Alone I cry
and tears cover these
blood-orange cheeks
two single lines of pain
showing of
'my life,
  my sorrow'

I walk the hazel of
this land
stooped like death
where grass and branches
scratch at my skin
they form
tiny tracks of nothing
not even my brows are amused
they remain
straight and thick over
shattered sight


my mind bruises against the
uneven edges of
  'this reality
   this silence'
and what remains
are only the memories
I'm my own stranger
complete with blurry reflections
of a childhood
I once knew

In my darkness
I fade away
the sun rise is wasted
and it's setting
pale
only the moon
though dim
tweaks a glow
in the filmy night
to comfort me

Oh wow this one hit me hard. Well done the two of you!!!!!!
That came out even better than I ever expected it to....you two worked quite well together. Once again....wow on it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Did you two cheat?--- Spend like hours on the phone together??---   This is really really good,,  

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.

This is very dramatic, lots of emotion in it... which is hard to do as a collaboration.  Very well done, it's quite obvious that the two of you really connected when you wrote this.

Wow... this one knocked me off of my feet. I can really feel the emotion in this one. Great work, you two. Thanks for sharing.

GAWD!!!  This is amazing.  You couldn't even tell the difference between each stanzas.  I am assuming you 2 took your turn.  ~*stands up and applauds*~

Proof....the whole may indeed be greater than the sum of its parts. The very fact that two let their writing coalesce...that is magic.
