Dancing in the woods
The girls raced barefoot throughout the forest.
their shrieks of delight a delicate chorus.
constantly laughing, their voices carried on the backs of fairies.
Their faces red and sticky from the wild strawberries
The older ones smile and steady steps shook the strongest of wills, causing them to follow her graceful dance and thrills
The younger ones eyes glowed like a rain dr...
we may have lost the battle, but we have not lost the war
blood now splattered on the floor,
the cry of widows now adorned the streets
daughters without their fathers
sons without their chosen ones
soon you’ll see, love isn’t free
i see you there, on the field, of war
broken and bloody
my heart no longer soars
i no longer can keep score
the enemy is coming
but you have left me, kneelin...
Myra
she has a heart made of gold
a spirit whose stories are always being told
dependent on the extraordinary
different from what is customary
she feels emotion stronger than the rest of us
whose love reaches the most undeserving of us
her eyes hold riches the world has ever seen
her power strong, just like a mighty queen
and her laughter, a medicine to the soul
her smile is contagious, somethin...

violet’s eyes are sapphire blue.
beatrice’s eyes are a heavenly hazel.
silas’s eyes are a smokey blue.
jane’s eyes are hazel like a lion.
rowan’s eyes change from deep green to elegant blue
rebecca’s eyes are a vulminous green.
odette’s eyes are green like a field.
but
there is beauty in the dark
like how jessie’s eyes are brown like amber.
or how marcellus’s eyes resemble honey.
or even how mon...
I was staring my lover’s murderer. It was a battle of will power, and I was losing. There was an evil look in their eye, and that smile, so long and grotesque. I shivered. Their face was sharp and keen. So unbelievably smart to be able to evade the police for over 5 months. I wanted to scream. To take a step back, to run away, to call for help, but I just stood still. So unbelievably still. My lim...
Lyn ran. Faster than she had ever ran in her entire life, and she kept going. She kept going when the roads turned into dirt paths, and the paths disappeared into grassy plains. Tears were streaming down her face, and she sobbed all the while she ran. Edyin’s dead. Those words echoed through her now empty heart, and Lyn recalled the time when she heard her baby sister laugh for the first time, tha...
“Shut up, Bronwyn!” Rowan yelled, shoving his twin sister to the side. She laughed a laugh that made the devil himself shiver. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. “If both of you don’t shut your mouths, I will drop you both in Whitetail River!” Rowan straightened his beige shirt that complimented his pale complexion, while Bronwyn quickly fixed her bleached blonde hair that rivaled the snow in w...
I see you so high above
You don’t even notice, I want your love
You can’t even seem to deem me worthy enough send me your soul
We used to be inseparable now I’m afraid you’ve left me to be dull
Forgive me for being stupid enough for thinking I held your heart
Well, you still hold my heart
Now is it so wrong, for your former lover to wish to hold your hand once more
Or is it unacceptable? Is it a...
Born to run
I was born to run. To feel the wind in my hair and to smell like smoke. I was born to run. To feel my lungs and throat catch fire. To scream a raspy but proud victory cry. Oh, to whip through the world with only my bare feet and the piercing sky at my back. Yes, I do believe I was born to run. But when I slow down, when I start to feel the aches and pains that echoed through my body, ...
