Paperweight Poetry

Your lips taste like all of the forevers that I'll never get to know  So kiss me now, before his onyx cape flits and the wind blows  Betroth your scepter lips with mine own before his staff shakes Before the sweetness of every death is felt in the last breath of my wake.  -anna sluder

Be brave little ones, For you are as indelible as the rays of the sun, You are more beautiful than all that you can see, And infinity cries at all the things you can be, And when God crafted you from the dust into the beloved children you are, He didn't mold you just from the ground; you were formed from the dust of stars, And one day you will be flames, more than just a spark, So hold on little darlings, for without you in this life, the world would go dark. -anna sluder

They always told us never to look directly into the sun, but as a child I always did. I used to think it would be an honor to be blind if I could  see something as beautiful as pure unparalleled light. But I know now the true reason why they never wanted us to look into the sun, because they want us to find the light within each other, and the light within ourselves, because I swear it's just as bright. -anna sluder
