, it was from the heart. R…

You break me, You take me, But you make me what I am. You touch me, Too much for me, I clutch what's left to damn. Dependant, Defendant, You lend your strength, I take. You still me, You kill me, But fill me for your sake. I love you, …
Dancing to my own tune, Making my own beat, Stirring up another storm, From fingers to my feet. Rhythms in the heavy air, I'll make my tempo fit, Blow a fire, light a match, Draw back, let loose and hit. Going how I want to go, Doing what…
I'd write and write till written dry, Till no more ink in my pen to cry, Till paper's gone and skin all used, Every surface scratched, abused.

A shard of a mirror, A piece of a glass, A reflective, smooth surface, I pray this will last. A pale face inside it, The eyes, empty pits, The shadow reflected, Just quietly sits. I used to love mirrors, Translucent and true, Until they d…

It's not just a place, Not a language or 'type', It sure isn't temporary, And worth all the hype. It's not just a phase, Mom, Not preppy or 'in', It's the sort of society That's there thick or thin. It's not just a new land, It's in every …

Carved of chocolate, Made of gold, Something new And something old. Spirals reaching, Clouds grip tight, Flags are swaying, Birds mid-flight. Fanfares hailing, Stallions neigh, Guards march quickly Every way. Swans a-swimming Geese a-lay…

Pent-up anger, Pent-up hurt, Don't yell at me Voice so curt. Leaking terror, Leaking fight, Please don't hurt me For tonight. Waiting smirking, Waiting bites, I don't like dark Leave the lights. Painful scratches, Painful lungs, Ticking…

The clock strikes twelve, With chimes and squeals, My eyes go wide, Time's on my heels. I run from him, My riches? Rags, The wide, blue skirt, Deflates and sags. He lets me go, Then grabs me back, But I run on, It's time's attack. I los…
I can't breathe when underwater, Cannot smile before my slaughter, Can't move when told to run, Cannot, will not jump the gun. I can't look when I am blind, Cannot win if I'm behind, Can't be upped when I'm the top, Cannot pause and cannot…
My last day of my ' c h i l d h o o d ' Tomorrow I'm eighteen. It's funny when I think about how many years I've seen. And God, so many M e m o r i e s The good, the bad, the great- The sad, the worst, the brilliant, Yet I need them al…
My bones are popping, Skin is shredded, Become something, Legends dreaded. Nose to snout, And feet to paws, Upon those grey four, I grow claws. My heart's constricting, Breath is light, I don't feel human, Not weak, not slight. I yell, b…
It's striking at my windows, It's bruising all the panes, Shrieking and it's howling, Rattling at its chains. Almighty power beating, I pretend it isn't there, Not so easy when it's loud, And rampant with its scare. Rain parades 'longsid…
Feverish and brilliant, Eyes the green of seas, Lips like bows of ruby red, You'll bring me to my knees. Bewitching and something apart, A heaven in its right, A touch, so soft and tremulous, I keep it through the night. Where your hand w…
I was Wiped. I did something bad. Now my name is Caroline. And I'm about to do something bad again. It was morning. I'd forgotten how much I liked morning. Clear air and bird song; the scenery for a romantic ballad. Much at opp…
On a good day, Oh! It's brilliant! On a bad day, How it pains. On a Wednesday, I might be a slate, By that Thursday, I'll have stains. On a grand day, It's magnificent! On a shit day, I'm a shell. On a Tuesday, I'll forget it all, By th…
She told me to take just one bite, I met her in the dark of night. She held a withered candle light, Her figure slumped and shoulders slight. I took the apple, gently so, The woman watched, she didn't go. Her narrow frame swayed to and fro…
I'm that forbidden fruit, The drink you're scared to try, One sip and you'll be drunk off me, You'll kiss good sense goodbye. I'm that constant temptation, The frosting on that cake, One taste and you're addicted, Regardless what's at stak…
Picture this: He's in a mask, His eyes are all you'll see. A flash, A shift of shadows gone, He could be you or me. Except he's not, His eyes hold all, The good, the bad, the truth. He'll take it all, Or stay until, He gets it nail and t…
Another drink? Another dollar. Technology's a liquid collar. A vice around, My puny mind, So easily, I'll fall behind. And iThing, No surprise, And they'll keep coming, I surmise. Then it's iPets, iLoo, iSit, iFire, iIce, iPiss, iShit. Am I…
A tiny flutter in my chest, The first I've felt in years, Suddenly it all means naught: That heartbreak and those tears. The tiny movement gives me hope, I feel it, deep and true, Something someone's done or said, Has finally got through.

Hola, it's Sunday again here in the not-so-sunny North of England. And the rest of England, for that matter. And lots of places besides England. Gee. IT'S SUNDAY. So, my mother approached me today and asked what sort of champagne I wanted…
{A short story - a random idea!} I must have done something bad. That's why people are Wiped. I woke in the hospital, staring up at a blank ceiling. Sitting in a blank room. My mind? Blank. My fists were clenched at my…
It's that smile you gift a stranger, That laugh at someone's joke, That penny you drop in the hat- Of someone who is broke. It's that door that you hold open, That 'hi' when you walk past, The little step to make some room- When traffic go…
There once were things called 'secrets', And everyone had their own, That little bit of them was dark, And in its right: alone. Remember those things called 'secrets', You wouldn't tell a soul, Having a secret: one or two, Was enough to ma…
I try to fly, But how I fall. I try to run, Instead I crawl. I try to scream, Instead I breathe. I try be calm, But I just seethe. I try to smile, But tears precede. I try to follow, Instead I lead. I try to love, But how I fail. I t…
Please, take these wings, They're broken and lost, I rose and I fell, Now I suffer the cost. Take them and use them, Burn them or keep, Do not fly so close, though, That price is too steep. Remember dear Icarus, Flew close to the sun, Bat…
{bit abstract...} Sometimes Stuck On the cusp of reality. Wondering Pondering My state of Mortality. If I were to leave Just go One cold night, Would anyone care Or Put up a f…
I love you, Please don't leave me. A father, Dad, my world. Sheltering, Protecting, From all so meanly hurled. You've been that heartfelt shoulder, I'll cry on, Weep on, Cling. No one quite can understand, The cherished feel you bring. My…
The night-time fell, And dusk set in, And dark began its rule. The air grew damp, Deep alleys: slick, For evening, this was fuel. The darkness roared, The evening laughed, The antics, O, were nigh. The black cats ran, The rats made haste, …
I'd wait for you A life time Except you'd never come. I'll wait for you Through good and bad Until my bones grow numb. I'll wait for you Through rain and sleet Till ice seeps through my heart. I'd wait for you Recite our vows 'Until deat…
It's a silent killer, A violent killer, It crushes you like glass. It makes you hopeless, Makes you gutless, Something I wish I could pass. It has you praying, Has you saying: 'I wish it wasn't real.' It'll catch you crying, Catch you sighi…
You don't need masks, Or capes, Or gloves, To be a super hero. You don't need powers, Sidekicks, Spotlights, To get where you want to go. You don't need secrets, Bases, Products, To make you someone new. You don't need anyone, But yourse…
W here have you gone? H e misses your heat, E arly in mornings, R eal; stuck on repeat. E ven at night time, H e waits for your breath, A lovely calm moment, V eers back to that 'death'. E ither you come back - Y ou stay, or you go, O r…
Oh, so many people, Never felt so damned alone, All the bitching and the wailing, It's enough to make me groan. The rumour mill a-sparkles, But it doesn't shine for me, Look deep beyond the surface, Yet the truth you'll still not see. Cov…
Destruction And anger Despair And distraught Captured And hidden They've killed Every thought. No sense of Community No pain No gain No life in Purgatory Just blood Where you've lain. Harassment And bloodshed Corruption And death A vow…
On the brink of something new, Should I fly, is it too soon? If I fall, I'm scared I'll crash... Is it worth the break and smash? Take a chance, they all may say, But I just want another day, Forever putting off the change, Avoiding what i…
Sunday is upon us once again. HOLA! So, it's nearly time for me to go to Barcelona for my birthday! Yeah, I'm being taken to BARCELONA this year... I'm super psyched. I can't speak Spanish except for swear words though... And the worryin…
Oh gosh, I wish this snow would go, You might like, but me? Heck no. Spoiled my birthday for five years, One too many, I hope it clears! Oh gosh, I wish this snow would leave, It should go if I just believe! You all might laugh and love …
Lips as black as blackest coal, To contrast with my skin, Skeletal legs and bony arms, I've never been so thin. Hair as red as fresh-spilled blood, A wave runs down my back, A long sword at my sharp hip bone, And I'm ready for attack. Bat…
Have you ever had a nightmare, That wakes you in a sweat? That leaves you at a loss for breath? With eyes and cheeks still wet? A bad dream on the conscience, That doesn't fade with day, No matter how much silent prayer, It will not go awa…
Hiding from the world, Because no one understands, So many different mothers, Ask to hold so many hands. Another bed, another room, My really mummy's gone, I don't know why she left me or- What it was that I did wrong. Another 'Call me Da…
You'll be seen with me by nightlight, When all the world's asleep, When slumber's stalking through the night, And dreams are all too deep. But you won't when it is daylight, I'm another passing face, And in your life when sun is up, I just…
All you see is the long blonde hair, The wide brown eyes, The mile-long stare. All you see is the dark brown roots, The long, slim legs, The military boots. All you see is the torn skinny jeans, The blue ripped jacket, The broken seams. …
Anticipation; nervous, I've done this once before, Refuse to do it badly, After this there is no more. Quivering and twitching, Hand clench around a pen, Staring at the paper, I won't do this again. Determined and on fire, Adrenaline's a …
I would not swap this fragile love, For all good on this earth. I would not swap this epic love, For quiet, and warmth and worth. I would not swap this heartfelt love, For family or friends... Is this the type of love I read? A love that…
So much stress, But I can do this. So much work, But I'll get through this. So much time, But I must use this. So little sleep, But I must must do this. Not so long, Until it pays off. Not much time, Until it pays off. Keep my head, S…
Like a tiny little blackbird, A-perching on this ledge, Just a feet forwards, And I'll teeter on the edge. I'll splay my wings and I will soar, An eagle, in my head, To others I'll just be a blur, A passing smudge instead. My feathers fan…

