Tracks
Flakes of crystal diamond bright
Moon of silver casting light
Field and forest rising night
And tracks upon the snow
Greetings brother you have passed
Your steps preserved in winters cast
They tell your strength is fading fast
And death you may soon know
A hunt began, to find the lost
Too young to pay the final cost
Beneath the white and bitter frost
A shaking form is found
Reach gentle hands to lift the form
Tuck next to heart to keep him warm
A journey back through coming storm
He doesn't make a sound
By fireside and tinseled pine
A pair of figures now recline
By purest chance or grand design
It changes all they'v
The poor mad girl
Ran from the rain
Clawing her face
Absorbing the pain
She fell to the floor
Rocked to and fro
Trying to grasp reality
Shivering head to toe
Then the voices came
Whispering kindness
Wiping her tears
Sight in her blindness
"Don't go" she cried
"They think I'm insane
And who other then you
To take the blame?"
"Fragile mortality"
The voices sighed
"A delicate creation
Emotions all tied."
She wanted to weep
All over the floor
This insufferable madness
Was too hard to ignore
The voices stayed
Kept her alive
She learnt to love
She learnt to thrive
Until one day
Where the voices did not speak
But she
I see horror behind closed eyes
I find I'm fleeing from my demise
As I feel my growing fear
I sense the monster lurking near
I hear his voice inside my head
He's screaming that he wants me dead
As I feel him strike at me
I have no reason left to flee
I feel the end coming close
Death is what I fear most
But though that's how things may seem
I know that this is just a dream

Literature
Where Light is Swallowed
I only step out when no one is coming home
The sun sets, and drags the veil from my eyes
I sink just below your searching lights
There is a heaven in this night
that evacuates my mind into the world around me
Where I'm going, there will be no stopping
I'll glance over my shoulder,
then I'll disappear
he tastes like original sin, that first burn of alcohol down your throat. he touches you like dawn touches the ground, sweetly and slowly, but there's something too sharp there, something in his eyes and the way he sounds like guilt, maybe like that time when you covered your ears because the world was too loud. you're wearing red lipstick that's a shade too red but that doesn't matter, because the apple doesn't ever fall too far, does it, and he is always where you belong. you don't want to think about his liliths and their fig leaves, and eve has been too overrated a role for you to play. he tastes like god struck him down and lucifer embra
The pain behind her eyes is a dark result of unjust.
The tears she dries outside those eyes...result from tries at trust.
Her soft pink lips of truths and honesty, lie with every 'I'm okay'...
Her rosy cheeks she hides and covers... gain red in times she feels betrayed.
The rhymes she spits come from the bottom of her always broken heart.
With each word she hears a thunderous crack, as she falls even more apart.
At times her sore brain wonders if her body can take much more of this.
At times she wonders if she died yesterday...today would she be missed?
But when times got tough this time around...you came into her life
The hope you
My heart is frozen
From the coldness of your stare
There is no longer warmth
In the "love" that we share
There is no longer kindness
In that expression you always wear
You don't love me!
You don't even care!
I'm leaving you
Though you say I wouldn't dare
I know that I won't miss you
That's what I declare
It's hard to miss a love that was never even there
It is the a habit of the grass, over which I spend my waking hours, to cling all it can reach. Several billion watery prisms chill the breath, and they are welcome. Sweet holds mean more than told when nuzzled by the dew. Still, never does the world feel more open than when hilltops are licked by the sun's foretelling glow. Here starts a new day.
Pines quiver in this hour, awaiting the kiss of light. They are not like the small children who squeal their excitement; they are elders, whispering forgotten words with eyes bright and wide. They wear the wind and it suits them well.
The sky is clear, crisp. Shadowed clouds herd together and flee
"Dusk? They say fire kills, but they're wrong, aren't they?"
"Yes, Dawn, they're wrong. They're all wrong."
"Why don't they see? Why don't they hear?"
"They're blind, Dawn. Deaf too. They don't know how."
"Oh."
The small house goes up in flames and returns to ash.
"Adam?"
"My name is Dusk."
"No, your name is Adam. Don't you remember?"
Silence.
The routine is familiar to the young doctor. It hasn't changed in the eight months she's been working with him.
"Adam?" She tries again.
"My name is Dusk."
Dusk.
It was the name given to him by someone. Someone who smiles a lot. Someone who told stories to fire and spoke of things to come.
