The Valley Remembers
The wind doesn’t howl here-- it warns. Each breath drawn is borrowed from the bones beneath. They told me to fear the shadow, but never the silence that follows. I walk where others knelt, blade dulled, spirit frayed, still searching for the summit that keeps shifting skyward. I do not ask for light-- only the strength to keep walking where ghosts refuse to rest....

Backstage with Iron Maiden
A Wilderness of Mirrors. I am unfamiliar with Iron Maiden's music, even though I worked a handful of times at their concert. I was curious about their mascot guy...Eddie. At one of their concerts, they had a bunch of Eddie dolls in boxes, and they left them there, and all the stagehands got...

Premium Member The Same Die Is Cast for One and All
The name of every soul is written line by line, without highlights or underlining in the leaves of pages of the book of souls. The stone temples built by kings that rise to the heavens, fall as empires fade and crumble, when the ledger must be made. No human god can barter with the end, no king can forever outrun the roll-call for their entry...

Disarmament of a Shield-maiden
A clenching of our hands, A clinging of our bands. The sweet aroma of your strawberry-coated strands, Allow my capability to disarm your fragility. Pent-up anticipation will meet expectation, You adorn your shield-maiden attire, Encouragement to set your onyx rose on fire. Peeling, petal by petal, stitch by...

The song of the maiden
As long as the wind blows, As long as the birds fly, Mine own affection for you only expands. Hero gave everything for Leander. I’m not sure if sacrifice is what life’s about, But if it is, I’d give all my blood and breath for you. To me, you are the world. You are life itself. There’s nothing more than you. No matter what...

The Minstrel
The minstrel with his lute so bright, Beneath the moon’s pale, silver light, Did weave a tale of love and woe, A melody that hearts would know. With nimble fingers, strings he'd strike, Each note a pearl, each chord a hike, Through valleys deep and mountains high, Where heroes fought and lovers sighed. A maiden fair, with eyes...

Dear Love, Just a quick note: You caught me unawares I thought I lived in circles You taught me to accept squares I write to ask for guidance As straight lines tend to bend The route we thought before us Down a different path does send You have a reputation That has helped us through the age..

Marvelous magic’s meant to be; Melani, not melancholy; Dark is not the madness in me; Measured? maybe; Measured? maybe; Mastered the macabre that’s within, muted miles of emotion; A myriad of feminine, misfit maiden, misfit maiden....
