Another Girl's Paradise.

By: Naomi Hunter.

*You caught me lingering

In another girl's paradise

The way she paints

The world—

I want that in my

Life

Emeralds, you should know,

Are renting in her meadow

With a stroke

Beauty lives

How could I resist

You are Desire*

I sat there with her, just pulling my fingers through her fine blue hair. A content sigh escaped my lips, as my other hand stroked hers. It was a gorgeous night, not a cloud in the sky and the moons and stars were shining brightly. When I was with Rhyss, it was the only time I was truly happy. She was the only thing that made me happy. Raven couldn't give me any kind of feeling like this, besides, he had Van. I loved him too much to love him like that. Rhyss purred softly, snuggling into me. Out here, there was nothing but us, rocks, and sky.

*When it is all said

Said and done

Who can Love you and

Still be standing…

Can I take from you

And not keep taking…

Does it all come down to

The thing one girl fears

In the night

Is another girl's paradise*

Out here, there was no pain, no suffering, no loneliness, or longing. Here, my brother was still with me, Raven was my childhood playmate, Prozen and Hiltz were my fathers, my birthmother would be some ethereal spirit, floating around me, full of love and my real one didn't exist.

*Through twists and turns

Jasmine foxed me

In her grove

Arms filled with

Honeybells, St. Michaels

Sanford Bloods*

I hated to think of him while we were alone, but, it was impossible; he haunted me always. I couldn't understand why he would imprison us like that. Neither of us could fathom why. I tried to remember if he ever was kind, if he ever loved us, but I drew nothing. So, in my mind, I was now alone, no mother, no father, no brother, no best friend.

*"You have come to discover

What you want"

What I want is not to

Want what isn't mine

"But I am Desire"*

I wanted to think it was that other Zoidian's fault, so I did. I made myself believe he was cruel because of her and her sordid dream. So, I hated her; hated how I always felt her, whispering, coaxing. I vowed I'd never be hers, but of course, I had no choice. We were all hers.

*When it all is said

Said and done

Who can Love you and

Still be standing…

Can I take from you

And not keep taking…

Does it all come down to

The thing one girl fears

In the night

Is another

Girl's

Paradise*

Rhyss touched my face gently, staring at me with her beautiful blue eyes.

"What are you thinking, my love?"
"Can't you tell? You are a mind reader."
"I was hoping for it to be of me." she pouted as I smiled.

"I'm sorry." I didn't know what to say, but she kissed me, both hands cupping my face. I could hear her now, whispering to me.

//Humor me, Meara, think of me?

They all matter not, just think of me, please…//

I smiled again, trailing my fingers down her somewhat bare spine, due to the chemise-y blouse she wore.

"I do, I do." I protested as she pouted again almost, sinking into my embrace. I was content, for once in my short life. I was only 16 and I had already had enough pain to last a lifetime and knew it wouldn't end there.

Rhyss pulled my hair out of the pony tail, letting it fall over my shoulders in soft amber waves. She smiled and kissed all across my face, whispering to me gently.

"Love me, please."

*Does it all

Come down to

The thing one

Girl fears

In the night

Is another girl

Is another girl

Is another girl's paradise.*
