Our hearts laid
on a bed of
halcyon nights,
so it seemed,
as deep within,
yours held a
rapacity for
others.
Tranquil and
picturesque,
it was all but
a pipe dream,
and I became
a shattered
garnet
amongst
gun smoke.

Let loose
the pain
of my
soul,
set free
a mind,
transcend,
to be
bold.
Part me
from these
nightmares
without
strains
of doubt,
and I shall
release
words
unto the
world,
splattering
ink
across
galaxies.

She reigns
in purples
and blues.
Though
unable
to see,
our queen
will always
discover
the wrongs
you do.
She rules
over a
surreal
land,
to you
and me.
We must
change
our perspective.
Then,
we shall
bleed
how she
bleeds.

As the mist clears
silent pulse

virulent pathogen
spewing vitriol
rose will not die !
she is wired to fight back

Captivated
by the way
you move
flames,
a mischievous
smile
on display.
Cunning
were your
tricks,
sensational,
made of
magic
and wit.
Oh,
but how
unfortunate
was that
which
carried you
away.
Aghast.
Thought
to be an
urban legend
until
that
day.

Porcelain skin
Red crowning glory
I'm a wolf
Not Saint
A predator first

Grief's storm
twists
seconds
into minutes
into hours
into days.
A sorrow
wrenching
skies
in all
greys.
It deepens,
pulling us
towards
should be
forgotten
yesterdays.
So I sit
with a
friend
who watches
the world
with me.

Don't be my nightmare
But my dream
Love me until
Fragile heart believes

Inked in
sanguineous
tones
was her
crown,
and with
true
grit,
our queen
never
backed
down.
Seemingly
soft
was her
every
edge,
but deep
inside,
she
harboured
it.
What, you ask?
Never
you
mind,
lest
it hears
your
thoughts.

To an ocean my words
Quids worth of ink to tell them
How you mesmerize my mind
Morph me into madness
Wanting you
The sea in me

In deimatic fashion, it rose up hoping to dissuade the predators but short of morphing into a dangerous creature, it was doomed.

She will mesmerize while her form
continues to morph in a deimatic display
hoping to distract while she makes her escape
to the open seas
