Oblivion’s Comfort
I wake to the desert, talking to the wind; its voice is dry and muffled. Sand cuts my skin as I walk; nowhere feels like a place I belong to. The seeming figs glow like a distant fire. My feet are melting with every step I take. I lose my balance when I stride; I am surprised as the light darkens me. Flames...

The Haunting Gaze
Once upon a woeful early December night nigh, Who am I, in this fateful time of scry’s reprise? Over many a quaint reminisce of my ghostly past, Suddenly, feel eyes piercing again, with no end. I looked around, to no avail; my time has end. I turned and saw darkness cast. As I went out in the dreary night, I...

Hell's fury ignites the tormented winds of horrifying fire. Earth's howls in pain, as its land degenerates into a nightmare. Swirling red dust and sand tortured and tormented the fallen. Blistering is the swirling ash and flame beckon into its calling. Tornadic flames and ash forming a bird of fire, she screeches in pain. Unfolding its magnificent wings of fire...

Premium Member Light And Darkness
Light seems brightest when seen in the darkest dark. Yet darkness can be all but eliminated by the brightness of light. When in a balanced contrast, each is often seen clearer. Although their differences when compared are quite stark, Both darkness and light have the potential to provide great insight. Each has qualities that can make things seem dearer. Once while...

Iron Veil
Truth be told, or is it so, Is strength bronze or tin? Forever mystery lies so, In this transcended kin. Beneath the rust, a fragile heart, Iron weeps, its strength apart. A veil of secrets, shadows loom, Where truth’s enigma finds its tomb. In fragile echoes, whispers call, Uncertainty befalls, thoughts of chanciness. As ready minds begin to fall, A second thought of unsureness. Though some say...

Hello, old friend
"Grievance upon you, My mere mortal kin. You didn’t try hard enough, Now sit with your sin" I’ve sat here before, And I know your game. You feed on my sorrow And wear it as shame. "You...

Light and Darkness
Light and Darkness Have you ever paused to ponder Why the creator in his wisdom Made death the only doorway Leading to the Heavenly Kingdom? Have you ever paused to ponder Why the creator by his order Separated the endless darkness To give the world twelve hours of light And twelve hours of dreadful night? Don't you know He could make it all light? You could...

Premium Member In the darkness that envelops us like an endless veil of mystery
In the darkness that envelops us like an endless veil of mystery, The modern man struggles within his own shadow, a wandering soul, Reviving the echo of the lower soul, caught in Satan's snare, Not just a theological figure, but a force obstructing the light. Closed are the gates of the imaginal world, the intermediate realm, Between the sensible and...

You can't run from accountability
We know your game And we are not going to become slaves to it We've seen you spin your lies like a spiders Web Your crimes of deceit will come back to smite you The heavens will rain down on you There is no escape from eternity Hear these words said Let them infest your head Your silence will betray you...