I wear the scars, they don't wear me. I set the boundaries, choose what they'll be. I write my lines, they don't fall out. And if I speak, I may just shout. I wear the scars, they don't wear me. I use my eyes, that's how I see. I sing…
One tiny lie, An echo of doubt, Comes out as a whisper, When I try to shout. Caged up inside me, Word after word, Truth after truth, That will never be heard. Boiling with anger, They'll never see light, But they come out to play, In secr…
Oh, trust me, I have tried. With sweat and blood, I've cried. I've let the cruelties slide, And you've smirked with unchecked pride. Your eyes of crystal blue, And all along you knew... What you 'felt' wasn't true, There was no 'me and you…
Just one kiss Will tide me over For a day. Just one look Will make me see All things your way. Just one touch Will leave me high I'll smile so long. Just one sneer I'll realise That I was wrong.
I might live it or might not. Somewhere along the L I N E - I have to decide what to do But for now I'm happy Coasting Slightly Easily Comfortably In a world of my own choosing.
I grip a glass between my hands, Oh, alcohol! It understands! It doesn't curse my ups and downs, And when I'm sad, it stops my frowns. A friend like drink is hard to find, When I'm a mess, it's thoughtful: blind. It tickles me and makes …
Just. Won't. Leave. Like an edge that I can't drink away Can't drown Can't burn Can't cut Can't cure. Hovering on the edge, A dangerous precipice. How I'd love to move on Move away Anywhere but here In this worry But no. It doesn't relea…
*set in a dystopian society* All my life encouraged, To do what is deemed 'best', Well what if I don't want to do, What won't get off my chest? Instead I want to be alone, My books are all I need, I can recognise a line, That all societie…
Hello Sunday. Hello Sunday readers. So I have an exam on Friday... Asdfghjkkl <-- that about sums it up. It's a resit. So no matter if I fail or not, I've still got my fall-back grade, which is a pass. But argh! Exams hate me. This partic…
Don't hate my hating. It's pretty and it's white, So fluffy it might seem, The colour of untainted white, Like clouds or like a dream. Reality hits hard though. It's cold and cruel and wet, It can turn to slush so fast, Or ice - if it doe…
I woke up from the dream. But GOD it felt so real, I felt the heartbeat in my stomach, Oh, what a thing to feel... My thoughts were lying pregnant, My stomach heavy, too, Place my palm across my navel, Instinctively I knew. Another life i…
I tried. It got me nowhere.
I read for hours And hours And hours And hours And- I wonder. What's the point But then my question is answered In W H Auden's: 'Ironic points of light'. I think I understand Poetry And literature When I put the words together And read …
I was wrong. But saying 'sorry' hurts.
Wrote a song. Sung it. Got famous.
I never asked to be saved.
Sometimes I feel broken, I feel beaten up, I'm down. Everything I say is wrong, It's dark, it's grey, I'll frown. Foot in my mouth, Face in the mud, I'll cry. I'll cry. You'll smile. And even if I even try, Or go the extra mile... W r o n …
I know that I'm not perfect, I'm not pretty, I'm not smart, I know that I have too-big ears, But trust me: I have heart. I know that I'm not brilliant, Don't look like something great, My nose too long, my legs too long, My hair a god damn…
I call it 'love'. He calls it 'playing'. When he is laughing, My mind is greying. I call it 'love'. He calls it 'dancing'. He thinks it bare, I think: romancing. I call it 'love'. He calls it 'kissing'. He thinks it fun, Something is…
No words No sighs No songs No cries No sentence... Repentance? Dried out Can't shout I want to write I've got no fight Writer's block? What a shock... Belonging where- Scare Scare. Scare. No form No night No day No light Nowhere to …
H opelessly E ndlessly A bsolutely R idiculously T horoughly F uriously E vidently L ongingly T otally ... In love with you.
The day was mist and cloud banks, You came to me and cried, You told me you were sorry, and- You never should have died. Thunder cracked with lightning, There was nothing I could do, Once dead, the dead stay buried, and- Their mortal life…
I could sleep a lifetime, My eyes would flutter shut, Take me to a land of dreams, Escaping from this rut. I could sleep for ever, Be alive inside my head, Curled in a ball under the quilts, Wrapped up, asleep, instead. I could sleep for …
When you try your best but you can't succeed... ...I cannot give you all you need. Yes, tears may fall down swollen cheeks... ... For me, my whimper softly speaks. When you try to love but you can not win... ... Walking on glass, and it's…
I didn't think I needed love, It turns out that I do, I cannot go a single hour, Without thinking of you. You've worked your way into my heart, My dreams - in day or night, I used to think love was a myth, But now I've seen your light. S…
A moth drawn to the flame, A flicker in the dark, A heady combination, A teasing, taunting spark. A flutter of its browny wings, The candle starts to ebb, Settle please, before it's dark, Else there's the lure of web. Antennae slowly prob…
I could be a superhero, Masks and capes; a glove? Stopping baddies in their tracks, Whilst watching from above. I could be a King or Queen, The ruler of a land, Decide the fate of thousands here, With one wave of my hand. I could be an as…
Once she was a ballet girl, And skater boys were it, She thought she knew society, She thought it gave a shit. But then she learned the world was hard, That no one ever helped, Swallowed by Collective Voice, The louder that you yelped. T…
Sunday. Hi anyone still reading. Which, judging from the lovely responses last week, actually seems to be more than myself! So, yesterday I saw The Hobbit. Everyone should see it. It's got dragons, gold, Gollum's big baby blues... And …
Hi Heather. This year is going to go unbelievably badly for you. Sorry, it's true. Although you'll pass all your exams, you'll feel like a complete and utter failure in your family's eyes, and you'll find yourself struggling to find any…
But I'm trying to express myself, My words are all I've got! But no one understands me, and- I haven't got a lot! But what I say is myself at heart, But you just don't get me! My words are something deep, I swear, Why won't you let me be! …
There's been a slight mistake. I'm not meant to be here, No, thank you, Mister Hatter, I'm too young to have a beer! You see, there was a rabbit hole, I tripped, and tumbled down, No, My Lady Queen of Hearts, I'm not after your crown. All…
I cannot say I know you though I've known you for so long, I cannot say what you think's right is always never wrong. I cannot act like you're in charge, when equal's what we are, I never knew that what we have would reach so long and fa…
I wish I could talk like I think. Speak as fluid as I blink. I wish I could bottle my dreams, My laugh be as loud as my screams. I wish I could smile and it spread, As quickly as hair grows on my head. Which is very quick, to be fair, It…
Cloaked figures and pale faces, They glide through mist and fog, There is no sound, no evidence, As they drift through the smog. They're vampires - there is no doubt, Too cool to 'no' that truth, Graceful limbs and gleaming teeth, There's …
My bones are oh-so weary, I'm tired of this game, It started with that devil's hand, I'd never win your name. Play poker with the Monster? Oh, whose idea was this? Every play a fiery bet, Every lay a latent kiss. You play flush and trump …
I dreamt I was a princess, I dreamt I had a power, I dreamt I wasn't useless, I dreamt without a tower. I dreamt I had my own blade, I dreamt I fought for us, I dreamt I made a difference, I dreamt I made a fuss. I dreamt I was an alien, I …
The tiny tin soldier, With the crystal glass heart, Made from rust and ancient cogs, He would not wear apart. He saw a ballerina, Where she stood upon her stand, Saw her graceful arabesque, The limpness of her hand. He knew he'd never hav…
The others call me 'special', And laugh behind my back, They think that I don't hear them, But I learnt to; got the knack. Just because I'm cleverer, But can't quite find the word, I still get sore and sad inside, My eyes get wet and blurr…
I JUST NEED TO RANT ABOUT THIS. Who can define 'perfect'? Is it blonde hair and blue eyes? Or really thin and dark haired? Ears pierced or left alone? Height of fashion or wearing what makes you comfortable? I don't think anybody can. Ye…
My heart is covered over, With the finest sheen of ice, Nothing ever will break through, It sets the highest price. My heart is sticky, full of tar, The blackest of the black, Carnivorous and tainted too, I said: it will not crack. My h…
I'm shattered and I'm broken, But you don't seem to care, All you do is watch me, Through that mirror with your stare. The finest crack and sliver, Runs down this pane of glass, It ruins our reflection, You glare, your gaze so brass. You'…
If I hide beneath my quilt, Maybe it will go. If I bury under sheets, Nobody here will know. If I smile and wave my hand, It'll be just like I'm fine, If I laugh along with you, It'll be as if I shine. But if I try for way too long, To …
I've counted down the minutes- Seconds- Hours- Days- My heart is beating joyously, A frenzied, bloody craze. I've waited for a lifetime- A night- A day- A life- My body's driven quickly on, On edge, as if a knife. I've sung and danced and…
I know I said I'd stop it, Just one more go, I swear, It helps me at the best of times, A comfort: cause it's there. It makes me really like myself, It makes me smile, at least, Sure it cracks my appetite, But later on I'll feast! One mor…
This year I'll be careful, Won't make you stay up late, Whilst I'm out and you're worrying, I'll try not to make you wait. This year I'll try harder, I won't make such a fuss, I'll make you all the tea you want, When I know it's only us. …
A whisper in the hallways, A grey smudge in the yard, Not solid and not touchable, Not see-through yet not hard. A haunting call across the floor, A creak along a stair, A shifting shadow that you missed, You look. There's nothing there. …
It's meaningless without you, You've had this kind of weight, I thought, since I first met you, That oh! This must be fate. To never be without you, Would be my only wish, I caught you in this massive sea, Amongst the many fish. You're to…
I've survived another year, This next, it will be great, It's been a long time coming, But it's sure been worth the wait! I predict a mighty good one! Lets make it count, okay? Value what we all have got, Every second, every day. Live lif…
One too many beers, And still it ain't enough, Not too long till midnight, I'm hanging in there tough! A Happy New Year, Opuss, Let's hope it's one that's good, Wishing you the love and hugs, That any kitten would! Another glass of champa…
A brand new year, A crystal chance, A fresh new start, An undone dance. A noteless song, A blank white page, A canvas new, An empty stage. A yet-grown tree, An unshed tear, A bright new light: A brand new year.
Ever year I say it: 'A new year, a new me!' I never really think it through, Who do I want to be? I always end up failing, The same old habits lapse, And all those crazy plans I had, All crumble, fall, collapse. I've decided I should give…
"So this is what's called 'Witching Hour'?" I heard a daemon scoff. I checked my watch and smiled a smile, He was a minute off. This little angry red thing, With horns and fangs so red... Had no idea in a moment, What would come instead.…
The pouring rain, The howling wind, The weather's angry call. The cackling trees, The groaning spines, The tallest trunk could fall. The angry moans, The wildest screams, The window seems so frail. I lie alone, Curled up in bed, And list…
Dear Diary. And Opuss. And anyone else who actually bothers to read these every Sunday. Hi. Okay, so nightmares. I haven't been sleeping well recently, and I've taken to having naps at about three every afternoon. I love a good nap, bu…
One day we might stop living, We'll have apps for that, why care? And when we've all got plastic skin, We'll work next on our hair. One day there won't be humans, Machines and things instead, We'll be cyborg-mixes, With bodies filled with …
This was the first Opuss I ever posted: Quinn felt tears of exertion trickle down her chin as she flitted through the maze. All around her the snapping and baying hounds nipped at her heels and ate at her paranoia. Her feet felt numb wit…
I try to stay quiet, But I'd like to say, You just don't fit in, And you're staying that way. You make no attempt, To just be your own, It's like you can't function, If you're out here alone. Well, the rest of us managed, With no army or …
You're hot, You're cold. You're everywhere. From the time I keep, To the clothes I wear. You're in, You're out. You're all around. You're out of time, And you're out of sound. You're new, You're old. You're something more. You're that emp…
I just had a nightmare, It roused me from my sleep, Tore its way down to my heart, Swam, and swam so deep. The nightmare plagued my conscience, It knew my rights and sins, It taught me something special, that: The nightmare always wins. T…
She's waiting for December, She knows that that's her time, When every other's freezing, She's out in the sublime. The ice makes up her playground, The snow a cool, cool drink, The winter air a pleasant bite, The sunrise: bitter, pink. Sh…
I don't trust, And I don't preach, I listen to what, The highers teach. They say don't love, So I don't feel, For they mean best, And time will heal. They say don't speak, 'Til spoken to, So I stay silent, The whole way through. They say…
A halo of hair as red can be, Be there for scratched or broken knee, Picks me up and sets me down, Always a smile and never a frown. Her lips up tilted, knowingly, Her wisps of hair fly fast and free, My mother watches from above, My own t…
I thought something was wrong, When I looked here this morning, '148' since night, With nothing like a warming. So I look back two hours on, And they are gone, good God, Did you think you'd get away, With something that's so odd? Didn't t…
Suddenly a lot has changed, I'm feeling suddenly estranged, I thought I knew you - maybe not, I'm giving everything I've got. How much more do I have left? Before you leave me here: bereft? There's only so much I can do, Before you're want…
The writing seems to leave my bones, The words have gone and left their homes. What to do when uninspired, When my brain is word-use tired. A break perhaps? I'll play by ear, There's so much more I'm sure to hear.
Well, Christmas seemed to run away, I've never met so fast a day, It began but ended soon, In a trice, 'twas suddenly noon. Savour it, I wish I had, It flashed on by - it is quite sad, At least I smiled and had my fun, And the holidays hav…
And so another Christmas passed, Outdone itself again, Smiles, laughter and the lot, Have far outshone the rain. I've shared it with my family, And chatted to my friends, Cooed and thanked for all the gifts, I'll fit in with the trends! G…
I'd like to wish you all a smile, And a hug, cause that's my style, It's Christmas Day, and so good cheer! The time for celebration's here! This is my first Christmas on this app, And so before I take a nap, A Merry Christmas to you all! I…
You've got to be in bed by eight, Because- well, do you know the date? December twenty fourth, it is, It's Santa Clause's day; it's his! Put the pies and wine out there, Write a letter, show you care. So go to bed so you're not up, Just …
The smell of baking's in the air, Mum has flour in her hair, The rabbits run around the tree, I see one, then two, then three! Dad is sitting at the dock, Playing music, let it rock, The Pogues are playing loud and clear, It's the sound if…
It's Christmas Eve already! December twenty fourth! A sheet of ice upon the ground, It's freezing cold up north! These days have gone so quickly, The presents gathered up, The baking it begins today, Of mulled wine: have a cup! Excitement…
A splash of sunset makes the sky, A 'V' of geese and ducks there fly, The colours vivid, is it dye? Until the eve, it bids goodbye... Red and gold and blue and dusk, Mottled with the evening musk. Silver, white, a splash of grey, A gorgeo…
Bonjour! C'est Dimanche! Hello! It's Sunday! Which means it's time for another diary entry, so: Dear Diary... I started my Christmas shopping early this year and am proud and a little bit smug to announce that I had all my wrapping done …
There was a time when humankind felt something for the world. There was a time we faced the threats and battled what was hurled. There was a time we knew and tried to make a better place. There was a time when humankind was Earth's prote…
This city needs a hero, And that is what I'll be, Hidden under masks and cloaks, My face: no one will see. This city needs a hero, In a cape I'll rule the dark, Stain the sky with a bright light, Push onto black my mark. This city needs a…
She lies upon her father's grave, Behind her, Mother sings a stave, Lost in war, two years have passed, And yet the sadness ever lasts. Rejoicing in the things he did, Trace his name on gravestone's grid, A tear slides down, soft on cheek,…
I sing a song, A lullaby, My mournful words Caress the sky, I hope you hear, I know you don't, I sing it louder But you won't, I sing by day, And mourn by night, Pray someday I'll see your light, The only thing That keeps me here, Is kno…
I'm a little disappointed, That today was just the norm, Expected zombies, shooting stars, Or hornets in a swarm. Or maybe heavy tidal waves, Or raining dogs and cats, An influx of the measles or- A heap of undead rats. A cure for cancer…
The white-grey sky, The tree's inside, The cloudy breath, Frost in a tide. The bauble's red, The music's loud, The cold to bones, The mist, a shroud. The happiness, The love and cheer, The yelling kids: 'Christmas is here!' The end of ye…
Well guys, I'm still alive so far, Not been hit by a shooting star- Haven't been struck by a stick of ice, Had a lie-in though and it's been quite nice! Got a pulse, so that's all good, Feeling fine, as a human should! Breathing's as it'…
If we die tomorrow, I think I'll be alright. Although there will be darkness, I know I've seen the light. If it ends tomorrow, And the world turns grey and dark, I know I've had it goodly, I've really had a lark. I've travelled round the …
Merriness and happiness, Giddiness, it's true, Ecstatic and an endless smile, Christmas, what you do! A laughter that won't leave my face, A song spills from my lips, Reaching to the highest branch, With tinsel at my hips. Loveliness and…
I don't think in music. I don't think in lines. I don't think in canvases. No. I think in rhymes. I don't speak in eloquence. I don't speak in prose. I don't speak in coloured tongue. No, it's rhyme: I chose. I don't laugh with use of t…
But yet so bright as a shooting star, A-blaze And travelling across the sky. A meteorite:- Crashing Crashing! Towards Earth, On a collision course. A glint in your eye, A knowing glint, A curve of a smirk on your lips- A hint? A star At …
Slow today, It's quiet today, Where is everyone? Gone away? It Christmas, though! We need to write! And laugh and sing, Of our delight! Come on out, I know you're there, It's all too hushed, It's quite a scare... Why so quiet? Why so sti…
I found them in the bedroom, My husband with the maid, My husband with that little rat, The one with the brown braid. Compromising kisses, The screams that I let off, For I'm the Queen of Hearts, you see, Couldn't be a subtle cough. My cr…
The longest day. The hours d r a g. I'm nearly at the end of my rag. Just two more days, And I can last! Then think of all the days that passed!
I try as hard as hard may get, Yet words fall from my mind, For when I'm put in front of you, I'm deaf, I'm dumb, I'm blind. How can I have much to say, When I can't form one word? How can I be understood, When even I'm not heard? How ca…
All this world does is push you down, In this endless sea it makes you drown. You're nothing special, another wave, Another note on a crowded stave. You're no one man or woman alone, You're another of this world's endless clones. Instead…
I'll be silent as a shadow, I'll be subtle as a ghost, I'll be but a whisper on the wind, A soft, soft cry at most. I swear you will not hear me, I swear you will not see, I swear I'll only be a shade, You'll never guess it's me. You just…
Dear Diary. Hello. Again. Yeah, so it's Sunday once more... So this Sunday I reckoned I would rant about nicknames. You see, nicknames are a rather large part of my family. Unfortunately for me, I seem to get the worst ones. My younger si…
When I opened my eyes I knew it had happened again. I knew I'd fallen asleep. This time, judging by the fine layer of dust about my bedroom, it had been a good while. And they'd just left me. Sometimes it happened when I was doing someth…
Alice fell into the hole, Tunnel hot as fire's coal, Burnt her skin to cinder red, Made her wish that she was dead. Woke up on the other side, Felt the rabbit white had lied, He'd gone through yet not a scratch, Yet Alice was no more a cat…
- Some of my friends are moving away today... - It's time to say a last good bye, The time for you to leave is nigh. To say farewell to our best friends, It seems like one of many ends. Known you for a thousand years, Loved through happi…
- An extract from 'Storm', a story I'm currently publishing on Wattpad! - I sauntered into the bar like I owned the joint. It was standard procedure really... Act like you haven't just spent an hour and a quarter waiting in the queue like …
I wake and rise, stretch in my grave, Hear a lone piano's stave, Know it's you, you wait for me, Every day from noon to three. I know I hold you back like none, A weight on shoulders, I'm three tonne, An old corpse bride I love you still, …
Let me go and let me cry, Then let the days all pass on by. Let me love and let me lose, Let me know I couldn't choose. Let me pale and let me smile, And let time pass: a little while. Let me sob but let me stop, And let me get back to t…
Cause snorting's so attractive, A sneeze a minute, too, Talking through my chattering teeth, That's so hot, who knew? Coughing like a smoker, Phlegm up in my throat, Shudders down my layered arms, I need another coat. A red nose? Freakin'…
"I took a breath. I pursed my lips. Tilted my head. Hands on my hips. "Did she say: 'Stay on the path, Or face the evil Wolfy's wrath'? "I can't remember, But who cares? Just one step... There won't be bears... "There won't be tigers, Li…
She leaned on her broom and said with a sigh: 'I'm so sick of chores and I wish time would fly.' But this was no fairytale, no good end came, Every day for poor Cinders, exactly the same. She'd wake and she'd wash her stepmother's toes, S…
She lies inside her coffin: A case of ice and glass, With legs of smoothest ivory, And handles carved of brass. Porcelain, her skin shines; They pick her up with ease, Humming mournful, sadly songs, Procession through the trees. Her lips …
If you can't speak nicely, Don't speak at all. If you don't get 'equals', Just keep your voice small. If your smile's a smirk, Then keep your face straight. If you cannot love, Then bottle up your hate. If you'll just ruin fun, And you'…
This is Sam! Also known cheekily as 'the girl with the eye as the profile pic' and '@sammielee46'! Q: How did you come across Opuss? A: Well I've always had a passion for writing, and absolutely love reading, so I was on the App Store che…
What I want to know is this: Do you feel nothing when we kiss? Is 'loyalty' and 'love' a farce? Is understanding wide and sparse? Do you 'get it', when I say- That I love you, every day. For you just never say it back, I pretend it doesn…
Ecstatic! Erratic! So happy I could cry! Beaming! Screaming! So happy I could die! Laughing! Riff-raffing! I don't even care! Singing! Flinging! My hair, oh, everywhere! Yeah, I am excited, And yeah, I just don't care, Don't think I cou…
Turned when she was seven, She knew naught but death and bones, Brought up by nothing but the road, A road of gravelled stones. Childish in appearance, Yet reeked of blood and gore, Luring in with toothy grins, Feeding, then some more. A …
Dear Diary, Hiya again. TWO WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. THANK THE LORD. Okay, so this weekend, my Irish grandparents turn up - for anyone who doesn't know any Irish people - they're mad. Well, mine are. Anyway, here's a few COMPLETELY…
A flush the size of Asia, Spreads out across me cheeks. I've only seen you once or twice, And my colour always leaks. My heartbeat speeds up quickly, Pounding like a race. I wish I could control my pulse, Or never show my face. Breath c…
*Before anyone asks, it's fictional.* Hi there, Little Sister, It's been ten months since you left, Mum and Dad still mourn you, And we all still feel bereft. We know you're still up watching, In Heaven, happy now, So many things to say t…
'Mommy, how are babies made...?' 'It's time we set this rumour laid... Well my dear, it starts with dreams, A mommy wants one, so it seems. She wishes hard and up by God, There's thunder and a lightning rod. The spot that lightning hits i…
So my newest victim, ah, I mean... interviewee... is Molly! That's MinxyMolly to most of you! Q1: How did you find Opuss? A friend of mine (@elliebuxton) recommended it me when she saw I was writing a story in our history class. I got bor…
For @MelchiorJ13, a good, gone friend. Hi, Jack, how are you? I didn't say 'bye'... I just missed your message, By a minute - just shy. I don't know what happened, But I hope that it's good? If not, hope you're okay, As any cat would. Y…
Today, my victim is Lauren... Who you will most likely know as 'littleone'. Yeah, my sister. Don't judge, I'm just as scathing with her as I am with anyone else, if not more! Q: How did you find Opuss? A: Well, you were on it for ages an…
I'd give it all for One more day. To go back to the other way. Before You made it so, so wrong. Ended what was good so long. I cannot speak My words won't work Affections given I'll now shirk, To 'lead you on' I have a fear For you …
The sky's on fire with red and green, A mass of colours I've never seen. I woke at dawn and here I stand, The moon and sun, both hand in hand. The yellow rays with silver light, As sunshine slowly conquers night, The whisper as eve slips aw…
Another day, another victim... And today I interviewed Kim, who you may also know as IrrationalKimmi... Q: What's the hardest Opuss you've ever had to write, and why was it difficult? A: I think the first Opuss I ever posted called 'Perfe…
No one seems to like me, Because I 'prickle skin', But let me tell you something, Who's there through thick and thin? I'll have you know, I'm stoic, I won't fall off with ease, All that bloomin' mistletoe, Is such a bloody tease! I'm simp…
Hi guys! I've decided to start my own investigation into the cats and kittens that make Opuss tick... I'm going to be interviewing them! Up first, I cornered Jack, aka MelchiorJ13... So, big thanks to him! Q: Hiya. How did you come across…
Slipping on a business dress, I think 'this isn't me...' Roped into doing speaking now, Oh, how can this be? Standing up and speaking out, I can do it, yeah it's fine, Doesn't mean I like it though, I'll need a glass of wine.
Feeling quite scared, But laughing as well, For in our Opussia, I've something to tell... Someone says something, That you may not like, The kittens surround you, And say 'take a hike!' See, we got a community, Going on here, We don't nee…
Thunderous! Thunderous! How can't you hear my heart? It beats and yells so loudly, Whenever we do part. Deathly pale! O, deathly pale! My skin you so affect! A rosy hue across my cheeks, My body does correct. Widened eyes! Yes, widened …
Staring at this empty page. It's same-width lines a paper cage. So many thoughts I know are there, But all I do is sigh and stare. Wishing I could write and write, Instead the page looks on with spite. Let me fill this empty space! Thos…
The longest hair in all the land, And all I want's a chop. Finely spun like purest gold, A woven, braided mop. The biggest eyes in all the land, And yet I love my specs, Baby-blue and wide as wide, With sapphire-hazel flecks. Such flawles…
As the day grows darker, The clouds begin to group, The sky becomes all mottled, A stormy, rainy soup. The grounds are icy trappings, The air so bitter cold, You wear about a thousand layers, Cloth like another mould. You wish for nothing g…
That heavy beat of silence, When someone dares to ask: 'What do you want for Christmas?' It's an awkward, must-do task. No one wants to ask for lots, So how far should one go? When someone asks this to your face, Just take it rather slow. …
I run alongside wolves today, I cling to fur and brawn. I cry alongside wolves at night, Our howling so forlorn. I track alongside wolves at dawn, Our paw prints in the snow. I ride alongside wolves so long, We don't care where we go. I…
Dear Diary. Hello Sunday. Again. I'm starting to feel rather Christmassy! How exciting is it?! I know it's only December 2nd but I'm so psyched... Less than a month until I get my sexy Kindle Fire (yippee!). It also means a holiday. Oh L…
My Christmas list would go for miles, When I was six years young, My parents were afraid to ask, For off my tongue would run! But as the years just fly on by, There's little I request, Of course I still have stuff I want, But now it's just…
It looks so lovely from afar, A spotless sheet of white. Twinkling in pale sun's shine, It looks so pretty, light. Reality is different, though. It's cold. It's wet. It's deep. Seeping into every bone, Enough to make me weep! I live most …
I know it's late, But it's so cold, Let me in, And you can scold. I know I'm bad, Was bad to you, It's snowing now, It's seeping through... My battered coat, Dear, let me in, Apologising, For every sin. I know I'm worse, Than all before, Yo…
'Absolutely nothing's wrong.' I swear I'm gonna die. 'Everything is fine, move on.' Just please see through my lie. 'Don't listen to my mumbling.' Take note of every word. 'No really, it's just humbling.' It's like I can't be heard. 'I …
All I need's a little smell, And I become a soulless shell, The smell entices all my bones, I see its many crimson tones. A little drop of brightest red, And sorry but you're good as dead, It's just too much to taunt and tease, All I need …
You are a stave of music, You play for me to hear, Dainty as a flute, a reed, For I've the keenest ear. You are a treble clef now, You start the line of notes, The clarinet with heavy ire, Upon which my hearing dotes. You syncopate the rh…
Nothing to look forward to. Just work And work And more. Nothing to look forward to. Just working Till I'm sore. Nothing to look forward to. But Opuss …
With cool blue eyes, And hair like vines, And veins of green, Her arm entwines, She sits so still, Quite statuesque, And in the breeze, Hairs arabesque. Her lips a bow, Her neck a line, Her stomach bare, Her song divine, Her flesh exposed,…
I said no. I locked you out. I did not cry. I did not shout. I used my words. I shut all doors. I did not flee. Kept in my claws. I said it calm. You have to leave. Serenity. With no reprieve. I kept my smile. Chokes back my tears. Made yo…
*Don't read this if you're averse to violence and suggestiveness!* I could smell Her perfume, Across the hall. She even left that God-damned shawl. Wet footprints, On bathroom tiles, And you emerged, all love and smiles. Lipstick smudged…
A little drip of pressure, Can quickly send me frowning, Amounting to a hurricane, And suddenly I'm drowning. Deadlines set impossibly, Typhoons of work to meet, Failures and criticisms, Heavy as it's sleet. That fractured piece of pressu…
She yells But no one's there to hear She cries But no one sees her tear She loves But no one loves her back She dwe…
Like puzzle pieces fitting, I lay there on the bed, Watching as your lips neared mine, Thoughts running through my head. Been waiting, O, forever! My hair splayed out, so fine, Your lips the colour of cherries, Mine like cultured wine. Yo…
A smile can still be fake. A laugh can still have hurt. A sun can still have rain. A tile can still hold dirt. A tear can still be good. A scent can last for years. A smile can see me through the day. And wipe out all my fears. A flower s…
Insecurities. They cloud me like a hive. An angry swarm of liquid wasps. Eating me alive. Faults and failures. They run along my skin. Wearing all my flesh away. Until I'm bones; I'm thin. Insecurities. They wash away the pride. Desert m…
From the arc of rainfall from the sky, To all the birds southwards up high, To all those early mornings, dark, To the absence of that singing lark. From early eves yet dark again, And cold north breezes, ice, From endless bouts of killer w…
Dear Diary, Hello Sunday... Again. IT'S NEARLY, KIND-OF CHRISTMAS! So this week... I spent a lot if today trying to dismantle a bunk bed, ended up trapping myself in the room under pieces of wood - looked like there'd been a one-roomed e…
Find me under piles of books, Find me with a pen. Find me buried under sheets, Of parchment, in my den. Find me under bedcovers, Novel under nose. Find me with a boiling drink, And bed-socks on my toes. Find me working at my desk, Typin…
I can't believe it's been a year, Of poetry and songs, Of novels, stories, sonnets, rhymes, There have been rights and wrongs. Of course we've had our ups and downs, But we've all made it through, And those of us who still write on, Are th…
Some may call it 'scarlet', The colour of stirred blood, The splashing liquid of the vein, Pouring from flesh; a flood. Some may call it 'crimson', The shade of roses' leaves, The petals crushed and falling down, Of wine on many eves. Som…
Big meows to everyone who entered - it was hard to choose, honest! 3rd Place: @daydreamingbaby 2nd Place: @RichWithey 1st ... @Leelee101 with 'CrapTVTimes' ! Yay! Over to you, Lee!
Lie us down In fields of green Admiring dew In its fine sheen Chasing sand dunes Laughter Smiles Coldest flesh On coldest tiles Warm warm showers Hot drinks and food Winter's coming In the mood Lie us down On pillowed sheets Smooth sheet…
My eyes turn black, My mouth grows slack, I raise my hands up high. My ears do ring, Up! My hands fling! My hair begins to fly. My lips turn up, My palms both cup, An orb of light appears. My muscles tremble, Ghouls, I resemble, My face …
Another day, another dawn, Yet no time to sigh or yawn. Locked into the lifeless ring, Nothing new that I can bring. Ever feel like there's no room? Like you wake up inside a tomb? They tell you to 'express yourself', But you feel stuck on…
One; the gentle, loving kind, A soft compress of heart and mind. Two; the fierce, consuming love, You say you both fit like a glove. Three; the subtle squeeze of hand, For love like yours has no demand. Four; the loudest, smacking kiss, …
A tiny little sliver, A crack is all it took, A tiny break along my heart, It lengthens with each look. The icy coat around my heart, The crack glides deep and true, Indestructibility, Now build me something new. A tiny little gap there, …
Tracing clouds along the sky, 'Try to catch me, just you try!' Were I a bird, I'd fly up there, Plunge through cloud, live on a dare. I'd sing my birdsong loud and clear, Scream it, softly, all can hear, Spread my wings and catch the wind,…
Staying classy when you're drunk, It's so hard when eyesight's shrunk... When you are happy and then sad, Suddenly greatness, back to bad... All you want's to laugh and dance, And all the guys want in your pants... Stay away, no come on …
My little slice of heaven, The pupils, back wide stars, Reflecting in the window lights, Of all the flashing cars. Deep and staring deeper, Young yet wise and kind, Bearing down into my own, I wish t'were mine that shined. Give yourself u…
Barbed wire and mud, Mud and wire and rain, Shouts, screams and gunfire, Never ending pain. Waiting for our call, The time for us to fight, Writing shakily by hand, Be it day or night. Another crash and glow of death, A bomb? Grenade? Wh…
All the fun and all the games, All the grins, so many pains. All the cuts and fall-down scrapes, But tuck me in, with windowed drapes. All the tears, then your soft smile, Hold me, singing all the while. All the love and all the heart, A…
Well you know what? I just don't care. There are far worse things than your cold stare. Harsher things than your grey glare, I'm not a sheet for you to tear. Well you know what? Yeah, I'm strong too. I care not for those words you threw, …
So my Blackberry took a trip today... Off on the bus and far away! At first I'd no idea t'was gone, Then I sensed that something was wrong... I checked my bag and checked my purse, Couldn't find it, let out a curse! Told my Dad, and w…
Sick of rules, They should be broken. I'll rebel, Yes, I'm outspoken. Sick of lines, That I can't 'cross', Try to stop me, It's your loss. Sick of cages, Bar me in, I'll wear them down, Through thick and thin. Sick of stages, They're just g…
YO! YO! YO! YO! ... Umm hi. So, thanks to cperry for choosing my household entry for number one, eek! So the next word, cats and kittens, is... *drum roll* ... Television! I'm pretty sure you could incorporate the whole #ProjectHumani…
Another drink? Another dollar. Technology's a liquid collar. A vice around, My puny mind, So easily, I'll fall behind. And iThing, No surprise, And they'll keep coming, I surmise. Then it's iPets, iLoo, iSit, iFire, iIce, iPiss, iShit. Am I…
I feel like I am drowning, Caught underneath a tide, Feet cannot keep to the sand, My toes just slip and slide. I feel like I am falling, The air won't catch me here, Falling into darkest dark, Surrounds me, every fear. I feel like I am b…
Walking through the Christmas lights, And lit up by the stars, Seeing clouds across the sky, And the golden glow of Mars. The perfect semi-circled moon, The crunch of heels on ground, The smiles of those around about, Such ecstasy I've fou…
I've been running as a wolf, And I've been running for so long, Myself my only company, My howl: my mournful song. I've run across the icy planes, I've travelled over snow, The humans ruined all I had, Now I've nowhere to go. I've broken …
The colour of the richest sun, Yet it cannot compare. The colour of the finest art, Yet it can't hold my stare. The colour of the gayest scene, Yet it can't take my breath. The colour of a memory, Yet life still leads to death. The colour o…
DEAR DIARY, Yep, it's Sunday again... ALREADY. One thing I did not expect to come of this week, was to have broken my eggnog-related barrier; it's true, folks! I am no longer an eggnog-virgin! It's nice. Very sweet, but I do have a swee…
Every footstep forward, I take another back, Every compliment I get, You point out what I lack. Every smile you give me, Another frown on side, Every open talk we have, There's another that we hide. Every happy moment, You cause another s…
All I do is try my best, Meet your every last request. Do your work and do my own, Hope you'll just leave me alone. Keep my grades and keep my smile, Make you think I go the mile. Grinning through criticism, Scale my cage, my icy prison.…
Meow and whatnot... Right, I'll get to it, here are the results for the #ColourChallenge. 3rd place to @HingAling24 with his 'Happy Rigging'. 2nd place to @Littleone with her 'Icy Blue, Bitter Blue'. And 1st place to @Weirdwolf with …
My flesh will flee, My bones will bleach, My fangs will cut, My mouth will leech. Your heart will slow, Your breath will stop, Your limbs will freeze, Your chest will drop. My tongue will taste, My blood will sing, My hands will shake, M…
Another bunny in the house! So happy I could cry! We went and bought him on a whim! He's fluffy, not-so-shy! With light grey fur, And loppy ears, A twitchy nose, It brings me tears... Welcome to the family, Pablo!
Once you see those eyes, You're stuck to the ground, Captured in his icy gaze, Can't move or make a sound. You watch him moving closer, And you wish that you could flee, Instead you simply stand there, Wishing you were free. He stalks wi…
A very happy bunny! A kitten with a smile! Feather's step has one big bounce! And will do for a while! She sent her applications, To four across England, She only waited one whole day, The time ran like quicksand! She got a special offer,…
Thanks to Eddie for picking my 'It's My Name' entry for her 'Heather' colour challenge. So the new colour is... ... Icy blue. Don't forget to tag me and hashtag your entry #ColourChallenge I'll judge around this time tomorrow, get writi…
Happy, was I, ignorant, Now everything has changed, Now I don't know where I am, Feel lonely and estranged. I just want to be alone, Yet with those whom I trust, Away from all the goading words, Where people haven't fussed. Ruined now, …
I'll teeter on the precipice, Worried to go faster, So much fog and ice ahead, I'm scared that I can't master. I'll stay here on the very edge, Take risks? I'd rather stay, Living in the comfortable, Where life won't run away. I'll lie he…
I GUESS THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A VERSE FROM A SONG I JUST RANDOMLY CAME UP WITH... You can call me 'Fire Cracker', 'Soul Attacker', 'Heart Hijacker', Almost like a girl line-backer, Okay maybe not that last. Spirited? Blazing girl. Heated t…
My mother is a teacher, My father teaches, too, My father's father owned a boat, T'was painted white and blue. My father used to sail it, With his father at the bow, The boat was 'The White Heather', But memories taught me how. I asked if…
Does anyone else feel Alone And Isolated.Alienated.Frustrated.Berated.Elated-Then-Slated? Left by yourself To fend for yourself In a world full of CRUEL where hate seems to …
And you're the poison in my veins, And you're the stuff that always stains, And you're the light that blinds my eyes, And you're the truths behind my lies, And you're the void inside my lungs, And you're the missing ladder rungs, And you're…
Some use words as though they're knives, They'll slice the air and ruin lives, Cut the mood then fear arrives, Move through your veins in swooping dives. Some use words to stab your throat, To make you hate what you then wrote, To settle, …
- For people who take things too far - It's not all competition, Sometimes it's just for fun, There's always someone there though, That'll try and make it run. Sometimes you be the bigger man, Stand up, back down, just smile, You'll find …
Heather is a dear, She really is quite great. I love her lots and lots and lots, She's one of my best mates. - Heather's friend. (Hijacked her Opuss!)
Gaze into the mirror, Lock gaze with your own eyes, See them widen/shallow breathing, Signs of your surprise. What if what you saw in there, Is opinion, nothing more, That every stab and painful point, That it may be something more, But …
They say you never know, What you have until it's gone, You'll leave my life so suddenly, And I will feel so wrong. Clammy hands and pale skin, My words just will not work, Trying just to understand, This riddle, every quirk. I'm lucky …
Clouds above Like mottled mist Rain on ground The pavement kissed The saddest toil As sleet sheets down I walk through it I cry and frown Another day Another rain Along the pavement It does stain Will it stop? I'd just stop hope Without th…
Sometimes no one listens, Except the beer in my glass, Sometimes no one understands, Unless I drain it fast. Spirits give me courage, though, To say just what I think, I swear I need that little shot, To push me to that brink. Just one …
You get in late, You take a shot, Of vodka - straight, It burns down hot. You shed your coat, You shed your tights, You light the fire, Knock on the lights. You pour some wine, You grab a book, You hang your vest, Up on a hook. You sip …
When I'm up amongst the clouds, And air is all I see, Wings spread wide and head turned in, It's then I'm truly free.
He sits alone and quietly, On the corner of the bed, Watching her grow up, Realisation in his head. He's had a comfy spot these years, To watch the girl grow old, Loved her from the very start, From when he was first sold. From when he h…
So I've decided I'm going to write a diary entry every Sunday, describing my week's successes (normally few) and failures (normally over-called). I got the idea because a friend recently pointed out to me that I am the weirdest, amusingly c…
Confined inside my wheeled chair, The ghosts of friends surround me, Gunshots, screaming, cannon fire, The echoes still confound me. I hear then in my head at night, They haunt my every day, My legs immobile, arms won't work, Reminded in e…
The bedroom smelt of sex and smoke, Of old cigars and passions broke. A broken bucket by the wall, Tangled sheets to break a fall. A splash of red against the bed, A book discarded, yet unread. A pair of mittens furred and full, Pretenti…
The clack of bones across the night, The eerie moon's most silver light. The howl of werewolves singing true, The moon is full then begins anew. The witches cackle and chant their songs, Singing proud of all their wrongs. The vampires li…
There's only so far I'm willing to go. Only so much weight I'm willing to throw. So much space for me left to grow. So much time spent not high, but low. There's only so long I'm willing to wait. Only so long I'll stay in that state. There…
Sometime there's no easy route, No way to skirt around. Sometimes there's no corners cut, No short paths can be found. Sometimes all you want's a break, But breaks just won't appear. Sometimes things are sacrificed, With no regard for fe…
Standing at the station, Wondering if you'll come, Bodies move around me, But I just stand here, numb. You said that it was over, You usually take it back, Yet standing here I'm colder, You're something that I lack. The train horn in the …
Drooping eyes, Soft, soft sighs, Far away, my pillow cries. Time for bed, Sheets under head, I let dreams overtake, instead.
That one nightmare, Leaves me shaking, Sweat on brow, My body quaking. Hands clutch sheets, My breathing shallow, Look in mirror: Flesh so sallow. Wish for sleep, Yet it's escaping, Inside my head, Dark things are shaping. Demons, warlo…
In what world am I 'perfect'? A silly thought, I know. You always say 'just blend on in', Get sucked into the flow. Can I be my own girl? A person by myself? In what world would you want that? You're just another on the shelf. They're a…
Before me sit the roses, Withered. Dead. And dry. A reminder of my emptiness, A final, sad goodbye. One were red, now purple, Unhealthy, greyish leaves, Yelling in my silent head, Granting me no reprieves. Water turned a cloudy hue, Thorn…
A man made of snow, With features so cold, Yet chiselled so finely, An entirely new mould. Finger 'cross chest, His flesh oh-so cool, Oh how I'd engage, This man in a 'duel'. I'd love for his touch, For his skin to cross mine, To feel his…
I'm not quite sure what else to say, To make it last another day. So scared to stay or be alone, All I hear's an empty drone. Perhaps one day they'll be some man, Who'll like me like no other can. Maybe I'll go and I won't shy, Watch opp…
As soon as Summer faded, She rose from her icy bed, Pale skin like parchment, White hair upon her head. Autumn flashed by quickly, And then she came to power, Cane of frost clutched in her hand, She used it by the hour. She set the ground…
Hi. There's one dream I've had since I was about eleven years old. More of a nightmare really. I don't know why but it's just... Stuck. So I'm walking down a train track. The one outside my childhood home. Picking daisies. Always dais…
Another sigh, It's now goodbye, I wonder why, You even try. You say farewell, And then you dwell. You try and leave, Heart on your sleeve. Another loss, You double cross, You're not your boss, Your heart to toss. Why don't you stop? Jus…
Back to school and work today, For time has up and run away, Half term was only one week long, Now Evil sings his cruel, cruel song. Up at six to start the morn', Waking up before the dawn, Arriving back just after dusk, Feeling like an em…
A paperless place, Just wires and lines, And online transactions, And alerts, symbols, signs. A place without pencils, Just pixels and grit, As many computers, That can possibly fit. A place without novels, In book-form, that sound, Of ru…
Swept like silk, With tangled knots, Mostly gold, With white-ish spots. Never brushed, An air of 'tramp', Oh-so-bright, Except when damp. Issue-filled, My hair and I, Obsessive-compulsive, With my hair dye.
Just wired add-ons Computerised Texts no talk Hate that guy? Online don't balk Punctuation Thatz 4 n00bs Watchin vids On all da tubes Wotz da point Dont tell the wife When all you needz An 0NL1N3 L1F3
Tiny hands, Wide, wide eyed, Kicking feet, Yelling cries. Tear-filled gaze, Tired yawn, Gently sleeps, Wakes at dawn. Eyes bright blue, Mouth, a bow, Fingers grasp, Her little toe. Gurgles, noise, Yelling for food, Dummy lies, Away, half-ch…
One day I'll tell a story, I'll tell it to the world, And it shall be my legacy, My life will be unfurled. One day I'll have adventures, For everyone to hear, And it shall be my legacy, For all those far and near. One day I'll write a nov…
I have to say I love it, But I think that it's got powers, I put it on and snuggle in, And I could write for hours! My recent buy, this jumper, With a bunny on my chest, I don't want to take it off, I feel like I've been blessed! Overreac…
He killed her and he left her, Her corpse a broken mess, Upon an open, empty grave, Waiting to be blessed. Along her skin's her wedding dress, In tatters and in tears, She lies there a bloody corpse, Yet no one really cares. Her hair's a …
So Halloween is DEAD and gone, Town's a SKELETON of streets, Filled with mess from last night out, With LIFELESS husks of sweets... The BODIES of old gory masks, The BONES of plastic mess, Children full of sugared gunk, Parents wishing the…
What to do when no one cares? When life's a series of nightmares? When every night I cry in bed? Every tear, a river's shed. What I do is stand up tall. Then I don't feel quite so small. Straight-my-spine and square my chest, Get this feel…
- accidentally deleted it! - When you say 'I need you', Tell me, do you lie? When I shout and leave you, Tell me, do you cry? When we argue harshly, Tell me are you sad? When we exchange evil words, Do you admit they're bad? When I say 'I …
The words they get stuck in my throat, My heart's lodged with a shard. I never knew I'd struggle so much, That this would be so hard. I know I've done this wrong, so wrong, And yet I cannot say- The words that you are waiting for, To let…
I wish I could take it back, The words dripped from my tongue, Those putrid things I threw at you, With spite and hurt I slung. A pang of pain inside of me, The smell of my regret, A mould I shaped unwillingly, I left too long; it's set. …
A breath of air, A brand new stench, Another figure, On a bench. Far too clouded, For the stars, The scent if whiskey, So many bars. The scraping feet, The honking horns, This many people; Scoffs and scorns. Another night, In a city plac…
The red of freshly spurted blood, Of roses crushed to dust, Of love and danger meshed as one, Of most desired lust. The rouge that makes her full red lips, The heat that makes a fire, It's hot and cold and in between, It's all two might re…
I stood upon the burning pyre, My 'deeds' reflected in the fire, Accusations thrown around, Me? Not heard above the sound, The heat of flames across my skin, An echo of my every 'sin', Voiceless yet convicted here, Of being 'darke', an evil…
Warm, alive beneath my seat, Stamping hooves are stamping feet. Move as one, our flanks are near, A twist of reign for me to steer. A bond so great of trust to bone, Ensures we'll never stay alone. Hearts that pound in sync they thrash, …
Moans and all about us, They're closing in too fast, We know that all humanity, Just wasn't meant to last. Something all to quickly, Impending doom; it's here, The thing that scared us long ago, Now a common fear. {... It's short. Oh well…
Time to be a teenager, To do what we do best, To drown ourselves in alcohol, Ensuring we're unstressed... Down a few of this and that, Collapse and then get up, Greet the other party-ers, 'Hey!' And 'Hi!', 'Whassup?' And fall again a mome…
'Can you catch a mermaid?' She says from up above. 'Not for you, my darling,' Her father says with love. I watch beneath the surface, Her hand entwined with his, Alone beneath the churning sea, With froth and foam and fizz. 'But Daddy, se…
Oh this lovely feeling, To be away from work, To know that I can stay away, From that dull and murk. Tonight we'll have a takeaway, Curry, oh, yes please, Because these months of working passed, Near brought me to my knees. Tomorrow I've …
I'm hot inside, I'm shot inside, You're making me feel good inside. I'm sweet inside, That best inside, You're making me feel new inside. I'm warm inside, A storm inside, You're making me alive inside. I'll smile inside, Walk miles insid…
Inspired by Kim's 'Time Of Our Lives?' We all want a little heart, A happy end, a happy start. With time to think and time to grow, And time to work out what we know. A brand new day we'll always wish, A brand new pond, with brand new fi…
He came to me with shaking hands, And asked me for a spell, 'A potion that will make her love-' Oh, I know this type so well... I opened up my book of spells, To page three-four-five-eight, Took my chalk and made some notes, Upon my witche…
It's hard to find a costume, When you are a girl, Most of them are slutty, So bad that you could hurl. The price of dressing up now, Beyond a joke to me, The price of God-damned costumes, In itself is such a fee! 'Naughty Nurse' or 'Jail …
I don't know how to put my words down with ink and script. It's like my pen has all run dry, it's suddenly tight-lipped. I try to make me literate, to tell you how I feel. It's like my brain is caged from you, a cage of wicked steel. I'…
Footstep Footstep On the pavement Moving fast And Moving quick. Footstep Footstep On the pavement Running And my feet Don't stick. Footstep Footstep Fast or slow Running I don't care Where I go.
*I'm sorry - it's early, it's awful, I'm exhausted!- Silver threads of steel matter, A single swoop and it might shatter, Looks so weak yet feels so strong, Holds till dusk - so not that long. Resting in your hidden cove, In your spider'…
I thought that if I settled down, My laptop on my knees, Glass of Pinot in my hand, Fingers on the keys... Silly, I was foolish, then, To think is get it done, Staring at the too-bright screen, The lines just seemed to run. I wrote but on…
I feel like I am falling. Losing my identity. Losing everything I love. Falling from my sanctity. Everyone is pushing me. Go this way. No. Go there. I don't even know, myself. I'm pulling out my hair. So much pressure strangling. No one …
I'll tiptoe through the shadows, Another in the dark, Another form of blackness, Tail in a graceful arc. Yowling out my business, For each and all to hear, Scouting out the smaller prey, By using my nose and ear. I'm not bad luck, I promi…
Night has fallen all around, Descending black, without a sound, Creeping in as light moves in, Now's the time for wicked sin. The wolves are howling loud and clear, Children hold their teddies near, Witches cackle, screech and scream, And …
- Maybe not for the youngest of readers...! - I swear to God I didn't mean to do it. I. Swear. One moment I was just merrily swaggering down the lane that leads to my house, the next... BAM! Completely unpredictable. How was I to know th…
Stuck inside this modern jungle, Concrete everywhere. Meeting other people's standards, Lay before them bare. So much more than expectations, Weighing on my brow. Doing as They command we here, Not asking why or how. A monarch made of foi…
The sky is alive, With brilliant spots, Stare straight across, At the million dots. Flying formations, Two to eleven, Another tight loop, Of a trio, then seven. Hunting in pairs, Their eyes all too sharp, Their sounds syncopated, Like the…
Ash comes pouring from the sky, It's time to wish this world goodbye, It's broken, torn beyond repair, So much more than 'worse for wear'. It's time to bid a soft farewell, It's now a husk; an empty shell, What once was more is now a wreck…
*Sorry, it's a little complex and unconventional* An iris, cerulean blue. Rimmed with not-a-clue. A pupil oh-so-black. There's something it does lack. Retina of dreams. This one's not all he seems. Concave, convex, all round. Flickering…
Here ye! Here ye! Gather round! Listen close! Don't make a sound! A secret party! Just for we! The Darkest creatures, That there be! The witches! Werewolves! Vamps and Elves! Faeries, Tricksters! Those with spells! There'll be Blood Cake…
Suffering a tummy ache, Hot water bottles ready! A mug of steaming hot chai tea, This soreness holding steady... It feels like little dragons breathing- Fire through my insides, And when I try my pills on them, Every single one just hides!…
So much pressure to get things right, I'll work and toil throughout the night, No recognition when work is done, And all I feel is overrun. My limbs feel tight with tired and ill, And yet you haven't had your fill, You'll send me on until …
They said 'don't dabble in dark magics', But what's the fun without? The normal type, the happy type, Is a whisper to a shout. Instead I break the rules by day, My skin is veined with black, I've started up on necromancy, I know I'll never…
Crushing all your aspirations, Choking all your inhalations, Clutching all your exhalations, Dismissing any celebrations. Opening old wounds with salt, Drawing 'happy' to a halt, Blaming, taunting, all your fault, Hitting like a crossbow's…
I gather up my herbs and tools, Excitement in my bones, Anticipation: every step, Despite my old limbs' groans. My nightshade, ivy in my bag, My steele held at my side, My thoughts of death and blackest ills, Of things one can't abide. Of…
Yelling as I summon them, Chattering with glee, Pushing at each other's backs, Screaming: 'OH, PICK ME!' I decided on this summoning, And the daemons here are ripe, Chittering and breathing fire, Building up their hype. Daemons of the red…
