Nightshade

Another stab at wacky free form. Adapted from Angel Beast. #nightdweller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I opened my sacred book
again at days end, and saw smiling grimace against daily imperfections.

Why are these wings of mine bound by so many angry punctuation marks,
like fire ant brigade marching from dawn to dusk?

This spine of mine is made creased by too many nocturnal inquiries, and
shadows hide splendor

They do not forgive
the mammal beast that swivels from east to west, west to east in endless yearning.

Why do I hunch studious over this book, drinking nightshade tea, when incandescent light does nothing

to make miscible the angel beast?

Phantom

Phantom, with your eyes so bright, Can you take away the night. Phantom, with your heart so cold, Can you keep me young and old. Phantom, with your diamond vice, Can you take my heart of ice.

Burnt Words

The lines of poetry twist and turn, A maze of words untouched, unturned. Each golden drop of sunshine burns, Every word as ashes leave, blurred.

Emotion Suspicion

Is this fate, Or is this love. Is this real, Or a gift from above. Is this destiny, Or is this perfection. Is this true, Or just small affection. Is this life, Or is this your heart.

Slow Burn

Slow burn. Worlds turn. And yet they stay. In their place today. Times change. And rearrange. Embrace the new. When they look for you. The old will seem. Like a fading dream. They hide, they guide.

Words

Words are my toys, that bend and do not break. Like an unbreakable sword, double edged, give or take.

Stars

There are those that do believe. That the stars represent our souls. Our lost ones looking over us. Watching how our lives unfold. But I believe the stars. Represent wishes held in our hearts.

My Wish My Dream

I wish wishes. Didn't exist. I wish the world. Was woven with bliss. I wish that life. Never took nasty twists. And that prayers. We're not needed. And that pain. Was a myth. I have a dream.
