The Shape of the Return
A canvas waits, as silence hums,The hush before the echo drums.A twist of thought, a curl of thread,Begins to dance where doubt had bled. A ribbon black begins to slide,Like memory curling deep inside.It loops through fire, it dips in grace,It maps the soul’s long-hidden place. Colors bloom where pain had grown—A reckless green, a […]
The Hollow and the Prism Path
In the land of Lirael, where the wind hummed ancient lullabies and the stars whispered secrets to the dew, there lived a man whose soul was an empty chalice. His name was Solen. Neither cruel nor kind, neither joyful nor sorrowful, he moved through life like a shadow tracing the edge of light—present, but never […]
The Quiet Hunger
People say humans are good. I don’t believe them. I have watched them when they thought no one was looking. I have seen the small thefts. The quick lies. The way they reach first for their own share and leave the rest to scramble. It is not anger I feel. It is something colder. Something […]
Walking Through Fire
She walks where shadows kiss the hem of flame,a daughter of the dusk, with storm for soul—the stars have sung to her a nameless name,whispered it through skies no man could stroll,and now, she bleeds for more than just a goal. She wears her longing like a winter cloak,heavy, fragrant with a history of snow—her […]
The Sea Knows No Names
The tide rolls in, the tide rolls back, No promises made, no trail, no track. The wind might whisper, the gulls might cry, But the sea does not ask, nor question why. A man may stand where the foam meets land, Feet half-buried in shifting sand. He may mark the line where the water ends, […]
Shadows Beneath the Dying Light
The midnight air, a shroud of silence,wraps the city in its hold.The moon, a widow draped in sorrow,casts her grief in light so cold. The alleys stretch like endless fingers,clawing at the past I’ve known.Each footstep rings through hollow tunnels,soft as whispers carved in stone. A raven’s cry—a thread unraveling,woven through the frozen gloom.Its voice, […]
The Call of Elsewhere
The walls lean too close—a room shrinking, folding inward,breath skimming its own echo.I press my palms against the silence,but it does not press back. Outside, the sky is stretched raw,split open by something unwritten.The wind shifts—no,it tugs.I am meant to move. Steps—heavy here,light there.Feet know what hands cannot hold.There is a road where the air […]
Echoes of the Infinite
A thought begins—a single spark,A whisper soft, a question dark.It twists, it turns, it bends, it sways,A labyrinth of endless ways. A single line, so straight, so true,Yet stretch it far, and it will skew.What once seemed fixed dissolves to haze,A spiral lost in time’s embrace. The past is near, the now is wide,The future […]
The Keeper of Ends
I know the way you curse my name,The way you flinch when shadows call.I see the fear, I feel the blame,Yet still, I come for one and all. I know the hands that reach in vain,The tear-stained pleas, the bitter cries.I know the weight, the hollow pain,The love that lingers, never dies. But I was […]
The Inevitability
He comes like the storm,a force unbidden, unchained, nameless,whispering through the hollow corridors of existence,reminding me that to resist himis to resist the movement of time itself.What is free will but a thread in the wind?What is choice when the flood has already risen?He is the rain, relentless, knowing,finding the cracks in my beingand seeping […]