Another day. Another dawn. Another feeling- Feeling torn. Another morn. Another dusk. Left feeling like- A lifeless husk. Another sun. Another moon. Another song- To gently croon. Another star. Another cloud. Another concert- Another c…
For years she was a traveller, A gypsy on the road, Singing songs and telling tales, Relating every ode. For years her stories weren't her own, She spoke of life and dreams, And places filled with magic things, Where nothing's as it seems.…
Nightshade for little kids, Mix it in with candy, And for the parents walking them: Poison laced with brandy. Have a little liquorice, I swear it's really good, Secretly within its folds: Poison Ivy laced with blood. Have a taste of choco…
'Go and see his casket, dear,' Go and greet his death? 'Go and say your last goodbyes,' Remember his last breath? 'Eat something now, service done,' Eat and laugh, he's dead? 'Don't just sit there, socialise!' I want some quiet instead.
The click as bone scrapes naked bone, Clad only in their rags, Withered corpses, regal once, Yet now reduced to hags. It's Halloween and time to come, To surface, rise and chance, The skeletons move from their beds, And start their wicked …
My fangs retract, I smell that smell, For you, it does not bode so well. The air is hot, Your pounding blood, Does things to me that nothing should. My pale, cool skin, Against your own, The smell and sound just call me home. Another dusk, …
Yes, this is my skin colour. Yes, I know I'm small. Yes I'm really slim, too slim? I'm human, so yes, I fall. Yes, my eyes are muddy, And yes, my voice is high, Yes, I work too hard at school, I'm a 'nerd' because I try? Yes, I'm shit at …
Pay no mind, dear child. Rest easy under the boughs Of all those elevated and eloquent thoughts That those gone before have summoned. And sleep under the clouds Of intellect far greater, of ideas far loftier, Than you are able to afford. …
Fragmented, I am torn inside, Tried to run and tried to hide. Tried to face, could not abide, Because I saw your hateful side. Cracked and shattered deep within, Feel like I'm drowned in sin. Cornered and the line wears thin, My grimace I …
I know I'm not the only one who has this little glitch. I've even got the nickname of 'that sneaky wifi witch'. Everywhere I go, I look, it's like I have a tic. It only takes a second, and I have it at a click. Wifi at my fingertips and…
All I want's a little less. To get this feeling off my chest. Sometimes it's like I can't breathe. My inner daemons writhe and seethe. My inner angel's disappeared. This loneliness that I have feared. The words are running from my lips. …
Silver is the moonlight, And silver is the sky, Silver-lining is the clouds, Silver's where I lie. Silver is a passing wind, And silver is a note, Silver is a spinning coin, And silver is my coat. Silver is my mournful howl, Silver are my…
My hearts a moulding wreck, At the bottom of the sea, Decaying slowly, quickly, That hated part of me. It be my only weakness, For that I hate it so, That fleshy red old substance, That I cannot tell 'no'. They used to call me fearless, …
Every drop is thick. Thick with thoughts unsaid. Every splash of blood. Accompanies the dread. Dread seeps through my pores. It joins the blood in dance. Every slice of skin. Another blood-red chance. Chance is like a dice game. Blood ro…
First, I understand, Second, maybe just, Fiftieth was brilliant, One hundredth was a must. At three hundred: crazy! Another few, was great, When I reached four hundred, I was in a state. Now I'm at six hundred, And still I'm going strong,…
I'm swimming with the current, Again, against the tide, Flickering across the sea, Gliding far and wide. Playing with sealions, Dancing with the fish, Racing every basking shark, My tail a blurry swish. Bubbles rising upwards, A school of…
Pull me in, With warmest arms, Taunt me, tease me, With your charms. Let me leave, Then call me back, 'I told you so,' As Cold attacks. Comforting, In smallest way, Prepare me for, Another day. Spit me out, Then take me in, When night do…
Her lips aren't red as roses, Her skin has marks and scars, And when I gaze into her eyes, It's not like I see stars. Her breath is not the sweetest, Her touch not soft and sweet, She hasn't dainty little hands, Nor legs long, or small fee…
So much to say, So little time, Express it all, With simple rhyme. Or make it new, By Flaunting Style, Top it off, With a little smile. Prose or not, As poetry goes, It has us all here, In its throws. Th…
*Suggestive content.* Plush pink silk, Across my skin, The satin feel, So thick, yet thin. Flesh on sheets, Flushed at my brow, Caught in sleep, So restful now. Memories, They flood my mind, Rememb'ring how, We wined and dined. And then…
Glass half empty? Glass half full? Live life fullest? Or live it dull?
He lies there on the ground, A sword clean through his chest, Wondering through pain, If this was another test. He's led a kingdom bravely, He'd fought alongside men, He had been a ruler, From the youthful age of ten. And yet something ha…
IT'S ME AGAIN. YOUR RESIDENT RAMBLER. THIS TOPIC? THE FUTURE. 1) Fact: I am terrified of the future. It's weird to think that every single decision I take now affects my future. 2) Many of you may know - or have gathered - that I travel a…
They say I am a smiler. But underneath I cry. They say I'm always happy. But sometimes it's a lie. They say 'Oh she's the brightest.' I'm not, I only try. They say 'I wish I was her.' Kiss that wish goodbye. They say I'm always happy. T…
I watch the weather change again, Clouds chase across the sky, Temperamental kind of day, The weathers race on by. Another bout of reckless rain, A flash of yellow sun, A glimpse of air, no sun nor rain, Before dawn has yet begun. A marat…
HELLO. THIS IS ME. 1) My name is Heather. I hate it. But doesn't everyone hate their own names at some point in their lives?! 2) I am uncontrollably addicted to dying my hair. I'm blonde at the moment, but I'm naturally a darker blonde, …
Hello cats and kittens of Opuss! I'm unsure as to whether many of you are addictive readers, as I am? Or avid movie watchers? Game-players? Recently, a friend of mine set up a reviewing blog called 'Two And A Half Penguins' on which I am…
Every tear's a waterfall, Every kiss, a quake, Every beat of both our hearts, Reminds us what's at stake. Every touch, a thousand breaths, Every breath, a gust, Every move we make as one, Makes every 'could' a 'must'. Every lie? A stabbin…
H onestly, I'm happy! A Feeling not to lose! P eople just can't get me down, P repare and spread the news! Y es... High. On. Life.
I read it in the papers, I saw it on the news, Heard it on the radio, Presented by show-crews. I saw it on the TV, A whisper in my ear, A distance call from you to me, It's all I seem to hear. It's travelling the grapevine, Yes, everybody…
If I tell you a secret, Will you keep it safe for me? Only tuck it in your pocket, And simply let it be? If I confide my secret, Will you keep it by your heart? And never let it go, for me, Never let it part? If I give you my trust to hav…
I cannot seem to move my limbs unless you say I can. I stand beside you, strung to strings, you are my puppet-man. If you say 'dance' my feet will move all of their own accord. If you say 'fight' I have no choice, I parry with my sword. …
My father used to love me, He said I was his world, He'd look at our fingers, Intertwined and curled. Then one day he stopped smiling, His face grew palely drawn, His demeanour failed him, He seemed so sad, forlorn. I tried my best to ple…
Unbreakable yet broken, A mass if seething lies, Every breath I manage, Comes as a surprise. I thought with you I'd shatter, I thought I'd fade away, Instead my heart, it quickens, And my mind tells me to stay. Heartless, freezing, icy, …
I'm a shadow in the night, A stolen breath if air, You won't hear a sound, You won't know I'm there. I will watch you as you're breathing, Through every single day, And even when you're broken, I'll be here to stay. I'm a visitor in secre…
I sit with pale hands, Watch where the dust lands. My heart an empty void, No longer humanoid. Transparent and alone, This, what Death has shown. A tear stopped in its tracks, My skin with many cracks. An imperfect, haunted ghost, Much …
I paused in the woods, Oh, my breathing was loud, From every direction, Did fog and most shroud. My hairs stood on end, The moon hung above, That slice of white light, That night creatures love. My breathing was shallow, The noises of nig…
Fragmented. I am broken. Small voice. Not outspoken. Up to knees. I'm sinking. I'm no longer thinking.
Another weekend: come and passed, These 'boring' days not meant to last, But 'boring' is just what I need, I wish that they would slow their speed. Another week, it looms ahead, Working days, with limbs of lead, A thousand wishes for the d…
Trapped in a web, Caught in a spell, This hypnotic feeling, With you I know it well.
It's crushing down my shoulders, It's thrashing on my door, It's jabbing every muscle, And it's making sure I'm sore. It's taunting me with teases, It's screaming in my face, It's chiding every move I make, To put me in my place. It's tan…
Shut your eyes, And just don't look, Isn't that the way? It wasn't there, It didn't happen, We'll live another day. Close your lids, It's all a hoax, Ignorance is bliss... Don't you cry, And don't dare look, There's naught for you to mis…
Four of us towards the town, Our handsome brows creased to a frown. Searching for a meal for us, A quiet drink - no need for fuss. A drop of blood will quench our thirst, But we'll drink until we're full to burst. Princes of the darkest …
What's left when all is gone to ash? There's naught but fire and smog? When humanity will have to live, Whilst shrouded by the fog? Some day all will be like this, The world will live in grey, Fear will rule our hearts and minds, We'll rem…
I'm trying. I'm dying. I'm crying. You're keeping. I'm weeping. Hearts leaping. We're in sync. We can't blink. We can't think. We're caught here. Just you, Dear. The pain, sheer. Our lips touch, Our weak crutch, It's too much. I'm done…
It's camera lights, Flashing snaps, Constant smiles, No end to claps. It's pearl-white teeth, Rose-red lips, Silk-swathed skin, Draped round hips. Endless groans, Sweet-talk me, On my right side? Go match my fee. More, more cameras, Never s…
I'm falling like an avalanche, I'm drifting like a cloud, I'm singing loudly to the world, Apart from all the 'crowd'. I'm screaming, I'm not talking, I'm skipping, never walk, I say clichés backwards 'cause: I'm both 'cheese' and 'chalk'.…
I sit upon my throne of glass, Look across my land, The sea, the beaches, and the trees, The miles of stretching sand. My heart is filled with gratitude, And hope at all my wealth, And yet the darkness creeps so quick, Defiant in its steal…
Lashing down in torrents, Fierce in its rage, Waning at its edges, Harsh at every stage. Pouring down about us, Angry as it falls, Making hissing, snapping sounds, Animal-like calls. It's raining loudly all outside, It's pouring from the …
I won't go down so quiet, I'll scream and sing and shout, Let the world hear all my words, Just let me yell them out. I have a voice that's loud enough, A voice that must be heard, To quell me with your silent-ness, That simply is absurd. …
The day was loud with morning dew, The clouds alit the sky, A one-eyed magpie watch me walk, And watched me passing by. Not too warm yet not too cold, But a shiver wracked my bones, For seeing the one-eyed magpie there, Called trembles up …
The woods are calling me tonight, They're singing to me, soft, Voices latent on the air, Below, aside, aloft. The woods are calling me tonight, I don't quite understand, My feet move of their own accord, Doesn't matter where they land. Th…
Oh Lord, my iPod's shattered, The screen is lines of glass, It took one teeny tiny fall, Now it's a stinted mass. Tears are gathered in my eyes, Ridiculous? No way! This iPod's death has ruined me, Ruined my whole day. My baby's all frag…
When a smile is wiped away, And a frown is left instead. Those feelings cloud your mind, Would you be better dead? I can feel the bullet digging, It is lodged inside my throat. I can feel the wet of blood around me, Like a second coat. …
I sit above the forest, My ears are pricked, alert, I'm watching for the smallest change, A movement in the dirt. My coat of fur is shining, It's silver in the moon, Watch the stars watch over, The dawn will come, too soon. Below my pack …
It quickens and it slows, In opposite directions, It teases and it taunts, And it plays with my affections. When I want it fastest, It crawls so slowly by, And when I want to savour it, Oh, suddenly it flies! It doesn't have a care at all…
How to put it into words? The thing I love so much? How to make it something real? To convey it in a touch? How to show my brimming heart? In every word I say? How to tell you what I think? Show I love you every day? F a m i l y It's per…
It's the hardest thing to do. It makes me feels so weak. I say the words reluctantly. When I just don't wish to speak. It's something even you'll do. Yes, everyone does wrong. It can be a happy ending. Or a sadness, to prolong. I'm…
I'm screaming, loudly, But no one hears, I'm yelling harshly, But where're my peers? I'm moving quickly, Yet oh-so-slow, I'm sluggish, really, Nowhere to go. I'm sleeping soundly, Though I'm wide awake, My eyes don't know, What is at stak…
I really can't describe it. This that I feel. feeling It's not like all those other things, No, this one's much more... real. It's like a fire in my chest. ... A b …
Someone's hidden Summer, She's gone without a trace, Also Spring's gone AWOL, She hasn't shown her face... I'm thinking that it's Autumn, Always making trouble, And when he teams with Winter, Then we know the mischief's double! They've lo…
Feeling kind of blue, I see you on the bed, Mother and my sister, Lying head-to-head. Enjoying time and laughing, Smiles and grins alight, Inside my chest my heart constricts: It suddenly feels tight. I try to fit with all of them, I try …
A velvet sky above us, The clearest landscape drop, Swept like silk with rouchéd clouds, Which doesn't seem to stop. An artist ponders colours, But nothing quite comes close, When it comes to skies like this, One cannot be verbose. Throwi…
The crispest frost, And a morning dew, Enough to show, A season new. A larking's call, A film of mist, The weakest sun, Where cold has kissed. Footsteps deepened, On the ground, An autumn morning's What I've found.
Kill me now, But do it quick, All it takes, Is a trigger's click. I'll close my eyes, Await the shot, My blood runs cold, My flesh sears hot. And yet you stop, It doesn't come, My heart resumes, It's steady hum. Instead you turn, And wal…
I felt you following I kept on walking I felt your presence I kept on talking My insides on fire My heart was screaming My Wolf was pacing I must be dreaming Those sharp-ish tingles That beating song Had you known this All along? I'd f…
A cornucopia of bats across the sky, Their wings like moths' own as they fly, Sleek black skin like fleshy cloth, Again not unlike that of a moth, Calls and sonar only they root out, Obvious to them, as a human's shout, Mysterious as nig…
On the outside I stand strong, So trust me as I say, It's hard for me to write this post, But I'll admit these here today: I'M AFRAID of darkness, That overwhelming black, Sitting in my bed at night, I wait for its attack. I'M AFRAID of s…
Yellow leaves and autumn reds, Deep, dark green and holly-heads, Russet sunshine through the glade, This is how the fall is made: Sometimes rain, The lightest sheen, Patchy sunlight, In between. Always cold, Breath plumes of smoke, A warm…
Just one last kiss before I go? An embrace to say 'goodbye'? Another feel of skin on skin, Don't think 'what if you die...' A final tear to shed for me, I'll fight with you at heart, I'm dreading every milli-second, That we spend apart. A…
What have I ever done to you? To make you lie, so cruel? What have I ever done to you? To provoke this harshest duel? Why must you lie straight in my face? Why must you lie to me? Why must you lie straight in my face? Why contort what I …
Losing you was like losing my heart. Losing you simply tore me apart. Losing you was a knife in my side. Losing you? Something I can't abide. Losing you was a terror unknown. Losing you, I felt so, so alone. Losing you shattered all of my s…
Colours burning through the sky, It seems the air's on fire: Reds and blues and even greens, A gorgeous morning pyre. Blending in and blurring lines, A blurry haze of bright: Waking up to this, I know, It is no longer night. The birds, b…
A splash of inspiration, Can come in any guise, Here on Opuss, what we do, Is share life through our eyes. Our chosen form is poetry, Stories, facts, the 'word', A place where every single thought, Can be listened to, and heard. Descripti…
I waited hours just to see your face, For you to take me to a happy place, Instead you shook your head and left, I'd never felt so lost or bereft. A mother should be there when I need, To love, to cherish, to help, to feed, Instead you act…
He stands above the city, His wings unfurled and grand, His shoulders broad and head aloft, A sabre in his hand. A glinting chain mail armour, A shield, the dullest grey, He watches as the sun does rise, And greets another day. His helmet…
June unfurled her wings and paced across the floor space of her cell. It had been at least a day since they'd fed her - and she knew quite well that this wasn't one of those sick starvation tests. Pushing her dank hair from her forehead, he…
I t's strange, I guess, F eeling this good, E ven there's no reason, E arly mornings should. L ight, it's not... H ot, no way, A t least I'll see my P als today! P lease forgive me Y es I'm happy!
I'M SORRY IT'S SOPPY. A kiss with you's not just a kiss, A smile's not just a smile, Every look we do exchange, Then sates me for a while. Embraces aren't embraces, They're something so much more, Words with you aren't words at all, I fee…
Think I care? I don't. Think I'll give up? I won't. Think I'll fall? You'll see. Think I'm a fake? It's me. Think I'm a ghost? You're wrong. Think you're the boss? So long. Think I won't fight? I'm strong. Think you've got me? You're wro…
Return me to my dream place, Where we walk hand in hand, Barefoot, always smiling, Our tracks across the sand. The sky is always violet, And a peaceful sort of blue, The sun is always brilliant, The clouds are buoyant, too. The sea's a ch…
She lowered hair, As fine as gold, Her lips were pursed, Her eyes were bold. Her hair went on, It touched the floor, It didn't stop, It ran some more. For leagues her hair: Did shine and glow, She'd have to carry - it in tow. Bare, soft …
Joshua flickered between forms. Wolf. Human. Wolf. Human. Wolf. The whitecoats had given him a shot, and the shifting wouldn't stop. His energy was burning up, and he was trembling with exertion. 'I think it's time to give him the Q-shot, S…
Lips so wide and tangled hair, Face holds her unnerving stare, Tipped white fangs and darting tongue, So very old, yet she seems young. Gliding movements, stalking prey, Who will she choose for blood today? Smelling air: it's thick with li…
-uploaded it earlier but accidentally deleted it!- I smile grimly, looking at the whitecoats. Sometimes my time with them isn't fun. It isn't nice. It doesn't get my adrenaline rushing. They're starving me. I haven't eaten in so long... I …
Someone's calling me awake, Let me go, my sleep's at stake, Another day, to meet and greet, I'm quite alright, here in my sheet, The music's on, you won't sleep now, Don't you bet, I will somehow, Work and school and college time, But getti…
I knew, facing the demon before me, that it was my time to die. He might have been handsome at one point, but now he was a monster. There was nothing human in those eyes. Long, pale fangs glinted from beneath his curled lip. His parchment-w…
I always knew there was something wrong with me. I studied myself, in comparison to the endless flow of whitecoats, moving around me. Every moment, of every day, I saw differences in myself and the other humans. Except, I wasn't a 'human'. …
Mother holds me in her arms, I look at her with baby-charms, A loving smile upon her lips, To kiss my cheek, her neck then dips. A baby loves his mother dear, Her beauty so, so bright, Knowing that she's there for him, Be it day or night. …
Her hair was bright, His hair was dull, His lips were thin, Her lips were full. Her cheekbones? Sharp, His cheekbones? Gaunt, Her eyes would smile, His eyes would haunt. Their differences, Were there from go, It mattered not, Wouldn't you k…
Christian leaned back in the swing and smiled up at his mother, who continued to push him, her auburn hair flying with her carefree movements. 'Christian? Christian, can you hear me?' Christian was seven, and was holding his father's hand…
There was a growl within the forest, Such a hiss within those woods, And all the little girls in red, Did tighten up their hoods. There was a sigh among the rivers, A yawn along the breezes, And all the pigs did hide in stone, To hide from…
Oh to be a gladiator, Release me to the ring, Raise my sword, hear me roar, And I'll hear their blood sing. Let me cut a path for you, My sword can lead the way, I'll be fighting all the while, Tomorrow and today. Armour glinting precious…
I prowled the cage, snarling at any whitecoat who dared approach. Two tongues of saliva dripped from my upper fangs, adding, I'm sure, to my ferocious appearance. When they'd forced the Shift upon me, I'd refused to turn back. It was their …
I sat on the bed. And stared. At the wall. At the ceiling. At the floor. Behind me, my tail moved, twitching, thumping against the ground. I lifted a hand to my face and nibbled a fingernail. Bored. So, so, SO bored. My ears flickered, atop…
Those few hours were enough, Some freedom for a while, A dance or two, I laughed again, I even cracked a smile! And even when the clock struck twelve, My face still shone so bright, I knew I would return to dark, Yet I had seen the light! …
I cannot remember how I came to be here. I cannot remember a life before. Before this, before what I am now, before pain. But what is pain? I have heard them thinking, loudly: 'the pain'. I can hear their thoughts. Words like 'torture' …
I'm walking down a boulevard, A boulevard of choices, An every single step I take, I hear a thousand voices. Many paths with many routes, A choice could change my days, My brain's strung out, it's on the edge: So many different ways. I f…
It was cold - mercilessly cold - inside the tank. My bare flesh was spotted with goosebumps and my tail flickered and shook in the water. At the sides of my neck, my gills fluttered in a haphazard attempt at breathing regularly. I craved, n…
She wakes She stretches Her eyes Alight Morning Sun shines So, so bright! And yet The moon h a n g s In the sky As though It hates To say 'good bye'. She slips Her body From. The. Sheets. Her h…
I'd been shaking for so long, it no longer felt as though every breath was a trial. I had grown accustomed to the unnatural high-speed lope of my heartbeat. I no longer looked down, upon my skin, and shrunk away from the ivy-green lines twi…
For some it takes a life time, For some it's but a sigh, For others they must wait their years, And days as they crawl by. For some it happens sweetly, A kiss, embrace, a ring, Others wait a lifetime, yet: With still no sing to sing. For…
- I haven't written fiction in a while, forgive me my rustiness! - It was dark inside the facility. Neon lights blinked sharply overhead, yet somehow the place still exuded darkness. In the corner of the room, I huddled. Wings closed aroun…
Some called me Greed, Some called me Pain, Some look upon me as a stain. They ignore my Sight, They ignore my Thoughts, I'm just a 'Witch' who's in cohorts. Forget my Husband, I despair of Him, He's by my side: the outlook's grim. He was…
Flames: they lick across my skin, But harm me? No they can't. Fire, a tongue, leaps from my palms, But harm me? No it shan't. A blast of heat and I'm alive, Master of this fire. A shock of red, and orange-blue, But it's not my funeral py…
Crystal skin, As smooth as glass, Hair so thick, A wanton mass. Wanton eyes, Pursed, plump lips, Dang'rous curves, Swaying hips. Bite your lip, A little more, Until it bleeds, Until it's sore. And suddenly... She'll cling to you, She loo…
Sweat is beading on my brow, I wish that I would wake up now. I'm running from a violent thought, My rapid panting growing short. It's time to wake up, yet I can't, My body's telling me that it shan't. Tossing, moaning in my bed, Remind …
Lying on my death bed, Your face is all I see, The only thing worth living for, The only one I need. An arrow in my stomach, A pain like none before, My breath heaving in shallow gasps, Torture I have in store. Your face above mine dulls …
Ashes to ashes, Flames and lightning, Help me destroy: All that is frightening. Help me dismember, Nightmares and devils, Set fire to any dream, That maims or dishevels. Ashes to ashes, I'm the Night-Keeping Witch, Sewing dreams together…
A little touch of heartache, As I look up to the sky, Wishing I could let you go, Before we say goodbye. We knew we'd never last so long, But part of me now fades, Watching as you walk away, Across the forest glades. So much that I never …
Little Red Riding Hood sat on a tuffet, Oh no, that's not right, that's Little Miss Muffet... Little Red Snow White, I'll blow your house down! No wait, that's the Bad Wolf - wrong side of town! So Riding Rapunzel was stuck in a tower, An…
'Sit beside the Hatter!', they all happily said, 'Enjoy a fine tea! Of fine butter and bread!' They didn't tell me the fellow was so gosh-darn mad! And oh-very-crazy, not just a wee tad! So I moved and I sat by Sir Rabbit of White, Adjace…
Somehow I've inhaled you, You're there behind my eyes, I feel you running through my veins, Your murmurs to my cries. Somehow I've absorbed you, My bloodstream, in my heart, Everything I do now, Becomes part of your art. Somehow you're wi…
Close your eyes one final time, And take your final breath, I'll meet you on the other side, Now sink into your death. The faintest smile upon your lips, You know your time was good, And now you'll meet Death graciously, As all the dying s…
One more promise, One more lie, One 'hello', And one 'goodbye'. No 'I love you's, No 'I care's, No help offered, Just stops and stares. One less person, One less man, One less woman, A false 'I can'. No deceptions, Not one untruth, No mo…
Drop me like an atom bomb, Hurl me like a stone, Crush me like I'm underfoot, Hang me: I'm a phone. Slap me like I'm day dreaming, Hit me if you dare, Avoid me like I'm truly toxic, Ignore me? I don't care. Shoot me down with bullets, Kno…
The moon hung, languid, in the sky, The sun and dawn? A far-off cry. My muscles turned, contorted, strained, And suddenly, great strength I gained. Clenching, painful, breathing stopped, Every limb both creaked and popped. My hair and sk…
I speak the tongue of poetry, Of stories yet untold, A speech that I won't ever lose, I'll have until I'm old. I speak in rhyme and stanzas, I spread word through the tale, I understand the power of words: Hurricane-force or gale. My mout…
I lifted up my crooked wand, Held it over head, And in timbre, deepened voice, I clearly, loudly, said: 'This babe, I bless with beauty! This babe, I bless with charm! This babe, I bless with nervelessness! And never ending calm!' With th…
Can it be me? In that reflection? Staring with those eyes? Are those my lips? My hair, my face? Staring with surprise? Am I so pale? Yet dark with cold? Do I shake that much? Can that be me? A ghostly hand? That reaches out to touch? Ar…
Summer sun and memories, Sweet, sweet lips and daiquiris. Tan, warm skin and endless sand, Photographs, we're hand in hand. August heat and time goes by, Singing songs; in fields we lie. And suddenly the heat is gone, Remembering when th…
I looked down at my hands, Knew something was wrong, My blood had stopped its running, My heart had stopped its song. My veins were dark with violence, My breath just wasn't there, My bones felt weak with winter's cold, Trapped in a nightm…
She watched the dawn chase dusk away, Across the sky: a brand new day. With every beat her jaw grew tense, Her muscles clenching at their expense. Something stung, it wasn't right: Her waiting in the dead of night. She tapped her foot, t…
Place this apple in your hand, Take a bite, I swear it's nice, It's got that perfect mixture of: Some sugars and some spice! Take a juicy mouthful, Savour every taste, You'll want to eat so quickly, You'll devour it with haste! The reddes…
My body in a coffin, A coffin made of glass, You didn't know I'd see it all, I watched the hours pass. So, so cold, I waited, Just waited for your kiss, A kiss to return life to me: What anyone would miss. I waited but you didn't come, I …
Tarmac slowly tortured, Plumes of smoke and ash, Graffiti's even fading, Rain stings: lash by lash. Grey and black and dull brown, Silence, heavy, sits, Claustrophobic buildings crowd, Where any building fits. From in between the mist and…
Trapped inside this glass cage, With everybody staring, No one seems to truly care, How I'm really faring. Another day, another test, Just tell me: will it end? I'm a test-lab guinea pig, -Another Botox to contend?- They tell me I'm coura…
Look into the mirror, Tell me what you see. I'm looking in its glassy face, And all I see is me. See beyond the surface, Underneath the skin... I'm searching but it's useless, I'll take it on the chin. Look into the mirror, Look, but tr…
Slender lines of darkness, The city: a silent place, Shadows overtaking, A villain without a face. Creeping into corners, Surrounding every nook, Slanting like a kiss of death, Taunting every crook. Harsh and fierce blackness, The Shadows…
Cider, wine and grape juice. Champagne and fizz and beer. Relatives amassing hugs, Smiles filled with grace and tear. Down another drink and sigh, Watch the groom and bride, Wonder if you'll ever find- The happiness, which there resides. …
As a few of you kittens may know, I have been in France for a week or so - hence the whole not posting thing. But guess what? I AM BACK! I thought I'd tell you what happened to me on the way to my next destination today? So I was on the …
I've been cast under a spell, I've crawled out from under my shell. This little place of sun and heat, Has me tanning in my seat. Flowers string from every bough, Summer spirit with know-how. I don't want to come back home, My life was b…
Soaking in the sunshine, Living in a dream, Forgetting all my worries, Letting out my steam. Forty degrees at noontime, Brown skin all around, Peacefulness and joyous fun, A welcome, perfect sound. Parasols are waving, Palm trees serena…
Another year, Another year, Don't even celebrate. Another year, Another year, Left in this sorry state. Another year, Another year, I know you wish me dead. Another year, Another year, You've left nothing unsaid. Another year, Anot…
Up at six. Far too early. I am grumpy. I am surly. Morning buses. Morning planes. Morning taxis. Morning trains. Bad-mood Feather. Let me lie-in. Then, perhaps... I'll stop cryin'. Don't talk to me, I won't reply, The sun's not up, In…
Helmet down Visor shut It's time to go to war. Bloodshed, tears Army duels Is what we have in store. Time to go Fat lady sings Cries abreast the air. Comrades gaze Empty eyes Cold-blooded in their stares. This. Is. War.
Every mark upon my wrist, Shows where chains have cut, The chafing of an age-old rope, Wasting where we're put. No one there to hear our shrieks, A truly laboured past, The lies which keep us in our cells, Mutinies not meant to last. Left…
Off Again A-travelling To France this time A week! Hopefully I'll Opuss there Have The chance To speak! Tonight I'll stop at London Tomorrow on to France Trains and taxis Buses, euros Travelling's such a dance! Farewell! Au revoir! Mes …
Inside my chest is a cavity, There is no heart to beat, Just a scar, an unhealed wound, Without movement, life or heat. An empty chest without a heart, I feel no love or hate, To go alone without these things, I tell myself, is fate. Upon…
I cry tears of molten fire, Amber, gold and blue, Tears of yellow scorching heat, As fresh as morning dew. Imagine ash as teary-tracks, Imagine fire as tears, Imagine scalding skin when sad, That fire within those years. I cry tears of fi…
Today has been QUITE the day, Passed all my exams with a 'hip hooray!' In two of them? The highest marks, But in the others, I swam with sharks. Told you 'sorry', felt distraught, A disappointment to what you taught. We looked it up and wha…
With a Whizz! And a bang! And some Alekazams! This kitten can tell you... SHE PASSED HER EXAMS!
It's time to leave, To get my results, I don't want them anymore! The little letters, On the paper, Say what I've got in store! Four little letters, So much scare! I hope I do alright... So I'll see you cats, In a little while, I'm not g…
By day, I was a farmer's girl, Working on the land, By night, though, I was different, But they'd never understand... I soared the skies at night time, Astride my dragon's back, Every wing beat sounding like: A mighty, beastly 'thwack!' M…
NORMALITY BE DAMNED. I'm sorry for my hair, Mum, I know you are ashamed, I know there is a hint, in you, That thinks you should be blamed. Essentially it's blonde-ish, But in so many different ways, A spectrum of blonde colours, That may …
I stand outside in the pouring rain, Dancing till I'm soaked, The rain so heavy round my face, It looks like I am cloaked. Hair in tails down my head, And yet I do not care, My sister watching from the warmth, I'll let her watch and stare.…
Her lips are pale as distant stars, Her hair a pale green, Her eyes a crystal violet shade, The first I've ever seen. Her structure: slim but sturdy, Her arms awash with strength, Instead of legs a tail moves, A sleek and scaly length. In…
Defining summer: Sun, for me, The gentle hush, Of the racing sea... Collecting sea shells, Washing hair- It's filled with sea salt: A nightmare! Warm sun shine, Orange and bright, Shadows rare, Until the night. Humid, perfect, Bared feet, n…
Not so 'beauty', Not so 'beast', Nothing for your eyes to feast. No grand mirror, To feed you praise, To taunt you with its wicked ways. No stepmother, Evil witch, To tear you apart by seam and stitch. No long nose, Showcasing lies, Ever…
If you and I were zombies, I'd let you eat me first. If you were a scary vampire, I'd let you quench your thirst. If I were tied to a train track, I'd let you run me through. If you were a crazy werewolf, I'd let you change me new. If y…
Just a few more days... Two to be exact, Until what was a distant thought, Becomes a solid fact. I'll wake up just as normal, Brush my teeth and dress, But then I will remember; And be tackled by the stress. Stressing over every one, All …
A sea of faces, In an empty room, A paradox, Seems to loom, A whisper's sigh, In a still, still night, A larking's call, As it becomes light, The seasons change, Yet stay the same, It all made sense, Until you came, You came and changed, Wh…
A ring of foxgloves on the ground, A sharp and light musical sound. Echoing laughter, enticing noise, Elegant bodies, erect with poise. 'Come and join us!' - they all tempt, With hair of leaves, they look unkempt. As if they've been ther…
There's something that I NEED. I CRAVE it every night, Imagining its salty taste, Anticipation of the fight... ADDICTED and left wanting, Nobody understands... What this substance does to me, It makes such harsh demands. B l o o d …
Another day of different trains, Of landscapes rushing by, In and out of train stations, Cities, buildings - fly. From blue skies to a dismal grey, From grey back round to blue, Another stop, another start: Off to somewhere new.
In my dreams I ride a dragon, Conquerors of the skies, I sit astride his saddle, Melded as he flies. In my dreams I sport full armour, With a broad sword at my hip, I know the contours of my blade, Know every turn and dip. In my dreams I…
The water lapped so violently, Crashing against my head, I realised this was the time: Minutes on I would be dead. I listened to the final sounds: The echoes of the sea, And deep inside my heaving breast, I'd never felt so free. My head b…
He winds around my outstretched legs, A saunter to his stride, Tail a-twitching in the air, With typical cat pride. Whiskey has been missing hours, We've called and yelled outside, And when we told my younger cousin, That he was gone - he …
Mummy said she loved me, And she hugged me all the time, She'd tuck me into bed at night, With a song or book or rhyme. But then one day she left me, All alone with drunken dad, And when I said that mum had gone, And dad got really mad. A…
A million stars in a starstruck sky, There's one for me and you, When you die you join those stars, And become a star anew. The brightest or the biggest, A small one or a group, Orion's Belt or Milky Way, Part of a loop-the-loop. Will yo…
P ower in its own right, R ight and wrong the same, I don't give a single care, D on't give my pride a name. E specially if I'm wrong.
It's a pity when you wake up, After such a good night out, And every single whisper, Feels like a malicious shout. When your phone is ringing non-stop, And you just can't shut it up, And the texts are all the same: 'Hey hun, you k? Alrite?…
I've lived life to its fullest, I'm not afraid to die, And when my time approaches, I know I will not cry. I'll greet Death as an old friend, We'll link hands and we'll go, We'll pay the undead ferryman, And sit back for him to row. For D…
I was walking through the forest, And the night was dark as dark, Of the moon and stars that night, I saw no shine or spark. When suddenly I paused a beat, There was something bad afoot, I found myself surrounded by, Six wolves as black as…
Watching out the window, The train drives slowly on, Landscapes always coming, And just as quickly gone. Another day another train, The summer speeds on by, Moving round the countryside, Underneath the sky. Fresh green grass and flowers,…
Puts up with me when I am sad. Puts up with me when I get mad. Puts up with me if I feel blue. Keeps me together like parental glue. Puts up with all my highs and lows. Puts up with all my teenage woes. Puts up with how I'll laugh or cry…
Calmly moving through the streets, She watches with hawk-eyes. Picking out the trouble-makers, Unwinding all the lies. Graceful in her movements, Like something so surreal. Eyes that don't miss anything, And jaw as taut as steel. Cape tha…
From downstairs in the garage, The drums start up a beat... My brother's started drumming, I can feel it in my feet. As if I am possessed, I rise up to the floor, Move across the bedroom, Quietly shut the door. Still the rhythm pumps on…
Lonely, lonely, all alone, For centuries on end, Watched the world move in and out, Of every single trend. I've watched the sun and moon meet, I've watched the ice floes melt. I've watched the monarchy exchange, Oh, what I have felt. I'…
Hold my hand, And I'll hold yours, Skin by skin, Trace your contours. Cheek to cheek, And palm to palm, Chest to chest, Just keep me calm. Eye to eye, And nose to nose, Feet are flush: Our toes to toes. Fingers linked, And legs entwined,…
You're a thorn in my side, Yet I don't let you go. You're so damned annoying, Like there's something you know. You're smirking and teasing, Grin on your face. You're eyes narrowed harshly, Contemplating your place. A needle at my fing…
Summer heat on bared, warm skin, Sun tan lotion, rubbed on thin, Harlot-red: my lipstick shade, Bright martini, ready made. Canary-yellow small bikini, Lying down where you can see me, Aviators over eyes, Hair tied back with three hair tie…
Living on 'da edge', Bored of purple hair, So I thought if dye it turquoise, Give my mum a scare. It's turned the brightest colour, I've ever had so far... I admit it's scary... I've raised the dying bar! Turquoise, turquoise, turquoise. …
I lie here on the battlefield, An arrow in my side, Regretting all the things I've said, Regretting how I've lied. It's funny how the final things, I ever said to you... Were all so spiteful and untrue, I really wish you knew. You said n…
E ven though I've slept, X -cept for after morn, H eavy limbs and pale face, A lways leaves me torn. U nderstand my tiredness, S o let me back asleep... T o go into oblivion, I s how I want to keep. O n and on the tiredness... N …
You came inside and stunk of HER, Perfume-laden, with a lusty purr, Acting sweet as if you're good, Doing what a HUSBAND should... I went along with narrowed eyes, Tried not to imagine your passionate cries, But the next day it was the same…
Opuss is freedom, Opuss is words, Opuss is happiness, Where I am heard. Opuss is literate, Opuss is good, Opuss has everything... That an app should. Opuss? A paw print. Opuss? Meow! Opuss, I applaud you... Now go take a bow!
Sign your name along the dots, We need it here and here. You see that small print at the end? That's to make it clear. Tick a box from A to D, A freer choice there's not, Don't bother reading all that text, Just give the line a shot. Number…
Sugar and spice? Everything nice? I'm not that sort of girl... Woodlice and snails? Puppydog tails? Come on, let's give it a whirl... I'm more exotic, Not quite erotic, But made of something new... Add some paprika, Nothing is weaker, An…
One by one the lights blinked off, And everybody screamed. And in the dark they realised, That this is what they'd dreamed. A dark, dark world, no end in sight, Void of energy. Had they listened, years ago, From this they might be free.…
A glassy cage Within my head To trap away my thoughts Something's wrong I feel quite strange The ghosts are in cohorts A wisp of smoke A brush of air They taunt me with their touch Transparent things Yet touchable For me, it is too muc…
Windows of the soul, Eyes as black as coal. Dripping daemon gore, You hiss a little more. Looming shadows grey, Horns every-damn-which-way. Dwelling in the black, Just waiting to attack. A hint of jealousy, As you glare at me. The g…
Okay. I like smiles, as I hope we've established. Hence the setting of the #OpussSmiles challenge. I would like to congratulate everybody who tagged me, I am VERY grateful. It was a hard choice, indeed. Kudos to the runners up: 3) @s…
I'm running through the seasons, Summer, Winter, Spring, Shortly flit through Autumn, Such change the seasons bring. Autumn tastes of apples: Soft thud, they hit the ground, Leaves a russet-orange hue, They fall without a sound. Skipping …
Hold me tight in your embrace, Don't let go: it's not a race. Take my worries, they're too much, Relieve my shoulders with your touch. Skin to skin, material, Our moulding bodies, ethereal. Such chaste action from we two, One hug refresh…
L ove is the food- O f the heart, V erily ready, not- E asy to part.
Opuss needs smiles! I propose a challenge! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to produce a poem revolving about... Your favourite person's SMILE. I hope to see many wonderful entries, and knowing this lovely community as I…
They say you live once, But not for a cat! Nine-fold our lives, So give us a pat! We'll purr and meow, And live in content, Snoozing on laundry, When energy's spent, Buy us and love us, Except we're not cheap, But we're well worth it, Plent…
Looking at your scrunched-up face, At how you wriggle in your place, The strangest noises that you make, Pain-staking time to feed you takes, Your tiny nails dotting your hands, The 'words' you think we'll understand, The laughing at …
It's all about Olympics. All about the sport. From every set of heavy weights, To every tennis court. A happy sense of union, Britain joined in this, Every medal, gold to bronze, Is treated as a kiss. Watching on the telly, Screaming at t…
All the world's my stage, My theatre: the sky, Director may say 'Leap', And I reply, 'How high?' People are my audience, The sun and moon, my lights, An every-day sort-of actor, Without the mask and tights. My props? They're all around me…
To think someone's out there, Who's perfect for me, That one day I'll meet him, But when will that be? I could have met him, A glance on a train, A pass in a street way, Yet continue the same... A brief clash of retinas, A short, polite s…
The tides sing a song, As soft as the sky, The pull of the waves, And the clouds way up high. The foam of the surf, Like horses of sea, The salt on the air, Nature's timely decree. The soft r u s h …
No matter all the sights I've seen, No matter all the sun, No matter all the summer smiles, No matter all the fun... HOME IS WHERE MY HEART IS, IT'S HERE THAT I BELONG, SUMMER IS A WELCOMED CHANGE, BUT HOME HAS MY HEART'S SONG. I've been …
This was once a country, Yet now it's just a shell, Humanity has broken, Now not unlike hell. What happens when there's nothing? Just ash and smog, no air? I remember green and blue, When countryside was fair. One day perhaps a healing, N…
Sitting on my cobweb, Predator at ease, Hanging from the ceiling, The climbing frame or trees. Spindle-legged and delicate, Deadly grace; I'm sleek. Pretence of tiny insect, I'm anything but meek. Preying on the unsuspecting, Leaping into…
There was a girl with hair of gold, And skin as pale as milk, Her hair was as a waterfall, Her flesh as soft as silk. This girl was fine as any maid, Yet something made her new, Within her scarlet, kissing lips, Two fangs did peek on throu…
I like ketchup, Cause it's yummy, I like ketchup, In my tummy. That's all.
Must we continue meeting? When love is cast in lies? Must we continue visiting? 'Till one of we two dies? A passion yet unrivalled, Worlds entwined, just so... And honestly, a death by love: Would be a way to go. I'll treasure every brea…
Because she's my little sister, I'd hide her from the bad. Because she's my little sister, I'd make sure she's not sad. Because she's my little sister, I'd take the bullet, fast. Because she's my little sister, I know the row won't last. Be…
She chased the evening sunlight, Amidst the clouds and blue, She watched the gold rays fading, With her face, a face of rue. Her own light shone so differently, A silver to the red. And she rose as the sun lay down, She put the sun to bed.…
Sometimes I feel isolated, I'm so on my own. The world is moving quickly, swift. Yet I am all alone. Everybody's on fast forward, So in tune, in sync. And I just stand amidst it all, I don't know what to think. Life's a blur of coloured m…
Haunted by a past that I never will relive, Time is running through my hands, as empty as a sieve. So much more I need to say, so much more to do... Reliant on time's ministrations, holding me like glue. Stuck in time like quicksand, I ca…
Tired kitten, Sleepy kitten, Wants to go to sleep. Yawning kitten, Snoozy kitten, Tonight, you'll hear no peep. Happy kitten, Purring kitten, Content in hotel bed. Full-up kitten, Purr-fect kitten, Not thirsty and well-fed. Little kitten, …
I don't know where I come from, I don't know where I'll go. I don't know when the sun will come, When the winds lunge to and fro. I don't know how to tell your tale, I truly wish I could. I don't know how to trust your voice, Don't know …
Gently goes the sea here, A whisper on the shore, Angry are the seagulls, Settling thorn their score. Windmills softly turning, Hillsides green and grey, Clouds are overcasting shadows, Against the summer's day. Magic yet so human, A pla…
Clouded windows, Vertigo! We lift into the sky. Slowly climbing further, Reaching the Highest of the …
Hotel sheets, The crispest white, Open rooms, A brilliant bright. See the white, Made for ruin, I'd do it if, It wasn't for suing. Spotless walls, And spotless beds, Colour scape? In blues and reds. Key cards in, Usually lost... Open spa…
I'm going on a holiday, Be back on Thursday eve, There'd better be some wifi there, I really hate to leave... But just in case there's isn't some, I'll bid you all farewell, I'll miss all of you kitty cats, I hope you all stay well. I do …
G'day Diary. I know I rant and rave about this every time I write an entry... But why did I get stuck with crappy GORILLA BOY? Even JJ got fracking 'Plant Powers'. Cool mojo. What do I get? THE ABILITY TO TURN INTO A FRACKING GORILLA. WHO …
A little bit of sugar, And a little bit of blood, I'm going to make this cake rise, Like every nice treat should! A little bit of chocolate, Add a bit of shaven vein, Make the mixture crimson, Like a bloody, scarlet stain! Humming in the …
What makes me, me? 1: MORNINGS I wake up every morning, Turn on my bedside light, Just to keep my eyelids up, It takes an immense fight. 2: HAIR HABITS Start the day in a pigtail, By noon it's round my face, I like it down to hide away,…
Fingers dancing down the spines: A game of pick and choose. In a library, such as mine, It's not a game to lose. Red, then blue, then ivory, A colour scheme of spines, Some an individual, Some in series' lines. A group of guilty romances,…
She browses on the Internet, To find a little more, For when she looks upon her name, The subject's rather sore. She's never really liked her name, Not catchy, cute or cool... It's not a very popular one, Never had the chance to rule. She…
Four hundred posts I've met today, It seems the time has flown away. A busy pen and parchment spoiled, Inside my head where words have roiled. Four hundred posts, I can't think back, To my first one, I gave it a crack. Or my fourth, twen…
Rapunzel sat atop her tower, Gazing, watching, by the hour. Her hair, so golden, finely spun, And eyes so clear: a prize to be won. She'd been waiting, years on end, With naught but a garden she could tend. And so Rapunzel stamped her foot…
Three witches stand around the fire, Their ugliness is oh-so dire. One with hair fashioned from cat, Eyes intact and tail: cravat. One with eyeless pits of grey, Filled with mould and rank decay. The last with skin cobwebbed with ash, An…
Stalking through the blackness, Seeking out the night, Panther-like in gracefulness, Body pulled in tight. Glowing eyes of cat-green, Smirking at the dawn, Pathetic rays of dying sun: It seems so damned forlorn. A penny for your thoughts,…
Drink, glorious drink; Means I do not think; What no inhibitions? No need to make decisions. Bipolar drunk, that's me; Happy as can be! Then sad for just a second, Then happy, so it's reckoned. End up with some issues, Run-mascara - tissu…
My mood is of the deepest red. Remembering those words you said. They echo, crimson, 'round my head. An ugliness that's not yet dead.
Oh, our 'teenage years', The best years of our lives, Snatched away so quickly, When adulthood arrives. Transformation quickly: From child, to teen, to grown; Sometimes leaves you thinking: You've never felt more alone. No one understands…
B eauty, worth a thousand: E very ship would sail; A face to 'sail' 1000 ships, U nderneath, you quail. T ruly, it's a perfect face, I only want a glance, F or you I'd chase the clouds, my dear, U nless you'd care to dance? L ook beyond th…
For a moment this world seems perfect, As you kiss me on the cheek. We share a second, knowing, That we do not need to speak. And then you go and ruin it, You leave my room, so fast. Leave me to naivety- It wasn't meant to last. I turn fr…
A photograph is all I have, To remember you. I remember when we bought you, Fragile and brand new. You stuck your nose outside your box, Curious from the start. And with a face like that, You surely won my heart. The cutest little bunny…
When all is dark, It's midnight. Everyone's asleep. The school across the road from me, Makes a giant leap. From every shady crevice, From nook To corner Dark, Come crawling EVIL TEACHERS, Their evil written stark. …
I met a girl With ringlets, And eyes: As blue as fire. She smiled, She held a hand out. With a courage I admire. She led me …
Inside, we move as clockwork. We know each other's ways. We could move as one, like this, For minutes, hours, days. We gravitate together, Like cogs inside a clock, Our conversation blurring to, A ticking and a tock. And as the hours str…
A little wooden ragdoll: Her fingers made of pegs, With worn-out grooves and lines of use, From her rope-hair to her legs. Rejected by the other toys, Her fingers hard to use; With clumsiness and buttered hands, Her face is just a ruse. L…
Looking through the market, Searching for a friend, There's no specific limit, To what I'm willing to spend. I don't care what they look like, I don't care he or she, I just want to buy I friend, please, Who'll be there for me. The market…
The vampire watched the shadows lengthen and dart across the room. He knew the dawn was coming and could see the sun's rays loom. A thousand years of darkness was a thousand years too much. He longed to feel the warmth and heat: the sun'…
Circling in a midnight sky, In arching movements crows do fly, Screeching, soaring: ugly sound, Then plummet, dive towards the ground. An angry swarm like angry bees, Hurtling in and out of trees, Bullets of feathers and glinting eyes, Mak…
A kitten's eyes are drooping, She's been so tired all day, Although she's on her holidays, Things haven't gone her way. She's tired and slightly sickly, Her face as pale as chalk, And at the sight and smell of food, Her whole demeanour balk…
I have an empty mind, A cavern with no thought, Yet echoes of once-memories, Still resonate, uncaught.
It's time to put the knife away, It's time to live another day. It's time for me to recognise, That this knife holds a thousand lies. It's time for me to sheath its blade, A knife in hand, a knife obeyed. It's time for us to start the dance…
I have a heart that's made of stone, It's not a fragile thing. Once upon a time it was whole, It's stone from too much breaking. It plush red surface, hardened, Its once-soft beating: still, And now that it is made of stone, It won't chang…
As it draws close to midnight, I wake up, stretch and yawn, My limbs are cracking noisily, As if my bones are torn. As the moon comes centre, The bats arc round the sky, I stretch my blackened worn wings, Prepare myself to fly. As the nig…
Sometimes I like clubbing! The music, pumping, beat. Tonight, though, I'll get dolled up- To go out with girls and eat. Slipping on my sky-high heels, A little spark of fun, Curling my unruly hair, And so the night's begun. A thigh-high s…
I spent years crafting a character, To fit the plot line I wrote, I spent hours on end in paper, Taking every detail to note. I filled days with character profiles, And months confined to my chair, My story was destined for greatness: I ju…
She's only eight short months old, I've had her just that long, And that she's already suffering, It seems unfair and wrong. Yes, she's not in pain, or hurt, But it is so frustrating: She has a purple to her eye, That will never be abating…
Every time I'm beaten, I'm bruised, we've broken ties; I cannot bear sunny days, Or cerulean clear blue skies. Every time I need it, I'm sore, I'm hurt, we're done; It's there to always greet me, It knows it's where I'll run. If you're ou…
The cry for blood and war rand out, They called for men so strong. I knew my father's leg was weak, To make him fight was wrong. I cut my hair and trained with sword, I became a boy at heart, I learned to shoot with crossbow bolts, My figh…
The sun was slowly rising, As a new day graced the air, Opussia was radiant, With tender loving care. The kittens started stretching, Awakening the day, Smiling as the sun decided, It would like to stay. Birds bright of every colour, Made…
I'm bulletproof, I'm hard to hurt, I'm thick skinned, And I'm tough. Takes more than words, Takes more than taunts, To hurt me when it's rough. I'm bulletproof, I'm armoured, I'm street-wise, Not a threat. Takes more than yells, Or teasi…
Mother had said, that very morning, 'Lily! Don't go outside today! I can feel it on the air! Something is going to happen!' Being the teenager I was - pixie or not - it was in my bones to rebel. So I clenched my teeth and continued outside.…
I could live in a house of gold, It could be young or it could be old. I could live in a crumbling wreck, With a holey roof and a rotting deck. I could live in an endless pit, With nowhere to lie and nowhere to sit. I could live in a hou…
Jumping over bike sheds, Careening through the halls, Launching off of rooftops, Then hopping over walls... Sprinting around landscapes, Air whipping through my hair, Dodging trees and branches, As if they are not there... Hurtling through …
I stand out in the lightning, Let it strike me - it's a rush, There's nothing else quite like this- To give this extra push. The bolt strikes skin with fervour, It courses through my veins, Traveling along my flesh, In sparking, fiery lan…
@leelee101 #Household There once was a cat who drank tea, She drank till she needed to wee, Her favourite was chai, Tea leaves didn't lie, She knew tea was a mystery.
'No man is an island', Yet I am not a man, I struggle every single day, As only humans can. 'No man is an island', I'll believe it when it's true, I never see an 'island', When I look at you. 'No man is an island', So many lucky tales, Yo…
I live in a land of letters, I live with the written word, I live where dreams are all transcribed, I live with the absurd. I live in a land of poetry, I live in a land of prose, I live in a world where writing shows- What everybody knows.…
Placed in cupboards, And ignored, Let out for hours, Then I'm stored. Left in dust motes, I'll sit alone, Wait till some light, I am shown. Then I'm played, There's no more pain, Until I'm over, And stored again.
#Household @naaviie Everyone ignores me, I'm a pissed off little guy, No one ever hears my plea, No one hears my cry. Just taken for granted, Another household tool, Just a tiny lightbulb, Stuck where the 'big boys' rule. The windows ge…
They were all awesome sauce, kittens, you should all be super proud of yourselves! I am awarding third place to @Nom : 'Glint' was beautiful. Second place, I award to @brownowl2012 for 'Wire Angel' because it strikes a personal and wonde…

