Across the void

I call; my voice falls on deaf ears – Words echoing into the void They’re searching for a listener, And the person who’ll chase my fears   I beg you, if you hear my cry You’ll give me a signal at last So that I may have my answer; May know the truth before IContinueContinue reading “Across the void”

Forbidden

At love’s mercy she cries softly Dreaming of another’s body In the darkness, the cold silence Of the doubt that binds her firmly   Is it so wrong? – she asks as fear Keeps her vision blurred, so unclear; The demon’s voice inside her mind Is taunting all that she holds dear   And trappedContinueContinue reading “Forbidden”

Broken

Dear Love, why does it hurt so much When all the pieces fall apart An aching wound, a bleeding hole; Though I once yearned to be alone Sweet love how did it all go wrong When was it that our paths diverged? What took us travelling on this course; Or were we doomed right fromContinueContinue reading “Broken”

Serenity

Take me far from civilisation Where, in the mellowing twilight haze, The sea meets the sky, a whispered touch Like the luring kiss of temptation; And to infinity your eyes gaze Singing to serenity’s calling There’s no need for a destination When you’re content, to wander life’s maze Caught in the beauty of the moment

Connection

Sometimes it’s not what’s said or done Not words, but silences between Where an echoing stillness guides You to a place of quiet peace; There a secret space awaits, and Only now you dare to open Up to trust, whilst comforting eyes Teach a different kind of lesson   Painting by Antoni Caba

Soon the festive rituals would begin, hosted by none other than King Melchior himself. Adrianna looked up to the heavens to find magenta and gold streaks saluting her eyes. The colours stained theContinueContinue reading “The Awakening: Chapters 5 & 6”

At the end of the day…

You surround yourself With noise and clutter Distractions and people And tasks to be done   Filling the day, you While away the time As you avoid the truth, Keeping up the facade   But at the end of the day When the night falls There’s no one but you, Nothing but your mind  ContinueContinue reading “At the end of the day…”

Blackout

It comes, sometimes so sudden Like fog in the mountains, Descending into every rise And fall of the slopes and valleys; Erasing all sense of up and down, as The whole world turns a numbing white   Only it’s black, black and hot As a burning sensation rushes to your head And sparks of concentratedContinueContinue reading “Blackout”

Harmony

The tinkling notes of birdsong Come wavering down the aisles Spreading midst the columns, Joined by weaving vines   Eternally strong, the stone rises Starkly against those gentle Faltering tones that flicker, Tentative in their serenade   Manmade and natural beauty Just for this moment standing Side by side in perfect harmony, A whispered glimpseContinueContinue reading “Harmony”
