Remember

It came upon the high tide, here, we've nowhere to hide; now afar, on the other side, rests an ocean so short of lies! Poseidon dreams upon the storm we've begat from stolen trees; what it leaves? we cannot believe! ... as frozen is the forgotten truth ...

Love Did Never Consume Me

Steps Fall Silent

Faces red as the roses fall; we catch the rainbow where the rivers do glow! Thorns peel the skin of hearts! Wrens sing as the leaves spoil; we catch the wind where the boughs do grow! Feathers yearn for weight in dreams! Souls collide as steps fall silent;

As Summer Leaves

Published on Sun, 7^th Jun 2026 at 18:05

Reluctantly, as summer leaves, our autumns heart is all she perceives. Of what she dreamed, we cannot believe, as winters hand is all we receive. What of spring and how she deceives? what of the saplings that learn to grieve? Reluctantly, as summer leaves, our autumns soul is

Defiant of the Road

Defiant of the road, yet fluent of the route, the ghoul has found his home and all he must atone. Remorseful of said times, yet resentful of the lines, the ghoul has set the tone for all he must atone. Spiteful with his words, yet hopeful of their peace, the ghoul has found

On the streets of decay, an awful face replays; mirrors cannot embrace a heart made of lace, whose words have effaced these weary votes replaced. Holes of despair have opened our souls; what once was grace is time

Heart at Play

Heart at play; gambolled away to beseech the day where we shall stay! On petal dreams, we lay in silence; a blissful stream did bring us thirst, yet not the first, as home flailed away with the wind. Heart at play; betroved away to

Fear Me Not

Published on Fri, 17^th Apr 2026 at 23:56

Fear me not, as I am me, and you are thee, as heart separates to echos of three; heart, a fickle thing, clings to hope it's yet to grasp; mind, a backseat, begins again and hopes to last; soul, a wayward thing, begets the toll the lover cast. Fear me not,

Slay the dragon, flail thy sword, strike his heart; where doth thou reveal the reins? what of fire that consumes thy mind? dawn still catches the eye of fame! Merriment conveyed, wasting away, in silent days; noon fractured from violent plays! Slay the
