Frozen hands clutch warm flesh;
Frenzied with heat;
Whispers of death rake my mind as they grasp;
I can’t stand this bitter frost;
The gloom of winter on my burning soul;
They try to repress my bloom;
Take me under chilled gloom;
Down below, down below;
They take me to the devils throne;
...
Lost with the passing of time;
Months, years and eternity;
Gathering dust like a forgotten book;
Pages with wilted words;
Who will find me in this void?
My throat aches with call of aid, yet I still weep here alone;
I am torn and incomplete;
A fading story on the shelf....
We are not the living,
Nor we, the dead,
Upon the mortal we have fed.
With fluid cloaks of silken night,
We hunt our prey where foe is light,
And wandering through mists of gloom,
In the dimming silence, we there loom,
With razor teeth, we are blessed,
We have not lived,
Yet, we see death....
Eyes as bright as a dewy morning;
Staring down its prey;
Filled with a determination fiercer than fire;
The animal flexed its muscles and dug the ground with its claws;
Gradually, it stole forward not making a sound;
It breathed evenly;
Running;
Powerful legs moving;
Startled victim in gr...
Crackling in my mind, a restless thought;
Glaring eyes, burning ruby;
Scorching the soul to an ashen silhouette;
Licking the life from its love;
Famine ignited;
Devouring all;
Nothing left but charcoal land;
Diminish my embers, fade into dust;
Death is your world;
Nothing but loss....
Strokes of scarlet mar the eternal pallid lake;
Veiled by shame and seclusion;
Plea of succour unheeded, unheard;
Drowning in the despair of fatal life;
Blind with dusk that lay ever on ink lashes;
Death steals breath and blood....
Sun filtered through foliage,
Mist glittered on shades of emerald.
Towers of tanned strength broke the ether of my reverie,
Breathe my gentle soul,
The earth rushes into my veins,
Rich nourishment.
Trill of feathered kindred,
Slip into the steam of my dream.
Verdant haze.
Forest slumber....
Silent as a lonely midnight,
Serene and rippling with the breathe of the sleeping.
Peace is an eternity in the depths of liquid sapphire.
A world of content is the silence of tranquilty.
The waters mirror sun in twilight.
Calm and quiet sea.
...
A heaving snarl, an angered roar.
The ocean ra...
Long and fair, a stream ripples through the air.
Delicate as silk, stronger than steel.
Gleam of water in the dewy sun, a gem in the glance of morning.
Invisible in the night, the moon, the one and only image.
Sway in the breeze, swell with motion.
Throat embellished with crystal necklace.
The...
Beating down like relentless whips, the sun lashes out like a jealous lover.
I am its slave, its puppet, held in hot grasps of wind like strong fists.
My movement is not my own, and my speech is foreign to my ears.
Summer has infested me with heat and disease.
Take me away from this mist of mela...
The castle was built with meticulous hands;
Walls of fragile fawn;
Proud and striking, it stood like a king;
Encircled with water that sparkled as molten gold in the topaz sun;
A glittering star shone above the inhabitants heads.
Filling their world with bliss.
...
Chilled spears struck the ...
The subtle hum of yellow blooms on the edge of the world;
Light leaks through the canopy of leaves, speckling the jade with shattered sun;
Farewell the night, for it has been shunned by mornings rays;
Moon is but a faded memory in the sky, visible but hollow without glooms blanket;
But no one mo...
Pale blue flushed with kindling pink;
Clouds shattered on the broken sky;
Horizon chilled with hazy azure;
Silent waters reach out for distance peak;
Lapping onto unsteady land;
Taking it into the deeps of eternal sea;
No surface reflections noticed in the darkness;
No sunrise flickering in t...
Blinded by the ecstasy;
The mirth, and mayhem of wonder;
Blinded by the insanity of my joy;
Days of awe and craze;
But slowly, my eyes clear;
And my perception is enlightened;
I was never a first choice;
I was just what was left;
Scraped off the bottom;
And we beca...
Drifting in the morn of my summer dream;
Swirls of lustre brighten only my mind;
Damp sounds echo in my ears;
Flying in the sea;
Slow movement, leisurely breath;
Substitute for death;
World of splendour;
Creation of own self;
Clothes of cloud;
Skin of silk;
Caressing ea...
Mist slithers on the earth;
Ghosts haunt the night;
Grave tombs cast shadows on the lingering dead;
Twisted souls glare;
Wisps of memory dance in the gloom;
No one is there in the void;
But their non-existence fills up the vacancy;
Stalked, but alone;
Forever in the sight of someone not ther...
I don’t understand why I feel this, but I do;
Lost in the sea of my life, the time spent;
And for what? Nothing, it seems.
Friends steal everything;
They ruin everything;
Pretend it’s all okay when you feel like screaming;
But you pretend too;
Because what’s the point?
All I am, they a...
Smear the tears of crystal past;
Smudge of ink;
And flows the night river of grief;
...
Silent mourns;
My heart laments;
Death is my one companion;
...
We, together, drink fear;
Consume woe;
Feeding on devastation;
...
Dull are my eyes;
Reflecting my soul;
T...
Ebb and flow…
The tranquil waves glisten in the night.
The whispers of the world echo silently.
The quiet breath, inhaling and exhaling…
The river rushes on, incessant in its course.
Trees sway back and forth.
The grass, an arcing flood of green,
With the sparkles of dew glittering upon t...
A youth was nurtured;
And as it grew, beauty surrounded it;
Buds clung to its flesh;
Roses burst like blood;
Shimmering like morning haze.
…
The petals wilted;
Their once luscious beauty now was crusted wounds;
The petals fell like red snow;
The rosebush was dying;
Flowers encircled it,...
The rain drummed on the cold window pane;
Her eyes gazed beyond;
The frozen grass;
To a place where joy encases,
And mirth swirls in the soul;
Where sunshine glittered on silver pools;
And reflected the love of all;
Rain drummed on the window;
And the girl smiled;
A rainbow illuminated the ...
The fire scorches;
The ice encases;
They boil and freeze;
And consume the living;
With icy glares they produce fear;
With fiery eyes and spiteful leers;
Molten lava bubbles liquefied stones;
Frosting over death;
And together, they rule forever, with both decency and vice;
They cover the lan...
The darkness creeps over the mountains;
Shunning the light into the void;
The stars sparkles, the moon glows;
But still the darkness prevails;
And obscures the gleam with gloomy veil;
Night feeds on the earth like a starved creature;
Sharp teeth;
Blood ink;
Midnight darkness forever;
Ensnar...
Locking glances;
Eyes so bright;
Lost in the moment of our first sight;
Curling lips;
Beauty etched on your features;
Ruffled hair in the moonlight;
One step forward;
No turning back;
Holding eyes like hands;
So close, I can smell your scent;
Fragrance of an angel;
H...
The bitter wind roars a merciless tune;
And pressing clouds hide crescent moon;
Black and white;
Peaceful night;
We both endure the cold;
But now death is upon your shoulders;
An eternal slumber awaits you;
Silent sleep, silent sleep, silent sleep;
Frozen heart, no racing bea...
