Around the magical stories swell. Tales of giants who fell in love with princesses, of sailors who lost their hearts to mermaids, of fairies who serenaded moons. But my eyes are fixed on the wondrous firefly, hovering above the fire, with its own story to tell.

Running in my dreams
Chasing all my hopes
in the shadows
Hunting down those leads
I never can remember
How everything turns out
Awakening comes way too soon
And I'm left wondering
Wrapped in pensive doubt

come with me,
kiss like the moon does the night
...pretend that it lasts.

She to the window, beckoned by the billowing drapes. Teetering on the sill, she bounds into air. Her wings sprout like magic, & she flap towards the stars. Gleefully she laughs and twirls up to the moon. Pain and disappointment are left trapped in her sheets.

I’ll give ‘em trick or treat. They set my lawn on last yr. So I’ve dusted the cookies w/ special ‘sugar.’
‘I made a new batch,’ says my wife. ‘Dropped the 1st lot. Oops!’
I choke on my tea. Is she trying to me?
‘Drink up dear. I added extra sugar.’

Again the dark room,
Again those whispers..
I am in your eyes I can see,
I am in your mind I know,
When you smile,
Your heart beats on my lips,
I am in your heart,
I feel it,
Do u feel it too?
Eyes opened,
He stared at blood red lips,
Fingers touching cold skin.

She sat ruminating in the he had her badly, it was humiliating. He would pay with his life but first, she would have some fun with him. Her cave needed decorating; his beautiful breast would look lovely next to Lulu’s head.🖤

Love was never an
He knew that she was his.
Ten years of loneliness,
A childhood frozen in time.
Here he stands now,
With his trembling heart,
Eyelids heavy with dreams.
Will she come?
He asked to the curious,
Little robin,
As a lovely girl walked,
Towards him.

Once upon a time,
In a far away place,
The prettiest girl in town

Big brown eyes,
Full of
In a soft baby face

A Moonless night
Was her long dark hair,
A happy carefree soul,
of everyone

But love found her,
By candle light,
Under a shadowed sky..

I am no stranger
to the vast cosmos above
Would you like a tour?

I sing the rite of passage. From the depths, the arises, tidal waves dancing in his wake.

"#Lyrical-ly," he boomed, "#flawless. But... a bit pitchy."

"Shall I try again?"

"No, Gods, anything but that. Please, pass!"

Beneath the dim sky,
Where rivers whisper,
Love stories,
In testimony of joy and regrets,
You kissed
Tears flowed,
Sweet waters now run saline.
Lonely I stand,
At oceans break,
Waves lashing at the earth,
My sorrow now a full storm
As the heart blows like a wind..

Tonight lit whispers call,
The day has turned
To hours
More movable,
The coffee has turned cold
But in the dusk
Fireflies colour my world
More beautiful~
They speak
In mystical verse
Blink their light to find me,
For i’m forever unrehearsed
And they know how,
To guide me

The man was sitting on our bench,
Carved deep into the faded
Were two names.
A place I’ve haunted for years,
Waiting for the sign.
Under the dusked Sky,
His face looked familiar.
Piercing blue eyes,
The smile a warm sunrise,
As he whispered..
«The time has come..»

Once they lie dormant like a sealed vessel until “Hallows Day,” and while is curtailed—silent little hiding out in the and once concealed are revealed.✍️🏽

My eyes slowly circle a room.
First to a childhood born of fear; then to an adult life filled with so much to cry for.
Until I notice that the room is empty now, & all that I have ever loved has now withered away in a breathless smoke.
Angelic.
A in starlight.

Your cousin
prophesied my demise
vociferous
Beaks peck my eyes
since I no longer stir

Your plumage wets
Red
You pick flesh from my
My lost love Lenore
Escorts my spirit home

Scared to death
Heart attack alone
Your dirges ring
Mocking tones
