If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Blue so black,A velvet sweep away to deeper shadows empty;Points of diamond ice prick splendourInto this thin, still-born air.Breath is wreathed around my face,Silver sinking, mouth to ground;A glittering mist of moisture's stasisBeads the frozen earth with glass.Silence, heavy,Hope lies coldAnd petrified in ancient wells.Rime a...

Her lips were as pink as sugar mice, and her eyes were holly-green, like the holly sprig she wore. Her curly hair was a mane of spun gold, and her wings shimmered liked feathered frost. Her dress had a garland of roses, and was wov...

If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Search the starsFor dreams that are lost.Fly upon the backs of carrion crowsAs they batter their ragged wingsAgainst walls of dead airWith gluttonous envy in their eyes.Lay down your ragged breathUpon the iron earthAs it rusts away in the peat bogsAnd raises the stink ofIdeas in decay.Pluck your visions from theEntrails of sinAn...

He was a tinkerer ever since he could remember; plastic bricks, tiny fake logs, that’s how it all began. Since then, he had graduated to bigger and better things–they weren’t actually very big things in any literal sense of the word, but definitely much better, definitely more serious, definitely more important. It sparked and sizzled out between the cold, steel tongs holding it in place. This one failed, again. If it wer...

If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Oh, the stars that danceIn celestial flames,Come, hold my hand,Teach me your games.Hop and skip,And jump for joy,The ugly darkness to annoy.Kiss awayThe midnight black;Bring me the smilesI sadly lack.Touch my eyesWith firelightAnd make my faceSo merry bright.Bend my gazeTo smile, not frown,For I'd look up,And never down.Let me t...

When Earth was void of love and life,  And darkness reigned supreme. There was no time, nor thing, nor place, That darkness had not seen. The Lord of Light, while traveling through the realm of darkness, saw the tiny planet Earth in that darkness, and felt much pity for it. So she traveled to the furthest corner of the universe to seek the Lord of Darkness. She told the Lord of darkness how she had felt sorry for Earth th...

Nights darkness begins to fade Bright stars disappear from sight Horizons open changing from black Perpetuating a bluish pinkish bright Constellations giving way to dawn Temperature drop brings cold chills Sky's evolve changing dark to light Day now transformed from night Yellowish fingers start to appear Spearing between mountain peaks Spewing fire across the heavens Valley bottoms confirm colors hid Splashes red stainin...

This is not how it should be Joy escapes, sinking a golden vessel A sound, letters and vowels, words Verses of longing, a memory Aching to be reborn from ashes Wanting more than deserved The pain that does not cease Deep sighs that seek an embrace Warm tears flow upon icy flesh Love, happiness, a flightless yearn Beyond the stars a smile awaits These are times of angst, unsure steps Will tomorrow bring new hope Can the he...

Black takes over sightEyes wander searchingFrom behind the cloudsAppears a shimmering moonThen quickly vanishesHidden from viewEyes roaming seekingClouds open once moreRevealing a pin point of silverShining bright a lonely starThen another and anotherJoined again by the moonLight chasing away darkNot only light or darkness Nor just black and white Much the same as life Day and night filled With subtle shades of grey

Underneath the starsWhere our souls collideAnd break the darknessInto scorching flame,We stand inSecret embraceAnd kiss each other's hidden dreamsInto reality.Fear has no placeIn this starry oceanWhere mermaids and sirens are chased away,And the fireflies dance above our wondering heads.Your smile caresses this shell of mineAnd my heart smooths your tensions into the voidAs we breathe in spirit-shared incense.Worries do n...

Full moon shone from the night.Traces of shadows outlined bright. The landscape lit up as if daylight.Playing hide and seek such a delight. Darker reaches playing tricks on my eyes.Is something hidden, lurking in disguise? Searching silhouettes for life's existence.Maybe creatures hunting for subsistence. Nothing to be seen in this dimness.Am I alone in this partial darkness? Does nothing else in the night subsist?Only th...

If I were to leave, just disappear As swiftly as the Ocean breeze Would the Stars still shine as bright? If my presence was not felt, unseen, A drifting scent that weaves into a mist Would the voices of Nature still be heard? If the prints I make were to be erased, As the sand covers them without remorse Would the birds continue to migrate? If I were suspended, caught between two worlds One full of color, sweet, kind, ten...

 Good morning stars--again our orbits crossand I see your worldshigh above my life, my eyes touching youmillions of miles awaywhere we meet each dawn, your burning worlds swirling,though some are embers nowburnt out light years ago,a state I cannot knowsince news travels slowly across the universe,and yet, your fire in my eyes pulls me towards your glow,and makes mewonder am I with youhigh above my life?Are you burning in...

In dawn’s stillness,listening to the quiethover like fog,I disappearand nothing exists.No sound, no light,no breath,no motion,not even my heartbeat can be heard,just silence until the crackle of the firelike a hand clapsnaps me from myabsence.And I see a blue jayat the feeder in the dim lightof another daywhere silence disappears and goes where I long to go.   

Under blankets of stars I sleep a slumber deepDrenched in the dewy sheen of space I swim through its amniotic lullabyWhat a way to go Usefully futileAnother cog in Earth's machine I wait to be recycled To drown every care in the world Beneath the crashing waves of forever
