Premium Member Winter's Wish
I reached a hand Into the snow The chilly ice Once vibrant glow It's Winter's wish A painful spree The absent warmth Of no degree Although I try To stay alive Your touch confirms No love could thrive Until the crystals Of your heart Can beat a path Back to the start I'll leave a message By transient hand No passer by Shall understand A heart-shaped sign To melt...

Thaw
I have a heart too warm for a body of snow. My torso went out first— The buttons before my chest dropped into the soil. One by one, they stripped me tenderly. —I feel exposed. My limbs were the next to leave— Technically I only had arms that once traced words in frost. The damp branches—they landed right beside me. I couldn’t reach them, of...

Nameless Blood
Blood drips on the ground beneath my feet But not from my eyes you gouged out Or from the tongue you cut off Nor my eyes you left to listen And not my insides where it crawls. Unkown makes me afraid More than my blood pooling on the snow I knew it always bleeds But I don't know where the...

In stars above
In the fireflies in the sky above, Gases collide with grace—no gaslighting~ They weave star-carpets that shimmer and wink, God’s lanterns flaring to soften our darkness. A fusion of hydrogen and helium nuclei~ Forms a premium spirit that sparkles, Like a naked flame through a bright hole in the dark, Yet forming galaxies remains their thrill. With self-gravity, bound as twinkling gems, Blind to...

Fire in the snow
You were there when I needed you the most, just for you to disappear into the night like a vengeful ghost. The texts you sent broke my heart, cause deep down I never wanted us to part. My biggest Fear, was for you to disappear, and for you to pass from sight like fire in the snow. I...

Snow
The untimed snow rushed insulted against the glassed shoulders on the poster, and they were made of paper, they were bare… It cried, scalded, on the painted, colorful faces, and they were made of paper, they were bare… Its outraged tears transformed into tears of joy, and through them they were still smiling, not caring for the bitter cold, in defiance of...
