The cold bit his nose as he stood in the center of the blizzard that had raged on for centuries- that would perhaps rage on for centuries more. That would all depend on the pride in which he would hold during their negotiations.

He faced forwards, despite the wind that buffeted his face. It would do nothing to turn away. To meet his adversary in any other manner would be unfitting for him.

His l...

The lights had flashed through her head from the beginning of the night, blurring every second together into a mesh of booze and bare skin on her own. She had been told, years ago, that liquor would only worsen her misfortune.

She had not believed that for a long time. Her tools to control herself were limited, when she inspected them closely. Somehow a good shot of whiskey could do the job better...

The warmth of his hand crawled through her body, making the soft tears dripping from her chin a bit sweeter. It was torture, there was no relief from the way her heart beat between her ribs. After everything that they had felt together, what they had gone through, it was not fair that she had to feel like this.

They were destined to be the ends of Orion’s belt, she thought. They would never touch,...

He crossed his eyes and sighed. More than anything, he wished he could snap his fingers and get out of this place. Everything in sight promised him that he had gotten himself a whole lot deeper than he had signed up for. His luck, as usual, wasn’t the best.

The kids had been training tirelessly for months, honing their abilities through the small white rooms they were locked in. Between the bleak ...

Within all of us

There is a flame

Fed by love, and passion

And of course the sins of life

It burns down like a candle, dripping

Hot wax into our

Soft hearts

And still we keep going

Keep loving

Keep asking

What more is there to explore?

What have we missed?...

Kings and queens

With their mighty plumage will

Always be more beloved

Than the peasantry, their coats

Speckled and burned with black and brown

But even so,

If one looks closely

You can see

The flap of their wings

Pure movement incarnate in flight

There is no denying

Nothing could be more

Beautiful...

The dirt was as much her friend as the rain. Most of those who dared step foot on the holy soil of this place assumed the water was what gave it the ancient calling it had, the deep powerful ringing in the air. She knew different.

She had ruled over this place for as long as it had been around. Her father, watching her from above. Her mother whipping past her face every cold autumn. She knew every...

9/3/40-

Can’t remember much from last night. Maybe I should be used to it by now. It’s not like it’s ever going to change. I don’t need to leave the apartment to know this isn’t normal. Shit, why am I so tired?

No matter how many times I read the old journal it still doesn’t make any sense. It’s as if suddenly, last January, it all disappeared. Maybe someone did take them from me. As soon as it s...

I remember when the world was young

When I was content

Simply watching the bees and butterflies

Live, coexist

Its almost impossible to keep

The flame alive

When you see the world for what it is

It stings, but you can’t do much to soothe it

But forgive, and for the most part

Forget...

Nothing is wrong

Nothing is off

For the moment a beat falls awkwardly,

The moment she coughs to grab your attention,

It’s real

Is it not better to

Just Act Natural?...
