Unrequited Love

Unrequited Love

She thinks that she can love him
Enough to make him see
The reflection that stares back at her
The good that she can be

She’s pretty like a flower
Blooming in the spring
Yet no matter how she blooms for him
He won’t ever feel a thing

Her smile is radiant like the sun
She lights up every room
Yet no matter how she shines for him
He won’t ever feel it too

Her heart is like the ocean
Generosity limitless
Yet no matter if she’d die for her friends
He won’t ever see her best

She thinks to herself how perfect she is
For him in every way
Yet no matter how she dreams at night
Those words he’ll never say

She can’t help who she falls for
She can’t ever make him feel
The feelings that she holds inside
To him they’re just not real

Her love is like a single key
Gave away without a cost
Yet no matter if he holds it with him
To her, it’s always lost.

Rainbow

Red is the colour of my heart
The way it beats sets you apart
Whenever you are close to me
No faster can my red heart beat

Yellow is the colour of the sun
And beneath its rays I would run
Across the entire world for you
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

Pink is the way that my cheeks blush
They always get that kind of flush
Every time you talk to me
I try to hide so you won’t see

Blue is the colour of the sky
And also the colour of your eyes
I see a galaxy when I look into
Your beautiful eyes of ocean blue

Orange is the colour of a flame
The way it burns, the way it claims
The warmth it provides when you are cold
Like love, it’s fiery and it’s bold

Green is the colour of the grass
The way it seems to grow so fast
Just like all relationships too
We never realise until we do

Purple is my favourite one
It’s not the colour of the sun
Not the colour of a flame
Or the way my red heart pains

I like it just because I do
Much like how I’m in love with you
I don’t know how, I don’t know why
But you paint a rainbow in my sky.

Chocolate Muffin

No, this is not a recipe for an awesome chocolate muffin =P While I do live for sites like tastespotting.com, my dedication to living healthily stops me from making the fatty deliciousness of baked desserts (although I do cave occasionally *yum*). A couple of KK banners I should have posted a while ago, sorry, and a poem at the end that will explain the whole ‘chocolate muffin’ thing. Yeah…sadly, it’s based on a real dream I had O_o

Credit if you use these on another site.

Chocolate Muffin

I saw you eating a chocolate muffin
Just the other day
It didn’t occur to me at the time
Exactly what I’d say

Then I dreamt a dream of you
With no intention at all
I bought that chocolate muffin
You so scrumptiously adore

I walked into the classroom
And slid it over to you
Wrapped in its brown paper bag
You didn’t know what to do

I said to you “do you want it?”
For “I’m not hungry today”
Hoping foolishly to win your heart
To hear words that you don’t say

I don’t remember what happened next
Dreams are strange like that
I woke up feeling, just to myself
That I’d gone completely mad

I hope I said something witty
I hope you smiled at me
I hope we flirted over the muffin
And you asked me out to tea

Perhaps this will give me the strength
To stop by the café next week
Right before I see you in class
And you sit next to me

I’ll buy you a muffin, a chocolate one
And slide it over to you, and say
“Hey there, I bought a muffin today,
I thought you might like one too.”

Un-Pretty Me

Two new pieces of poetry. I hope you enjoy them <3

Un-Pretty Me

She’s the girl with a lonely heart
Sitting in the back
The girl who’s always left behind
What other girls have she lacks

No songs are ever written about
The sadness that she cries
No stories made about the way
She always gets left behind

She’s not pretty like the other girls
She’s plain as plain can be
Standing out in an endless crowd
Of preconceived beauty

It’s hard to love what you already have
When the world is made this way
When being beautiful gets you ahead
And plain is a price to pay

You tell me that looks aren’t everything
And I agree with you
But tell that to the girl in the back
With her heart broke clean in two

Can’t help that this is who she is
Can’t help she’s not like them
She looks into the mirror each day
And hates what she can’t mend

For when we’re young and our mothers smile
And says, “how pretty she is”
We are taught right from the very start
That at pretty is where it begins

And when we’re fifteen and seventeen
Flipping through magazines
They say, “Get her hair, lose that weight
This is who you want to be”

Then when we’re finally twenty-one
It’s far too late to change
Consumed by an image-based society
But the media we do not blame

Instead we look in the mirror each day
And point at the average girl
The foundation, liner and mascara goes on
To hide our plain face from the world

But the plain girl doesn’t do that
Boys don’t ever look at her
It’s the price that she must pay
To stay true to all she’s worth

So she sits in the back of the classroom
And prays to God each day
Wishing for that moment when
She knows she’s beautiful – just this way.

Eradication

I want to write you out of my heart
On blank paper that yearns for my words
I want to sing every lyric I know
In love songs that must be heard

I want to dance around the room
Until you’re out of my thoughts
All the while imagining that
I am eternally yours

I want to create beautiful things
In colours so very bright
Until my feelings for you disappear
Unreachable and out of sight

I want to dream every dream of you
Until they can be no more
All possibilities played in my mind
And into these words they pour

It’s because you inspire me in every way
And I can’t think when you’re around
Even when you’re not in the room
My heart, it can’t be found

For somehow it’s attached to you
And my head is left a mess
I can’t do anything but think of you
My creativity cannot rest

But then I realise I can write it down
I can sing it out loud and dance
I can create all of these beautiful things
And dream a dream of chance

Yet I will never eradicate you from myself
I’m bound to you this way
Creation is so wonderful
But it doesn’t replace what I don’t say

So you see I can never write you out
The questions torment my soul
And until the answers are clear to me
You will always have my hold

You can’t not ever inspire me
You can’t not have my heart
Everything about you
I want to be a part

You capture my imagination
And it’s not just ‘cause you do
I can’t rid you of myself
Because I just don’t want to.

