What's it like to watch as the sun rises— To look upon the clouds that have befriended the sky? Or to stand within the warmth of morning's light— To follow, with your eyes, the romance of eventide? What's it like to gaze upon the quiet glory of the stars— To search within for meaning beneath the dr...Read more

See how the sky unfolds in beauty, The Earth, the moon, And the stars that linger above. These things I cannot compare with you. But, in my heart, I hold something true— A love that shines only for you. ...Read more

Most lovely and wondrous are the stars From which thine eyes were crafted. Reflecting the world thou holdeth within, They beareth a light unknown to man. The radiance that thou givest, It is as the star that warms my heart. It is a cloak thou wearest with pride, In the same way, thou wearest thy sm...Read more

Thou needest not conceal thyself, Nor seal thy hand in thy bosom. For in the ever-progress of the world, Thou art a treasure most coveted. Thou art as the blacksmith, A refiner of steel and metal alike. Thou art as the potter and the weaver, A master of craft and its beauty. Rejoice at the fruits...Read more

Red is the colour of blood And of a precious gemstone. A reminder of your love and affection, And a comforting touch of your lips. Orange bursts with warmth and amity, A ceaseless longing for adventure. It is the colour of autumn leaves, A flame that dances through your hair. Yellow is the colour...Read more

Beware the one-eyed man. He comes with gifts or feigns distress, To be your friend or enlist your help, But in truth, he will steal your breath. Beware the one-eyed man. The night is his, and so are the streets, To walk free is only a dream, In defiance, you receive his fists. Beware the one-eyed ...Read more

Do you know of the stories told? Passed down by those before us. Few believe that the truth holds, And deem the tales but hollow lies. Hooded figures who embrace the shadows— Some say they rule the night. They live amongst us all, Yet in this realm, they do not belong. They weave their will throug...Read more

He is as a lion— Fierce and mighty. His sword stands triumphant over evil, And uplifts the weak. He is as the sun— Gifted and good. He lays bare his heart, And brings the dark into light. He is as a dove— Pure and humble. For the drawing of his sword Is a service to the people. He is as the kin...Read more

I led trusting in a fragmented "truth", Heeding the voices, Seizing the "wisdom" they shared. But, was it truly a lie— What I had judged for myself? Did it not grant me peace? Should I not have listened? You heard what they said. Surely—they could not have been wrong. ... Peace, after all, must ...Read more

Wrapping itself in light, It promises comfort to the broken— Albeit, for a moment, it is accepted. It is in this temporary shelter That one slips deeper into the shadows, Until only the shadows remain....Read more

Herein I have learned to rest in darkness, A refuge, Wherein the voices dwell. They speak to me of things unseen, Of truths concealed and veils never to be lifted— Or so I am told. They whisper, And I choose to listen. Scribing—taking hold of what should never have been given....Read more

I know of the voices, Visiting you at midnight— They whisper to me, too. I will not tell what they speak. At least— Not in the light—no matter how faint....Read more

Have you heard? I heard the men speak of it. Far from this land— A creature lies asleep in the mountains. Claws sharper than the edge of a blade, And teeth that bite through iron. So the men speak of it. There it sleeps—in the mountains. Have you heard? It is soon to awake—and then feast. On what...Read more

Truly, I have become a monster. A wanderer of a world unseen. Detestable to the living and the dead alike— Vermin of the world, I daresay. My heart knows no peace, My eyes know no sleep. In the light of day and the light of night, I am as a corpse—tormented. They grow louder with each passing mom...Read more

Create in me a heart of steel, Refined in fiery flames. Create in me a steadfast will, To endure the storm ahead. Help my heart grow To understand love. Help my heart grow To rest in peace. To know of greatness Is to know of you. To know of life Is to dwell in you....Read more
