Premium Member The Ambiguous Apprentice

ambiguously written 
about my sons,

The longer I read
the more she cried.

Now it had been my hope
and passion
to become...

They had his life story twisted as he plotted his death in advance
outsmarting his enemies evading cops and *****es

There exposed to...

His hair was dark, eyes deep brown

A Broken Dream
There’s a lake called the lake of Illusions,
And there’s a house right by its side.
It’s a house where I’m hiding,running away from memories.
It’s where I’m destined to be forever.

The rules don’t apply here, no.

Forgotten life

Forgotten life, loosed love, broken heart, death laughing on the sky
A souring soul lost, its dead desire was slain, death laughing on the sky
Destroyed life is gone, its far soul was despised, death laughing...

A lonely forlorn figure stands, shoulders slumped, life's energy sapped. A Face much older than the years, looks up at the arrival board, delayed not coming, lost walks in a daze, a mind crash too!...

On scribbled parchment, sanguine letters writ in blood
Of hidden tales, broken pages smeared with mud
An unknown soldier, his blood he lie
With glint of sword, his death is nigh
A scar on the body, an ache in...

Sad Empty Eyes
Somehow,
Those empty eyes
 staring back through the glass
They just seem to laugh
At all that I am.
And they seem to see
The person I wish I could be

But somewhere,
Beyond the reflection 
Is a soul
Who doesn't know 
Who,...

Daybreak
(To Armstrong)
Remember those days when mists of uncertainty
Shrouded our timid hearts.
We never left the hearthstead,
The fire of which burned from our silent prayers
And our hopes blossomed into a fortress
That brimmed with ripples of success.
