Here, tangled in her veils, she floats on the tide.
Far-off, in the woods,...

Moonlight ChaliceBroken lines of poetry
Are all that's left to see
A page of forgotten memories
To cheer the heart in me

And in the end the storms of life

Fearful RealizationsMy days are void of color

In my mind, in my heart,
It seems there's too much on my plate.
I've been selfish in...

AlmostI am overwhelmed with almost.
It's in everything I see
And everything I do,
Almost all around me.
Water, almost clean.
Food, almost filling.
Tea, almost hot.
Mind, almost willing.
Almost, inescapable,
Yes, I can almost get away.
But almost always finds me
Wherever I almost...

TetherI never realized nor told you
My love has always been a lie,
Because I never wanted to tell you,
Or else you would cry.
I never wanted to hurt you,
But to be fair in love and war

The Last RomanceI waited for a moment of silence.
For my heart to find the right beat
And immerse my soul into romance.
For the thrill it possessed was sweet.
All the desires were immense struggles.
That is worth far...

Echoes of the Soul
The moon hangs low, a silver crescent in twilight's glow,
Its gentle light reveals a soul in woe.
In shadows deep, where silent whispers blend,
I confess my pain, seeking solace to...

in the silence of the darkwhen the lights have gone out
it's too little too late
opportunity has flown by
never to return
when the lights have gone out

when the lights have gone out
there's nobody...

Beyond RepairI cannot break these chains that bind me,
No more can I see past these walls that blind me,
I don’t know who I’m supposed to be,
I’ve no idea how to be me.
Am I broken,
Beyond repair,
No one...
