And so I dipped my feather in the darkness of my mind
And brought...

Days became a flooding of months
Still he lay where he...

crawled into bed this summer night
so once again, inflamed with dread
I wander now in pitch of dark

This lonely place, where...

demon-dead in the unstirred inferno

EmergenceIn realms of dusk, where whispers sleep,
A nascent dream, in colours deep.
Green tendrils curl, unseen, unheard,
A restless yearning, wings unstirred.
Beneath the hush, where shadows stray,
A silent storm begins to play.
Dormant fires, with embers bright,
Embrace the...

Beauty IsBeauty is an ethereal mother
That’s elegant touch
Showers sweet, freed water
Distilling the very strangles
Of a gripped heart.
Its kiss bathes your lungs
In a silk freshness
And softens the folds
In coiled palms.
And in life we can hide from nothing.

Daughter’s darling, harmless, even to mice.

A ring imbued with love
Is the gift we both have
Circle and boundless
Unharmed by ages
That may our love
Retain the passion
we have always had
Keep the flame
Burning in our heart
Like the ring’s
Undying gleam
May the golden ring’s
Unscathed gleam
Be an...