Clana/Kristom Banners

A few new Clana/Kristom banners and a poem at the end. Enjoy <3

Credit if you use on another site.

Zac

His eyes are like an endless ocean
They turn grey under the moonlight
They seem to reach the end of the world
Where the blue line meets the sky

I listen to every word he says
But I don’t hear a single thing
Too lost in the ocean of his eyes
I’m mesmerised by him

I watch him as he reads a book
And I wonder about his mind
His passion draws me inside of him
And I wonder what I’d find

He’s the dream I dream about
The lyrics of every song
He makes me want to pick flowers, and say:
“He loves me, he loves me not”

Have I ever seen someone so beautiful?
So perfect in my eyes?
He’s the reason I wake up today
The reason I sleep at night

I wish I could just ask him
I wish I wouldn’t wait
Because I know that soon enough
It would have been too late.

Supernatural and…

Two wallies. One from the latest “Supernatural” episode, which I totally loved. It was absolute genius. This show never lets me down. The second is from my new love “The Mentalist”. I love Rigsby and Van Pelt together, so I had to make a wallie. I might do some with Simon Baker later if I’m up for it. I love his character on the show. And this is seriously the ONLY ‘cop’ show I’ve become addicted to – even if I do watch CSI Miami a lot. Finally, a poem at the end. Enjoy <3

Nine O’Clock

Lying beside you on a bed
Cheeks are flushed and turning red
I can’t quite tell if this is real
But everything about me feels

My heart beats fast inside my chest
I’m somehow tired but cannot rest
I know the butterflies that spin around
Inside my stomach they can be found

I glance at the clock hanging on the wall
Scared to death that I will fall
Outside what seems to be a dream
That fits as perfectly as it seems

You kiss me softly on the lips
Your brush so gentle as you kiss
I can’t believe that you are mine
Everything about you makes me rhyme

Then I woke up at nine o’clock
But beside me you were not
Oh it’s just another dream
Real to me, but yet unseen.

Beautiful Crush

More “Twilight” should be on its way once I get back in the mood for it. For now, here’s two new clana wallies from “Thirst” and “Crimson” respectively (click to make them bigger). Plus a poem at the end. Enjoy <3

Beautiful Crush

You’re the song I always want to sing
You’re all the beautiful little things
Every breath and every stare
You look at me and I feel so bare

I want to know the colour of your eyes
If only I could break my disguise
What is this feeling, this addictive rush?
I know deep down you’re just a crush

But I can’t help wonder what could be
If reality was my deepest fantasy
I am the princess and you’re my knight
Riding off on a horse so white

So yes, I’m suddenly ten again
Far too scared to be your friend
Since talking to you makes me blush
Even though you’re just a crush

Do you know you’re beautiful?
Lovely and so wonderful?
I don’t know who you are to me
But you’re all I ever want you to be

So I sit and dream and look at you
Smile at all the things you do
You’re the song I want to sing
Oh, don’t you know, you’re everything.

Twilight

This is just to start off. I’m intending to make more when I have more time! Also a poem at the end <3

Click them for 1280×800.

At the End

They ask me how I’ll change this place
‘Cause life’s too short for us to waste
What is it you want to do?
At the end, what’s left of you?

I’m not a scientist or policeman
Nor a teacher or musical band
Not an engineer or psychologist
A doctor or radiologist

So I ask myself what’s important to me
What are those things that I wish to be?
I read a book and it makes me cry
Some deep, raw feeling deep inside

I see characters played out on screen
I fall in love with what they mean
I’m captivated by the creative spell
And all the stories that we must tell

For they’re a moment of escape
From the world we sometimes hate
They inspire and they make us think
Sometimes they’re that missing link

Make-believe can feel so real
They make us grow, they make us feel
Gives us faith we sometimes lack
What we lost can be given back

Inspiring hope in every soul
Those most timid can feel so bold
The kid with glasses in the back
Becomes our very own Superman

The girl who doesn’t like her smile
Can be beautiful for just a while
That boy they think won’t ever rise
Well, he’s a wizard in disguise

All my life this is what I’ve found
That stories make the world go round
So you ask me how to change the world
And I say ‘hey, I’m just one girl’

I won’t save lives or go to the moon
Chances are I won’t be you
Everyone’s different – we’re made that way
And life often feels like a theatre play

It may be tragedy or comedy
Some dramatic love story
So tell me what’s important to you
All the things you want to do

You can’t change the world until you’ve found
What makes your own world spin round, so
What is it you want to do?
At the end, what’s left of you?

Clana

Random clana wallies from my collection. These were made a while ago – oldies.

So, anyway, I was watching the movie “Twilight” for the second time today and as much as I hate to admit this, I really love it. I haven’t read the books (still refusing to conform, but dangerously close to doing so O_o), but the film was all kinds of hawt. I’m a sucker for the whole dark, forbidden, angsty romance (like that’s a revelation). Plus Rob Pattinson isn’t half-bad to look at either heh. The point is, I’m thinking of doing some Twilight arts. So fans of the books/movie, keep a look out. I know there are a lot of you out there =P

Give me a yell if I’ve already posted any of these. I can be forgetful that way… but yeah, these ones are oldies so they’re 1024×768. Enjoy, my clana friends <3 Next up: Twilight goodies.
