LilithLilith
Veiled in the moon’s ethereal grace,
She emerges from her shadowed place.

Awakened Longing
The scene you render, serene and sublime,
Awakens a longing, untouched by time.

My soul aches for the soft touch of you.
Perchance an angel from realms above,

The Empty RoomThe room beckons to me,
Its silence speaks to me,
There’s a volume in its emptiness,
A mystery in its void.
The past is revealed,
The hidden is shown,
I see children in a meadow,
Playing in the embrace of twilight.

AT LAST I WILL BE FREE
I have died a thousands deaths, what would one more hurt? It only seems appropriate, since everyone's so curt.

The Evening DiesDusk
birds chirping before sleep
the sun has run away
stealing all that I love
the clouds

incompetent fools

tears continue to trickle down my cheeks
And my lips still quiver,

Hold my hand, please!
Don't shut me out again
