dawn had broken
'twas still dark
to me the night hath spoken
"toward the light doth not embark"
'twill consume thee
lest ye run back to mine arms
ne'er again to flee
ne'er again to feel harm

stay with me
do not leave

whispered the night

There are many types of fruit in the Garden of Eden
you see, they breed in different colors
peach for the ones light of heart
turquoise for the daring of soul
green for the courageous
yellow for the timid
there is a vast array of fruit to be tried here in this never ending garden
but I myself
well, I prefer black
the absence of color
something unknown
no one knows what future the black fruit holds
so I sink my teeth in, close my eyes and pray
that God doesn't hate me fore being what I am
*human

Hands rough, from long days in the mines
Only one day to look forward to
That day in which true love be intertwined
Star crossed love, perceived taboo
A Dunmer and a Breton!
Her father would not condone
For his stature would it threaten
So this love must remain unknown
This night we steal away
To meet in the hills above Soljund's
Gather my belongings, make haste, no delay
With her love, all else can be foregone

*Dragonborn travels
happening upon a doleful scene
two dead lovers
in the hills above Soljund's

A piece of my soul given
the piece that deters logic
allows to see beyond any blemish
accepting wholly
reciprocating undeterred love
rejected was this gift
now I find it was lost
whisked away
over thousands of miles of ocean
I gave you a piece of my soul
and you spat it into the sea
a final blow
amidst a series of many
that stole my ability
to ever again feel
*such compassion

Lacked the strength
to place my mask today
they noticed

Little Sunshine Fairy
Appreciates all the little things
A kind word with every breath
A sunset waving goodbye to the day
The rain caressing her rooftop
The trees telling her sweet little fairy secrets
The flowers always dance when she looks
She is little Sunshine Fairy Marian
And she appreciates all the little things
Which is what makes her so lovely!

Such a lovely, sweet girl
spreading kind words and happiness
anywhere her feet do twirl
if a sad face she does witness
immediately will she brush away the tears
speak of fairies and better days
I will teach my daughter to be as she in future years
for nothing is better than spreading sunshine rays

lost in the night sky, I dwell within my passionate fortress
where none could intrude nor seek to overthrow
such love for shadows, so sweet, so serene
with no warning, the thought, the face crept in
just one revelation, one face
brings my stronghold to its knees
pillars crash down threatening such peaceful respite
now exposed, a keen eye would see
desire expressed in a metaphor
love never uttered, never to be seen
whilst the rubble is rebuilt from the ruins

*overlooking the night sky in a fortress of solitude

Am I not hungry for you
am I not starved
ravenous
when I finally taste you
will I ever stop drinking
such sweet, pure sustenance
my life force, my drink
my breath and life

He had become a God
standing atop the world
looking down, knowing
anything could be achieved
in that moment, realization struck
he leapt from the highest peak
the wind whispering her secret
finally free
the trees grew majestically, closing in
the birds whistled a sweet melody
the water danced, awaiting eternal embrace
he forgot all the pain
free falling
time froze and he smiled
his last smile, for the Earth
goodbye

A harrowing tale could this be, of a girl who gained her soul, but lost the world
all that had ever been believed in, all that had ever given hope
revealed to be false amidst the unraveling of the veil, into a new realm was she hurled
one where there is overwhelming pain, and hatred, no confidence with which to cope
her soul allowed her to visit Utopia, a dream as intangible as a wisp of smoke
all too often misunderstood, underestimated, thought to be entirely insane
her voice reaches some, but for many others, the message does not evoke
she finds that she has echoed too long, her own voice and thoughts become her eternal bane
swallowed within a truth that she has so long sought, viewed as a reality
in actuality it just is not possible, but what can a girl do when swallowed whole
visions of true love, coexistence, God, all lost in a moment of brutality
what does a person do when they lose the world and gain their soul

Embracing the Goddess energy within yourselves
Will bring all of you to a new understanding and valuing of life
A vision that inspires you to live and love on planet earth
Like a priceless jewel, buried in dark layers of soil and stone
Earth radiates her brilliant beauty, into the caverns of space and time
Perhaps you are aware of those who watch over your home
And experience it as a place to visit and play with reality
You are becoming aware of yourself
As a Gamemaster

Imagine Earth restored to her real beauty
Stately trees seem to brush the deep blue sky
The clouds billow to form majestic peaks
The songs of birds fill the air
Creating symphony among symphony
The Goddess is calling for an honoring of what she allows to be created
Through the core-mystery of the blood
Those who own her planet, are learning about love

'tis the season to be sickly
a cough, a choke, the flu
do get well quickly!
though a virus does defeat you
it is only for now
get well soon!

Broken glass lines the path
as if they were shattered dreams themselves 
fragments of hopes lost in the whisper of the wind 
in the night they lie still
I feel like I am dancing on the shards
as I walk, knowing I am blessed
but it makes me sad too
trash litters the ground
life is tossed into slums
many never get the luxury to escape
merely adding to the glittering pieces 
they pile up unending 
eroding, until the glass is no longer discernible from sand
I am talkin' 'bout the ghetto baby
and it ain't no easy road

To all ye who think thou art unworthy
'tis not true, not one thought
naught in this world to be more sorrowful
than a lone poet screaming into the night
falling upon deaf ears
ne'er question the mind
know thou art heard
for all of our hearts share pain intertwined

End of the year in more ways than one
For a dearest friend who shines like the sun
A wonderful family and a big heart too
The best Birthday wishes I wish for you!

