The swan glides silently across the placid lake, but beneath the surface the feet paddle ffuriously to reach the other side. Who can ever know what the other man is feeling deep down inside?

There is a swan in my heart and you cannot see it swimming there because you have never met me before. Yes, my lover, you do not know that the swan is you, and you never will.

this is the state of things
dirty business all around
no flight with clipped wings
for our sins we are bound
to a life sucking down mud
so then to free our tethers
we pay in swan’s blood
and pristine white feathers

oh black swan
how you dance
gracefully
across the stage
you twirl and spin
you are beautiful
you are perfect
if only you knew this
before
you did the
most regretable
thing in you
life
oh black swan

Swan-like she dove for me. Pulled me under, feet kicking. I was drowning before I could grow wings. Her face was my own and I gagged on her. Under the water, piano music sounds. My eyes grow wide and I burst for the glass, a shower of feathers, surface showered in white.

she looked into the lake, again the swan wasnt there, she wasnt suprised in the slightest Cassies swan hadnt been back, not since her best friend Krisy died last year, it was as if she had taken all of the bauty out of the world with her when she went.

Swan is a very cool word, it’s like a duck but much cooler. In fact it’s soo cool that the queen owns every swan in England. That’s pretty lame, cause if i got a swan it wouldn’t be mine it would be the Queens. Damn Queen. I want a swan. Well actually if the swan if technically the Queens if i stole one from a farm i could actually say that it was the Queens.

on the lake there is nothing but the wind, the frost, the chill of the night, and the chill of the day. but as the chill approached, as the ice was forming, the last swans straggled through, finding open water, reaching through for the life below the surface, always there, through the coldest times, the bleakest times, but not soon to be out of reach. the ice is the swan’s enemy and his motivation.

I saw the swan in a dream once. Its long, curved neck arched into the moonlight, blocking everything in my vision but shining, ebony eyes. I wanted something in that moment – I have yet to discover what, though.

ugliness becomes you
a gentle child born of grace
of beauty
your struggles will teach you
humility
perseverance
you will know the ache of betrayal
you will learn the joy of love