Merci to @ckahn for selecting my piece as the #Household winner! OKAY. Sooooo. *Umms and aahhs* ... My next challenge - should you choose to accept it - is... An ornament or a trinket. Perhaps you've got it on holiday? Or your gran…
A poem based upon the 9/11 bombings. I'm standing on the top floor, The other floors are gone, Of survivors in this tower, I'm the only one. I know that I will die here, So quickly 'fore I go, I need to call my family- I just want them to…
But Mum! The bed is warm! But Mum! I need to sleep! But Mum! If I stay here- Then the warmth will have to keep! But Mum! It's life or death! But Mum! It means a lot! But Mum! If I stay here, then- I'll stay cosy: nice and hot! But Mum! Ou…
When Mummy yelled, And Daddy cursed, I'd hide under my sheets. I'd lay out my teddy bears, And give them pillow-seats. When Mummy screamed, And Daddy cried, My sheets became my fort. I'd slip under without a sound, I'd try not to be caught…
I can be a girly girl! I'm a princess in my head! I can prance about the place, Ignite romance where it's dead! Or... I can be ninja girl! I'm a ninja deep inside! Leaping, twisting, churning, fly, At least I'll say I tried! Or... I can…
#Household - cutting it fine! I live in a tower atop a hill, Where the landscape changes: it's never still. And if I look out on a summer's day, Who's to say the day won't be dull and grey? My windows: bewitched, and I see from my tower;…
My heartbeat POUNDS, I hear it clear, Within my head and soul. I'm crouched right down, My breath is short, It's this that makes me WHOLE. For this I've trained, I've laboured, toiled- Something to be proud. Along the sides, Of the sta…
Off to do the Race For Life, Be back when I am done... I must just remind myself, Of the cause for which I run!
A little slice of heaven, I'll keep you at arms' reach, For every story has a moral, A lesson it must teach. I've read a thousand books and more, And many tell it true: Love can be so hopeless now, I must take care with you. I will not b…
His fingers made of icicles, His face an icy floe, His nose a plane of crystal glass, On which no smiles show. His chest fashioned from flakes of snow, His eyes, dark flints of steel, His legs so long and dexterous, With nothing to revea…
The girl woke to nothing. An immense whiteness; the stench of foul disinfectant. Scientific smells. Clean smells. Scientific. With shaking fingers, she raised her hands to her face. Pale, she was. Pale and fluttering with lack of stamina…
We begin our lives in a cardboard box, Tucked in the living room. A whole new home to call our own, A warm and cosy cocoon. Mum says in the box we stay, For kittens we are young. Then she grasps our furry ruffs, And washes us with her ton…
Maybe I will cry for days, Or maybe I'll move on. Maybe I will weep and wail, Or act like you're not gone. Maybe I shall think of it, Or maybe I'll forget. Maybe I will rub old wounds, Or maybe let it set. Maybe I will sing laments, Maybe…
What a week. I'm glad it's done. The weekend's here... Time for some fun? Not for me, I'm running the race, Not aiming for first, Or one hundredth place. The Race For Life, On Sunday morn', And off I'll run, At the sound of the horn. …
In my mind I'm living in this truly special place, Escaping to my thoughts where I don't have to show my face. A place where I can craft my own and live among my thoughts, Where I and peace can court as one not live in bad cohorts. In my…
Come sit by the river, Lay your hand in mine, We'll chase the dawn together, That's how lovers pass time. Watch the quiet ripples, And the silence of the night, Our mouths are 'O's of wonder, As we see the geese take flight. Come sit and …
You love me, You leave me, You make me feel used. You taunt me, You heat me, You make me abused. You tease me, You teach me, You give me your heart. You have me, You hold me, To death do us part.
When you want to shout your anger, Too scared for face-to-face, When you're sick of putting up with her, Want to put her in her place. When tears are running down your cheeks, Ice cream and a cry, Want nothing more than to curl up, And bid…
In the deepest darkest corners, Of my mostly bright blue mind, There's something fascinating, And horrendous you can find. My own brown, creaking closet, With my secrets dark and foul, Full of secret keepers, With hooded eyes and cowl. My…
Yes, I am impulsive, I'm dauntless, that's a fact. Me and 'edgy', we're a pair, Me and 'danger' have a pact. Okay, maybe it's not bad, In fact it's something cool: It's only Mum and Dad who think, That I look like a fool. I HAVE PURPLE…
I set the challenge of 'poster'... Everyone's was immense. Choosing it was tense. I wanted to stay on the fence. In third place: @ckahn with 'Favourite Poster.' In second place: @leelee101 with 'poster'. AND IN FIRST PLACE: @VikingH…
I can feel it in my fingers, In my toes and in my soul, A little piece of heaven, When I feel it makes me whole. B listering and shocking, E ating out my heart, A ttacking my insides, T unes like an upstart. Dancing makes me smile, Anothe…
#Household - favourite poster. Oh, my favourite poster, Is not one but them all: For what I have done, myself, Is collaged up my wall. Beginning in the corners, From middle to the edge, Stretching over wallpaper, Up to the window ledge. …
Lost my Internet again. Moaned and whined. Got it all sorted. Yet now I don't mind. Because I won the Household. I'll say it again. I won it, ecstatic. No more Internet-pain. THANK YOU. Now, folks. Your challenge, should you choose t…
-I had this saved, unsure if I've posted it before, but I'm proud of this one.- The day was mist and cloud banks, You came to me and cried, You told me you were sorry, and- You never should have died. Thunder cracked with lightning, Ther…
I want to take a trip back, And remember my first day, When I sat before this new app, With nothing good to say. A little paw print winked at me, A smile grew on my face, Little did I know I'd found- My newest, favourite place. At first…
Say that I'm INHUMAN. Then watch me as I bleed. Say I am RESTRICTED. Then gloat as I am freed. Say I have no HEART left. Then stab me in the chest. Say nobody LOVES me. Then lay me where I'll rest. Say I'm like a DISEASE. And wip…
#Household @Burrfoot This carpet's worn, This carpet's torn, This carpet's full of heart. It's watched us grow, As children show, A life it's been a part. Rugged carpet, Lovely carpet, Full of life and soul. Of our house, Despite the l…
Sing a song of sadness, A cry of sorrow strong, Sing a song of grey and black: You knew it all along. Sing a song of solace, There's nothing you can do, Sing a song of guiltiness, It's all because of you. Then sing a song of happy, Not ev…
My heart is finely splintered, I'm breathing shallow breaths, Every step you take from me, I die a thousand deaths. You silhouette is fading, I'm just another face, Sunlight breaks my dead facade, Without you I've no place. Your footsteps…
The world was dead and empty, All life was dead and gone, A lifeless husk, once was a home, So much had gone so wrong. Viral human contact, The readings of a war, So many things just overlooked, Defying every law. A heartless, heatless wo…
Isn't it madness? We live in an age... Where technology surrounds us, As an every-day cage. I Skype in the morning, To say hello to my mum, When she's only downstairs, A few steps and then some. And I text my brother, When I want some tea…
*This poem is dedicated to anyone who has ever been made to feel like they are nothing. I know how it feels, unfortunately.* I tried to be the best I could, And when I failed: 'I knew you would'. You'd taunt and tease and push me down, And…
I think that I am better, As a Princess, not a Queen. It's not that I'm not happy, Or ungrateful or just mean. Ecstatic that I was truly first, I danced and yelled with glee, So happy I was singing, And everyone looked at me. Overreacted…
#Household @Clairabethy I'll stare down my coffee mug, And contemplate myself. Then when the mug is empty, It goes back on its shelf. I do so love my hot drinks, Thank Lordy for my mug. Drowning all my sorrows, With every soulful glug…
One moment I'm a wolf, The next I am a man, Cracking bones and changing skin, As fast as I possibly can. One moment in the forest, Taking in the trees, The next I'm on the ground, Writhing on my knees. One moment I am solid, The next I'm …
I'm the boy you walked right past, I'm sitting on the street. Staring dully, eyes cast downwards, Towards my mucky feet. Had no food, and had no drink- It's not like you would care. I sat right here, glanced up at you, You didn't realise…
In a world so full of vampires, We humans have no say. Highly sought out for our blood, We all must hide away. They came, they fought, they conquered all, And now we humans starve, In a world where only blood is needed, What place can hum…
Checking my chest, Around my left breast, A swear there's a new lump there. Stand by bedside, Eyes open too wide, Skin being tickled by hair. Is it a cyst? Have I been kissed? Loved by an unwanted thing? Something's not right, My heart…
@suzzeeq #household Loathe to leave you in the morning, Spend my hours yearning, yawning. Hoping, praying for the night, When I can lie and turn out the light. To sleep within your silky sheets, You're the comfiest of seats. I'll read…
Going once, Going twice, Maybe even... Going thrice? Young girl's life, Blonde of hair, Wildly fashioned, Everywhere. Hazel eyes, Pursed pink lips, Slim enough, Yet still has hips. Often cries, 'Bout anything, Likes to dance, And badly …
Looking for a new job? Full time, not ever part? Willing to give your utmost all, Put into it your heart? Impressive-looking résumé? I'll have to check it out, I'm looking for a worker, Whose loyalty's devout. High maintenance in essence,…
WHEN I ACT I become somebody new, A change that is deep and felt all the way through. WHEN I ACT it's a buzz that resonates along, It is so, so right, that it feels so wrong. WHEN I ACT I'm not me, and I just don't exist, I'm a character…
#Household @sjw I'm the household item, That you always overlook, Hidden in the corners, Concealing every nook. Often moths have eaten me, Often I'm just there, Hide behind me, hide-and-seek, To give your friends a scare. I feel like I a…
Tidings from little Feather's world, Her kittens have survived what the weather's hurled! The rain it screamed and drenched the night! But the kittens revolted with all their might! Some were flooded but got their help, Refused to cave wi…
Feather-light, Shades of grey, When they appear, I've naught to say. Waifs so thin, Morose and sad, And when they're gone, I feel so glad. Wisps of white, Drifting round, Silent movement, They make no sound. Ignoring them, Is such a feat…
In Feather's domain, The rain was a fright, It was drenching the streets, Not a dry patch in sight! Rivers down roads, And torrents of wet, All in the 'summer', As bad as it gets? Feather was sad, For the rain was torrential, She'd tried to…
Walking in the woods tonight, It's scary and it's black. Creaking noises, groaning trees, Something could attack. Walking round the faery rings, Swaying to the sound- A beat inside the scary woods, A secret to be found. It's witching…
A heart's still a heart if it's made of glass, To break it in half - the pain won't pass. Tears of glass down a sculptured face, A splintering loss you cannot just replace. Shards cut so sweetly made with your love, Broken so quickly, wi…
Spiderweb of deceit, Another lie with every beat, Those so-called friends you thought you had, Nothing but a lie to add. Maybe shadows of the truth, O' these lies can be uncouth, Pretence, betrayal all to hide, Nothing innocent left inside…
I'd like to write a poem, A subject I should breach: Another Opuss user, And a lesson she does teach. I'm proud of her, my sister, As soppy as may be, But she's a talent in my life, I'm happy to always see. Intelligent and beautiful, Cle…
-Ohana means 'family' in Hawaiian- To me, Opuss is family. A family that's mine. A family I've come to love, To cherish; so divine. A people that I care for, An app I tend to grace, With words afar so beautiful, Which make my big heart …

