Through darkness it shines, Light dances on frosted skin, A new summer grows.
Nature takes her time, To make the best of the world, We have left behind.
A silent flicker of dazzling shine, Across and beyond the deepest skies, Rippling over the salty brine, In flushes of colour, in jade she flies, Bring heart to the temple, The crimson and gold, The lanterns are gliding, A story to be told…
Batman! Goes down the alleyway, Car comes the other way, Flatman! ~My Brother
In dark, dusty streets and blackened squares, Orbs of glowing bright light, in pairs, Light up the lives of passers by, Give hope to those who need to try, In red and gold and silver, sparkling here and there, With little shiny tassels, t…
All is quiet, peaceful, still, People, oblivious, carry on, until, The sky darkens, a muddy blue, A hundred feet high and heading for you, Devouring houses, swallows a town, And all the while come crashing down, Down, down, down, it hurl…
A twirl of wind, The slightest gust, Brushed away, To turn to dust, Then comes heavy, Wind and rain, Bearing down, Intent on pain, The force of purest nature, The turn of stormy seas, Mph over a hundred, Trees stripped of their leaves, H…
Don't go chasing shadows, or the shadows might chase you back. ~Me
Have you seen the dancing shadows? They flicker and they glide, They tap on wooden window panes, And across the room they fly, They jig upon the mantelpiece, And creep under tatty old rugs, They pirouette on the cobblestones, And hide behi…
Douglas' story was rather unnerving, it scared me, and I wasn't easily scared. "Have you ever walked on the moor at night?" "No," I replied, trembling slightly. "Then you're lucky, and so am I, cos I got away alive, many don't live to see…
I hated the countryside the first time I saw it, looming Dartmoor hills, it felt wrong, it made me miss London, where you could see where you were going if the sky got dark, it was no place for a city girl. The Ragged Ram, the pub where …
A cat allows you to sleep on the bed. On the edge. ~ Jenny De Vries
Dogs come when they are called; cats take a message and get back to you. ~ Mary Bly
Dusty paths of endless grey, Once the hunter, now the prey, Stumble through crowds of blurry strife, Busy murmur of urban life, People upon people, who couldn't care less, With their own problems, they walk on, clueless, The lack of spec…
Soft, blinking eyes of shining night, Open the curtains and see the light, Everlasting emptiness, infinite, true, Deepest shades of ebony-blue, Speckled twinkles on a starry sky, Take a moment, look up, and wonder why, Complex, amazing, …
Miko, the ancient varg word for small and fast, it fit, the tiny cub had grown accustomed to following her now. He would nip at her heels when he was hungry, there were deer and rabbit carcasses littered all over, obviously the thing's doin…
A binding of fate seals your demise, Bound by destiny, tonight the dead rise, We seep into dreams, memories and desires, Watch from the corners, looking glass through fires, Spying, searching, calling for you, They cackle and moan, intent…
Muscles tense as golden paws lift, Large, but silent, beat as the sand shifts, Mane wafts in the light breeze, Across the savanna with effortless ease, Eyes, luminescent, amber lure, Slits, ebony splendour, against golden fur, Tail flick…
She could feel it, the danger was getting closer, deep in her bones. She knew this feeling, she had felt it before they took her there, to the nightmare. She was scared, up until she found a fresh blood-mark, and she knew it was time. This …
Twisting ivy wrapped around ebony wood, Jade leaves hang from trees strongly stood, Draped vines curling, dripping dewdrops down, Floor covered in small things, fell from the treetop crown, At night, fireflies glow across iridescent pond…
Death, looming, the ominous sight, Howling screams all through the night, Shouting, searching, calling my name, But I shall not play death's twisted game, Hooded figure, pure darkness, cloaked, The beating drums, in blood they are soaked,…
She had been aware of the danger in this place for some time now, inch deep claw marks were slashed across various trees, and blood spatters were lying across the dry ground, she was sure of one thing, this was no ordinary beast. By the r…
Light, fluffy ornaments of the sky, Oh, mystical clouds, please tell me why, You are ever so high up, beyond the tallest reach, It is you who blocks the sun from the warmest beach, Made of water, bathed in light, A cosy blanket in the col…
It was cramped in her little tree-hole, but comfortable, despite the bloodstains of the previous owner on the walls. She spent some time figuring out where to go next, waiting and listening, she didn't want anything to go wrong. It was arou…
She had never seen a place like this, barely any snow, and covered in green, it felt warm on her paws. Little dewdrops fell off the trees onto her coat, these trees were bigger than anything she had ever seen, they towered above her, making…
She had been in the cave for a while now, still dealing with what had just happened, not knowing what to do next. Finally, she plucked up the courage to explore her new surroundings. Stalactites dripped off the ceiling and there was a stra…
She pushed herself forward through the blizzard. Maybe when the snow stopped she would know where to go, but that was unlikely, it never stopped snowing here. Knee-deep in the soft cold white, even taking a step was difficult. She looked u…
She padded across the morning snow, she was really quite tired now. Not wanting to remember the night before, but it kept creeping up on her. She stopped, looked back at her paw prints, small, but still followable. She couldn't afford to be…
Flakes of icy wonder, falling softly from the sky, A palace made of crystal ice, hidden in secrets and lies, Queen of ice sit coldly on her throne, A hardened stare, chilled to the bone, Snowfall, each flake, unique, Each a different flav…
If you ever feel stressed, hit something, it helps.
Red and burgundy leaves floating gently down, Summer no longer wears the season crown, Autumn falls, a serene orange haze, A burst of colour through the coloured maze, Carnivale of nature, a celebration to behold, Watching the falling col…
Queen of the ocean, commander of stars, Destroyer of the sunbeam scars, Goddess of the moon, brilliance and glow, It is she who makes diamonds out of snow, Her light falls on the earth like gentle tears, Slowly washing away yesterday's fe…
Creature of the night, a shadow by day, For when the sun rises, it must hide away, Blood drips off lily-white fangs, Jet black pelt where moonlight hangs, Eyes on fire with blackened flames, The winds that whisper a thousand names, Diamo…
Whispers passed from tree to tree, Forest magic and creatures free, Faeries dance across moonlit ponds, Their queen, dutiful to her royal bonds, Felfyre banished, ancient foes, Come to the forest, forget your woes, Trees, guardians, stan…
A darkened palace, a prison, a keep, Where blood runs down and secrets seep, Corridors, endless, shadows dance, But perfectly silent, still at a glance, Chains clink and clatter, in the blackness, voices moan, This abandoned kingdom, wher…
