When Kitty's in a Funny Mood...

... something like this happens.
A Collection of Poems by Kittyluvver
== Shatterglass ==
I was once the dragonet who breathed my heart
into ceramic and glass and metal
where it might live and be safe for a while
I poured my worries into a gummy marmalade jar
my hopes in a dry bottle of sparkling water
my fears in an empty tin soda can
and most precious of all
my memories in a tiny little china vase
And i was safe and happy, because it was all gone
it was all hidden and i could pretend i was okay
pretend that everything was going to be fine
And yet i know that one day, someday
someone’s going to come in
someone’s going to find me
and someone’s going to break the glass
someone’s going to shatter the jar
and smash the bottle and empty the can
and open that tiny little china vase
and i’ll drown
.
== The NightWings Tell Their Dragonets... ==
The NightWings tell their dragonets a story
a story about the fourth moon
which was shattered and scattered across the night
velvet to make all of the stars
all of those sharp edges glittering light
The story goes that there was a mighty king
who loved his queen so much, so very much that
he flew up to the moon and brought it down
and he gave it to her, but she was unfaithful
and he was angry, so angry that
he broke the moon
And now no one can fly past the sky anymore
because if you try all those sharp edges will cut you
tear you to shreds
and you’ll fall
Once I tried to fly, flying so high
that the air faded to nothing, the clouds all under my wings
at the rim of the sky, and the edge of my loneliness
the edge grew so sharp and thin it cut my mouth
and filled my chest with vapor and tears
and I realized once you get that high there’s nowhere to go
but down
so I folded my wings and I fell and fell
and I’m still falling
but I see
and I learn
and I know 
that not all trees are lonely, not all insects should be killed
and there’s more to books than paper and ink
and that you don’t need wings to fly
and yet I wonder
maybe it’s just a story
but at least if I tried to clean up this mess
dragons can finally walk across the sky
without worrying about cutting themselves
on all this broken glass
so if I gather it all up
all those broken stars
and put them back together, what would happen?
I wouldn’t have another moon, no
I would just have bloody glass
just more cuts on my paws
.
== Silver Skies, Golden Rain ==
.
Silver skies, golden rain
the silent dusk, the windowpane
the spirit of the morning slain
never to come home again
Silver skies, shattered eyes
the swallow’s wingbeats as it flies
so heed thee not the children’s cries
their whispered words are only lies
Silver skies, memories yield
we know our fate is surely sealed
and yet our wounds will not have healed
come sunset on the battlefield
Silver skies, requiems sing
who knows what cold dawn light will bring?
but winter comes on silent wing
i will not live to see the spring
.
== Where the Twilight Ends ==
.
There is a place where the twilight ends
And before the dawn begins
Where night and day are but the same
Sun and starlight by one name
Where gentle falls the autumn rain
On the wings of the soft summer winds
Where the sapphire eyes of butterflies
Flutter high, to kiss the sky
Where spoken words and crumpled wings
And tossed with other broken things
And yet I wonder, wonder why
your nightingale heart is not silent
like mine
