I am darkness incarnate
solid emptiness and blackened core,
penumbra in every shade of gray
and all I want is to hold a piece of the light
but our touch destroys the other

Literature
she was Venus once
She was Venus once,
encased in love and light
caught between a kiss and a shudder;
she turned to the shadows,
called Persephone her sister
and chilled her passions
when she found that
love kills just the same
as a spear on the battlefield

Literature
little red, lady luck
little red dress,
your slinky ways
catch the eye of wanderers
hard workers
and misfits
be careful where you swing those hips
when perusing the world --

There once lived a man and his skeleton wife,
They danced and they played and were so full of life,
Every morning, afternoon and good night,
They would eat a meal together under candle light.
One breakfast he heard his wife say,
"Oh my dear I wish you make you happy,
I know what I'll do" said she with glee,
"I shall mask myself with skin and become a vision of beauty."
"Very well" said the man,
Kissing her lovingly so,
"Wear some skin for me,
But I doubt I will love you more with what I see."

I don't want girls to look at themselves with fear or concern,
Worried about how they'll be treated with lots of calories to burn,
But I don't want them to look down at their waste,
And feel they're great and think their health is definitely safe.
I don't want them to look at someone elses' grade,
See their own and hear themselves say,
That persons life is perfection compared to mine,
Cuz the chances are is that person doesn't see them selves as fine.
It's a fragile line we tread when we look in the mirror,
We want to see the best, someone who's thinner,
But the girl who looks and sees her beautiful self,
Wishes her brains could be as large
