A former poetfreak looking for a new safe haven.
He was never a part of this world, not really, but rather like an extraterrestrial from another dimension A silent observer with a pen between his fingers, watching and making notes of untied shoelaces He used to write rhymes about the wonders of life, isolated in his bohemian house and a tiny window his only reminder of the existing reality He was never a part of this world, not really, but the odd bird chose to come out of that door, eventually

A poet's eulogy
The northern night is calm and collected, cool in his suit of a thousand stars Nothing betrays his facade as he steps into the still water to greet the early morning sun His beautiful demise, she sets him on fire

A fatal romance
What is a woman but the traits of her personality? Would I be a better human if I was not what I truly am but rather something that I claim to be? What if in the place of this sardonic, sarcastic, snarky introvert stood a sweet, social girl instead? What if my ***** vividly imaginative mind was strictly bound to reality? Would I be a better daughter without all my quirks? Could I be a better human but the same person still?

A better human
worn-out marble floors hard against black high heels gleaming in a fifty shades of grey under the heavy strip lights rows and rows of cheap clothes expensive junk for poor fools contaminated handrails a shocking blur of different colors bloodshot eyes screaming everywhere red lipstick and lace attracting young women smells overlaying each other advertisements and hushed words surrounded by general noise pillars crumbling under pressure faked smiles and aching feet tired escalators elevators that have given up a raging headache 'exit' sign shining green

Mall
Ancient wooden floorboards, dry and dusty, creaked under your heavy bulk of a man Black leather boots squeaked as you entered the hallway, lured by the darkness and the strong scent of another's desire Hinges screeching, screaming out a warning, the door closed behind your back You never saw the danger, only felt the dagger

The Man-eater
Bright pale eyes and long fair hair She was a born adventurer with a rebellious flare Insomniac, she came by the lake every night Shining like a torchlight against the moonless sky She wondered how life was like on the other side And curious by heart, she decided to find out Stepping into the cold black water, the air was dead still In the eerie silence, she boldly started to swim With graceful strokes, she approached the opposite shore But halfway the freezing lake, her body could suddenly move no more Wide-eyed and panicking, her cries for help echoed in the open Sinking, flailing limbs and screaming 'til her lungs grew swollen Drowned, she never reached the other end of the lake But in the nearby village, an identical girl still lives today Bright pale eyes and long fair hair Nightgown dripping wet

The mystery of the sleepless girl
they dance around the issue at hand like two sparrows around a breadcrumb and unaware of the cracks in their tiny hearts they shed their fragile feathers, one by one until neither of them can fly away
