Dreaming of a Nightmare
Anna Feb 2019
Castle of white.

Stride marble stairs.


With the rising of dawn

My love will be there.


Certain of trust.

Doubting betrayal.


The Sky by my side,

I can bear any Gail.


Though love strength and growth are the sum of our parts

The fear of my livlihood strands us apart


Where must I go? Who must I be?

My only must is to keep you with me.


The edge of my thoughts

My subconscious mind

Is saying that soon you will leave me behind.


So why can't I act upon this understanding?

Each breath we share, our souls are expanding.

Why can't we keep walking white castle stairs?

For the dream's second half's more like a nightmare.

Wait for Want
Anna Nov 2018
My heart has never felt so weak

Without any resolve

Without will to proceed

But also lacking desire to end.

I wait.



I wait for the wind to show me.

Which is North?

Which pole takes me captive

Draw a map to my lost pieces

To my once relentless passion



Hold me close, faithlessness.

Enter me, pain.

Caress the depths of me,

Spread like seeping ink

Drown my surface.

Blacken me.



I wait.

A pawn to even passerby

My definition lies with you.

Once relentless, now I die.

Resisting nothing

I sleep, then grow.

Beauty Frowns
Anna Jun 2019
If clouds were always silvery white,
and sorrow were pretend

If every pursuit aligned with what was planned

If struggle were mere fiction, or simply undefined

How would we not also leave true happiness behind?

If everything were beautiful,
then what would beauty be?

Would we know that we were blind if we could never see?

The perfect dusk will wait for you until you've closed your eyes

But if each new day is empty, then what good is paradise?
Please suggest a new title if you think of a better one!

It's Burning
Anna Nov 2018
The air is burning

spreading upward

All of them look down

How can they ignore it

The char, the destruction

Blue sky shines behind, hopeful.

But for how much longer?

What can save us now?

The world is burning

All look down except for one.

She notices the Sky.

— The End —
