Mistlands – Chapter 10
Waking was a slow and foggy process. There was a crack on the ceiling in the shape of a lopsided rabbit. With vaguely blurred vision, I watched the way the rabbit shifted with each blink until my eyes finally managed … Continue reading
Fear
I spin in circles, wider and wider, my arms spread out and my eyes closed. I spin, letting the movement caress me. The wind blows through my hair and I laugh. A real laugh, not one of the ones we … Continue reading
Relic
Steel tips climb like the shadows reflected in glass: black, white, grey; heights cutting off the cloudy sky. But nestled between the metal, a tiny stone arch remains, minute and tacky, bold with tone. No scrolls or flowers, no sharp … Continue reading
Junkyard
It’s as simple as that. We’re all just an ocean of feelings with painted smiles and glassy eyes; hearts as empty as locusts’ shells. Alone within crowds and filled with bitterness for the deceitful world. But there is a stranger, … Continue reading
The Greatest Gift
The gifts you have given me are many: trinkets purchased with the fruits of your labor; Treasures to grace our shelves. A flower of deepest summer, you present to make me smile, vivid with color and scent of life. But … Continue reading
Mistlands – Chapter 9
I was dragged through the brush at an excruciating speed; fast enough that there was no chance to try to release myself from what felt like metal cables wound around my ankle and cutting into the skin to the bone. … Continue reading
The Perfect Chord
Lay back your head, my love, Relax your troubled mind. Let me fill your world with peace, Leave the past behind. Fill the night with pleasure, Sweet, erotic bliss, Movement of both place and time, Suspended with a kiss. Lift … Continue reading
Silence
There should be a hundred different words to describe silence because it falls into a thousand variations, each with their own mood and meaning. How inadequate is our language to provide us with only the one? And the offerings presented … Continue reading
Tears
Some people can hide their emotions. Some people can hide their pain. I’ve tried. I’ve pretended it doesn’t matter. I’ve feigned blase disinterest; hidden my smiles; guarded the gleam in my eyes. But I can’t stop the tears. When I’m … Continue reading
Mistlands – Chapter 8
With one foot, I stepped straight into a noisy, clashing maelstrom of clanging swords, squealing horses, shrieking men and flying arrows. Shit. Suddenly, I understood how that piece of dropped bacon felt about the fire and frying pan. Leaping from … Continue reading
That Look
That look you give me when we’re not alone; the way your glance caresses me causes my knees to turn to water. Trembling, shivering, my heart aquiver, I sit, my eyes locked on you. The sight of you fills me, … Continue reading
Life Overwhelming
How long can one person remain sane with the constant tug and pull of needs and demands in all directions? How do you decide who and when to push back? It is never easy to scream, “Enough is enough!” I … Continue reading
Fire
With the softest of touch, the quietest of murmurs, it awakens; the fire lights, flame ignites and desire spreads its wings. Your heart thumps so loudly, I can hear its words: “feed me, bait me, kiss me, sate me.” And … Continue reading
When Loneliness Falls
Loneliness falls like silence; sudden, soft and steady, like a thick winter blanket to muffle sound, impede movement and leave you breathlessly dehydrated. It leaves no room for escape and shrouds you even when you bundle it up and travel … Continue reading
Isolation
i·so·la·tion ˌīsəˈlāSHən/Submit noun the process or fact of isolating or being isolated. Any dancer can tell you that isolations are exercises to focus on a particular part of the body and move it independently. This seems a more accurate sense … Continue reading
Fireflies
Now sleep the summer roses fair, and rest the lilies white. But waken the delicate fireflies to dance with golden light. Wake with me, my shining love, to watch the silent star fall, a shining furrow left behind as your … Continue reading
The letter I never gave you when we had decided to “take a break” for an entire month
At the moment I feel my thoughts are much more lucid than they have been for quite a while and perhaps more so than they’ll be tomorrow. Therefore, it seems most reasonable to set them down as they are now … Continue reading
Personal
Around me shuffle the mindless uncaring: drones to the everyday work. I thought my way was better- inspiring, strong, promoting the tireless effort of the invested and caring. I poured my soul into success. And you noticed. “It’s for your … Continue reading
Mistlands – Chapter 7
I passed through the castle as innocuously as I could. It takes a lot of people to keep a castle of this size running smoothly and no matter where you go, you’re bound to run into someone. But I kept … Continue reading
The Dream
A fragrant sound trails behind as I hold my eyes closed. I can feel the light through my eyelids, yet still I keep them shut. I dreamt of you, a fragile beautiful dream made of silken thread and glass. It … Continue reading
