Feel the hate
The evening sun faded away as a new sun rose They lived in eternal darkness but that’s the way things go Soles as black as the night sky Their both depressed but they don’t know why Hate each other till the end But she knows she’s her only friend Their kiss seals the air to a deadly fate For miles you can feel the hate
Beyond the shadows
“The evening sun faded away as the new sun rose. They lived in eternal darkness.” Mari was reminded of her grandmother’s dying words as she stood at a darkened bus stop. It had been twenty years roughly since she had heard her those words. Childish fears crept in to her mind. She started to see shapes in the shadows. She knew however it was just her mind playing tricks on her. Mari glanced down at her phone. It was now 9:57 pm her bus was ten minutes late. She grew annoyed as her battery kept counting down from the 7% she had left. She turned it off with a sigh and stared down the street in the direction the bus would appear from. However something drew her attention. She looked straight ahead of her across the street. The shadows were there playing tricks on her once more, conjuring the childhood monsters that plagued her nightmares. Only this time they formed a person. Mari couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman. The figure made the hair on the back of her neck rise. As she stared at it, it stared back at her in the same manner. As if it were afraid to move. Just as Mari felt at this moment. The calm night air turned wild as the wind began to rustle and blow though the trees. Mari’s heartbeat quickened with the sudden breeze. A faint whispering began in her ear. “One step.” First the right ear then the left. Whoever, whatever was whispering to her was circling her body. The tone was melodic. It was almost hypnotic in a way. Mari felt compelled to comply. The whispering persisted incessantly. Soon the words one step were repeating within Mari’s own mind. Her eyes were fallen half shut when Mari took her right foot off the curb to take the one step she now desperately needed to take. A loud horn snapped Mari out of her trance as her bus stopped directly in front of her. The air had calmed once more and the whispering ceased. She blinked a few times before quickly boarding the bus. Mari felt a safety being in the bright lights. She took a seat and the lights shut off once more. She looked to her left out the window. To where the figure was still standing. Only now she could see it was a man, Covered in swirling shadows. Mari could see a glimpse of bright red eyes glowing behind the swirling darkness as the bus sped off.
Eternal dLaIrGkHT(Dark Light)
On a artic night, when the fish froze
Life itself became endlessly trapped in a hole
With only a few matches and some dried up sticks
The frigid wind found its way to the small spark I ignited
Before I could sense the warmth I felt the breeze throughout my body
I stood up searching for something to heat up my body
The darkness had already taken everything away
I cuddled myself hoping for a minute change in temperature
Nothing happen — I laid there in the hole into I felt sleepy
Once I woke up I felt the eternal light within my soul
