Poem: The Silenced

Voiceless, speechless, caged, enraged. Entrapment within oneself. Externally, internally silenced. Drowning in the tide; wading in quicksand that rips the salvation from the soul. Wonderless, wordless as they bind and tie the very existence and essence of eternity. Gagged, bound by all that is dark, treacherous and treasonous. A poison to the heart, a mirroredContinue reading “Poem: The Silenced”

On the Wind

Topsy turbie in the wind the dragon scales have sung again. Whistling wildly through the trees what breath has ignited this gentle breeze. What talons have sharpened the eves as the whispers haunt the soul. Ruffling your hair like a hurricane that drifts along the ocean’s caress. What wild blustering seasons have swept with theContinue reading “On the Wind”

Luna

Shimmering, gleaming always streaming through the night and the shades of the trees. The sister, mother, brother of the sun. Whispering history or the future in the dreams of children abound. Sleepless slumbers of those of darkness never weaving the song of eternity. Luna, illuminate all that transpires of the darkest tides of earth andContinue reading “Luna”

Poem: Morning Glory

What sweet nothings that fell from your lips as the sun kissed the morning shores. Empty promises that fell into the watery depths that spewed from the tongue of the one who claimed to be bound to a soul reflection. The love now turned bitter upon the heart and thoughts no more linger within theContinue reading “Poem: Morning Glory”

“The” One

The one or just one, In the sea of endless souls. We hear the whispers and feel the dreams as love always unfolds. Sweet words and timeless memories that cascade over our existences. Just one, not always the one to wrap about every cell and thought that descends into the depths of just being. SketchContinue reading ““The” One”

Chance

Once, twice you risk it all. On thrice watch it fall. Whispers of eternity dashed in the wind. Sprinkled to the earth to bring an end. Wildly thrashed and opened wide some shut tight, others to bide. What creations shredded on the blades of time, that know no pain, love or fear. Whisps of nonchalantContinue reading “Chance”

Deception

As the world falls into chaos, how does one stand upon the edge of oblivion? In faith and tradition, or perhaps ambition and superstition. Plunged into the depths of the unknown. Wickedly deceitful strings are pulled, what illusion shall shatter that harbors the wool? Wonderous creations that lure and betray the mind’s eye of theContinue reading “Deception”

Poem: Dragon Spell

Fantasy, myth, legend…whispered upon the wind, call it an old friend filled with stories of antiquity. Weaved like a cacoon, an old tune. Tickles the senses and just out of reach. Perhaps the secrets strike with the lightening from above and gather in the earth below. A dragon’s spell? One never knows what language theyContinue reading “Poem: Dragon Spell”
