My bones are lead,a fresh sacrifice on pain’s altarTime is a punisher,laughing at me with its hourly seconds…Hot then frigid,when the door opens and darkness swoops in.Only I feel his breath on my cheek,Like river water caressed by papyrus;Caressing me so,”do you love me so?”My hands are lead,housing fragile skin that breaks at the glazeContinue reading “Pain’s lover”

I’m sorry that in my joy is –a practised laugh,a rehearsed pause.In my silence are words stifled by fear,yet I have no cause to be afraid. I’mContinue reading “Fragments”
Journey Through The Woods
She ties her laces,and for the walk preparesA deep breath, and she’s on her wayThe moon silently stares,A curved disk still in the sky.Her feet sink into mud,and a scream she swallows quickly.On and on she trudges,past grabbing thickets,and phantom shadowsOn and on she hurries,body a shivering mess,her heart demanding out.Finally her feet touch grass,andContinue reading “Journey Through The Woods”