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, Snow White's the fairest of them all? Well that's not fair, it's just not right. Have you seen her in bed at night? With trussed up hair and spotty face, And sleeplines all about the place? Or in the morning,…
Some people have their blue days... Well, mine are grey and yellow. Some people have their red days... Well I'll stay white with mellow. Some people have their green days... Well I'll just wait and see. I'm of the opinion that 'some p…

I can't believe it's happened, I can't believe I'm here, To hear this court of kittens, To hear their mighty cheer. To sit atop a throne of words, To look upon with pride, Decisions at my fingertips: So much I can describe.
Today I woke this morning, And something wasn't right, I couldn't put my finger on it, I tried with all my might. My feed was full as normal, Of works I love to read, I quickly flicked right through them, And got right up to speed. And …
Because this is how it started, And thus shall it so end, A song of justice sung to us, Another play shall pend. 'Love's Labours Lost' is not enough, Oh no there shall be more, I shall but quill to parchment; Of a script you shall be sure…
Fire in America, Smoke and smog arise; Flooding up in Scotland, Rainfall from the skies. Bricks of ice in Nottingham, Smashing homely glass, It rather makes you wonder if... These things will ever pass. Earthquakes in Australia, Swaying …
-adult theme- Take me with a little sweet, Make me, break me; I'm complete. Take me with a little sun, Have me, heal me; let's have fun. Take me with a little soft, Slowly, coolly; the bed has coughed. Take me with a little smile, Pai…
Shopping, shopping, shopping. Not just an average chore, Oh, not a chore for me, my dear; It's really something more. Insatiable/addicted, The sales they call with glee, Yelling with their colours: 'Come on, babe! Just buy me!' Irresisti…
I'm a little kitten, Short not stout, Here's my tail, I'll not pout. I'm a little kitten, Short not stout, Read my words, And hear me out.
Sometimes I wake up, Void, empty inside, My subconscious very absent, I feel the need to hide. It's on these days I wish, I was somebody new, Somebody very different, And that I had a clue. Self-hating days are plenty, Sitting on my own…
There was a little kitten, Whose paws were very small, Her fur was a dark yellow, And she wasn't very tall. And when it got to seven, On every weekday night, She'd pad off to the window, A peek out at the light. Life exhausted little cat…
Today it rained for hours, The floods are everywhere, Looking for some dry ground, There isn't, anywhere. My grandmother is coming, Bringing dog at cat, They'll stay in the garage, I'll give them a comfort-pat. Rain has ruined here befo…
HER lips were red as roses crushed, Her voice a sigh of a sweet-song hushed, Her skin as pale as fallen snow, Her eyes as blue as any could show. Her waist as small as small could be, Her hair so thick and long, you see, Her fingers tapered…
In the corner of my bedroom, Sits a figure of a rabbit, Staring out with GLASSy eyes, As became its habit. Neglected for a lifetime, A garden piece no longer, The predicament this bunny's in, Only makes it stronger. Sitting with its GLA…
Looking in the mirror, I see all that I've been, All the different people, My meagre years have seen. I've been blonde and brown, I've been red and white, Concerning all my dyeing, My hair has had a fight. My cheeks have grown out sharpe…
I tell you, You tell her, She tells miss, And she tells sir. Sir tells wife, Wife tells Mum, Mum tells Dad, And Dad tells son. Son tells friend, Friend tells dog, Dog tells cat, The secret's out, And that is that.
I become enraptured, With every breath I take, I become obsessed, With every move I make. Take me to the city, Clean me as a slate, Take me to the town, And there decide my fate. Don't let my go my own, My course is set on you, Shackle me…
Kiss me- I'm an angel. Love me- I am yours. Show me heart, I'll show you mine. Learn all of my contours. Smile at me- With softness. Sing to me- …
He rode in on a stallion, With hair as dark as night, A grey-eyed, pale-skinned mystery, Who seemed to bend the light. Hoof-beats thrumming rhythmically, Plumes of breath in cold, A rapier strapped to his left hip, And every girl was sold.…
Staring into my coffee like it holds the meaning of life. Savouring the taste as it cuts my taste buds like a knife. Creamy latte goodness moving to my stomach from my throat. Froth sitting on the top like a fashionable overcoat. Heaven …

