Cast Out

Cast out,Silver nets on starry ponds,Catching dreams darting by,Plucking shafts of moonlight,Singing the old songs,That breathe time into the air,And let fisherman grow old,While their stories only grow.

thoughtless

Thoughtless is the wind,To take up my musings so,And leave me... thoughtless.

8 Drawn Fortunes

Sycophants round the Empress' throne,Cackling as Fools dripping venomous influence,Hanging all sanity from the curve of the Moon,Quietly, quietly, slake our thirst with Lovers' blood,Until our Tower crumbles with a whisper,And the Wheel circles back around,When elysian Judgment walks again.

paper lanterns

Paper lanterns caststrange shadows on drifting ice,Pale light, dark waters.

Offline

Turn off the phone, friend,And put it off to the side,Be yourself again.

beneath grey skies

Beneath these grey skies,Winter sun brings meager hopes.A ghost left on read.

The Fort Unconquered

Safe in pillow forts,Beneath layers of blankets,Secret smiles and tears.Childhood escapes from the cold,Impregnable fantasy.

I slept for so long

I slept for so long,That my winter feels like forever,The cold that eats away at my memory,And the chill that settles in my throat,Stealing my thoughts and voice. I slept for so long,That spring is a long dream away,Locked away in a cold journal,Sketched in hesitant strokes,Forgotten in deepest inks. I slept for so long.

Dispersed with a Kiss

Heavy hopelessness,A sense of that mortal dread,Dispersed with a kiss.We are thankfully simple,To grasp hope so easily.

Dark Moon

The moon rises dark,Like a shadow of night sky,A hollow above.So reflected in my cup,May this drink be bottomless.
