A Winter's Knight

In the twilight, she could just barely make out the river up ahead through the quietly falling snow. They were almost at their journey's end.       "Almost there Kate, maybe an hour or two more," she called down to her dear friend. Blanketed and strapped securely on the sled's cargo bed, Kate nodded slightly as two shining black eyes looked up to regard Jessie. The tiny black poodle, the sixth member of their sled team, Knight, whimpered softly.      "Don't worry boy. We'll get her there in time," she said, her voice muffled by the scarf around her face.      When the dogs slowed as they reached the frozen river's edge, Jessie called o

Abyss

Reach out, blindly fearing hoping to brush the warmth of your fingers, your hand. It is not to be. Only to be met with emptiness, vast nothingness. Choking on breath, words stick like rocks in my throat. No choice left, tears slip beneath salt-crusted lashes to mix with the sea. The abyss yawns below, lit only by those deep dwellers. Welcoming me back. I sink further into my Ocean, into the fathomless dark. Wicked teeth, needle sharp bared to me in a rictus grin as i drift ever deeper.

Left Unsaid

     Two ships passing on the sea, river, ocean. The life waters that connect us. The blood in me, is the blood in you.      My eyes slide over, our gazes, like our words     touch, never quite meeting. Spaces between visits grow. The long silences, awkward and chafing, the only acknowledgement of what lies between us.      The past, the present? The future, the lives that might have been shared. The echoes of it all resound in the gaps left between our words.       All unsaid, hidden safe and raw behind si

Darkfire

The flame of my heart died slowly, embers fading, glowing softly in the dark. My dark, of which I am so familiar yet still find so strange. Frightening creatures of my creation carry pieces, into the inky depths as the last spark is snuffed out. Then you smile. My reflection shattered, piercing the velvety blackness with your brilliance. Lighting once more the barren plains and squalid oceans of my soul. Your life giving Sun, driving back shadows which seek to devour me. Bask in your warmth, lighting my face, renewed. Ashes catch burning bright and cheerful. But there, lurking beyond the firelight, hidden. The darkness wai

. . . In Shining Armour

Flowers drift in endless ocean Emptiness flows through darkest night Light recedes when lengthening shadows fall A dark time upon the land.        Blight and plague run free of restraint        Hope and love imprisoned now        A knight, warrior is beseeched to aid. Hooves pound on cracked earth Silver gleams in brightest moonlight Dark shudders when shining sword falls Life returns again to the land.        Love and hope flow merrily forth        Plague and blight bound in chains.

Untitled IV

Long it has been since i have been truly loved. Began to see it as a myth, you showed me wrong. You healed my wounds, touched my heart. Gave me hope and love. Stolen my heart, i belong now to you.

Thorns of Rage

Your attempts to burn through me are in vain yet this fire is all that warms my frozen soul. I shall never take heed to your feeble attempts to warn. Warning which drifts empty across chaos. My thorns lie deep, yet ready to retract and impale your spirit like a stardust kiss splintering your heart. In your darkest wishes and palest nightmares lessened. Staggering in this depthless night, the barest flicker fades. My toxins will suffocate your last breath's attempt. You will be finished.