It's black and dark and terrifying, Silent, quiet, fear, I know you don't believe me but- There's really something here. I'm not alone; it haunts me, It's here and it has grown, But search and you'll find nothing; It's as if I am alone. …
I have a case of the Mondays, Terrible, I admit, Start of the week! It should be great! Yet here in bed I sit. I'm way too tired to get up, I'm way too tired to sleep, Wishing it was Friday, But instead the days all creep. I feel as tho…
Humans are a cancer, An illness, sick - a rash, A race beholding others, Uncaring of backlash. They hunt the other species, Dominate the land, Leave nothing for the others, Barely room for them to stand. And when it's hot, it's too hot, …
Opussia's alive, with sound and light and laughter, A party so on fire, it could certainly win a Bafta! The punch is spiked with spirits, but no one really cares; The dancefloor full of people playing Cats' Musical Chairs! Streamers, ball…
If I should love the enemy, Then chaos is come about, Think only that there is reason, Behind every rule I flout. His lips are an addiction, In his eyes I lose myself, And so I'll be with him, I say, For all the bad or health. Tie me up…
Do you ever think about what happens when we die? Do we go above to that perfect haven in the sky? Or is living just a cycle, vicious in its ways? Nothing to look forward to, when we live out our days. Someone great once told me that we're…
*WARNING: OPTIMISM* Deep within Opussia, Feather hatched a plan, As Princess Ninja she drew on, The head of every clan. From every corner of the land, She gathered up the cats, They went into the Castle Room, And reviewed the stats. Op…
This post might seem annoying, Or silly or a bore, And what I just don't want to do, Is make an old wound sore. But I don't understand it. Why she would come again, Then tell us all her real self, And foul once more her name. It makes me…
Entering the competition, Comes one you'd not expect, Standing tall in uniform, Spine straight and erect. A little girl of maybe ten, In pinafore and tights, Big blue eyes and dark brown hair, With auburn-red highlights. Tiny, little, w…
My father was a wizard, My mother was an elf, So I'm a bit confused at what- I'm meant to be, myself... My grandmother: a goblin, Grandad he's a sprite, The 'greats-' are even more obscure, Heritage with a fight! So I'm a bit of everythin…

The Sorting Hat sat on my head, And mumbled as he perched, His mind not made up just quite yet, And as he thought he lurched. Four houses each for pondering, Slytherin or Gryffindor? Which one for me, I couldn't know: Hufflepuff or Ravenc…
The mournful cry of a wolf, Across the woodland pine, Sending you to shivers, Wracking up your spine. That cub that you've just shot down, Was his only child, Now his grief and rage, Will surely drive him wild. Again the howl comes, hau…