Crystal clear pools of smelted frost, Ebony-black eyes to never be lost, Snow-covered fur shaking in bounds, Breath in gasps of steamy clouds, Ears pricked attentively, alert as always, Eyes, oblivion, eternity's hallways, Crisp white sn…
Light, delicate, soft whispers of wind, The whooshing wonder where angels take wing, A hurricane's element, so changeable and strange, What a brilliant mystery, with the greatest range, Forming mountains, shaping worlds, In soft gusts of …
Tranquil serenity, most peaceful by far, The flickering shadow beneath the stars, Such a brilliant sadness, wonderful, true, Liquid beauty, eternal, ever so blue, Lit by fires that rest in flies, Glowing softly, a treat to the eyes, Down…
Enchanted, forgotten, alone for so long, Hidden, ancient, never can it be wrong, Trees twist and whisper softly as you pass, Ponds crystal clear, and still as perfect glass, Diamond liquid droplets fall from treetop leaves, As patterns of…
Sulphuric torment never to cease, Molten fury from hell's own lease, Eyes of brimstone, wings of flame, Beast of fire, agony's bane, Beneath the earth, deep, deep down, The beast awakens, flaming crown, Heart of darkness, dripping, torn,…
A bloodcurdling sound cracks through the night, A piercing howl, a dreadful sight, Beast so pure, blood running through, The dark side is cold, but awfully true, As the beast howls, she screams of pain and sorrow, Though those who hear wi…
An aerial hunter, silent as the breeze, Searching for prey for his talons to seize, A high-flying wonder, terror of the skies, A piercing call echoes as he flies, Soaring over oceans, through valleys, across hills, Forever looking, scanni…
Spots like raindrops lined with black, Falling softly on her glimmering back, Muscles ripple beneath golden hide, Dappled light falling from sunrise, A living work of art, wonderful, seldom seen, Eyes of jade, nose of obsidian, in the fo…
Dappled forest light on an amber coat, Early morning mist almost seems to float, Slashes of black draped across her muscly pelt, Soft, but deadly, fur like silky felt, Invisible to the naked eye, but spotted through careful searching, Tr…
Nowhere to go now, finally time to face, The darkness inside of me, my utter disgrace, The light burns my eyes, as they threaten my life, I've trained hard for this, blood, sweat and strife, Back of my head cold before it fires, Knew thi…
Pounding heart at a million per second, Her fantastic speed is a force to be reckoned, Dust scatters wildly as her claws scrape through, Lunging forward as if she has nothing to lose, Speeding up, the pace quickens, barely touching the gr…
A silent river, bathed in morning sun, The awakening of today, the dawn has begun, The flies buzzing wildly, petal to grass, River, still, perfect as new-bought glass, The stranger lurking, with a deadly claw, Scanning, searching, the fli…
Crashing through the icy surface, slowing down the fall, But once beneath, the wondrous blue, I feel no pain at all, Shoals of fish shimmer slightly, as I swim gently past, Coral in waves of vibrant colours, small things dart so fast, Gia…
Shiny scales shivering, shifting, A deadly head slowly lifting, Amber eyes dilate with cunning, For the rodent she stalks, no point in running, Slithering forward, a flame in her eye, Hunger is immediate, the colours lie, Her camouflaged…
Across oceans, stormy skies, Running through darkness twisted with lies, The bond we share shall never fade, Rivers of sapphire, forests of jade, Far over mountains, where wolves call, I will find you, I can conquer them all, Fate brough…
The darkened leopard, black as night, Padding through forests of misty twilight, Jade coloured leaves shiver as she passes, Pools of moonlight still as crystal glasses, The air of purest obsidian, glowing from her fur, The amber eyed beas…
An abandoned forest, so quiet and still, The birds that live there, calling so shrill, A secret oasis, hidden from sight, In the darker times, put out the light, For a lantern is bright, but the fireflies are brighter, No need for candles…
Deadly talons glinting past, Silent gliding, but oh, so fast, The dead of night, small things die, When the hunt is on, eyesight lies, The creatures scatter, the hunter dives, Misses closely, some will survive, She selects a target, the …
The beast moves swiftly across moonlit snow, Her head is poised, but her disguise will never show, The prey is ignorant, she is spookily silent, Though the wind cannot change, she is utterly reliant, The paws, though deadly, are ever so s…
Gently walking across the edge of the sea, Feeling safe, as you're close to me, We watch the flickering sunlight dance, As evening comes, we become entranced, The sun is feeling tired now, he knows he must rest soon, And when he sleeps, a…
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Through the heavens, across the sky, The bird of fire shall always fly, Over the treetops, gliding on the air, Feral, wild, no home, no lair, Evil flees, blackness runs, The glow he sheds is the rise of the sun, A light in the darkness, …
As I gaze upon the sunlit sky, just as the light disappears, I think what it would be like to be a bird, free, no fears, Birds may fly, just as fish may swim, Life happens, try not to fall in, When the candle burns out, and the light is …
I am the shadow, hidden from sight, I am the creature that lurks in the night, I am always there, no matter what you see, I am the thing that makes even darkness flee, I am the blackness, the void, the dark, I shall never fade and always …
Where darkness thrives and beauty dies, Bring the bodies to say your last goodbyes, A sadness, deep, perfection lost, Many precious lives have not been without cost, The last breath draws, a pain within, A life receded, innocent, without …
Hooded, cloaked, obscured from sight, Riding through the dead of night, She may never stop to rest or play, From the dusk of night to the dawn of day, A message, she bears, marked on her skin, She must carry it forever, burning within, T…
Tiny patterns across the sky, Twinkling softly, they never lie, Their mother, the moon, a wonder to behold, Far more beautiful than anything you've been told, The stars shine for you and me, Eternal, wondrous, it's what must be, The worl…
She stalks, she hunts, The prey is unaware, She cannot be spotted, She must take care, The wind shifts, The prey looks up, A shiver from the grass, Has given her up, Cautious and frightened, The prey flees, Leaping after it, So must she,…
Bound down to the scaled might, Lying to myself that it is alright, Finding blood upon my hands, Drawing my sword for the final stand, The dragon's word is my command, I struggle to save them, for this is dragon's land, Struggle, fight, …
I bear the marks, On my skin, The wild blesses me, From within, Cast out, Left to die, The people have left me, I must survive, The tide waits for no one, Just as the sea and sky, Light and dark, day and night, The beasts that roar and…

