"Did you ever dance with the Devil by the pale moonlight?"
Girl Indigo:
Shattered glass sparkles
through a broken window
refracting reflections
into backlit hallways
deep, deep inside, flashing
strophic light, then dark.
A figure, a shape moves
into and out of shadow
a child, a woman reverberates
in silhouette.
Broken nail, broken heart
her hair, dyed jet black, fades
in heartbeats and tears.
She is here, she is now
screaming forever.
Dimensionless and expanding
beyond the edge of visible light
she hovers in her own luminescence
untouchable, yet yearning an embrace
Beyond a grasp, colors fail
pastels wither and crimsons bleed
into neutral shades of gray
as she absorbs the sun
into her deepest indigo.
(by James M. Thompson)

Lady Vamp : "You were wild once. Don't let them tame you." (Isadora Duncan) Posted 9 hours ago view more
Your soul is painted the colour red, which embodies the characteristics of love, strength, physical energy, sex, passion, courage, protection, excitement, speed, leadership, power, danger, and respect. Red is the color of the element Fire, and is associated with blood, life and death, birth, volcanoes, and intense emotions.
Who I'd like to meet: other Indigo Children / other goths and vampires / souls who walk the Dark path / souls who live within the Night.
Not long ago, the writer of these lines, In the mad pride of intellectuality, Maintained "the power of words"–denied that ever A thought arose within the human brain Beyond the utterance of the human tongue: And now, as if in mockery of that boast, Two words–two foreign soft dissyllables- Italian tones, made only to be murmured By angels dreaming in the moonlit "dew That hangs like chains of pearl on Hermon hill," Have stirred from out the abysses of his heart, Unthought-like thoughts that are the souls of thought, Richer, far wilder, far diviner visions Than even seraph harper, Israfel, (Who has "the sweetest voice of all God's creatures,") Could hope to utter. And I! my spells are broken. The pen falls powerless from my shivering hand. With thy dear name as text, though bidden by thee, I cannot write–I cannot speak or think- Alas, I cannot feel; for 'tis not feeling, This standing motionless upon the golden Threshold of the wide-open gate of dreams. Gazing, entranced, adown the gorgeous vista, And thrilling as I see, upon the right, Upon the left, and all the way along, Amid empurpled vapors, far away To where the prospect terminates–thee only.
Thank you for a great year. Your friendship is what keeps us going and cannot wait to see what 2010 brings us. Wish you and your loved ones the best year ever - Live to Scream w/ creepshowmayhem.com
