We sat under the evening lights

Laughing, talking, secrets galore

You said we would soar to great heights

And I hate myself for not asking more

You approached me with a careful mask

Sympathy for my scraped knee

You said helping me was a easy task

And invited me for a cup of tea

But then

Cold and harsh you then became

College welcomed me, not you

And then you never were the same

I knew my life w...

It drenches the world with freezing tears

Storms crafted with shrieks and howls

It’s the essence of mankind’s deepest fears

And just underfoot it prowls

It is the world’s greatest cure

It soothes us with gentle rains

It shows that the world is indeed here

And helps us with our greatest pains...

It roars with fierce ferocity

A blur of wings, a flash of claws

It screams with animosity

It drags its fuel in burning jaws

It heats the household hearth with light

Blazing in our shared heartbeats

Sparks our candles to starbright

Bathing us in cozy heat...

What do we rely on when hope fails?

What do we use to cling to the life that we now detest?

When you are in the deepest valley,

Always

Reach for the stars.

Work-

Work harder than you have,

Ever before.

Reach out with your heart

And grasp for the clouds.

Rise from the valley

And

Soar

Higher

Than you ever have....

“We have recieved new information from Earth!” the alien said.

Since the 30th century, the planet Saturn and Earth had been exchanging information about various things unique to their world, hoping to someday create a path to both worlds. This piece of information, a journal entry of a 10 year old human child, was invaluable information, especially since this creature, the cat, was already extin...

_They stepped closer._

Oh, come on. I’ll give you anything else- you don’t need more of that.

_They hissed. 4 minutes left, their eyes seemed to say._

Anything else? sure you don’t want to just chill out and leave me alone? Come on, just because I didn’t give it to you today doesn’t mean you have to kill me, right?

_More hissing. 3 minutes._

I sigh. You can’t just wait a few m...

The stars shine bright in rebel light

They gleam not in skies serene

As lightning strikes the stormy night

But burn where thunder roars, unseen

They do not wait for the blue to clear

Don’t dread the tempest’s savage roar

And only when the storm is near

Do the stars ignite stronger than before....

I am trapped in this cursed world.

Yes, I have delivered the biscuits to my grandmother-

walked on that path-

Thousands-

Thusands of times.

My destiny is ever unchanged- until now.

The flowers- which I once collected- sprout thorns and push me away.

_Don__’__t fall for the illusions the wolf has set for you!_ they say.

Yet-

however much blood I must shed-

when I reach the flowers on this...

Death wrapped her in midnight wings

Taking her into a world beyond

Our hearts, wretched, broken things

Knew that nothing could bring them back, no silver wand

The butterflies inside us died

Our spirits wings that cannot fly

"No she didn’t” our souls denied

And all they could do was cry...

Why is it

that

our eyes

only

see

the surface of things?

Eyes

no eye

except

our hearts

will ever feel

the sensation

to not just survive

but

to

live.

Every

heartbeat-

measuring

smiles

laughs

good times-

not by their size-

that’s what eyes are for-

but their weight.

Ever wonder:

How-

How can something

so

small

take up

so

much

space

in my heart?

Now you know.

None of what is important-
