They said She had wings They said she could fly They promised that she Had come to Earth from a demon’s side

They said she could kill With a glance of ruby eyes They said she could will Endless darkness in our lives

They said she could smile And make our blood boil in our veins They said she could laugh And summon forth her hellish flames

They told her To leave us alone They told her to go ba...

Lights flicker with the coming of the eve The sunlight refracts against steep glass The sky darkens with foreboding for the night None notice how the days pass.

Lights blink in the feast of color Silhouettes rush past shooting stars Dusk’s gloom falls on the shoulders of the young Oblivious, they carry the sky.

Lights sparkle radiantly in Nyx’s starry eyes The moon bewitches those below Burdens ...

The willow weeps enough alone You need not cry with it

I hope you understand I need someone who understands And Every strand Of emerald leaves that falls like tears from the strong trunk of the great tree Knows me better Than I know the back of my own hand I have someone who understands Why should I keep looking? I’ll sit and cry Beneath sky Beneath the tree Because the willow is the only one...

As I looked into your eyes I saw my future go up in flames I saw the road before me burning instantly away And I was terrified that I would drop Far below and never find again the path which I had found

As I looked into your eyes I saw my future go up in flames I thought you knew that this was not the time for games I wished that I could know for certain what lies beyond that curtained smile Is ...

You keep the quilt pressed close to a sweating forehead, The golden light on to scare the dark Yet you jump at the sound of the mechanical lark.

Your wild eyes are forced open In a terrified trance you cannot deny You pray that no wolf will jump for sheep over a fence so high.

The lark screeches like an owl in the night Twelve chimes it shrieks And your heart leaps twelve times.

The creak and ...

Once the sun slips behind the horizon When tomorrow leers over tonight Shadows creep around quiet corners Claiming buildings as their own.

Once the moonlight sparkles dimly After darkness takes the town Buildings whisper to one another While roads speak of nights to come.

But far from urban solidarity Far from the comforts of sweet home Black woods loom on the city’s edge Unheard from until twi...

Sapphires ricochet off slate Magic swallowed by endless grey A path cut clear for all to see I’ll follow it to the end.

Bright smiles fade at ashen walls Gold light cracked by the length it falls Unfazed by sorrow, bliss and fear Stands steady, my heart of stone....

It’s so close I can touch it I can smell it I can breathe the air around it It’s so close I can hear the serpent whisper in my ear The fruits of my labor grow so near A whisker’s length away A beautiful death away A shaky breath and I say No But it’s so close Scales wrap around my neck Squeeze tight till I’m out of breath Change your mind they seem to say There’s still time they deign to pray Lau...

Hope fades So does the light The waters of the sea of grief Close in around me Tight I try to swim for where it was I try to scream for there it was And now it’s gone.

I claw desperately at salted air Green blue and dark And I am there Drowning there For there it was And now it’s gone When all hope fails, what do we rely on?...

It was a smile And then our fingers intertwined So soft and warm So kind and calm So perfectly divine It meant so much to me that first time

We walked along My hand slipped into yours I smiled and grinned Skin against skin I could have lost my mind It was so special because it was the first time

We ran away From all the eyes that watched I laughed and cried Moments frozen in time I was in a wond...