Lunch time, lunch time, Time to eat away, Not so much with braces though, Can't give food the time of day. Tiny bite by tiny bite, My teeth too sore to chew, I can't wait till the pain dies off, Then... The food that I'll go through! I l…
It really pees me off, When my Internet is down, It means I can't get on my apps, And so I growl and frown. Constantly resetting, The modem so it works, It's cause I live so distantly, This places has its bad-ish quirks. But oh well! No…
A broken heart, A brand new start? Not quite yet, Just let it set. Tears that fall, You want to call? No, just leave, I'll mourn this eve. You're on your own, You'll be alone? Yes, it's fine, I need this sign. But you should stay! …
Standing with your back to me, Avoiding meeting eyes, Just another reminder that: Everybody lies. Narrow, quick, sly glances, Moving on your toes, Just a quick reminder that, This is how it goes…
At present time, Confusion. Happiness is an Illusion. The only truth, A lie. Then it's time to say Goo…
*warning; swear words* So today I got my braces, And they're really FUCKING painful. I know I'll come out happy, That the metal's really gainful. My jaw feels just... On fire! And eating takes me hours... I wish I had not-hurting braces,…
Do we have a fate? A life set out, Do we have a destiny, That He may shout? Is there a path? To follow its wind, Is there a certainty, Or a definite kind? Are we just travellers? Born to our roads? Living a-lonely, Lives just as odes? Is t…
Old Mrs McKitty, Of Kittystone Road, Had a job as a tailor, She knitted and sewed. All of the kittens, And all of the cats, Came straight to her, For their mittens and hats. For Mrs McKitty, Was a famous girl, Willing to give anything, Wit…
*soppy mush time!* Tell it to the rooftops, The skyline, The clouds. Tell it to the people, The tourists, The crowds. Tell it to your best friend, Your uncle, Your mother. Tell it to your sister, Your aunt, Your brother. Tell it to…
With lips like poison, Kiss me. With a mind unwoven, Miss me. With a heart yet broken, Shun me. With a memoir, token, Outrun me. With hands like fire, Touch me. Fingertips like ice, Clutch me. With arms like cages, Hold me. With your…
Soft brown hair and sorrel eyes, Silken dress, and heels like skies. Something different, between red lips, A different weight around those hips. Demon girl, and when she smiles, She bares her fangs - no more whiles. Needle-sharp and ugly…
*warnings and stuff* Old Mother Hubbard, Went to her cupboard, Where the people she murdered were stowed. Rotted, dank flesh, None new or fresh, I secret she had never showed.
A sky with a thousand gleaming stars, Small yet large - as one, With the blink of an eye, the sun is up, And all the stars are gone. The clouded sky, a midnight blue, The colour seeps away, With the blink of an eye, the sun is up, And the …
*warnings and whatnot* 'Oranges and lemons!' Yelled a girl in St Clements. 'Hay-roll for half pence!' Yelled a whore in St Margaret's. 'Come jump my stile,' Called a man in St Giles. 'Half pence and farthings!' Said a boy in St Martins.…
I had been sat in the chair for an age. Straps at my limbs, like a cage. Matted hair and whitewashed walls, Other experiments' screams and calls. Laboratory, torture-place, To mutilate the human race. At my back were two grey feathered…
I've been told to cook, A meal for my dad, The problem being I can't cook, I'm well aware it's sad. The kitchen's rather scary, A foreign, scary place, I domain I avoid, I rarely show my face. So many odd utensils, I don't know how to u…
I bet you have read the title and thought, 'dear lord, here she goes again'. Indeed, here I do go again. Any other family, with three children, would be able to handle Father's Day with ease. And triumph. NOT MY FAMILY. OH NO. My two s…
Raindrops on the window, A spiderweb of tears, The patter on the rooftops, Everybody hears. Delicately falling down, Rain for all to see, Catching all the droplets, On the branches of a tree. Draped around like fairy lights, Translucent…
Here's a song for iPuss, Who's been rather quiet today, I, for one, have missed her, She usually has much to say. I've missed dear Mia's howling, Her mournful wolf-y cry, At least for now, I know that this- Is not a true good bye. Come …
Today, I kicked a brick, An accident, of course, And after my foot connected, I yelled myself hoarse. My little toe was bleeding, I felt like I'd been shot, My veins were running fiery, My blood, with anger, hot. Yelling at this quite st…
You tell me that you 'like me', And when I don't feel the same, You play the guilt-trip wild cards, And make me feel to blame. Your ears seem deaf to my replies, You heap requests up by the stack, I don't know how else to tell you, I don'…
Although we've had a quiet time, On Opuss here today, It's actually been quite busy, In another, different way. We've all been changing profile pics, Not our usual writing task, The most significant of them all: Richard's shedding of his …
Fragile as a new-born, Translucent as a past, Touch me and I'll shatter, I wasn't meant to last. Hold me, I'll be broken, Leave me, I will fade, Love me, live me, I will die, Ignore me where I'm laid. Forgotten as a memory, Alone inside …
The day was mist and cloud banks, You came to me and cried, You told me you were sorry, and- You never should have died. Thunder cracked with lightning, There was nothing I could do, Once dead, the dead stay buried, and- Their mortal life…
So, it STARTED with the tugging, Fine hairs drifting to the ground, Pulling at my scalp a bit, Breaking off without a sound. I watched it moving, slowly, Eyes following, enthralled, I looked it up online: Trichotillomania's what it's calle…
Well, cats, here's my secret, Not a secret any more, Except for you on Opuss, But outside, you know the score... I AM REALLY SPIDERMAN. That's right, folks, she's a 'she', Not only is Spiderman's a girl hero, She is actually, factually me…
-sounds like mush, but I honestly mean every word of it- I often think of Opuss as my family online, I think I'm very lucky for you kitten-friends of mine. I pity those without this app because I've come so far, I pity those who cannot s…
I feel the sea, It's calling, Salt spray on my face. I hear the waves, A-whistling, 'The ocean is your place.' I take a step, Move forward, Suddenly waist deep. My fingers, Wet with ocean, This ocean doesn't sleep. The gulls call, Th…
*warning: ranting, sweary poem because I'm ragey* Attention seeking idiot, Please just sort it out, I'm not falling for any of it, All that shit you always spout. Maybe you have followers, You fake and fucking lie, Spread it out for load…
Waking up and thinking 'Saturday', Stretching in my bed, Lazy smile on my face, Contemplate the day ahead. A little bit of reading, Some writing and a drink, Eating, running, doing naught, It all sounds good - I think! But something's wr…
I'm absolutely shattered, I have no idea why! The corner of my warm bed, Catches my little eye... Diving for the covers, Ninja-speed galore, Landing in a pile of quilts, I then start to- Snore. I don't actually snore. Just saying.
Sitting in the tower, Wherein she'd been confined, Since Feather's latest escapade; This is where she'd slept and dined. Her father, King of Opussia, Had conpletely drawn the line, Divorce and random running-off, Had been the final sign. …
A final gasp of life, As it seeps from every bone, My worry drains beside it, I know I'm going home. My eyes a-flutter finally, Then close for good and true, And with my final dying breath: I dream up a thought of you.
Here's a happy song! Let's sing and spread the cheer! Let's all just have a nice time, And write it all on here! Smiling, laughing goodness, Talking as good friends, Being amiable kittens, Tying all loose ends! Meow meow and repost! Like an…
Come on in the morning, Something's wrong, Where are those people, Singing their song? In those few, short hours, That I was asleep, What exactly happened? It seems, a heap. But we are Opussians, And we soldier on, We don't care, About thi…
So you don't really like me, When I'm really me, I knew your donated 'friendship', Would come at a fee. The laughter and the smiling, All fake? Unreal? A hoax? All those times I shared with you- The butt of all your jokes? Well, guess wh…
*FOUR MONTHS LATER* Unfortunate as it seems, Princess Feather fell downhill, Her marriage sadly lacked, And she had too much time to kill. She was sick of staging parties, Trashing castle after castle, Once a married woman, It was so muc…
A place of new, A place of old, A place of secrets, Told and untold. A blank white room, Empty, clear, You can forget- Everything here. Lack of things, No new words, No thoughts flying, Like lettered birds. A place of still, Tranquili…
Sitting in the bridal room, Watching 'Lilah do her hair, Feather couldn't believe that- She was really there. The princess knew she must be wed, Her father told her so, To a handsome prince of Craziville, The thought of it made her glow. …
Three mile runs, Letting off some steam, Getting home then eating, My weight in ice cream. Chocolate gooey goodness, Undoing all the run, Feeling really bloated, Like I weigh a ton. Regret weighs down upon me, I shouldn't have eaten tha…
Princess Feather sat on her throne, Listening to her father-king drone, He said things that bored her ears, Yet somehow satisfied his peers. When suddenly she heard her name, And knew this rant was not the same, So she tuned in and like a…
Stand before the mirror, Fingertips to glass, Watch distorted images, Intention: to harass. Sometimes telling truly, Sometimes lies of spite, Throwing my reflection, Into a new light. Twisting once-there features, Enemies, it and I, Never…
There's little point to life as a princess in a tower, Gazing out for princes and sitting by the hour. There's little fun in being one of those Fairytale queens, Those girls don't get real lives; they're never really teens. It's pointle…
I wish I was engaged to Opuss, We'd get on without a fuss! No domestic issues, Then Opuss, I'd never miss you! We care for each other dearly, And so I ask sincerely: Can I marry this paw print app? Oh dear. Maybe I need a nap. I appear to …
Sat atop the church spires, His gruesome face downcast, Drenched by pouring rainfall, Watching it fall fast. His metal hands were motionless, Cold and twisted claws, His mouth stuck in a howling 'O', In between two roars. Around him bro…
Just thought I'd share this with you. Okay? So, there I was. Dancing crazily to Arcade Fire with my hair tied on top of my head and a dustpan and brush in my hands. Don't ask. I was cleaning out the bunny area. Allow me to explain: my b…
White, red eyed, afraid, I sit in this glass box, Waiting for that sting, Of the latest 'great' detox. A treatment I don't want, The substance hurts me eyes, The lotions matt my fur, And no one hears my silent cries. My days consist of t…
A whooping bird call roused the girl from her sleep. Jerking upright, she found herself instantly alert: hazel eyes wide, hand swiping unruly blonde hair from her face, turning her head this way and that. Just. A. Bird. She sagged slightl…
She stretches and pads over, Tail waving in the air, Rendering owner speechless, With her bright-eyed feline stare. Those green eyes hold expectancy, Her sleek fur writhes with grace, She inches more towards you, Pushing your hand to her …
Feather looked around. The forest's mist seeped about her ankles. It was eerily quiet. Too quiet, as the cliché went. At her back, her rapier rested against her spine: a welcome comfort. In her left hand, a short knife quivered, ready f…
She used to be a pearl, Ignorant and serene, Heart healthy, Heart clean. She used to be so sweet, Rose lips pursed, Not cursed. Beautiful. She used to laugh all day. Now she's a shell. Her own little hell. You left her. You're ber…
The ninja girl stood tall, Hair swooping in the wind, Her back against the wall, Her patience gradually thinned. Awaiting contact @Weirdwolf, She watched another approach, @smellyfingers she could tell, By his ninja-magic broach. He app…
I call myself a ninja, A girl who's got the skills, Snagging bars of chocolate, Then running for the hills. Creeping, sneaking, stealthy, Catch-me-if-you-can, You wouldn't keep pace with me, No matter how hard you ran. Cause I'm a blonde-…
I'd like to say I'm sorry, Apologise in advance, Because life for my poor teeth, Isn't going to get quite pants. If y'all had only listened, And fallen out on time, Become all straight and perfect, I wouldn't need this rhyme. As it is, yo…
You're supposed to leave the toilet seat down? Oops! My bad! I'm ashamed. And all those times you asked who does it- All those people wrongly blamed. I'm feeling pretty bad right now, You've got me in a wrap, At least it's JUST the loo …
Waking up thus early, Cursing as I do, Wishing I could sleep more, Gaze at the alarm clock with rue. Dragging yourself from bed, Physically painful thing, Leaving the just-right temperature, As your alarm clock starts to sing. Grumbling…
You're Like A Scar. Puckered. Not Healing. A Wound On The Inside. Irritation. In…
The Lake of The Grey Souls: Untouched by mortal hand. The place of angels' battle; Echoes cry of their last stand. When Lucifer defeated them, Unsheathed his burning sword, And set forth his demon army, Sharp-toothed and angry-clawed. The …
When I'm at my proudest. A whisper's smile: it's light. You always point out something. There's a fault; it's not quite right. I suppose I'll never be brilliant. Destined for picking apart. Your constant, raging downers- -Do somet…
I'm sorry I'm not perfect. I'm sorry I make mistakes, I'm sorry I'm not another one of Your plastic, flawless fakes. I'm sorry I have feelings, I'm sorry I've got a voice, I'm sorry I'm not another one Who thinks she has no choice. I'm s…
Pissy, petty pussy cat, Sick of secrets kept, Thought the kingdom would be better, If everybody slept. She put a curse across the land, And stopped the kittens yapping, And so the place was silent: Everyone was napping. The quiet was re…
I had a dream last night, And this is really true, That we all came together: The united Opuss crew! At first it was quite awkward, We stood around and watched, Trying to think of conversation, Before the night was botched. But finally it…
I wish I had a friend, As loyal as this app, With all this creativity, No bitchy, rival crap. A simple little paw print, A world of written word, Thriving cats and kittens, Just waiting to be heard. If only you were real, A person, is wha…
Firstly: WOO. POST 200. *Dances*. Secondly: I too, like @Delilah have manned up and got with the century... Basically, I got Kik. Add me and stuff? : FeatherAnne Peace out cats and kittenz!
Feather sits alone, In the middle of her bed, Riotous, unhappy thoughts, Running through her head. Her little paws are shaking, Her fur standing on end, One more attack and little Feather- Can definitely not defend. Feather's really lucky, …
I tidied up my room today, Oh heck, was that a task! It's like the 'room of requirement', All you need's to ask. Seriously, the things I found: Pictureless picture frames, Ancient, weathered toothbrushes, And pieces from long-lost games. …
Dear Mr Grammar Nazi, Please leave me alone?! All this worrying about my text, Has made me lose a stone! I've really tried my hardest, I've checked my work again, This nit-picking's got to stop, It's making my temper wax and wane. I'm s…
I call my self G-N, Grammar Nazi galore, I don't care if you hate it, Or if I'm being a bore. I see a colon out of place, A comma falsely put, I'll ruin your day, no problem, I'll put you in a rut. Those apostrophes - atrocious! And spel…
I swear I'm just unlucky, It's disheartening to know, I'm really badly jinxed, It really is poor show. Okay, I guess I'm milking it, But here's the thing, you see: When I'm creeping down the stairs, I pick the step that's creaky! I don't …
Sometimes all I want is a shoulder to cry on, Sometimes I want a comfy pillow to lie on. Sometimes I just need a hand to guide me through the dark, Sometimes I want someone who'll be completely stark. Just one person who won't betray me, …
Today has been a long day, Felt like it dragged on, You ever get that feeling? You wish the time was gone? Infuriating, slow burn, As if it's in rewind, Mocking, taunting laughter, As if it knows you mind. But oh well, it's nearly over, Fo…
Some of these tshirt puns are killing me. Good job I have nine lives. #tshirt banter.
So I was sitting on the toilet, reading a book, (There was a basket by the door, so I thought I'd take a look.) Someone impatient knocked on my door, Regardless of the notice that I know they must've saw. So I did my toilet-duty and procl…
A drop could save a nation, A penny could save a child, A pair of socks could make a day, A pound could save the wild. A jar could ensure living, A song for charity, Purchasing the fair trade, For that extra little fee. A raincheck on tha…
Deep in Opuss there's a vampire kitty, Who hides in his lair beneath the city. Of course he can't come out in day, So until night time he stays away. But when the day's last hour has rang, He feels it's time to show a fang. He leaves his…
McKitty rubbed his paws together with a greedy little sigh, He ruled this neighbourhood, the go-to top-cat guy. Been in kitty-coop-up jail at least thirteen rounds, And then transferred to the bigger chains such as the bad compounds. The …
An ancient withered crone Sat upon her haggard throne: A rocking chair of wood, Creaking where it stood. Her withered hands were old, Not the graceful age that's told. Her fingers clasped a scrapbook, Wherein her life's memories were stu…
I don't know if I'm just being slow... But I just went on the 'find' tab, and clicked on the teeny-tiny little paw print in the corner and it showed me a map! It shows where the other Opussians are! It's amazing! And it makes me feel like a…
Who defines 'pretty'? Who defines 'good'? Who decides what we shouldn't, Who decides what we should? Who can tell me 'no'? Who can tell me 'yes'? Who can say that what I'm feeling, Is down to 'love' or 'stress'? Who defines 'perfect'? Who…
We were running for our lives, And the things were closing in, The chances of survival- Were ridiculously thin. Our breathing came out shallow, And our hearts began to race, The things continued closing ranks- Minimising space. Their eyes …
The clock struck 1:00AM, And Feather was rather tired, But she wasn't ready to sleep, There was work to be admired! Opuss had struck, As it so often did, And when Feather did look, Naughty Sleep hid! It was a troublesome thing, But she di…
He knew he had a different fate, A gnawing hunger he couldn't sate. The boy set forth from home to field, Courage bright and courage steeled. He came upon a travelling man, Who's hand was torn across its span. A wound so gruesome, nev…
What was the matter with me? His wife of twenty years? Was I just monotonous? A show for all his peers? Well, I can tell you now... DEAR, That things are going to change, Because now I know you sample goods -Guess you want a 'wide range'? I…
Today, my fellow Opussians, we have lost friends. We have lost family. We have lost community. Today, we have been stabbed by sadness, taunted by tears, curdled with confusion. But we are Opussians. OPUSSIANS. We fight for what we want. …
The crows' calls are like screams in the morning, Ringing out their ugly warnings, The clouds so dark it's like a new day isn't dawning, No waking up to stretching and yawning. The somber mood is a memory block, The lulling security of con…
The clouds rumble Change. Rain in torrents Pain. Something new has happened, There's something wrong on here, Something very consequential, It's bringing all…
Burger and chips? Pizza and coke? Maybe a beer... Make sure I'm not broke. Pasta and cheese? So NOT the veal, All I want Is a lovely big meal. Too many choices, Ketchup or not? Depends how I'm feeling; Cold food or hot? Sorbet or sundae? …
I stand atop Opussia, Long-sword in my hand, I gaze across the kingdom, Behold our mighty land. My sword is thick with demon gore, The blood of nightmares real, All it takes is a long-sword's kiss, And then I'll break the seal. I'm protec…
One of the nicest sounds, When I'm tucked up in my bed, Is hearing all the rain, Fall down above my head.
The sweetest little kiss, Set slightly by my lips, The brief touch of your hands, Just above my hips. The downcast, sideways glancing, A secret smile and wink, An up-curve of the lips, A similar way to think. The graceful slant of collarb…
When Jack and Jill Went up that hill It wasn't just for water. Jack had a task And Jill her flask So they fetched Jack's bastard daughter. He'd slept around Dear Jill had found And so he had a baby. The mum had died And as Jack cried 'J…
Rolling up to service in our orange overalls, Yelling 'fuck you' and making catcalls. Pissing off the elders cause we're regular sinners, Only coming home so our parents make us dinners. Dancing at the clubs and getting high on E, This is …
I'm the girl you glance at, And then you look away, I'm the girl you don't remember- Seeing every day. I'm the girl who's nondescript, The girl who's nothing new, The girl who you just walk on by, And don't acknowledge too. But underneath…
Hush little kitten don't you cry, Moma's gonna sing you a lullaby... And when you're dad comes home steaming, You'll be protected, still dreaming. And when he slashes with his paws, Moma'll bring up all his flaws. And if his flaws just…
They wave at me, With flags of red, Bloody images- Run through my head. My brothers' deaths, A countless sea- Of empty bodies; Now it's me. The red keeps flashing, Fills my sight, Shouts and screams, And blinding light. Adrenaline high, …
Meow meow meow, Meow meow me-woww, Mew, mew meow meow. Meow, purr purr, Mew purr meow, Hiss, meow meow. Hiss purr? Purr purr? Meow! Meow! Mew purrrrrrrrrr... Hiss. Meow meow mew mew Hiss Purr Purr, hiss. Meow, meow, meow.
Sometimes when I wake up, The sheets are closing in, And it's always an epic battle, To see who's going to win. When I am asleep, you see, Trapped deep in another place, My sheets and quilts together, Seem so eager to encase... I don't a…
I sit on my covers, And dream up a place, Where the mountains peak, And the rivers chase. Where the devil's absent, Yet the Gods look on, And where it's beautiful still, Whether or not the sun shone. Where your hands and mine, Can feel …
There is so much I could put, On a subject such as this: I don't want to grow up, Afraid of all the things I'll miss. I'm afraid I'll miss my family, Or fail them on my own, I'm afraid of independence, Of truly being alone. I'm afraid o…
I'm a little eccentric, But hey, who cares? I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuck- About common affairs. I'd rather be happy, And live in my world, Where I can take ANYTHING, That would've been hurled. My hair's rather feral, All mane-like and wild…
I've done quite a lot of things, Considered worthy of this list, I've ridden in hot-air balloons, So high I'm shrouded in the mist. I've travelled the world- or most of it, And been on ferry boats, I've road-tripped round Australia, And wo…
When I write on Opuss, I write to be heard, Not to become first... Or second... Or third. Yes, that's a challenge, But not a single aim, It ruins every prospect, Of the word-fuelled game! 'Likes' make me happy, And 'reposts' are rather fun…
Goldilocks has never existed, Just one of Anderson's many listed, The girl behind the tale's true, Though differences? There are a few... There was a girl named Tanglelocks, Daughter of a man who dabbled with clocks, Notorious thief and B&…
She's there. He's there. They sit, by the stair. They know I'm aware. That there's two of them there. I won't admit. That that's where they sit. It just isn't fit. I can't admit it. Sent away. They'd send me away. Wouldn't last a …
She's there if something's happy, She'll clap, applaud, be proud, And equally when depression- Sets upon me like a cloud. She'll meet me when I'm lonely, Make me tea and take me out, And when I am rebellious, She'll quell it with a shout. …
It was daytime in the city, The little vampires were asleep, Hanging from their roosts, Blood/gore? Not a peep! A few of them sucked dummies, More of them held bears, It's hard to believe at all, That they're the thing of nightmares. All t…
My two baby bunnies managed to chew through the Internet wires, telephone wires and sky box. This is the reason for my lack of posts and general dodgy-ness. Evil bunnies... ⚡
So what if I'm a princess? That doesn't make me weak! If a dragon came my way, I wouldn't squeal and squeak! Oh no! I'd draw my sword, And kill it with my skills! At least scare it till it runs away: Or flies back to the hills. …
Somehow it's always my fault, I'm the one to blame, Place it on my shoulders, An unwanted fame. There's a fault in EVERY thing, Even when it's right; Sometimes I think you pick the faults, Just as a form of spite. If I do a favour, You'll…
I see millions of adverts, Every single day, Gracing tips of skyscrapers, Plastering the subway. Shameless advertising, To rope me in, to keep, Pages down the street ways, Posters: heap upon heap. The television blaring: Guilt inspiring…
I rather often find myself, Looking round at faces, Wondering who're Opussians, If so, what are their places? Anyone could be one of us, An Opussian secretly, Yet normal during daytime, But Opuss makes them free. Working with their brief…
Ahem. /\___/\ ( _ _ ) =( •_ )= I'm a grumpy little kitten, When I'm woken up too early, I'll meow rather angrily, And my tone will be quite surly. Try and be quite q…
In truth I'm rather worried, I've got something on my mind, I must have - this keeps happening, Yet I feel quite blind. I don't want to say it aloud, So I'll try it down in words, Let Opuss hear my plight, And hope that I'll be heard. E…
I went out for a drink today, Just me and Ivy Spear, She's my faerie friend, you see, She's such a little dear. You could say we have a weakness, When it comes to beer, We lose our inhibitions, And things become less clear. Dear Ivy's s…
Has anyone seen my watch? Time has run away... Infuriatingly it does this, When I want it most to stay. I've searched my head and heart, Looked all over the house, Yet time has foiled me once again, Crept stealthy as a mouse. I wanted j…
The slow descent down palace steps, Has me gagging in my wine, Those floaty dresses, red rouged lips, To make us seem 'divine'. We must sit straight, or God forbid, Imagine if we slouched... My misbehaviour's overlooked, My trouble's rarel…
He's the last of his kind, The only of his race, He travels by himself, Through all of time and space. No one knows his name, An absent, lonely man, He travels round the galaxies, Often without a plan. He calls himself The Doctor, Nine…
Waking up in mornings, After only four hours' sleep, A bundle of fur on the bed, A kitten in a heap. When the other cats get up, And move about the house, The smells of breakfast waft right up: Smells like fresh-caught mouse. But this l…
It was midnight in Opussia, But a kitten could not sleep! She tossed and turned within her bed, Even counted sheep... She'd read her books for hours, And listened to the breeze, Tapping on her windows, She could even hear the trees. But …
She's ghostly pale, With tapered limbs, She waits beneath the sea. She sings her song, With thick-lashed eyes, Directs that gaze at me. Bewitching noise, Sculpted cheeks, Her perfection is unreal. Fixating voice, Ruby red lips, I stri…
*to be read in a dull, depressing voice* Hi, the name's Billy, I'm kind of a gnome, And I've been diagnosed with: 'Bad-gnome-syndrome'. It's not all that bad, It just means I'm depressed, I hate what I am, And I get really stressed. …
I perch upon a daisy, Champagne flute in my hand, I ignore the other faeries; They'd never understand. My name is Bluebell Willow, Born not to king and queen, But that doesn't mean I won't be, The finest fey you've ever seen. For I'm to…
I am the icy Snow Queen, Bewitching in my looks, And all my kingdom knows- That I'm the kingdom's crux. Demanding every stare, I'm a woman to admire, And should I be upset at all, I've a never-ending pyre. My hair is deeply, raven dark, M…
Will Scarlet was a tricky fellow, Often seen as quiet and mellow. Inside however, he was raging, Trying to break through Robin's caging. Sick of being second place, Overshadowed in every case. Robin's arrogance got to him, So Scarlet …
Little did I know, As I woke up today, I'd learn that a deceiver, Had truly had to pay. I feel like such a fool, For following this 'cat', When really underneath he had The disposition of a rat. I know I'm just a kitten, But I wish I un…
Here's a little gem, I bet you didn't know, Revolving round some women, That Shakespeare used as foe. In ink he named them witches, In life they were quite real, And all this talk of witchery, Was his usual writer's spiel. They were, in…
I have an amazing gift, Yet one I cannot show, One that comes with burdens, And often inspires woe. There are many of us here, Living secret lives, We must keep it from our children, Our husbands and our wives. The secret has a choking …
I'm small number Three, Annoying and ignored, I'm sick of being tiny, I'm always very bored. When someone picks me up, They suppress a groan, It's really not so nice, Being left alone. The other cards all shun me, It's like I'm not even h…
I sat inside my study, Awaiting words to come, I'd wait till they'd appear, Then put quill against my thumb. A corner of my brain raged, The corpse of Hamnet hung, It was then my writing came to me, To paper, my words, I sung. For I was…
Now, before you get judgemental, I'd like to have a word, My name is Mr. Dracula, And I don't know what you've heard... You see, Stoker was a friend of mine, But then we disagreed, And in this spell of discontent, Bram pursued a thoughtles…
You spin a web, Of silver thread, And taunt me as- I go to bed... You inspire fear, Despite your size, Smother in cobwebs, The bugs and flies. Spindly legs, And delicate stealth, Silvery nests of- Unique wealths. Spider, spider, Why then …
A kiss, Like the fire, Of a funeral pyre. Mixed, With tears, Held over the years. Husband, And wife, Together through strife. Sighing, At last, It has finally passed. Sorrow, To know, This feeling must go. War, It steals, In some …
It began with the ticking, That incessant noise, It did something to me, Altered my poise. My limbs felt alive, With electricity, A thumping, a booming, Sense of activity! I let my lids fall, Shutting my eyes, And against the blackness, …
Sometimes I can see it, crystal clear: My thoughts. Running about my head. Neon blue, ultra violet. ... Perhaps velvet to the touch. Snapshots of memories, hung up like photographs in a darkroom. Random. Unselected. My brain: like …
There's a cog in my heart, Because without it I don't work, I imagine it shining copper, Amongst my body's murk. I can almost hear it ticking, Every time I breathe, A never ending clockwork chime, I can't ever have reprieve. It's strang…
We begin with summer, When heat is all, When leaves and flowers, And ivy crawl, The heat is harsh, And loved by some, When others wish- -for a little less sun. And then it's autumn, Leaves part from trees, The ground becomes littered, Wit…
An army of kittens, Storming the gates. A hopeless 'monarchy', Accepting their fates. Unity shown, As never before, The true Opussians, Maintaining the law. A siege underway, Fury and fire, Despaired and deceived, By those to admire. An …
Copy me and make me cry, Or do your own: actually try. Plagiarism and copying, You should have your own song to sing. Kittens on here try their best, It's not easy, when we're oppressed. To write our own, To originality, Enables a…
*brief warning* Sing a song of sixpence, A knife gash down your thigh, Four and twenty poisons, Baked into a pie, When the pie was opened, You took a nice, big bite, Oh, seeing your body on the ground, Was such a pleasant sight. Your …
Walking that edge, Between fake and real, Signing your life, With that bloody seal, Watching the parchment, As it burns, Fire in your veins, As the pact returns. The binding is real, Tightens your throat, Air between us: Thick with dust mot…
A tear can hold a memory, A thousand times its size, A tear can hold betrayal: Show the truth behind the lies. A tear can tell a story: A tale of secrets spread, A tear can mark that disposition, And mask or show the dread. A tear can b…
Captivating eyes, Mussed, rich hair, I sometimes wonder... If you're out there. Another half, A dream come true, Fairy tale prince, The perfect you. Someone who cares, Deep and good, Matching every ideal A perfect man should. Meets every…
Stepping out of my house. I know you've been there. I can see your marks, On every cemented square. It's beautifully quiet, Just a hint of a glow, When the whole world looks down on you, This is how you show- -Yourself. I admire your tr…
Until I don my mask, I'm an ordinary girl. Not yet the super-heroine, Instead the mistook pearl. I put it on and change inside, To my true identity. The girl who fights with gusto, Though no one knows it's me. What people truly don't …
I have to say, When I'm feeling blue, Opuss, my friend, I rely on you. All the kittens are trusting, They know what to say, And the 'meow' of my iPod, Makes the pain go away. No matter the time, Or the place, or the day, There's always a…
'Hi Mum' Doesn't reply. 'How was your day?' Why do I try? -I'm going to ignore you- I gathered as much. As for dependence? A weak person's crutch. 'How are you, Dad?' Doesn't reply. 'How was your day?' Why do I try? -leaves the same room…
A sea of bodies. Stations. Work places. Hospitals. Beaches. Everywhere. Look at us. Always running. We. Never. Stop. I guess that's why we call ourselves the "human race".
There's a warning that whispers about the morning, It reaches ears and sings its warning... 'Never dance in the faerie court, You do that and your life's cut short, They'll leer at you and rope you in, Taunt you with each turn and spin, Ca…
It was Bring-Your-Pet-To-School day, And it got me very worried, You see, I didn't HAVE a pet, So when I bought one I was hurried... When I asked the pet shop, Which pets they had in store, They said they had but one in, There was someone …
I have a clockwork angel, Who rests just by my heart, His metal shell lies dully, A glinting piece of art, His hair is smooth and silver, His eyes are just like mine: Reflecting what he feels inside, Beneath his metal shine. And even in ti…
I have a little secret, Which I yearn to tell, It's got to stay a secret though, You'd better keep it well: I know a little faerie, Her name is Ivy Spear, She's very helpful, very wise, And does like human beer! She tells me all of faerie…
A heady heat; Oppressing sun, Exposed flesh: Summer's begun.
I awaken to a hunger, Like a bolt in my brain, A hunger so driving... It could send me insane. A red film of blood, Covers my vision, Underneath red it's clearer, A gaze with precision. There's a strength to my limbs, That there wasn't b…
I feel everything. The sun is burning deep and true, The tapping of concrete meeting shoe, The gentle whisper of the breeze, The talking of the tall oak trees, The sound of humans in their homes, The noiselessness as a predator roams, The…
Does anyone else, Feel Time slip Away? As if the hour you thought, Is really a day? A month becomes years, Stolen forever, Where Time is concerned, We're at the end of our tether. Time's a conundrum, That's for…
The battlefield was ripe, With temper and with strife, Opussians and Fairytalers, Fighting life for life. At the centre of the planes, Stood Cinders, Snow and Pigs, The ugly stepsisters close behind, Jostling with their wigs... Opposing …