I will pretend I am alright
that I am sane
I just lost it
swallowed whole by my darkness
I need you to hate me
all of you
vilify me, justify my own self hatred

Jumbo jets and drone planes
circling round more menacing than encroaching vultures
I see the death
I hear it too in the engine rumbles
I step outside near the base
and the atmosphere may as well be ice
the air I breathe feels like toxic smoke
I watch the robotic movement of the blind
steering the deadly machinery
it's just my job not sure what it is for
or maybe they do maybe they don't
perhaps they do and do not care
how many weapons trained have I seen in this hour alone
and those eyes, those eyes
cold, calculating, sharp, empty
boom

I forgot how odd it is
surrounded by robots
trained to ****

Hope so bright, a human need
what do you become, when it recedes
an empty shell, a deadened soul
something never to feel entirely whole

I saw a light, oh so bright
for it I found the will to fight
alas, hope is something that often fades
so easily changed, so easily swayed

What is a person without  hope
when that is gone, what helps to cope
I cannot say to you, my friend
I have yet to cross that bend

Another lost, tormented soul in pain
slapped by reality and its ceaseless bane
supposedly time heals all these wounds
I have never known this hurt, so I am not attuned

For now, only upon hope lost can I dwell
swallowing me whole unable to expel
if it makes you happy, it may not last
once again.. pick up the pieces of broken glass

A world so vast, so many just like me
Same brown eyes in an eternal sea
Similar story so many have danced
My memory forgotten with a glance

Not so special, easily replaced
A soul marked as such, utterly defaced
I find me so unremarkable, so dull
So much so that I am utterly forgettable

The value I hold for myself
I place in what others see
The pain I have caused
I soon forget any of the happiness
And am left with the idea
That I am worth nothing
But pain and blackness
For I forgot about good deeds
And remember shattered smiles
Faltering in the whispers of the night
Pain sticks with us a lot longer
Than anything else, does it not
They say better to have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all
Think about that a moment
The memory of love grows faint
Masked in the outline of all the pain
The tears I have caused drag me down
Into their ocean I wallow and drown
As I deserve

You may not be mine
For you are not property
And I also lay no claim
Over your being
But rest assured I am yours
I do not mind belonging to you
I will make it known
That my soul belongs to you
Along with my heart
Until the day may come
That it stops beating

His smile was too warm upon her lips of ice
she hid behind his summertime facade
whilst basking in her own wintry demise
it was said she gave him butterflies of love
rest assured she was rife with maggots
he fell in love with a glacial corpse
smooth as glass, he slipped from the edge
blistering her rigid edges, he was too hot...
she was too cold, a mountain made of stone
frozen to the bone, The Queen of Never Ending Winter

*and he ran, never to look back

the sun is not shining today
in my sky or in my mind
synapses ceasefire
heartbeat weak and quick
what is it I am looking at in the clouds
this day should be random as my thoughts
I love my creature
following me as a child would
I am the child though
I cried for hours over the travesties
to a person I thought hates me
love and war
I think I am ready to ditch my dreams
take up arms and lead us into Hell
for the love
for the right
I went insane
I lost it
that is how it begins then is it not
that is how it all begins...
do not care for me too much
one day I think I will be assassinated
if I do not stop
if I do stop
I assassinate myself
random insanity has now ensued
what else can I say
today the sky is grey

If I so ever felt inclined to fall again
he would have to love to dance with trees
listen to the whispers of the wind, for they tell stories
he would need to be able to embrace insanity
lets face it, the whole world is quite mad
he would have to love everyone as I do
seek to brighten their lives, if even in a mere smile
be inclined to adore fairy tales and magic
they have to exist or we would have never dreamt them
there is so much I love that I wish to share
he would have to want to share it as well
with me, with the Earth
whilst creating our own world

Here I sit, alone in the dark
writing again, unable to stop
while you are out dancing in lust
still not healed from your prior affliction
and this is why I am glad
I am the one who sits alone
in the dark
spilling my soul

image speaks one thousand words
like how every detail
could make me feel akin to a fire
every moment captured
one I find peace in
any expression
something of absolute beauty
were there to be a flaw found
I would not see it
when so blinded by adoration
all I see
is someone I love

Imaginary things can be pleasant or destructive
an idea is powerful, ever living
then why so much power given to the wrong side
a piece of paper, a chunk of metal
money
borders are imaginary yet we give them form
to what purpose?
apparently freedom is imaginary too
living within a facade, sheep held within imaginary fences
eating imaginary grasses tainted with poison
keep living in the matrix
I chose to take the pill that hurts
the one where imaginary things are not real
and I am no longer a sheep
keep your money, borders and lies

I find myself obsessed
pouring out these thoughts endlessly
newly inspired
oh my, I cannot stop
even in dreams my mind spins these words like silk
will I go insane
become these words pouring endlessly from my soul
lose my body completely
forever be trapped in a dream
where words are my master
and I its puppet

I love my friends and fellow poets
And I cannot make this poetic or beautiful
But I appreciate you all so very much

Her soul had been stolen
tattered, torn it seemed to be lost
drifting amidst the angry seas
cast away to unceasing winds
for it so long had she searched
thinking it forever gone, she just a shell
over mountains, under seas, through deserts
she roamed, desperate and forlorn
until at last she found her soul
in India
