My drones point to the sky!
I am magic they say, since the wizard ‘spelled’ on me that day.

The Precipice

In the Autumn
she wore a wedding veil
A cold winter would lift it
Kiss her lips passionately to
speak words of
LOVE

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 12
His words stung me, as the cries from the maelstrom seem to retort
Their scattered, foreign words and wails retching their say

Upwards, higher than the balcony from which we...

Our journey thus far
1 Intent

drenched in bliss mists that cannot be described,
trouncing ego, last bastions of mind stormed.

Love In the Silence of the Soul

The winter darkness pressing down
Candlelight waves from hidden drafts
Shadows danced on the walls
