Once, a maiden came here And plucked a bloo... - Poetry > BalladA message in a bottle Floating on glass water Dream-like on the ocean As a castle in the air The sound of quiet thunder And water torn asunder A fantasy of glass Within a fragile sphere A desperate, grasping hope, The survivor’s heart must cope Bobbing like a sea bird Atop the swe...
- Poetry > Song LyricsIf somehow I have failed you, Let it be known: how hard I tried, I do not know what could have ailed you, It was so sudden when you died.

- Poetry > Free VerseI'm wishing on a smile beneath the whimsey of the moon I've traveled many a weary mile hoping to make my dreams come true. But every wish needs a shooting star And I've yet to find one, though I've traveled far, So instead I'm wishing on a smile, and hoping it to be ...

- Poetry > BalladThere came a splendid ship Decked in fools’ gold and silver lies A grand and regal falsehood That drowned out the rhythm of the tides. Your eyes sparkled with visions of diamonds But I knew that they were made of glass. Despite all of that golden finery, I knew that none of it would la...
- Poetry > BalladQueenly and yet fierce, Regal, cool, composed, Her sharp, yet distant eyes once pierced The deserts of Egypt long ago. A remnant of her beauty remains Outlasting even shifting sands A shattered reminder of the queen That once reigned over the black land. Dark and deep Like pools of glass ...

- Fiction > Historical FictionI closed my eyes and felt the warmth of the sun on my face. I breathed deeply, knowing that each breath of air brought me ever closer to my last.

- Poetry > Free VerseYou lured me into the shadows, With honeyed words and gilded lies I was a fool to think that I was free Before your flocks of crows blackened the skies.

- Poetry > BalladNot a whisper, Not a word, Nor a page to call my own, Lost without a friend, Without a song, Without a home.

- Poetry > All PoetryThe night is cool, The sky is clear, The stars are bright And dawn is near. I look up to the heavens And behold the sparkling skies, For every soul a star, For every star a life.

- Poetry > All PoetryThe wind that whispers through these ancient trees Has the same breath as the new sea breeze. For the moment the hourglass is turned the sand begins to slip away, And the sun that sets today Will rise again tomorrow. The stars move across the sky, Like pale, sparkling, dazzling gems, Ever ...
- Poetry > All PoetryWhen I went to sleep last night, I was friendless and forlorn, The rain outside my window, Like falling tears did mourn. It pounded the earth like the feet of soldiers Tired and battle worn. Hailstones hit the roof Like the bullets of machine guns And I asked myself, as men lay dying Wou...
- Poetry > All PoetryThe clods of dirt pounded like thunder, And the rose petals fell like rain, Like the teardrops fell from my eyes, And I knew As I beheld that grey, bleak sky, That I would never be the same again. Your casket fills a grave But you’ve left behind a void. I try to be happy. I try to be brav...
- Poetry > Free VerseThe aspens sway gracefully, Like dryads in the breeze, The same gentle wind Whispers through their golden leaves.

- Poetry > All PoetryThe last of Summer passes Gold and green and fair, Gentle wind cool and sweet Swirls through the damp warm air.
