finding

i’m falling

deep into

the pool i found,

deep blue depths

and streaks of

sunlight dancing

with shadows.

i’m watching these

new stars

i found,

the sparkle on

this newfound

story that i’ve

yet to read.

i’m cloaked in

this silk

i found

dark and

unique.

i breathe in

the misty breath

of personified

mourning, it

twirls with

the ultimate grace

in and out my

chest

i feel these

few flowers

i found, grow...

love within war

The smoke danced and spiraled around her yet I only noticed one thing.


The singular rose she held, nearly petal-less and limp.


A small bead of blood rolled down her index finger, she was knicked by one of the thorns.


Her face stoic, yet delicate.


She made her point and it stood- what is love if you’re not willing to fight for it?...

The Veil Of Whispered Spells

Beneath the crescent’s silver light,

Where shadows dance with stars at night,

A forest stirs, its secrets deep,

Where dreams awaken, yet never sleep.


The air is thick with whispered songs,

A haunting tune where time belongs.

Each leaf a rune, each branch a thread,

Weaving tales of the living and dead.


A phantom glow through the mist does weave,

Hints of wonders none believe.

The trees bend low a...

The Door

I want to open the door,

The door to enchantment—

Where every right step

A path of mystery opens.


Down the rose-covered roads,

Animals and fairies would scurry;

Bright magic before me

In a forest so adoring.


In the midst of the night,

Sounds of sweet sing

From the bubbly sea

And the swaying wind....

I Wonder.

What is mystery and why is it such a secret?


Well you see, mystery is the power of the unknown.


It’s not understanding something because maybe we just don’t believe.


Why does the Mona Lisa smile?


Why does Mona Lisa have the power to look at you each way you move in the picture?


Why do people go missing in the Bermuda triangle and they’re never seen again?


How was the collosseum built so...

Kiss Me

You’re kiss enchants me , leaves me breathless and weak. You were a drop of moonlight , a mystery , wrapped in the aura of November.

Come kiss me again....

Kiss Me

Come kiss me again...

Meeting The Wizard

They escaped down the narrow hallway dimly lit with candles emerging from the walls.


A powerful force blew past them and into the wall to their right. Just inches from death, they began sprinting even faster and swung a left.


Into the library, they bolted up the spiral staircase enveloped in vines and dissapeared amongst the towering shelves of books.


After an intense search, they finally stumb...

Enigma

It’s silly how humans work

The ways we contradict ourselves

It’s almost magical how stupid we can be

It’s mostly lost on ourselves

An equivalent, lesser or equal to

The rest of the mammals on this earth

How raw we are

How scared we are

How lost we are

We all are...

The End Of A Voided Love…

I drank and danced

the night away.

With the skeletons,

I could not sway.

Till the dawn rose up,

with blood in its teeth.

My soul no longer a virgin,

old faiths eclipse beneath...


I slept with midnight,

a corpse now, in the light.

Sex and agony painted

across my skin.

Those wounds growing

deeper with every new sin.

Upon my deathbed I

memorized the sky.

Until the first kiss from death...
