The quiet stillness of winter. Freshly fallen snow with nary a track to be seen. Frigid air bites at the skin. Wrapped in warmth, feet sinking into the plushness. Snow-capped mountains in the distance, a layer of fog surrounds them. Bare trees gone white with it’s bark peeking through underneath. The time of year when the suns warmth is welcomed, defrosting the icy chill. The snowfall is blinding in the sun, but without the solar beam, the grey tempers it. As dusk sets in grey turns to black and the white illuminated by the moon. Hours pass and the sun rises to brighten the morning and the cycle is renewed.

Victorian spirit hovers over me summoning for all eternity across the table hands are bound together forever and all around cold winds blow forth and brings dark shadows foreboding tales of woes and great sorrows haunting this space and whispering thy name inhabiting my body i will never be the same Victorian spirit who are thee reveal yourself so my eyes can see

Victorian spirit
i have drank the milk of the ocean i inhaled it’s briny breath i have sunk below the surface i wandered through its depths swept away by the undertow to live amongst the deep pulled to bioluminescence where the weird will always creep i know now the treasures untold i know its deep dark secrets for i keep my own away from light as i live down deep beneath it

mare tenebris
he took me by the hand and led me down into the water and promised i wouldn’t drown the sun did shine then, it’s touch was warm but i didn’t know it was the calm before the storm i felt the tide rising and looked into his eyes saw a glimmer of the moon, it took me by surprise the skies had darkened, my blood ran cold the water turned freezing, i was not foretold his grasp, it weakened and i felt the ocean take me echoed in my mind was his promise to not forsake me the sea opened up and swallowed me whole i wouldn’t have come if only i’d known

saline's maiden voyage
she looked out of her window then she saw a rainbow, the light did bend seven colors up in the sky with all the birds she longed to fly so she set forth with arms spread wide took a leap, but only died

descent
he came to me three times at night we bore a child in stark moonlight we chanted loud we spoke forth proud she came to us upon a cloud her blackened clothes with every stitch spoke of her origin she was a cosmic witch her raven hair shone with the moon she spoke of evil, impending doom your child, she said will haunt your dreams for she is not quite what she seems she is a devil in disguise don't be fooled by innocent eyes she will cause harm to all who's near but if you listen, you need not fear just heed my warning, my advice you must make the ultimate sacrifice draw a circle on the grassy floor and inside it lay what you did bore make an offering unto the grey and wait for the wolves to take her away

sacrifice
I am a lonely victorian maiden who has been washed out to sea. I pray that someone, someday, would come and rescue me. I have but one good, useful skill. The problem is it won't pay a bill. I have the heart of a righteous saint, good will towards others with nary a complaint. I pledge a harmonious, delightful life; to my savior whom I'd make a first-rate wife.
