Snowflakes slowly fall and
disappear into the ground.
Frozen flakes disappearing
into the snow,
returning to the drift.

Opaque light glimmers on the surface
I wonder if my face has remained
the same, fake smiles all around
plastic happiness built on
plastic dreams.

I moulded myself to being the wife
a puppet on a string, a thing to own
Vile vinyl, fake female
toxic, neurotic, inorganic
credit card lifestyle.

The snowflake has reminded me
of a purer time, a kinder, softer time
Snowflakes are unique
I am unique not

Remember the shadowy night?
How our hands would enfold.
Under the stars that shone so bright,
Love was true to this world.

Though the days hath died,
Thy destiny still seeds.
Beyond the waking night.
The sun will rise...

Remember that shadow,
Your true-love despaired.
One day your will find her.
Buried in your arms.

Stay true to thy destiny,
For thy honor is thy right.
Come before your love now,
She awaits,
To be by your side.
A little chant like song.

My wolf howls,
In pain.

I am unloved,
By the rain.

Content to be imperfect,
To the wilds I run.
I only wish to be alone.
May my time come.

Painful memories,
Curse thy Wolf and I.
I feel like a child,
Who sits in the corner and cries.

May I howl,
Until the daylight dawns..
My kin,
I only wish to cry..

Alone...
I back peddle from a paper pedestal, hoping for the best, hoping you don't intend to inspect the wreckage I have left.

I am temptation at its test, an exclamation on contempt, collecting the regrets to my exemptions under stress.

A misnomer to my bets, against the better judgments I neglect, I'm set in my ways, in lucid forays, I've let from my veins,

and I've slept, the whole ******* way.

Love saw me hiding
so we played awhile
hide and seek
but in the end
Love could not stay hidden
long enough
to play the game

Hope for better is overrated
                      Pity is the latest trend

If life were as he dreamt it,
He'd count on one hand;
His worries, his fears, his gone wrong plans.

Alas, a dream is that, a dream.
Appreciate feedback
I'm constantly at war with myself,
and it's always a matter of life and death.
15-words poem.
