Tsunami
fate nightshade Dec 2018
Ever changing
forever shifting
the glass breaks
the water falls
tides and currents
fight land
water keeps no prisoners
water spares no land
It breaks all in its path
the land trembles in terror
the ocean attacks
once more
the water calms
the tide returns to sea
the battle
has stopped
for now
the storm
has subsided
but take heed
once more
for the land
foreshadows
the sea will
return once again
to seek out
hateful revenge
only than
the storm will meet its
fateful
end

New beginnings
fate nightshade Jan 2020
a bright flash of sunlight
a new smile wavers then falls
hope sparked within
a new beginning
alongside an old end
I let my smile show
as if the forest senses my happiness
a refreshing breeze sweeps through
to new beginnings I think to myself

Music
fate nightshade Feb 2020
the rhyme of a song
an old beat
ears ringing
eyes stinging
a thought
a word
the beat drops
with unintelligible words
I hum along
the worlds spinning
I fall
the beat of music still in my veins
I crash
I return back to earth
I sigh
why cant I stay there forever

ice
fate nightshade Aug 2020
ice
the sun kisses my face
feel the winds gentle embrace
icy breath escapes my lungs
my lips turn blue
I feel around me
dirt
all I feel is dirt
the smell of soil
I close my eyes
waking in reality
or is this all really a dream

Spring
fate nightshade May 2020
a gentle warble
the hum of nature
the gurgling of a waterfall
on a pleasant spring morning
the sun falls like rain in the meadow
finally at peace
everything is a waking dream
but oh the whispers of a scorching heat
for I know summer is soon to come
soon this gentle bliss will like all good things meet an end
the waterfall will soon dry up
for now I will enjoy this dream while it lasts

Story weaver
fate nightshade Feb 2020
it begins
a story weaver knits
and sows their story
a song rises in the air
sky sparks
oceans roar
stars shine as a thousand daggers
wraiths chill slid down their spines
an interruption
voice stops
worlds fall
another tale ended
another world gone
a banshee born

New year
fate nightshade Jan 2020
a new hello while remembering a past goodbye
the new year is both a beginning and a end
a sharp almost painful memory of the past
and the fresh breeze of the future to come

— The End —
