Short Sighted

T. R. Grey

1 min read

Beneath the tumultuous froth

Through which I sailed.

As I hoisted my heavy cloth

I swear I could see the glistening scale.


Of a maiden on the prowl

In the great old, cerulean sea.

And from the frigid, icy, bowels

Did she long stare back at me.


Her face, though fair

Reflected in her piercing gaze.

An expression I’d compare

To that wondrous, prussian maze.


I watched in quiet unrest

As she dove f...

Memories Of The Strawberry Moon

T. R. Grey

1 min read

Coal tar eyes, penetrating, taking away the pain

Ravenesque coils cascading, dancing like summer rain


That toothy grin, lips curling to reveal soft dimpled cheeks

Every part haunts me still, undoing any hint of peace


The semblance of happiness gone

Ripped away with the breaking of dawn


But the irony of this bittersweet tale

The dark coffin’s rusted nail


Your embrace is a sweet delight, already...

Hekate

Warned of her wrath

But burdened by arrogance

They committed their sin

And were felled by her magick

Those brothers with noble blood

And pride of equal measure

Sprouted feathers black as night

Cursed for the remainder of their lives

The years passed with their deafening cries

Cawing laments from dawn to dusk

Until the day they each drew final breaths

A solemn reminder of their hubris

Emblazon...

Wish Upon A Star

1 min read

Softly the wind blows against my cheek

Intangible kisses laid over my temple

Caressing my skin the way you would

As the regrets cascade over my being

I wonder if my avaricious tendencies

Could they have been quelled

With your touch, your presence

Or is this loss a blessing

To never truly know the truth...

Not Today

“Don’t be obtuse, Jackie. You know what Zoe meant.”

“...well maybe she should say what she means...” Jackie huffed.

Sol shot her a quick glare, Jackie rolling her eyes in response. Zoe opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by another voice behind her.


“C’mon guys, fighting won’t get us anywhere, now.”


The three turned to see Sol’s sister Flora, leaning against the, now open, hideout do...

Goddess

Grant me the means to fly far from this place

To soar beyond the limitations of this day

This life, this body


Shadowy feathers engulfed my being

As my wish was granted


I lost my humanity

But that day, I had gained so much more...

Dear Neptune

T. R. Grey

1 min read

Everyday, as I stare into these mirrored waters

I am reminded of just how much I look like him

But more than anything

I feel how much I truly miss him


So I sit here pleading to the gods

Begging to bring my brother back to me

I have no greater wish, and no hope of an answer

If wishes fell like rain, then certainly I am a storm...

“Don’t take that tone with me.”


“Well, what tone should I take, Your Highness?!”


“I’ve afforded you nothing but respect! The LEAST you could do is acknowledge that!!”


“Oh, so everything I’ve done means nothing to you!”


“....that’s not what I said.”


“But—“


“Nor is it what I meant... I know all this has been hard on you. And I do appreciate your efforts. I just...never mind. I’ll see you tonig...

De Vil’s Aroma

T. R. Grey

1 min read

Trudging along the narrow street

City lights blinding my eyes

Just then my heart skipped a beat

For a new scent stirred my mind


I searched in a fever

To uncover its source

Following the sweet ether

That beckoned with subtle force


The mystery reaching its finale

In that pitch black alley


She stood in shrouded darkness

Her grave, eerie countenance

Bearing such a starkness

Against the soft fragra...

Renaissance Isle

T. R. Grey

2 min read

I shifted under a faint canopy of leaves, eyeing the ebb and flow of pale waves just a few feet from where I sat. I closed my eyes for a moment to breathe in the salty air, as the tide rolled out, slower than I remembered. The sun, crowning over the horizon, cast a gilded film along the tiny island, far as anyone could see. With a smile spread across my face, I leaned back on my hands, digging the...
