Our Paradise

The crackle of flameThe warmth of touchThe feeling of comfortThat only you bring. The thrill of adventureFound in your embraceThe feeling of safetyWhen I look at your face. Our first chapter draws to a close. I’ve not been the man I said I’d be. Yet my love runs ever deeper.I yearn for your hand in…

The Eternal Scale: Part 4

“Ah the Goldleaf Farm!” Aldrick exclaimed as the entrance to the modest residence came into view. It was situated in a fenced off area separate from the fields surrounding it, and featured a small pond and a detached structure with multiple doors surrounding it. “Good folk they are, and room enough for travellers! Though,” he…

Umbra

That biting coldMy familiar friendThe only companionIn this eternal night. Cast to darkness once againAbandoned by the moonlightDenied the warmth of coming dawnI slide to the shadows, my home. Which is not to sayThe dark prison of earthIs something to detestAnd resent. I yearn to stretch beyond the horizonTo dance among the starsTo court the…

Review: Rain

Fall, rain, fall.  Wash the world, Rinse us of sorrow and strife.  Each perfect drop, splendor untold, Crash upon our world, provide us life.  If only you could cleanse all of the Earth.  Gently now you mist the surroundings, Soothingly now you calm the soul.  All is made clear, clouding things, Never relent, nor lull. *** Published 11/13/10 This…

Review: Return

All we have done is suffer and fight When all I crave is love and respite.  Where once I felt my heart warm and bold Now is there only sorrow and cold.  I long to return to how we were Those faded memories seem to blur.   Long have I feared losing you for good Observing you leave from where…

Review: Symbolism?

I walked away, and everything was fine.I walked away, and under some trees. I stopped to look up at the dying leaves,shaped like hearts, listing in the breeze. The wind picked up, and one floated free.It landed perfectly in front of me. From that moment on my heart weighed heavy.I only wonder what it all…

Review: Fields of Enlightenment

Something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile is transfer over some of my old writing from when I really started trying to do it for “fun.” I’ll place these in my “Creative Writing” section but they will have “Review:” before the title of the original. I’ll then copy the original text, and then write…

Fractured

Those echoes on the cold empty air Unobstructed by light, warmth, and life.

Sunrise

Strange it is to have words fail youTo watch, to engage, and never pin them down. Stranger still, though all familiar,Is to recognize the word in the smallest moment. An idle glance, the spoken words already slipping awayThe last rays of light finally making it clear. On the longest night, we had chased the sun…

The Eternal Scale – Part 3

Enyo awoke to a loud thud at her door. She sprang from her bed, hands raised to unleash her powers…

Moonlight

What right do I have to bask in the moonlight?That gift from the goddess of my skyWhich washes over my blackened soul. I am a creature born of night,Meant to be forgottenTasked with all the wrongs of the world. Does that make me cold? No.Yet it seems inevitable thatAll I’m seen as is the monster…

The Eternal Scale – Part 1

The appointed time arrived, and at the appointed place, a cloaked figure snaked through a narrow passageway to stand on a precipice overlooking the ocean far below. The moon hung high in the sky, providing the only light on a clear night.

The Eternal Scale – Prologue

The gentle current of the Golden Strait lapped lazily at the thick walls of the fortress known as Sentinel Point.

Haunting Hearts

A phantom dwellsWithin my heart Graceful, beautiful, yet haunting. Long has the spirit lingered near mineDistant, yet ever close. Brown haired and blued eyedNever failing to steal my breath. A feeling nowA hope, it draws closer. How long does our journey stretch? I find myselfLooking back. Do you recall the same? Youthful affectionOf hopping socks…

Atop the Stairs

I have never knelt before YouFor I detest the yokeBut is that the only reason whyI choose to turn from Your light? For truly, I do not even know who You areThe one they claim You to be?Or perhaps one of the others?Are you none of them at all? No one ever told meTo linger…
