On a path that leads him to my castle door

Dawson
...No pagan crown of fossil lairs
Of him I write no verse nor song
T’is not a soup to stir nor share
When lending strength, to something wrong.
Seconds cloned from darkest matter
Mutated minutes ......

Across bleak-white ice and snow,
Paid in cash by Rand McCorchoran

To a town still on the gr......

Lyla was his sun, his moon, and his desert rose
Not even the temptations he met throughout those years
Those sweet little whispers did fall on dea......

My First
...Dawson Mystique sat on a spike on his seat,
he'd jump to leave
but wouldn't lose his seat,
if ever he could learn to take it on as a plead,

His eyes would not leave the sight at the door

A girl from class I hardly knew
Not just “Hello”
But “Hello Chris”
Two words where maybe
Just one would do
It was Joy Pepper
Smoky grey eyes
And a smile so w......

Fear

The monster waited outside of my bedroom door.
My body pressed against the floor.
Looking, waiting for someone to save me.
