I'm BAAAACK!

So, first of all, HELLO EVERYONE! I am alive, as you may have noticed, I disappeared from the blog world for quite awhile. And it was mostly grad school killing my soul and devouring my heart and making my life nearly miserable but my brain explode with information, so in a way it was a great thing!

So to make up for my absence, I will share with you the many things I have been writing the past month since Grad School ended and GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK- well sorta. I will try to post one poem or potential rap a day this month, and hopefully you faithful and lovely people, will forgive me for my absence. :D

I love you all and I have not forgotten you!!!

Here is the first one.

Vampire Hearts

Your perfect teeth have an infectious way of smiling at me,

not the innocent and pure smile of an ignorant 5 year old,

but a wide grin, full of mystery and chosen happiness,

you too have given up on your heart strings,

as they have led you astray,

to empty mornings after passionate filled nights,

to vacant souls who know not how to love, care,

support, appreciate, and surely they lack compassion.

You have chosen me:

a stable, caring, deep love,

that comes from the mind and possibly the soul,

rather than the ignorant heart,

who lights herself on fire at any given moment,

chasing childish dreams of scripted love,

not thinking about the consequences,

the future,

nor the heartbreak that will follow.

After she has devoured her victim,

masticated fully and thoroughly,

only to spit you out

when she becomes hungry again for change,

for excitement,

chasing the rush of new and lost love,

she is a vampire, a zombie, a soulless creature,

feasting on the love of others,

winks and smiles to tempt her,

destroying even her own soul just to capture another’s.

We have chosen to ignore

the inconsistent fluttering of the fleeting heart,

and rather chosen to grow, laugh, and explore together,

to care, love and support one another,

down the crazy paths we shall face in the world as others laugh,

having found their own version of love

to tame their own

vacant hearts.