"Lips red as red, Cheeks white as white, An unreal beauty, An aunt with much spite": The truth of Snow White, It wasn't as told, That fairy tale, Is a story told; The truth is this: The girl was young, And with her aunt, Didn't hold her t…
That's your heart there, In that jar by my bed! 'You'll keep it for ever?' isn't that what you said? I've a secret to tell you, Keeping it's a fine art... I'll go out on a limb here: You have my heart!
It glints. The knife. It splints. The flesh. The feel brings scars anew. It sings. It bites. Turn out. The lights. A haunting fear, but who? Alone. In fear. Nobody. Is here. But Death's cold eyes, they bore. New day. New pain.…
As I look into the mirror: My reflection screams at me, Her fingers press against the glass, She longs to be set free. She runs her hands against the glass, A futile gesture, she's trapped, And from her fights to be released, Her palms an…
There are days I long to feel, Death's cold fingers around my neck. There are mornings I wake up to, and I take my pulse to check. There are evenings where I lie down, and wish I'd never rise. There are afternoons of hatred, where my …
The day was hot and cloudless, When a little kitten from Opuss, She took in the word-built skylines, And peered at the letter-filled gold mines, Her paw prints left a crumb-trail, As she turned at last to her own tale: She looked at h…
Often when downhearted, And let out a wearied sigh, The best thing in the world Can be to hear the kitten's cry! When I am tired of boring life, And wish to break free somehow, What can make it better? Oh! Opuss's meow!
She feels like no one loves her, She's a shadow, overcast, All their withering gazes, She's just a figure of the past. Her hazel eyes are soulful, And hold memories like a cage, She stands and watches quietly, Now a darkened Priest…
Right, look here, Opuss, Here's the thing, I have three more exams, That I can't just wing. Two tomorrow, One on Tuesday, Yet no revising, On here I stay. Yeah, that's it Opuss, I'm addicted! Are you happy now? Because I'm conflicted! …
I hate the morning after, When you feel as sick as hell, To be fair it's all my fault, Why I did it I can't tell, Because it's all about the fun, Until that next morning, When I lie in a heap on the bed, Grumbling and yawning, And the sickn…
Before there were three there was one, And Melody was his name. All alone in the Opuss world, But then he found his fame. It's name was simply 'M.P.D.', Deep within his heart, But what he did not realise, Was that this was just the start…
There's something that I'll never know, I'll wonder always if it's just for show: Do girls believe that orange is good? When it's plastered on as thick as mud? Do they think that it's an attractive look? Because, actually, it's orange muck.…
My face is like a mask, It hides me from the truth, It can let me be somebody else, Somebody harsh, cruel, uncouth. It hides my feelings when I want, And lets me seem just fine, And if I'm delusional on certain days, I feel like the mask …
When I cry, they pretend there's no tears. When I scream, nobody hears. When I bleed, they leave me to die. When I'm sad, all they do is sigh. When I start to say just a word... They turn and leave me forever unheard.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, I like lunchtime. And dinner. And breakfast. And snacks. To be fair... I don't remember what my original point was. Food. Yum.
Every morning it's the same, I hear Opuss call my name, And so I march, like the soldier I am, Armed not with sword or battering ram, But armed with brain and thoughts and text, And once I've written, then what next? I check the feed and li…
Stupid technology, Evil technology, Annoying, frustrating, idiotic technology. Rubbish technology, Shut-up-please technology, Whiny, noisy, irritable technology. Awesome technology, Amazing technology, It-lets-me-enjoy-Opuss technology. …
Deep beneath the water lies a city of its own, Where no mortal has ever set foot, no person ever shown. The city's made of coralline and breathes the salty sea, But it's inside the city that's the gem: that's where you want to be. The mau…
Does anyone remember that time when secrets existed? When cock-ups and accidents and faux-pas weren't listed? When you could change to 'single' without facebook's command? And the world wouldn't know about your ONE night stand? When not eve…
"I'm that shape in the shadows, Your worries and fears, That smog in your nightmare, The pain in your tears, I'm the thief of your heart, Your shuddering shiver, I'm that icy cold breeze, I make you age and whither. I'm the mercy at the end…
Guess what, Opuss? I have an exam! On Russian history! Yet here I am! Posting a story, Checking you out, When I should be cramming... What's that all about?! Now I'm going to go, And revise the Tsar, Although I have this feeling: I won't ge…
In a perfect world... One we'll never know, There'll be a chance For us to grow. There'll be no restraints... We can stretch our limbs, There'll be no planning, We can live on a whim. We can stop space and time, And fall in love without p…
Take me to my place of dreams, This land where nothing's as it seems, Where truth is mixed with fantasy, And imagination is the key, Where, in a moment, places change, And things that happen may seem strange, A land of opportunity, It reall…
Rain lashes down, But I'm inside, warm, Bundled in quilts, Listening to the storm. My sister lies beside me, Limbs tangled in mine, That I'm her protector, This is a sure sign. She listens to me sing Her a soft lullaby, It seems almost et…
A small child, Curled up on a bed, Foetal position, Knees tucked to head. She sighs in her sleep, And turns on her side, A mother looks on, Face: tender pride. I stand by the door, A forgotten ghost, And watch my mother watch the one she …
It's a whisper in the morning, It's a goading in the eve, It's that group of words I use on you, When I try to make you leave. It's a kiss first on your left cheek, Then on your right to match, It's like a blow to your stomach, Or a bruisi…
They didn't know she was bleeding inside, It was unclear why she was crying: It happened so suddenly - no time for mourning, And then she told she was dying. Her bambi-blue eyes, we're glazed over and wide, Her skin like a sheet of thin g…

Light me on fire, Let them see my pain, Let them see my face, Let me bare no shame, Let me show my colours, Let me hoist my sails, Let them throw what they will, Let me tell my tale, Let me sing my song, Let them hear my tune, Let melancho…
You criticise my hair, Talk behind my back, Point out all my flaws, And everything I lack. You stab me with your eyes, Every single day, And then you smile -sickly sweet- And beg for me to stay. You leave me out when talking, And laugh at …
A coolness to the air, A stiffness to the breeze, A host of thoughts and spiderwebs, Of childhood memories. A weight of unknown conscience, A howling in my head, 'Sometimes life can cut you down, Or pick you up instead.' An old man in a r…
A crown of thorns rests on my head, You give me that look I've come to dread. I close my eyes and wait for the pain, Keeping my love's secret is worth this shame.
The first time Gina set eyes on James, she wanted to throttle him. An overwhelming sense of unexpected hatred engulfed her: hot, white rage. Rage like she'd never felt before. Gina choked on it, latching eyes with him, and seeing the exact…
I have this little theory, There's a Thing inside my purse, And when this Thing gets hungry, To my headphones it goes first. I never understood before- How the wires get such a mess, But since I've had this revelation, I've realised it's …
Sometimes I don't want the 'good guy', Sometimes he's too nice. Sometimes I want to test the waters, 'Bad' might add some spice. Sometimes things aren't black or white, Sometimes I'll be caught, Sometimes chaos is big and brash, Or merely…

R.I.P. Twilight - my eight and a half year old bunny. It's going to be hard to go from eight years of seeing you every day... To nothing. I'll love you and miss you forever.
She watched him move, Move away from the house, The house and from her heart. She knew he'd be changed, Changed on return, Now he and she were apart. A tear ran down, Ran down her cheeks, And her hair fell forward to hide. The was a lur…
Listening to the rain on your roof whilst you're in bed is a wonderful thing... Until you realise it's time to brave it.
There always comes that time, When you realise you're helpless. And you wish your tenderness could soothe: A touch, a caress. You deny the probability to yourself, Focus on fake ideals, Because the truth is too hard, Your mind puts up its…
She lay on the ground, A broken girl, Discarded, neglected, The thrown away 'pearl'. Above her, he wept, Knowing his deed, The knowledge came late, His fate now decreed. He would end himself, To meet her beyond, For her it was worth it, T…

Jacob watched the sky change colours. Regal red, cerulean blue. At his side, Skyler was stretched along the grass - just as he was. They stayed silent, just watching the dark clouds race languidly across the sky. It was not a clear nigh…
There are books that make you laugh, And books that make you cry, Books in which to the characters, You're loathe to say goodbye. There are books for when you're gloomy, Books for when you're bored, Temporary-sort-of books, And the kind th…
I open my eyes. Look at the clock. I'll just shut then for two more minutes. I open them. Half an hour has passed. Crap.
I open my eyes to the same blank ceiling I always open them to. At my side, my brother Henri turns over and sighs fretfully in his sleep. At his side, my mother absently brushes hair back from her face with shut eyes. I am the only one aw…
I don't usually post this kind of thing, but... If you get the chance to go and see The Avengers at the cinema... DO IT. At least a 9/10, and even aside from my Thor-obssession, it was brilliant.
Claudia sat on the wet grass, uncaring of the cool seeping through her clothes and chilling her skin. She sat by her sister's grave, laying a short collection of wild flowers at its base. Flowers and tears. Claudia read, not for the firs…
It can take but the creak of a stair; The light pad of a footstep; The clearing of a throat; The opening of a draw. It can take but the mumble in your sleep; An outsider's soft voice; Static of my phone; A train's distant roar. It can take…
Sometimes I think the world would be a better place if we could exist in our own imaginations.
We move as one, across the smooth terrain that is The Window Sill. Many have journeyed. Few, returned. Our limbs are skittering over the sliding desert of wood, but we move onwards like the soldiers we are. If one of us falls, we continue…
Yes, Dad, I have hormones, No, Mum, I'm not high, And no, it's not a passing phase, Just why would I lie? Mum, I'm not a baby, I don't 'play' any more, I don't want milk and cookies, I'm seventeen not four. Please don't make a big deal, …
You look at me, With ice blue eyes, You're picking out my flaws. I'm like a stranger, Isolated, Kept behind closed doors. You make a point, To pass me by, Yet act like I'm not there. Your little clique, Bleached hair and all, Give me da…
The sun bellowed its arrival with a beam of orange. Inside the tent, General Courage was readying his armour. General Caution watched... Cautiously. Outside the tent, the clamour of battle resounded across the surrounding fields. 'I'm af…

Tears down my cheeks, Running hot and cold, I knew you'd never last, Everyone gets old. It's still a nice illusion, To have you always there, No matter what I do or did, You would never care. I see you in the morning, The afternoon and ev…
The numbers on January's arm caught the light. Three minutes. Twenty seven seconds - make that twenty six. January cradled her head in her hands, and kept her breathing as normal as she could. Three minutes. At her side, her younger sist…
My eyelids close when they should be opening, My quilt is really warm, I hate it when I leave my bed: Mornings leave me torn.
The clutter and messes inside my mind, Will never be sorted in any kind. This general disorder is mine to search, On a ledge, overlooking it all, do I perch. A brain is a secretive, wonderful place, Where dreams and reality play catch-m…
She opened her eyes to white. That searing, scientific, spotless white. It burned itself into the back of her retinas. She tried to remember. She did. When she had sat in this chair she had been a seventeen year old girl, willing to do a…
I look in the mirror and see that face, It takes me back to a different place, That pale, thin oval of a ghostly shade, A cement of secrets set to be laid, I look at those eyes full of haunted light, And wonder why I ever came to see such a…
Sometimes the world seems big and brash, A ripping, roaring tide- Of shouts and yells and craziness, From which I want to hide. The general rush kills all the calm, Makes serenity rub and chafe, It makes me long to be at peace, Somewhere…
White washed walls and festered sheets, An ancient home, the pattern repeats: I walk the halls, and smell that smell, A stomach-churning I can't quell. This place has lost that homely touch, No longer that house I miss so much. It holds th…
I wear my hair around my face, or up around my ears, I wear it how I want to - not to mirror all my peers. I don't use too much makeup, I don't wear too-low tops, It doesn't really matter, does it, which are my favourite shops? I don't l…
Rain on windows, A gentle sound, A whispering wind, Doesn't want to be found. The quiet of a morning, It's early still, Outside it's gusty, Filled with chill. Inside however, It's cosy and warm, I'm under the covers, I hide from the storm…
Brown eyes, hazel tone, Frothy hair, she stands alone. Sharp cheeks, slender nose, Slim and lithe from head to toes. Graceful neck, easy smile, Hair piled up - easy style. Mirror image, it is she, That perfect girl, I long to be.

Hello, my name is Heather and I am addicted to Opuss.
There's something really quite beautiful about the sky tonight. It's dark, but not black: a deep, deep blue. Stars are dotted about it. I always feel, looking up at the sky, on nights akin to this one, that being up amongst the stars mus…
A shadow of doubt, In the crook of my mind, It lurks without repent. It favours my head, It trawls through my thoughts, From whence or whom was it sent? The shadow it grows, With every breath, A mem'ry I cannot lose. It teases me- Taunts…
Klea watched the house quietly, from the shadows of the forest. The trees moved around her, like extended limbs, sighing like weary elders. Inside the house, silhouettes shifted, moving about every-day actions. Brewing coffee. Frying eggs.…
1. Saying 'bunnies' all the time. It pees people off sometimes. But it's habitual. 2. The massive poster of The Muppets on my wall. I act like a seven year old sometimes. But then again, The Muppets are kind if timeless. 3. Reading inst…

My great aunt died yesterday. Sometimes life is really, really unfair. But then you just put your chin up. And it's all a bit better.
Went to the ceremony this evening, didn't win, but top 14 in the region isn't bad AT ALL. Also, having professional actors read my work aloud made my night! Now, tomorrow I'll spend the book voucher I got. -counting down the minutes alrea…
There had been many moments in Quinn's life, in which she'd considered giving up. Completely. At nine years old, a wiser girl than most, younger Quinn had managed to uproot a tile from her cell floor, and had hidden her finding under her p…
The transformation was astounding. From emaciated, sallow shell of a person, to a slightly fuller, rosier one - Quinn looked like a new person. Her hair shone dully, but shone nevertheless. There was a flush to her cheeks. Unsure how else t…

Cole ran a hand through his hair, uncannily copying Drake's own action. The brothers paced the length of the room, moving around the furniture just for something to do other than tearing their hair out. 'Drake, we can't force her to go bac…
'...Take down the whitecoats? Are you crazy?! Going in there and taunting them is a mad idea!' Quinn knew her temper was rocketing, and, from the looks on the brothers' faces, it was a surprise, but she couldn't quite calm down. 'Going back…
Of their own volition, Quinn's own wings retracted from her spine, moving easily through the specially-manufactured clothing the whitecoats had so thoughtfully provided her with. Quinn and Drake faced each other for a long moment, each set…
Quinn was left in the dark only a moment before a light allowed her relief. The room was cavernous: wide and echoey despite the sheer amount of things there were. There were lampshades and stencils and sofas and hair pieces and hats and ha…
Quinn was falling. Cool air taunted her wings - she wanted so badly to snap them out and catch herself, midair, but the whitecoats' administrations had rendered then useless - it was a wonder they were still attached to her spine. The momen…
Quinn found herself above her cell, facing three people. The dark haired boy who had hauled her from her pallet, and two other young adults who both wore watched her with disinterest. One of the two was a boy, also dark haired, but rather …
Quinn lay on her stomach, the hard mattress biting into her tender skin. Bruises marched the length of her torso, moving down her legs and arms and amassing at her wrists, ankles and neck like bees to flowers. Her brown tabby-like wings we…
A bright light filtered through Quinn's sleep, rousing her from its dark, restless depths. 'She's awake, sir.' It was the voice Quinn dreading hearing every time she returned to herself. It was the voice of Doctor Stephens, one of the more…
Quinn felt tears of exertion trickle down her chin as she flitted through the maze. All around her the snapping and baying hounds nipped at her heels and ate at her paranoia. Her feet felt numb with exhaustion and her arms were heavy with e…

Emma watched the sun rise from her window. In the distance it looked beautiful and harmless. In reality, it was a blazing ball of gas. A fine example of deception at its best. The breeze picked Emma's hair from her shoulders and beckoned i…
