Q Nov 2012
Her clockwork heart
Will always tick
Because that’s what it does.

She lives forever
And nothing can change –
Not till the time is right.

Her clockwork heart
Will always tick
Even if you break it.

Steal her love,
And crush her spirit,
And the curse will come to you.

The clockwork heart
Will soon be yours
Because you stole it from her.

The clockwork heart
Will always tick
No matter whose it is.
Q Nov 2012
There once was a tall giraffe
She loved to laugh and laugh.
She had a bow tie
And she never did cry –
Even when she looked at bar graphs.
Q Nov 2012
One silent meadow
then a blood-curdling scream.
Then silence again.
Haikus are fun..
Q Nov 2012
The world of light soon will shatter
And the youngest girl will soon see
The world of dark is all that matters.

As the sun rises, they all scatter
But when it leaves the truth will be;
The world of light soon will shatter.

The sound of their feet is pitter-patter
And all of the town in fear will flee—
The world of dark is all that matters.

The only ones – little me and the hatter
Have stayed because, you see,
The world of light soon will shatter.

The whole villages ended in tatters
And now we finally get to see.
The world of dark is all that matters.

When the sun falls, my thoughts scatter
Because we hear the final prophecy –
“The world of light soon will shatter.
The world of dark is all that matters.”
Q Nov 2012
The Mirror-Eyed Boy
with a heart of pure gold
was so sweet and innocent --
or so we were told.

The story begins
in a fairly large town.
The boy had entered
and gazed all around.

His mirror eyes fell
on a girl in the shadows.
Her skin was all glass
and her hair black as crows.

They soon fell in love
but another boy came
This man could fly
and this started the game.

The Mirror-Eyed Boy
soon wanted the truth.
Was her love real?
Or a game for her youth?

She fled and she hid
but soon was returned.
She finally chose
and the sad truth was learned.

The Radiant Girl
knew the glass one's fear.
She whispered to the boy,
"Is everything clear?"

So the Mirror-Eyed Boy
called on the birds.
When she was attacked
she had no last words.

She broke into pieces
and the black birds scattered.
His mirror eyes gleamed
as the Glass Girl was shattered.

The man who could fly
was so very furious!
He marched to the boy
and he seemed so curious...

The man in his anger
attacked the young boy
and took out his heart
and his death was enjoyed.

The Mirror-Eyed Boy
with a heart of pure gold
was so sweet and so innocent --
or so we were told...
Q Nov 2012
The lovesick young girl
who felt her heart call
had known it was time
for her disguise to fall.

She was immortal
and she fell for a man.
One day she'd lose him
and that wasn't her plan.

So she called for the witch
and she plead for a chance.
It was all that she wanted--
and endless romance.

She made her wish
but a price would be paid.
Her soul would be sold
and the deal would be made.

Now she was empty,
and die she now could.
Her love still lingered
so tell him she would.

They met up at midnight
and her heart skipped a beat.
Her love was confessed
as she looked at her feet.

She lifted her heard
and tears filled her eyes.
He didn't love her
so the world heard her cries.

Now she would age
and later on die
but first her revenge
on the one who lied.

She returned to the witch
and made a request.
She could have back her soul
but this new curse got no rest.

So never would he love
and never would she care.
They were forever entwined
in a cycle of despair.
Q Nov 2012
The hourglass keeper
knows your time is short
when the sand in the bottom is deeper.

When the final grain falls
your life will be taken
by the hourglass keeper.

None can escape
the hourglass keeper
unless you are given a gift.

With your breath everlasting
and your heart beating always
the hourglass keeper forgets.

When the hourglass keeper
does finally forget
then end of the world will come.
