When those magnificent creatures appeared in front of me, I felt no fear.

Gleaming white fur that contrasted against the browns and greens of the forest, their bright blue eyes pierced through me. I am not like the rest of so-called civilization, I know better than to demonize these beings; they are so full of love and joy and are everything that humanity is missing.

Still, I knew to stay where I ...

One sees all the twinkling lights

And assume that they are lonely

They seem so far apart

But are truly close together

The assumption is they are cramped

Fighting over space, but that’s not true

They flit around each other and hold hands

They touch and smile

They are happy and love seeing the others happy too...

One could argue that life is a curse

Day after day we just plop along

Like farmers through their animals leavings

We search for love and disappointment is found

Working long hours for peanuts

Just for a chance of nourishment and shelter

Is it really worth it all?...

You look around to see everything dead and gone

An absence of colour that is noticeable

The world is a cold void, a lonely path to walk

The journey is endless, the walk is long

But after some time, the colours come

Vibrant and beautiful

Yet only for a time before they brighten more and more

Then they dull and the cycle begins again...

She enjoyed the feeling of snow flowing through her hands as she picked it up and threw it in the air.

The bare trees around her were quiet as they witnessed her fun, their dead sticks lay on the ground pitifully, brown and light green against the white. The grey clouds were fat and the snow seemed endless, but she paid no heed. She heard a noise and turned to see her favourite wolf pack were gaz...

My insides were in knots as I drove to my sisters’ place. Her voice on the phone was icy and she’d never used that tone with me before; surely she hadn’t called because she found out…no, I had to calm down, there was no way that anyone would know about that, especially not her.

The feeling hadn’t abated even when I pulled up into her driveway and walked up to her door. The door opened as I knocke...

We had to wave goodbye

Separated for a short passage of time

Hoping that it will pass soon

It slowly ticked by

Miles and miles of distance

I still waited and knew you did too

My prayers would be answered

And they were

Time had stretched long

But hope hadn’t been given up

And the reward was handed down

As we embraced for eternity...

A lone girl sits in the grass

Gazing at the twinkling sky

Wondering at the intricacies of life

She could feel the magic in the air

Wondering what mysteries awaited her future...

Once, there was a dark and gloomy house

It was empty, cold

Clouds rose above, rain was constant

Sadness permeated through its aura

People came to look and then went away

Until one gave it a chance

They opened the doors

Sweetness floated in

Light followed

They stayed a long time, but it wasn’t the end

Still today, the song of the birds can be heard outside the window...

One is huddled up in a place so dark

With the figures in white who taunt

Laughter echoed about the room

The noise is deafening

The taunts are relentless

Worthlessness is felt

Perhaps the voices are right

Maybe it is time to end it all...
