The little mermaid closed her eyes, wishing to be closer to the humans.

The sea witch, instead of giving her a pair of legs, put her in a fish-tank.

Without mayonnaise, I stand no chance to touch your lips.

I stepped on your gum... and kept it.

In chess (and life), the king must sacrifice the pawn - to win.

There's something I never told you. And I think I never will...

Yesterday we celebrated life. Today - death. 

The tiny embryo inspected the amniotic fluid surrounding it.

It wondered what it would become. 

I'm not lost! I'm just playing hide and seek with life. 

^sometimes^

planets align

These exploded out of me today... I couldn't stop it. 

1.

Close your eyes so you can see - the world in brighter colors.&n...

The camera captured my spirit and replayed it forever. 

P.S. It's what I imagine would happen if one dies in front of a camera. <3

At age eight you may learn that Mums and Dads have special songs to which they dance and kiss... and that radios are really time machines. 

He knew just the spot to test his wings:

the place his dream was first conceived. 

P.S. Meh, this needs further REmixing. ...

I like you more than breathing. 

I kissed your eye under the giggling mistletoe.

She didn't wink or blink

as she was morbidly afraid

the world would evaporate. 

P.S. While I LOVE the story as it i...

So you see,

by pulling at his legs

and playing at his dreams,

She lies covered in white dust,

apple in hand, morsel in mouth.

Coroner shakes head in...

The white rabbit followed Alice, the fish. 

I know a place where dreams are reality

and reality is just a dream.

They played rock paper scissors to assign towers.

The game seemed to last forever,

and...

he wished the world knew

about his magic buttons

The world is full of flowers for the living.

She makes bouquets for the dead.

At night her flowers whispered tiny stories.

When they finally ran out, she had to let them go,

As we lay naked in bed, he took his time to connect my freckles. 

Let's dance

with our masks on

a little longer...

His job was to deal the cards, never play them. He was known as the Man in the Herringbone Hat, but the players called him God.

The next card he pulled out of his hat could potentially end the world or make soup.

But he always saw his hat as half-full. 

The tiny stories couldn't believe how easy it was

to fool the tiny humans that they had made them up.

(When clearly it was the other way around.)

Careful not to judge the books by their covers, she entered the bookstore blindfolded.

Truth is,

the world can go without

a lot of things.

Every time it rains I pray

I don't step on any snails.

His eyes still adjusting to the light,

he wondered if the world was black and blurry,

...

While Death is busy collecting souls,

Little Death is only interested in sex.

They had said 'cheese' so many times that their house filled with mice. 

They spent their lives waiting for the bus that never came. 

The door separated her two worlds: Fantasy and Reality. Sadly, she couldn't tell them apart.

P.S. I've been toying with the words, but I'm not happy. Anyone up for...

When she's in the land of fantasy,

reality awaits on the other side.

Sometimes she wis...

Every time a bus came round,

they simply said, 'next one'. 

But the longer they s...

The owl knew a lot about the world,

yet the world knew nothing of the owl.

Her beauty was blinding so she decided to go live with the stars. They were the only ones who weren't intimidated by her light. 

The non-conformist clam never smiled. 

The Universe was cranky because they didn't have her size at the store.

Apparently, she'd expanded too much. 

The road not taken had an identity crisis. You see, someone had taken it. 

can you hear it

twist and scream

'release me'

...

Society told her to fall in love, settle down, and have kids... so she did.

Sadly, she never wanted any of it. 

She knew it was somewhere under the piles and piles of masks she wore and changed every day, but try as she might, she never found her face.

-OR-

 ...

The shrink had two very curious clients. While Darren disclosed he had dreams within dreams, Sonia stated she would constantly wake up while she was awake! 

She floated in a sea of red. It brought her both comfort and distress. 

The mischievous TV often lit up in the middle of the night, pretending to be aliens.

I find meaning in most things.

You find meaning in nothing.

Can't you see we're meant ...

a little girl can shine

and a tiny star can smile

Every planet has the potential to grow a rose,

just like every heart has the potential to love.

i love your

inky fingertips

and coffee stains 

The alchemist struck gold. 

The tiny puzzle piece

tore one of its limbs

so it could fit better.

The artist was known to pour his soul on the canvas, so she came prepared. 

The family was rather shocked to catch the fish halfway to the lake.

They hanged from the cliff for so long that they'd forgotten how to let go.

Born in two worlds, you only die once. There's your silver lining.

-OR-

The Earth was tired

of the Moon's informal wear,

so she made him wear a suit

Please mind the gap between the dream and the Universe edge.

-OR-

Please mind the gap between this dream and the Universe's edge.

The inside joke was agoraphobic, so it never made it in the outside world.

We both love words 

but right now 

silence is sexier.

Wise men say,

'to plant in your mind

is to reap in your life'.

I pray not for myself

but for the others,

that they be aware.

Today, it was the damsel's turn to save the pirate in distress. 

The wolf felt sheepish that day so he dressed accordingly.

-OR-

This is my face. Take it or leave it.

When she asked, all he could muster was: mouth contorted in non-answer, nose indifferent, eyes aghast. No wonder she left in a flush...

A centipede has a hundred destinations: one for each leg.

I couldn't wait to get there. 

The day has come

to put her puddle shoes on.

Stop and smell the tulips. Every one of them.

When life gives you tulips, make sure you smell them all. 

&nb...

You cannot fly on borrowed wings,

sang the Choir to the Reaper.

He was made of many parts, none of which his own. 

There is sadness 

in a hybrid's eyes.

Sometimes it shows, 

Happiness will

paint on smiles

most of the time.

He kept his paints and brushes in his briefcase. 

In time, rain will wash away your childhood dreams, replacing them with worry, which then you must replace with hope, so you don't get washed away completely.

In the library, there is a book... in the book, there is a sentence... in the sentence, there is a name - my own. If you find it, I am yours.

1. He found the missing link, but then he forgot all about it. 

2. His big dreams fueled his tiny stories.

Fear does not confine or define; it refines.

P.S. Inspired by TheSerpentTheCharmer illustration/poem. :)

Just before it goes extinct, the freshwater fish makes a final break for the ocean...

...and it succeeds.

1. Every time he listened to the soundtarck of his life, he felt alive.

Even though he was standing still.

2. The sountrack of one's...

'I feel, therefore I think I am,'

says the seasonally affected man.

She was diagnosed with 'fear of stepping on snails', which she couldn't spell.

Lulled to sleep by showers,

blanketed by cozy clouds,

They say the best things come in threes.

Same goes for the worst.

The crows of suicide cannot contaminate a healthy mind.

If I wanted to know you, I wouldn't be looking at the things you have. I'd explore the things you've lost.

Her next temporary home was waiting. Her temporary heart rejoiced.

Everything I have - old and new - is borrowed. Now I just need something blue.

She saved her real name for someone special, and she loved making up new names. But that someone never came... and she ran out of names. 

the reaper looked at his list, dumbfounded,

every bird equalled a death in the ...

She remembered a quote,

'a woman must have a room of her own...'

the balloon heard a champagne bottle pop in the distance. the shock killed it. 

Overhead,

the bare branches caress