Looking out the window, On a cold and frosty day, Watching little birds chirp, It's sad, I have to say, I wish I was outside, Playing, having fun, I'm an outdoorsy type of cat, you see, I like to leap, jump and run, I sit here by the fire…
If you died tomorrow, What would you do today? For some would build a coffin, While others go out and play, If the world was ending, And you were saying your last goodbyes, Who would you say farewell to? Close friends or family ties? If t…

I am the place far away and close, I am the source of light that emits no glow, I am the place where wolves sing, I am old, new, the strangest thing, I am the place where many fear to go, I am exclusive, on certain nights I show, I am bi…

Across vast snow-blankets and shimmering trees, a piercing sound will mark the spot, a scream, so impossibly sad, and so amazingly wonderful that none could mimic. A song that will never be forgotten and always be whole. A wolfsong will mak…
The word that shatters empires, builds warriors and makes heroes. The word that if whispered, brings doom, peace, serenity and chaos. The word that fills a soul with regret, until humanity escapes and darkness fills. The word that strikes f…
Beauty is the cries of those who care, Beauty is in a confident persons mirror, Beauty is the ocean, calm after a storm, Beauty is children's smiles, weary but grateful, Beauty is the glimmer in an innocent eye, Beauty is not fake tan, big…

A pointless word, nobody needs it, end of story... ...Those with dyslexia will agree
Comment if you hate the damn things too! There's one crawling on my ceiling right now but I can't be bothered to squish it because I don't have any rubbish books around.
Far across the flickering surface of the deep blue ocean. The mighty, but gentle beast calls, An Ooohh, and an Aaahhh, quaking the water's moonlit surface. A stir, a shimmer, a flicker, a sound, the slightest movement carrying for miles. D…

I do not eat lamb, I believe that an animal deserves a long, happy life before it is eaten.
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies, Burnt in the fire of thine eyes? On what wings may he aspire? What the hand dare seiz…
