There once was a girl with crimson eyes and haunting black hair.

She was owned by the night, danced in the stars twilight.

Her smile was calming, her demeanor chillingly pure.

But no one knew her, no one but the moon’s waning eyes.

For she had become an outcast from her once perfectly crafted life.

She stayed in the dark where none could see her, hid from all things familiar.

That’s why she...

Fog surrounded the lone building, making it hard to see the lake. The fog created a peacefulness only she or someone like her would see. A tear slid down her cheek, sparkling from the light of the lake house. She nodded, not knowing why, and slipped back into the lake house....

Fall has always been my favorite season. The chill in the air is just enough to keep me awake as I gazed in wonder at the changing leaves. I walked slowly through shades of red and orange, taking the time to enjoy a quiet Saturday.

After I picked up my pumpkin spice coffee, I found a window seat. I watched the world pass by through that window, smiling at the tiny glimpse of each person’s life f...

She always felt like an outsider,

Like she didn’t belong.

They told her they didn’t like her,

That her existence was wrong.

Another unwanted child,

Another person to dislike.

She lived in endless darkness,

She wished for warm light.

She would whimper as each blow rained down.

Her delicate skin a mixture

Of blues, purples and reds,

On top of her beautiful olive skin.

She would painfully crawl

Un...

My vision hazy

I close my eyes

Feeling it prickle my skin

Circling around me

Caressing my body

It’s cold bite sends shivers down my spine

I breathe it in

Filling my lungs

I sigh, feeling it pass through my lips

With each breath

It creeps into my mind

A clouded version of the world around me

My thoughts are comforted

Wrapped in a old worn blanket

Im home...

It’s unfocused, like a glossy gaze.

The tears of an angel, glazing overhead like the mist rising from the salted waves in a sea.

Hiding like a heavenly protector, knowing what it keeps.

It’s a weeping woman as beautiful as the blowing breeze in a coastal village.

Her tears roll down for she can’t find a thing in this fog.

Her hands shake as she wipes her tears, her lips parted, a kiss away...

In the quiet blush of predawn, when the world still slumbers beneath a gentle hush, a veil of silvery mist descends upon the waking land. It drapes over hedgerows and cottages alike, as if nature herself has unfurled a soft, translucent banner to celebrate the arrival of a new day.

I stepped out into this delicate world, a wanderer amidst wonder. Each footstep on the dew-kissed path left an impr...

Fog curls upon the streets.

It rises and twists

like dancers appearing from mists

And vanishing just as quick.

Like a lover’s finger

A tendril of fog grazes my skin

sending shivers that linger…

Ever the softest caress.

The fog is playful,

Impishly so.

I swear it giggles.

The whispers sweetly

To draw me in.

It dances beneath lamplights

In unfettered abandon

As if freed

From a lifetime of inhib...

When I awoke this morning, my room had the hues of twilight

Morning was doing its best to peek through the windows,

But Darkness was currently winning the fight.

Believing I had more time to dream, I sank back into my pillow

Glanced at my phone to find out how many hours I had to spare

And good thing I did, because it gave me quite the scare!

It was my typical time to start the day

My biological...

And through the fog, her distant shape beckoned me, calling me ever closer

I reached out desperately, crying for the beauty that I would never see clearly...
