dark hair, darker nights
the winter solstice draws us
together again

take me to that shadowed place
past all the songs and tales untold
for none can ever see a trace
in domains dark where souls are sold

chill thoughts in solemn darkness tread
outside the sun’s beguiling spell
through barrens deep in mortal dread
of endless night and frozen hell

my voice lies mute in lifeless cold
where twilit lands may hide my face
beyond my youth and dreams of gold
conceal my wretched fall from grace

with stone and star I now will dwell
and grieve alone for words unsaid
leave bone and dust my fate to tell
weep silent tears that must be shed

I chase the light for so long; but then I realized I never knew what light looked like; whatever light I had in me was just a lighter shade of darkness

It feels like you died.
Gone, out of my life.
In that instant you were taken away...
I try to find you
I really try to
I can not let go of you 'til this day...
One day if I see you,
I hope you will remember me, too
I will greet you
With tears bleeding down my face...
I hope I do see you
I really need you
Losing you only added to the pain.
I hate to say this
Do not know how you will take this
But at times I felt like you were to blame...
Only 'cause I was angry
At the reality of never seeing you again...
But I was never upset with you anyway...
It just hurts deeply
Your absence completely
Destroyed any progress we made...
The depth of my grieving
Thoughts of you leaving
There are times I can not function for days...
I sit on my bed, crying.
Devastated and desperately whispering your name...
Wishing you back has not worked yet...
But I am hoping that it will, some day....

I feel so far removed from the carefree days of my youth
From when the wind brushed my face
I could smile without feeling an ache inside
Now our souls have become dark
My aura is charcoal
Clear waters have become blood stained
My disappointment runs deeper than a bottomless pit
And I still don't have the answers

Silvery torn
From ancient dark seeds
A flame to avenge
The blood-sullen deeds

Dripping down
From the pages of a book
The lines of ink
For blood they mistook

Panic spread as they ran
Destruction of their own design
Blades clashing and clashing again
Patterns as if the stars aligned

A spark escaped
And landed in straw
The blaze soon spread
Slashing with fiery claws

Soon the world burned
And left nothing but ash
The spears were broken
And all the swords crashed

Silvery torn
From ages old
The black dust
Turned into gold

the snake—
alluring notions held in its eyes
tongue twitching with noxious desire
arrogance held in a sauntered slink
vile venom dousing budding souls
—lends itself to this nature
