A fire sets the horizon alight in a marvelous glow; a gradient reaching from a sea of sky to a sea of flame. The sky, like fresh-squeezed wine hangs on to the last fading remnants of her color before that celestial ball of fire sinks below the level horizon to feed a forgotten hemisphere which now hungers for the daylight. Our corner of the world gradually turns to shade, unveiling numerous brilli...

DARKNESS, so black it made his eyes water. The boy tried to keep his head above the impenetrable shadow, craning his neck to see even a faint ember of light. But the darkness was interminable and it made no difference where he looked; up, down, left, right, the darkness followed him like a parasite feeding off his every thought, his ...
I the wanderer,
You the thief
Stole my joy, my
Soul, my sleep.
Rest to the weary?
For me there's none.
I see it clearly,
The ill you've done.
I was once laden
With friends so true,
But now they've faded
All after you.
Who shall I turn to?
What shall I gain?
Shall this dark sorrow
Be all in vain?
We once were brothers,
Would we never end.
No longer I long for
You, twisted friend....
This is not necessarily about love at first sight, but love at first conversation:
I turned my back on a rainy night
To, lonely, go indoors.
But a sweet “hello” from your voice
Made me stop and turn.
I had never spoken to you before that night,
But one quick word with you, I knew…
I need you.
It doesn’t matter how long it takes
Or how much pain I have to go through
To get back to you.
Because...
I stumbled down a path
To your house.
The darkness barricading me
Behind and before.
My footsteps tread upon
The bodies of your victims,
But naivety consumed
My one-track mind.
Lust was all I knew
And as I opened your door,
I plunged unknowingly into death.
As I looked into your eyes,
I saw my future go up in flames.
A wife and children, never to be,
An intimate love never to be conceived.
I died ...
This one was one I wrote just before my high school graduation. It’s more about leaving my school and friends than beginning a new adventure, but hope it still works.

Finality’s sharp blade severs the divide,
Close thou the curtain, cast the time aside,
The time we hoped for comes, ‘tis near at hand,
And now the hourglass, running out of sand,
Brings back good times and mem...
[Reads like a rap]
I’ve gone through so many trials and pains
Of wanting to be somewhere I am not
I thought it loss, instead it’s gain,
Now I’m content with what I’ve got.
I don’t chase after love,
It brings false hope
I don’t brood in the shadows
Where I can fall prone to
The darkness
And the empty
That I felt so long ago.
For being unloved, I thought,
Was all I’d ever know.
But I was wrong
So w...
I’ve walked in shadows, swum in tears,
Drunk with madmen, been stalked by fears,
Where’s the profit for my years?
This prodding question my conscience sears,
Without a trace then disappears.
Moreo'er my dying day draws near
Be it so howe’er unclear.
What shall I know? What shall I gain?
Scourged by sorrow, stung by pain,
Shunned by love’s undying flame,
Yes, e’en love turned her face away,
Turned...

These pages were evil.
I threw my manuscript down on the ground, scattering unbound white pages across the room. I put my head in my hands. I'd have to reorganize this now.
"But why?" Something inside of me wondered, "Why not give up? Why not live life in the dark? Why not forget the things, the horrid truths written on these pages? Live a life of solace, Simon, but do not finish and especially ...
