Odd little lines of gray
strange to the eyes
hiding the lies
spots of indecency
mirrored by purity
shaped into daggers
swallowing life
fast as quicksand
bits of memory lost
into the fog
different shades
for different rays
forever gone
shall we follow?
into the lines of gray
there will we stay?

( Be i a Woman, Childe, Goddess or Angel? )

It was almost as if
I stood alone in the dark
Naked and shackled
Screaming defiance to the walls

Until my voice ran out
Crying out to nothing
As no one stopped to listen
Even my prison had deaf ears

With my back against the stone

Hands clutching at my breast
So I could force air from my lungs

Feeling the constant ache

From my veins of broken glass

And ( Read more... )

Snow is falling
Soft and silent
Slowly covering the
Sleeping brown earth
With its serene majesty
Coldly pure
Somehow comforting
In the dead of night
While the world is
Traipsing through the
Wonderland of dreams
I stand alone
In the bitter cold
Hands deep in my pockets
Head thrown back
With my eyes staring
At the silver specks
Singing along with
The wailing of the ( Read more... )

Smiles are the strangest things to see
Have you ever seen a smile so radiant
That the face seems to be glowing
And the eyes are sparkling as though the
Stars had fallen inside
A smile of true happiness
Is the rarest to behold
And the hardest to create
for the heart must be flying
So far above the clouds
And the soul must be crying
From the love it holds
Only ( Read more... )

This obsidian bliss

A fucking hit or miss

Never know what’s on the prowl

Which creature will awaken

Or what danger you’ve avoided

Stumble around, eyes unseeing

Casting out pathetic senses

What do you feel?

Inadequate, insecure

Smile again; see if it’s real

Too bloody good to be true

Back in the labyrinth

Without you?

Skull and crossbones

Roses and ( Read more... )

While the wind whispers sweet nothings
I'm staring off into space
Half listening and half lost
My back against the willow's  bark
I watched the sun set
And smiled at his farewell
The purple becoming gray
Soon his colors faded
Silver blazed against white
And I could hear a sweet little hymn begin
As the wind's voice  rose in the cold
I smiled, picking out ( Read more... )

In the depths of the darkness
Just before dawn
I was asked by a voice
Filled with such hesitation
If what I was saying was true
Could it be, that the night
Had me heady and rash?
Why, I don’t know
But a challenge I saw in those words
And in a flash I realized more
Than I had in so long
The one to whom the voice belongs
Is more than kindred to my heart
When he ( Read more... )

Sleep child sleep

Lay back in the darkness

Be comforted by the silence

Allow the silver lady

To protect you

Have the soft blackness

Ease the pain of day

Here in nights embrace

You are safe

Watch the smile on the moon

Feel the heaviness of your heart fade

Dream child dream

Escape the sorrow

Let your eyelids flutter

Breath even in this peace

Relax in ( Read more... )

Goddess silver and golden god
My life I’ve known to be empty
Until I heard of your word
Nature wild called to me
From the day I learned to walk

And so it is no surprise
That in the wild I found my salvation
My reason to survive and
The path I’ve always sought

For it was unknown to me
Love perfect and trust unquestioned
Is where I’ll finally heal

Here I will ( Read more... )
