let's take the train & go to nowhere
lonely like children of war
cut in two the pain for one night
the kiss of the love that could be
rhythm of three beats in each bar
let's go where they sell
years pass by in one night
& the train to nowhere will not stop

My strange companion.

She recalled nothing of her past life, but could fight like a dozen demons.

Sometimes we'd argue. But to have an ally - even an undead one - was sunshine and in a world gone to blazes. And she appreciated my skill with needle and thread.

Her essence carved into,
Your soul,
Like a precious stone,
A Ruby drop embedded,
In gold,
The love that you carry,
As a talisman on the left,
Side of your skin,
Pierces your flesh,
And sets your inner fire,
Ablaze…

The girl in the mirror,
Looked back at him,
With eyes
Bare of dreams,
Hug me she whispered,
Until my eyes closed,
See my lashes tremble,
Let your lips soothe them,
I will burn again with love,
And weave new dreams…

Can't this enough
On yourself you're too tough
I'm naturally slim
It's the curse of Grim
'Before weigh in
See your stats dip'
You've gone too far
Frankly quite bizarre
Silly you must feel
After your skin you did peel
Oh, is that my veg peeler?

They say all your troubles end once you visit the magical river. At its shore, they say, is a staircase that leads to the riverbed, and once you reach the all you do, is walk. The leeches in the wet silt suck out the bitterness, and all your worries.

when in love
we ventured deep
into that sea
went as deep
as deep can be
love's prismatic light
shone on us
one light
many colors
refracted
red at the top
violet at the
but then we parted
you took the red
left me with violet
two ends of a spectrum
that never meet

Woke on a choke of ashes. The Last Days~ as disastrous as proclaimed. Then the dismay. Atmosphere changed. Only could hear the sound of pain.

Time Travel's never mundane.

Watch Mother's immortal roses suffer thru a winter & thrive.
Flowing with defiance, they themselves turning orange, and do.
Much to the dismay of Stepmother, who purses her lips, longing for cherry red.

Now you see.

Even in Death- Mother calls the shots.

Hours of achromatic dreaming,
Scorpion bites pulsate~
A taste of you
Am I sleeping?
Do I alternate to hibernate..
Angel of death you steal me now,
Six crows fly in circles
Above,
Hallucinate to appeal me now..
I crave your venom~
Not your,
Love~

Singing Sunset sliced the air, its edge an extension of the weapon she herself was.

The dance freed her to reflect on what he had left her. The arts of blade and bow. How to step lightly, and gain the mountain blessings.

And the mission to complete in his stead.

Brutal, even.

Feel a
Neither hunger or guilt
Time you rang
Grim's land of quilt
Snuggle up
Nice and safe
Keep your feet in
For goodness sake
That sinking feeling
Fear what Monday brings
Fend it off
With sleep's fair wings
Trust me
They don't call me the big sleep for nothing

So many of you make this look so easy.
I toil over words for what seems like hours.
You all, though- you seem to barely even break a sweat.
